U.S.A Already Has A Partial “Muslimban”

By on February 13, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, Loon Politics

Donald Trump and the strategists in his “think thank” Breitbart, want a “Muslimban.” They demand that the U.S.A take fewer Muslim refugees, and privilege Christians. But the U.S.A is already doing so. According to PEW Research, the U.S.A takes in more Christian refugees than Muslims. The approximate figures for the years 2002-16 breakdown this way: 400,000 Christian refugees and 280,000 Muslims (0.08% of US pop).

PEW reseach reported last year that for a long time the US has handpicked the refugees it chooses to “help.” In reality there is already a partial Muslim ban. The U.S.A prefers Christians to Muslims when choosing which refugees it wants to “help.”

PEW wrote:

Overall, a far larger total number of Christian refugees than Muslim refugees have entered the U.S. since fiscal 2002. During the past 15 years, the U.S. has admitted 399,677 Christian refugees and 279,339 Muslim refugees, meaning that 46% of all refugees who have entered the U.S. during this time have been Christian while 32% have been Muslim…

That the number of Muslims increased in 2016 is due to the crisis in Syria. Note also that the number of Christian refugees increased as well.

Regarding Syria PEW wrote:

The administration set the goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. in the fiscal year. This goal was exceeded, and refugee status was given to 12,587 Syrians. Nearly all of them (99%) were Muslim and less than 1% were Christian.

As a Swede I have to say that this is not much. Sweden is a small nation, its area is 173,860 square miles, with 10 million people and (The area of U.S.A is 3,796,742 square miles and it has 324,522,000 inhabitants ) Sweden has taken in more than 300,000 refugees during these years. In 2016 we took in 45,600 refugees from Syria alone. The U.S.A. can do better than it does today. It could also stop its current partial “Muslimban” too.

Catholics Should Be Familiar with Breitbart and Trump´s Migration Ban

By on February 12, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, Feature, General

Is the hatred of Muslims and Trump’s “Migration Ban,” consistent with Catholic values? That is something Breitbart writes much about, and for them the answer to these question is yes. Several of their leading editors and journalists are Catholic, like Milo Yiannopoulos and Steve Bannon.

But Catholics should remember that 90 years ago racists, led by the Ku Klux Klan, demonized the Catholic Church with a rethoric similar to Breitbart today. As for the “Migrant Ban,” Catholics were partially victims of the “Migrant Bans” of 1921 and 1924.

There are many similarities between Breitbart’s hatred of Muslims today and the hatred of Catholics in the history of the U.S.A. 

“Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves.” Coolidge 1924 Republican convention.

“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship… America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration… Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.” Coolidge December 6, 1923 message to Congress

We will look at the similarities between anticatholicism and Islamophobia in a series of articles here on Loonwatch. There are many similarities. In this article we shall look at the 1924 migration ban that restricted the immigration from Catholic countries in southern Europe, and the surge of anti-Catholic hatred in U.S.A in the 1920s.

Breitbart and the Catholic church

Breitbart is writes a lot about the Catholic church. Among its editors and journalists are several Catholics. Milo Yiannopoulos and Steve Bannon are both Catholic. But the relationship between Bannon and the U.S. Catholic community is not good. U.S. Catholics are too positive on immigration, Bannon believes.

Bannon allegedly said on March 8, “I understand why Catholics want as many Hispanics in this country as possible, because the church is dying in this country, right? If it was not for the Hispanics. I get that, right? But I think that is the subtext of part of the letter, and I think that is the subtext of a lot of the political direction of this.”

Another Breitbart contributer is Thomas D. Williams. He is a professor of ethics and Breitbart correspondent in Rome. He is Catholic. He has frequently written about Muslims as a threat, and is defends the Migrant Ban, even citing saints to defend it.

But he is wrong. Catholics should know better than to spread hatred against Muslims and supporting “Migrant Bans” that according to Donald Trump have the purpose to limit the number of Muslims that can enter the U.S.A.

Catholics have themselves been victims of similar “anti-Catholic” Migrant Bans.

The 1924 “Migrant Ban”

The 1924 Immigration Act was the result of several years of propaganda to restrict immigration from “undesired” parts of the world. Already in 1921 restrictions had been instituted with the Emergency Quote Act.

Catholics in Alliance writes.

Following the War, the popularity of immigration restriction was at an all-time high. In response, Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act in 1921, which established fixed limits on the number of people emigrating to the U.S. from any one country. The 1921 Act established the quotas based on 3% of the number of immigrants from each national origin group based on the 1910 census, which reflected fewer numbers of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe than the time in which the act was under debate. In fixing the quotas based on the 1910 numbers, Congress hoped to keep out the supposedly inferior races, such as Italians, Poles, and Slavs.

In 1924, the Johnson-Reed Act extended the quota system in an even more discriminatory process, changing the basis of the quotas to the 1890 census, when even fewer Southern and Eastern Europeans had been present in the United States. The new legislation thus discriminated against Catholic immigrants, the majority of whom came from the “undesirable” regions of Europe. The quota system established by the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act remained in place for nearly three decades.

