Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Gee, If Only Someone Had Been Talking About Islamism's Extreme Hostility to Women For the Last Few Years
— Ace

I think Hirsi Ali's sin was taking her activism beyond the "Hashtag" stage.

Since the kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria last month, the meaning of Boko HaramÂ—the name used by the terrorist group that seized the girlsÂ—has become more widely known. The translation from the Hausa language is usually given in English-language media as "Western Education Is Forbidden," though "Non-Muslim Teaching Is Forbidden" might be more accurate.
But little attention has been paid to the group's formal Arabic name: Jam'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-da'wa wal-Jihad. That roughly translates as "The Fellowship of the People of the Tradition for Preaching and Holy War." That's a lot less catchy than Boko Haram but significantly more revealing about the group and its mission. Far from being an aberration among Islamist terror groups, as some observers suggest, Boko Haram in its goals and methods is in fact all too representative.
The kidnapping of the schoolgirls throws into bold relief a central part of what the jihadists are about: the oppression of women. Boko Haram sincerely believes that girls are better off enslaved than educated. The terrorists' mission is no different from that of the Taliban assassin who shot and nearly killed 15-year-old Pakistani Malala YousafzaiÂ—as she rode a school bus home in 2012Â—because she advocated girls' education. As I know from experience, nothing is more anathema to the jihadists than equal and educated women.
How to explain this phenomenon to baffled Westerners, who these days seem more eager to smear the critics of jihadism as "Islamophobes" than to stand up for women's most basic rights? Where are the Muslim college-student organizations denouncing Boko Haram? Where is the outrage during Friday prayers? These girls' lives deserve more than a Twitter hashtag protest.
...
It is... time for Western liberals to wake up. If they choose to regard Boko Haram as an aberration, they do so at their peril. The kidnapping of these schoolgirls is not an isolated tragedy; their fate reflects a new wave of jihadism that extends far beyond Nigeria and poses a mortal threat to the rights of women and girls. If my pointing this out offends some people more than the odious acts of Boko Haram, then so be it.

It's an interesting dynamic.

I think the problem can be summed up pretty simply: Progressives would like to believe that the war going on in the world is between Extremist Muslims and, get this, Extremist Christians. That it has nothing to do with Progressives, who are The Only Sane Men in the Room, standing back, laughing at the religious sillyheads as they war with each other.

No matter how many times Islamists vow that they hate "Progressives" more than the godly, if kaffir, Christians, and then match deed to vow, "Progressives" continue spinning themselves this childish fantasy. They'll rouse themselves to notice some awful massacre committed by the Islamist lunatics for a week, and, if really roused, will even retweet a Hashtag Uprising against it; and then the next week, they go back to "condemning both sides," and pretending to be a virtuous Switzerland.

In fact they're cowards and in their cowardice, accomplices to murderers.

Hashtag Activism

For moral preening without all the exertion and bother of moral action.

As for the liberals, this is the first time I have heard they think the Muzzies only hate Christians and Jews. If they do they are even more stupid than I thought and they aren't watching any news, much less Fox.

9 Ace sez: "In fact they're cowards and in their cowardice, accomplices to murderers." I think the truest thing George W. ever said was "If you're not with us, you're against us." (Paraphrasing -- don't remember verbatim quote, although that may be it.) American liberals are the propaganda arm of the Islamic army. As such, they are despicable traitors to Western civilization. My depth of loathing for the modern progressive cannot be plumbed.

That it has nothing to do with Progressives, who are The Only Sane Men in the Room, standing back, laughing at the religious sillyheads as they war with each other.' There was a song on the Cure's self-titled album called "Us or Them". The title and chorus refer to George Bush's speech on "with us or against us". But the verses of the song make reference to the Islamic vision of paradise, the takbir, terrorist and so on. I paid real money for the CD when it came out, but could only listen to it once. And I was a hardcore fan of the band - saw them in concert thrice :^/

12 The point stands: modern leftist women are either about free shit (because they're poor) or about being lesbian. The "women's movement" has zero to do with gender, but simply agenda.

21 Take, for example, planned parenthood. The name, to someone who knows no better, might indicate this would be a place to seek counsel on.... oh shit... I don't know: PARENTHOOD. Like adoption, planning your family? Nope. It's about killing unborn children. There is no parenthood.

