Virginia Muslim leader says it’s “Islamophobic” and “hate” to use words such as “Islamist extremist”

Virginia Muslim leader says it’s “Islamophobic” and “hate” to use words such as “Islamist extremist”

“Islamist extremist” is itself a phrase that attempts to distance Islam from the violence perpetrated in its name and in accord with its teachings. So is “Radical Islam.” But as far as Esam Omeish is concerned, any speech that suggests that there is any connection between Islam and jihad violence must be stigmatized and silenced. This is the clearest example yet of how the New Zealand massacre is being exploited in order to shut down any criticism, no matter how mild, of jihad terrorism and Sharia oppression of women and others.

“U.S. Islamist Leader Calls for Stigmatizing Words He Calls ‘Islamophobic,'” by John Rossomando, IPT News, March 20, 2019:

Anyone who uses terms including “jihadist,” “violent jihad,” “Islamist terrorism” or “Islamic extremist” is a hater who deserves to be shunned, an influential Muslim political leader argues.

Esam Omeish issued this call Friday on Facebook, in the emotional wake of the Christchurch mosque massacre in New Zealand.

Omeish is a board member at the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., which has exhibited Muslim Brotherhood sympathies. He previously served as president of the Muslim American Society (MAS), which prosecutors say was established as the “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.

“Anyone who uses the following terms is Islamophobic and must stop their hate,” Omeish said.

Memo to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups which have “jihad” in their name: Esam Omeish thinks you hate Muslims.

“Violent jihad” is a fairly clinical term used by prosecutors in cases like the Boston Marathon bombing, a domestic terrorism plot in North Carolina and al-Shabaab supporter Zachary Chesser.

His list of telltale words and phrases also a bit surprising, given that Omeish’s 2000 praise for Palestinians who chose “the jihad way” to liberation, captured on video by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, led him to resign from a state immigration committee in 2007.

Other statements Omeish now sees as inherently hateful include “Islam hates us,” “Islam is not a religion,” and ban “Shariah law.”

“Islamophobia kills!”, he wrote. “Enough of this hate and Islamophobia!

Granted, his comments came as the world learned of the horrific terrorist attack that killed 50 Muslims during prayer at two New Zealand mosques.

But Omeish, even in an emotional state, may not be the best messenger to call people out for hate.

In addition to praising “the jihad way,” he also mourned Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in 2004 after Israel assassinated him saying, “It is our tax dollars that have killed our beloved Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.”

He wrote an open letter to President Obama in February 2016 urging support for the Mujahideen Shura Council of Derna against the secular militia leader Khalifa Haftar. But the council has ties to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), as a Libyan al-Qaida supporter wrote in a 2015 treatise called “Sorry O’ you Claimed ‘Islamic State’ in Libya.”

If you don’t separate out the undesirables from your group - including the radicals that demand death of any who aren’t them - then you’re saying they ARE part of your group.

I agree with him if he’s saying that it should just be inferred that if you’re an Islamist then your an extremist.

If there is no such thing as Islamist Extremist then I guess all the bombers, hijackers and throatcutters are just mainstream Islam then. Even more reason to send them all on one-way trips back to their hellholes.

Virginia Muslim leader says it’s “Islamophobic” and “hate” redundant to use words such as “Islamist extremist”. Fixed it.
