Islamic Supremacist Propaganda to Choose a Lie

Jesus slave of Islam

Islamic organizations in America spew propaganda about ‘Islam is peace’ to deceive American non-Muslims (who Muslims address as ‘kafir’) all the time. You need to realize that Islamic holy writings such as the Quran, Hadith and Sira address kafir in a negative light.

Now if you are faithful to another religion other than Islam it would be normal to address the Islamic religion in a negative light. For instance I am a Christian and I view Islam as an Anti-Christ religion even if it is politically incorrect as proscribed by Islamic Apologists, Diversity and Multiculturalist Leftists.

The difference between my beliefs on non-Christians and Islam’s beliefs on non-Muslims is the difference between spiritual warfare and physical-corporeal warfare.

The Biblical plan for non-Christians is forgiveness, prayer and non-violence against the enemies of Christ. Now I realize history shows that those that call themselves Christians as a political force have not followed the guidelines of the Biblical plan. God have mercy on those ill gotten decisions.

ON THE OTHER HAND

The Quranic-Hadith-Sira plan for non-Muslims is to present the option of willing conversion, barring that – submitting to Islam in absolute honor above the religious beliefs adhered to OR die for rejecting submission.

With this in mind you need to read this post at the Shoebat Foundation that reports that Pamela Geller’s counter-ad campaign against a local CAIR group’s Muslim propaganda that Islam is peace is makingGeller showing book - SIOA headway.

CAIR has been advertising on public busses and billboards that Islam is peace and that the concept of jihad is primarily a spiritual inner struggle to overcome sin or evil. The truth is the concept of jihad is a struggle to convert the humanity of the whole earth to the despotism and submission of Allah as developed by the false prophet Mohammed. Thus Islam’s history is a picture of Islamic command to violence against non-Muslims in conquest and the punishment of Muslims that do not tow the Sharia Law line of living a Muslim lifestyle.

What’s YOUR Jihad, Ahmed Rehab? Pamela Geller getting warmer

March 14, 2013

“Imam Jamal Said, who I know personally to be a great American faith leader and not a radical Imam, as the Wall Street Journal falsely stated.” – Ahmed Rehab on O’Reilly Factor, 8/6/08

We’ll get to Jamal Said’s ties to Hamas and other Muslim fundamentalist groups shortly but first…

The “My Jihad” PR campaign launched by Ahmed Rehab, the Executive Director for CAIR Chicago appears to be backfiring in a major way, thanks to the efforts of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs. This can be known by looking at how effective Geller’s ads, which use Rehab’s use of the word, seem to expose the stealth nature of Jihad.

Another key indicator is the fact that Rehab is now on the defensive and having to fight Geller instead of building on any momentum he had hoped to create from the propaganda found in his ads.


There is an advertising war being fought here — not over soda or car brands but over the true meaning of the word “jihad.”

Backing a continuing effort that has featured billboards on the sides of Chicago buses, the local chapter of a national Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has been promoting a nonviolent meaning of the word — “to struggle” — that applies to everyday life.


Supporters say jihad is a spiritual concept that has been misused by extremists and inaccurately linked to terrorism, and they are determined to reclaim that definition with the ad campaign, called My Jihad.

“My jihad is to stay fit despite my busy schedule,” says a woman in a head scarf lifting weights in an ad that started running on buses in December. “What’s yours?”

However, Geller seems to be getting traction, in part, because Rehab’s ads seem to ask those who see them, to take it on faith that Jihad is what the ads say it is. Conversely, Geller’s ads use facts about how murderous jihadists have interpreted the word. On top of that, the contrast is all visual.

Mimicking the My Jihad ads, they feature photos and quotations from figures like Osama bin Laden and Faisal Shahzad, who tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square in 2010. “Killing Jews is worship that draws us closer to Allah,” says one ad, attributing the quotation to a Hamas television station. They end with the statement: “That’s his jihad. What’s yours?”

The leader of the second ad campaign, Pamela Geller, executive director of the pro-Israel group American Freedom Defense Initiative, has criticized the original My Jihad ads as a “whitewashed version” of an idea that has been used to justify violent attacks around the world.

