True Colors

Earlier this week, in New York City, two radical Muslims, who were financed by ISIS, tried to commit a massive terrorist attack by throwing two homemade bombs into a crowd of protestors outside of Gracie Mansion, and the Muslim mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, showed his true colors by refusing speak out against Islamic inspired terrorist attacks. He didn’t even acknowledge that the terrorist attack was committed by radical Muslims. He condemned “white supremacy” of the protesters. He condemned “Islamophobia”. He even condemned violence, but he did not condemn Islamic terrorism by name. The only reason why this is a story is because of the Islamic terrorist attack. If those two Muslims did not try to blow up hundreds of people, this event would be barely a blip on the screen. It would have been a peaceful protest and a peaceful counter protest, something that happens every day in America. But the Islamic terrorists put it on the front page, and Mamdani condemned everything about the event, except the Islamic terrorism.

Mamdani refused to condemn the Islamic terrorist attack by name because he knew by doing so he would give credibility to the people who were protesting outside of his home – the people who he referred to as “white supremacists” and “Islamophobic”. These types of terrorist attacks are what those people were protesting against – the Islamic takeover of the city – where New York turns into downtown Tehran, Islamic inspired violence becomes the norm and peaceful protests are met with acts of terror. By refusing to condemn this Islamic terrorist attack, Mamdani proved that there’s no such thing as a non-violent Muslim or a peaceful Muslim. They are all either actively violent or silently supporting the violence used to advance the Islamic takeover of the world.

A non-violent Muslim would repeatedly condemn violence in the name of their religion. And that rarely happens. Zohran Mamdani had the perfect opportunity to do just that. He could have made a sharp distinction between violent Islam and nonviolent Islam if he stood up in front of New York City and the rest of our country, and condemned this Islamic terrorist attack by name. The ball was teed up for him to show this country that there are peaceful Muslims. The Muslim in our country who has the biggest platform could have made that statement that the peaceful Muslims condemn violence in the name of Islam. He could have condemned violent Islam in the same way as he condemned white supremacy and Islamophobia, but he chose not to because in the end, there’s no such thing as a non-violent Muslim. Mamdani and many other Muslims can remain peaceful because they know there are armies of Islamic terrorists around the world and holed up in America ready and willing to do the heavy lifting so they don’t have to.

All we got from Mamdani was what we always get from the terrorist sympathizers right after a terrorist attack – condemnation of white supremacy and Islamophobia. For the record, I despise white supremacists. I denounced them wholeheartedly. But the one thing I know about white supremacists, they did not commit 65,000 terrorist attacks over the last 25 years. The Muslims did that. So, every ounce of condemnation that we have towards white supremacists, we should have the same amount times one hundred for Islamicists. But we are never allowed to because the condemnation of Islamic inspired terrorism has somehow been conflated into Islamophobia which means that ironically the people calling us Islamophobic for condemning Islamic terrorism are admitting that Islam and violent terrorist attacks go hand in hand.

So, when people claim that Islam is the “religion of peace”, it is the biggest piece of gaslighting in our political discourse right now. Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of violence, of death, of destruction, of rape, and of subjugation. That is what they are. And that is who they are. Even the “peaceful” are not peaceful, because they support or overlook or ignore or defend the violent Muslims. And it is not Islamophobic to say that, it is merely looking at the reality of life as it exist today in the world.

But there’s no such thing as Islamophobia. That does not exist. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. A non-Muslim fearing Muslims is an extremely rational emotion. Since 9/11, there have been 65,000 Islamic terrorist attacks around the world. Every other religion combined have committed less than 100. 123 times in the Quran, Muslims are ordered to commit acts of violence, to kill, to rape, to enslave non-Muslims, strictly because they’re non-Muslims. So, a non-Muslim fearing a Muslim is probably the most rational emotion a human being can have.

We need more fear of Islam, not less. After 9/11, in response to the question of why did this happen, we were told that the Muslims were at war with us, even if we didn’t think we were at war with them. In light of our attacks on Iran last week, many people have asked, why did we start a war in Iran? And the answer is simple; we didn’t start this war. This war has been going on for 47 years; we just have not been fighting it. The Ayatollah Khomeini had been leading chants of “death to America“ for the last 47 years, and they have been pursuing nuclear weapons for decades. Their plan was very clear – get their hands on nuclear weapons so they can attack Israel and the United States with them. And that’s one of the reasons why they’ve aligned themselves with Russia and China – two nuclear power who are our geo-political foes who will protect them.

So, even if we do not think that we were not a war with the Muslims, the Muslims are perpetually at war with us. And this war is fought on many different fronts. It’s fought in the battlefields like in Iran; it’s fought in terrorist attacks that have been committed over and over again against the West; it’s fought in classrooms in the West; it’s fought in the culture in the West; it’s fought at the ballot box; it’s fought everywhere. This is an ongoing war that attacks every front of the West. It’s relentless. They’re never going to stop. We’re always going to have to fight them. There will never be peace because the Muslims do not believe in coexistence. The Muslims can only have peace after every non-Muslim has been destroyed.

They use the same tactics that the devil uses to defeat us. The Muslims don’t plan to take over the West in one fell swoop, just as the devil doesn’t plan on taking over the world in one fell swoop. He does it incrementally. He does it by putting so much pressure on us, causing us to incrementally compromise who we are, what we believe in and what we stand for. The devil doesn’t ask us to commit every sin every moment of our lives all the time. He asks us to commit one sin. And then one sin becomes two sins. And then two sins become three, and then four, and then five and so on and so forth.

The Islamic takeover of the West will be incremental. Get us to say that “Islam is the religion of peace”. Get us to accept that lie. Get us to repeat that lie. On the surface, it’s a harmless lie. But that harmless lie turns into bringing in millions of Muslims into our country who hate us and our culture; and that turns into electing an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas Muslim mayor of New York City; and that turns into having a mayor of New York City condemning a peaceful pro-American protest, while completely ignoring an Islamic inspired terrorist attack at the same event; and before we know it, we will have an anti-American, pro-terrorist Muslim in the White House who will convince us that the best thing for world peace is to give the radical Muslim countries a full arsenal of nuclear weapons and if you’re against it, you must be Islamophobic. And when hundreds of ICBM’s are screaming at us, the far-left media stenographers who ignored every warning sign for decades, will ask, ‘I wonder how it came to this?’ And they will conclude before they are incinerated, ‘it must be Trump’s fault.’
