Kamala Harris has two cards. And she plays them all the time.


	During her failed presidential campaign, she repeatedly accused opponents, include Biden, and voters who didn't support her,&nbsp;of racism and sexism.


	Embracing the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and restoring the abortion question to the states, Kamala is playing the same old tune. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/02/politics/kamala-harris-essence-festival/index.html">Only worse</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday drew a connection between&nbsp;the Supreme Court&nbsp;overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling to the legacy of the US government “trying to claim ownership over human bodies” during an appearance at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
</blockquote>


	Comparing abortion laws to slavery at a black event is really something even for Kamala.


	There's room to make the comparison largely because in both cases the government, in response to vocal lobbying from interested groups, decided that a certain group of human beings had no rights and could be harmed with no recourse.


	The legal analogy between babies and slaves is fairly obvious.


	Kamala however is trying to argue that limiting the right of people to kill their babies is the government&nbsp;“trying to claim ownership over human bodies”.


	Mind you, this is coming from the same administration that decided to&nbsp;“claim ownership over human bodies” by demanding that millions of people take a vaccine.

The official story is that Hunter Biden may have been smoking crack and soliciting half the world's oligarchs, including those in Communist China, but there was no government angle to it.


	Somehow all that money was being thrown at a crackhead due to his native talents, not who his father was.


	The 'firewall' between Hunter and Joe Biden has been repeatedly dented by revelations from the laptop.


	And these latest revelations show that Hunter was<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/02/hunter-bidens-laptop-had-contacts-for-google-execs-us-officials-for-china-policy/"> actively collecting</a> the information of key US officials in a position to aid his Chinese business interests.

<blockquote>
	
		Hunter Biden’s hard drive contained an enviable lineup of contacts for top US officials tasked with overseeing the US-China relationship...
</blockquote>


	The list apparently included...

<blockquote>
	
		Bruce Quinn — who is listed in the hard drive as a “Director for Implementation” at the US Trade Representative office of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan — said he had no idea why he would be among the names in the hard drive.

	
		“I have never met him. I can’t even imagine,” Quinn told The Post. “Back then I used to go to all kinds of conferences and seminars. There is no doubt he could have attended one of the events with me.”

	
		All of the others named as US-China contacts in Hunter’s address book either declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment from The Post. They include:

	
		Thomas Parker, a special advisor to the vice president for national security affairs

	
		Sarah E. Kemp, who served as a commercial counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing

	
		Patrick Mulloy, former commissioner&nbsp;of the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission
</blockquote>


	If you're going to do business in China, these would be good people to know. But they would also be very good people to know if you're a Chinese company that wants to do business with America or with Americans. And these people would be a whole lot more likely to pay attention to the Veep's son than to some random lawyer.

Insurrection.


	I've said it before, let me say it again, if a judge in any apolitical case were being targeted at his or her home with angry protests and death threats, those responsible would very quickly be in prison and the protests would be shut down by a heavy law enforcement presence.&nbsp;


	This is happening because the Biden administration and its allies, which include Gov. Hogan, refuse to enforce the law.


	At this point we're far past a discussion in "right-wing media". The Supreme Court has directly requested and been turned down by, among others, Gov. Hogan, who <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-asks-maryland-officials-stop-picketing-justices-houses-rcna36460">keeps prattling about</a> "political norms".

<blockquote>
	
		Gail Curley, the&nbsp;Supreme Court’s marshal, has written to the governors of Maryland and Virginia and local officials in suburban Washington, D.C., asking them to enforce state and county laws that prohibit picketing at&nbsp;private homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

	
		In the letter to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, she said laws in his state prohibits assembling “with another in a manner that disrupts a person’s right to tranquility in the person’s home,” and provides a penalty of up to 90 days in jail.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	A "Republican".

<blockquote>
	
		“Since then, protest activity at justices’ homes, as well as threatening activity, has only increased,” Curley said in the letter, with large groups using bullhorns and banging drums.&nbsp;“This is exactly the kind of conduct that Maryland and Montgomery County laws prohibit.”
</blockquote>


	And if right-wing protesters were doing this at Kagan and Sotomayor's homes, there would be action.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		In a letter to Marc Elrich, the executive of Montgomery County, Curley said a separate county law prohibits picketing “in front of or adjacent to any private residence.”&nbsp;She noted that the author of the county ordinance has urged county officials to enforce the law against protesters who gather outside the justices’ homes.

