Muslim Spokesman Qasim Rashid Says It’s “Islamophobic” to Notice Fresno Shooter Screamed “Allahu Akbar”

Ahmadi spokesman Qasim Rashid has claimed that when a Muslim named Kori Ali Muhammad murdered three people in Fresno last week while screaming “Allahu akbar,” there was an uptick in “Islamophobia”: “The response to his acts erupted in anti-Muslim hate and bigotry on social media – only because he allegedly said ‘Allahu akbar’ to police….Far-right influencers are pushing the anti-Muslim narrative, and once again ‘Allahu akbar’ began trending on Twitter with a wave of Islamophobic messages.”

Horror of horrors! So now it’s “Islamophobic” to notice that a jihad killer screamed “Allahu akbar” after committing mass murder.

This is a new low for Qasim Rashid, who is a longtime professional liar, or as Pamela Geller calls him, “a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy.” He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s sanction of beating disobedient women; lied about the nature of Sharia; called for limitations on the freedom of speech and expression to outlaw behavior and speech some Muslims may find offensive; and lied about Muhammad’s stance toward the persecution of Christians. When challenged about the “facts” he has presented, he (like virtually all other Islamic supremacists) responds with furious ad hominem contempt, but never answers the refutations of his articles on substantive grounds — because, of course, he cannot do so.

There are so many lies in his exercise in moral equivalence and deception regarding the Fresno shooter, it is breathtaking. One wonders how such a serially dishonest man as Qasim Rashid can stand to look at himself in the mirror — but of course, Muhammad said, “War is deceit,” so Rashid is just following orders.

Rashid first sketches out the story of a man named Cedric Anderson, “a former Christian pastor” who murdered his estranged wife and a child and then killed himself. He was, Rashid says, “known for yelling out religious slogans. Shortly before the slayings, he publicly praised his god and guns on Facebook.” Rashid complains that “despite his history of violence and religious fanaticism, you probably didn’t know Anderson was a Christian or a criminal. In fact, you might have thought I was speaking of Kori Ali Muhammad (whose previous name was Cory Taylor) who has been accused of killing three people in California; this time in Fresno.”

Rashid’s exercise in moral equivalence here is exploded by the fact that there is no teaching of any Christian sect calling for killing one’s estranged wife and child. There are, however, numerous teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, as I have detailed many times, calling for violence against non-Muslims.

Rashid goes on: “But police say that when Muhammad was arrested, he yelled ‘Allahu akbar,’ Arabic for ‘God is great.’” Yet as he well knows, “Allahu akbar” is not Arabic for “God is great.” It actually means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god or anything else. It’s a declaration of supremacy which, when uttered during an act of violence, is meant to denote that the wrath of the deity has come upon the victim.

There has already been deception upon deception in his piece, but Rashid is just getting warmed up. “Unlike Anderson,” he claims, “who reportedly was deeply religious, Muhammad reportedly did not attend any mosque, and none of the Fresno Islamic centers had heard of him.”

Rashid presents this as fact, when in reality it is just based on the claims of the Fresno Islamic centers. These claims cannot be taken at face value, since we have seen mosque leaders lie about knowing jihadis before. After a Muslim who supported the Islamic State shot a police officer in Philadelphia, the local mosque leaders initially denied knowing him, but then it turned out they were lying, and the jihadi attended the mosque frequently. The same thing happened after jihadis attacked our free speech event in Garland, Texas: the mosque they attended in Phoenix denied knowing them, but it turned out they were regular members.

Rashid also doesn’t tell you that the Fresno Islamic centers are likely not to have been involved anyway. Kori Ali Muhammad was obviously a member of the Nation of Islam, and so probably wouldn’t be frequenting Sunni mosques in Fresno.

“Fresno police,” Rashid claims, “say Muhammad was motivated by racism, not religion. Still, far-right influencers are pushing the anti-Muslim narrative, and once again ‘Allahu akbar’ began trending on Twitter with a wave of Islamophobic messages.”

He was motivated by racism and religion: the Nation of Islam is an amalgam of Islam and bizarre racist imaginings. But instead of acknowledging the elements of Islam that incite believers to violence, and can incite members of the Nation as well, Rashid characteristically dissembles, and charges that those who took note of Muhammad’s screams of “Allahu akbar” were motivated by “Islamophobia.”

Rashid complains that “Muhammad’s supposed faith is in the spotlight.” “Supposed faith”! As if non-Muslim killers routinely scream “Allahu akbar” while committing murder. Rashid is imagining this “spotlight” in order to claim victim status (yet again) for Muslims. In reality, the establishment media went out of its way, as always, to cover up Muhammad’s religion: AP actively covered for Islam by mistranslating his scream of “Allahu akbar” into English and not bothering to note that he screamed it in Arabic.

