<p><em>Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl.</em></p>
<p>—Che Guevara, <em>Motorcycle Diaries</em></p>
<p>President Obama’s <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/obamas-bailout-for-communist-dictators/" target="_blank">recent move</a> to cozy up to Communist Cuba is a crucially  important moment not just diplomatically, but as a moral one in regards to human rights, dignity and justice. As we witness a Radical-in-Chief throwing <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/obamas-bailout-for-communist-dictators/">an economic lifeline</a> to a barbaric tyranny, it is our duty and obligation to shine a light on the dark tragedy of the Cuban Gulag &#8212; and to reflect on the unspeakable suffering that Cubans have endured under Castro&#8217;s fascistic regime.</p>
<p>Until July 26, 2008, Fidel Castro had ruled Cuba with an iron grip for nearly five decades. On that July date in 2008, he stood to the side because of health problems and made his brother, Raul, de facto ruler. Raul officially replaced his brother as dictator on February 24, 2008; the regime has remained just as totalitarian as before and can, for obvious reasons, continue to be regarded and labelled as “Fidel Castro’s” regime.</p>
<p>Having seized power on January 1, 1959, Fidel Castro followed the tradition of Vladimir Lenin and immediately turned his country into a slave camp. Ever since, Cuba has distinguished itself as one of the most monstrous human-rights abusers in the world.</p>
<p>Half a million human beings have passed through Cuba’s Gulag. Since Cuba’s total population is only around eleven million, that gives Castro’s despotism the highest political incarceration rate per capita on earth. There have been more than fifteen thousand executions by firing squad. Torture has been institutionalized; myriad human-rights organizations have documented the regime’s use of electric shock, dark coffin-sized isolation cells, and beatings to punish “anti-socialist elements.” The Castro regime’s barbarity is best epitomized by the Camilo Cienfuegos plan, the program of horrors followed in the forced-labor camp on the Isle of Pines. Forced to work almost naked, prisoners were made to cut grass with their teeth and to sit in latrine trenches for long periods of time. Torture is routine.[i]</p>
<p>The horrifying experience of Armando Valladares, a Cuban poet who endured twenty-two years of torture and imprisonment for merely raising the issue of freedom, is a testament to the regime’s barbarity. Valladares’s memoir, <em>Against All Hope</em>, serves as Cuba’s version of Solzhenitsyn’s <em>Gulag Archipelago. </em>Valladares recounts how prisoners were beaten with bayonets, electric cables, and truncheons. He tells how he and other prisoners were forced to take “baths” in human feces and urine.[ii]</p>
<p>Typical of the horror in Castro’s Gulag was the experience of Roberto López Chávez, one of Valladares’s prison friends. When López went on a hunger strike to protest the abuses in the prison, the guards withheld water from him until he became delirious, twisting on the floor and begging for something to drink. The guards then urinated in his mouth. He died the next day.[iii]</p>
<p>Since Castro’s death cult, like other leftist ideologies, believes that human blood purifies the earth—and since manifestations of grief affirm the reality of <em>the individual</em>, and thus are anathema to the totality—mourning for the departed became taboo. Thus, just like Mao’s China and Pol Pot’s Cambodia,[iv] so too Castro’s Cuba warned family members of murdered dissidents not to cry at their funerals.[v]</p>
<p>The Castro regime also has a long, grotesque record of torturing and murdering Americans. During the Vietnam War, Castro sent some of his henchmen to run the “Cuban Program” at the Cu Loc POW camp in Hanoi, which became known as “the Zoo.” Its primary objective was to determine how much physical and psychological agony a human being could withstand. The Cubans selected American POWs as their guinea pigs. A Cuban nicknamed “Fidel,” the main torturer at the Zoo, initiated his own personal reign of terror.[vi]</p>
<p>The ordeal of Lt. Col. Earl Cobeil, an F-105 pilot, illustrates the Nazi-like nature of the experiment. Among Fidel’s torture techniques were beatings and whippings over every part of his victim’s body, without remission.[vii] Former POW John Hubbell describes the scene as Fidel forced Cobeil into the cell of fellow POW Col. Jack Bomar:</p>
<blockquote><p> The man [Cobeil] could barely walk; he shuffled slowly, painfully. His clothes were torn to shreds. He was bleeding everywhere, terribly swollen, and a dirty, yellowish black and purple from head to toe. The man’s head was down; he made no attempt to look at anyone. . . . He stood unmoving, his head down. Fidel smashed a fist into the man’s face, driving him against the wall. Then he was brought to the center of the room and made to get down onto his knees. Screaming in rage, Fidel took a length of black rubber hose from a guard and lashed it as hard as he could into the man’s face. The prisoner did not react; he did not cry out or even blink an eye. His failure to react seemed to fuel Fidel’s rage and again he whipped the rubber hose across the man’s face. . . . Again and again and again, a dozen times, Fidel smashed the man’s face with the hose. Not once did the fearsome abuse elicit the slightest response from the prisoner. . . . His body was ripped and torn everywhere; hell cuffs appeared almost to have severed the wrists, strap marks still wound around the arms all the way to the shoulders, slivers of bamboo were embedded in the bloodied shins and there were what appeared to be tread marks from the hose across the chest, back, and legs.[viii]</p></blockquote>
<p>Earl Cobeil died as a result of Fidel’s torture.</p>
<p>Maj. James Kasler was another of Fidel’s victims, although he survived the treatment:</p>
<blockquote><p> He [Fidel] deprived Kasler of water, wired his thumbs together, and flogged him until his “buttocks, lower back, and legs hung in shreds.” During one barbaric stretch he turned Cedric [another torturer] loose for three days with a rubber whip. . . . the PW [POW] was in a semi-coma and bleeding profusely with a ruptured eardrum, fractured rib, his face swollen and teeth broken so that he could not open his mouth, and his leg re-injured from attackers repeatedly kicking it.[ix]</p></blockquote>
<p>The reign of terror against American POWs in Vietnam was just a reflection of Castro’s treatment of his own people. In addition to physical hardships even for those who don’t wind up in prison or labor camp, Cuba&#8217;s police state has denied Cubans any freedom at all. Cubans do not have the right to travel out of their country. They do not have the right of free association or the right to form political parties, independent unions, or religious or cultural organizations. The regime has outlawed free expression; it has consistently censored publications, radio, television, and film. There is a Committee for the Defense of the Cuban Revolution (CDR) for every single city block and every agricultural production unit. The CDR’s purpose is to monitor the affairs of every family and to report anything suspicious. A Cuban’s entire life is spent under the surveillance of his CDR, which controls everything from his food rations to his employment to his use of free time. A vicious racism against blacks accompanies this repression. In pre-Castro Cuba, blacks enjoyed upward social mobility and served in many government positions. In Castro’s Cuba, the jail population is 80 percent black, while the government hierarchy is 100 percent white.[x]</p>
<p>Cuban Communism follows Lenin’s and Stalin’s idea of “equality,” wherein members of the <em>nomenklatura</em> live like millionaires while ordinary Cubans live in utter poverty. The shelves in the stores are empty, and food is tightly rationed for the average citizen. Teachers and doctors drive taxis or work as waiters to support their families. Under the system of tourist apartheid, ordinary Cubans are not allowed inside the hotels designated for tourists and party functionaries. There are, of course, police inside every such hotel to arrest any unauthorized Cuban citizen who dares to enter.</p>
<p>The $5-billion-a-year Soviet subsidy that just barely kept the Cuban economy afloat during the Cold War is long gone. And notwithstanding the $110 billion that the Soviets pumped in over the decades, Cuba has become one of the poorest nations in the world. Its sugar, tobacco, and cattle industries were all major sources of exports in the pre-Castro era. Castro destroyed them all.[xi] Because of his belief in “socialism or death,” Cuba is now a beggar nation. Even Haitian refugees avoid Cuba.</p>
<p>Denied the right to vote under Castro, Cubans have voted with their feet. Pre-Castro Cuba had the highest per-capita immigration rate in the Western hemisphere. Under Castro, approximately two million Cuban citizens (out of eleven million) have escaped their country. Many have done so by floating on rafts or inner tubes in shark-infested waters. An estimated fifty thousand to eighty-seven thousand have lost their lives.[xii]</p>
<p>Not content to trust the sharks, Castro has sent helicopters to drop sandbags onto the rafts of would-be escapees, or just to gun them all down. Epitomizing this barbarity was the Tugboat Massacre of July 13, 1994, in which Castro ordered Cuban patrol boats to kill forty-one unarmed Cuban civilians—ten of them children—who were using an old wooden tugboat in their attempt to flee Cuba.[xiii]</p>
<p>These are the heart-breaking stories, and only a few among many, of the Cuban people who have suffered excruciating pain and agony under an evil tyranny that now, as it stands on its last legs, is having <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/obamas-bailout-for-communist-dictators/">its life extended</a> by an American president.</p>
<p>It is food for thought.</p>

<p><strong> FP:</strong> Nadra Enzi, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>I would like to speak to you today about “Jihad Crow” in America, a phenomenon in this nation that involves Arab hatred of and discrimination against American blacks (and American black Muslims) in America.</p>
<p>But before we get to that I would like to talk to you about your background and some of the things you are doing today.</p>
<p>You were once a Muslim, correct? Let’s start with your story.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/nadra2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-243244 size-medium" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/nadra2-319x350.jpg" alt="nadra" width="319" height="350" /></a><strong>Nadra Enzi </strong></p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>I grew up in a United Methodist household, the child of school teachers. Unfortunately, the church in my hometown was still as divided as the public sphere. The black Church I saw was a passive participant in ongoing bias, so Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali spoke to me as representatives of vocal opposition to bias <em>and</em> crime within the black community.</p>
<p>By this time, crack was hitting the inner city and black Muslims were very visible in the war against drug dealers who were making various areas free firing zones during disputes &#8212; killing infants, little old ladies and many other innocent lives.</p>
<p>Again, the black Church, liberalized to become an apologist for thugs and little more than a Democrat GOTV (<em>Get Out the Vote</em>) platform, was still largely MIA or worse: making excuses for those I&#8217;d call, &#8220;chocolate Klansmen&#8221; years later. I launched my citizen on patrol and private security activities anxious to ally myself with uncompromised black opponents of inner city crime.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Who are you describing exactly as &#8220;chocolate Klansmen&#8221; and why?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi:</strong> Chocolate Klansmen are the post-crack predators and gangs who kill black (and other) victims with a brutality once considered the province of the classic, violent white supremacist Klan. It&#8217;s a way of shocking liberal enablers out of their defense of thugs who&#8217;ve destroyed everything that giants like Medgar Evers or Dr. King died to establish. They&#8217;re the center piece of my &#8220;remote control theory&#8221; argument, which states that the inner city is freely chosen, not directed by invisible white villains hiding behind a tree.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Were you ever a member of the Nation of Islam or some other black Muslim group?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi:</strong> I was never a Nation of Islam member. I was considered &#8220;too independent&#8221; in my thinking by the local minister. Translation: I didn&#8217;t think all whites were devils and I didn&#8217;t consider Farrakhan as black America&#8217;s divine leader.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Share with us some of your narrative about being a Muslim and how and why you finally left Islam.</p>
<p><strong>Enzi:</strong> For me, being a Muslim was separating myself from passive participants in hometown racism and a rejection of how liberal the black church and mainstream had become. I&#8217;ve always been an Old Testament type and saw (and still see) too much buck passing regarding personal responsibility and inner city crime, single motherhood households and the urban death culture which is now hip-hop.</p>
<p>I left Islam a while ago, because I found folks and movements who opposed the liberalized church as much as I do. Until we recognize that secular-socialism simply infiltrated the American Judeo-Christian continuum, we&#8217;ll continue see many traditional men, black and otherwise, opt out.</p>
<p>Also, as a lifelong anti-crime person, I didn&#8217;t endorse the silence of many American black Muslims on Islamic-themed inner city/prison gangs and terrorism.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Tell us about <em>Project 21</em> and <em>American Brothers Against Crime</em> and what these groups are about.</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>Project 21 is a group of American black spokespersons for the conservative national <em>Center for Public Policy Analysis</em>. It offers challenging alternative views on current events and policies from black voices outside the DNC and even Republican establishment echo chambers.<em> </em></p>
<p><em>American Brothers Against Crime</em> (ABC) is my collective of anti-crime and security enthusiasts who unapologetically reject the notion that <em>any</em> zip code, from the Hood to the Heartland, should be held hostage to violent criminals. We promote ending the Cold War between black men and police via &#8220;Brothers and Badges Together,&#8221; where we work to change anti-cop culture in the inner city by teaming black male civilians and police officers. ABC stands apart from typical, &#8220;pro-crime&#8221; groups that blame others for violent crime in the black community. Not all of the &#8220;brothers&#8221; are black, or even men.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What do you think made you a black American who doesn’t instinctively jump to “hating whitey” or blaming racism, society etc. for problems in the black community? What influenced you in your youth/life to emerge as a person not vulnerable to progressive myths?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>As an Old Testament person, I believe in governing myself in accordance with the law, thus negating a need for others &#8212; law enforcement, corrections, prosecution, etc. &#8212; to govern me instead. Since I believe fully in my God-given moral and intellectual ability, I&#8217;m not going to sink to becoming a felon and then beg white leftists to &#8220;save&#8221; me with programs which only benefit them, not their black client base.  That&#8217;s acting like a slave, doing wrong and then crying about it. The black Left is beneath me, quite frankly. In 2014, I can&#8217;t embrace their doctrine of mediocrity on hand while ritually blaming others.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>So let’s get to “Jihad Crow.”</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>&#8220;Jihad Crow&#8221; is my term for Arab racism against black people here and abroad. Some Arabs don&#8217;t even consider American black Muslims to be Muslims and refuse to even return the traditional Muslim greeting of &#8220;Asalaam Alakum&#8221; (God&#8217;s peace be upon you). They open stores in the inner city and sell Islamically-prohibited goods like pork products, alcohol, lottery tickets and even use the stores as centers for illegal activity like EBT fraud; fencing stolen merchandise and drug dealing.</p>