	
		Both letters to the Maryland officials were dated&nbsp;Friday.&nbsp;The marshal also sent letters Saturday to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, and Jeffrey McKay, chair of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in Northern Virginia, where other justices' live, asking for enforcement of a similar Virginia law.
</blockquote>


	Virginia may or may not enforce the laws on a state level, Gov Hogan and Elrich have made it clear that they won't.

<blockquote>
	
		The response from Maryland officials was lukewarm.&nbsp;In a statement on Saturday, Hogan’s office said the Maryland Attorney General's office has questioned the constitutionality of the state’s anti-picketing law, and noted that the Justice Department has declined to enforce federal laws that would stop the demonstrations.

	
		“In light of the continued refusal by multiple federal entities to act, the governor has directed Maryland state police to further review enforcement options that respect the First Amendment and the Constitution,” said Michael Ricci, Hogan's communications director.
</blockquote>


	The Federal entities in question are under the control of the Biden administration which supports active intimidation of justices. But that has nothing to do with Hogan's refusal to do so.


	The First Amendment does not protect harassing people in their homes. It certainly does not protect intimidating judges in their homes.


	There are laws on the books here. State and local officials are deliberately refusing to enforce them because they support the intimidation.&nbsp;

It is a superb reference book with a sound foundation, using multiple translations. It is detailed. All of the knotty problems are solved by direct scholarly&nbsp;references. 
	 
	In&nbsp;The Critical Qur’an, Spencer clarifies the problems that cloud our understanding of the Qur’an, which lurches from one subject to the next. Ideas come out of nowhere with no context. Topics - like “hell” - repeat again and again and again.&nbsp;&nbsp;The constant repetition is tiresome.


	There is no recognition of time in the Qur’an.&nbsp;The chapters are laid out in order of their length, not in a time sequence.&nbsp;&nbsp;It starts with the longest chapter and ends with the shortest. To add to the confusion, it uses many strange names and foreign terms. Basically, it is unintelligible, confusing, repetitive and filled with hate towards the Unbelievers. 
	 
	<img height="365" width="279" style="float: left;" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="1" src="https://cms.frontpagemag.com/sites/default/files/uploads/2021/10/rs_1.jpg" alt="" />The most problematic to most non-Muslim readers is that the Qur’an presents contradictory ideas.&nbsp;One verse will teach tolerance and the next will call for the death of the Unbelievers.&nbsp;Islamic ethics are contradictory or dualistic, with one set of rules for dealing with other Muslims and another set of rules for the Unbelievers.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
	 
	So no one can understand the Qur’an by simply reading it.&nbsp;There must be&nbsp;auxiliary&nbsp;commentators, exegetes,&nbsp;in order to find meaning in the words of Allah. Robert Spencer guides us through the mire of this contradictory and perplexing work using all the tools of exemplary scholarship.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
	 
	First, there are many translations of the Qur’an. Broadly speaking, all these translations fall into two categories - soft and harsh. Here is an example using Qur’an 4:34:

<blockquote>
	
		Men are in charge of women, because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend of their property. So good women are obedient, guarding in secret what Allah has guarded. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, give them a warning and banish them to separate beds, and beat them. Then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them. Indeed, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Allah is always high, exalted, great.
</blockquote>


	If the Qur’an you use says “beat lightly," then it is a soft translation.&nbsp;Spencer resolves the fallacious argument that what is needed to make the Qur’an understandable is a better translation.&nbsp;&nbsp;The practical method he uses in his book gives the reader no less than twelve other translations of this verse in order to compare versions and see how they have been changed. 
	 
	The main translation he provides is&nbsp;clear, free of the obfuscation that mars so many others.And the numerous footnotes in&nbsp;The Critical Qur’an&nbsp;function as the clarifying agents for the contradictory ideas. 
	 
	The word&nbsp;“critical” in the title&nbsp;The Critical Qur’an&nbsp;is exceedingly important. The approach to knowledge in Western Civilization is analytical and rational, and uses the process of critical thought. There are no forbidden ideas in critical or analytic thinking. Critical thought is the approach which Robert Spencer uses to examine the details of Islam’s most holy book in order to find out the truth of its meaning. 
	 
	Truth, however, has no meaning in authoritative knowledge.&nbsp;Truth is determined by the correct authority (Islamic doctrine) where there are only thoughts and actions that are&nbsp;“allowed” (halal) and those that are “forbidden” (haram). 
	 
	Authoritarians forbid critical thought for the simple reason that it cannot co-exist with authoritative thinking. Muslims forbid critical thinking by threatening and inducing fear. Apologists for Islam forbid critical thinking by censorship on the basis that offending any minority is a social evil. The offending speech, or Islamophobia, is considered bigoted and must be suppressed.