[Ace:] ..."In fact they're cowards and in their cowardice, accomplices to murderers."

Spot on, Ace.

It's the only logical explanation for their continued codling of Islamists.

Cowardice.

Everything that the Left claims to be 'for'...the Islamists are violently against.

It's much easier to target Christians.

28 I don't think the Progs are cowardly trying to avoid calling out Moslems. I think Progs are huge fans of Moslems. I see lots of Progs condemning various Christian things, but I have yet to see any Progs anywhere condemn anything Islamic. Again, I think it's praise, not fear.

(Although certainly fear plays a part.)

29 The ongoing dynamic is this: Muslims: "We shall be triumphant! Die, infidels!" Progressives: "The people who just said that aren't real Muslims." Muslims: "What??? You know nothing of Islam, infidel! We are true to the Koran! Prove otherwise!" Progressives: "Look here, we've dug up some weird fringey progressive feminist Muslim semi-apostate; we're now putting him on TV to claim that his absurd vision of a lovey-dovey group-hug Islam is in fact the only true Islam." Muslims: "That man is an idiot! He knows less about the Koran than you do!" Progressives: "Shut up -- don't you understand we're running cover for you?"

30 Had a lunch date with rich feminist chick in DC once. I was walking her back to her upscale office at the non-profit where she was interning and she was prattling on about feminism and how horrible sexist America was. On the walk back from Thai restaurant where we ate to her office we walked over/around a dozen or two homeless people. All of whom were men. She literally had to step over them while she railed about the glass ceiling.

Let's do an experiment. Let's take an impoverished country. And, oh, let's say it's in Africa.

Let's further divide into two segments--one in the north and one in the south. And, just as a silly little experiment, let one half be dominated by Muslims and letter the other half be dominated by Christians.

Now given the poverty in both halves of this hypothetical country, they should both produce equal numbers of terrorists. Right? Right?

After all terrorism is a product of terrorism, isn't it?

If only there was a country that fit into this paradigm.

I hesitates, but kept shopping for olives there, maybe once a month. And then as I approached the store during one shopping trip, I saw a cluster of about 7 or 8 Al Qaeda-looking dudes coming out of the store and clustering on the sidewalk in front. They looked around with obvious disdain and disgust at the infidel landscape. One lokced eyes with me and just glared. I stopped, did a 180, and never went back.

Interesting news today, connecting dots of why Sec of State Cankle-Cackles did not declare Nigerian kidnappers as terrorist group. Whoopsie! Guns from Libya's missing stash (see, also: what will pop up in Syria rebels at some point). Then, Benghazi emails from WH, showing a cover up.Sec of State denial of extra security measures after British attack 6/11 requested by Ambassador Stevens. Her own Charlotte Lamb saying there was live footage of attack in Congressional hearings and knowing, within moments, this was a terrorist attack and not a video.

So...Sec of State, Billary, running on Senate confirmation due to standing by her man's definition of "is" sex, and women's rights (her,uh, platform), denies a terrorist group that title in spite of FBI, CIA and members of Congress. Group then kidnaps and sells 300 young girls in Nigeria. This group, Boko Haram, then uses guns stolen from Libya's stash thanks to Baroque's killing of Gadaffi, and (possibly) the 9/11/12 theft during the killing of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. Also missing weapons turned over to USA from Britan after they left in 6/12...All dots connect in Benghazi, don't they? hmmm

167 From MoveOn.Org in 2012:

Reject "Terrorist" Designation for Boko Haram

Petition by AfricaFocus Bulletin (William Minter)

To be delivered to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, Eric Holder, Attorney General, Rep. Henry Waxman (CA-33), Rep. Bennie Thompson (MS-2), Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-4) and 6 other targets (click here to see more)
Petition to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama and Members of Congress

We urge you not to support the formal designation of Boko Haram in Nigeria as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" (FTO). Such a move would be a counterproductive mistake with far-reaching negative consequences for both Americans and Nigerians.

It is correct for the United States to join the vast majority of Nigerians in condemning the group for the brutal violence it has inflicted on innocent civilians in Nigeria and their threats to national unity and security in that country.