The Catholics were worried. Even if Catholic immigration was not entirely stopped (Immigration from Latin America was unrestricted, and from Ireland), they knew that they were targeted. Anticatholicism was widespread in the U.S.A. and the Ku Klux Klan had many followers in the political parties, especially the Democratic Party.

Migration from Protestant countries was encouraged while migration from Catholic ones in southern Europe was restricted, as we can see above in the figures of the immigration after 1924. That was hardly a coincidence. Most historians view the 1921 and 1924 immigration restrictions as anticatholic. Most informed Catholics do the same.

“Catholics are criminals and terrorists”

Anticatholicism has a long and violent history in the U.S.A. Already John Jay instituted a “Migrant Ban” in New York State. It was Jay who wrote the Continental Congress’s 1774 address to the people of Great Britain. The Congress wanted a “Migrant Ban” to stop Catholics.

“Nor can we suppress our astonishment, that a British Parliament should ever consent to establish in that country a religion that has deluged your island in blood, and dispersed bigotry, persecution, murder and rebellion through every part of the world.” (John Jay 1774)

In the mid 1800s there were plenty of anticatholic riots where people were brutally killed. The violence was aimed at Catholics, expecially the Irish, that were seen as bloodthirsty parasites and rapists, by many at the time; racists feared a “Catholic takeover of the U.S.A.” Then there was the political party called the “Know Nothing” in the mid 1800s. Know Nothing and the influential American Protective Association in the end of the 1800s sounded much like Breitbart today. This is the APA oath:

“I do most solemnly promise and swear that I will always, to the utmost of my ability, labor, plead and wage a continuous warfare against ignorance and fanaticism; that I will use my utmost power to strike the shackles and chains of blind obedience to the Roman Catholic church from the hampered and bound consciences of a priest-ridden and church-oppressed people”.

Anticatholicism increased in the early 1900s. Catholics were seen as violent terrorists, as well as adherents of a dangerous religion that allegedly demanded that you give up your individual freedom. This article in The Menace from 1915 is typical for the anticatholic hatred at the time.

At this time the Ku Klux Klan restarted their operations in the U.S.A. In 1915 it was refounded. KKK is today remembered mainly because of its hatred against Blacks and Jews. But it was equally anti-catholic. It was responsible for much of the anticatholic hatred that plagued the U.S. in the 1920s.

Its anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish propaganda sounds very much like Breitbart today. According to the Clan the Jews and the Catholics had dangerous religions and cultures that threatened the western civilization. The Catholics were terrorists that bred like rabbits and wanted to conquer the world and slaughter all protestants.

In the Principles and Purposes of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan you can read:

The myths about the “islamization America” today has its historical roots in the myths about “Jewish take over of USA” and the myth that Catholics wanted to “make America Catholic”, that the KKK spread in the 1920s.

It is perhaps no coincidence that the “migration ban” came in 1924 when Coolidge was president. Many believe that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

Coolidge was a complex person. On one hand he did NOT denounce the Ku Klux Klan when the opponent in the Democratic party, J.W. Davies, did so in the presidential election 1923. He refused and that made Catholics scared. Davies demanded that Coolidge should do so, but he did not. Coolidge wanted the support of the white people in the Southern U.S.A. On the other hand he did portrait himsels as a “friend of the assimilated Catholics” and defended their right to be citizens. He differentiated between the unassimilated and the assimilated ones.

The 1924 “Migrant Ban” can be seen as a compromise. The KKK partly won, in that migration from the most “dangerous” Catholic and Jewish areas was restricted. But the Irish and Latinamerican immigration continued.

The KKK marching in Washington D.C. 1926.

In 1928 Al Smith was the first Catholic to run for President. He ran on the Democratic ticket and was defeated, due to the anticatholic ferment at the time. His critics defended the KKK and claimed that he was a part of a secret plot to conquer and destroy the USA:

The Roman Catholic edict has gone forth in secret articles, “Al Smith is to be made President.” Doctor McDaniel said: “Of all countries the Pope wants to control this country.” “The Knights of Columbus slogan,“ said Doctor Chapman, . . . ”is make America Catholic.” Here they tell you in their book that they will force the propaganda of Protestants to cease, they will lay the heavy hand of a Catholic state upon you and crush the life out of Protestantism in America.

In future articles we will expand on this topic. When John F. Kennedy was elected there was a surge in anticatholicism again that is well worth looking at too.

Catholics SHOULD be worried

The rhetoric Breitbart uses is often the same as the one against the Catholics. The same myths, the same, loose claims, the same ideas about “their takeover”, the same demographic lies, the same claims that “they are prone to be violent and are terrorists”, the same fear of a “Muslim” or “Catholic” president.

Considering the “Migration Ban” in the 1920s, the Catholics in the U.S.A should be worried, very worried about the ban; and about the hatred Breitbart spreads.