<p>Black leftist activists ignore how these stores rarely hire black employees, despite complaints about the same directed toward businesses owned by other ethnicities. A YouTube commentator, David Carroll, has a campaign challenging black leftist men to protest how some Arab store owners prostitute neighborhood women in exchange for free food items. Jihad Crow is Jim Crow with an Arab accent and no foreseeable expiration date. Even Louis Farrakhan has commented on the racism in Mecca, the Muslim holy city.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Can you share a story of your own personal experience with Jihad Crow or a friend’s experience?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>I&#8217;ve seen Jihad Crow at work when Arab clerks take pains not to touch my hand when giving change, refuse to donate to worthy community causes while making 100% profit off of black patrons and politically always recruiting us to support their causes while always being MIA in return when solicited to support an issue important to us. A Muslim friend who&#8217;s an American black man tells me the Arabs at his mosque move away from him while kneeling in prayer and won&#8217;t give him a key to open the place of worship, something commonplace among Arab parishioners.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Leftists pretend they are against racism. If they are so much against it, where is their concern about and protests against Jihad Crow?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>They feel that darker skinned people can&#8217;t be bigoted. Plus, so long as conservatives are spun, by Left and even Right sometimes, as enemies of Muslims, terrorists and otherwise, expect the Left not to utter a mumbling word in opposition. Leftists also overlook how heads would roll like bowling balls if their jihadi buddies get their hands on gay rights and other activists considered anathema to extremist Islam.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> So then what would you say about the Left in this regard?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>The Left is the last frontier of white supremacy. They&#8217;ve taken traditional values out of the modern black male identity, demonized black, traditional marriage, use our felons as a cash cow and our vote as a foot stool. The only free black person is one who&#8217;s a sock puppet for their ideology.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> You called the Oklahoma beheader Alton Nolen, a “confused Muslim brother” in a recent column of yours. Kindly explain your perspective.</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>Most black Muslims, even apparently “orthodox” ones like Nolen, don&#8217;t run around beheading people. Confused Muslim brothers think they need to act like Arab (or even African) extremists or support the same. Prison inmates are a potential source of confused Muslim brothers, as their alienation from society and felon status make them prime candidates for targeting by extremists. For all his anti-Semitism and anti-white rhetoric, Farrakhan and his followers have yet to engage in or promote any criminal activity. Their apocalyptic vision, while provocative, has yet to cross the line into illegality or terrorism. While some would consider members of the Nation of Islam as confused, the confusion I reference literally costs people their heads or has stupid American blacks falling into terror plots orchestrated by the FBI. The confused category also includes any American black who would go abroad to fight for an Islamist group.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Your thoughts on the behavior of black men who are Muslims who try to imitate radical Muslim Arabs?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>&#8220;Confused Muslim brothers.&#8221; There&#8217;s a very real racial divide between many American black Muslims and Arabs. Black men taking on Arab extremism are as sick as those trying to join the KKK as reserve members.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Where are Black Muslims in America denouncing Nolen? Why the silence?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>Ambivalence and pride. Some despise his action while others feel they shouldn&#8217;t have to explain themselves to white people. But here is my position: the same way black activists demanded decent whites to oppose White Citizens Councils, the Klan and Jim Crow, the same way anti-Islamists have a justifiable right to expect not only black Muslims, but members of our leftist Christian majority, to oppose a confused Muslim brother like Nolen.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What needs to be done to bring more light to the racism and injustice of Jihad Crow?</p>
<p><strong>Enzi: </strong>Conservative, and unbiased black observers across the political spectrum, need to hold Arab racists accountable the same way we focus on white ones. Sunshine is the best disinfectant, so interviews like this offer insight into a dimension of discrimination few discuss openly.</p>
<p><strong> FP:</strong> Nadra Enzi, thank you so much for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Business Director Roozbeh Farahanipour scores a victory against the Mullahs in Los Angeles.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/roozbeh.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-241779" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/roozbeh.jpg" alt="roozbeh" width="225" height="225" /></a>FrontPage Interview’s guest today is Roozbeh Farahanipour, a former Iranian journalist, democracy activist and political prisoner in Iran. He is the head of the Marze Por Gohar resistance movement (MPG), an Iranian opposition movement seeking the establishment of a secular republic in Iran. He was a student leader in the 1999 uprising, just one year after creating MPG. He was recently elected for the third term to his seat as Business Director of the Westwood Neighborhood Council in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>While the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) is trying to dupe the West, particularly the U.S., into lifting sanctions without making any real compromises, Farahanipour has been leading the Westwood Neighborhood Council in taking a powerful step ahead to enforce existing sanctions law under its territorial jurisdiction.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Roozbeh Farahanipour, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>Tell us a little bit about the Westwood Neighborhood Council’s September 10<sup>th</sup> ruling on Iran Sanctions.</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour:</strong>The Council passed a motion to ensure enforcement of Federal, State and Local laws on divestment and sanctions in regards to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is a motion to crack down on illegal business, and an important step in keeping the neighborhood safe from IRI intelligence and terror activities under the guise of a business environment. There was a second motion which banned the Islamic Republic’s symbol as well as other regime signage and all illegal IRI advertisements.</p>
<p>And it is important to stress, Jamie, that we didn’t propose new sanctions; we are simply asking that <em>existing</em> Federal, State and Local sanctions laws be enforced.  It’s already the law, and we don’t want illegal activity in our neighborhood.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Did any other organizations support your motion?</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour: </strong>Yes, the WestwoodCommunity Council came out in support, as well as various community leaders. Most importantly, California State Senator Joel Anderson flew in from Sacramento to speak in support of the motions. He authored California’s AB221, the law that divested California taxpayer money from being invested in companies engaged with the Islamic Republic of Iran. He understands how the enforcement of the above mentioned laws enhance our security.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why is a motion like this so important in Westwood? And what would you say sets Westwood apart from the rest of Los Angeles?</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour: </strong>The Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, often nicknamed ‘Tehrangeles,’ a portion of which is officially regarded as “Persian Square” is a powerhouse of anti-Regime, and pro-Democracy activity.  Home to a massive Iranian expatriate community, Westwood was once the safe-haven of Iranian refugees fleeing the Islamic Republic.  In recent years, many Iranian immigrants, like myself, are still in fact refugees seeking political asylum.  Sadly, however, drizzled in-between those seeking safety and a better life, are businesspeople and other individuals closely-tied to the ruling regime back in Tehran, sent here with an agenda, a goal and a mission.</p>
<p>That’s precisely why this motion is so important.  Westwood is one of the last-remaining anti-Regime fronts in the Diaspora.  The Ayatollahs saw this, recognized this, and feared this; that’s why they sent their cronies here in order to change that status quo.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Give us some examples of the illegal activity being conducted in Westwood.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/rooz1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-241780" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/rooz1-255x350.jpg" alt="rooz" width="203" height="279" /></a><strong>Farahanipour:</strong> There are numerous businesses who openly advertise &#8212; exclusively in Persian of course &#8212; that they administer official Consular and Legal services for nonexistent Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Not only is that illegal under sanctions law, but it raises questions of money-laundering and regime personnel freely roaming Los Angeles, carrying out whatever the Ayatollahs demand.</p>
<p>Furthermore, there is quite a bit of activity regarding sanctioned businesses, including the import of banned items for sale, and businesses being openly conducted with specifically sanctioned Iranian businesses, including Iran Air, the Islamic Republic’s official airline.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What would you say to those who would argue that selling tickets for Iran Air is no big deal? With the US (P5+1) and Islamic republic being in negotiations, they would allege that there is an easing up of sanctions on Iran Air and other similar Iranian businesses anyway.</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour:</strong> Iran Air is sanctioned not only by the State Department, but also by the Treasury Department for its well documented involvement in transferring weapons and ammunition to terror groups around the world. It’s an absolute myth that Iran Air is strictly a passenger/civilian airline, as it is yet another instrument for the Iran Regime’s international terror machine. It is owned by the Regime, and is utilized at the will of the Revolutionary Guards Corps. With that in mind, their ability to have sales in Los Angeles is unlawful, suspicious and concerning. Don’t forget, Iran Air doesn’t have any flights to or from the US.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Very concerning and disturbing. Is this only happening in Westwood or elsewhere in Los Angeles, and even in the U.S.?</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour:</strong> This isn’t only happening in Westwood; it is certainly happening throughout Los Angeles and Orange County south of here, and no doubt in other parts of the US and Canada within major Iranian communities. It is a big problem.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>How would you summarize your overall concern with this issue?</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour:</strong> This is first and foremost about safety and security, and upholding the rule of law in our neighborhood. We do not want Westwood becoming a breeding ground for illegal, unlawful activity.  We aren’t asking for anything more than existing laws to be enforced and upheld, and I haven’t met anyone who disagrees with that yet, unless they personally are engaged in these illegal businesses.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>The Westwood Neighborhood Council’s motion is quite a strong message to the Regime and its supporters.  Do you have another message to add?</p>
<p><strong>Farahanipour:</strong> Yes, I’d like to tell them that their front businesses, their money laundering, and their intimidation aren’t welcome here.  Their trickery, their propaganda and their attempts to sell politics under the guise of ‘culture’ will not survive here either. Westwood is the frontier for a new day in Iran. A democratic, secular and liberal Iran—nothing like the deeply oppressive, regressive and destructive regime strangling my homeland, today.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Roozbeh Farahanipour, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview and thank you for defending this nation from those who seek it harm.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why ISIS terrorist Rabie Shehada boasts that he and his comrades “love drinking blood.”]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ISIS.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-241331" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ISIS-450x253.jpg" alt="ISIS" width="290" height="163" /></a>While the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) shocks and horrifies the world with videos of mass executions and beheadings, ISIS terrorist Rabie Shehada, also known as “the Palestinian slayer,” has stepped forward to give appalled onlookers a clearer insight into the evil that inspires him and his colleagues. In a video <a href="http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/09/17/-We-love-drinking-blood-says-ISIS-vampire-.html">he recently posted online</a>, Shehada earnestly and quite proudly explained:</p>
<blockquote><p> “I swear we are a people who love death for the sake of God just as you love to live. I swear we are a people who love drinking blood. We came to slaughter you.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Let it never be said that Shehada ever suppressed his charm.</p>
<p>This particular ISIS vampire has come a long way from studying mechanical engineering at a college in Nazareth Illit in Israel. As a Muslim who clearly didn’t overlook <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/03/bible-and-quran-equally-violent">the Qur’anic command to wage war</a> on unbelievers, it’s understandable why developing refrigerators and microwaves didn’t really cut it for him when he entertained visions of his own glorious Islamic future. And so, as his Islamic fate would have it, the young engineering student <a href="http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2014/09/17/-We-love-drinking-blood-says-ISIS-vampire-.html">quit university</a> and traveled through Turkey to get to Syria to join the “moderate” rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA).</p>
<p>It appears the FSA came up a little short for Shehada in terms of what he thought a true Jihadi should be doing with his time. So he quickly moved on to bigger and brighter things: he joined the ranks of ISIS, where he adopted the a.k.a. “Abu Musaab al-Safouri,” named after the village of Safouri near Nazareth.</p>
<p>Shehada was now clearly liberated from the distracting and draining routines of developing power plants and factories; Allah had now bestowed upon him the blessing of being able to spend his days in the productive, fulfilling and cheerful way that every <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/03/bible-and-quran-equally-violent">good and obedient Muslim</a> is obligated to do by the Qur’an: executing and beheading the enemies of Islam and reveling in their blood.</p>
<p>While many observers might be mystified and startled by the pronouncements of Jihadi warriors such as Rabie Shehada, those who are knowledgeable of the practices of Jihad and the ideological foundations on which they rest are well aware that the behavior of someone like Shehada is a completely normal and everyday thing in the world of Islamic warfare.</p>