But U.S. government designation of the group as a FTO, as currently proposed by several Members of Congress and some officials in the the Department of Justice, would increase rather than diminish the threat from Boko Haram. It would give the group additional visibility and credibility among international terrorist networks. It would increase the chances that the group would direct its attacks against U.S. targets.

Most significantly, it would reinforce militarization of Nigerian government actions against the group. Repressive actions by Nigerian security forces in the past have already contributed to increasing support for Boko Haram among those affected. What is needed instead is a multifaceted strategy. Such a strategy must include not only security measures to protect civilians but also flexible diplomacy and serious attention to development issues, particularly in the disadvantaged North of Nigeria where Boko Haram finds support.

Yep. Geller has done great work against sharia and the evil death cult.

186 "158 Name one christian terrorist group. Just one." 99% of terrorist organizations are Islamic or Marxist/Socialist. You do find the odd one here or there like the Jewish Kahane Chai and Hebrew Defense League or some Hindu one. KKK, Orange Volunteers could qualify as Protestant Christian terrorist groups.

189 Israel really has no choice but to pre-empt. It's when not if. The radioactive exposure, terrorist stimulation, and loss of revenue via boycott will be a stone cold bitch, but they can choose that, or being exterminated in a nuclear holocaust. They obviously think they can parse the scenario to the last possible moment - and maybe they can - but do you transmit the Go Code just before 'they' launch or after you've had the first detonation on your territory? Are you willing to lose 100K citizens for the'moral justification' of history? We can only pray that when they Go Code they decide to do it all in. 50 government buildings and 50 T camps under glass will stop a lot of shit for one, maybe two, generations....

192 The Islamic occupation of Spain. The invading forces were so riven by tribal divisions and incompetence, they resorted to using Christians and Jews to keep their conquered domains running. The leader of the Arab invasion, Musa bin Numayr, was a Yemeni. The caliph at the time, al-Walid, had based his caliphate on northern Arabs like himself. Musa, not being an idiot, stuffed his administration with people loyal to Musa (and not to the caliph). Al-Walid eventually recalled then Musa to Damascus to answer for his 'arrogance'; the caliph died, pretty much when Musa was en route, but his successor Sulayman did what al-Walid couldn't. This was to strip Musa of his ranks, title, booty, pension - the lot. Musa did get to keep his head so there's that. (Sulayman was more pro-Yemeni than was al-Walid.) Spain (and Morocco) ended up hosting a lot of Harurites. That's Syrian-Arabic for "cave-dwelling nominally Islamic heretics". There's an article here about how (orthodox) Islam followed the Arabs into Spain... about a century and a half afterward. Non-Germans can use Google Translate for the gist - http://inarah.de/cms/fruehe-spanische-zeugnisse-zum-islam-1-teil.html

194 How about the Trinity and the dual nature of Christ? Nope. But I'm sure you'll agree the Council of Nicea formalized that doctrine, which is not found in the Bible. Sure, you can find verses that make it sound right, but there are others that contradict it flatly.

195 KKK, Orange Volunteers could qualify as Protestant Christian terrorist groups Not so much KKK. When they were terrorists (~1870s), they were just racist and not particularly Christian. The second incarnation (~1910s) was Protestant, yes, but not particularly terrorist. The Northern Irish prots, I'll give you, spawned some outfits just as bad as the IRA.

197 You H8trs simply don't understand the fundamental tenant (the Prime Pillar of the 5 Pillars) of Islam: If you have a dick and you stick it in anyone or anything anytime, you are Good. If a dick is stuck in you by anyone or anything anytime, you are Evil. It's quite simple. Why can't you get a clue. If you don't have a dick you are Evil. If you let anything stick a dick in you you are are evil. If you stick your dick in anything thats just fine. There is NOTHING more that you need to know about Islam. THIS IS IT.