“The fact that some Muslims don’t associate jihad with violence does not cancel out that so many do,” Ms. Geller said. “I will go toe to toe in this matter because it’s an attempt to disarm the American people.”

Of course, compounding all of this in Geller’s favor is the ties Rehab’s group has to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as the ties Rehab himself has to an Imam by the name of Jamal Said, the prayer leader at the Bridgeview mosque in Chicago. Said’s mosque was visited by Abdullah Azzam, who was the spiritual mentor of none other than Osama bin Laden.

Not only that but Walid knew Jamal Said quite well during his time in Chicago and said the following in an interview and explained that relationship while expressing frustration for the willingness of the city’s mayor not to raise any objections:

“Abdullah Azzam was the colleague of my mentor, Jamal Said… They had a ribbon cutting celebration in Chicago in which the mayor of Chicago (Richard M. Daly) was present. The Muslim Society there – Jamal Said – was donating a park for the community and there was the mayor like nothing was happening.” – Walid Shoebat (Unsung Davids p. 303)

So, does this mean that we’re supposed to believe Rehab – a guy who has vouched for a colleague of bin Laden’s mentor – instead of Geller?

What’s your Jihad, Ahmed?

Walid's great grandfather, Abdullah Ali Awad-Allah, was also a fighter and close associate of both Abdul Qader and Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who led the Palestinians against Israel. Walid lived through and witnessed Israel’s Six Day War while living in Jericho. As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel. After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities. In 1993, Walid studied the Tanach (Jewish Bible) in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy. Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews and Israel to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause of Israel to tens of thousands of people throughout the world: churches and synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Another Huma Abedin defender with an interesting background?

Amina Chaudary
Amina Chaudary

The writer at WalidShoebat.com known as Administrator writes a good exposé about one of the defenders of Huma Abedin. He (or she) examines Amina Chaudary as an author that may be one of those Huma associations that bring questions to her ability to remain loyal to the U.S. government due to the hatred of Radical Islam for the American Constitution. Too many defenders of Huma Abedin are trying to defend her by raising the issue of bigotry and hatred of Islam when the case is a too close association with those who hate America enough to persuade Huma Abedin to divulge classified information that will be used against the USA.

Would Huma Abedin sell-out America for Allah and Mohammed? I have no idea; however because of her associations I am convinced the potential exists and if the potential exists an investigation must be required to see if Huma Abedin passes classified information to a host of Radical Islamists including Huma’s mother Saleha Mahmood Abedin.

Another Huma Abedin defender with an interesting background?

By Admin
 AUGUST 19, 2012

The list of individuals who have publicly defended Huma Abedin – willfully blind Republican politicians like John McCain, John Boehner, Scott Brown, Marco Rubio, Jim Sensenbrenner, and Mike Simspson notwithstanding – may be telling us something all by itself.

In the meantime, another defender of Huma’s honor is a woman named Amina Chaudary, who wrote a piece last week called, “We’re all Huma Abedins”. At the bottom of this post, we’ll explain Chaudary’s relevance (stick with us – it’s worth it).

Let’s take a look at Chaudary’s piece, via Post Noon:

While Abedin’s credentials and visibility have afforded her support from all corners of Washington, the guilt-by-association tactics come at a serious price. They create a baseless and unfounded assumption that the loyalty of anyone working in the American government from a Muslim background somehow has a desire to further a political objective from a foreign entity. This is unfair as it is un-American, but is now par for the course when it comes to how American Muslims are viewed in the public space. The reality is that many American Muslims, particularly those born and bred here, may have no ties at all to any foreign political or social movement. This is about the fact that Islam, like previously for Judaism or ethnic affiliations like the Japanese or Chinese, is perceived as inherently un-American or anti-American.

There are scores of American Muslims working in Washington as public servants making significant and important contributions to our country. Average Americans may be surprised that many of them had actually been elected to office, while others have been appointed and some have been selected for their expertise and skills in addressing the many problems our nation faces. None of them, including Huma Abedin, deserve to have their loyalty questioned based on random or distant associations that carry no meaning and likely could disqualify any Muslim American aspiring for public office.

