KATIE HOPKINS: British hypocrisy is rife and rank. Stop the little baby jihad!

It is a fact that Assad is not threatening us. Assad, being an Alewite, a minority in his own country, protected the Syrian minorities that ISIL  (sunni Muslims) enslaves and murders. The regime of Hussein Obama wanted to turn the whole region into a sunni-wahabi dominated  nightmare. The Obama plan failed in Libya, in Egypt and in Tunisia. Ignorant western gov’ts misled by the U.S. support that, which is disastrous as it can lead to a world war between the superpowers.

KATIE HOPKINS: Assad is a monster but all the pictures of dead children in the world won’t change the fact that opposing him has only given us ISIS, chaos and the very real prospect of WW3

Stop with the pictures from Aleppo of small babies buried under rubble. Quit posting tiny faces, punctuated by shrapnel. No more images of crying children, made grey by the debris of what used to be their house. (Most of these pictures are doctored. They are using dust as makeup in another form of Pallywood.)
Not because I am afraid of the truth of war. I am old enough and ugly enough to know war is not polite or pretty.
I don’t want to see these pictures from Aleppo because they tell half a tale, lies, just as much of the coverage of the Israeli – Gaza conflict….

Enough now.

Stop with the pictures from Aleppo of small babies buried under rubble. Quit posting tiny faces, punctuated by shrapnel. No more images of crying children, made grey by the debris of what used to be their house.

Not because I am afraid of the truth of war. I am old enough and ugly enough to know war is not polite or pretty.

I don’t want to see these pictures from Aleppo because they tell half a tale, just as much of the coverage of the Israeli – Gaza conflict in 2014 only told one side of the story.

Emergency teams at work in Aleppo this week: Since the conflict erupted with anti-government protests in 2011, 300,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict

During Operation Strong Edge to stop rocket fire from Gaza into Israel, we were fed a consistent diet of pictures of children being hurt in by Israeli bombs in Palestine. Children hurt in schools. Children bombed in hospitals.

No mention of the fact Hamas were launching rockets from the roofs of these buildings using kids as human shield.

Just as in Palestine, it is bonkers to imagine we can’t imagine another side to the Syrian conflict too. Do you imagine children aren’t being hurt by the rebel forces? By ISIS insurgents?

Do you not sit and question why mothers have not used a recent week long ceasefire to get their children out of harm’s way?

MuBro Operative Huma Abedin Cries Her Heart Out

Pamela Geller:

I have written and warned about Huma Abedin since 2007. Long time readers know exactly who and what she is – so yes, everybody dance now. Hoisted with their own petard, that hoax Weiner beard marriage. She’s not crying for Hillary she is crying for the lost caliphate dream. Up in smoke.

We. Dodged. A. Bullet.

Watch this video and then smile broadly.

 HUMA BREAKS DOWN AND WEEPS OPENLY AS SHE RETURNS TO CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS WHERE SHE AND HER AIDES RAN DOOMED BID TO ELECT HILLARY CLINTON

DAILYMAIL.COM

11 NOVEMBER 2016:

  • Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin wept in the street as she approached the failed campaign’s headquarters in Brooklyn
  • The FBI investigation into her pervert estranged husband Anthony Weiner is being cited as one of the reasons for her boss losing – it led to the Clinton email investigation being re-opened
  • It is unclear what Abedin, 40, will do now that her boss’s political career is over; she has never worked for anyone else

The caliphate was her purpose in life. She is now exposed as an Islamic mole and normally her career would be over. But in the U.S. of A. you never know which way the political wind blows.

  • Abedin made the phonecall to Trump’s aide Kellyann Conway in which Clinton conceded to the President-elect – minutes after her cmapaign chairman had suggested there would be no concession
  • She declared her marriage to serial sexter Weiner over when he sent sexual picture of himself in bed alongside their son to a woman in her 40s – then DailyMail.com revealed his sexts to a girl, 15

Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin wept openly in the street on Friday as she returned to the place where the Democratic candidate’s campaign was fought – and lost.

Abedin looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders as she visited the campaign headquarters of the failed presidential candidate – after her own stumbles and her husband’s sexting habits helped contribute to Clinton’s historic defeat.

Abedin ventured out of her Manhattan apartment and went to the office three days after President-elect Donald Trump shocked the world by defeating Clinton.

She approached the tall building with stunning views which had until Tuesday been filled with staff an volunteers carrying a bag and a purse.

The pain and emotion of the situation were clearly visible on the face of the long-time loyalist, despite the dark large-frame sunglasses that covered her eyes.