      Great article. In many of our history books and all television there is talk about what the KKK did. Nowhere does it mention that the KKK was a extremist Protestant organization. By writing this article, you have probably enlightened many people to that fact. Keep up the great work.

    • GaribaldiOfLoonwatch

      We have to interrogate this whole notion of “Western civilization.” Often it is assumed that this construct is the product of Hellenic-Greek antiquity bequeathed to the “West.” But this is a bunch of bull, there is no western civilization without the contribution of Islam, Blacks, Jews, etc.

    • Khizer

      The more things change, the more they stay the same, when you look back on all these events in U.S. history, you have to wonder,

      “How do we keep falling for this xenophobic crap? First blacks, Jews and Catholics, who turned out in the end NOT destroying or conquering western civilisation, and now Muslims, who will NOT destroy or conquer the western civilisation….”

FYI Israeli-French Citizens: Israel Is Also Racist

By on February 10, 2017 in Loon-at-large

Marine LePen, ultra-nationalist, whose party the “Front National” a court in France ruled can justifiably be described as “fascist” has said that dual nationalities, those who hold Israeli and French citizenship would have to choose one or the other.

In a display of irony, Haaretz published a report on LePen’s proclamation that says many dual French-Israelis would choose Israel over France. My question to these folks: you do realize that Israel is an aggressively racist, colonial-settler state, right? So you aren’t okay with racism and neo-colonialism in France but just enjoy the Israeli flavored racism? Is it because it targets you and in Israel it targets Palestinians and Muslims?

Many French Jews who have immigrated to Israel told Haaretz that in such a case they would choose to remain citizens of the Jewish state, but said they fear for the physical and financial safety of those who continue to live in France or who travel between the two countries.

“My choice is made, I would remain Israeli, because Le Pen’s behavior is truly fascist,” said Agnes Hanna Goldman, a 60-year-old who works in public relations and movie production and is in the process of moving to Tel Aviv.

The Antisemitic Origin of the Myth that Obama is a ”Muslim Mole”

By on February 9, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, Feature, General

There are many similarities between antisemitism and Islamophobia: One is that political leaders of the world often have been accused of being secret “Jews” or “Muslims.” The intent is to smear them by using antisemitic or Islamophobic slurs. Words like “Muslim” or “Jew” to many are nasty words that imply that the person is an “unpatriotic traitor” or “terrorist.”

Modern and historical antisemitism and Islamophobia is often based on the myth that there is a global conspiracy to conquer the world: antisemitic myths about a global Jewish or Zionist conspiracy like the Protocols of the elders of Zion and Islamophobic theories of a Muslim takeover of the west such as the Eurabia myth. Different national leaders that are seen as a threat to the racists are either branded as “Jews” or “Muslims” or as quisling collaborators of each.

Of course, to all decent and sane human beings there is nothing wrong in being a Jew or a Muslim. A political leader that is a Jew or a Muslim is no different from leaders that are, for example, Christian or Atheists. The only thing that matters is what is in your mind and in your heart, not what religion or ethnicity you have.

But racists are not decent. For them calling someone Jew or Muslim has a specific purpose: to slander a person (and the group of people you hate). One typical example of this is how the current president of the USA, Donald Trump, has attempted to use the word “Muslim” as a slander against former President Barack Obama;  implying that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

The myth behind this Islamophobic slander is that Obama was not born in the USA. He has a “false birth certificate.” He was born in Kenya as a Muslim, it is claimed. He was therefore never a legitimate president. To top it all off he was a part of the conspiracy to make the Muslims conquer the USA. Obama was a security risk since “all know that Islam and terrorism are connected.”

Obama was supposedly brought into this country as a little baby, a kind of Muslim baby-agent and was later raised with the intent to destroy the USA and the west, according to this myth.

“He doesn’t have a birth certificate. He may have one, but there’s something on that, maybe religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim.”  ”I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t want that.” (Trump to Fox News 2011)

You can read more about this myth at Snopes or google it.

Trump did not invent this myth. He picked it up from the nether world of right-wing “fake-news” churners: Pamela Geller, Alex Jones or Breitbart. His security adviser Steve Bannon has for a long time spread the myth that Obama is a radical Islamic “mole” via Breitbart and in other venues.

If you search Breitbart you can see that Breitbart claims that “Obama is a Muslim” that wants to “eliminate the USA” and that the job of Obama was to “promote Islam.”

Search on Breitbart and read it for yourself.

“Roosevelt the Jew”

So where does this myth originate? In this case it is not so hard to find the origin. Trump and Bannon use the slogan “America First.” That reveals the origin of this myth: the pro-Nazi movement of the 1930s and 1940s.

This Islamophobic myth has an antisemitic origin.

America First was an antisemitic movement that had the aim to prevent USA from entering the war against nazi Germany. The movement promoted the idea that the USA should cooperate with the Nazis. The movement used anti-Jewish propaganda extensively and slandered Franklin Delanore Roosevelt in many ways. For them FDR was a traitor that worked with the British and the Jews. Many went so far as to say that FDR was a Jew. In order to slander him, much in the same way Obama was in his tenure.