Where do we begin? As has been the case with all those who have come to Huma’s aid in response to the letters penned by Reps. Bachmann, et. al., a faulty premise is used to craft a ridiculous narrative. That premise is that Huma is being unjustly attacked because she’s Muslim. The truth is that the concerns raised have to do not with Abedin’s religion but with her associations, which are SUPPOSED to matter in issues related to granting someone a security clearance, especially at the level where Huma currently works (Hillary’s closest aid).

Moreover, Huma’s most ardent defenders also seem to leave clues behind that actually make them appear as less than good character references. For example, have a look at what Chaudary writes in attempt to prove her point:

While this is the first time such accusations have been leveled against Abedin in a public forum, it is not the first time guilt-by-association tactics have scuttled the promising political careers of American Muslims. Some may recall in the early days of the Obama campaign Mazen Asbahi, an American Muslim lawyer, was appointed by the campaign to undertake outreach to the American Muslim community. Within days, Asbahi was forced to resign due to guilt-by-association relationships with certain individuals, none of whom was ever convicted or indicted for criminal activity in a court of law. The Obama administration feared a distraction, and Asbahi was forced to resign. He, and others like him, would never be able to garner the widespread support for Abedin. Perhaps this is why demonizing American Muslim politicians has become all too common. For the rest of us, gaining widespread support and defense of high-ranking officials in similar scenarios is unheard of.

Mazen Asbahi? Chaudary went there?

Pssst. Amina, not a good idea.

For starters, Asbahi was jettisoned once it became learned that he had ties to a radical Imam from Chicago named Jamal Said, who has distinct ties to Hamas. The Wall Street Journal reported that Asbahi served on a Board with Said. Not only that, but when Walid was a Muslim Brotherhood activist in Chicago, Said was his trainer; Walid confirms Said’s nefarious agenda with his firsthand account.

By pointing to the Asbahi case, Chaudary introduces another name into the discussion – Ahmed Rehab, the Executive Director for the Chicago office of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Like CAIR, Said was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

Incidentally, Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly interviewed Rehab in August of 2008, shortly after Asbahi resigned. Note how Rehab actually defends Jamal Said in addition to Asbahi:



Obviously, Rehab knows about Asbahi’s relationship with Said. In fact, he actually defends it by praising Said as “a great American faith leader”.

As for Chaudary, are we supposed to believe that she doesn’t know about Asbahi’s connection to Jamal Said? Doesn’t care? Thinks it’s a good thing? Does she hold the same opinion of Said that Rehab does? If so, that is a person Abedin may not want in her corner.

Again, Chaudary conflates two completely separate things and isn’t challenged for doing so; being denied a security clearance / job in a Presidential administration because of associations is not even remotely similar to being convicted of a crime for having certain associations. The former is completely legitimate; the latter is unjust. Yet, Chaudary wants you to believe Huma Abedin is a victim of guilt by association. Huma’s not been proven guilty but it’s looking more and more like she should be disqualified from holding the position of Deputy Chief of Staff for the Secretary of State. It’s an apples and oranges argument on the part of Chaudary and every Huma defender that media outlets – on both the left and the right – continue to let go.

As for why Amina Chaudary’s defense of Huma Abedin might be a point of interest…

As we learned a few days ago, Huma served on the Board of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at George Washington University (GWU) as recently as August of 1997. As far back as January of 1999, a woman named Amina Chaudary is listed as that chapter’s Vice-President (her name remained on the Board until at least June of 2000). Is the Amina Chaudary who served on the same Board at MSA GWU (that Huma did one year earlier) the same Amina Chaudary that is defending Huma today? Do the two women know each other? If so, did they meet through the MSA?


Here again, is the screen shot of the MSA GWU Board from August of 1997. Notice the last name of the President at the time – Aisha Chaudary. Do Aisha and Amina know each other? Are they related? After all, we ARE talking about the same MSA GWU Board that welcomed Anwar al-Awlaki onto its Board as a “Chaplain” in late 2001.

Such associations do matter when we’re talking about national security.