<p>To grasp the reality of Shehada’s Islamic odyssey, one must begin with the understanding that Islamic jihad has a unique religious component, sharing with secular totalitarianisms (Stalin, Mao, Khmer Rouge, etc.) the impulse to create an earthly paradise (through Sharia) by washing the slate clean with human blood. Working towards enforcing the kingdom of Allah on earth, the greatest obligation of the Jihadist, like that of the believer in Communism and Nazism, is to submit his will to the deity, to kill “the enemy” and, if the opportunity ideally arises, to give his life for the deity. Martyrdom and suicide become the favored expressions of this submission and of the radical desire for perfection. (It is precisely this ingredient that has so <a href="http://pjmedia.com/blog/how-vittorio-arrigoni-went-to-gaza-hoping-to-die/?singlepage=true">attracted the Western Left to Jihad</a>, a phenomenon explained in my book, <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/frontpagemag-com/video-jamie-glazov-discusses-his-battle-on-hannity-against-the-unholy-alliance/">United in Hate</a>). In the Islamic context of Jihad, therefore, this goal and impulse logically engenders the craving for, and practise of, spilling human blood – which can also include the ritual of drinking it (while <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/moderate-islamist-free-syrian-army-commander-who-ate-heart-vows-mass-genocide/">eating the organs of the corpse</a> and inflicting all varieties of <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dawn-perlmutter/jihadist-ritual-murder-mutilation-at-the-mall/">mutilation against it</a>.)</p>
<p>Thus, when one witnesses the actions of ISIS, one witnesses the phenomenon of pure Islamic Jihad. It is a death cult; Jihad represents a craving for death. The works of Islamism’s Godfather, Sayyid Qutb (1906–1966), documents and illuminates this craving perfectly, showing how the obligation of the Jihadi is not only to take the lives of others, but also his own life, in a process that necessitates the spilling of human blood in every sphere.</p>
<p>Qutb’s massive thirty-volume commentary, <em>In the Shade of the Quran,</em> has had enormous influence on today’s Muslim warriors worldwide. For Qutb, a non-Islamic state has no right to exist. In his view, which is faithfully founded on Islamic texts and teachings, violent jihad is necessary to achieve the implementation of Islamic law worldwide, and the death of the Islamic warrior is a crucial element of this process. Qutb consistently stressed that it was necessary to submit oneself to the totality (Allah), that truth could not be reached by spiritual vehicles alone, and that violence was critical for the cause.</p>
<p>In his profound study of Qutb’s writings, Paul Berman outlines, in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0393325555/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link">Terror and Liberalism</a>, how Qutb linked truth and martyrdom and how, in so doing, he illuminated the Islamist synthesis of the totalitarian idea and the death cult. Berman writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>Qutb’s doctrine was wonderfully original and deeply Muslim, looked at from one angle; and, from another angle, merely one more version of the European totalitarian idea. And if his doctrine was recognizable, its consequences were certainly going to be predictable. Qutb’s vanguard, if such a vanguard ever mobilized itself, was going to inaugurate a rebellion—this time, a rebellion in the name of Islam, against the liberal values of the West. (Totalitarian movements always rise up in rebellion against the liberal values of the West. That is their purpose.) And rebellion was bound to end in a cult of death. For how were any of Qutb’s goals to be achieved? What could it possibly mean to treat the entire Muslim population of the world, apart from the followers of his own movement, as <em>jahili </em>barbarians who were bringing about the extermination of Islam? . . . The successes of the Islamist revolution were going to take place on the plane of the dead, or nowhere. Lived experience pronounced that sentence on the Islamist revolution—the lived experience of Europe, where each of the totalitarian movements proposed a total renovation of life, and each instead created the total renovation of death.</p></blockquote>
<p>For Jihadists like Shehada and his ISIS comrades, therefore, <em>killing is survival</em>. For pure Islam to breathe oxygen, enemies are mandatory, and Islamic warriors can only live as long as they kill. In his book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mind-Jihad-Laurent-Murawiec/dp/0521730635/ref=la_B001IU4Q9M_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1410985535&amp;sr=1-1">The Mind of Jihad</a>, the French-born strategist Laurent Murawiec explains the horror of this death cult, summarizing the ideology’s overriding theme as “I kill, therefore I am.” In his study of the Jihadist’s mindset, Murawiec writes,</p>
<blockquote><p>“[T]he means has become the end. The blood of the enemy renews the identity of the lynch mob. . . . Death is not an instrumentality—like the death of the enemy on the battlefield—it has become an end in itself.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Murawiec points out that the suicide-killing manual left behind by Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 attacks, included a provision commanding that before going on his mission, the Islamic warrior must make sure his knife is sharp: “you . . . must not discomfort your animal during the slaughter.” The animal being referred to is the non-Muslim whom the Muslim is instructed to kill. As Murawiec observes, we see here the element of human sacrifice for the sake of pleasing Allah.</p>
<p>Thus, a typical example of the importance of spilling human blood in this type of sacrifice, and which explains the rationale behind what ISIS terrorist Rabie Shoudrie is doing and boasting about, was the assassination in 1971 of Jordan’s prime minister, Wasfi al-Tell, by PLO terrorists. As al-Tell lay dying on the marble floor of the Sheraton Hotel in Cairo, one of the terrorists knelt down and began lapping up his blood (Murawiec, pp. 18-19). Murawiec cites a long sequence of such incidents of blood-worship in this Islamic venture and industry of death.</p>
<p>In the process of killing its “enemies,” this death cult, like all death cults, naturally eats its own children. This is why Islam devours Muslims along with non-Muslims &#8212; and why commentators who argue that Islamic Jihad cannot be Islamic because Muslims are also its victims have a completely ignorant (and often deliberate) misunderstanding of what Islamic Jihad really is.</p>
<p>For the Jihadist, as for his Nazi and Communist totalitarian cousins, the goal of life is not to treasure it—and definitely not to utilize it to pursue individual happiness or personal fulfillment. The goal of life is to lose it in the very act of eradicating the enemy. This is why the idea of America, and its sacred principle of “the pursuit of happiness”—embedded in the Declaration of Independence—is anathema to Islam, just as it is anathema to Nazism and Communism (as well as to the radical Left). The pursuit of happiness implies that the individual and his will matter. An individual’s pursuit of happiness, moreover, implies that the world can be accepted for what it is—and human beings can be accepted for what they are. This is a deadly violation of the totalist code, since it contradicts the necessity of destroying the world and rebuilding it. Personal happiness is betrayal. Rage is a glorious commitment to the cause.</p>
<p>This psychotic mindset explains why Jew-hatred is such an important component of Jihad, as of most other death cults. Two of the most outstanding Jewish characteristics are the love of life and the enduring struggle to survive. For Jihadists, as for Nazis and Communists, this is an egregious transgression against their faith. To Qutb, a truly “contemptible characteristic of the Jews”—as identified by the Koran—was their “craven desire to live, no matter at what price, regardless of quality, honor and dignity.”</p>
<p>It was Algerian militant Ali Benhadj who perhaps most powerfully and succinctly crystallized Islam’s central tenet of death serving to purify the earth. He stated:</p>
<blockquote><p>If faith, a belief, is not watered and irrigated by blood, it does not grow. It does not live. Principles are reinforced by sacrifices, suicide operations and martyrdom for Allah. Faith is propagated by counting up deaths every day, by adding up massacres and charnel-houses. It hardly matters if the person who has been sacrificed is no longer there. He has won. (Quoted in Berman, p.120.)</p></blockquote>
<p>Rabie Shehada’s thirst for human blood should not, therefore, be much of a surprise to anyone. The Jihadist appetite for blood has been transparently evident in the long and vicious history of Islamic Jihad, just as it was horrifyingly conspicuous on September 11, 2001, when nineteen Jihadists “won” by crashing commercial airliners into America’s heavily populated buildings. The horror of that day testified to the mind-numbing fact that when Maulana Inyadullah, a member of al-Qaeda, <a href="http://www.mrformansplanet.com/WhyArabsHateAmericaandJews.htm">bragged that</a> “the Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death,” he meant it.</p>
<p>And when Rabie Shehada brags about loving death “for the sake of God” and that his gang of Jihadi vampires is coming to slaughter us and drink our blood, he means it.</p>
<p>His threats are honest.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/sonnie2.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-240323" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/sonnie2.jpg" alt="sonnie" width="310" height="415" /></a>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Sonnie Johnson, the CEO and inspiration of <em>Change the Game</em> (<a href="http://www.ctghq.org/">ctghq.org</a>), the new website and activist program launched by the David Horowitz Freedom Center that sets out to expose the failure and racism of progressive policies and to use hip hop culture to reach constituencies previously untouched by conservative messages.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Sonnie Johnson, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>Thank you for having me. I have the feeling this will be the first of many.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>You have great intuition!</p>
<p>So let’s begin:</p>
<p>What is <em>Change the Game</em> all about and what inspired you to create it?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>I never wanted to start my own project. I wanted to bring my talent to projects that currently exist, and I tried. It wasn&#8217;t long before I realized if I wanted to do something different, if I really wanted to change the conversation, I was going to have to do it myself.</p>
<p>Plus, there are a lot of black conservatives holding on by a thread. They are one Bundy Ranch, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown story away from leaving the conservative movement. We&#8217;ve lost some really great advocates already. They say they don&#8217;t have a home on the conservative side of the aisle. I wanted to provide that home.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why has hip hop and its constituency been so insulated from conservative messages? Why have so many conservatives been insulated from hip hop?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>Excellent question. If both sides asked themselves and answered honestly, we could actually have an honest conversation on race and culture.</p>
<p>In my very first &#8220;political&#8221; speech, I did a comparison between Jay-Z and Ronald Reagan. I took quotes straight from Reagan and mirrored them to lyrics by Jay-Z. I thought I was nailing my political coffin, but I wanted people to see we are saying the same thing. Every Tea Party speech I&#8217;ve ever given has hip hop symbolism or direct quotation. When conservatives don&#8217;t know the message is coming from hip hop, I get standing ovations.</p>
<p>When talking to lovers of hip hop, I don&#8217;t focus on blacks and social conservatism. While issues of black marriage, abortion, and protection of religious rights are important to me, I understand a single mother of three is more worried about not having her lights cut off than any of those issues.</p>
<p>If I want to talk to the hip-hop generation about inflation, I talk about my recent trip to the grocery store. If I want to talk about energy independence, I focus on the price of gas and the rise in electricity bills. If I want to talk about limited government, I talk about the heavy police presence and heavy taxation through the ticketing process.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t believe in utopia. We may never get on the same page and speak the exact same language. Damn it, that&#8217;s the purpose of a republic. We don&#8217;t have to like the same music, the same movies, or arrive at our principles by taking the same road. We just have to respect each other enough to fight for our freedom. After that, you do you and I&#8217;ll do me.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why has there been a one-party monopoly of black voters for so long? Why has this monopoly occurred and what are its consequences?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>If I were your average black conservative, this is where I would start to blame the Democrats. I would regurgitate how Democrats formed the KKK, started Jim Crow laws, and are the real racists. And I would be telling the truth, but I would still be highly ineffective in changing any minds in the black community.</p>
<p>There is a one-party monopoly in the black community because the Republicans don&#8217;t show up. They spend more money on polls and studies about engagement than actual engagement. When approached with fresh ideas (yes, I&#8217;m talking about you, Reince), they continue with the same tired policies of the past.</p>
<p>In this 2014 cycle, there is no real black engagement because the polls are calling for a Republican sweep. They don&#8217;t need the black vote. Having said that, I see you, Paul Ryan and Rand Paul. If the Republicans don&#8217;t want to listen to me, then they should at least follow the moves of some of their own.</p>
<p>Progressives were able to destroy the Republican legacy on civil rights issues because the Republicans weren&#8217;t there to defend it. Your average Republican starts every conversation with &#8220;Reagan said&#8230;,&#8221; like Reagan started the Republican Party. They only claim the party of Lincoln when trying to dismiss calls of racism.</p>
<p>Most Republicans don&#8217;t know the history of the Republican Party. They know the history of Ronald Reagan. How do you sell and defend a legacy you don&#8217;t know?</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> To be sure, progressives wear the mantle of caring about black Americans, but the historical record and empirical reality tell us quite a different and disturbing tale about the earthly incarnations of their ideas. Expand for us on what progressive policies have actually done to minorities and the poor in the inner city.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>Wow, that question makes me want to give a highly historical answer. Or maybe biblical.</p>
<p>What I do best is make it about the people because those are the real victims of progressivism. Growing up, I never knew I was poor. I had three meals a day, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and a loving family unit. My mother made me go to church and had very high expectation for my education. I didn&#8217;t know we lived below the poverty line.</p>
<p>Things start to change when people start telling you what you can&#8217;t do. Your parents say no to the latest trends due to financial restraints. Teachers tell you what you can&#8217;t do because of societal constraints. Your pastor tells you what you can&#8217;t do due to biblical restraints. Your race tells you what you can&#8217;t achieve due to racial constraints. More and more laws tell you what you can&#8217;t do because of criminal constraints. And no access to capital, training and financial education. What is left?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when you get, &#8220;F&#8211;k the world!&#8221; As Wale would say, &#8220;If a young n&#8212;er can&#8217;t dribble, can&#8217;t rap, can&#8217;t act&#8230;he ain&#8217;t got no options.&#8221; That&#8217;s what progressivism breeds: a society of zero options. They want you to turn to government, but blacks, especially black males, have refused. They would rather enter the drug game and risk their life in the streets or behind bars than living under the thumb of government dependency.</p>