The myth is still widespread among modern antisemites on the internet. But it is old. It was already in use during the beginning of the 1930’s by friends of Henry Ford. In 1939, a German professor, Dr. Johann von Leers, published an analysis of the ancestors of president Roosevelt and came to the conclusion that he was a Jew. His mother was called Sarah Delano and was said to have Jewish ancestors back in the 1600’s, according to this myth the family stayed Jewish “in secret” from that point on.

One “evidence” of his Jewish origin that was presented was that FDR married a cousin. According to standard myths about Muslims and Jews they often marry their cousins; FDR was a victim of this myth.

Another “evidence” was that Roosevelt allowed European Jews that fled the Nazis move to the USA. FDR is trying to make the USA “Jewish” by letting the refugees enter the country, the antisemites claimed. In a similar way Breitbart today spreads the lie that Obama was a “Muslim mole” because he allowed Syrian and Iraqi refugees to enter the USA; he was trying to “Islamify/Muslimify the USA.”

FDR himself knew exactly what was going on.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” (FDR about America First.)

Antisemitic hatred against other presidents

Other U.S presidents have been victims of antisemitic slanders, as well as anti-Catholic slanders.

  • President Wilson  was president when World War I ended. According to antisemites he was a Jew and a part of the global Jewish conspiracy to take over the west.  The antisemites viewed the League of Nations, that he was in favour of, as a “Jewish conspiracy” and have connected myths about the Federal Reserve to this conspiracy. According to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Wilson had a Jewish great grandfather that was born in Poland. Besides that the KKK claimed that the second wife of Wilson was Jewish and that her father took the name Bolling when entering the USA. The antisemites claimed that the birth certificates of the relatives of Wilson had been falsified.
  • Presidenten Eisenhower was a victim of similar slanders. According to the myths he was of Swedish-Jewish origin and it was claimed that his father was called David Jacob. His birth certificate was of course falsified too, according to the legend. (For modern examples, look at  this, this and an article about the “Swedish Jew Eisenhower” here.)
  • Harry Truman was president when Israel was created was slandered by the antisemites for that. They claimed that he was a Jewish mole. Similar rumors are spread even today about Lincoln and Kennedy. But in the case of Kennedy it is claimed that his wife was a Jew and somehow involved in the assassination. Kennedy was a victim of slanders about a global Catholic conspiracy. While he was alive he was describes as a Catholic mole. After his assassination some mythmakers claimed that the Pope killed Kennedy.

The argument here is not that there would have been anything wrong if they had been Jews. There was certainly nothing wrong in the fact that Kennedy was Catholic. And if Obama had been a Muslim that would have been OK too. 

What frightens me is how words like “Jew, “Muslim” and even “Catholic” through the years has been used to slander American presidents. What scares me is how racists are blaming all the evils in the world on groups of people, like Jews or Muslims.

      Yeah, that’s part of the absurdity of it but it’s also not as if Muslim leaders of states have not gone to war with other Muslim nations, perpetrated wars, support Israel overtly or covertly. I get that these are often supported/instigated by the US but lets apportion the correct amount of blame to the correct actors.

    • Sarfaraz A.

      Mr. Obama bombed 7 predominantly Muslim countries (Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq). Mr. Obama accelerated the drone-attacks in the said countries. His address to the Muslim world from Cairo (Egypt) in 2009, after taking the office, gave no fruitful results — he’d vowed to reconstruct America’s shameful reputation, especially in the Muslim world since invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. However, Obama himself ended up destabilizing more Muslim countries (Libya, Syria and Yemen), and prolonging the U.S. military’s presence in Afghanistan (by extending the US-NATO military operation).

      Before relinquishing his powers, Mr. Obama last approved $38 billion dollars in military-aid to Israel (the #1 enemy of Muslim countries). He continuously supported Israel’s brutal assault against Gaza (2012 and 2014) with arms and money by stating that “Israel has right to defend itself’.

      Still, he’s a “Muslim mole” …?

    • MichaelElwood

      I hadn’t heard of most of these instances where presidents were said to have had some relation to Jews. The only one I was familiar with was Mrs. Kennedy. However, her ancestor, Anthony Jansen Van Salee, wasn’t a Jew but a Muslim who immigrated to New Amsterdam (later New York) in the late 1600s. Van Salee’s personal copy of the Quran remained in the family for a long time until it was auctioned off. It seems that Mrs. Kennedy herself was the one who insisted that her ancestors were Jewish. She apparently thought that having “white” Jewish ancestors would be less controversial than having “mulatto” Muslim ancestors:

      “Either Professor Hershkowitz, or Tim Beard, former head of the Genealogical Department of the New York Public Library related this incident regarding van Salee genealogy. At the time the Kennedy administration began implementing its civil rights agenda, the New York Genealogical and Historical Society approached Mrs. Kennedy hoping to discuss the opportunity her African ancestry, through the Van Salees, could have in possibly assisting her husband to realize his social goals regarding race relations. Mrs. Kennedy insisted on referring to the van Salees as ‘Jewish,’ and the New York Genealogical Society did not push the subject further.”