	Critical thinking exists by debate. Critical thinkers seek truth through the friction of debate in order to tease out the resolution of an idea.&nbsp;Authoritative knowledge forbids debate. Those who want to debate are demeaned and insulted or simply locked out of the venue. Both political correctness and Islam agree that only&nbsp;“allowed” opinions may be expressed and&nbsp;“forbidden” opinions are declared to be a moral evil. 
	 
	Notice that these different points of view that cannot be reconciled. There is no possible resolution between the view of the West and Islam. The apologists of Islam try to bring about a bridge building compromise, but it is not logically possible.


	According to Islam, the Qur’an is a book of the exact words of the only god of the universe, Allah.&nbsp;It is complete, perfect, eternal and universal.


	The concepts of&nbsp;Islam&nbsp;are limited to Qur’an and Sunna of Mohammed. No logical conclusions can violate the&nbsp;Qur’an.


	The Islamic civilization has an authoritarian intellectual basis in which no idea may contradict the Qur’an or Sunna of Mohammed.&nbsp;Period. 
	 
	The Critical Qur’an&nbsp;is not just a well-researched scholarly book, but it is also a weapon in an ideological war, a civilizational war of ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;For 1,400 years, there has been physical war, of “blood and swords” between Islam and the Kafir world.&nbsp;&nbsp;No one has fought harder or longer to save our civilization than Robert Spencer.&nbsp;He is not only a powerful intellectual thinker and writer but he is also a brilliant and courageous warrior.


	I only wish this book had been written 25 years ago. It would have saved me from the time-consuming intellectual work of cutting through the thickets and underbrush of tedious research.

The New York Times published The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones that says the Revolutionary War was fought to preserve slavery. Slavery made the U.S. wealthy. The US original sin was racism. Our culture is built on racism and is an unchangeable part of our society.


	The 1619 Project is based on CRT, cultural Marxist critical race theory -- only white racism matters and it is systemic in the U.S. It maintains that all blacks are victims (still slaves) and all white people are privileged oppressors (still masters). So there must be monetary and socialized atonement. This theory denigrates the black person as one who is unable to function without help from who? The rest of the world. The 1619 Project is a racist document.


	Historians are finding many errors in the 1619 Project but the most glaring errors are what they are not finding -- what is missing. The 1619 Project history of slavery in the U.S. doesn’t mention that the Native American tribes had slaves when the Europeans came. In fact, slavery was the custom throughout recorded history worldwide. Instead, we’re told that US history starts with the arrival of the first ships with slaves to our shores. But where exactly did these slaves come from?&nbsp;


	The history of African slavery in the US began with US merchants purchasing them on the West Coast of Africa from Muslim slave dealers. Due to Islamic jihad, the slave pens were filled with Africans. Part of the jihad battle booty was taking the conquered people as slaves.


	Now there was a reason that the slave traders were Muslim. According to Islamic doctrine, all believers must emulate the Islamic prophet Mohammed who traded slaves, wholesaled and retailed slaves, gave and received slaves as gifts. He had Arab slaves, black slaves, white slaves, Christian and Jewish slaves. He had sex slaves. Slavery is enshrined in Islamic doctrine and is still practiced today. But this part of the 1619 Project history is left out.


	Nikole Hannah-Jones probably doesn’t know about the Islamic doctrine of slavery. Few black people do. I taught for years at a historically black university, and there was sensitivity to the history of slavery, but only slavery based on the evil white men on wooden ships on the west coast of Africa. The professors and the students knew almost nothing about the history of jihad and Islamic slavery around the world.&nbsp;


	Ignorance of the history of Islamic slavery could be seen at a talk I went to hear by a freed slave, Francis Bok, at Vanderbilt University. Only a handful of Blacks attended.


	Mohammed’s first action as a wholesale slave dealer came in 617 AD when he conquered the third and last Jewish tribe in Medina. Hundreds of male Jews were executed, the children adopted into Muslim families. The women were wholesaled and the money used to buy armor, swords and horses for jihad.


	Muslims have been in the slave business a thousand years before 1619. So Nicole Hannah-Jones needs to write a new book: The 617 Project.


	Is there any book written about the worldwide history of slavery? If not, it’s time for one. And it should include the bloody history of Islamic slavery of blacks, whites, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and other religious adherents.&nbsp;


	Slavery is an eternal part of the Islamic doctrine and still practiced by Muslims today.

I find the biggest shift of thought in my 80 years of life is censorship. I want to share with you my personal experiences.


