My latest in PJ Media:
Here is yet another example of how telling unwelcome truths is stigmatized today. The UK’sIndependent on Thursday published an article detailing the latest enormity committed by the conservative congresswoman the establishment media loves to hate: “Marjorie Taylor Greene faces angry backlash after Islamophobic tweet: ‘Islam is not a religion of peace.’” There’s just one problem with the Independent’s scenario: Greene is right. Islam really isn’t a religion of peace. But the Independent leans far to the Left, and the Left has never been troubled by facts before; why should it start now?
The Independent article is full of semaphores for the indoctrinated, signaling to them that they must not be sympathetic to Rep. Greene (R-Ga.). It tells us that “far-right Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is embroiled in yet another social media furore over a tweet in which she insisted Islam is ‘not a religion of peace.’”
Not only is Greene “far-right,” which essentially means nothing more than that the media hates her, but the Independent also informs us that she “has previously been sanctioned by the House of Representatives over her long history of racist, incendiary and sometimes violent statements.”
Now that the Independent’s hapless readers are primed to despise and deplore Marjorie Taylor Greene, the paper gives us her outrageous, appalling statement: “Pray for American missionaries in Afghanistan. There are reports that some families may have been killed. Islam is not a religion of peace.”
Then we hear about how terrible this is from anonymous Twitter users quoted by the Independent: “Every time you think she can’t say something worse, she does.” And: “Yea, the Taliban totally represents all of Islam. That’s why there are Muslims hanging off of planes trying to escape their rule.”
The Independent informs disappointed Left-fascists that “it is unlikely Ms Greene will face any formal consequences for her tweet, whether from Twitter or in Congress.”
The inconvenient fact remains, however: Islam is not actually a religion of peace, and it is not a matter of bigotry or hatred to point this out. Are the authoritative schools of Sunni jurisprudence, the Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali schools, “Islamophobic”? A Shafi’i manual of Islamic law that was certified in 1991 by the clerics at Al-Azhar University, one of the leading authorities in the Islamic world, as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy, stipulates about jihad that “the caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…until they become Muslim or pay the non-Muslim poll tax” (‘Umdat al-Salik).
There is more. Read the rest here.
CogitoErgoSum says
My guess is that the Muslims hanging from the airplanes were the smart ones.
mortimer says
Muslims are also ‘Islamophobic’ when they leave repressive, backward, corrupt Muslim societies in favor of free, progressive, well-regulated Western countries. Muslims secretly hate Islam’s backwardness, but support Islamic Sharia, since they will be apostates if they don’t.
Muslims generally don’t realize that medieval Sharia is the source of all the problems in Muslim societies. Sharia paralyzes innovation and prevents Muslims from working freely with well-educated, effective people of other faiths or none. Sharia imposes restrictive Islamic apartheid on Muslim societies.
Muslims are generally double-minded and confused about the retrograde force of Islam. No Muslim dare to say that ‘The emperor has no clothes on.’
BTeboe says
To believe in Islam you have to throw science out the window.
Mike says
Thank you Greene I’ve been screaming this for years now and now I have an ally
This may at one time been a peaceful but not anymore
Now when the peaceful Muslims start to denounce the hate and the crimes by ISIS and every faction of it, Taliban and so on
O yea it’s against Sharia law to say anything
so until honest Muslims grow grapes and stand up for what is right
nothing will change and it will only get worse for the ones that Just want to live lefe
mortimer says
Here is the proof that Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’:
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.
Other Islamic authorities say Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’:
-“Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute.” — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, 2005
-“Maulana Mufti Khabeebur Rehman Qazi, preacher in the Department of Preaching of Pakistani jihadi organization Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), addressed a series of religious gatherings in the city of Sahiwal in Pakistan’s Punjab province…” “Allah has ordered Muslims to take up weapons and has ordered the use of weapons against unbelievers. However, only that Muslim whose heart has the strength of faith can raise a weapon against an unbeliever … The sword is raised due to the strength of faith. Our Prophet [Muhammad] has taught us that the sword should be raised against kafirs, for the defense of Muslims, for the defense of our religion, and for the enforcement of the religion of Islam on this earth. All praise be to Allah, the mujahideen are fully performing this duty.”
