Remember when Congressmembers would actually appeal on behalf of the human rights of actual political dissidents, not terrorists, murderers and enemies of the United States?
The Arab Spring and its horrors are mostly in the rearview mirror but the Muslim Brotherhood and its imitators are not gone and they haven’t given up. And the D.C. political class has not given up on Islamists.
After the arrest of Tunisia’s Islamist leader Rashid Ghannouchi, House Democrats, under the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a statement “following the sudden arrest of #Tunisia’s opposition leader, Rachid al-Ghannouchi”. The statement blathers on about “forcibly closures of political party offices and bans on free assembly of certain political groups” without ever mentioning that those certain groups are Islamists and quite dangerous.
The pro-Ghannouchi statement was issued by Rep. Gregory Meeks and Rep. Dean Philips. They neglect to mention anything about the monster they’re defending.
And for good reason. Ghannouchi is an enemy of America and the free world.
“We must wage unceasing war against the Americans until they leave the land of Islam, or we will burn and destroy all their interests across the entire Islamic world,” al-Ghannouchi was quoted as saying. “Muslim youth must be serious in their warning to the Americans that a blow to Iraq will be a license to strike American and Western interests throughout the Islamic world.”
In 2009, Al-Ghannouchi ruffled feather on television when he praised Palestinian terrorism as “wonderful” and said that he admires rockets fired at Israel by a Palestinian terror outfit known as the Al Qassam Brigades.
In other television appearances, the sheikh has praised the mothers of suicide bombers.
“I would like to send my blessings to the mothers of those youth, those men who succeeded in creating a new balance of power,” he said, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “I bless the mothers who planted in the blessed land of Palestine the amazing seeds of these youths, who taught the international system and the Israeli arrogance, supported by the U.S., an important lesson. The Palestinian woman, mother of the Shahids [martyrs], is a martyr herself, and she has created a new model of woman.”
And that escalated to an outright call for genocide.
Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi, of Tunisia’s equally moderate Islamist Ennahda Movement, said, “There are no civilians in Israel. The population—males, females and children—are the army reserve soldiers, and thus can be killed.”
This is what Meeks and Philips and the Democrats are defending.
Raising a new generation of terrorists.
Let’s see, ant-American, anti-Israel, Islamist, violent. Why WOULDN’T Democrats support him and his party?
This sort of anti-American thinking would not have been tolerated by either party until after 9/11. It’s amazing how quickly the democratic party has embraced groups that hate America and our political system, Judeo-Christian heritage, and our culture. No way would a politician have stood up for leaders or groups who hate America from our founding through to the insanity that started after that day. Bush started it all by inventing the never-to-come backlash against Muslims in America and soft-peddling the groups in that religion who hate us
>This sort of anti-American thinking would not have been tolerated by either party until after 9/11
It was tolerated and parlayed with by Brother Johnathan and his squad of Episcopalians, Quakers, Presbyterians and other Northern Yankee denominations as early as the late 1800’s. Most presidents and all WASP high-culture institutions from the 60’s, onwards opened the door to this crap a little more at a time until Bush and Obama threw it open completely. Oh, dont forget the 1965 Immigration Reform Act. We’re all Eurabians now.
which is the greatest threat to america?
islam and muslims or the democrat party?????????
The Left absolutely supports the idea of self government.
If the selves on the Left are to govern the selves who aren’t, is that not technically self government?
Of course it is. And the Left will accept nothing less. Their uncontestably superior moral standards combine with their divine infallibility to preclude any other arrangement.
Don’t take my word for it. Just ask them.
Democrat Lemmings running off the Cliff is larger numbers then ever