<p>People think young black males sell drugs for the money. No. They need the money to escape their current situation. They want to live a life not held down by the constraints of progressivism. Until conservatives take a money message, a true money message of capitalism, free markets, and entrepreneurship into the inner cities, they will progressively move towards further socialization, death and destruction.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>And so now we come full circle back to <em>Change the Game</em>, because you are all about using hip hop to help pull people out of the inner city trap and prison created and enforced by progressive policies. You have noted how hip hop, including gangsta rap, represents the rediscovery of the individual and how it complements the conservative message and the American Dream. Rappers like Ice T, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, as you have pointed out, are individuals who embody the capitalist reality and message. Enlighten our audience about this reality and how it &#8220;changes the game.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>First, I love that you used the word &#8220;trap.&#8221; Hip hop created that word to describe a street corner or hustle location. We know it&#8217;s a trap. The more it became a part of our vocabulary, the more it started to include public housing as a whole. I always want to point out that progressivism built those traps. Progressives wanted blacks all in one place to create a supply of workers. Now they value blacks as a supply of voters. That&#8217;s the real trap.</p>
<p>When Dr. Dre released &#8220;The Chronic,&#8221; he was cemented in hip hop history. It will always come up in conversation about the best hip hop albums ever. Recently, Dr. Dre sold his company <em>Beats by Dre</em> for over 2 billion dollars. I&#8217;m guessing if you ask Dr. Dre about the greatest decision in his life, it would be deciding to be a businessman instead of just an artist.</p>
<p>We are constantly talking about the failing school systems in America. If you care about the issue as more than just a talking point, then understand what it means for the kids having to come up through that failing system. The progressive public school agenda tells them America is unfair because they are black. They believe the nonsense.</p>
<p>Hip hop has become a vehicle to uplift a portion of black society. In addition to the artists, there are promoters, dancers, backround singers, bloggers, reporters, bookers, stylists, makeup artists, DJs, and the list goes on on; all getting paid from hip hop. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry nationwide. It all started at neighborhood parties and out of the back of car trunks.</p>
<p>Hip hop is Capitalism 101. Find a service that needs to be filled. Produce a product. Introduce it into the marketplace. Work hard to have the best product in the market. Receive financial success. They weren&#8217;t taught the basics in school, but they had no problem figuring it out naturally.</p>
<p>Hip hop artists today have taken it a step further. They own their labels, the rights to their music, the studio where they record, a clothing line, a brand of vodka, shoes, purses, perfumes, and even water. They have broken the progressive dogma of zero options.</p>
<p>What I want to do with <em>Change the Game</em> is move that same influence and drive towards all forms of industry. Science, math, electronics, and technology are the future and we aren&#8217;t preparing our kids. While hip hop is proof capitalism works, we can&#8217;t stop at having only music, sports, and Hollywood as access points out of poverty.</p>
<p>Listening to 50 Cent say, &#8220;If I can&#8217;t do it homie, it can&#8217;t be done&#8221; while trying to find the cure to cancer; to me, that&#8217;s &#8220;changing the game.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Let’s focus in on you for a moment. Sonnie, can you share with our readers a bit of your own background and journey? Tell us about your upbringing and youth. You were also once a Democrat. How did you ultimately find yourself on the conservative side and then as someone who, as a black American dealing with the issues confronting the black community, wanted to change the game?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>I always wish I could say, &#8220;Two parent home. Stable upbringing. Move on.&#8221; Every time I tell my story people look at me with such sympathetic eyes. Like I must need a hug. No. My past didn&#8217;t break me; it made me.</p>
<p>My biological mother was addicted to drugs when I was born. She couldn&#8217;t take care of me. So, I went to live with my father. He was still running the streets and he couldn&#8217;t take care of me, either. That&#8217;s when I was given to my adoptive mother, my Angel.</p>
<p>I traveled between my mother in public housing and my father in a country house with no plumbing. I was eating government peanut butter one day and picking tomatoes off the vine the next. One night I&#8217;m going to sleep to the sound of gunshots and the next night I hear a thousand crickets at once. I had a very interesting childhood.</p>
<p>When I was 10, someone reported my mother to social services. Since I wasn&#8217;t her biological daughter, I was no longer allowed to live with my family. Everything I had ever know was taken away from me in an instant. (You know, the progressive zero options model.) My mother made me go to church, do my homework, and volunteer in the neighborhood. With my father, there were no rules, no guidelines and it didn&#8217;t take long before I started running the streets.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t stop running until I was diagnosed with Crohn&#8217;s at 17. Even then, my run became a jog; drinking, smoking, and partying all night. My illness kept me in check because I was constantly in the hospital but I had basically given up on life. Finally, I decided a scar on my stomach would be worth removing the pain and constant trips to hospital (yes, I suffered a year and a half because my vanity didn&#8217;t want a scar).</p>
<p>After six weeks of healing, I went to visit my friends, and they were right where I left them. They were all smoking, drinking, and having a good time. For the first time I thought there has to more to life than this &#8212; within 24 hours, I left Richmond. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.</p>
<p>My transition to conservatism started with another progressive zero options formula. Doctors told me for years I would never be able to get pregnant and if I did, I would never be able to carry full term. God thought differently. It&#8217;s why progressives hate Jesus and want him out of the public arena. Nothing crushes what you can&#8217;t do like believing in the great &#8220;I Am&#8221;; through the Son, all things are possible.</p>
<p>The day I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, my adoptive mother was called home to be with the Lord. That was the day my life changed. I fell on my knees and turned my life back over to God. And I promised my mother I wouldn&#8217;t try so hard to give my daughter the things I didn&#8217;t have that I would forget to give her the things I do have.</p>
<p>I had to ask myself some tough questions. How am I going to teach my daughter how to manage money when I barely know myself? How am I going to teach her about the laws of the land? Who will be her role model and what do I know about that person?</p>
<p>By the time my daughter was ready to go to school, I had given myself a stay-at-home mom education. I knew how to balance a budget and the cost of living outside your means. I understood the necessity of protecting and defend your home. All the lessons mothers learn when starting a family. But I also taught myself to run a website, web code, and some basic design. I read history, outside of the progressive context, and was introduced to Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, and Maggie Walker.</p>
<p>I started <em><a href="http://didshesaythat.com/">DidSheSayThat.com</a></em> and it&#8217;s been a hell of a ride ever since. At first, I didn&#8217;t know I was conservative. I didn&#8217;t understand what the term meant. If I didn&#8217;t seek the information, I never would have made the transition.</p>
<p>Looking at the black community, I always humble myself. I understand these lessons aren&#8217;t being taught in schools, in churches, in groups of friends or circles of acquaintances. I always remember myself at 17 and all the things I didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t hold judgment against someone&#8217;s past; especially due to a lack of information or the knowledge that the information exists. I will, however, judge harshly those that know the truth, but choose to ignore. My journey to conservatism started with a hard knock life education, that&#8217;s where <em>Change the Game</em> starts the conversation.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Booker T. Washington is a central figure in your vision, and the last person the Left wants to talk about – or say anything good about. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>In 1912, the Tuskegee Institute graduated more self-made millionaires than Harvard, Yale and Princeton combined. Booker T. Washington exposed a truth progressives don&#8217;t want you to see. Fortunes are built by doers with intellect, not intellectuals.</p>
<p>When Washington first started Tuskegee, he was surrounded by former slaves. Now that they were freed men, they believed they should no longer have to work hard. Manual labor was now beneath them. Washington told them, &#8220;Now that you are freed men, you have to work twice as hard because you are now working for yourself.&#8221; If I asked you to break down conservatism, could you do it any better with one line?</p>
<p>Booker T. Washington advocated a money message. &#8220;At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.&#8221; It&#8217;s why I skip the social issues and focus on the pocket book.</p>
<p>Booker T. Washington understood progressives and their position in racial tension:</p>
<blockquote><p>There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don&#8217;t want the patient to get well.</p></blockquote>
<p>Which is why I don&#8217;t put a focus on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. With <em>Change the Game</em>, I want to celebrate all the beauty in the hip hop culture while simultaneously trying to fix some of the issues that plague the black community. I don&#8217;t pretend blacks don&#8217;t have some legitimate grievances. The question is, do you want them solved or do you want to keep the civil rights lifetime job security in-tact?</p>
<p>But one of the greatest facts about Booker T. Washington is that he was actually born a slave. If you think about the modern civil rights movement, they are living off the souls of slavery, the lynchings of Jim Crow, and the water hoses of their parents and grandparents (not referencing those that actually suffered the abuse). They travel first class on their flight, have a car waiting at the airport and stay at a five-star hotel; all while screaming how unfair it is for the black man.</p>
<p>Booker T. Washington didn&#8217;t think about fair or unfair. He only considered results. If history repeats itself, I pray for another Booker T. Washington age in black America.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What are some of the strategies you will utilize to change the game? You have stated that one of the crucial things to do is to win hearts within the black community by talking about the issues that matter to them &#8212; in terminology that resonates with them and that they can identify with. I think we can fairly say that conservatives have been a failure in this regard up till now.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>I don&#8217;t want conservatives to come out with a rap song, &#8220;Can&#8217;t we all get along,&#8221; with a remix by Karl Rove. Actually &#8230; never mind.</p>
<p>I like Ayn Rand, so I hate contradiction in my world. I stand beside people who yell, &#8220;Protect the Constitution,&#8221; &#8220;Don&#8217;t tread on me&#8221; and &#8220;Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&#8221; Mention hip hop and they turn into progressives that would run every lyrical artist out of the country. Then these same people talk about the Left&#8217;s hypocrisy when it comes to the First Amendment. Check your own backyard first.</p>
<p>But what really pisses me off is when conservatives take a shot at hip hop but don&#8217;t want to defend their position against another conservative who likes hip hop. I&#8217;m not calling him a conservative, but Bill O&#8217;Reilly instantly pops into my head. He does a talking points memo about the &#8220;thug culture&#8221; in black America and brings on Beckel and Carville to check him where he&#8217;s wrong. Seriously? Then for a different perspective, he brings on a black progressive that dodges every question or a black conservative that agrees with his every talking point.</p>
<p>Bill O&#8217;Reilly has gotten Jessica&#8217;s Law on the books in over 45 states, but every talking point, race conversation, or serious attempt to change the focus of discussion towards healthy families, thriving communities, and a first class education falls on deaf ears. Every issue becomes an &#8220;us vs. them&#8221; battle to the death.</p>
<p>Especially with O&#8217;Reilly, everything is the fault of hip hop. I will give O&#8217;Reilly credit: He has tried to have a conversation with the hip hop community. Camron and Lupe Fiaso are the two interviews that pop into my mind, but I&#8217;m sure there have been others. But he invites them into a hostile environment where they are in a defensive mode instead of a conversation mode. They are expecting a fight with Bill O&#8217;Reilly.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll just throw this out there. Bill O&#8217;Reilly, if you want to stop wasting your breath having the same conversations and getting nowhere, maybe you should <em>Change your Game</em>.</p>
<p>BET recently ran a biopic look at hip hop in America. Obama was included in this three-part mini-series as a lover of the hip hop culture. (I&#8217;ll pause here for the right side of the aisle to insert a snide remark out loud or under their breath.) When the right thinks about hip hop culture, they think about what progressive radio has shown them. Every hip hop song isn&#8217;t about shaking your ass, pop, lock and drop it, selling drugs, or taking another human life. If you think it is, that&#8217;s why I left the pause especially for you. I&#8217;m never going to win you over and I really don&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>The easiest part about <em>Change the Game</em> is it is effortless. All I have to do is be me. I&#8217;ve a built a team around me; Kevin Daniels, Pudgy Miller, Tracy Connors, Javonni Brustow, Kira Davis, Tezlyn Figaro, Nadra Enzi and Chidike Okeem, and for them it&#8217;s effortless as well. We all care about the people more than we care about the politics or politicians. We aren&#8217;t looking at a single election or election cycle. We are in for a long-term Renaissance in black America; starting with winning the hearts of the people.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>So you gonna change the game?</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>My presence here shows God is faithful to his word. I will continue to pray for wisdom and strength, and by the Grace of God, we will <em>Change the Game</em>.</p>
<p>In Jesus&#8217; Name Amen.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Amen.</p>
<p>Sonnie Johnson, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>And thank you for changing the game &#8212; and we wish you the best in achieving it!</p>
<p><strong>Johnson: </strong>Thank you.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/rf.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-238801" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/rf-233x350.jpg" alt="rf" width="233" height="350" /></a>Frontpage Interview&#8217;s guest today is Dr. Norman Berdichevsky, an author, freelance writer, editor, researcher, translator and lecturer of history and culture for several major cruise lines. Formerly a lecturer of Hebrew at the University of Central Florida, the Theological Faculty of Aarhus University in Denmark, and the Jews’ Free School in London, as well as an experienced translator (From Hebrew and Danish to English), he is the author of six books and lives in Orlando, Florida. He is the author of the new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Hebrew-Future-Revitalized-Language/dp/0786494921/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408225941&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Norman+Berdichevsky+hebrew"><em>Modern Hebrew: The Past and Future of a Revitalized Language</em></a><em>.</em></p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Dr. Norman Berdichevsky welcome to Frontpage Interview. Let&#8217;s begin with what inspired you to write this new book.</p>
