My latest in PJ Media:
Mehdi Hasan of NBC on Saturday provided a good example of the Left’s propaganda offensive to portray all support of Trump and all dissent from its agenda as dangerous terrorism that must be silenced and even criminalized. On the Mehdi Hasan Show and then on a Twitter thread, Hasan counted down five reasons for claiming that “the far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.” They were:
5. “Al Qaeda didn’t have cable news channels endorsing its world view.”
4. “Al Qaeda didn’t have the president of the United States or his daughter inciting them, or praising them during the attacks as ‘special people’ and ‘American Patriots.’”
3. “Al Qaeda wasn’t umbilically connected to the U.S. conservative moment and the GOP; didn’t have sympathizers in the House GOP caucus who spoke at its rallies and offered cover for them.”
2. “Al Qaeda hadn’t successfully infiltrated U.S. law enforcement and even the military in the run-up to 9/11. None of the 19 hijackers were off-duty cops or veterans.”
Hasan concluded: “And the number 1 reason why Al Qaeda was not as much a danger as these #MAGAterrorists are is because… Al Qaeda wasn’t white. We take the threat from brown men with big beards much more seriously than the threat from white guys. Hence the Capitol attack.”
This all sounds quite disquieting, but as is so often the case with Hasan and NBC in general, none of it is true.
5. Al Jazeera aired al-Qaeda materialand ran interference for it. Hasan’s exercise in moral equivalence also assumes that Trump incited and endorsed the storming of the Capitol on January 6, and that the entry into the Capitol was terrorism, and therefore when OANN or Newsmax reported favorably on Trump, they were endorsing terrorism. This is a whole string of false premises. Trump didn’t incite the attack: he never called upon people to enter the Capitol or disrupt the electoral vote count. To claim that he did so by means of “dog whistles” or some such is to claim that his intent beyond his actual words can be discerned in an objective manner. Once you grant that, you’ve opened the door for anyone in power to claim that someone criticizing them really means to incite violence, and thus must be silenced. The same thing goes for OANN and Newsmax: they never called for violence. Al-Qaeda calls for violence all the time. To equate the two means that any unpopular speech can be criminalized. Even Mehdi Hasan could find himself on the wrong end of that idea someday.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I am not sure why Democracynow.org bring him for interview. He is part of Shariah Law in USA. Emmy Goodman please stop him bring to the show also Linda Sarsour she is agent of Iran and PLO and Hamas.
gravenimage says
Despite its name, Democracy Now is actually far leftist.
mortimer says
Demoncracynow.org is are Leftists who are distracting attention from the REAL DEATH AND DESTRUCTION by the mobs of ANTIFA in Seattle.
It’s a SMOKE SCREEN running interference for the Leftist mobsters.
Check Burry says
He was once in UK, maybe even hatched here, and he was on a Political discuss prog on the biased BBC, “Question Time”, he is a most unpleasant being, despite the smile in this shot. Woops Im inciting violence by using the word “shot”
denis says
another in a long list of reasons why I do not listen to any of the major news organizations
mortimer says
Red-blooded Americans are being demonized. Unconscionable. This is the worst of lies.
mortimer says
Mehdi Hasan has made a career of covering up the normative, canonical jihad doctrine of Islam. Jihad is one of the PILLARS of Islam, rather than an aberration.
Mehdi Hasan is a verbal jihadist practicing taqiyya and getting highly paid, because no one around him does any research into the canonical source texts of Islam. They let Mehdi Hasan get away with his whitewash of Islam.
Check Burry says
Yes correct based on what I heard on Question Time prog in UK, he is in my opinion a “sleeper” for you know what, there is another in the Scottish Parl, a devolved waste of UK taxpayers £,s. He is proposing legislation to stop me saying the above.
Check Burry says
Spot on, every word. Wonder why he left UK? Couldnt possibly be for the money, no he has (unfortunately) a much larger potential audience. Im sorry your stuck with him. Would you like some more from UK, the choudaries, well one particular family of that name.
Linde Barrera says
To Mortimer- I have come to the conclusion that the real job of
most elected officials in the US is
to become wealthy by any legal
(or sometimes not so legal) means available, and the job of every journalist, broadcaster or reporter
in the US is to spout and enforce
the globalist narrative. This
includes making the population
feel that jihad is not a bad thing,
? and also that because humans
are social creatures, Socialism is not a bad thing. ?
mortimer says
Big Tech and certain globalists oligarchs want globalism because they can manipulate the labor market and create monopolies without any resistance.
tgusa says
I assume he thinks we need another Hitler too. After all those years of Hollywood and the left calling Hitler right wing it turns out that he wasn’t. I call this the boomerang effect and it happens often.
mortimer says
The ‘Hitlers’ are the mullahocracy in Iran that Mehdi Hasan is supporting.
Mike 2 says
Don’t worry about Mehdi; he is a very silly boy. He is no great thinker and is going nowhere. Just switch channels.

