Useful Idiots No More: The Trump administration pulls the plug on official Islamophilia
american spectator ^ | George Neumayr

Posted on 02/05/2017 6:29:08 AM PST by RoosterRedux

“A Sinister Perception of Islam Now Steers the White House,” blared a Thursday headline on the front page of the New York Times. Could anyone imagine it running an equivalent headline about Obama’s White House and Christianity — “A Sinister Perception of Catholicism Now Steers the White House”? Later, the paper changed “sinister perception” to “dark view of Islam.”

Whether or not leading imams hold a “sinister perception” of the West never figures into the story. Not a single one of their open declarations of jihad is quoted in the article. How Muslims define their own religion is of no interest to the Times. That would complicate the story too much. Readers might discover that Trump and Stephen Bannon are simply taking the authoritative definers of Islam at their word.

*snip*

The story also informs readers that the Muslim Brotherhood is “largely nonviolent,” another whopper. The point of the story is that the Trump administration is pulling the plug on the official Islamophilia of the last administration, which the Times seems to think went swimmingly. Remember the glory days when Obama was inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to his speeches, his attorney general was banning any mention of Islamic terrorism, and his CIA director was sanitizing jihad as a “legitimate tenet of Islam”? Apparently, we’re supposed to tremble at the thought that this period has passed.

The Times devotes half of a page to a tremulously assembled collection of quotes from Stephen Bannon on his “war with radical Islam.” The quotes aren’t sinister but blameless. They are proof, if anything, that the White House is finally in the hands of people who refuse to serve as useful idiots for America’s enemies.

They have been ingrained with adulation for their moral superiority. They are witless, craven opportunists with no moral foundation. One line stood out in the article. Talking about religious leaders, they represent craven and opportunistic religious relativism from secularized Christian leaders scared by Islam. In truth it is the liberal, progressive members of our society who will be the first victims of a dominant shariah society. Their effete snobbery will be as nauseating to the jihadists as it is to the enemies of jihadism. The useful idiots are always the first victims of a totalitarian regime come to power.

Either way, we still need to limit the spread of that evil cult.

Agree with your anger but using the term “eradicated” does not bode well for the Republic...

Instead of knocking them back to the 7th century, we’re sending them modern weapons and educating them in our colleges and universities.

We failed to get our conservative children into the college professorships, like the Dems from the 60’s did.

We failed to get our conservative children into journalism and news media.

Those who control the education and news control society.

The left has decided that full on warfare against the President is the only option.

I shall contend that without the people, the left will continue to diminish and die.

Everyone knows why they don’t want an armed populace. They are determined more than ever to kill freedom.

Any honest assessment of Islam concludes that Islam itself is sinister and has a dark view of the rest of humanity.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

Refreshingly clear post that gives us LOTS of ammo. Contrasts with the huge number of barf posts that have overrun this site recently, giving us nothing but a lot to vent and boo about.

I would add C%A-I=R to the list as well as all of the college organizations that are recruiting tools and indoctrination zones for the sheep that so many are. And then we get to the training and indoctrination sites commomnly called churches in our language but entirely another issue in theirs where the real training and recruiting is going on.

I won’t bother with the name changing morons running around the country like wolves in sheeps clothing running in many cases the prison training and indoctrination centers, for the oppressed and discriminated against. This crap has reached it’s zenith, and high time to begin a fast slide to the devils furnace, never to return.

We failed to get our conservative children into the college professorships... into journalism and news media.
*****************
Academia is largely a playground for failures at life (and those that never had the guts to attempt a real job) and journalism , if practiced correctly is merely taking notes... other than to a political agenda intending to warp the future they are not worthy aspirations for anyone with a brain and ambition but are at best “fall back” positions. Now that those systems desperately need reform perhaps they will entice our children.

The NYT said lastly Trump is wrong when saying it’s readership is on decline. It said, on the contrary, it has quadrupled its average subscription rate. Without giving the cancelation rate, nor any hard numbers, so most probably lies, again.
Let’s see how long they can keep up with that.

A "dark view of islam." How EVER could anyone have THAT? I mean, what has islam ever done to merit such opprobrium? It's not like they've murdered millions of people and enslaved millions more, and that they continue to do it day after bloody day.

Oh, wait ...

“With every passing day, they LIE, LIE, LIE. “

The relevance of the media decreases as each thing they say is exposed as a lie. People know if they are better off or less well off, so as they get jobs the media loses more credibility. The things the media repeats about “Islamophobia” fly in the face of reality and people see that. There is probably not a person on the planet who hasn’t seen photos of gay people being thrown off buildings or beheaded. When real people see the paid protesters and useful gay idiots backing Islam, we raise an eyebrow and continue with our business. We know idiots and the idiots are making it easier and easier to tell the difference; they wear vaginas and their cars sport Coexist bumper stickers. (Reminds me of that comedian who says, “here’s your sign.”)

When the revolution finally starts, the liberal lamestream media MUST BE THE FIRST CASUALTIES.

I agree 100 percent, usc. These vile cowards hide their treachery behind press credentials while they promote ideas that will result in the deaths of millions. They are the worst kinds of vermin, sniveling whiners who fight with a pen because they're terrified to go out and man the barricades. They leave the danger to their useful tools.

But once the shooting starts ...

“Largely nonviolent” could be used to describe Jeffrey Dahmer. Most of the time he was a real quiet neighbor.