<p><strong>Berdichevsky</strong>: Thanks Jamie.</p>
<p>My knowledge of Hebrew, my experience teaching the language in the Diaspora and the eleven years I spent in Israel working as a professional translator, opened up new horizons and enabled me to participate in the resilience of spirit that Israelis feel in the face of adversity. My goal in writing this book is to reach as wide an audience as possible of both Jews and Gentiles, including those with no prior knowledge of the language, to make them more aware of the importance Hebrew has played in the forging of contemporary Israeli society and culture and its function worldwide as the new Jewish international language.</p>
<p>A dynamic nation has been created with a determined belief in a common origin, destiny and struggle with a unifying common language adapted and modernized by the only people who identified with it and its ancient homeland. Anyone wishing to understand modern Israel, its history and development towards a more inclusive society for all its people including non-Jews should be familiar with Modern Hebrew and how this language grew and changed over the past mere one hundred and thirty years through challenges and dilemmas resulting in startling achievements and new prospects.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Expand for us on the transformation of Hebrew and why this book is so important in touching on this issue.</p>
<p><strong>Berdichevsky:</strong> Few subjects have commanded the attention and provoked, fascinated, excited, and enchanted so many readers as the saga of the Zionist rebirth of Israel.  Yet in this monumental literature, relatively little space has been devoted to the epic transformation of the classical language of the Bible into Modern “Ivrit”, the national language of the State of Israel, its everyday vernacular spoken by more than  seven million people. It was grafted successfully onto an older literature and longer historical continuity than Latin or Greek and is the official language of business, research, the law, and government of the dynamic State of Israel.</p>
<p>The book explores the historical background, past and current controversies, challenges, dilemmas and prospects facing the Israeli people that stem from the choice made four generations ago to create a renewed nation in the Land of Israel with Hebrew as their national language. It is a study in the politics, linguistics and sociology of language, exploring the relationship of the Israelis with the Jewish Diaspora as well as their fellow non-Jewish citizens, the largely bilingual Arabic and Hebrew-speaking Arab population.</p>
<p>Stateside, many still equate Hebrew with its rabbinical counterpart, the purview of bar mitzvahs and synagogue prayer. In Israel, the story is different. In the 1880s, early Zionists sought to adopt a modernized version of the ancient biblical language. Most believed it couldn’t be done. Today, Israeli Hebrew has become the most successful language revitalization project in history. It is used in every realm of Israeli life.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What topics do you cover specifically?</p>
<p><strong>Berdichevsky:</strong> The book is written for those with no prior knowledge of Hebrew as a national language and colloquial vernacular. It examines some of the basic “mechanics of the language,” including the many changes that have occurred in the transition to Modern Hebrew. It analyzes how it overcame many obstacles to become a spoken vernacular and its growing prestige. It deals primarily with the social and political role of the language, the role model Modern Hebrew played for other national revivals(Welsh, Irish, Basque Maltese, Catalan, Modern Greek and Turkish). Also discussed are the dilemmas facing the language arising from the fact that Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora &#8220;don’t speak the same language,&#8221; while Israeli Arabs and Jews often do.</p>
<p>Why has Hebrew declined in the Diaspora and what are the long term consequences of Jews in Israel and the Diaspora Not Speaking the Same Language? How did Hebrew become a modern language? How did it win out over Yiddish? How different are Modern and Biblical Hebrew? What has acquisition of Hebrew meant for the Arab minority in Israel? Why has study of Modern Hebrew declined in the United States? How has the Arab Spring turmoil been reflected among the Arab minority in Israel? The book deals with all of these vital questions.</p>
<p>&#8220;Modern Hebrew&#8221; does not cover literature nor is it another biography of the pioneer founder of the movement to make Hebrew into a modern spoken language, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. It is the story of his vision and how it animated a large part of the Jewish world, gave new confidence and pride to Jewish youth during the most difficult period of modern history and infused Zionism with a dynamic cultural content.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What major updates did Zionists have to make to biblical Hebrew or the language of the Mishna?</p>
<p><strong>Berdichevsky:</strong> The language had to change radically. Biblical Hebrew has a vocabulary of about 7,000 words, of which maybe 1,000 or more are obscure today. It was totally unfit even for the end of the 18th century, let alone the 20th century. An educated Israeli today has a vocabulary of at least ten times that. There are also significant differences in the structure and grammar of the language. For instance, if you look at biblical Hebrew, the tenses are completely out of joint; the past and the future mix in the same sentence, for stylistic purposes. Modern Hebrew also established a standard pronunciation that didn’t exist before. It is for this reason that many students with some training for their bar-Mitzvah and able to read the prayers are unable to follow the modern language.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What has acquisition of Hebrew meant for the Arab minority?</p>
<p><strong>Berdichevsky:</strong> In spite of the current crisis over Gaza, and violent demonstrations (condemned by almost all the mayors of Arab towns in Israel), the trend among Israeli Arabs, especially those in the professions is greater educational and career opportunities through Hebrew and the rate of proficiency and even fluency among them has steadily increased. It is no accident that few Arab Israeli men seek marriage partners with women from the West Bank who are much more conservative, not likely to work outside the home, and not proficient in Hebrew.</p>
<p>It comes as a surprise to many foreign observers that nine of fourteenEgyptian universities, including Al-Azhar Islamic University, offer courses in Modern Hebrew with approximately 20,000 students, more than are studying the language in the United States! They are majoring in Middle Eastern Studies. Mounir Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist, told the Israeli daily Ma’ariv that between two and three thousand students graduate each year with bachelor’s degrees from Hebrew studies courses. He explained that Egyptian students “are exposed to Israeli culture and history, and unlike their colleagues who see Israel as only a source of hatred and conquest, they learn about it from a different angle altogether.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">In a journalistic scoop on July 2, 2013, Israeli reporter Guy Zohar interviewed Egyptian woman journalist and political activist Heba Abu Seif on Israeli live television.  Her perfect and fluent Hebrew surprised many viewers and is an optimistic sign. Just as Israelis could now view events with direct commentary from on the spot sources in their own language, it portends a revolutionary transformation that in the future, Arab opinion about Israel will no longer rely entirely on its own traditional and highly biased accounts.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><b>FP:</b> What does the American Jewish Community miss out on by not knowing Modern Hebrew well?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><b>Berdichevsky:</b> Over the past two generations, there has been a steady decline among many American Jews in the cultural and emotional identification they feel with Modern Hebrew literature, song and dance, elements that once drew them close to the Zionist project and the emergence of a modern national Israeli culture. Many tourists in Israel miss out on much that is not available by instant translations.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">All laws, debates in the Knesset, the legal cases in court, and applications for patents, are, of course in Hebrew. Israeli affairs portrayed by the media in the Diaspora are often based on highly selected and fragmentary extracts of published material translated and occasionally mistranslated from Hebrew. Although many people with an interest in Israel are aware of the importance of the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language and may recognize the name of pioneer linguist Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, they do not appreciate the difficulties involved or what challenges were posed before the eventual accomplishment of what almost all linguists had declared impossible.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">This is a remarkable story that deserves to be told to a mass audience. Moreover, it is the story of the three generations long world-wide rivalry with Yiddish and the techniques used to make Hebrew into a language capable of handling all the demands of a modern society. Not knowing Modern Hebrew, neither they, nor their children are familiar with Israeli authors, playwrights, movie directors, actors, singers, pop singers, athletes, or the standings of Israel’s football (soccer) clubs.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">While no educated person, let alone a Jew, is ignorant of Albert Einstein (he remains the Jewish figure most celebrated by the world, as determined by the number of postage stamps representing dozens of countries which have so honored him for his achievements in physics), the same cannot be said of Arik Einstein, who, until his death in November last year was certainly regarded by the Israeli public as its most beloved singer in the modern era of popular Hebrew song.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">Yet, he was largely unknown among Jews abroad who are unfamiliar with Modern Hebrew language and culture. His popularity, appeal and charm have been compared to that of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen combined. He certainly remained in the public limelight for as long as any of these three American superstars and what is more impressive, he was equally successful in all of the genres of modern popular song including traditional love ballads, patriotic expressions of love of country, its landscape and people, soulful laments, protest songs and even children’s songs and rock.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;">Why is such a personality so prominent in Israel’s cultural life such an unknown quantity in the Diaspora. In spite of all the oceans of ink spilt over “Jewish solidarity” and that the Jews are one people, the reality is that there is a growing cultural gap in which language plays a major role. This is the point of departure of my book that also touches upon the political divide between Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora, especially in the United States.</p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Andrew C. McCarthy, a policy fellow at the National Review Institute, a contributing editor at <em>National Review</em>, and a columnist for PJ Media. He was a top federal prosecutor involved in some of the most significant cases in recent history. Decorated with the Justice Department’s highest honors, he retired from government in 2003, after helping launch the 9/11 investigation. He is one of America’s most persuasive voices on national security issues and author of the bestsellers <em>Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad</em> and <em>The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America</em>. He is the author of the new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Faithless-Execution-Building-Political-Impeachment/dp/1594037760"><em>Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment</em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Andrew C. McCarthy, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>Jamie, it’s a pleasure to speak with you again.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Let’s begin with what inspired you to write this book.</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>Presidential lawlessness and derelictions of duty. I guess that, in light of my background, it’s not surprising that I’m intrigued by how our Constitution deals with modern challenges—or, more accurately, modern iterations of eternal challenges like abuse of power. President Obama’s lawlessness is unprecedented in its scope, starkness, and purpose to undermine the separation-of-powers. The Framers rightly believed the latter was the key to safeguarding liberty—preventing the accumulation of too much power, and especially the joining of executive and legislative powers, in a single set of hands. Because they so worried about the specter of executive lawlessness and overreach, they gave Congress tools to address it decisively. But there are really only two of them: the power of the purse and impeachment.</p>
<p>So I wrote the book to say, “Look, presidential lawlessness is a significant threat to our liberties and to our aspiration to be a Republic under the rule of law. The system gives us weapons to combat it. If we don’t use them, that is a political choice that can be made, but let’s make it with our eyes open because it has serious consequences. I means we will no longer be the same kind of country.”</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What exactly are “high crimes and misdemeanors” and can you give a few brief examples of how has Obama committed them?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>Thanks for asking that because it gets to another reason I wanted to write the book. There is mass confusion about what “high crimes and misdemeanors” means, which is somewhat surprising given that the Clinton impeachment happened less than a generation ago. But it does not refer to conventional “crimes” and “misdemeanors” that I prosecuted back when I was a government lawyer. It is a term of art borrowed from British law—in fact, the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, who was charged in Parliament with “high crimes and misdemeanors” by Edmund Burke, was underway in England while our Constitution was being written, and the Framers were very engaged in such affairs. The phrase, as Hamilton explained, refers to the “political wrongs of public men”—meaning abuses of power and breaches of the public trust reposed in high executive officials. More than penal offenses, it much more resembles concepts found in military justice, e.g., dereliction of duty, failure to honor an oath, etc. The Framers were most concerned about executive maladministration that would undermine our constitutional framework, usurping the powers of the states and the other federal branches.</p>