Huma Fires Back at Trump: ‘I’m A Proud Muslim’
by Naja Rayne, PEOPLE
.
Flashback:
.
Donald Trump revealed his radical plan on Monday to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S., and Hillary Clinton’s vice chair, Huma Abedin is taking him head on.
“I’m a proud Muslim – but you don’t have to share my faith to share my disgust,” Abedin wrote in an email to supporters. “Trump wants to literally write racism into our law books.”
.
I would also like to share my disgust with our readers, Huma. I am disgusted by a Mohammedan mole who made a stellar career engaged in a lesbian relationship with Shrillary, only to report back to Soddy Barbaria. I am even more disgusted by your filthy concept of Darura (necessity, where the ends justify the means) which made you marry a useful idiot Jew,  Anthony Weiner,  your beard, with whom you even produced a child as cover for the cause. No Huma, your race is of no interest to us. But you are a traitor, an infil-traitor, and as such, we want to see you brought to justice.

These ‘Visitors’ Are Trying To Rearrange The Furniture

Plot to bomb Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate is foiled after Syrian teen ISIS supporter posing as an asylum seeker is arrested
  • Police say Isis supporter, 19, also considered bombing the Reichstag
  • Officials said he joined Islamic State in his Syrian home village in 2013 
  • Travelled to Germany claiming to be an asylum seeker in summer 2015
  • Marked down the number of tourist buses to maximise death, police say
  • He was arrested in March and authorities have just released information  

Authorities in Germany say a bogus Syrian asylum seeker arrested in March this year was plotting a bomb attack at the Brandenburg Gate – the biggest tourist draw in the capital Berlin.

He had marked down the number of tourist buses at several places to maximise death and injury to innocents, said prosecutors.

The 19-year-old Isis supporter was also allegedly considering bombing the nearby Reichstag, the seat of German government, and the Alexanderplatz shopping precinct in East Berlin.

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) released the information about the man identified only as Shaas al-M. on Thursday.

Officials say he also acted as a recruiter for Isis and a contact for other would-be terrorists before he was arrested in March.

He allegedly recruited at least one person who left the country to fight with the terrorists.

Hijab Tugging Tale Turns Out To Be Bull

Muslim Woman Made Up Story About Being Attacked By Trump Supporter

Lafayette Police said the 18-year-old told investigators she made up the story about being attacked and robbed just hours after the presidential election.

lousiana-fake-attack

As stage-managed protests against Trump grow increasingly violent and the mainstream media is filled with reports of supposed attacks upon Muslims by Trump supporters, we see in this incident how the Left-propaganda media shores up its narrative. News of this faked hate crime, as you can see from the graphic, traveled all around the world. Will the report that it was faked do so as well? Of course not.

The victimhood mentality is an economic industry in itself:

Trump’s hateful rhetoric is already being carried out by his supporters — there are reports of the KKK openly celebrating in North Carolina this morning, and swastikas filled the chat box on the livestream of Hillary Clinton’s concession speech. The fear is palpable on social media from people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and especially Muslim women grappling with the question of whether it is safe to continue wearing their hijabs.

CAIR-linked Hamas top dog: Trump “deluded”

One can often judge a man by the kind of enemies he attracts. Did Hamas ever call Obama or Hillary Clinton “deluded”?

“Hamas calls Trump ‘deluded’ for his Middle East outlook,” by Yasser Okbi and Maariv Hashvua, Jerusalem Post, November 10, 2016:

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Thursday said that US President-elect Donald Trump is “deluded” if he thinks he can ignore Palestinian issues during his presidency.

Al-Qaeda: Trump victory reveals Americans’ “racism toward Muslims”

What race are Muslims again? I forget. Do converts to Islam automatically change race, or is there paperwork?

As for this story in general, the mainstream media, exposed and discredited, is running today with the line that Islamic jihadis are happy that Trump won, because it will help them convince Muslims that the U.S. is at war with Islam, which will make jihad recruitment easier. The subtext is that if we had just elected Hillary, she would continue with the programs of denial of the jihad ideology and outreach to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups that is supposed to show Muslims they’re welcome in the U.S. and need not join the jihad. What those who say this don’t tell you is that the jihad imperative is not predicated on the behavior of the Infidels: the Qur’an mandates warfare against and subjugation of Infidels, regardless of how nice they are to the Muslims.

weeping Muslims“Americans have just screwed the world yet again’: Horror and fear strikes the Muslim world as Trump wins after months of anti-Islamic rhetoric,” by Gareth Davies, Mailonline, November 9, 2016:

Who exactly is commanded to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemy?” Donald Trump or the Koranimals?

“We know he sees us as less than human”

Nora Nashawaty, a 23-year-old Syrian-American student living in Chicago, said of Trump: “We know he doesn’t want to listen to us, and we know that he sees us as less than human.”

