Trump, at White House Iftar, hails Ramadan’s “timeless message of peace, clarity, and love”
https://www.jihadwatch.org ^ | 06/07/2018 | Robert Spencer

“Clarity,” really? Not “charity”? The White House website says “clarity,” so that’s that.

Anyway, a jihad group explained Ramadan this way back in 2012: “The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.”

So which is it? Is Ramadan a time of “peace, clarity, and love,” as Trump said last night, or is it a “month of holy war and death for Allah”?

Islam’s core texts make it clear that the latter statement is closer to the truth.

During Ramadan, Muslims are exhorted to renew and deepen their devotion to Allah. Hence it is a time when they’re supposed to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims. However, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves” (48:29).

If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to the Ramadan observance will simultaneously become more both merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers.

I guess it’s one of those rare occasions Trump has to say and do something for
the Muslims.

Unless we're going to go to war with 1.5 billion muslims right now the POTUS has to be our premiere diplomat and maintain a position from which he can negotiate and hold out hope that we won't have to declare war on all of them.

I don't have to be diplomatic though...

The Mohammad Factor

If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn slavery you condemn Mohammad.

If you condemn Mohammad you condemn Islam.

Trump said something stupid and delusional. It happens, don't overanalyze it or try to pretend it's 38DD Chess. It's just a stupid political statement. At least he's not inviting the Muslime Brotherhood ...

He could have wished those peaceful Muslims out there a good month. Period.

When will any sitting president honor 9/11 in the WH not the ROP who did it? Would a sitting president honor say Christianity if they were responsible for all the atrocities the ROP is doing by holding a dinner on Easter? Would that president honor Japan for Pearl Harbor with a dinner on Dec 7th?

It’s PR pablum.

As for Ramadan’s timeless message, there always seems to be a little murderous rage spewing forth from some Muslims somewhere to mark the occasion....

My Trump Approval Rating has just decreased because of this Rama-lama-ding-dong dinner.

It’s now at 87.5%. Instead of 88.0.

Perspective people. Keep all things in the proper perspective and look at the big picture.

Hubs says President Trump did not invite muslim brotherhood types, not any of the agitating jihadis that Bath House Barry had parading around.

True?

But I’m not pleased, I thought we were doing away with this crap tradition altogether. If it’s a means to bring the subhumans to heel I might tolerate it better.

Same here. My ratings went down but not that much. It’s a strategy. We cant have him hate everybody.

That treatment is exceptional to the MSM and the EU, China etc.

I don’t read it that way. Trump is projecting and holding them to a standard that he expects to happen.

I great my mechanic with, “How is the worlds best mechanic today?” It works for me.

Before the time of Muhammad, Ramadan was a month of peace when the warring tribes of Mecca were forbidden to fight each other. Muhammad continued the tradition for many years.

Your mechanic is an honest man who wants to fix your car in exchange for money.

Mohammedans, particularly the true believers, are bound by their ideology to lie to, cheat, steal from, and ultimately kill the unbeliever.

Calling mohammedanism a "religion of peace" is as stupid as calling communism or national socialism political systems that protect the poor.

...”timeless message of peace, clarity, and love”....As far from the truth as anything can be.