The real problem, Rashid says, is white Christian men: “Estimates suggest that white men and Christians make up the majority of mass shooters.”

What estimates? He doesn’t say, and for good reason: this claim is based on a discredited study. Back in June 2015, the New America Foundation published a study that garnered enthusiastic international publicity, as it purported to demonstrate that “right-wing extremists” and “white supremacists” were a larger threat to the U.S. than Islamic jihadis. The New America Foundation study was obviously skewed, as it was based on the number of those killed by jihadis and by right-wing extremists since September 12, 2001, leaving  out 9/11. The study also ignored the many, many foiled jihad plots, and the fact that jihadis are part of an international movement that has killed many thousands of people, while right-wingers and white supremacists are not. It stated that right-wing extremists had killed 48 people from September 12, 2001 to June 2015, while Islamic jihadists had killed only 26 people in the U.S. in that span. If 9/11 had been added, the tally would have been 3,032 killed by Islamic jihadists and 48 by purported right-wing extremists. Even by the New America Foundation’s rules, counting the Orlando jihad massacre, but leaving out 9/11 as the NAF study did, the death toll now stands at 76 killed by Islamic jihadis, and 48 by purported right-wing extremists (I repeat “purported” because to get to its count of 48, the NAF counted as “right-wing” attacks killings that were perpetrated by people who were obviously deranged psychopaths devoid of any ideology). Also, let’s remember: 30,000 jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. How many by Christians acting in accord with Christian teachings?

Qasim Rashid is such a shameless and unapologetic liar that it is a sign of the moral and intellectual decay of the establishment media that they keep giving him a platform, without the slightest hesitation or smallest modicum of skepticism.

Every muslim is a liar, there are six tenets of islam that detail various lies that muslims must tell. Truth is blasphemy in islam if it does not make islam or muslims look good, if it makes them look bad, the blasphemer can be punished with death. muslims always have their asses ,because they expose them five times a day, expecting the world to kiss them, only democrats do, the rest of the world kicks them.

All the numbers that are spouted are meaningless to me. The key word used by Spencer in his article is “inciting.” This incitement has enveloped the Islamic thinking by both inciting Jihadi conduct and by justifying the horrible barbarism that results in injury or death to non-believers. Calling it Islamophobic is the manner in which those of the “politically correct” right and the Islamic belief system avoid recognizing that their purported religion (and I use purported since I see their so-called religion as a political movement devoid of Godliness) is directly related to the “ungodly” activity of the Jihadists. The sooner that reality sinks in here in the states, the sooner we will be able to protect ourselves from the political philosophy that preaches and promotes that only their purported God is the “greatest.” That is what I take from Spencer’s article. All of us reasonable and right thinking people should do likewise.

Well Dennis, You undermined your entire statement when
you limited your statement to “politically right”, only. Who
in the Hell do you think pushes “Political Correctness”?
It is the Left and their “Cultural;-Marxism” that adheres
and promotes PC. It is an intentional manipulation of
Language in order to achieve an agenda. You, Dennis,
are lost, delusional, or Insane to believe otherwise.
Meanwhile, Anyone brandishing a gun and yelling

Sir Winston Churchill on Islam. Still true over 100 years later…

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

We all know the threat posed by Islam and jihadis.

More and more Americans are carrying and are prepared for the threat, at least Americans outside of California where the right to keep and bear arms is not infringed.

Carry daily, train regularly, and be prepared for the 7th-century, cave-dwelling troglodytes intent on murder roaming among us.

Remarkable how stupid these people [Qasim Rashid] will allow themselves to look to protect someone/thing. If the shooter yells Allahu Akbar, but is not a radical Islamist, then the blame is on HIM for shouting what he knows is the one statement which will insure belief that he is a terrorist. It’s on the shooter for using this tactic.. Spokesman be damned, don’t blame everyone else for the acts of a criminal.

The muslim killer yelled what they always yell as they kill the innocent. Wishing instant deafness on the victims, so that they are slaughtered while ignoring what their muslim killer is yelling at them is a completely idiotic thought.

Rashid is currently far in the lead for the grand prize for sheer stupidity for this week, but the week is still young.

The majority of Californians know the Islamofascist led MSM were later pressured to omit the fact that Kori Taylor “Ali Mohammed” screamed Allahu Akbar – the Al Qaeda/ISIS/Jihadis Death chant – and everyone from the Sacramento prisons to Rancho Cordova to Fresno knows this ISIS/Obama Organizing for Action goon is a terrorist. Even if Fresno PD chief Dyer said this is not terrorism (Dyer insists it’s merely racism), that just proves Dyer’s another ignorant California hick cop who failed and will always fail to understand that using RACISM to divide America is the Muslim Brotherhood’s biggest tool. It’s Hegelian, and Dyer is too old to learn new words, concepts or realities. If PD Dyer got on TV and said Kori Taylor Ali Mohammed is racist AND we’re STILL investigating his likely ties to ISIS – he’d have some credibility. Dyer and the Fresno DA were forced by ISIS to /stop using/take down their FB pages in May 2015. ISIS is leading Fresno LE around by a nose-ring. This twit who says it’s not the jihadist death meme is like saying Obama’s ISIS loving terrorism financing CIA director John O. Brennan is not a traitor, when everyone knows he should be hung by his toenails upside down for treason.