Steve Bannon Claims: “U.S. Jews are Behind the ‘Muslim invasion’”

By on February 8, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, General

Breitbart claims that they are “friends” of the Jews. In reality they are not. They often claim that “Jews control everything,” and talk about Jews as responsible for “multiculturalism” and the “Muslim invasion.”  Individual Jews like George Soros are smeared and demonized.

The myth that Jews are behind “multiculturalism” and the alleged “Muslim invasion” is one that Nazis and white supremacists have spread for decades. What is worrying is that Breitbart and its former head, Steve Bannon, agrees with this and Bannon is now the main adviser to President Donald Trump.

“The U.S Jews” are behind the “Muslim invasion,” Steve Bannon claimed 2007. This is an entrenched trope among White supremacists and many Islamophobes, as Garibaldi has pointed out in a previous Loonwatch article.

In Bannon’s version of this trope Jews are “enablers,” that albeit with the “best intentions” are paving the way for those that want to create “The Islamic States of America.” This was a view Bannon presented in a script for a film, that never was made.

“The Islamic States of America.” It would be comprised of interviews of people who, like Bannon, believe that the threat posed to the West is broader than Islamist extremist terrorists, embracing an array of Muslim advocacy groups. It describes as “enablers among us” – albeit with the “best intentions” — major media outlets, the CIA and FBI, civil liberties groups, “universities and the left” and the “American Jewish Community. It also describes “front groups and disingenuous Muslim Americans who preach reconciliation and dialogue in the open but, behind the scenes, advocate hatred and contempt for the West.” (Source)

Jews behind “Muslim invasion”

This concept of “enablers” is one that Bannon shares with the Nazis. It actually originates from Nazis and antisemites. The first time ever I heard these allegations was when visiting the USA in 1992. The now defuct Liberty Lobby and Willis Carto spread these lies.

I am from Sweden. Here the Nazis have published a book: “Hur Sverige blev Mångkulturellt” (How Sweden became multicultural). In it they claim that the Swedish Jews created multiculturalism and opened the door for Muslims to migrate to Sweden. In all countries they have published similar books and articles. The Danish Nazis claim that Danish Jews are behind the immigration of Muslims. In Great Britain they talk about the conspiracy of the British Jews to bring in Muslims, etc, etc.

The same with white supremacists and Nazis in the USA. On Stormfront angry Nazis discuss the “Jewish” enablers of the “Muslim invasion”. The antisemitic New Observer claim: Jews Push Muslim “Refugees” on US and Jews at “Forefront of Welcoming” Invasion. The KKK Grand Wizard David Duke states the same, as do “Real Jew News“. And so on, and so forth.

The one person the Nazis and the antisemitic alt-Right hates more than any other Jew is the Hungarian-Jewish-American businessman George Soros. The antisemites claim that he funds the “Muslim invasion”, as well as the opposition against Donald Trump, and everything else that they don’t like.

It is troublesome that Breitbart propagates the same thing. Soros funds the “Muslim invasion” in the USA and Europe, illegal immigration, and opposition to Trump, according to it. A coincidence? Hardly!

As a matter of fact, spokespersons of Breitbart constantly downplays the threat of antisemitism. Milo Yiannopoulos, a Catholic with Jewish descent, downplays “white” antisemitism and even claims that antisemites are right(!). “Jews run the banks, Hollywood and Media” (3:15), he states.

It is equally troublesome that he claims that all nazis and antisemites on the internet just are spoiled kids that wants to provoke people. (7.00)

Many have described Steve Bannon as an antisemite. Many Jews are understandably concerned about Bannon and Breitbart.

If you open the comment section of Breitbart you find much antisemitism. Direct attacks on Jews and classical Jewish objects of hatred, like the Rothschild family. But the most striking thing is the hatred against George Soros and the insane number of comments by people that want to shoot, strangle or hang him. (The comments below are a few examples of it from one article about Soros.)

Jews have many reasons to be worried about Steve Bannon and Breitbart.

      There is a myopic tendency that falls into a lazy thinking that seems to say Jews are the main purveyors of Islamophobia. I reject this gross generalization simply because it is not backed by empirical research or facts but it underplays (thereby doing a disservice to the fight against Islamophobia) the great role of hard and soft white supremacy, Christian Zionism, etc. It often mirrors the doppelganger claims of racists who think George Soros is behind all “liberal” evil, it treads the line to close to the line of the protocols.

      Individuals such as Sam Harris and Maher are Zionists but then so is Chomsky, clearly they are violently (in the realm of ideas) opposed to one another.

      Maher isn’t propelled primarily by some idea of affinity to his “Jewishness” but rather the ideology formation of new atheism. I will never throw Jews under the bus by ceding Judaism into a conflation with Zionism despite efforts (which will fail) by mainstream, increasingly irrelevant Jewish institutions such as the ADL, AJC conflating the two.