<p>I recently heard former Attorney General Mukasey give a great example of how an impeachable offense need not be a standard crime or an indictable offense. Presidents have plenary, unreviewable constitutional power to issue pardons and commutations for federal crimes and sentences. If a president suddenly decided to pardon and commute the sentences of every single convict in federal prison and every indicted defendant in a federal case, there would be no crime in that. A president clearly has the constitutional authority to issue such an order. But it would also be a massive abuse of power and he could and, one hopes, surely would be impeached and removed from office for doing it.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>You emphasize that making the legal case for impeachment is not enough. Kindly explain.</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>In their genius, the Framers wanted us to have a clear standard—treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors—defining what misconduct legally suffices to remove a president from power. But recognizing that removing a president would be very disruptive to our society, they wanted it to be hard to accomplish—so it would only be done in worthy cases, not as a result of partisan hackery. So while articles of impeachment (i.e., accusations of high crimes and misdemeanors) may be filed on just a simple majority of the House of Representatives, it requires a two-thirds Senate supermajority to remove the president from power. No matter how many provable impeachable offenses you have, then, a president will not be removed unless there is a broad-based popular will that he should be ousted. So the legal case for impeachment, the establishment of high crimes and misdemeanors, is not as important as the political case that the impeachable offenses truly warrant removal. Impeachment is essentially a political remedy, not a legal one.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>As a former prosecutor, you have gained some extra insights on this matter, the differences between a legal case and impeachment?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>Yes, I have a chapter in the book that analyzes how different the criminal investigation and trial process is from the substantially political process of impeachment. I don’t mean “political” in a pejorative sense. I mean it in the sense that the Constitution is a division of political power—so I’m talking about the judicial process of ordinary law-enforcement cases versus the process of filing articles of impeachment in the House and conducting a Senate impeachment trial.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> The campaigns to impeach Nixon and Clinton involved very different ingredients than why Obama would need to be impeached, right?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>The lawlessness in which Nixon and Clinton engaged, while certainly qualifying as “high crimes and misdemeanors,” was different not only in degree but kind from Obama’s. Clinton’s conduct was reprehensible but it did not really touch the core of his presidential duties, much less undermine the constitutional framework. Nixon’s was more severe, but it was largely based on a single transaction and was not a systematic assault on our governing framework—in fact, Nixon obeyed a court order, surrendered the tapes, and ultimately resigned from office rather than stonewalling, destroying the tapes (other than the infamous 18-minute gap), putting the country through an impeachment trial, and otherwise using his enormous power to fight to the bitter end.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>You demonstrate that all of this is very much connected to the “fundamental transformation” that Obama promised. Illuminate that for us please.</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>In marked contrast to Nixon and Clinton, Obama is a committed movement leftist who is using his raw power to make good on his vow to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” under circumstances where he does not have a public mandate and governing majority—most Americans, it turns out, like the country and don’t want it transformed. Of necessity, then, if he’s going to transform us, Obama has to do it outside the bounds of the law and traditional notions of presidential duty. It follows that there’s a slew of lawlessness and derelictions of duty.</p>
<p>Indeed, because Obama is a trained community organizer and steeped in Leftist strategies like Piven-Cloward, it follows that he presses his raw power beyond his legitimate authority as far as he thinks he can afford to go politically and that he overloads the system with crisis—so that by the time you barely wrap your brain around the details of one scandal, he’s two or three scandals down the road. There were lots of Clinton scandals, but they were mostly about his personal failings not a strategic challenge to the constitutional framework.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What would the framers of this country think of Obama?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>They’d think he should be impeached and removed, but they’d be more surprised, I imagine, at how drastically the country had changed, and how much the relation between the citizen and the central government had changed. Obama is a known quantity and he’s doing what one who had studied his background and record would expect him to do. And the president’s political opposition in Congress is feckless, but they are not inventing out of whole cloth the possibility of being damaged politically for resisting him. The wild card in the equation is the public. How important to us is it that we are still a republic under the rule of law rather than subjects of presidential whim. That’s hard to say, and that’s what would have surprised the Framers.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>The consequences for this nation if the American people do not give their support for their leaders to pursue impeachment?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>Well, as I argue in the book, the best thing for the country would not be Obama’s impeachment. It would be to create the political conditions—by emphasizing the issue of presidential lawlessness—under which the president sees his interest as following the law, honoring his oath, and finishing his term that way. But if he is not going to do that—and things seem to be getting worse rather than better—something has to be done about it. The Framers gave Congress two tools: the power of the purse and impeachment. If neither of those remedies is going to be used, we are going to be a very different kind of country.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Final thoughts?</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>The precedents being set today by Obama’s lawlessness and derelictions of duty are going to be available for exploitation by every future president, regardless of party or ideological bent. This should not be a partisan or a conservative issue. We all have a stake in the president’s not being above the law.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Andrew C. McCarthy, thank you so much for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p><strong>McCarthy: </strong>It’s been my pleasure, thanks so much.</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong> Nick Adams, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> Thank you Jamie, good to be here.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Congratulations on your new book. Let’s begin with this question: Why does an Australian care what happens in America?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> Jamie, what’s good for America is good for the world. A weak America is a weak world. A strong America is a strong world. The world becomes a much more dangerous place when America is weak. Everyone in the world should care about America staying number one.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Tell us about your new book and why people should read it.</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> This book violates left-wing taboos in every chapter, if not in every line.</p>
<p>More than that, the most powerful case exists against anti-Americanism, and yet it has never been made. I&#8217;m making it, and people need to hear it. I&#8217;m trying to create a thirst among Americans for rediscovering and reaffirming American values. Some might say “You&#8217;re preaching to the choir,” I say: “Most of the choir has forgotten the melody!”</p>
<p>Also, I wanted a book written by an average guy with a love of the middle class. The America I love is the real, traditional one: entrepreneurial, family-oriented, churchgoing, Norman Rockwell-loving, flag waving etc. The only way America can get back is by believing in itself again. I want America to be relaxed and comfortable with its position in the world.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why do you love America so much?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> I love America because it is confident, competitive, courageous, faithful, idealistic, innovative, inspirational, charitable, and optimistic. It is everything as a nation that I wish to be as a person.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>You are an expert on American exceptionalism. What makes America exceptional?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> It’s individualism, not collectivism. Patriotism, not relativism. Optimism, not pessimism. Limited government, not nanny state. God, not government. Faith, not secularism. Life, not death. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. It’s being bold, not bland. Brave, not meek. Choosing extraordinary over mediocre. It&#8217;s about seeing the world in terms of good and evil, right and wrong- not rich and poor, strong and weak. American exceptionalism is God over man, and man over government.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Talk to us a bit about the pathology of anti-Americanism.</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> Well, anti-Americanism has been central to the Left, and the Left, along with the world media, creates &#8220;world opinion&#8221;- which isn&#8217;t worth a dime, by the way. But all around the world, America is painted as dangerous, racist and selfish, stupid and lazy. And yet it&#8217;s the most successful melting pot anywhere. In the same week in 2012 it landed on Mars and topped the gold medal tally at the London Olympics. Its citizens are the most charitable per capita of any country. And as for dangerous- that&#8217;s absolute bilge. If I were to run out of gas in the middle of the night, I would feel more confident knocking on the door of an American home than one in any other country I know.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What does America have to do to boomerang?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> It has to end the waste, pay back the debt, cut the taxes, limit the government, protect the borders, hammer political correctness, preserve Judeo-Christian traditions, keep the peace through military strength, end the culture of entitlement and be loyal to the Constitution.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What do you think America&#8217;s approach should be to foreign policy?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> America should always lead from the front. Weakness invites aggression. I know Americans are war-weary, but a reduced American military footprint is not good for anyone. The best way to ensure the American military never have to go to any war is by making sure the American military can win any war. No one should be surprised that Russia and China are advancing at the same time the American military is getting downsized. I think we have to pray for peace, but prepare for war. And it certainly shouldn&#8217;t be using hashtags&#8230; I mean, just imagine Eleanor Roosevelt standing there with a sign #StopAdolf. Unbelievable.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why do you believe the Second Amendment is a centerpiece of American exceptionalism?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> Nothing is more emblematic of the exceptionalism of America than the Second Amendment. Without the second Amendment, there are no other Amendments: the rest of the Constitution is a recommendation. It defines what America is about. It speaks to the character of America and to the mentality and philosophy of the American. It reflects why America came into being and the success of its human experiment. Civilian disarmament is based on the assumption that people are irresponsible (unless they work for the government). America was founded on the opposite premise. Plus: If we don&#8217;t give up cars because some people use them to drive drunk, why give up our guns because others use them to commit crimes?</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Illuminate for us your belief that the Christian faith is at the center of the US exceptionalism web.</p>
<p><strong>Adams: </strong>America is the one religious major industrialized country in the world. Americans acknowledge God in their founding document, the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance, in their courtrooms, in their national anthem, and on their money… God is everywhere. And that is why until now God has blessed America enormously.</p>
<p>The source of America&#8217;s character, as well as its virtues of optimism, freedom, pursuit of evil, derives from its robust Christian faith. Its whole idea of government was founded on the Christian concept of the sinful nature of man. The founding fathers were believers in the God of the Bible. One of the basic tenets of America was the ability to be free to worship any religion you like, but America was and remains a Judeo- Christian nation. The alliterative God-gap between America and Europe and their comparative success tells you all you need to know.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Your thoughts on multiculturalism?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> It&#8217;s a completely failed policy. E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one) makes America stand out. I don&#8217;t pray at the altar of multiculturalism and the lie of the utopian virus. I think a lack of unified values threatens the cohesion of society. Why does multiculturalism embrace the value of other cultures while simultaneously denigrating America&#8217;s magnificent Judeo-Christian heritage? Multiculturalism makes a nation just the sum of its parts, but no greater. And another question: why doesn&#8217;t multiculturalism focus on the goodness and benevolence of America? America should pay no regard to where its citizens are from but require collective agreement on where they are headed. I believe in protecting America’s borders, its language and culture.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Your thoughts on the connection between the Left and Islam?</p>
<p><strong>Adams: </strong>You see, Jamie, the connection is the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is why the Left around the world runs interference on behalf of the Islamist. They run a protection racket for them. Both of them are enemies of America- if the US was a tooth, both would be rooting for the cavity. Social justice appears to demand that successful Western civilization be weakened, and non-Western ideologies (of which Islam is the most dominant) rewarded.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>In your view, what would happen if the lights went out on America?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> America is at the center of the web. If the lights went out on the American Dream, the world would lose its shepherd. It would lose the fountainhead of world goodness. With no American Dream, there is no America. The world would succumb to socialism and radical Islam. Men who dream and aspire to tyranny would no longer be restrained or fearful. Smaller nations whose existence rely on America would be at their mercy. The threat to Israel would increase drastically. South Korea would be attacked. Australia would be at the mercy of Indonesia, the country with the world’s largest Islamic population.</p>
<p>Without the economic leadership of America, and its leadership of ages, such as the agricultural, industrial, and information, stagnation would occur. People right around the world would live in uncertainty, pessimism and debt-riddled mediocrity, and never experience again the beauty of pursuing happiness.</p>
<p>With the American Dream dead, the model of individualism would be defunct, and collectivism and government seen as the only faith. The hundreds of millions of people beyond America’s borders that adopted the American Dream as their own, or those that always sought it, would be denied. In short, unconscionable darkness would cover the world.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Let’s move on to your thoughts on the Islamic mind, which you argue is inferior to the American mind. Touch on that for us please.</p>