(Source: ‘Allah Has Ordered Muslims To Take Up Weapons And Has Ordered The Use Of Weapons Against Unbelievers,’” MEMRI, March 12, 2019)
“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]….Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other ayahs and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” – Ayatollah Khomeini
– Mohammed said that conducting jihad against disbelievers is the ‘original religion’ of Islam. Mohammed is the ultimate authority on Islam.

I just wish more Congressmen than just MTG said that out aloud!

Most Congress members are cowards. the next election, the next pension raise, the next health care coverage, the next whoopee convention and the next taxpayer funded junket is strong reason to shut up, keep quiet, don’t rock the boat. Fear of the almighty primary is another reason. Until there are more Greene’s, and Boebarts congress is going to play the game and collect the monetary prizes till there is no more Republic.

Graham Bryant says
Look at islam radicals slicing the heads off children and pregnant women and you idiots tell us that islam is a religion of peace!!??
mortimer says
Yes … they slice with WEAPONS … This false ‘peaceful’ claim is contradicted by the biography of Mohammed.
So, where did this idea that Islam is connected to weapons of ‘slicing’ come from???
– from the Swords and Weapons of Mohammed, the founder of Islam to be sure :
– According to Islamic tradition, Mohammed personally owned 9 Swords, 7 pieces of Body Armour, 6 Bows, 5 Spears, several Shields, and a few Helmets. Many of them still exist! Muslims call them ‘HOLY WEAPONS’.
– Why does a ‘peaceful religion’ need that military hardware?
– Mohammed called one of his weapons ‘The Spine Splitter’ because it was good for slicing off heads.
In light of all the military equipment owned personally by Mohammed, how can anyone conclude that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ ?
David M says
Anyone that defends Islam by definition also defends Sharia law. If anyone ever questions you why you are against Islam, question them why they think gays should be killed or thieves should have their hand cut off.
mortimer says
Good one. (… no one will endorse that)
… but there is also Islamic slavery, sex slaves, destruction of religious art, and wife-beating … all which were practiced by the Talibans and by ISIS as strictly Islamic. No one will endorse those either.
Graham Bryant says
What!!??
Graham Bryant says
Watch the islam radicals slice the heads off children and pregnant women and tell us that islam is a religion of peace-you idiots!!??
CogitoErgoSum says
No, it is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of SUBMISSION and your submission is required by all Muslims whether you want to submit or not and they are supposed to fight you until you do submit. Peace is a byproduct of submission and does not come until everyone has submitted to Islam in one way or another. So first and foremost Islam is a religion of submission.
mortimer says
“Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up CONDUCTING JIHAD, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your ORIGINAL RELIGION.” – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455
Conducting jihad is the ‘ORIGINAL RELIGION’ of Mohammed. Jihad is preferred to having a civilian job.
Mohammed is the authority on Islam. Muslims must obey and imitate Mohammed. It is thus demonstrated conclusively from the words of Mohammed that Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Mortimer–an important Hadith, that shows how deep the Islamic committment to Jihad terror goes. Acting like an ordinary human being–engaging in any productive labor–is considered an abandonment of Islam.
David says
Cogito, you have put your finger on it! “Peace be upon he who submits”. That is why muslims claim Islam is a ‘religion of peace’. I get it now! Surrender and there will be no more fighting. I.e., Peace. This is playing with words, like “Do not kill ‘innocent’ women and children. The word ‘innocent’ only covers staunch followers of islam.
Does not the word ‘Islam’ translate as Submission?
gravenimage says
Marjorie Taylor Greene Excoriated as ‘Islamophobic’ for Saying ‘Islam Is Not a Religion of Peace’
……………..
Can any of these fools say how Greene is wrong?
mortimer says
The OFFICIAL, CANONIZED Islamic BIOGRAPHIES of Mohammed and the history of the first dozen caliphs demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that Rep. Greene is correct: namely that Islam is a religion of holy war that Muslims call ‘jihad’. Mohammed was a warlord.
The claim that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ is thus shown by Islamic history to be totally false.
David says
Peace = no fighting. Islam strives (Jihad) for Peace. When it achieves supremacy, there will be no more fighting or resistance, There will be Peace. This is what muslims mean. THE WINNER TAKES ALL.
