Ben Affleck thinks Muslims are a separate race
American Thinker ^ | 10/05/2014 | Rick Moran

In their eagerness to play the race card, liberals will occassionally (?) get carried away.

That's what happened to actor Ben Affleck who got into a shouting match with HBO's Bill Mahar and neuroscientist Sam Harris over Mahar's scatthing monologue on the show last week that harshly criticized Islam:

“Why are you so hostile about this?” Maher asked Affleck.

“It’s gross, it’s racist,” Affleck replied.

“It’s so not,” Maher insisted, though Affleck compared it to using the term, “Shifty Jew.”

“You’re not listening to what we are saying,” Maher insisted.

“You guys are saying, if you want to be liberal, believe in liberal principles,” Affleck said, referencing Maher’s monologue last week. “Like, we are endowed by our forefathers with inalienable rights, all men are created equal.”

Harris, who had complained about criticism of the Muslim religion being dismissed as Islamophobic, countered that liberals should be allowed to criticize bad ideas.

“Islam is the motherload of bad ideas,” Harris argued.

“Jesus,” Affleck said in frustration.

“That’s just a fact,” Maher said, backing Harris up.

Note to Affleck: While there are certainly black Muslims, the majority of Muslims are non-Africans - Semitic Arabs (Caucasians), and Asians. To try and smear an opponent by calling him racist is so typical of many liberals who, when they feel themselves losing an argument, whip out the race card - even if it's silly to do so.

“Testify before Congress for what?”

For some reason they had him testify as an expert about Africa. They could go to any number of credentialed people about this, including ambassadors to countries there, but they chose him. Ridiculous.

I barely could listen to him without vomiting projectiles - but, having said that - if you listen carefully - he ‘corrects’ himself - he starts to recite the quote accurately saying ‘by our Cre... forefathers’ - it is so disgusting how they twist the truth even in mid-sentence’.

He is so dishonest in his arguments. I’d be as frustrated as Maher was in just trying to stick to the facts.

Ben Affleck’s problem is he is not paying enough taxes.

When Maher is right on something, you know the end is near.

I would buy into it, if he were to say, they are not of the human race.

A sub-species, of say the cockroach!

Maybe not scientific, but there is preponderance of evidence.

Is this for real? This isn’t a parody?

Radical Islam is the fringe according the sub par actor Ben Afflack?

I would bet the farm that the fringe of Islam would be the Muslim that are opposed to jihad and radicalism. Jihad is the mainstream of Islam. Cutting peoples heads off and wiping out people that don’t believe in Allah is the mainstream.

Why does the Western world not understand and refuse to see that the Muslim will either convert us or kill us all in the end?

Islam: The Awful Truth

By Justin O. Smith

American Thinker October 4, 2014

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3211166/posts

Islam is violent and repressive, and its sacred texts are the heart of darkness at the center of the Islamic State's inspiration and motivation, despite Barack Obama's assertions in September 10th's address to the nation that the Islamic State "is not Islamic" and that "no religion condones the killing of innocents." Violence is an integral part of Islamic doctrine, following the example set by its Prophet Mohammed, and in the name of Islam and Allah, Muslims have been murdering innocents, since 656 AD.

Six hundred years after Mohammed, one of Islam's most respected scholars, Ibn Khuldan wrote 'Muqaddimah' (Introduction to History), which explained: "In the Muslim community, the holy war is religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or force."

Like most good Muslims, Khaldun's inspiration came from 'The Verse of the Sword', Sura 9:5, "revealed" towards the end of Mohammed's life, as well as similar themes previous to Sura 9:

Sura 9:5__ “...kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them ... But if they repent and perform As-Salat/ Iqamat-as-Salat [the Islamic ritual prayers], then leave their way free..." Also Sura 9:33__ "It is He [Allah] Who has sent His Messenger [Mohammed] with guidance and the religion of truth [Islam], to make it superior over all religions..."

The Hindu Kush, seventy-five thousand square miles between Afghanistan and Pakistan, was populated by Hindus until approximately 1000 AD and the Muslim invasions. An estimated 60 million Hindus were murdered by Muslims over a thousand year reign, and Hindu Kush is the Muslim name for the region. It means "Hindu Killer.”

****************************************************************************

ISLAM RELIGION OF THE SWORD

At the beginning, when they were a small minority, Mohammed preached respect for other religions condemning forced conversion to Islam; those are the parts of the Koran used by those who falsely proclaim that Islam is a “religion of peace”.

What they hide is that In Islamic tradition, affirmed by many scholars, there is the doctrine of “abrogation”, which states that later revelation to Mohammed supersedes prior revelations, and the Koranic verses ordering Muslims to fight and slay infidels, Christians and Jews came after those admonishing Muslims to live with non-believers in peace and without religious compulsion.

It is a well known fact the bloody history of Islam, but Obama, and a gutless media, still call it a “religion of peace”, even though that in the name of Allah more than 220 millions infidels have been slaughtered by Muslim, since the prophet of Allah beheaded in 627 AD over 700 hundred men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped entirely the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza.

In conclusion: You cannot separate “terror” from Islam.

“The issue of “terror” is a further aspect of this same understanding. Many outside Islam seek to separate “terror” and “Islam” as if they were, in their usage, independent or even opposed ideas. This latter view is almost impossible seriously to maintain in the light of Islamic history and the text of the Qur’an itself.”

“The Islamic State and the broader jihadist movements throughout the world that agree with it are, I think, correct in their basic understanding of Islam. Plenty of evidence is found, both in the long history of early Muslim military expansion and in its theoretical interpretation of the Qur’an itself, to conclude that the Islamic State and its sympathizers have it basically right.”