<p><strong>Adams: </strong>All people are equal, but all cultures are not. While America is about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Sharia &#8211; the moral code and religious law of Islam &#8211; is about death, slavery and the pursuit of power. They are entirely incompatible. It&#8217;s the American Dream and the Islamic nightmare. Islam, when practiced properly &#8211; according to the Koran, the Hadith and the Sura &#8211; is not a religion of peace. From its inception, Islam has gone to war to conquer and convert, and it was always offense, not defense. There are major serious moral shortcomings in the Muslim world. Among them, violent punishments for non-violent offences, imposition of Sharia, and the treatment of women, not to mention an utter dearth of liberty.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why do you believe there is a little cowboy in every American?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> The traditional patriotic American does have a cowboy spirit. They are highly individualistic, fiercely anti-authority, suspicious of government, philanthropic, religious, disposed to civic volunteerism, self-reliant, spirited, unafraid, and inherently good. They&#8217;re the type of people who believe in the words of John Wayne: “If everything isn’t black and white, I say ‘Why the hell not?’”</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What do you mean when you say other nations strive for mediocrity but America strives for greatness? Why do you say America embraces the brilliant men and women of other countries and why are those people rejected in their own homelands?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> No culture other than America allows its people to pursue their dream, blaze a trail and provide them with circumstances best suited to success. Americans who travel to England or Australia or Germany are taken aback at how brutally unkind these cultures are to their public figures, how hateful they are toward anyone with a degree of success (genuine or perceived) or money, and how willing they are to ascribe an individual’s achievements to something other than their own ability.</p>
<p>The Australia I grew up with, and still live in, is hostile to anyone with initiative, self-esteem and the ability to make money. To display individuality, to not conform, to make your own rules, equates to lack of recognition, at best, or steady personal and media assault, at worst. It explains the great brain drain of the West, which has for the last half-century flooded into the United States.</p>
<p>For America to remain on top, it must continue to be the refuge for those who want to be the best. America must always rebuke the collectivist, egalitarian oppression of the individual manufactured by socialism.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Political correctness?</p>
<p><strong>Adams:</strong> I think it&#8217;s the greatest calamity of our time. Political correctness is not only unpatriotic; it&#8217;s inhumane. It&#8217;s a human rights violation. It empowers radical Islam, it empowers the Chinese, socialism, tyranny and it empowers every person seeking to destroy the West and America. Political correctness if not just an agenda &#8211; it is a war &#8211; a war against America, against Christianity, against white people, against tradition, and on life itself. I&#8217;m sick of ponytailed grad students that have attended one too many gender studies seminars determining what I can and can&#8217;t say. The test should not be hurt feelings; it should be truth. As a straight, white, educated, conservative, middle-class male, I am not supposed to have a voice. Good luck with that. I&#8217;m not going to allow myself to be bullied by the anti-bullying crusade. I don&#8217;t think America should become a nation of bullies, forcing conformity while calling it tolerance. Time to punch the bully in the nose!</p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is <b>Humberto Fontova</b>, the author of three critically-acclaimed and internationally-published books on the Cuban Revolution. He was born in Havana, Cuba in 1954 and escaped from Castro’s communist regime in 1961 with his family.  His father remained briefly in Cuba as a political prisoner while Humberto and his family were accepted as political refugees in the USA.  He holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of New Orleans and a Masters Degree in Latin American Studies from Tulane University. Humberto has become FoxNews’ “go-to-guy” on Cuban matters and has been a regular Frontpage Magazine contributor for almost a decade. He is the author of the new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Longest-Romance-Mainstream-Media-Castro-ebook/dp/B00DY0KTAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1400490401&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=humberto+fontova">The Longest Romance: The Mainstream Media and Fidel Castro</a>.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> Welcome, amigo.</p>
<p><strong>Fontova:</strong> Great to be here, Jamie. Thanks for the invite.</p>
<p><b>FP: </b>Let’s begin with what inspired you to write this book.</p>
<p><b>Fontova: </b>I’m gritting my teeth as I write this, because<b> </b>I normally detest the term &#8220;consciousness-raising,&#8221; —but I simply can’t avoid it here. That’s precisely what I’m attempting with this book, as I have with my previous ones on the so-called Cuban Revolution. Few events in modern history are as misunderstood. Few have been as effectively propagandized. Among historical figures, Fidel Castro wins, hands down, as the most persistently effective liar of modern times. Castro’s colorful cachet as worldwide icon of anti-Americanism and as pioneering beatnik allows his record as a warmonger, racist/Stalinist and the godfather of modern terrorism to be forgiven, ignored and falsified. <em>The Longest Romance</em> exposes this record, the abettors and the falsifiers.</p>
<p><b>FP: </b>So what story does <i>The Longest Romance</i> tell and how is it different from other books on the subject?</p>
<p><b>Fontova:  </b>Well, to begin with, there <i>are</i> no other books <i>precisely</i> on this subject. Yes, biographies on Fidel Castro and Che Guevara abound, but most have been written – to some extent or the other — in collaboration with the regime or using<i> leftist</i> or communist renegade critics of the regime as primary sources. As if the only acceptable histories of the Russian Revolution and Bolshevism should be written by Trotskyites or Mensheviks.  Of course these sources have important material to contribute — but they also have much to hide, namely their own responsibility for the disaster.</p>
<p>In my books, I make it point to include the accounts of people who had Castro and Che’s number <i>from day one.</i> Amazingly, these invaluable sources are habitually shunned. For instance, I wonder how many people realize that the CIA, in collaboration with some of Cuba’s aristocracy, had a major role in helping Castro and Che into power?</p>
<p><b> FP:</b> Expand for us on the evil of Castro and his regime.</p>
<p><b>Fontova: </b>Castro jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror, murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six and came closest of anyone in history to starting a worldwide nuclear war.</p>
<p>In the above process the Castro brothers and Che Guevara converted a nation with a higher per-capita income than half of Europe and a huge influx of immigrants into one that repels Haitians and boasts the highest suicide rate in the hemisphere. Who would guess any of this from reading the mainstream media? Instead we read almost exclusively about how Castro  freed Cuba from the greedy clutches of U.S. robber barons and bestowed his formerly downtrodden countrymen with free healthcare and education.</p>
<p>In fact, as recently as 2011, Newsweek magazine ranked Cuba among “The Best Countries in the World” for its “exceptional quality of life.”</p>
<p>Most Americans would never know this from the major media but an official “state-sponsor-of terror” ( as Cuba is designated by our State department) sits 90 miles from U.S. shores essentially under the same leadership as in 1962 when it craved &#8211; and came within a whisker &#8211; of igniting a worldwide nuclear war.</p>
<p>“What!” Khrushchev gasped on Oct. 28th 1962, as recalled by his son Sergei. “Is he (Fidel Castro) proposing that we start a nuclear war? That we launch missiles from Cuba?&#8230;But that is insane!&#8230;<i>Remove them</i> (our missiles) <i>as soon as possible!</i> Before it’s too late. Before something terrible happens!” commanded the Soviet premier.</p>
<p>It’s really saying something that the man appalled by Castro’s bloodthirstiness was Nikita Khrushchev, who performed faithfully as Stalin’s butcher and enforcer in the Ukraine during the  famine and Great Terror.</p>
<p>“My dream is to drop three Atomic Bombs on New York City (<i>Raul</i> –not Fidel—Castro, Nov. 1960.)</p>
<p>While imprisoned for terrorism in 1955 Fidel wrote to a communist colleague:  “Propaganda is the heart of our struggle. We must never abandon propaganda.”</p>
<p>In his famous diaries published in 1959, Che Guevara revealed: “Much more valuable than recruits for our guerrilla force were American media recruits to export our propaganda.”</p>
<p>Most Cuba-watchers notice that Castro and Che’s propaganda is still being very effectively exported worldwide. Decades before the terms “spin” and “damage-control” entered the political lexicon, Fidel Castro was a virtuoso of both.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> How do you explain the complicity of major U.S. media players in spreading Castro’s propaganda? Can you name some of the major accomplices?</p>
<p><strong>Fontova:</strong> There’s a “coolness” and “hipster” cachet that hovers around the leaders of the Cuban Revolution that simply will not dissipate, despite a half century of Stalinist crimes.</p>
<p><b> </b>“They saw in him (Castro) the hipster who in the era of the Organization Man had joyfully defied the system,” wrote President Kennedy’s adviser Arthur Schlesinger Jr back in 1961.</p>
<p>In fact, the brain-shackled robot the Castro brothers and Che Guevara tried to create with their firing squads, forced labor camps and Stalinist indoctrination makes the Eisenhower era’s Organization Man look like a combination of Jimmy Hendrix and Jack Kerouac.</p>
<p>The notion of Castro’s Cuba as stiflingly Stalinist nation never quite caught on among the “enlightened.”  The regime was founded by “beatniks,” after all. In 1960 Jean Paul Sartre hailed Cuba’s Stalinist rulers as “<em>les Enfants au Pouvoir</em>” (the children in power). A few months earlier Fidel Castro spoke at Harvard the same bill as beat poet Allen Ginsberg. And ever since then, long-haired Che Guevara has reigned worldwide as top icon of youthful rebellion.  The reality, as documented in my book, differs grotesquely:</p>
<p>“Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates!” raved Che Guevara in a famous speech in 1961. “The very spirit of rebellion is reprehensible,” commanded this icon of Flower Children. “Instead the young must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service<b>.”</b></p>
<p>For close to a decade, over half of what Americans have read about Cuba in the mainstream media has been doctored by Castro-regime “agents-of-influence” working in concert with the Castro regime’s Intelligence service.  To wit: among the mainstreams media’s favorite sources on Cuban matters are The Council on Foreign Relations’ Julia Sweig, and the Cuban Research Center’s Phil Peters.</p>
<p>Well, in my book the Defense Intelligence Agency’s top Cuba spycatcher Lieut. Col. Chris Simmons identifies Ms Sweig as a Cuban “agent of influence.”  In the very acknowledgements to her book, Ms Sweig thanks the “warm friendship” and “support” of six different Cuban spies and terrorists&#8211;three of whom were expelled from the U.S. for terrorism and/or espionage.</p>
<p>My book also includes a court discovery document showing how Phil Peters long received under-the-table payments from one of Castro’s biggest Canadian business partners.</p>
<p>A rising star as “Cuba expert” among the major media is Denver University scholar Arturo Lopez-Levy. In fact my book discloses that his real name is Arturo Lopez-<i>Callejas,</i> a former Cuban intelligence analyst, who is also Raul Castro’s nephew–in-law.</p>
<p>Nobody would guess any of the above from reading the bios or intros to these Cuba “experts “as run by the New York Times of NPR.</p>
<p><b>FP: </b>What do you hope this book will achieve?</p>
<p><b>Fontova:  </b>At least alleviate this grotesque disconnect between the “hipster/health-care” image of the Cuban Revolution and the horrors of a Stalinist police state.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Humberto Fontova, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview. It was an honor to speak with you and thank you for dedicating yourself to telling the truth about communist monsters and those who worship them. We wish you the best.</p>

<p><b>FP: </b>Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p><b>Geller:</b> Thank you, Jamie.</p>
<p><b>FP: </b>I understand that the Muslim author Reza Aslan has said that he wanted to “make hate babies” with you. Can you please give us the details?</p>
<p><b>Geller:</b> Jamie, it was on <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/234cyl/i_am_author_and_scholar_of_religions_reza_aslan/" target="_blank">a Reddit thread</a>. Reza was taking questions, and one Reddit user asked him: “Hello Reza, I have an excellent start up question for you. You and Pamela Geller are stuck on an island, what happens?”</p>
<p>Aslan answered: “Are we stuck forever? If so, then I guess it’s time to make some hate babies Pam.”</p>
<p>The person who asked the question, “benalmy,” was thrilled by this display of hatred and savagery, and wrote back: “oh dude you are awesome!” Another commented: “By expressing his ability to hate a woman and still wish to have sex with her, he becomes very relatable to reddit’s users.” And it was true: “scruba” wrote: “Reza, you’re my hero,” and “btn pshr” added: “omg this is amazing, I can’t even…” “Squishie 5413” wrote: “This is the best response I’ve ever seen.”</p>
<p>Only one commenter, “wanweilin,” at the very end of the thread, dared to challenge Aslan and state the obvious: “Sounds like rape. Appropriate for treatment for an infidel.”</p>
<p>We know there is a term for this: “hate-f**k.” And the Left has <a href="http://pamelageller.com/2009/06/playboy-hate-fks-women-they-could-never-touch-literally-or-figuratively.html/">a field day with it</a> to humiliate and slander conservative women. Vile.<b> </b></p>
<p>When was the last time you heard a genuine pro-freedom writer fantasize about raping someone on the Left?</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> You’re right, Pamela: imagine if a well-known male conservative said this about a liberal or Muslim woman, and then commentators chimed in to say how much they loved him for saying such a thing? The conservative’s career would be over and the comments would be used to show how “hateful” conservatives are.</p>
<p>Your thoughts on this double standard?</p>
<p><b>Geller:</b> Jamie, the savagery and hate of the Left and Islamic supremacists (and Aslan is both) are off the charts, open and unapologetic, and still the enemedia claims that conservatives are the haters.</p>
<p>What’s amazing, and telling, about Reza Aslan is that he is such a mainstream media darling despite how hateful and vicious he is. After he shot to national attention last summer for boasting about degrees he didn’t have on Fox News, it came to light that he routinely berated his critics on Twitter with <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/author-attacked-by-fox-news-is-actually-kind-of-a-jerk-on-tw">foul-mouthed abuse</a> worthy of a schoolyard bully, not a respected analyst. The mainstream media took no notice, of course – and so here again is the double standard. If a conservative writer had been discovered to be speaking to people that way, he would have been denounced and ridiculed all the way out of the public square.</p>
<p>But none of that matters to the Left at all. One leftist group, <a href="http://www.intersectionsinternational.org/2014awardscelebration/honorees">Intersections International</a>, which claims to promote “peacemaking” and “interfaith outreach,” actually honored Aslan “for his work at the intersection of religion, scholarship, and global peacemaking.” If anyone isn’t a peacemaker, it is this potty-mouthed creep. But for Intersections International and the entire Left, abusing and mocking conservatives even with the most repulsive language doesn’t mean he isn’t a wonderful person and even a “peacemaker.” As far as the Left is concerned, conservatives aren’t entitled even to the most basic human respect.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> Aslan also has ties to Islamic supremacists, doesn’t he?</p>
<p><b>Geller:</b> Yes, Jamie.</p>
<p>Even more important than his foul mouth and disgusting rape fantasies is how closely he is aligned with jihadists and Islamic supremacists.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/reza-aslan-the-idea-of-resurrection-absolutely-has-no-basis-in-five-thousand-years-of-jewish-history-scripture-or-thought" target="_blank">Here is</a> a summary:</p>