	I have spoken as an expert on Political Islam in the US, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Serbia, Macedonia, Slovakia, Kosovo, Poland, and Israel. I have spoken in the Danish Parliament and the German Bundestag. I have advised European Parliament members, politicians, heads of intelligence agencies and a future prime minister. I prepared white papers on Political Islam for the FBI.


	Let me clarify my methodology. All Islamic political and religious doctrine is found in 3 texts – Koran, traditions of Mohammed (Hadith) and life of Mohammed (the Sira). The only ideas that I speak about come from Allah and Mohammed. Political Islam is the part of Islamic doctrine that deals with the non-Muslim, the Kafir. Oddly enough, more Islamic doctrinal text is devoted to politics than religion.


	My books sold like crazy. I was selling books by the tens of thousands.&nbsp; My Sharia Law for Non-Muslims was a #1 best seller on Islamic law on Amazon. My video “Why We Are Afraid” had millions of views on YouTube. YouTube contacted me and assigned a staff member to me to teach me how to make better videos. When you Googled “political Islam” my work filled the first 4 screens. It is impossible to dominate a topic to that degree, but I did it. What made it possible was the fact that I defined and popularized the term “Political Islam.”&nbsp; Offers to lecture and for print and internet interviews poured in.


	But a storm cloud appeared on the horizon. The Tennessean newspaper put out a Sunday front page article which said that I was an anti-Muslim bigot and a hater. This was followed by several other attack pieces. An organization called the SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center, (the SPLC is not a civil rights group, is not southern, is not poor and is not a law center) declared that I was one of the biggest bigots in the US. Indeed, the SPLC said Nashville was a hate city because I live here.


	Then the media tornado hit. Media Matters, a George Soros funded leftist group, had a meeting in Florida. The SPLC was the centerpiece presenter said that people such as me should be driven out of business. My #1 best seller on Amazon disappeared, YouTube deleted my 8 million view “Why We Are Afraid” video. My videos were demonetized. Master Card said I could not use their logo. PayPal canceled my account. Face Book shadow banned me. Twitter shadow banned me. (Shadow banning is the censoring method of posting an entry, but not letting your fans know you have posted.) The latest insult is that the company who handles my mailing list has started to freeze accounts because of their clients’ politics.&nbsp; Then, they destroy their mailing list. Go Daddy, my web site domain registrar began to freeze organizations without notice. As a result, I must be prepared to have the same done to me and prepare disaster procedures.


	But this attack was not personal. Anyone who speaks on the topic of Islam in any factual way is accused of being a racist, hater, bigot and Islamophobe. We are banned and attacked.


	There is one lie about my work which angers me. I am called anti-Muslim. I have written over a dozen books, made hundreds of videos, written many newsletters, and I challenge anyone to find a single sentence where I have spoken ill of any Muslim, including Mohammed. My methodology is to show how Islamic doctrine drives the actions and thoughts of Muslims. I address ideas, words on paper. Muslims are people and I do not malign, ridicule or criticize them. Now, I will speak harshly about non-Muslims who support and defend Islam. Islam is a complete civilization, a culture, a religion and a political system.&nbsp; I do not lecture or write about the religion of Islam but deal only with the doctrine of Political Islam.


	I gave a talk at Vanderbilt University on “A Statistical Analysis of Islam’s Foundational Texts,” a sound academic topic. When I finished my talk, a man stood up in the back of the room and began shouting at the top of his lungs. He said that I was a racist and should never be allowed to speak in any college. Note: he did not criticize anything I had said, but only screamed that I was a racist. It is not that I am wrong, but I am immoral. I am not stupid and wrong; I am a racist bigot. The man was a professor who taught about the religion of Islam in the Arabic and Islamic Studies Department.


	He got his wish. Today no one is allowed to speak on any campus about political Islam. If you tried to bring me to a university, there would be riots and demonstrations. Campuses no longer deal in critical thought, but indoctrination.


	Facts are no longer the bedrock of reason in many cases. A woman was taken to an EU court for hate speech.&nbsp; She had offended a Muslim for making a factual statement about Islam. But in the EU court, it was ruled that the words may be factual, but if they offended a protected class, in this case Muslims, the speaker should be fined.


	All of this bothers me, not about being personally abused, but that increasingly facts and critical thought are not the foundation of our civilization. Screaming, insults, persecution of opponents, and hatred are used instead of discussion and debate. And worse, we are being trained to self-censor, the ultimate censorship.


	Censorship is totalitarian, and today it attacks what are called conservatives and libertarians. &nbsp;However, once censorship is in place, the day will come when the sword will cut the other way.