Non-muslims define Peace as the total absence of fighting: NO fighting to achieve Peace.
The Bible says: “Thou shall not kill!” The Koran says: “Kill the Infidel!” Spot the difference.
mortimer says
I think you miss something about Sharia. ‘Jihad’ means ALL activities that remove human rights and civil liberties from women and kafirs. Once Muslims defeat military resistance from kafirs or Muslims of other sects, they continue ‘JIHAD’ through constant persecution of the minorities.
Every Muslim society is under the tyranny of the ruling Islamic sect. Since there can be ONLY ONE ‘CORRECT’ version of Islam, any other version of Islam or any other religion is heresy to be suppressed.
Islam is not pluralistic. It always treats minorities as second-class or third-class … somewhat higher than slaves, but having no actual ‘rights’ that cannot easily be suddenly taken away without warning. Thus, minorities in Islamic societies may have their privileges (not ‘rights’) removed for any reason or simply according to the whim or convenience of the ruling sect.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, you are right. “Peace” only exists under Islam when all Muslims are pious enough and all of the same sect. Never, in other words.
But David, you ar right that this is the claim.
Shirley Ann says
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Heroine to every American, except the Anti-American DEM/Marxist Party & its Slaves.
ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION OF PEACE & the TRUTH should have been shouted from the DC Mosque in 2001 by G.W.Bush, instead of threatening the American People, if they were suspicious of their Muslim Neighbors.
A BIG THANK YOU TO Marjorie & KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
While Joe Biden & the Woke Military is inviting Brutal Afghani Muslims into our Country, we Citizens must STAND-By with the Truth, as OUR WEAPON.
mortimer says
After 20 years of fighting the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS, Americans may be 100% sure that Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’.
America’s first foreign war was with MUSLIM JIHADIST PIRATES off the coast of LIBYA. The jihadist pirates were working for the CALIPH OF ALL ISLAM in Constantinople.
tim gallagher says
Simple truth telling by this brave woman. Islam’s violent nature should be obvious to almost everyone by now. She joins politicians such as Geert Wilders, the Le Pens, Orban in Hungary, Waters in the UK, and some others in telling the truth about violent islam. The list of truth telling, courageous politicians is not long enough yet, but I applaud her for courageously telling the truth. The totally undeserved protection racket that evil, barbaric Islam enjoys has to stop.
mortimer says
As the Taliban now in Kabul shout ‘DEATH TO AMERICA’ and carry US flags on coffins, the message should now be clear to the slowest of learners that Islam is NOT a religion of peace, but a religion of JIHADIC WARFARE.
tim gallagher says
mortimer, I certainly hope that the violent nature of Islam, on display constantly throughout its horrendous 1400 year history, does get through to even the most foolish of these knuckleheads who keep refusing to see the truth and keep defending islam. It must annoy you, who have so much knowledge of islam’s nature, to have so many unbelievably slow learners around, who do run a protection racket for islam. I don’t have the detailed knowledge of islam, but I know enough about it to recognise the fundamentally evil nature of islam and I loathe the barbaric, rotten ideology
David says
Tim, there is an education to be had by looking at thereligionofpeace.com
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, David, and I will check it out. I have checked out a few web sites. Back when I was beginning to look into Islam a bit,(because I was trying to work out why Muslims always seemed to be causing so much trouble) probably around 20 years ago, I came across Robert Spencer’s book’ “Islam Unveiled” and Ibn Warraq’s “Why I am not a Muslim” and they opened my eyes quite a lot. I also came across a website by the ex Muslim, Ali Sina, I think it was called Faith Freedom, and that was informative. I learn a lot here at Jihad Watch, but will check out thereligionofpeace.com. Once I woke up to islam’s vile nature, I used to write to our Australian politicians, who I thought knew almost nothing about Islam, to try to wake them up. I always included those quotes from the Koran calling for Muslims to kill non-Muslims. I hope a few politicians might have got the message to some degree..
mortimer says
Yes. They are slow learners because they do not want to learn anything that will prevent them making alliances with Muslims.
For instance, if these ‘knuckleheads’ and blockheads knew about the TAQIYYA doctrine, most would never make a contract with a Muslim. Muslims are permitted to break any contract with kafirs in order to advance Islamic supremacism.
