Just as our schools and universities poison our children with Marxist woke "progressivism," so our Mosques poison their followers with hate and jihadi motivations. There is a point at which the religion that mosques teach becomes treason. They must be surveilled and those encouraging jihad--no, it is not "inward struggle"--closed down and the perpetrating imams jailed for hate crimes and treason.
While there is a term and concept, jihad al-akhbar which refers to spiritual self-mastery, that’s not, as you note, the only or relevant meaning of jihad for radical Islam.
At what point does the nation start to think about reasonable but effective ways to combat jihadi motivations?
Deportation and only allowing US-born Imams in mosques. The Imams know that Islam won't hold if Muslims are allowed to sample the advantages of the West without religious input.
How could we stipulate where imans must not be from without violating First Amendment rights? Maybe we can only regulate mosque leadership on a case by case basis? What do you think?
Thanks Stuart. I'm not an American, so 1st Amendment Rights don't pop up in my mind as readily as they should. My only other suggestion is that Imams should submit their sermons for pre-approval. After all, Hollywood was/is censored - mainly on sexual content, which could be generalised as 'socially damaging content'. Let's hope history doesn't pronounce the West's demise from 'an excess of free speech'.
Palestinianism most certainly is.....although I've seen signs at disturbances...on TV....Zionism is a .....always have to mimic or invert Jewish tropes....if the Temple Mount is holiest to Jews...well it's Third holiest to us...so that's more important cause it's Islam.
Please don't stop repeating yourself.. Until EVERYONE in America understands what the word Caliphate means to them.. I just can't stop thinking about the Boston Marathon killers..
I just finished reading a piece in today’s GATESTONE called “How ‘Pro-Palitinians’ Protesters Actually Harm Palestinians” by Khaled Abu Toameh. There are Pro-Israel Muslims who fear for their lives. There are far, far too many university “educators and administrators” who preach anti-Israel, anti-Semitic ideology and Pro-Palestinian ideology. Chesler today and in other posts continues to hammer away at these important points; Toameh hammers away as well. My wish is that Trump’s administration will chip away at those who are “woke” and who coddle those who just aim to destroy Israel, the West and the world.
Your column reminds me of something that I observed almost fifteen years ago. I was working as a grant writer for a non-profit mental health agency at the time. The staff got the notion that in order to be "culturally sensitive" to our Muslim clientele, that fathers, husbands, brothers, etc. should be able to sit in on any counseling session involving a Muslim woman. I was horrified. How in the world could a client be frank about the problems in her life with Daddy sitting beside her? How in the world could this be considered "progressive" and helpful in providing mental health services? But once again, exceptions to established mental health practices were made for a certain religious group that would have been rejected as coercive control on the part of the family if it involved anybody else.
you have been on the front lines most of your life.....that's courage in the Jewish tradition. And to be a stand up woman for your people the Jews...that's my new year thank you to you.
Did this murderer....while on his holiday in Egypt visit Nubia....did he investigate what it's like to be Coptic in Egypt....did he look to see how Jews control Egypt too....since even lands without Jews like Poland and Egypt always have crypto Jews to contend with.
If Congress were determined to eradicate Muslim threats to American society, it would form a contemporary version of HUAC, tailored to that end --basically, the "House Anti-Jihad Committee" (HAJC).
Jihadists and their sympathizers must be purged from every public sector of American society--from government, from education, from media, from entertainment, from the armed forces, and and from mental health.
The so-called Deep State fails to undertake this because allowing jihad to fester and to spread turns out to be profitable to entrenched forces within the federal government.

Your last point is excellent.
I also agree about deportation.

Start by recognizing that Islam is not a religion but a death cult.
Palestinianism most certainly is.....although I've seen signs at disturbances...on TV....Zionism is a .....always have to mimic or invert Jewish tropes....if the Temple Mount is holiest to Jews...well it's Third holiest to us...so that's more important cause it's Islam.
Yousef gives me hope, just as did Trump's raised fist and Fight, Fight, Fight!

Great message that must be repeated until it is heard!
Thank you Phyllis Chesler!

Nobody will listen about the murderous jihadists. Nobody listens or cares about anti semitism
Nobody cares about rape, murder, and kidnappings. There's a reason Ha Shem demands us to be a "light among nations."

In fairness, I point out that Sirhan Sirhan was born into an Christian Arab family.
Sirhan Sirhan did not kill Bobby Kennedy.. Sorry to open that can of worms.. He was a patsy, just like Oswald.. Our own CIA killed both of them..