.
She knows that? Muslims know that? On what basis? Has Trump ever said anything remotely to that effect? Of course not. She says that because Trump has proposed a temporary ban on immigration from Muslim countries, so as to keep jihad terrorists out. The alternative to this proposal is to let in jihad terrorists who will kill Americans. Imagine how she would react if she ever encountered someone who really thought she was less than human. But this rhetoric is deliberately hysterical: it is designed to intimidate people into opposing measure such as that immigration ban, on the grounds that it is tantamount to considering Muslims less than human.

“Horror & Fear”

Muslims in U.S. after Trump victory: “I fear for my Muslim family”

.
Are roving bands of Trump supporters beating up innocent, pious, hijabbed Muslimas today? Of course not. But victimhood is a prized status in twenty-first century America, and so Islamic supremacists in the United States are today playing the victim card for all it’s worth. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on mosques. A New Jersey Muslim was found guilty of murder that he tried to portray as an “Islamophobic” attack, and in 2014 in California, a Muslim was found guilty of killing his wife, after first blaming her murder on “Islamophobia.”
This kind of thing happens quite frequently. The New York Daily News reported that “a woman who told cops she was called a terrorist and slashed on her cheek in lower Manhattan on Thursday later admitted she made up the story, police said early Friday. The woman, who wore a headscarf, told authorities a blade-wielding wacko sliced open her face as she left a Manhattan cosmetology school, police sources said.”

.
And recently in Britain, the murder of a popular imam was spread far and wide as another “Islamophobic hate crime” – until his killer also was found to be a Muslim. The Mirror reported that the imam “was targeted because he had made efforts to turn youngsters away from radical Islam.”

.
According to The Detroit News, a Muslim woman, Saida Chatti, was “charged with making a false police report after she allegedly fabricated a plot to blow up Dearborn Fordson High School to retaliate against the November terrorist attacks in Paris….Police say Chatti called Dearborn investigators Nov. 19, six days after Islamic extremists killed 130 people in Paris.”

.
And similarly in Britain, a Muslim woman was “fined for lying to police about being attacked for wearing a hijab. The 18-year-old student, known only as Miss Choudhury, said she was violently shoved from behind and punched in the face by a man in Birmingham city centre 10 days after the atrocities in the French capital on November 13.”

.
The agenda in all this is insidious: Trump has proposed genuine initiatives to curb jihad terror. In response, Islamic advocacy groups and activists are pretending to be Jews in Nazi Germany. The intended effect will be to stymie all attempts to stop jihad terror, because they result in a “backlash” against innocent Muslims. To avoid that “backlash,” we’re just supposed to lie down and die.

‘Why elections are bad for democracy’

The sneering response to Trump’s victory reveals exactly why he won

Brendan O’Neill @ Spectator

If you want to know why Trump won, just look at the response to his winning. The lofty contempt for ‘low information’ Americans. The barely concealed disgust for the rednecks and cretins of ‘flyover’ America who are apparently racist and misogynistic and homophobic. The haughty sneering at the vulgar, moneyed American political system and how it has allowed a wealthy candidate to poison the little people’s mushy, malleable minds. The suggestion that American women, more than 40 per cent of whom are thought to have voted for Trump, suffer from internalised misogyny: that is, they don’t know their own minds, the poor dears. The hysterical, borderline apocalyptic claims that the world is now infernally screwed because ‘our candidate’, the good, pure person, didn’t get in.

This response to Trump’s victory reveals why Trump was victorious. Because those who do politics these days — the political establishment, the media, the academy, the celeb set — are so contemptuous of ordinary people, so hateful of the herd, so convinced that the mass of society cannot be trusted to make political decisions, and now those ordinary people have given their response to such top-down sneering and prejudice.

Oh, the irony of observers denouncing Middle America as a seething hotbed of hatred even as they hatefully libel it a dumb and ugly mob. Having turned America’s ‘left behind’ into the butt of every clever East Coast joke, and the target of every handwringing newspaper article about America’s dark heart and its strange, Bible-toting inhabitants, the political and cultural establishment can’t now be surprised that so many of those people have turned around and said… well, it begins with F and ends with U.

The respectable set’s allergy to Trump is fundamentally an allergy to the idea of democracy itself. To them, Trump’s rise confirms the folly of asking the ignorant, the everyday, the non-subscribers to the New York Times, to decide on important political matters. They’re explicit about this now. In the run-up to election day, big-name commentators wondered out loud if democracy is all it’s cracked up to be. Trump’s ascendancy showed we need better checks and balances on ‘the passions of the mob’, said Andrew Sullivan. We should ‘cool and restrain [these] temporary populist passions’, he said, and refuse to allow ‘feeling, emotion’ to override ‘reasoned deliberation’. The little folks only feel and wail, you see, and it’s down to the grown-ups in the system to think coolly on their behalf.
