Obama regime censors transcript of Orlando jihadist, replaces ‘allah’ with ‘GOD’

“we can’t go around arresting people because they happen to be Muslim who visit gun shops…” –Obama AG Loretta Lynch

She sounds like she crawled out of the same sewer he did.

Lynch Says FBI Didn’t Arrest Orlando Shooter Because “He Had The Right To Be A Radical Muslim”

Speaking on ABC Sunday Morning, Attorney General Loretta Lynch defended the FBI for not anticipating the mass shooting that claimed 49 lives at an Orlando nightclub last Sunday. Among the many topics discussed after the shooting were reports that a gun shop owner notified the FBI that shooter Omar Mateen had come in and attempted to buy body armor, leading the shop owner to grow suspicious.

“Despite the circumstances that surround this tragic event, the FBI cannot and should not be blamed for what happened. They are experts at what they do, they keep this country safe 24/7, but they’re not psychic, they can’t predict things that have not yet happened,” Lynch argued. “I’m not trying to sound overly protective, but at the end of the day, despite all of their training and conditioning, the Federal Bureau of Investigation consists of ordinary human beings, not prophets and future-seeing robots.”

Update:

Can’t find a motive. What could it possibly be?

Although Mateen called himself an Islamic fighter multiple times, the FBI is looking into “other motivations” Mateen might have had when he decided to murder people in a gay nightclub.

“We’re actually looking into any potential motive,” Hopper said. “We’re not limiting ourselves to coming up with just one motive. We’re looking at a myriad of things right now….”

Loretta Lynch: Islam’s Finest PR Agent

The FBI is whitewashing the Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen’s Islamic motive: Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Sunday that the FBI would release transcripts of 911 calls that Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen made during his massacre. Lynch said that the transcript would include: … the killer’s calls [Robert Spencer in PJ Media]

Update:

Too much even for the speaker of the house, who threatened to sue Donald Trump for stopping the Islamic invasion:

House Speaker Paul Ryan called on the Obama administration Monday to “release the full, unredacted transcript” of the Orlando massacre gunman’s 911 calls, slamming the Justice Department’s censoring of all references to Islam as “preposterous.”

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Ethnic Turks of Germany, Or “We Didn’t Expect That”

The Turks were the first large group of Muslims to move into Western Europe, beginning in the early 1960s, when Turkish men were brought to Germany as Gastarbeiter (“Guest Workers”) at the time of Germany’s boom or “economic miracle.” Later, the Germans decided that because of social problems with those guest workers (single males behaving badly), they should be allowed to bring with them their wives and children, in the expectation that this would calm the Turkish males down. But now those Gastarbeiter who had originally been expected to work for some years and then return to Turkey, instead were allowed, accompanied by their families, to become permanent residents, or even, in many cases, citizens. There are now more than three million ethnic Turks in Germany, and another two million Muslims of non-Turkish origin.

The results of two recent studies of Turks in Germany (the first, by the University of Münster, is “Integration and Religion From the Viewpoint of the Turkish Germans in Germany”; the second is “German-Turkish Life and Values,” and was jointly produced by the Berlin-based INFO polling institute and the Liljeberg research firm) are cause for alarm, and will certainly surprise many; they certainly came as a surprise to those conducting the two polls (“we didn’t expect that,” said Detlef Pollack, spokesman for the “Religion and Politics” group at Münster). What they discovered is that almost half (47 per cent) of the ethnic Turks polled said that following their “religious dogmas” – that is, the dictates of Islam – was “more important” to them than “obeying the laws of the land in which I live,” especially if they believed the German laws were in any way incompatible with Islam. Still more disturbing, one-third of the Muslims queried said that they yearned to “live in the society” of the times of the Prophet Muhammad – in other words, to erase the last 1400 years of cultural and intellectual progress in the West.

On the Labor candidate who thought Hizb ut Tahrir wasn’t “extremist”

Andrew Bolt

A small set-back in the mainstreaming of hard-line Islam:

A FEDERAL Labor candidate has been revealed to have close ties with Islamic extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Christian Kunde, Labor’s candidate for the NSW seat of Farrer, … last night resigned after The Daily Telegraph made inquiries into his background.

