One of the many important data points from Ben Baird’s survey of Islamist successes in the election at Islamism.news.
Registered Muslim voters rose from 60 percent of the total adult Muslim population in 2016, to 82 percent in 2022. During the 2020 presidential race, which broke records for voter turnout in the 21st century, 71 percent of eligible Muslim voters cast a ballot, up from 59 percent in 2016 and 4 points higher than the national average.
Baird digs into the scale and scope of the election operation. The post-9/11 has seen record-breaking Muslim migration to America. The Muslim Brotherhood front groups that were not broken up after the attacks went on to form second and third-generation platforms that are entwined with the Left and sometimes rival them for sheer complexity. These organizations increasingly focus on not influencing politicians, but directly influencing the outcome of elections.
The Muslim vote may have decided the winner of key congressional and statewide races during the 2022 midterm elections and even helped secure Democratic Party control of the Senate…
a record-breaking 89 Muslim Americans – including more than a few apparent Islamists – were elected or re-elected in 2022 to offices ranging from school boards and state legislatures to U.S.
These are not just random Muslim people running for things, they’re products of the Islamist machine.
In Ohio, State Rep.-elect Munira Abdullahi has not yet quit her day job with the Muslim American Society, which the United Arab Emirates designated as a terrorist organization in 2014, thanks to its status as the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Re-elected in Iowa, State Rep. Ako Abdul Samad (D) has served since 2015 as chairman of the American Muslim Alliance, an Islamic civic organization so virulently anti-Semitic that Hillary Clinton was obliged to return a $50,000 AMA donation meant to fund her 2000 Senate bid. Additionally, State Reps. Mauree Turner (D-OK) and Ruwa Romman (D-GA) are CAIR board members, and at least a couple candidates are alumni of Students for Justice in Palestine, a campus club which uses violence and intimidation to harass Jewish students and further an anti-Israel agenda.
There’s a good deal of important information in Baird’s article. It’s also likely to be ignored because few people want to hear about the Jihad anymore, especially when it’s happening more quietly and behind the scenes. Republicans are pivoting toward once again pursuing the Muslim vote. Some like Christie were notorious for their Islamist pandering already. In the wake of the Dearborn school protests, the machine for rebranding a pivot toward Islamism as a conservative cause is already there.
America is continuing on the path to becoming the new Europe in this way along with many others. If we want to know what the price for that looks like, we just need to look to Europe.
Muslims shouldn’t be allowed in the country.
Halt Muslim immigration.
Deport Muslims convicted of crimes.
That will never happen until Americans reject altruism and embrace Ayn Rand’s self-preserving moral code of rational selfishness. An American MORAL revolution, a fervent, intransigent, MORAL CRUSADE, predicated on the FIRST, rational, moral principle of SELF-PRESERVATION and therefore RATIONAL SELFISHNESS is what will motivate Americans to have the courage to ban Muslim immigration, socialism, and the welfare-state. Nothing less will have the power to do so.
“The altruist philosophy that made big government what it is today is still the primary morality held by politicians, the media establishment, the party elect, and much of the electorate. This is why Rand and others have said, “It’s earlier than you think.” Until a substantial portion of the population explicitly rejects altruism, we can’t hope for a consistent defender of individual rights to be electable. Until such a person is elected, we can’t hope to limit government to performing only its proper functions.” – Objectivist Amy Peikoff
Actually, I think a few years of Taliban rule would do America good. They will teach the likes of Lady Gaga to dress appropriately. They will sort out very quickly all the “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” confusion. They will whip schools, the media and Hollywood into shape. And, most importantly, they will do away with liberals and liberalism. And all of this in the first week in power. What more could we want? The Republican Party won’t do any of this.
Once again, a specific minority group that is against woke issues that the Dems support, vote for Dems. I’m at a loss.
They figure after they have become the majority (of the Democrats and left) they will enjoy cracking down on gays, women’s rights, tolerance of other religions, etc etc They are patient and don’t mind telling lies for a while. For me, a 9/11/01 “survivor,” understanding the nature of the Muslims I worked with was as shocking as the event itself.
They have a long range strategy.
And that strategy includes lying to gain the upper hand with an enemy, and putting on a friendly face while having a heart full of murder.
Muslims should be ineligible for citizenship as their religion is incompatible with our supreme law – the Constitution. Their vote is motivated by sedition.
Marxism is essentially mystical religion hiding behind a veneer of false reasoning and fake science. The essential building blocks of theocracy are all there within Marxism. As Objectivist philosopher Leonard Peikoff has written, “Despite all its anti-religious posturings, Communism is nothing but a modern derivative of religion: it agrees with the essence of religion on every key issue, then merely gives that essence a new outward veneer or cover-up…. On every account, the conclusion is the same: Communism is not a new, rational philosophy; it is a tired, slavishly imitative heir of religion.”
