Watch Trey Gowdy Give Piercing Response to Obama Equating Concerns About Syrian Refugees to Fear of ‘Widows and Orphans’

Nov. 19, 2015 Fred Lucas

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) responded to President Barack Obama mocking assertion that caution from Republicans over accepting thousands of Syrian refugees is about being scared of widows and orphans.

The president says we are scared of widows and orphans,” Gowdy, the chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, said Thursday at a hearing on the Syrian refugees. “With all due respect to him, what I’m really afraid of is a foreign policy that creates more widows and orphans.

'So maybe where he ought to start is a foreign policy in the Middle East and Syria where people can go back to their homelands, which is their preference,” Gowdy continued. Maybe you ought to defeat that JV team you thought you had contained. That would be the very best thing you could do to help people aspire to a better life.

Did Beck get permission from CNN to post this to his site?

hey, trey, do you think that baby that got left with the islamic terrorists’ grandmother in California will one day grow up and seek to avenge mommy an daddy’s deaths?

DO you think grandma was aware that her son’s house was an IED factory, and that she might well be an accessory to islamic terrorist attack?

Do you think American’s would be cowardly to fear what that baby and grandma might decide to do in the future?

Do you think we might get AG Lynch to look into the possibility of an islamic terrorist cell being in California as opposed to her looking to persecute Americans objecting to islamic terrorists being imported here by our government?

Hey, trey, do you think go ahead and impeach AG Lynch for issuing threats to American citizens, because you, to be frank with you, I am pretty damn sick of being attacked by my government right after being attacked by muslim terrorists EVERY DAMN TIME, Trey.

Channel 4 investigation uncovers the British women supporting ISIS

22 Nov 2015 News Releases

Tomorrow night, Channel 4 will broadcast an undercover investigation which has uncovered some of the key British women who are supporting Isis – right here in the UK. Led by young British Muslim reporters, the production team managed, over 12-months, to infiltrate an inner circle of British women glorifying jihadis and promoting extreme Isis ideology both online and directly to women and young impressionable girls - often in the presence of very young children.

Captured before the deadly attacks in Paris, the undercover footage shows female Islamic State sympathisers in Britain who, in weekly two-hour lectures in London, are: using racially abusive language to describe Jews and Israelis, telling young Muslim women Britain is waging a war against them and urging them to abandon democracy and travel to Syria to join ISIS.

One of the women the programme identifies is the former leader of the female wing of the banned terror group once known as al Muhajiroun whilst another is known to have resided with an extremist preacher, also a former member of Al Muhajiroun.

The three women, identify themselves as Umm Saalihah, Umm L and Umm Usmaan on Twitter. Two operate in positions of authority within their circles and lecture women in secretive study sessions.

They are first identified in the investigation after promoting pro-Isis ideology on social media platforms. After extensive direct messaging on Twitter and making key contacts at a demonstration outside Regents Park Mosque, the undercover reporter is able to meet them face-to-face at an Islamic roadshow on Lewisham High Street, London. Gaining their trust, she is able to join them at their closely-guarded women-only study sessions which are strictly by invitation only.

The investigation was brought to a close four weeks before the attacks on Paris when the women – who were all established close contacts - became suspicious of the undercover reporter. The leader of the study circles Umm L challenged the reporter, preventing her from leaving unless they can look through her possessions. Eventually the reporter was able to leave but was banned from future contact and attending future sessions.

Story from a Leftist magazine.

Women and Islamic Militancy
Rafia Zakaria â–ª Winter 2015

Protesters demand the release of Aafia Siddiqui, Karachi,

This article is followed by a response by Meredith Tax, along with Rafia Zakaria’s reply.

In the last email it sent to journalist James Foley’s parents, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) mentioned one person by name: Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. “We have also offered prisoner exchanges to free the Muslims currently in your detention like our sister Dr. Aafia Siddiqui,” it said, “however you proved very quickly to us that this is NOT what you are interested in.” Days later, Foley was beheaded. More beheadings—gruesome, grotesque, and professionally filmed—have followed, drawing the United States further into the conflict in Iraq and Syria.

Siddiqui, a Pakistani neurophysicist, was in prison in Carswell, Texas, when ISIS proposed a deal to free her. the militants had not forgotten her, although it had been years since her 2008 capture in Ghazni, Afghanistan, and her January 2010 conviction in New York for the attempted murder of federal agents. For ISIS, as for many other jihadist groups, Aafia Siddiqui is a heroine.

A small but growing number of young Muslim women have joined an estimated 20,000–31,500 ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria. About 10 percent of foreign recruits from Europe, North America and Australia are women. Of these approximately two hundred women and girls, the majority are believed to be between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five. Seventy women are thought to have come from France, sixty from the United Kingdom, and scattered numbers from other European nations and from Canada. Two American women from Denver and Minneapolis have probably joined the group as well.

Why is ISIS drawing women, particularly from Western countries with supposed access to secular freedoms, to heed the call of an extremist group well known for its misogynist ideology and its violent treatment of women?

While Aafia Siddiqui herself was never a member of ISIS—she was convicted and imprisoned before the group was formed—she is an example of a “Muslim woman warrior,” an ideal celebrated by jihadists around the Islamic world. As a highly educated Muslim woman who rejected what she viewed as Western freedoms, she represents an alternative, if highly controversial, portrait of empowerment that groups like ISIS use to appeal to other women. Consider how a female ISIS blogger, Umm-Layth, seeks to attract recruits: “Our role is even more important as women in Islam, since if we don’t have sisters with the correct Aqeedah [conviction] and understanding who are willing to sacrifice all their desires and give up their families and lives in the west in order to make Hijrah [migration] and please Allah, then who will raise the next generation of Lions?”

How do background checks compare between gun buyers and refugees? Most gun buyers are on the radar. They have a parking ticket, a credit score, a marriage license or maybe even a real birth certificate. What do refugees have?

Yes, Trey Clowdy with a chance of rain. What a major disappointment he has turned out to be. He seems to have approach/avoidance issues. He gets close to doing something good - and then, and then... of course fails to do it. He has moved into the ranks of the RINO’s. Where, oh where, are the men of character in America today? Are there none left that can’t be turned by the DC machine and the temptation of $$$? This is what happens to a nation that abandons its God and traditional morals and values. Men without chests as C. S. Lewis once wrote but now we have them without chests AND brains.

Why no photo of the female terrorist? Is Obama holding it back?

Law enforcement has posted face photos publically, of a deceased to assist in identifying who may have seen the deceased previously and under what circumstances. So that can be done, but I do not expect the Government to do so for fear of offending Muslims.

SMH that our govt won’t do the right thing.

I used to think maybe the women and children could be saved but the children are the terrorists of the future who are raised and taught by the women.

Trey Gowdy is superb at running his mouth and looking all upset and accomplishing nothing.

Attorney General’s ‘greatest fear’ isn’t Islamic terrorism - it’s attacks on Muslims because of a backlash in wake of shootings

‘We cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on,’ said at a dinner for a Muslim advocate group
Lynch did not mention the shooting in San Bernardino, California, committed by two Muslims and currently under investigation by the FBI
Authorities said yesterday they couldn’t be sure the shooting was terrorism, but GOP presidential contenders said it obviously was
AG later said she had observed an ‘incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric’ since ISIS’’ assault on Paris and the talk ‘edges towards violence’