Labor candidate Christian Kunde quits over links to radical Islamic group

Christian Kunde declared himself a friend of the group’s controversial spokesman…Share

Labor leader Bill Shorten was reported to be furious that Mr Kunde’s links to the firebrand senior spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia, Uthman Badar, had not been disclosed during the preselection process…

Mr Badar was banned in 2014 from delivering a lecture at the Opera House entitled “Honour Killings Are Morally Justified” after widespread outrage.

Mr Kunde attended several events with Mr Badar and vigorously defended attacks against him and claims that he supported terrorism.

“He has been variously branded a ‘supporter of terrorism’ as well as an ‘extremist’ and a ‘fundamentalist’,” Mr Kunde posted in support in 2014 after attending a rally with Mr Badar.

“Disappointingly, there have been few calls — if any, aside from this one — to support Uthman against this barrage of modern ad hominem.”…

The resignation is less than a week after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was embarrassed after it was revealed homophobic cleric Sheik Shady Alsuleiman was allowed to attend a dinner he hosted.

Under Islamic law, homosexuals must be put to death. This is not the view of one “homophobic cleric”, that is Islam 101. (SY)

Labor must have thought Kunde’s views were fine, given the taxpayer-funded ABC published them gladly two years ago:

Uthman… has been variously branded a “supporter of terrorism,” as well as an “extremist” and a “fundamentalist.” Disappointingly, there have been few calls – if any, aside from this one – to support Uthman against this barrage of modern ad hominem….

At this point, I should say that I know Uthman Badar personally. He is a brilliant economics graduate, who won the Premier’s Award for all round achievement in his Higher School Certificate. Moreover, he is a husband, father, trusted friend and cricket enthusiast. I would trust him with the guardianship of my own child. He is also deeply religious Muslim.

Uthman Badar, the Hizb ut Tahrir spokesman, is neither an “extremist” or “fundamentalist”?

In fact, Badar is spokesman for a group whose Australian head, Sheik Wahwah, has preached Jew hatred:

THE top Australian cleric of extremist Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir has ramped up his hate speech in a rant referring to Jews as who have “corrupted the world” and will “pay for blood with blood”…. Continue reading The age of the kumbaya clowns

WHAT ARE 49 DEATHS COMPARED TO THIS?

Tim Blair:

The real tragedy of the Orlando nightclub massacre:

“I just don’t get it,” said Muhammad, a 17-year-old junior at Abraham Lincoln High School in Coney Island, Brooklyn, who immigrated from Pakistan with his family in 2014. “Islam is all about peace. In Ramadan, we don’t even curse. You’re not supposed to do anything bad.”

Another three unrepresentive Muslims charged

Muslim immigration into secular and multi-faith western democracies is proving to be very dangerous and expensive:

Belgium:

Belgian prosecutors have charged three men with terror offences following overnight raids that took place amid heightened security in Belgium and France due to the Euro 2016 soccer tournament.

Three months after Islamist bombers killed 32 people in Brussels, police searched dozens of houses across the country and arrested 12 people the night before Belgium’s Euro 2016 game against Ireland on Saturday.

Nine of them were released after questioning but three Belgian nationals identified as 27-year-old Samir C., 40-year-old Moustapha B., and 29-year-old Jawad B., were charged with “having attempted to commit a terrorist murder and for participation in the activities of a terrorist group”, the federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

Some media reports said the suspects had planned attacks against fans watching the Euro 2016 games in Brussels, and had possibly been targeting Saturday afternoon’s Belgium vs Ireland match.

In Islam, there are no “lone wolves”

“You don’t defeat terrorism by taking away our guns. You defeat terrorism by using our guns,” – Ted Cruz.

Why the ‘Lone-Wolf’ Terrorist is a Myth

Paul Sperry writes in the NYPost:

President Obama says don’t worry, the Orlando terrorist was just another “lone actor” operating in isolation, unconnected to any larger group of supporters. In fact, these so-called “lone wolves” are running in packs, and suggesting otherwise gives the public a false sense of security.

Yet Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson echoed Obama, saying Omar Mateen was “self-radicalized” without any religious, ideological or operational support from friends, family or others in the Muslim community.

“What we do know at this point is it appears this was a case of self-radicalization,” Johnson said. “He does not appear to have been part of any group.”

A more accurate picture is that Mateen, an Afghan-American, was part of a disturbingly large Muslim family of sympathizers, supporters and even co-conspirators.