Birds of a feather, flock together. Whether consciously and explicitly, or sub-consciously and implicitly, like attracts like. Pope Frankie is anti-capitalism, to be anti-capitalist is to be anti-individualism, which means anti-freedom, and anti-liberty. Orthodox Islam is the same. Orthodox Christianity is the same.
It does not matter whether Muslims or Christians are consciously and explicitly aware that their religions are at their core, in their philosophical and theological fundamentals as anti-capitalism as Marxism. Like will attract like and lead them to the logical conclusion of their shared fundamentals. The differences between the three are merely superficial, the three will kill each other over the superficials, once their common enemy, capitalism, is destroyed.
“Democracy is like a tram. You ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off.”
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s Islamist dictator
Also, and I keep telling this to people, the Left is just using woke issues to recruit and disrupt our society.
The USSR wasn’t woke. Communist China suppresses any such thing. So do all Communist regimes.
The counterculture stuff gets put away the moment the Left fully takes over. And then there’ll be none of the social stuff that Islamists object to allowed anyway.
We tend to confuse communism with authoritarianism. China in its current incarnation is an authoritarian state, but not a communist one. Even though it is ruled by a party that calls itself “communist.” Its economy is based on private property and capitalism. And that’s an established order there. Our Democrats, on the other hand, are purebred Mao-style communists, even though they call themselves “democratic.” The Dems advocate a slew of so-called “social justice” schemes that will inevitably lead to the dismantling of capitalism in the US. They perfectly follow Erdogan’s precept: they “ride” democracy tram while it serves their purpose, which is the destruction of capitalism in the US. That’s why I have written here many times: democracy has become a destructive tool in the US. We will end up having either a right-wing dictatorship like Generals Franco or Pinochet (preferable, but unlikely) or a left-wing one like Mao or Stalin. Right now, it looks like Mao is much more likely to win.
Oh, thanks. That reminded me, are Communism or Islam more ruthless? What happens when Communism goes to war with Islam? It seems sometimes Communism wins, sometimes Islam.
Decide for yourself if Islam is a spiritual religion or a geopolitical ambition disguised as a spiritual religion.
Maybe you can ask the descendants of the Christian population of Constantinople who survived the sacking.
First, you would have to find some.
Can’t religious spirituality be evil spirituality? Can’t a spritual religious belief be a spiritually evil religious belief?
This idea that religion can only be good and noble and atheism is synonymous with communism is false, wrong, mistaken, and only helps evil ideas, in secular form or religious form, to spread.
Decide for yourself if Christianity is a noble religion, or a geopolitical ambition, maybe you can ask the descendants of the Christian population of the Massacre at Beziers, or ask the descendants of the Hugueonots, ask the descendants of all the heretics and heretical sects persecuted and killed by the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Calvinists, or the Lutherans.
Are you contesting body counts?
Fourteen centuries. How many dead?
I reject suggestions of equivalence. Ask the East Timorians about the behavior of the Muslim Indonesian troops upon entering the former Portuguese colony. Explain to the dead they had it coming.
I woke to news this morning of a machete attack in New York City against the police. The new Europe is fast coming to America, and it has the same Islamic face. But, the usual fools will tell us all that Islam is a religion of peace, and do all they can to bring in yet more.
Islam is no one’s friend, and is fully engaged in warcraft by any means for only one goal – power and control. Any connection made with Muslims is an opening of the gates for the invasion.
Every totalitarian movement needs its useful idiots.
The nose of the camel is followed by its uterus.
The Islamic uterus is the atomic cannon of procreation. Four wives, ten or twelve whelps from each each. Unlimited divorces [ #1. Turn to Mecca. 2. Utter “I divorce you“. three times and it’s over. Time to scout out a hot nine year old. ]
The Incompatibility of Islam has never been overcome by any means other than military. They won’t have it any other way.
All true, but how do the Christians respond? As always, they turn the other cheek and preach tolerance. So don’t complain. In large part, we brought it upon ourselves.
Another perfect example of a nation engaged in its own self-destruction. It won’t be long before honor killing will be legal in America. It won’t be long before children can be married off at 6, 10, or 12 years of age. It won’t be long before any woman who commits adultery, will be stoned to death. It won’t be long before the dress code for all Americans will be changed to conform to Sharia Law. Isn’t a diversified society wonderful?
Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Biden are doing a great job destroying America. Maybe the Muslims will put up statutes in your honor when they occupy the White House.
All true, but the Muslims are willing to fight and die to advance their values, and the Christians aren’t. Christianity is a religion of comfort. So guess who wins! Yes, Biden, Obama and Pelosi are destroying America. But who elected them to do that? We, the people…
I agree with your reply. I will say two things regarding American elections. The American people do not take the time to really study the candidates for primary elections. Second, the American people continue to vote for whomever provides the most benefits. I would like to see a real third political party that I can support, instead of the Democrats and Republicans holding office at the present time.