If TG is thirsty for more knowledge of Islam, read Robert Spencer’s books and view the videos of Bill Warner, PhD at the Center for the Study of Political Islam.
51% of Islam (by quantity of text) is POLITICAL, only 18% is about Allah, and the rest is about Mohammed. Mohammed is more important to a Muslim than Allah.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, mortimer. I have watched a little bit of Bill Warner on youtube, quite a while back., and was impressed. I enjoyed some of David Wood’s work on youtube. Thinking back, I recall that the most striking thing for me was when I first came across those quotes from the Koran which called on Muslims to go out and kill non-believers. Having been brought up as a Christian, where people are called on to love people, and also seeing that other religions, such as Buddhism preached peacefulness, I was stunned at the evil nature of islam. Those quotes did it for me more than anything else, along with other vile aspects of Islam. Islam is a loathsome ideology. Also, islam’s ideal man, Muhammad, if he existed, is such an evil creature.
Thinker1 says
Only if “peace” means dead non-muslims. See the New Democrat Dictionary.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the “reasons ” that Taylor Greene received such a negative reaction for what she said is because some people can’t stand to hear the truth. Therefore they just respond by calling names.
Another reason that Greene hostile reaction to her spoken words of truth is that this shows the deceptive Muslim influence and infection of Islamic power in America,

“Yea, the Taliban totally represents all of Islam. That’s why there are Muslims hanging off of planes trying to escape their rule.”
Facile thoughts like this are pervasive. In another context, an equally silly statement would be “Not all Americans believe the Second Amendment confers an individual right to own firearms. Therefore, it’s incorrect to claim that there is an individual right to own firearems in the U.S. #NotAllBelieve”
PRCS says
Yes, both an oxymoronic post and worse–as you noted–pervasive.
Well, In contrast to the standard denials, that individual does seem to realize the Taliban “fighters” ARE Muslims.
mortimer says
The ‘Islamophobia’ libel is crafted as a Trojan horse to bring in discriminatory Sharia law.
Cotrim says
Islam is the religion of hate, terrorism, racism, apartheid, slavery, war, bigotry, imperialism, colonialism, genocide, pedophile, female genital mutilation, child marriage, dictatorship and a lot of other crimes.
Islam is the ideology with more deaths in our history, more than socialism/communism. We must not forget that Islam has killed 270 million people since its conception.
David says
It is hard to see why anyone in their right mind would support such a ‘religion’, given your undeniable description (you left out ‘homophobic’)

Well done, Ms Greene, for stating the obvious!!
PRCS says
Democracy and theocracy–two systems of governance–each antithetical to and incompatible with the other.
We are governed by man made laws, as a representative democracy.
Islam is a totalitarian theocracy.
mortimer says
Disagree with PRCS. His argument exaggerates. Theocracy comes in many shapes and sizes. We observe that many free countries, nonetheless, have religious establishments in their constitutions, but are tolerant of minorities and dissenters, allowing them to participate as citizens with full rights . However, modern Muslims are trying to find a way to add tolerance to their Sharia law system. They have to reduce the impact of Sharia in order to give the right to kafirs to participate fully.
Islamism now means the full adoption of discriminatory Sharia. Sharia has a mitigating effect on full democracy, to be sure, but some parts of the Iranian system of government are democratic, for instance. ISIS and the Taliban make no pretence of being democratic.
American states (but not the federal government) still retain the right to make an establishment of religion. Some of the original American states were theocracies and democratic at the same time.
PRCS says
The “establishment of religion” clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Establishment_Clause
As a system of governance, Islam is a totalitarian theocracy.
That not all Muslims/Islamic States are not in full compliance with Islamic law/sharia does not negate that.
tgusa says
The Founding Fathers, an overwhelming majority Christians, prohibited the establishment of Christianity as the National religion. They knew even back then that Americans should have free choice.Free choice within the law Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness requires that, demands that.
tgusa says
Free choice within the law.

All Muslims obey the Koran. The Koran meets the definition of hate literature as defined in Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Muslims who have moved to democratic countries must work to modernize the Koran and remove all references to violence. It would end up being a far smaller book.