      Alt-Righters (ctrl-alt-right-delete) are so bloody paganistic. They worship themselves alone – if only that they might be given a bit of the spotlight.

      They’ve taken “There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about” (Oscar Wilde) to an even higher level than Eye have. THAT’S HYUUUUGE!!!

      Unfortunately, they’re smart enough to know that there are masses of angry-hence-thoughtless followers to really put a grand dent into Humanity herself.

      The Bastards.

      Some may be Zionists, but some may also just be mainstream Jews who are staunch supporters of Israel. The only common trait they share is that they are both Jewish. One can also argue that Zionism has become the new mainstream Judaism. The Zionist agenda is what receives mainstream coverage throughout the media.

      Loonwatch does a great job exposing the perpetrators of Islamophobia, but I feel that it should also spend more time in who finances it and why. All roads lead back to people who want to portray all Muslims as terrorists in order to build support for Israel over the Palestinians. In fact, even though there are Palestinian Christians, they are not covered for the simple fact that the supporters of Israel wish to portray the Palestinians as a “Muslim problem”.

      Last week on Real Time with Bill Maher, Sam Harris was invited back to the show to spew his nonsense. Is it just coincidence that these two atheists, who both have Jewish mothers, are staunch supporters of the Jewish state of Israel. I think not.

    • GaribaldiOfLoonwatch

      Let’s not generalize Jews in this manner. Yes a great deal of Zionist Jews finance or perpetuate Islamophobia. Israel does so as well. On the flip side many, many Jews oppose Islamophobia as well. There are collectives such as Jews Against Islamophobia, Jewish Voices For Peace who are taking on these nasty folks.

    • Joey Sanders

      Jews aren’t behind the Muslim invasion, but they are the main financiers of the Islamophobia industry which propagates such views. They are not entirely blameless in this matter.

      Also, Milo has claimed to be a Jew, so he is more than just a descendant. I think people like Milo should be careful. He is playing with fire. Once they are done with Muslims and Blacks, who does he think they are going to come for next?

      The kind of rhetoric being propagated by the White power movement and Breitbart usually does not end well. As people who saw the fall of Yugoslavia can attest to. It can have very severe consequences.

    • Amie

      And yet Jews like Pamela Geller contribute to Breitbart. She actually published a piece saying she as a Jew supports Bannon appointment. Of course, Jared Kushner is not far away from Bannon either.

Rohingya Suffer “Unspeakable Cruelty” Because Of “Muslim Faith”

By on February 8, 2017 in Anti-Loons, Feature

By Garibaldi

The Rohingya suffered for decades under a brutal military regime in Myanmar, and now despite a “democratically” elected civilian government headed by so-called “human rights icon” Aung San Suu Kyi, the “slow-burning” genocide (as one Burmese scholar described it several years ago) has accelerated.

Since October, the Burmese military has been conducting a horrific “clearance operation” targeting the Rohingya that has displaced nearly 100,000. Reports and action alerts by rights groups, Rohingya activists and media organizations have been sounding the alarm to war crimes and crimes against humanity for years now. These calls while gaining some attention have failed to garner the requisite awareness in proportion to the magnitude of the issue; it often gets swept under the carpet.

The UN recently published the most damning and devastating report on the Myanmar military’s crimes against Rohingya that I have ever read. The response has been one of categorical dismay from many who were unaware of the Rohingya cause.

The flash report – released today by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) based on its interviews with people who fled Myanmar after attacks on a border post in early October, the ensuing counter military operations and a lockdown in north Maungdaw – documents mass gang-rape, killings, including of babies and young children, brutal beatings, disappearances and other serious human rights violations by the country’s security forces.

“The devastating cruelty to which these Rohingya children have been subjected is unbearable – what kind of hatred could make a man stab a baby crying out for his mother’s milk. And for the mother to witness this murder while she is being gang-raped by the very security forces who should be protecting her,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein.

“What kind of ‘clearance operation’ is this? What national security goals could possibly be served by this?”

Today, Reuters has another horrific exclusive report stating that the death toll has been under reported, according to them upwards of 1,000 Rohingya have been killed in the military onslaught.

In response, Pope Francis today made a powerful rebuke of the Myanmar government. The Pope has been a consistent voice opposing oppression. In 2015, he visited the Central African Republic and urged Christians to end religiously inspired hate attacks against Muslims who were in the last throes of being genocided from the country.

The Pope’s call is important as Myanmar not only persecutes the Rohingya but other minorities as well: the Kachin, Shan, Karen and Mon people among others.

Pope Francis made his comments during an unprepared section of his weekly address. He appeared to be referring to a UN rights office “flash report”, issued last week, detailing allegations of abuse, rape and murder of Rohingyas at the hands of the Burmese military.

The Rohingyas were “good people”, Pope Francis said. “They are not Christians, they are peaceful people, and they are our brothers and sisters.”

He then urged the 7,000 people present in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall to join him in prayer for all migrants who have been exploited and humiliated, and in particular for the Rohingyas who, he said, “are being chased from Myanmar and are fleeing from one place to another because no one wants them”.