About three years ago Obama appointed a “High” Imam

The “Correct” label is “Islamic Jihad Terrorism”.
It is not “Lone Wolf”, that disparages Lupus-Lupus(Wolves),
it is “Lone-Jihadi”. “Islamophobia” is a created term

Don’t forget the KEY to all that in your brilliant poster (which I would like to re-use) is the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group recognized as such in the MidEast, which started their own political party in the US, and controls a network of massively destructive other groups: an umbrella org the US Council of Muslim Orgs, USCMO, CAIR, MAS, AMP, AMA, MLFA, MUNA, MANA, and the Mosque Foundation of Chicago (Obama’s $$$-home). Many of these are also underwritten by the likes of Soros and Hollywood, Geffen, Spielberg, etc. Feb-Mar 2017 President Trump was about to designate the MB a terrorist group, his 100 day promise…that started critical in-fighting in the WHITE HOUSE. Not that there weren’t other issues, but this was the most divisive.

No one should be surprised that a Muslim spokesman considers it Islamophobic to “notice” that the Muslim shooter screamed Allah Akbar after committing mass murder. Lying to promote Islam is fully encouraged in Islam in fact there is actually a word for this deliberate deception – taqiyya. Up until this moment in time there has been no parallel word in the English language to describe the deliberate lying to promote Socialism honed to an art form by EX-president liar-in-chief Barack Hussein Obama. For eight years Obama followed his mentor Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – the Socialist handbook for transforming a capitalist society to socialism and the radical hope and change that Obama brought to office. Obama brought ALINSKIYYA (my new word) – lying in the service of socialism to the presidency. Alinsky is actually teaching a form of taqiyya when he instructs his revolutionaries to cut their hair and put on suits so that they blend in. Alinsky teaches that it is necessary to disingenuously “befriend” your enemies to calm them so that you can take over from inside without them ever suspecting your plan. Rules for Radicals teaches a form of stealth jihad designed to transform America from capitalism to socialism – and now we have a word for it in English – Alinskiyya.

Stealth jihad and Alinskiyya were Barack Obama’s operating principles for eight years as he weaponized the US government by politicizing its agencies while simultaneously changing the American lexicon to deflect attention away from political Islam and its inherent connection to jihad and taqiyya. Words matter. Under Obama terrorism was relabeled “workplace violence,” illegal aliens were relabeled “undocumented workers,” and words like jihad, Islamic terrorism, and Islamism were completely censored. Arguably Obama’s most powerful weapon was the echo chamber that he and Ben Rhodes bragged about that duped America into accepting his horrendous Iran deal. The cognitive dissonance that Obama’s methods have deliberately created has pushed our society closer to psychosis because people are confused and no longer know what to believe – they no longer have an accurate reference for what is true.

The echo chamber with its deliberate fake news, deliberate historical revisionism, deliberate moral relativism, and deliberate political correctness are all tactical methods used in Obama’s war against America to facilitate the breakdown of American society from within. Obama’s Alinskiyya in the name of liberalism/socialism has been so successful that even gender is now being considered a matter of opinion. Donald Trump’s victory slowed Obama down but Obama’s leftovers are still being led by Obama in an effort to topple Donald Trump. The mainstream media continues to echo their fake news stories designed to discredit President Trump and his administration. If the globalist elites are successful the Tavistock indoctrination in America, whose sovereignty is the greatest obstacle to globalism and existential threat to one-world government, will have been completely successful – Americans will finally believe that snow is black. If that happens it is GAME OVER! Capitalism -> Socialism -> One-world government.

All mooslimes of the satanic cult of Islam are veritaphobic and anyone else rejecting Christ Jesus will also suffer in hell for eternity. Praise God many mooslimes are escaping the cult by rejecting the hate of islam by being set free by the Truth /Jesus. Romans 10:9-13 Matthew 6:33

This is just more of the same nonsense we hear from leftist all the time. If you disagree with them you are a racist, bigot, fascist, etc. They, of course, are pure and wonderful. If only we would understand that they know what is best for us. Speaking against them is just wrong and not to be tolerated. Who needs free speech?
Islam is a huge threat to western democracy and Europe is slow to understand this. Letting all these supposed refugees, mostly young men, unvetted into their countries was stupid. Germany and the other countries that did this put their citizens in danger and, especially women, paid the price.
Thank goodness Trump won so we at least have a chance to avoid a European type of disaster.
