Reza Aslan calls for genocide, says Trump supporters must be “eradicated”

AUG 10, 2019 5:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

The cannibal Aslan has somewhat faded from the public eye since he was fired by CNN and exhorted readers in his last book to take the advice of the oldest and most celebrated self-improvement coach, Satan: “take a lesson from Adam and Eve and eat the forbidden fruit. Do not fear God. You are God.”

Last January, however, in the midst of the media savaging of a group of Kentucky high school students were accosted by a Native American activist, Aslan called for violence against the student most prominently featured in circulating videos of the incident. When Dinesh D’Souza called him out on it, Aslan doubled down by saying he wanted to assault D’Souza:

Aslan, of course, doesn’t have to worry about getting banned from Twitter any more than does his fellow fascist C.J. Werleman. But Aslan’s tweets show the increasing mainstreaming of violence on the Left, in addition to its utter contempt for the freedom of speech. They’re neo-Brownshirts, ready to silence those whom they hate by means of violence, and they’re increasingly open about it. If D’Souza wrote this to Aslan, he would be banned from Twitter and excoriated by Leftists and conservatives alike. But Aslan will continue to be heralded on the increasingly thuggish Left.

This shouldn’t come as any surprise to those who are familiar with Aslan’s rancid public career. That this sinister jihad enabler was ever given a mainstream platform is a dispiriting sign of the times. His show on CNN was devoted to showing other religions as violent and hateful, and Islam as benign and peaceful. Also, Aslan is a Board member of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push aside any pretense that NIAC is something other than Iran’s lobby. Speaking at the forthcoming ‘Expose AIPAC’ conference, Abdi is featured on the ‘Training: Constituent Lobbying for Iran’ panel. Oops.” Iranian freedom activist Hassan Daioleslam “documented over a two-year period that NIAC is a front group lobbying on behalf of the Iranian regime.” NIAC had to pay him nearly $200,000 in legal fees after they sued him for defamation over his accusation that they were a front group for the mullahs, and lost. Yet Aslan remains on their Board.

Meanwhile, despite his increasingly obvious Islamic heterodoxy, Aslan remains popular with Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in the U.S.: he has also spoken at events sponsored by the Muslim Students Association, a Brotherhood group, as well as at an event co-sponsored by the Los Angeles chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Doubtless they recognize that he shares their overall agenda.

Not surprisingly, after a trip to Israel he lied about being threatened by Shin Bet.

Aslan is as stupid as he is evil. It’s also worth noting that despite being hailed as a great intellect, Aslan isn’t actually very bright. He is, in fact, a borderline imbecile who frequently states howlingly false errors of fact, but is, never called out for them by his friends in the establishment media. He has made the ridiculous claim that the idea of resurrection “simply doesn’t exist in Judaism,” despite numerous passages to the contrary in the Hebrew Scriptures. He has also referred to “the reincarnation, which Christianity talks about” — although he later claimed that one was a “typo.” In yet another howler he later insisted was a “typo,” he claimed that the Biblical story of Noah was barely four verses long — which he then corrected to forty, but that was wrong again, as it is 89 verses long. Aslan claimed that the “founding philosophy of the Jesuits” was “the preferential option for the poor,” when in reality, that phrase wasn’t even coined until 1968. He called Turkey the second most populous Muslim country, when it is actually the eighth most populous Muslim country. He thinks Pope Pius XI, who issued the anti-fascist encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, was a fascist. He thinks Marx and Freud “gave birth to the Enlightenment,” when it ended in the late 18th century, before either of them were born. He claims that “the very first thing that Muhammad did was outlaw slavery,” when in fact Muhammad bought slaves, took female captives as sex slaves, and owned slaves until his death. He thinks Ethiopia and Eritrea are in Central Africa.

A “renowned religious scholar” such as Reza Aslan should not make such elementary mistakes. But this is, of course, the man who writes “than” for “then”; apparently thinks the Latin word “et” is an abbreviation; and writes “clown’s” for “clowns.”

“Reza Aslan Calls For Genocide Against Trump Supporters,” by Ian Miles Cheong, Human Events, August 6, 2019:

CNN contributor and liberal intellectual Reza Aslan is calling for the “eradication” of Trump supporters. In a series of aggressive tweets directed toward the President and those who voted for him, Aslan remarked – in response to the mass shooting in El Paso – that President Donald Trump “is a white nationalist terror leader.”

Arguing that there was “no longer any room for nuance” – words that are remarkably similar to Dayton shooter Connor Betts’ calls for violence on Twitter – Reza openly called for the genocide of Trump supporters.

“The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters – ALL OF THEM – are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And his evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.”

In the same series of tweets, Aslan called Kellyanne Conway “”’the depraved evil’” we need to eradicate,” following her remarks that America needed to come together in the wake of the mass shooting. The CNN contributor took her call for the eradication of hate and turned it upon her with a call for the eradication of a group of people – Trump supporters – of which Conway is a part….

Armed with dehumanizing language, Aslan’s call for the “eradication” of the Left’s political opponents and his characterization of Trump supporters as an “evil, racist scourge” is rooted in the language of Holocaust proponents and other architects of 20th-century genocide.

The term “eradicate,” when used in the context of groups of people, is a call for genocide. An early intelligence record on Hitler’s “Final Solution” was declassified in 2001 under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, which contains statements by Axis diplomats referring to a plan for the “eradication” of Jews in Europe.

“The Jewish problem is being partially solved in the Protectorate [Reich Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia], as it has been decided to eradicate all the Jews and send some to Poland and others to the town of Terezin, whilst looking for a more remote place,” reads an official Nazi dispatch to the Chilean government.

In reference to genocide, identical language is used by historians, journalists, and human rights organizations

Asslan has always impressed me as an unbalanced ignoramus. His widely praised 'study' of Jesus 'The Zealot' reads like the production of a sophmoric and disturbed mind.

The only thing that stops this from happening is private ownership of firearms.

I don’t even know this dimwit and he’s calling for me to be murdered. Ok you puny man. Come on up to my neck of the woods and try it. I have a commanding view of my canyon and meadow and can draw a bead on your head at a thousand yards or more. What a complete punk and a half. These people are really pushing us and I fear that when push comes to shove the fur is gonna fly. I guess the best advice is don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.

If we get red flag laws, be rest assured that this jerkoff will never get flagged even for comments like this, while we will get flagged for voting republican.

Rules do not apply to leftists.

He’s not going to personally eradicate anyone. He will send useful idiots / goons to do the actual deed.

I can hear the cheering in the movie theater already. With no laws (inciting murder) pertaining to Hollywood, Antifa and Muslims being enforced, stuff could happen.

No kidding. If they managed to ban guns, they would quickly arm their ‘Civilian Force’ to take us out.

When talking about his plans for Trump supporters, did he ask the traditional question "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Reza Aslan is an Iranian-American scholar of religious studies, writer, and CNN television contributor.

Never heard of him until now.