      Great article, we encourage people of all faiths to support each other. Rohingya need our help.

    • GaribaldiOfLoonwatch

      Agreed! Malaysia has recently been in the forefront of putting Myanmar “on notice.” The greatest failures have come from the Bangladeshi regime which has had a horrible trackrecord in its treatment of Rohingya and in collaborating with the Myanmar.

    • GaribaldiOfLoonwatch

      I agree there is a bias but the retort will be what about Kosovo, or Bosnia (even though they were late on that) and the answer is that these interventions served NATO interests and securing Europe.

    • Sarfaraz A.

      The West always interfered in sovereign countries to help establish independent states for minority Christians. For example 1.) the West interfered to establish East Timor for Christian population 2.) again, the West interfered to establish South Sudan for Christian population by breaking a huge Muslim-majority country.

      However, the Kashmiri Muslims, Palestinian Muslims, Chechen Muslims and Rohingya Muslims are still suffering and being butchered, for them, no human compassion to come either from Muslim states or so-called champions of human rights from the West.

SNL: Sean Spicer and the “Radical Moose Lambs” Threat

By on February 6, 2017 in Anti-Loons

Trump and company have been getting brutally ridiculed on SNL for quite some time. I agree with the Atlantic article, this is one of the best SNL sketches in a long time; Melissa McCarthy knocked it out of the park.

, , , , , , , ,

    • HSkol

      I agree. I haven’t liked SNL since its early days with Steve Martin, Aykroyd, Belushi, et alia. I’ve tried to watch it here and there, only to feel disappointed. This new stuff is pretty stinkin’ funny. I love that “Spicy’s” podium is now apparently motorized.

    • GaribaldiOfLoonwatch

      I thought it was pretty good. I disliked SNL, especially for giving Trump a platform, and some of the sketches are really bad but the political satire has been on point recently.

  • HSkol

    I’ve heard raving reviews, but haven’t yet seen it. I’ll seek it out online tonight for certain. Seems that SNL found the right “Spicer”.

Black and Native Seminoles Joined Forces Against the U.S. Army

By on February 6, 2017 in Anti-Loons, General

Readers please follow Sapelo Square: An Online Resource on Black Muslims in the U.S. on Facebook. It is a great page that posts relevant topics, facts and events on Black Muslim history in the United States.

“Seminoles in Florida claim that some of their number are descended from African slaves who before emancipation managed to escape and mingle in their ranks, even converting some of the Seminoles to Islam. The Algonquian and Pima languages are said to contain words with Arabic roots. Cherokees claim that a number of Muslims joined their ranks and say that the chief of the Cherokees in 1866 was a Muslim named Ramadhan Ibn Wati.” (Smith, Islam in America, 68) Black and native Seminoles joined forces against the U.S. army during two wars in 1812 and 1835.

Judge James Robart Halts Trump Order: “No One Is Above The Law”

By on February 5, 2017 in Anti-Loons

Federal Judge James Robart, who it seems is actually just a really good guy, put a halt to the executive order signed by Trump banning refugees, and also opined that the state (Washington and Minnesota brought the lawsuit) would likely prevail on its claim that the order is unconstitutional.

Of course, Twitler-in-chief, was besides himself and tweeted something dumb about overturning the “so-called” judge’s ruling.

Update, 9:52 p.m.: CNN is reporting that Customs and Border Protection is reinstating revoked visas for travelers affected by the ban, indicating that the executive order is no longer in effect.

On Friday night, in the most stinging and widespread rebuke to the new administration so far, a federal judge in Seattle ordered a nationwide stay on President Trump’s week-old executive order barring travelers from seven countries from entering the U.S., Reuters reported.

Unlike the judicial orders already in place, the order entered by Judge James Robart (a George W. Bush appointee, in case you’re keeping score) went to the heart of the executive order, requiring that the travel restrictions be stayed immediately. Federal officers are barred from enforcing the parts of the ban that target immigrants from those seven countries and refugees, and that grant exemptions to refugees on the basis of their religion.

      But it took years to strike down portions of the Patriot Act and Guantanamo Bay is still open. It just goes to show you that the courts are helpless or helpful when they want to be.

Are Muslims Rapists?

By on February 4, 2017 in Breitbart Watch, Loon Politics, Loon-at-large

Hatred against Jews and hatred against Muslims have a lot in common. One thing in particular is that throughout history Jews and Muslims have been accused of being rapists. The Nazis in the 30’s were well known for their claim that Jewish men seek to rape “Aryan women and small girls” to “make Europe more Jewish.” The myth that all Jewish men are rapists is still being spread among antisemites. Today Muslims are victims of this slander as well.

The internet is filled with claims that Muslims rape women. The website close to President Donald Trump, Breitbart, is no exception to that. Breitbart often claims that Muslim men are sexual perverts that just want to rape women.

Milo Yiannopoulos, senior editor at Breitbart, stated;

Women will suffer terrible sexual atrocities at the hands of Muslims, but they will survive these encounters most of the time.  Muslims want to violate women, not kill them.”

