February 18, 2015 The Word for this Administration: Islamisant
By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison
We Americans have been puzzling over our President’s curious inability to see twenty-one ISIS terrorists cutting off the heads of twenty-one Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya and call the horrible deed what it is -- an Islamist atrocity. Not, you will note, Islamic. By using the adjective Islamist, we are distinguishing this brutal and savage action from those billions who claim to be adherents of the Islamic religion.
President Obama’s administration studiously avoided calling the victims Christians. They were described merely as “Egyptian citizens,” as if he were a jaded clerk stamping their passports.
The Pope has weighed in, forthrightly saying it was obvious the poor Copts were murdered because they follow Jesus. The prime minister of Canada -- the stalwart Stephen Harper -- did not hesitate to call a spade a spade. He said this:
“I am outraged and saddened by the beheadings of Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Christians in Libya by groups linked to ISIL. Coming soon after the savage burning of Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, the threat posed by ISIL could not be clearer.
This information comes to us even as this White House is meeting with Muslims who represent organizations previously identified as front groups or spinoffs of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood began in Egypt in 1928 under direction of community organizer Hassan al-Banna. The Muslim Brotherhood spans many Arab lands, including Egypt, Libya, Gaza, and Yemen. The Muslim Brotherhood emerged at the same time as the German Nazi party, but was not motivated by the same pagan ideology.
Nonetheless, the Muslim Brotherhood admired the Nazis’ ability to penetrate civil society in Germany and, of course, they loved the Nazis’ murderous anti-Semitism (Judenhass). German scholar Matthias Küntzel has written that the first person to envision burning towers collapsing in Manhattan was not Osama bin Laden, but Adolf Hitler. Hitler actually had plans for an attack by submarine-launched V-2s targeted at the city he regarded as a center of Jewish influence in the world.
This administration has gotten the Muslim Brotherhood’s agenda wrong from start. They had to climb down from a lengthy explanation of the MB’s philosophy and actions by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper in 201l in which the hapless official described the MB as “largely secular.” It is largely secular in the same sense that the Nazi Party and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were largely secular. They penetrated all aspects of society, but were always motivated by a powerful and ruthless ideology.
This man has never been vetted and continues to confound America with his amorality.

Stop trying to make the Ferguson protests something they weren’t. And, just as importantly, stop trying to make Michael Brown, the man shot to death during a fight with police Office Darren Wilson in August, something he wasn’t.
“If you look at the most credible evidence, the lessons are really basic ... don’t rob a convenience store. Don’t fight with a policeman when he stops you and try to take his gun. And when he yells at you to stop, just stop.”
ZitatIf that was the intimate association of the U.S. and Islam prior to the Constitution, only an Islamisant reading of our history could whitewash the truth. Similarly, President Obama boasted of a Muslim Member of Congress taking his oath of office on a copy of “the Jefferson Koran.” Thomas Jefferson did indeed own an English-language version of the Muslim holy book. But that was because he was our ambassador in France and simply could not believe what an Arab ambassador in Paris told him: namely, that the Koran justified enslaving those who did not submit to the religion of Islam.
It was only after confirming the envoy’s words himself that Thomas Jefferson began a twenty-year commitment to the use of force against the Barbary Pirates of North Africa. Their lairs were not far from where those ISIS murderers spilled the Christians’ blood into the Mediterranean Sea this week.
