Like his curious counterpart, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson wants you to relax. When asked in an interview published Saturday about a TPUSA poll showing that AmFest ranked “radical Islam” as the greatest threat to America, Carlson responded in a way that is becoming habitual for him: he blamed the Jews. At the same time, he downplayed the idea that there was much of any threat coming from Islam, radical or otherwise, at all.
The claim that there is such a threat, Carlson claimed, “comes from the Israeli government and its many defenders and informal employees in the United States, of course.” Carlson didn’t explain whether he thought that the Israeli government had actually masterminded the jihad attacks that have taken place in the United States in recent years, faking the entire thing, or was just exaggerating the threat those attacks represented for its own purposes. Unfortunately, he wasn’t asked.
Instead, Carlson went on to downplay the jihad threat by relating it to his personal experience:
I mean, I don’t know how they responded to the poll. I don’t know who answered it, but I believe in measuring reality a little more empirically. And I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam. I do know a lot of people who have killed themselves. I know people who’ve died of drug ODs, more than a few. I know people who can’t get jobs. None of the boys in my daughter’s class can get jobs, none of those white boys can get jobs. They’re being destroyed by Adderall and video games and porn.
Giving the devil his due, I would be remiss if I didn’t note that Carlson’s point here has been widely misrepresented. He did not claim that there have been no Americans killed in jihad attacks over the last 24 years. He just said that he didn’t know anyone personally who was killed in a jihad attack, and was trying to give the impression that this meant that such attacks are vanishingly rare, and that there are a great many problems that are more pressing.
What Carlson doesn’t acknowledge, and likely does not know, is that the threat from “radical Islam” that he downplays is much bigger than he thinks, for it is not actually “radical” at all, but quite mainstream. All the major sects of Islam and schools of Islamic jurisprudence teach that Muslims must wage war against non-Muslims and subjugate them under the hegemony of Islamic law. This is not a “hijacking” of Islam or the twisted view of a tiny sect; whether or not any individual Muslim acts upon it, it is a central teaching of the dominant strains of Islam.
Also, the jihad threat is difficult to detect and to guard against because jihadis move in and among peaceful Muslims, and contrary to popular belief, there is all too often no readily discernible way to distinguish them. Tucker may survey one Muslim community or another in the U.S., and walk away satisfied that it is full of “moderates,” but according to a saying attributed to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268)
Tucker, however, is clearly in no mood to consider such matters. He thinks that his all-purpose whipping boy, the Israelis, have wildly exaggerated, if not fabricated outright, the threat of “radical Islam.” Yet while one can imagine that Tucker’s designated enemies could conceivably have mounted false flags in Boston, Fort Hood, San Bernardino, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and all the many other places where Islamic jihadis have drawn blood inside the United States, what does Tucker Carlson think is the reason for jihad attacks in Thailand, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, and everywhere else that Islamic jihadis strike with lethal regularity?
Does he think that the entire worldwide jihad since 9/11 — all 48,000 jihad attacks and counting — were all Israeli operations designed to manipulate the United States into thinking it needed to devote time, money, and resources to combating this nonexistent threat? If so, the whole endeavor has been a massive failure, for the United States government takes no official notice whatsoever of the jihad threat as such, and hasn’t since 2011, when Barack Obama ordered the removal of all mention of Islam and jihad from counterterror training. Those dastardly Israelis have created their massive sham threat for nothing.
Or maybe Tucker Carlson is, for his own purposes, refusing to see the obvious, even as it stares him in the face.
Tucker Carlson by his own words he had exposed just how ignorant he really is because those two words “Radical Islam” ? is Western term that is unknown that is Middle East. As the devout Muslims President of Turkey had said it best, for he, rightly declared that ” Islam is Islam.”
Furthermore, because of Islam, Muslim terrorists jihad malicious murderous jihad violence will continue because of the basic root ideology of Islamic terrorists is based on the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an. For the Qu ‘ran instructs in the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false, dangerous and deadly religion.
Frankly, Tucker Carlson had spoken the truth when he said “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam.”
This reason why his statement is accurate is because when a Muslim terrorist in America , or in some other country , murdered someone or a group of people , that Muslim terrorist didn’t killing anyone because he was practicing, what Westerners call “Radical Islam.,” that Islamic terrorist was engaging in Qur ‘an based Islam, ,as found in for example, Surah 2::191. 4:89. 9;5,123. 47:4.
For what Westerners term “Radical Islam” is actually “hard core” non-watered down Islam which has the Qur’ an as its foundation.
Furthermore, what Westerners call “moderate” Islam” is a watered non- violent form of Islam. The followers of the former, Qur ‘an based Islam, that so called “Radical Islam detest the followers of the later ,and even call them hypocrites . As reflected in the Muslim terrorist group chant, which is “Death to infidels and hypocrites.”
