The murder of the truth continues ……
‘A People’s History of Muslims In the United States’: Really?, By Pamela Geller, Breitbart News, March 17, 2015
Dr. Susan Berry reported Monday that “among the news items at the radical Zinn Education Project this month is a post highlighting the work of Alison Kysia, author of ‘A People’s History of Muslims in the United States: What School Textbooks and the Media Miss,’ part of the Zinn Education Project If We Knew Our History series.”The Zinn Education Project is apparently taking a page from the revisionists and cultural despots who for years now have sought to rewrite history and propagate historical fictions via museum exhibits and other historical myth-making techniques in order to destroy our code of values and unprecedented history in defense of human freedom and individual rights.
Story continues below advertisementBerry notes that Kysia lauds the vicious Islamic supremacist Linda Sarsour, a practiced exploiter of the “hate” smear against foes of jihad terror and Islamist supremacism and has never apologized for using the Islamic honor murder of Shaima Alawadi to spread lies about the prevalence of hate crimes against Muslims in America. She is also rabidly antisemitic (and, of course, a darling of the Leftist media), and has said that “nothing is creepier than Zionism” and has equated it with “racism.” She is, unsurprisingly, a frequent visitor to the Obama White House and has claimed that the jihad underwear bomber was a CIA agent — part of what she claims is a U.S. war against Islam.
Berry also writes that “Kysia bemoans what she calls ‘the sanitized story of Christopher Columbus’ taught in U.S. history textbooks that she says overlooks the Muslim-led revolt against Columbus’ son Diego on Christmas Day in 1522.”
No doubt Kysia never mentions that Columbus only sailed West from Spain because he was looking for new trade routes to India after the Muslims closed the traditional routes after their conquest of Constantinople in 1453. But she pulls out every leftist club that she and her allies use to beat the West and demonize Judeo-Christian civilization: McCarthyism, Jim Crow, you name it.
650,000 Americans died fighting in the Civil War — but Kysia finds one Muslim soldier to highlight. Is his story even true? It makes no difference to the left and their Islamic supremacist allies. They have to be the victim in order to wage war.
“It’s essential that students know that resistance to colonial domination has always been a part of our history – and Muslims played a role in this resistance from the earliest days,” says Kysia.
This is sharia enforcement: sharia enforcement extends far beyond the obvious attempts to silence critics of jihad and sharia. The scrubbing of the 270 million victims of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations, and enslavements from academic texts has been going on for well over a decade. The demonization and smearing of politicians who dare speak against the most extreme and radical ideology on the face of the earth is virtually automatic at this point, as is the self-enforcing sharia compliance of the mainstream media.
And now we see historical revisionism take on a new life, as history is scrubbed and manufactured Muslim myths are presented as fact.
I have written before about this important but little-noted weapon of the Islamic propaganda machine in the U.S.: the whitewashing of the ghastly Islamist present by creating a fictional glorious Islamic past.
How do Howard Zinn and his spawn come to rewrite history and dictate what is taught to our children? The same way that Bill Ayers, a terrorist bomber, comes to be a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar.
We are overwhelmed with this poison — everywhere, at every turn. Look at how Wikipedia describes the Ayers bombing:
The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Before the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS. “During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969]”, disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously been a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant who was killed in 1970 along with Ayers’ girlfriend Oughton and one other member in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, while constructing anti-personnel bombs intended for a non-commissioned officer dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
How glorious it all sounds. My Wikipedia page, by contrast, sounds as if I am one paragraph short of being a serial killer. This is no accident. Wikipedia is just another tool in the arsenal of the enemies of freedom. It’s great if you want to learn all about Marcus Aurelius or Millard Fillmore, but about contemporary defenders of freedom it is not so good. Deeply compromised, in fact.
And as for Zinn’s Muslim “history,” it revolves around Muslims who were supposedly among the first slaves in the Americas. Yet many African slaves were sold by Muslim slave traders to the European slave traders. Why would Muslim slave traffickers sell Muslims to other slavers? Are Muslims just racist as Europeans? Zinn never addresses that. But his fanciful “histories” are the establishment narrative anyway.
By contrast, my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) is targeted for marginalization and demonization. My website, Atlas Shrugs (www.PamelaGeller.com) is banned from military bases. AFDI is banned from elemental inclusion in, for example, Amazon’s 501c3 charity program.
Why? Because we stand for freedom. Because we stand for truths that the mainstream refuses to tell the American people. Because we aren’t afraid to enunciate truths that most are too fearful even to approach. The fact that this gets us banned and vilified everywhere is testimony to how far we have fallen.
Given the overwhelming success of the left’s complete coup on American culture and academia, as well as its near-total control of the media, music and movies, it is only natural that its supremacist partners would exploit their vicious war games.
Rewriting history is what the left does, and it is what Islamic “historians” have done for centuries. The Zinn “history” is just more of the same.