Posted by: OG Celtic-American at May 09, 2014 03:27 PM (xpPRn)

198 The way I read this, I think Ace is saying that Progressives fail to condemn the Muslims' real War on Women (and gays, and atheists, all typically liberal protected classes) primarily because of liberals' disdain for religiosity in general. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with that. If that were the case, they'd be disinterested and neutral with respect to the clash between Islam and the enlightened West. But leftists are not neutral; they're pro-Jihad. Here, in my opinion, are the most important reasons that this is the case: 1) Antisemitism, rampant in the modern left, makes Islam a natural ally. 2) Contrarianism. Dad thinks the Islamists should be targeted by drones? Fuck you, Dad. I'm smart! Look at me! Progressivism attracts adolescents like shit draws flies; and anyone still a progressive after the age of 30 is an arrested adolescent. 3) Fear. Beta males, and unattractive dikey women with armpit hair down to their cankles (and therefore incapable of attracting a mate that might make them feel secure), are easily cowed. Those Christians and Jews aren't threatening to saw my head off; I'll side against them.

201 It's the only logical explanation for their continued codling of Islamists. Cowardice. Well, duh. Notice that they will cheerfully taunt Christians, but breath a word against Islam? not a chance. Because those Christians will riot and burn them out of their homes, and stone them to death and stuff...

#HashtagWarriors: Because "Free Tibet" bumper stickers are *so* 90s!

Posted by: Brown Line at May 09, 2014 06:50 PM (a5bF3)

204 I find myself torn between irritation over the sudden attention paid by the media, opportunistic politicians such as Hillary and Hollywood celebrities; towards the epidemic of sexual slavery occurring throughout Africa, Syria and Southeast Asia; and yet glad that the US is finally aware of this ongoing horror. Thousands of girls and boys are have been kidnapped and either given as war prizes or sold in the slave markets. Africa's communities are under unceasing attacks by radical Islam. The continent is dissolving into complete anarchy if left unchecked. Democracy cannot flourish in this climate. Look for a new generation of tyrants to emerge. Meanwhile, there was Hillary running out in front to tweet her support of these young women who are in the process of enduring mass rape. I'm sure they appreciated her hashtag support. Isn't it an irony that she shot herself in the foot by her effort to gain credit? When the story emerged of her refusal to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group; Surprisingly, it has gained more negative attention from groups that have not been willing to consider the Benghazi accusations. In fact, liberals are attacking her over her failure to block Boko Haram earlier. It may be due to the Obama factor. She is implicated, and he is not, unlike Benghazi. Final note. This national reaction became a FAD when Hillary began to tweet and her Hollywood pals echoed her. Now that she's been burned; the attention may wither.

205 (Continued from 205) For example: from the Daily Beast yesterday: "..Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as TerroristsUnder Hillary Clinton, the State Department repeatedly declined to fully go after the terror group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls." (the Hillary fans mashed teeth and went frothing insane that this article was posted by Josh Rogan) "The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American governmentÂ’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.. What Clinton didnÂ’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the U.N. headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen senators and congressmen. Â“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didnÂ’t use. And nobody can say she wasnÂ’t urged to do it. ItÂ’s gross hypocrisy,Â” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate. Â“The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.Â” In May 2012, then-Justice Department official Lisa Monaco (now at the White House) wrote to the State Department to urge Clinton to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. The following month, Gen. Carter Ham, the chief of U.S. Africa Command, said that Boko Haram Â“are likely sharing funds, training, and explosive materialsÂ” with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. And yet, Hillary ClintonÂ’s State Department still declined to place Boko Haram on its official terrorist roster." - sorry, link won't post and tiny links was unsuccessful. its published at the Daily Beast.

206 So, as far as I understand, the band Chumbawamba is a group that is/leans anarchist. Back around 2000 though, they had a song "Pass It Along" with the lyrics Pass it along by word of mouse Save the world, don't leave the house Pass it along, don't leave the house It's stuck with me, because it is such an apt description of a certain attitude... For some people, all they can do is what they can do at home, but for so many more, they could be doing a lot more, but they figure that what they do - like Michelle Obama with this picture - is somehow enough.

207 It is fascinating (in a frightening sense) to watch as the American (and European) Left caters to the whims of radical Islamists even and perhaps especially regarding women's rights and lives.

There is clearly a symbiotic relationship between the Western Progressive Left and Islamism, born from an 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' political dynamic.

Once their common 'enemy' (Western individual liberty oriented government) is eradicated, the Islamists, knowing the Left are fundamentally cowards lacking any true courage of their convictions, will destroy them, taking great pleasure in the process.