For starters, his wife could face criminal charges in the attack on the gay Orlando nightclub, the deadliest act of terrorism in the US since 9/11. Noor Zahi Salman, who wed Mateen in 2011, reportedly told the FBI she knew about her husband’s planned attack and even drove him to the site of the massacre as part of a scouting operation. She also is said to have helped him case the Disney Springs shopping complex. What’s more, Salman allegedly was with Mateen when he bought ammo and a holster used in the attack.

Prosecutors have convened a grand jury to present evidence against Salman, a Palestinian immigrant, who ultimately could be indicted as an accessory to the murders of 49 people and the attempted murders of 53 others. Possible other charges include failing to report a terrorist attack and lying to federal agents.

It appears the seeds of Mateen’s hatred were planted at home.

His Afghan immigrant father, who founded a nonprofit group to support the Taliban, preached gays should be punished. In a video Seddique Mir Mateen posted on the Web, he expresses gratitude toward the Afghan Taliban, who stone homosexuals to death, calling them “our warrior brothers.”

Muhammad’s imaginary Night Journey on a winged donkey

Reading the Qur’an during Ramadan 15: Juz Subhana Alladhi

by Robert Spencer

Muhammad’s famous Night Journey (Isra and Miraj) is the basis of the Islamic claim to Jerusalem as an Islamic holy city. The only thing the Qur’an has to say about it is this the first verse of sura 17, which says that Allah took Muhammad from “the Sacred Mosque” in Mecca “to the farthest [al-aqsa] Mosque.” There was no mosque in Jerusalem at this time (if the traditional chronology regarding the Qur’an is to be believed), so the “farthest” mosque probably wasn’t really the one that now bears that name in Jerusalem, but Islamic tradition is firm that this mosque is in Jerusalem.

Muhammad’s vision of this journey was as dramatic as his initial encounter with Gabriel. According to Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad described the vision to one of the Muslims as beginning “while I was lying in Al-Hatim or Al-Hijr,” that is, an area in Mecca opposite the Ka’bah, identified by Islamic tradition as the burial place of Hagar and Ishmael, when “Gabriel came and stirred me with his foot.” Soon after that “someone came to me and cut my body open from here to here” — and he gestured from his throat to his pubic area. The one who had come to him, Muhammad continued, “then took out my heart. Then a golden tray full of Belief was brought to me and my heart was washed and was filled (with Belief) and then returned to its original place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me.”

This was the Buraq, which Muhammad further described as “an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule, who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of vision.” It was, he said, “half mule, half donkey, with wings on its sides with which it propelled its feet.”

“When I came up to mount him,” Muhammad reported according to Ibn Ishaq, “he shied. Gabriel placed his hand on its mane and said, ‘Are you not ashamed, a Buraq, to behave in this way? By God, none more honorable before God than Muhammad has ever ridden you before.’ The animal was so ashamed that he broke out into a sweat and stood still so that I could mount him.”

“Our” ABC: from too few to worry about to too many to resist

Savva, Tingle, Kenny: submitting to the hate-preachers

Andrew Bolt

Unbelievable. From denial to appeasement.

First, we warn that Islam preaches hate. We’re told by the ABC establishment this is false.

Then, we show that Islamic preachers do preach hate. We’re told by the ABC establishment that they are just unrepresentative Muslims.

Now, we show that the president of the Australian National Imam’s Council, Sheikh Shady Al-Suleiman, in on-line sermons has vilified Jews, called on God to help “destroy the enemies of Islam”, declared the punishment for adulterers “is stoning to death”, damned Christmas parties as “worship of Satan” and accused gays of “spreading all these diseases” through “evil actions that bring evil outcomes to our society”.

So now the ABC/media Left switches from denial and excuses to appeasement – if not surrender.

Witness this astonishing exchange on the ABC’s Insiders this morning, discussing Sheikh Shady’s attendance as an honored guest at the Prime Minister’s end-of-Ramadan meal:

Nikki Savva: Labor has to deal with the same kind of people that Malcolm Turnbull has to deal with if we are to show, you know, that we have links into the Muslim community. And while this imam is offensive and his views are unacceptable, nevertheless both sides have had contact.

Laura Tingle: He’s got an official position.

Nikki Savva: An official position so he can’t be avoided or isolated….

