Full Title: You may have heard that a Heritage Foundation panel reportedly 'taunted' a Muslim student: Watch the video and decide for yourself
A Heritage Foundation panel formed to discuss the White House's handling of the Sept., 11, 2012, terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, went off-course Monday and turned into a broader discussion on the West versus radical Islam.
The event, which was attended mostly by conservatives, gained widespread attention after the Washington Post's Dana Milbank reported that the panel's speakers engaged in the “ugly taunting” of Saba Ahmed, a young Muslim woman who is currently enrolled at American University as a law student.
“We portray Islam and all Muslims as bad, but there’s 1.8 billion followers of Islam,” she said to the panel. “We have 8 million-plus Muslim Americans in this country and I don’t see them represented here.
“But my question is how can we fight an ideological war with weapons? How can we ever end this war? The jihadist ideology that you talk about: It’s an ideology. How can you ever win this thing if you don’t address it ideologically?” she asked.
Panelist Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, was the first to address her question, telling Ahmed that “there isn’t anybody on this panel who thinks all Muslims are the problem.
“I think we absolutely do need to deal with this as an ideological war,” he added.
The panel’s Brigitte Gabriel, who is part of group a called ACT! for America, was next to address Ahmed’s question.
She didn’t hold anything back.
“We are here to discuss how four Americans died and what our government is doing,” Gabriel said, chiding Ahmed that the purpose of the panel was to discuss Benghazi, not address the issue of radical Islam.
Clinton gets too much media buy-in for her anti-accountability efforts Also from the Washington Examiner Clinton gets too much media buy-in for her anti-accountability efforts By Timothy P. Carney • 09/13/16 4:23 PM “We were not here to bash Muslims,” she continued, “you were the one who brought up the issues about ‘most Muslims.’ Not us. And since you brought it up, allow me to elaborate with my answer.”
Gabriel, a Lebanese Christian by birth, launched into a speech:
There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. Of course not all of them are radicals! The majority of them are peaceful people. The radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25 percent, according to all intelligence services around the world. That leaves 75 percent of them peaceful people.
But when you look at 15 to 25 percent of the world’s Muslim population, you’re looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization. That is as big [as] the United States.
So why should we worry about the radical 15 to 25 percent? Because it is the radicals that kill. Because it is the radicals that behead and massacre.
When you look throughout history, when you look at all the lessons of history, most Germans were peaceful. Yet, the Nazis drove the agenda and, as a result, 60 million people died. Almost 14 million in concentration camps; 6 million were Jews. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
When you look at Russia, most Russians were peaceful as well. Yet, the Russians were able to kill 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
When you look at China, for example, most Chinese were peaceful as well. Yet, the Chinese were able to kill 70 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
When you look at Japan prior to World War II, most Japanese were peaceful as well. Yet, Japan was able to butcher its way across the Southeast Asia, killing 12 million people, mostly killed with bayonets and shovels. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
On Sept. 11 in the United States, we had 2.3 million Arab Muslims living in the United States. It took 19 hijackers, 19 radicals, to bring America down to its knees, destroy the World Trade Center, attack the Pentagon and kill almost 3,000 Americans that day. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
So for all our powers of reason and for us talking about moderate and peaceful Muslims, I’m glad you’re here. But where are the others speaking out?
The crowd rose to its feet and rewarded Gabriel with applause.
“And since you’re the only Muslim representative in here, you took the limelight, and instead of speaking about why our government —” she paused for a moment.
West versus radical Islam?
Nope.
Islam versus civilization.
BUMP
Every time I hear/see this it warms my heart. She killed it. What a solid answer, no BS, no PC. This is what America needs more of.
Never get on Brigitte’s bad side
Saba Ahmed wears an American flag as hijab. In your face, infidels!
You go girl.
Brigette, you are wonderful. Thank you for posting this - I hadn’t seen it.
“Washington Post’s Dana Milbank reported that the panel’s speakers engaged in the ‘ugly taunting’ of Saba Ahmed”
Dana Milbank is just another liberal media rapist who has been raping innocent victims with her words while liberal Washington Post editors turn a blind eye. They obviously enjoy watching their journalists rape people with their slander.
These same people, like Hillary herself, blame the “tone” of Trump and conservatives for jihad, while they spread their filthy lies defaming and slandering us all over the Internet and other news outlets.
They stir up racial hatred and blame us for it.
They stir up hatred for cops and get cops killed.
They promote political violence and charge us with causing it.
There should be consequences for their lies.
Change “taunted” to “soundly refuted” and the headline works. Aspiring law students had better learn that counterargument happens.
But the adult Muslim law student’s question was by no means stupid. Ideology in the form of religion drives Islamic violence, and transforms yesterday’s “peaceful” Muslims into tomorrow’s killers. What can we do on an ideological level so this doesn’t happen? Doing nothing does not seem to be working.
Exterminating all active jihadis in the field and making any pretense to a caliphate unthinkable are military/political solutions that would have an ideological impact.
I propose widespread publication of How about publishing material that shows the falsity of the entire Islamic myth. Islam is just a heresy of Judaism, cobbled together from vaguely understood, independently evolved, traditions from Syria and Babylon. Historical evidence for Mohammed’s life and deeds appears many years after his supposed lifetime. Contemporary corroborating records in the literate societies in the surrounding areas are silent on Mo until they robber tribes erupt in crusader mode into a vacuum left by Persian and Byzantine collapses. Even the location of Mecca is unclear — the modern version might be inaccurate. Many of the hadiths were concocted by Islamic lawyers to support their legal arguments.
Islam should be exposed as a big old fraud, created as a vehicle for violence, thievery, the subjugation of women, etc., in the context of an impoverished, ignorant, brutal, cultural backwater. Adhering to its anti-rational precepts prevents economic progress and a decent standard of living for hundreds of millions of people. Dying for such a cause would be a joke of epic proportions. Is telling the truth about all this “taunting”?
Dana Milbank is a RAT liar. MSNBC loves his lying ass.
This video should be posted at least once month, so we are reminded of the propaganda lies spread by self-styled "peaceful muslims :"
I hope to remember to post this link every month, while we struggle through the propaganda of the useless; the politically correct enablers, ignorant of history and clueless about the uncontrolled (Obama) tidal wave of certain killers arriving every day, courtesy of our Stealth Muslim traitorous "president."
There are consequences.
Hillary has Parkinson's disease and will most likely be tried for serious crimes after Trump becomes President.
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, is making mistake after mistake exposing his Muslim terrorist agenda. Why does he refuse to say radical Islam? It's because he is a Muslim and the game plan is to act like Muslims are just like Christians.
The DEMORAT Party has been exposed as a group of frauds, liars and cheats.
ETC.
The REPUBS gave Hussein enough rope to hang the DEMORAT Party and the Muslim terrorist playing President did a great job doing it.
