The GOP Field and Jihad
By Carol Brown
Posted By Ruth King on October 7th, 2015
As
the world faces the rising threat of Islamic supremacy, the number of
leaders speaking the whole hideous truth about this evil can be counted
on one hand. If GOP presidential candidates are our future, will any of
them rise to the occasion and be a bold voice for truth when speaking
about this force that seeks to destroy us? I decided to find out. Below
is a snapshot of where the top six candidates stand on the threat of jihad, with a focus on four sub-topics noted below:
· Islamic law (sharia)
· Immigration jihad (hijra), addressed in the context of the current “Syrian refugee crisis”
· Response to Ben Carson’s statements on Muslims, sharia law, the Constitution, and the presidency
· Miscellany (additional noteworthy points that vary from one candidate to the next)
Donald Trump
· In 2011, spoke about
the U.S. having a “Muslim problem,” though expressed lack of knowledge
about the teachings of the Quran. Made similarly broad comments this year without elaboration.
· Expressed a range of opinions about whether the U.S. should accept “Syrian refugees,” from “possibly yes” to “we have to.” Most recently stated
that if he becomes president he will send back any Syrian refugees
Obama admits, while noting that many are young males who look like
fighters. Wonders if this wave of refugees could be a “military coup” or a “Trojan horse.”
· Most recently stated in response to a question about Carson’s comments: “it’s an argument I won’t get into.”
· Slammed Pamela Geller after the Draw Mohammed Free Speech event in Texas, blaming her for the attempted terror attack instead of the jihadist. Would consider a Muslim American to be a member of his cabinet, stating “I love the Muslims. I think they’re great people.”
Ben Carson
· Speaks out about the conflict between Islam and our Constitution. Said “we don’t want to import that type of ideology into America” and we must remain a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values. Warned of the threat of Islamic terrorists seeking to destroy the United States, both from without and from within.
· Addressed
the dangers of accepting “Syrian refugees,” stating we cannot afford to
expose ourselves to the following risks: we don’t know who these people
are, the vast majority are young males, once we admit them their
families can follow, the chances are too high that ISIS is among them,
we have no way to screen for those who may have a “proclivity” to become
radicalized once they’re here, and our lack an “excellent screening mechanism” that would guarantee our ability to ensure not a single terrorist got through.
· Talks about national pride, noting that immigrants don’t get to change who we are as a people and as a nation. Called on the IRS to investigate CAIR and has exposed them as a terror organization.
Carly Fiorina
· Said we’re
in a “religious war,” believes terrorists who kill in the name of Islam
are “subverting their religion,” and that Islam is being used an as
“excuse” to murder people. Immediately following the 9/11 terror
attacks, made a deeply disturbing statement praising the Caliphate. Two years later did it again, praising the Caliphate and pointing to Mohammed as a “wise” prophet.
· Alluded to not taking “Syrian refugees,” saying we can’t afford to relax our entrance criteria and that Europe needs to do more.
· Disagreed with (and misrepresented) Carson’s statements. Response included the comment that “anyone of any faith is welcome here” while drawing a moral equivalence among Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Marco Rubio
· Frames
the conflict between Islam and the West as ideological in nature,
stated that “radical Islamic terror” is the greatest threat the U.S.
faces, and said the root cause of jihad is linked to “oppression.”
· Open to the idea of taking in “Syrian refugees” as long as we make sure no terrorists are admitted.
· Distorted Carson’s words and expressed a dangerous level of naiveté while stating that no persons should be disqualified from being president because of their faith. Also assumed/hoped a person with radical views of any kind would never be elected president.
· Wants to
increase H1B visas for foreign workers and foreign students that will
result in, among other things, more Muslim immigrants. Joined John
McCain and others in criticizing former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in her call to investigate Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into government agencies. Refused to appear at a Tea Party event that included Pamela Geller, winning praise from Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR.
Jeb Bush
· Thinks we should accept
“Syrian refugees” as long as we have a strong screening process.
Compared the “Syrian refugee” crisis to other waves of refugees we have
accepted in the past. Said we should only accept Christian refugees from Syria and Iraq who are in imminent danger.
· Believes
the U.S. needs to develop international coalitions to take out
terrorists and that “our enemies need to fear us, a little bit, just
enough for them to deter their actions.” Top campaign advisor (Jordan Sekulow) is outspoken against Islam. Bush-appointed Florida judge cleared the path for a case to be ruled upon based on sharia law.
Ted Cruz
· Spoke at the Defeat Jihad Summit this year. Has said sharia law is an “enormous problem” in the United States. Chairman of Cruz’s campaign in Tennessee is a person who is outspoken against sharia law.