Mark Kenny: Apparently this guy is regarded by the Government and AFP (Australian Federal Police) and others as important in their deradicalisation dialogue strategy with the Islamic community. And they still regard him as that…. I don’t think this Shady Sheikh would have been the only person with odious views about homosexuals at this thing, and that’s one of the other reasons I think that the parties, the Opposition needs to be a little bit measured in the way it sees this…

Barrie Cassidy: It’s not the only religion with these sorts of views.

That is a despicable low blow, even for this blathering dolt. (SY)

From too few to worry about to too many to resist. Blink of an eye.

UPDATE

Five weeks ago:

Malcolm Turnbull had quietly had a Greens candidate, Lin Hatfield Dodds, made one of the deputy secretaries of his Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, in charge of his social policy.

Last week:

When asked by Macquarie Radio if he regretted inviting Sheikh Alsuleiman to dinner, Mr Turnbull said: “I do.” …

Mr Turnbull said he had spoken with the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, which had compiled the guest list for Thursday’s event.

Waleed Aly once more excuses Islam for an Islamist slaughter

Andrew Bolt

I have detailed how Waleed Aly repeatedly omits or denies the role of Islam in Islamist terrorism.

For that impiety I have been savaged by the state broadcaster, the ABC.

ABC presenter Raphael Epstein misrepresented my argument to accuse me of licensing racism.

Most astonishing was the attack on me from the ABC’s religion editor, former Uniting Church minister Scott Stephens, who damned me as “mad”, “lunatic”, “maniacal” and even “idolatrous” for criticising Islam and Aly, illustrated in the piece wearing Christ’s crown of thorns. The then ABC head praised this litany of abuse as ”scholarly”.

That intellectually dishonest and dangerous evasion continues even after the Orlando massacre, with Aly once more aided by disciple Stephens and your taxpayer-funded ABC.

Michael Smith explains:

Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens present a taxpayer funded show on ABC Radio National… Last week The Minefield set out to answer this lofty question: “What is a ‘moral’ response to Orlando?”

Firstly a synopsis of what that model moral response from Aly and his mate did not include. Naming the shooter, naming his motivation, naming Islam, acknowledging the victims. A moral response has nothing to do with Islam because according to the celebrity Muslim Aly the terror attack itself had nothing to do with Islam.

Aly’s moral response to Orlando? Get rid of freedom, not Islam.

“Freedom (is one of those narratives that) doesn’t work any more” he said…

Turncoat’s Reset Button Explodes

Turnbull minister praised Sheikh Shady as “important resetting point”

Andrew Bolt

Our politicians cover up for Islam.

Check, for instance, how the Turnbull Government first told us Sheik Shady Al-Suleiman was a moderate preacher who represented an “important resetting point”, but now claims he’s just some lone extremist who should not “define the views of all 500,000 Muslims”.

Sheikh Shady was last December promoted by Turnbull’s then Assistant Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, as a moderate we should listen to:

(Concetta Fierravanti-Wells is an utterly corrupt shill for Islam. She is stuffed with falsehood and petrodollars. She also stabbed Tony Abbott in the back).

.
Simplistic calls for “revolution”, “change” or “reform” [of Islam] fail to take into account these complexities, especially the lack of hierarchy and authority. A more realistic and achievable approach lies in ensuring imans preach a more modern and moderate interpretation of the Koran.

While some may feel a public flogging of the Grand Mufti, Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, may have served their own political ends, he does not represent or speak for all Muslims in Australia. He is elected by the Australian National Imams Council, which brings together about 200 largely Sunni imams. The election of Shady Alsuleiman, our first Australian-born imam as ANIC’s president is an important resetting point.

Sheikh Shady is an “important resetting point”?

In fact, his sermons, as recorded in his on-line videos, vilify Jews, call on God to help “destroy the enemies of Islam”, declare the punishment for adulterers “is stoning to death”, damn Christmas parties as “worship of Satan” and accuse gays of “spreading all these diseases” through “evil actions that bring evil outcomes to our society”.

And now that this has been reported, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull how tells us Sheik Shady is just some lone and unrepresentative voice:

It is also wrong to seek to define the views of all 500,000 Muslims because of the opinions expressed by one person, by one cleric.

In fact, Shady is the elected president of the Australian National Imams Council. I suspect he knows Islam and our Muslim community better than does Turnbull.

It is idiotic to claim these views are only held by sheikh Shady. These views reflect mainstream Islam, basic Islam 101. This is what Islam is. What part of that is it you don’t understand?