Hi Darrell,
Islam is the fastest growing religion in America.
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-fastest-growing-religion-in-america-is-islam.
The people of US and UK are mostly educated and intelligent community. They only convert to Islam after studied Islam and AlQuran deeply. AlQuran is a book of truth and proven through modern science and mathematically miracle.
The report estimated around 5,200 men and women have adopted Islam over the past 12 months, including 1,400 in London. Nearly two-thirds were women, more than 70 per cent were white and the average age at conversion was 27.
On April 27, 2014 the United Arab Emirates was declared number one in the world for treating women with respect, according to a major scientific study
comparing development and well-being among all 132 nations of the world. UAE has successfully implemented Islamic Law.
A lot of non muslims working in UAE in Oil and Gas Industries and they earn
good pay. Thanks for muslim countries that provide jobs for non muslim.
Beer, nightclub and porks are available everywhere for non muslim. At night
time a lot of people went to parks for jogging in peace.
The global Social Progress Index also ranked the UAE as number one for the lowest level of violent crime, the lowest homicide rate, the lowest
undernourishment rate, and the highest rate of enrolment in secondary
education.
The report was produced by a team of prominent international economists led by Professor Michael Porter of Harvard Business School, as part of an initiative launched by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council.

Apparently this Allison Kysia is a vicious nut, that’s what you need to be to defend islam. She can try and dress that filthy pig in a silk suit, but it’s still a pig. If ya gotta an IQ over 60 you probably know this.
And Pam is right, she stands for truth and freedom, but she’s vilified. How many times in history has truth and good morality suffered for ignorance and hate? This certainly applies here. This ill-treatment of Pam and friends only serves to extol her efforts, to me. Her critics can never make her look “wrong” to moral thinkers, only more “right.”
Great post, Pam! The true god of love has picked the right person for the job!

I have just joined your following. I sought out one of your oldest comments because I wanted to ask you a more general question without spoiling your output. I regularly use ‘bold’ and ‘italics’ on YT, but haven’t known how to do it on Pamela. I saw that you have figured how to use italics anyway – would you tell me how it’s done please? – Thank you, Paul Middleton.

It’s easy. Before the sentence you want to italicize bracket the letter “i” in between these:
Then at the end of the sentence you do the same, but a forward slash goes before the “i”:
If you want to do bold then put a “b” in place of the “i”

You are a star for that, as you say it’s easy – thank you.
May I just say it’s great how ‘prodigious’ you are against Islam.
!!! You are very busy. (I am too, but I’m battling on YT).
I feel we’re slowly winning this war, mebbe two steps forward and only one step back. (The step back being due to the cowardice of our incumbent leaders and the press). For me, once you look into and uncover Islam, there’d be something wrong with you if you didn’t then want to battle against it.
Cheers, ‘Jack.’

Oh how the Islamians love to cast themsrlves as part of the “oppressed” masses. It is anti-white propaganda designed to ingratiate themselves into the “down with the struggle” crowd. CAIR and its various offshoots sided with the Ferguson rioters, Holder, Sharpton, and Obama against the police and law and order which they pretend is “white racism.” The Islamofacists are decidedly anti-Christian, anti-West, anti-Jewish, and anti-white and they’ve joined forces with all others who are like-minded. So let it be noted.

Talking about Islamists in the US, Pamella, I think you ought to call out stealth jihadis like DrM a UCLA graduate medic who promotes anti-american anti West and anti Israel hate conspiracies in private at his own blog anonymously http://drmaxtor.blogspot.com and at loonwatch.com where he comments under the name DrM and at Living Traditions
http://living-tradition.blogspot.com/2005/02/feedback-on-community-reform.html
and other Islamist jihadi blogs.
DrM AKA Dr Rusdie Cader, a UCLA graduate who runs a Muslim Clinic http://www.ummaclinic.org from public finances teaches law enforcement officers who have no clue that he is a hate promoter http://www.swattrauma.com/PRACTI-SEAL/About_Us.html and he was arrested in Israel http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2002/588/re5.htm then deported.

Islam is better than other religions. If you’re against a certain population, do not attack all followers of the religion. I support that you are against terrorism, but making fun of the Prophet Muhammad is a hurtful attack against all Muslim people.. You’re attacking thousands of innocent Muslim people. And if you think that this is freedom, then I have freedom to hate and berate you, Pamela Geller.