	I take a certain pride that the largest and most powerful companies in the world: Google, You Tube, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Mastercard, PayPal, Go Daddy, SPLC and Mail Chimp, find my ideas irrefutable and believe that I am a nail that must be driven down. They cannot debate me, so I must be attacked. If you judge a man by his enemies, and I do, I am a magnificent success.


	All it takes for evil to succeed is the silence of good people. I will not be silent.

Censorship: A Personal Story

I find the biggest shift of thought in my 80 years of life is censorship. I want to share with you my personal experiences.


	I have spoken as an expert on

<a href="/sites/default/files/uploads/2010/08/mosque2.jpg"><img title="mosque" src="/sites/default/files/uploads/2010/08/mosque2.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="316" /></a>
One of the most common arguments of the supporters of the Ground Zero mosque includes religious freedom as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Religion is seen as the framework to support building a mosque and community center near the site of the former World Trade Towers. Is this really about religion? Step back and look at the controversy. Do you feel like you are taking part in a religious exercise or a political fracas?
There is a vast confusion about what a religion is and is not. Currently the operative rule is that anything associated with Islam is a religious affair where all of the freedom of religion is applied to the action or event. Islam’s actions are religious and if you oppose it, you are an un-American bigot.
It is time to stop and take a look at what we mean by a religion. There are about as many Buddhists in America today as there are Muslims. When was the last time you remember a Buddhist demand of any kind? Do Buddhists set up councils to shape the textbooks and demand Buddhist finance? Does the government make a big announcement when Buddhists are appointed to high posts? Are there even any Buddhists in any White House appointments? Do Buddhists complain? Never, for these are political actions, and Buddhism has almost no political outreach. Buddhism in America is purely religious, not political at all.
Yet the media and the Internet are consumed by talk and argument about Islam. The discussion is never about how many rounds of prayer to do or whether a certain food is halal (religiously proper). No, the focus is always on something that non-Muslims are to do to accommodate an Islamic religious practice.
There is a practical working definition of religion as compared to politics. Religious practices are done by those who follow that religion and are motivated for achieving paradise and avoiding hell. Outsiders are not involved in those religious acts. If it is about going to heaven and avoiding hell, then it is religious. However, if the religion makes a demand on those outside of its own group, then that demand is political.
Most people think that the Koran is a religious text. Instead, 64% of the text (by word count) is about non-Muslims, who are called Kafirs. The Koran is fixated on Kafirs and makes many demands on them. Not the least is that Kafirs submit to the rule of Islamic Sharia law. Ultimately Sharia law is the pure expression of Islamic politics and it completely contradicts our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Under Sharia there is no freedom of speech, wives may be beaten and apostates murdered.
Mohammed had little success with Islam until he transformed it into a political system. He preached the religion of Islam in Mecca for 13 years and made about 150 converts. He left Meccan and moved to Medina. In Medina he turned to politics and jihad. In the last 9 years of his life, Mohammed was involved in an event of violence on the average of every 6 weeks. The political method persuaded every Arab to convert to Islam. The religion did not succeed; it was politics that made Islam powerful.
Some actions are purely political or religious. Applying building codes to a mosque building is political and praying in a mosque is religious. The problem comes when both religion and politics are involved. A spectacular example is the jihad attack on September 11, 2001. It was a political action with a religious motivation.
Building a mosque in New York is a religious act, but deciding to place it at Ground Zero is political. The religious function could be accomplished at many other places. The political function is uniquely served at Ground Zero.
Islam has a 1400-year history of building mosques. The first mosque built by Mohammed was built on a Kafir graveyard in Medina. The bodies were removed and dumped. In India Islam has built thousands of mosques on Hindu temple sites. The mosque in Damascus was built on the site of a cathedral. Was it just random luck that directed the location of these mosques? No, these were political decisions about political dominance.
What is odd is that only non-Muslim Kafirs think that Islam is only a religion. Any Muslim will tell you that Islam is a complete way of life—political, religious and cultural. All of this is made exceedingly clear by Sharia law.
If a demand by Muslims makes Kafirs have to change to accommodate it, then it is a political demand by a religious group. A political demand requires a political response. Instead we get an insistence that Islam’s demands are “religious” and must be given the free pass.
Religious Islam is no problem for any non-Muslim, but Political Islam is a problem for everybody. We cannot solve the problems of Political Islam and Sharia law by insisting that they do not exist and that everything about Islam is religious. Grant any and all of the religious freedoms of this nation to the religion of Islam, but we must not grant a single inch to the demands of Political Islam.