<p>Reza Aslan is “a <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/11/reza-aslan-board-member-of-islamic-republic-lobbying-group-niac-cheers-iran-nuke-capitulation" target="_blank">Board member of a lobbying group for the bloodthirsty and genocidally antisemitic Iranian regime.</a> Aslan tried to pass off Iran’s genocidally-minded former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/01/do-we-have-ahmadinejad-all.html" target="_blank">liberal reformer</a> and has called on the U.S. Government to negotiate with <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-09-28/ahmadinejad-under-fire-in-iran/" target="_blank">Ahmadinejad</a> himself, as well as with the jihad terror group <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/reza-aslan/the-middle-east-peace-pro_b_776113.html" target="_blank">Hamas</a>. Aslan has even <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/11/moderate-reza-aslan-praises-jihad-terror-group-hizballah-appears-for-muslim-brotherhood-group-msa.html" target="_blank">praised the jihad terror group Hizballah</a> as ‘the most dynamic political and social organization in Lebanon,’ and has also praised the anti-Semitic, misogynist, Islamic supremacist <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/02/reza-aslan-praises-group-dedicated-to-eliminating-and-destroying-western-civilization-from-within.html" target="_blank">Muslim Brotherhood</a>, which is dedicated <a href="http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/20.pdf" target="_blank">in its own words</a>, according to a captured internal document, to ‘eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.’ <a href="http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/reza_aslan/2011/01/religion_politics_and_american_hypocrisy_on_egypt.html?hpid=talkbox1" target="_blank">Aslan wrote</a>: ‘The Muslim Brotherhood will have a significant role to play in post-Mubarak Egypt. And that is good thing.’ Millions of Egyptians obviously disagree. He has also <a href="http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-new-left-fascists/?singlepage=true" target="_blank">applauded and called for the forcible shutdown of the free speech of those he hates — a quintessentially fascist impulse</a>.”</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> And this man is a hero of the Left.</p>
<p><b>Geller:</b> Yes, Jamie, It shows just how low they’ve sunk.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Pamela, thank you for joining us today. We wish you the best and thank you for everything that you do.</p>

<p><em>Frontpage editors have decided to shed light on the Islamic context of <em>Shekau&#8217;s barbaric acts and words by </em>reprinting a segment of <a href="http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=28953">an interview</a> from our November 23, 2007 issue, in which Dr. Bill Warner discussed the inspiration and sanctioning that Muslims find in Islam for slavery and rape: </em></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Bill Warner, the director of the <a href="http://www.cspipublishing.com/">Center for the Study of Political Islam</a> (CSPI) and spokesman for <a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/">politicalislam.com</a>. CSPI’s goal is to teach the doctrine of political Islam through its books and it has produced an eleven book series on political Islam. Mr. Warner did not write the CSPI series, but he acts as the agent for a group of scholars who are the authors. The Center’s latest book is <i><a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/Submission_of_Women_and_Slaves.htm">The Submission of Women and Slaves, Islamic Duality.</a></i></p>
<p><b>FP:</b> Bill Warner, welcome back to Frontpage Magazine. This is the second part in our two-part series with you on the Center’s most recent book. In <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=2ACCD764-5177-4D05-9186-4B9EFE442849">the first part</a> we discussed Islam and its doctrine on the submission of women. In this second and final part we will discuss the matter of slavery.</p>
<p><b>Warner:</b> It is a pleasure to work with Frontpage.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> So tell us in general where Islam stands on slavery.</p>
<p><b>Warner:</b> Islam’s stand on slavery is based on its political principles of submission and duality. The principle of submission could not be clearer. By definition a slave is the most submissive of all people. You become a slave only when you have no more choices. A slave has completely submitted to a master.</p>
<p>The principle of duality is shown by the fact that Islam does not enslave Muslims, only kafirs (non-Muslims). Since only kafirs are enslaved, it assures that more of the world submits to Islam.</p>
<p>Islamic slavery is based on the Trilogy of the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed’s life) and the Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). All three texts say that slavery is permitted, ethical, desirable and a virtue. There is not one single negative word about slavery.</p>
<p>Slavery is seen as a process that brings kafirs to Islam. It is a virtue to free slaves, but Mohammed only freed slaves who submitted to Islam. If the kafir slave does not submit, then their children will. So given enough time, slaves convert to Islam. That is one of the reasons that Islam sees slavery as a positive.</p>
<p>Of course, there is another reason that Islam sees slavery as being so &#8220;good&#8221; and that is the money. Mohammed and the other jihadists made a fortune out of enslaving kafirs. Mohammed used the money for more jihad. So slavery financed the spread of Islam and jihad from the beginning.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> What were the ingredients of Mohammed’s own life in terms of slavery?</p>
<p><b>Warner:</b> Mohammed is the perfect pattern for all humanity and his life was saturated in slavery. When his mother died, it was a freed slave who nursed him. His first wife owned slaves. One of his first converts was a slave. His closest friend, Abu Bakr, traded one of his black kafir slaves for a Muslim who was enslaved by a kafir.</p>
<p>But all of this was small change compared to his envolvement with slavery once he turned to jihad. In his first major battle at Badr, he stood by and prayed as his henchmen beat and tortured captured slaves to get information about the enemy kafirs.</p>
<p>Slaves made Mohammed&#8217;s pulpit. Slaves mended his cloths, cooked his food, and did every thing that a slave does for the master. He gave away slaves as gifts and received them as gifts. He went to war to kill the males so that the remaining people would surrender to be sold as slaves. Mohammed sold slaves on both the retail and wholesale markets.</p>
<p>He offered captured slaves their freedom if they would first agree that he was the prophet of Allah. A kafir slave then became a slave of Allah, because all Muslims are slaves of Allah. For a slave, the religion of Mohammed started and ended with slavery.</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> Can you talk a bit about Islam and sexual slavery?</p>
<p><b>Warner:</b> All morality in Islam is patterned after the example of Mohammed. Everything that he did and said defines what is permitted or “good”. Mohammed repeatedly sanctioned forced sex (rape) with kafir females after they were captured. The Hadith clearly reports that he got first choice of the women. In one case, he repeatedly demanded one particular woman for himself and swapped two other kafir slave women for his choice. So if Mohammed was involved in the rape of kafirs, then rape is a virtue, not a sin or error.</p>
<p>When Mohammed destroyed the B. Qurayza tribe, all of the adult male Jews were beheaded, so that no husbands were left. Mohammed then took the children and gave them to Muslims to raise as Muslims and he sold off the Jewish women as slaves.</p>
<p>We know from another story that the women were divided into sex slaves and domestic slaves. In one scene, a jihadist is trying to obtain a high ransom for a woman and he is told that her breasts are flat and her mouth is cold, so her value was less. In short, she was only good for work around the house, not in the bedroom.</p>
<p>The Hadith tells of another story where the Muslims used <i>coitus interruptus</i> to avoid impregnating the kafir sex slaves. The reason was purely for business. If the kafir sex slave was pregnant, then she was worth less money.</p>
<p>Islamic doctrine says that kafir women should not be used for prostitutes, only for the pleasure of the master.</p>
<p>When Mohammed attacked the Jews at Khaybar, many moral precedents were set. Sexual slavery received an entire set of rules. Muslims were not to rape pregnant or menstruating women until they had delivered the child or finished their periods. At Khaybar, Mohammed’s god Allah, announced that even married women were fair game for rape.</p>
<p>Mohammed only killed some of the Jews at Khaybar. The male and female survivors were needed to work the land as dhimmis. (The original dhimmis were semi-slaves with no civil rights. Today, dhimmis are ignorant kafirs who apologize for Islam.) Since Islam needed the men to work, husbands were left alive. That was the reason that the Koran said that in this case, even with the husbands looking on, it was good to rape the women.</p>
<p>Sexual slavery was not only fun and profitable for the Muslim men, but rape was a powerful tactic of war, then and today. The women are forced into submission to Muslim men and the husbands are humiliated. Humiliated men are weakened men, so more kafirs were less able to resist Islam.</p>
<p>For some time Mohammed&#8217;s favorite sex partner was a Christian slave from Egypt named Mary. One of Mohammed&#8217;s wives caught him in some state of intimacy with Mary in the wife&#8217;s bedroom and raised hell. Mohammed promised to not do it again and moved Mary to her own apartment in Medina.</p>
<p>Mohammed had received Mary and her sister as gifts. He gave her sister away to a Muslim poet. He was used to giving away sex slaves. He gave several of his top lieutenants kafir sex slaves. Umar, who later became caliph, gave his sex slave to his son. [As an aside, when he was caliph, his son got drunk and Umar beat him to death.]</p>
<p><b>FP:</b> This institution of Islamic sexual slavery isn’t just a reality of the past is it?</p>
<p><b>Warner:</b> Everything that has been said up to now is not only history; it is Sunna (the example of the perfect pattern of action and morality found in Mohammed). So today we don&#8217;t have a beautiful blonde Christian girl on the block in Mecca, but we have continuous and ongoing rapes by Muslims in kafir cities. This goes on everywhere that Islam goes because it is Sunna.</p>
<p>This is a continuous 1400-year history of jihad. In every detailed history that comes from the original documents from history, rape is a constant. You have to look in the original documents, since our historians refuse to report it in so-called history books.</p>
<p>Rape is Sunna. Rape is not a sin. Rape is permitted and encouraged by Mohammed and the Koran. Islam is the only political system in the world that includes rules for rape and war. Rape is jihad. How good can it get? A Muslim gets to rape a kafir girl and get heaven credits. All jihad is a ticket to Paradise.</p>
<p>The most disgusting aspect of the Islamic rape of kafirs is not the rapes, but the kafir response. Kafirs become dhimmis by ignoring the rapes. I challenge you to find one, even one, mention of Islamic rape in the history books.</p>
<p>Islamic rape is more taboo than the N-word in the media. At least the N-word is acknowledged to exist. Even unicorns exist in media fantasy. But Islamic rape is forbidden to even exist as a fantasy.</p>
<p>And to reach a fevered rant: our so-called &#8220;feminist&#8221; scholars are absolutely intellectually and morally bankrupt hypocrites. They are traitors to our culture and a shame and a disgrace. They remain silent in the face of heinous crimes against women. They are arch-dhimmis when they refuse to speak of the Sunna, history and current rapes of our daughters, mothers, and sisters.</p>
<p>And our tax dollars support their evil in our public universities.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/nw.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-223685" alt="nw" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/nw.jpg" width="258" height="195" /></a>Naomi Wolf has joined the Hamas chorus by <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/04/17/Naomi-Wolf-Attacks-Me-as-a-Zionist-Agent" target="_blank">attacking</a> feminist hero Phyllis Chesler for being a Zionist agent. How facilely Wolf has adopted the language of Jew-haters the world over &#8212; an even more bitter irony coming from someone who has written an entire book comparing democratic America to Nazi Germany.</p>
<p>And Chesler’s sin? To have dared to challenge the Left&#8217;s party line of defending the Islamic mutilators of adolescent girls, and practitioners of gender apartheid. But then again, this isn&#8217;t anything new for Wolf, seeing that she is on the record for finding <a href="http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=36177" target="_blank">the burqa sexy.</a></p>
<p>In her recent article, “<a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/14856#.U0_7K_ldWoN" target="_blank">Brandeis Feminists Fail the Historical Moment,</a>” Phyllis Chesler criticized Brandeis&#8217; phony feminists for their complicity in the University denying an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali.  In a response on her Facebook page, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/04/17/Naomi-Wolf-Attacks-Me-as-a-Zionist-Agent" target="_blank">Wolf joined</a> the anti-Semites of the Mearsheimer-Walt-Blumenthal set, claiming that Chesler has no mind of her own but is merely a puppet of the organized Jews:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She is funded these days by pro-Israel advocacy organizations that support journalists and writers to advocate &#8216;the party line&#8217; in terms of hardline anti-Islam and right-wing policy outcomes regarding Israel.”</p></blockquote>
<p>This is pretty crude even for a brain-dead Marxist.</p>
<div dir="ltr">
<p>Wolf goes on to complain that Chesler:</p>
<blockquote><p>“has made some outlandish, grossly factually incorrect attacks on me whenever I write anything that encourages Western readers to have a deeper understanding of Islam.”</p></blockquote>
<p>What she means is a more groveling, supine attitude of appeasement towards barbaric Islamic attitudes and practices. When Wolf encourages people to have a “deeper understanding” of Islam, she is not alluding to caring more about <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/upload/pamphlets/ViolentOpp.pdf" target="_blank">the horrifying Islamic practices</a> of female genital mutilation, honor killing, forced marriage, veiling and acid attacks carried out against Muslim women in the name of Islam.</p>
<p>Chesler has <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/04/17/Naomi-Wolf-Attacks-Me-as-a-Zionist-Agent" target="_blank">already answered</a> Wolf’s sick attack with a little tongue-in-cheek acidity:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Naomi: Are you on the payroll of the public relations crisis management team Brandeis has reportedly hired? Are you now or have you ever been funded by George Soros? Or merely by the Democratic Party? Is Al Gore, for whom you once consulted, and who sold his cable channel to Al-Jazeera, backing you? Is he supporting your Woodhull Institute? Or are the Jordanian royals helping you? I know you visited with them and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-wolf/what-do-muslim-women-want_b_309979.html" target="_blank">wrote</a> about them very favorably.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Wolf’s attack on Chesler is an extension of the collision that occurred between the two a few years back, after <a href="http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=36177">Wolf went on a political pilgrimage</a> to the Muslim world and returned <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/behind-the-veil-lives-a-thriving-muslim-sexuality/2008/08/29/1219516734637.html" target="_blank">singing the praises</a> of the burqa. <a href="http://aconservativelesbian.com/2009/08/31/phyllis-chesler-punksmacks-naomi-wolf-couldnt-happen-to-a-nicer-girl/" target="_blank">Chesler dismantled Wolf’s embarrassing fairy tales</a> of the female gulag that Islam has constructed for nearly a billion women with such precision that one wonders why Wolf is now even bothering to step back into this mismatch. Unlike Wolf, Chesler is a true scholar of Islam and as the former bride of a Muslim in Afghanistan, she has first-hand experience of the horrors of Islamic gender apartheid.</p>
<p>Naomi Wolf is a sad emblem of the pathetic state of the Left and of its pseudo feminist wing: ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, anti-Semitic, anti-American and an embarrassing fifth column for the Islamic barbarians of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.</p>