A lie that is often repeated will be accepted as the “Truth” by many in the end. So too with the lies of Breitbart.”Muslim Rape Crisis“, “Muslim Rape Gang Leader“, “Muslim Gang Rapists are Springing Up Everywhere“, “Islamic Rape Gangs“, “Muslim Child Rape“, etc etc…

Jewish and Muslim “Rape-culture”

By now you might ask whether a Muslim has ever raped a woman? Of course there are individual Muslim rapists, as there are Jewish rapists, rapists among Trump supporters, among farmers, Americans, Christians, Russians, carpenters and stamp collectors.  But if you claim that Muslims, Jews, Trump supporters or Christians  are rapists you are spreading a dangerous lie. You are implying that ALL are criminals.

According to Breitbart there is a “Muslim Rape Culture.” The Nazis spread the same lies about Jews in the 30’s, as Breitbart does today in respect to Muslims, and claimed that there was such a thing as “Jewish Rape Culture.” The German magazine Der Sturmer was especially famous for spreading these kinds of slanders.

In the picture below, from Der Sturmer,  you can see the satanic Jewish snake that is raping a woman, and in the background you can see the Talmud.

Antisemitism Germany 5

The Nazis claimed that the Jewish Talmud allowed marriages between adult men and children. It was claimed that Jews were pedophiles and that it had its origin in the religion. If you wonder where the myth that all Muslims are pedophiles comes from, or slanders about the prophet Mohammad and Aisha, you should look at the antisemitic roots of these slanders.

Antisemitism

“Jewish Defamation of the Blood,” that is the headline of this issue of Der Sturmer. In the bottom of the page it says that “The Jews are our disgrace”.

streicher11

The Nazis took real rape, committed by individuals that happened to be Jews, mixed it with lies and fabricated stories about “rape.” The example below is from Der Sturmer 1927. According to the article, an American Jew raped a German woman in Ohio. “Defamation of the Race in America” is the headline. The implied message is that “all Jews are like that.”

By claiming that Jews were rapists and by giving “evidence” about this the Nazis whipped up hatred against Jews in Germany. Truth was replaced by “alternative facts.”

193438vc3a5ldtc3a4kt

In the Nuremberg trials after World War 2 it was established that the lie that a “Jewish Rape Culture” existed was one of the crimes against humanity the Nazis committed. In Nuremberg this quote from Der Sturmer 1933 was put forward as one of the evidences of the Nazi crimes.

“One single cohabitation of a Jew with an Aryan woman is sufficient to poison her blood forever. Together with the alien albumen she has absorbed the alien soul…. Now we know why the Jew uses every artifice of seduction in order to ravish German girls at as early an age as possible; why the Jewish doctor rapes his patients while they were under anaesthetic. He wants the German girl and the German woman to absorb the alien sperm of the Jew. She is never again to bear German children… The author and abettor of such action is the Jew. He has been aware of the secrets of the race question for centuries, and therefore plans systematically the annihilation of the nations which are superior to him. Science and authorities are his instruments for the enforcing of pseudo-science and the concealment of truth.”(M-20).

But are Muslims rapists?

Of course no. The question is stupid. Are all Christian rapists? Are Americans rapists?

The lie is easy to expose. They claim that all people belonging to a group are guilty of real or invented crimes that a few persons in the group might, or might not, have committed. That is hatred, that is racism!

      Huh?

      He did? I guess they had a falling out, and that’s probably why he hates Muslims so much (stupid reason to hate a whole community of people, but I guess it’s a reason atleast).

    • As I said, Muslim women can work, but it’s CHARITY, not an obligation. The obligation is with the man.

      In an ideal Islamic society, women have a choice. Being FORCED to work, even though I don’t want to, doesn’t feel like autonomy to me.

    • Heather Rose

      Maintenance, as you call it, comes with a cost – autonomy. But, as a Westerner, I am more individualistic than communal? It sounds like a control issue, & whoever controls the purse strings is in control & not subject to the charity or goodwill of others. It’s complex. No doubt!

    • Viredae

      For a good primer on the PROPER way to interpret Hadith (something ISIS seems more than happy to ignore), Jonathan AC Brown is an excellent resource:

  • No, I’m definitely NOT saying there is “gender equality” in Islamic law. That is a modern Western concept, and one which I reject.

    Men and women are not exactly the same, and therefore do not have exactly the same rights and responsibilities.

    For example, in Islam, a woman has a RIGHT to maintenance. A man has a RESPONSIBILITY to provide maintenance. That is not equality. If a woman works, it is considered charity, whereas a man who works is fulfilling his obligation to his family. I don’t see any way to frame that as “gender equality.”

    Personally, I never wanted to be herded into cubical prison. I was, of course, because I live in the feminist-designed West. I don’t feel this burden is a “privilege.” When it comes to having work to earn an income, I don’t want to “gender equality.” I want the privilege granted to women under Islamic doctrine.
