The joint Showtime/60 Minutes production “American Jihad” basically threw Anwar Awlaki under the bus with pronouncements such as “Jihad has nothing to do with violence”; “people are being radicalized in their bedrooms”; and Al Awlaki had a “perverted, distorted view of Islam.”
Yet Awlaki did not invent concepts such as violent jihad; he popularized them and put them into the English language. “American Jihad” makes no mention of the jihadist family ties in the cases of the Boston Bombers, or Omar Mateen, because that might suggest that the problem is not a dead man or the Internet, but rather, Islam and Muslim culture.
“American Jihad” concludes by saying that people need to be involved and empowered. That’s true, but not in the way the show’s producers mean. We must fight the ideology and kill the message, not just the messenger. “American Jihad” comes to a gap that must be hurdled, but instead balks at the edge and advocates for the same old mistakes. Empowering the people does not mean creating a panel of experts (“carefully vetted, of course”), because those experts will include people such as ADAMS Center Imam Mohamed Magid, who is featured prominently in “American Jihad.”
“American Jihad” makes no mention of the fact that Magid’s ADAMS Center was raided in 2002 by federal agents in Operation Green Quest.
“ . . . the largest investigation of terror-financing ever conducted anywhere in the world. Soon after the raids had been completed, Magid held a public meeting in the town of Sterling, where he encouraged “community building” among the groups that were being investigated. To this meeting, he invited such notables as Kit Gage of the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom; Mahdi Bray, political advisor for the Muslim Public Affairs Council; and Nihad Awad, the pro-Hamas executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Awad told the outraged crowd: “This is a war against Islam and Muslims. Our administration [i.e., the Bush administration] has the burden of proving otherwise.”” http://www.discoverthenetwo…
Mohamed Magid was also part of the process of purging the FBI of all training about the Islamic threat doctrine.
Putting Mohamed Magid on a panel of experts advising public policy regarding jihad is not empowering the people. To conclude that Trump’s immigration ban is bad because ADAMS Center Imam Mohamed Magid is hurt is madness, and is continuing the failed policy of allowing the bad Muslims to hide among the good Muslims.
Empowering the public means letting the citizens of this country speak, or draw cartoons. It means enforcing the laws we already have. It means being willing to offend Muslims, and recognize that the problem is in Islam and Muslim culture, and not with Americans, Donald Trump, dead people, or inanimate objects such as the Internet. This is something that people such as the makers “American Jihad” cannot bring themselves to admit.

More fools fodder for the democrat brain dead.

Even “homeland” is being infected by PC ideology:
1-A woman won the presidency (feminist agenda to please the feminist audience)
2-There are friendly Muslims everywhere helping the war on terror (and mad moe riding pigs on a bike).
3- Iran is abiding to the nuclear deal (If they are bought, they became nice after all)
4-German officials know what they are doing (LOL).
5- Evil businessmen run the show of terrorism with the help of evil Jews (the “Jews are to blame for terrorism” Muslim idea, coupled with the “domestic white terrorists are the worst” leftist idea)
6- A disabled CIA field ops does more for his country than all the nsa intelligence put together (“the war machine sucks” argument).
7- Israel is not to be blindly trusted (to please the Muslim audience again).

Anwar Awlaki was the head of the MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION at Colorado State University (Go Rams! …not!)
Looking at the photo above in this article, it shows how effectively he used TAQIYA (religious deception) to create the appearance of normalcy when it comes to Muslim Student Associations (MSAs)
“nothing here but kids playing, and barbecues outside on the lawn, folks. We even have a white woman to pose next to …to show that we are assimilating”.

That’s a woman?I thought it was a emasculated male democrat school teacher.
Notice the knitted woolen vest with moosilm patterns and the visual absence of breasts ,most probably
tightly strapped up with elastic bandage.

In the pic, her ? body language indicates she wants him to want her, though he seems disinterested. Could it be that she is too old by about 35 years?

Except for the anti-jihadists on the Internet, show me a media outlet that doesn’t whitewash Islam.

Mainstream western media ALWAYS tends to whitewash Islam, trying to make us think that it is somehow the “victim” or just “misunderstood” in some way.

Here is a review of a New York Times review of “American Jihad”.
“Writing about a Showtime documentary titled “American Jihad,” a television reviewer for the New York Times reports that the film “examines several of the relatively few instances of jihad-inspired terrorism in the United States.”
“Relatively few”?The phrase stopped me in my tracks.
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The 1994 murder of Ari Halberstam on the Brooklyn Bridge. The 2001 World Trade Center bombing. The 2009 Fort Hood shooting. The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. The 2015 San Bernardino attack. The 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.
How many people have to die before the Times stops describing these attacks as “relatively few”? There might be even more such attacks except that the government, over the objections of the Times, has taken certain steps to try to prevent them.
“Relatively few” is Times code for “not a problem that you should worry much about.” It’s not language you’ll often see in Times coverage of, say, school shootings, or Trump-era anti-Semitism and xenophobic violence.
The jihad-inspired attacks aren’t few relative to, say, Torah-inspired terrorism in the United States, which, thankfully, is pretty much nonexistent. In fact, relative to that, radical Islamist terrorism is relatively plentiful. The Times reviewer doesn’t explain what the jihad-inspired attacks are few
relative to, he just says that they are “relatively few.” Forgive me if I find that less than totally reassuring.
There may be some editors wise enough to eliminate this sort of nonsense from the columns of the Times, but, alas, relatively few of them were apparently on duty when this television review was edited.”

Anwar Awlaki – piss be upon him – was the imam who gave aid and assistance
to some of the 9/11 Muslim hijackers – to get them on their way to their
mass murder of almost three-thousand Americans.

The Quran IS a declaration of war against non-Muslims. It is spelled out quite clearly! There are no “grey” areas subject to misinterpretation. It logically follows that if one side declares war against the other side (non-Muslims), we ARE at war with them whether we choose to defend ourselves or not. The Muslims will continue to win, like they are doing in Europe, as long as we are led by a majority of liberals in government, who bend over backwards to ignore the danger of Islam.

These folks, and they’re far from being a minority, are firmly and inextricably immersed in the quicksand of dhimmitude.
Like obedient dogs they crave a pat on the head or a bone from their Muslim masters.