The problem is, I would have agreed with you until I remembered Steven Sotloff. So Tucker was not accurate or telling the truth even about that. He memory holed a loyal contractor who died at the hands of Daesh and made a big show of eulogizing just so he could continue his flavor of Jew hating appeasement.
Tucker Carlson is a speaker of Balderdash.
For those two words put together which is “Radical Islam ” that is a Western term which is unknown in the Middle East Likewise the term “Islamic extremists”is also a Western term that the Muslim of the middle East don’t have. Therefore ,what Westerners might seen as a “Radical Muslim ” or as a “Islamic extremist,” most Muslims of the Middle East seen fron an Islamic worldview would considered to be a “devout Muslim” or a “Muslim totally committed to Islam.
“Radical Islam” ? It’s best to forget about the Western term. For the devout Muslims President of Turkey had said it best, For he, rightly declared that ” Islam is Islam.”
I didn’t personally know any American killed in the USA by “radical” Islam, but it’s impossible not to know that Muslims have murdered thousands of Americans in the pursuit of their dogma, just in the last two decades.
Unfortunately, I do know someone (9/11) who was killed by radical Islam but I’ll refrain from expressing my raw and unfiltered opinions about it.
Tucker Carlson is an Islamo-Nazi scumbag for Hamas and Iran and a traitor to America and Western Civilization. Carlson deserves to die and spend eternity in hell with his hero, Yaya Sinwar. Nothing else needs to be said about him
I find it impossible to believe that Tucker is unaware of what is happening in Europe or that he could be oblivious to what is happening in Michigan, Minnesota, NYC, Texas or even Florida. So, what gives? Maybe it is true that he is owned by foreign interests, as some suggest. The whole lot of them are suspect – Tucker, Candace and Fuentes. Patrick Byrne said Candace is owned by corporate interests. Chevron, I believe, but I am not sure I accurately recall which corporate interest. These are not stupid people. I suspect there is more to the story.
tucker , another purposely ignorant useful idiot . fame , if you could call it that has deteriorated his grey matter . he is now an empty husk of stupid .
Oh yeah, well I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by pancreatic cancer. So I guess that must mean no one has died from it. Whether or not I know one is completely irrelevant to the issue of whether pancreatic cancer is a problem.
Muslims who cause all the carnage are not radical at all; they are doctrinaire Koran literalists. A true radical Muslim is one who goes around advocating for peaceful coexistence with non-believers, aka infidels. Actually, there are very few radical Muslims because most Muslims understand that advocating for peaceful coexistence is a sure way to lose your noggin.
Maybe if Carlson took off his Blinders he would see somethings the rest of use notice
Tucker Carlson belongs in the “has been” room. Why would decent people even listen to him?
That’s like saying “I don’t know anyone that has been killed with a gun in Chicago”……… I think Carlson has been “Drudged”…. paid off by the left…. Going to build a house in Qatar? C’mon man…. I think Carlson’s bank account grew big time with Qatar money
Candace and Tucker and few others are anomalies of nature. They are entertainers. Found their nitch to stay in lime light and make money. God forbid, those who live by sword die by sword. Hope these two will survive!
Tucker (and Candice) have been sniffing too much glue lately…
There is no radical Islamofascism. The entire cult is the same hateful people
Dear Tucker…. seems you missed this obscure source of research on this topic.

I never liked Tucker Carlson when he was on Fox News, and I still don’t like him as a so called independent.
He’s controlled opposition.
Tucker Carlson with his talk about “Radical Islam” is revealing that he must be a very ignorant man.
For many scholars on Islam ,such as Brigitte Gabriel and Robert Spencer, had explain that the terms “Radical Islam” and “Moderate Islam” Western terms and are unknown to the Islamic world. As one of their leader said “Islam is Islam”
Furthermore, a Muslim in an Islamic country would view that a Westerner would call a “Radical Muslim” in a Muslim nation he would be seen as a “devote Muslim” who is totally committed to the cause of Islam by the way of the violent jihad,
By contrast what a Westerner would call a “moderate Muslim’ many Muslims in Asia as well as the Middle East call a Muslim who is not really living up to his faith in Islam by not taking up arms in the violence and killing of the jihad for Islam.
Therefore many of Muslim, overseas , would call him a “hypocrite” This is way many devote Muslim who are violent jihadists gather together in a group and chant “Death to infidels and hypocrites ” Meaning “Death to non-Muslims and non-violent, jihadist Muslims.
Tucker surges in the national Islamopandering derby.
Doha knew that Tucker was a compromised freelancer and was “for sale” in spite of his claims to the contrary. When you betray your friends for ideological and monetary motivations, including
people who supported and trusted you, then even your enemies don’t respect you. Tucker can be the big player until the defining moment arrives and the house calls in his bets. His bug out shack in Doha may not be the field of dreams he thinks it is.