Unfortunately, others *do* listen to him.

NBC’s Mehdi Hasan: ‘Far-Right Domestic Terror Threat More Dangerous Than Al Qaeda After 9/11
………………
More lies–this time from a Muslim apologist.
He has referred to non-Muslims and Athiests as “cattle”, and has said that gay people are transgressive of Islam. Of course, this is mainstream Islam, though.
For him to pose as a “progressive” could not be more grotesque.
tgusa says
Hitler supporters everywhere. Seems like we have a formerly extinct problem growing.. To be fair Hitler gets all the credit for all the worlds ills but there have been much worse before him and after.

Jayell says
‘Far-Right Domestic Terror Threat More Dangerous Than Al Qaeda After 9/11’ – what he probably means is ‘Any kind of domestic reaction is more dangerous than Al Qaeda for the likes of Mehdi Hasan because the likes of Mehdi Hasan represent Al Qaeda’s more than anything remotely ‘domestic’ in the USA. Hasan’s little observation would probably bear more resemblance to the sort of propaganda hogwash that the representatives of the German Third Reich would have been putting out through the Quisling press in the UK had the Nazis invaded, where Hasan’s Aryan counterpart would have been denouncing Churchill & Co, as ‘far right domestic terrorists’ – just as the Quising press does over here at present.
By the way, I notice that Biden has removed Churchill’s bust from its place in the White House. Predictable. It seems like this particular ornament has become a sort of barometer of the political climate, so it seems like you’ve got some bad weather coming in the USA, But it can’t be any more disgusting than it is over here in the UK.

You aren’t wrong, Jayell–just like his appalling boss Barack Hussein Obama:
“Biden administration defends removing Churchill statue from Oval Office”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-administration-defends-removing-churchill-statue-from-oval-office
President Trump brought it back. Can’t have that…
And Biden didn’t just remove it–he *sneers* about the great man having nothing to do with the special relationship between the US and Britain, and wants to “remind everyone what the Special Relationshiop is all about”.
He cites our being the largest investors in each other’s economies–what is saving the free world and bravely defeating Fasicsm compared to that? Good lord…
Fred van de Bunt says
Mehdi Hasan labels Trump as a “far right domestic terror threat”.
But do not forget that 75 million Americans voted for the “far right terrorist” Trump. Imagine, half the American populace support a terrorist (Trump)?!
Needless to say that Al Qaeda’s threat is absolutely insignificant to the threat of 75 million American terrorist supporters.
Somehow these type of ridiculous comparisons made by Muslims like Hasan, that state that Islam is a religion of peace, while willfully ignoring the existence of the totalitarian and inhumane Islam sharia laws, are commonplace.
Of course, Islam intriguers will do or say anything to cause infidels to turn against each other.
Sam says
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the maintenance of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The establishment actually fears their own populace, and the Constitution.
OLD GUY says
Mehdi Hasan is correct that as a Muslim he views anyone anti Islamic a “far right threat”. His job in the Islamic migration invasion of America is to spread PROPAGANDA and cover up the truth about Islamic rule.
Islam wants to dominate the world and enslave you or kill you.
somehistory says
If he was an honest person, he would admit it’s the moslims in our midst that are the most dangerous to us.
The creep that was head of the Florida ‘chapter’ of cair, h shibley, has had to ‘step down’ due to charges of “domestic violence” by his wife…not his mistress…hitting, punching, etc. He’s the “lawyer” who was working to get one of those “isis brides” back into the country…she just wanted to live and go places…If I recall correctly, she’s the one who said moslims should kill us all.
moslims ***learn*** terror, they study terror, they talk terror and they carry it out….against their families, against their employers and fellow employees, and against citizens they don’t know.
Rooster says
Typical Muslim talking point. Point the finger elsewhere to distract from the truth. Islam is still the number one enemy of America and the world. Until all Islam is obliterated there will be no peace. The “white horse ” is on its way. ?Evil will succumb to the “second death”!?