· Alluded to not taking in “Syrian refugees” stating that Congress needs more information on the vetting process before moving forward with Obama’s plan to accept them. Said it
doesn’t make sense logistically to move masses of people far from home
since the ultimate goal is for them to return when the crisis ends,
while also noting security risks to the United States. Stated that until
we address the cause of this crisis, there will continue to be hordes
of migrants fleeing the region.
· Responding
to Carson’s comments, noted the Constitution allows anyone to be
president. Avoided skewering Islam and/or calling out the legitimacy of
CAIR during a recent interview that touched upon Carson’s comments and references to CAIR.
So where does this leaves us? Let’s start with some broad observations.
Few
candidates appear to have even a basic understanding of the core
teachings of the Quran. And most appear to lack the curiosity to learn.
Instead, they peddle the lie that jihadists are distorting laudable
Islamic values.
All
the candidates refer to “radical Islamic terror” or “Islamic extremism”
which is another way of misrepresenting the truth about Islam — a
totalitarian ideology that is radical and extreme by its very nature.
None of the candidates appear to know anything about hijra
and some are willing to consider accepting Muslim invaders as long as
we don’t import any terrorists. Well of course we don’t want to import
terrorists. But we will.
And not only terrorists, but loads of people who will become
terrorists. Because that’s just the way it is with masses of people from
Islamic countries.
As
for those candidates who are skeptical of taking in “Syrian refugees,” I
have yet to hear any of them state a simple “no” to the question of
whether we should. Several have pointed out the risks but have stopped
short of using the word “no.” They need to use it. It would make their
position crystal clear. In addition, every candidate needs to be talking
about the issues Trump and Carson raised with respect to questioning
who these “refugees” are, while noting that most are young males. Kudos
to Trump for suggesting the possibility of a Trojan horse. Yes, it is a
Trojan horse. Every single candidate needs to understand that so we can
move forward.
And could we please hurry up with the moving forward part because we’re 1400 years into this and stuck on stupid?
Regrettably,
no other candidate stood with Ben Carson when he raised the issue of
Islamic law being in direct contradiction to our Constitution and our
Judeo-Christian values. Most twisted his words and ran for the hills.
Why? It was a golden opportunity to stand against Islamic supremacism.
Carson has become a rare candidate who is educating himself on Islam and
who is unafraid to speak out. I say: Bravo, Dr. Carson. Please keep
going!
On
the flip side, we have Carly Fiorina who asserts the lie that jihadists
are “subverting their religion” while concurring that a “reformation”
is needed. Why would a reformation be needed if Islam is fine the way it
is? As to her moral equivalence among Islam, Christianity, and Judaism,
we cannot afford more of this kind of “thinking.” A religion that is
also a political system that mandates world domination is hardly on par
with the teachings of Christianity or Judaism. And her comments about
the Caliphate and Mohammed remain utterly reprehensible.
Marco
Rubio has been wrong on just about everything. The same goes for Jeb
Bush. And although I don’t want this article to become much longer, I
have to point out that Bush’s statement that “our enemies need to fear
us, a little bit,” is absurd. “A little bit?” Good grief!
Trump
has made the occasional statement that has some potential merit, but
like most candidates, he does not appear interested in educating himself
on the Quran. Until he does, he will be in a significantly weakened
position regarding who the enemy is, what drives the enemy’s actions,
and how best to protect the country from forces within and without that
seek to destroy us.
And
what about Cruz? He promises more than he delivers. When speaking about
Islam he needs to spend less time criticizing Obama and more time
explaining his own plans for how to face down Islamic supremacy. Cruz’s
expressed concern about sharia law is well founded, but he has not
provided much elaboration. I have the impression Cruz may be more
knowledgeable on the subject of Islam than most other candidates. If so,
he needs to speak out strongly and often. For a candidate who talks
about “courage,” “truth,” and “painting in bold colors,” he needs to own
up to these standards when addressing the myriad ways Islam threatens
our survival.
So
here we are. Fourteen years post 9/11 and 1400 years into Islam’s war
against civilization and, for the most part, our future leaders still
have no clue. How is it that so many of us have educated ourselves while
most of those seeking the highest office in the land remain mired in
ignorance and/or cowardice?
And
not to make a bleak picture more bleak, but their weaknesses extend far
beyond the areas discussed in this article. No one is addressing the
full breadth of the threat we are facing, such as the infiltration of
the Muslim Brotherhood into every arm of government, the proliferation
of mosques that preach jihad, school curriculum that whitewashes Islam,
lawfare, and so forth.
It doesn’t bode well.
Without
a solid understanding of what we are up against and a willingness to
speak out about it, no candidate is prepared to make the kinds of
decisions required to ensure our nation is secure as the Islamic advance
against the West, and indeed all of civilization, continues without
relent.
