My latest in PJ Media:
In his pre-taped remarks (how many takes were needed to get a coherent version?) on the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks that killed 2,977 people, Old Joe Biden lamented the fact, as Matt Margolis noted yesterday, that since that terrible day, “we also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion.”
Of course. There is no justification whatsoever under any circumstances for violence against innocent Muslims, or any innocent people. But it was unfortunate that Biden once again repeated this hoary and easily disproven chestnut about Islam being a “peaceful religion”; at this point this idea is nothing more than a dogma of the Leftist faith, not to be questioned, and not subject to rational consideration.
Yet it has no basis in reality. One would think that Biden’s handlers, as they scripted this speech, might have been given pause by the fact that as the Taliban moved into Kabul last month, Taliban commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa told CNN: “It’s our belief that one day, mujahedin will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day.” Or by another Taliban commander saying just last week, “We want Islamic law, and not just in Afghanistan.”
That commander did not have in mind millions of people going to the ballot box and voting for Islamic law; what he was envisioning was more violent jihad in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, in order to establish the hegemony of Sharia wherever possible.
No doubt Biden’s handlers, if they took any notice of such remarks from Taliban commanders at all, dismissed them as yet more evidence of the Taliban’s “misunderstanding” of Islam. It is taken for granted now among non-Muslim policymakers in the United States and Europe that groups such as the Taliban, ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ash-Shabaab and so very many others twist and hijack the peaceful teachings of Islam; at the same time, these groups continue to grow in power and influence, making recruits among peaceful Muslims by presenting themselves as the authentic exponents of Islamic texts and teachings.
There is more. Read the rest here.

If only Biden was a dope, which he surely is, still “merely” one of 100 Senators in the US Senate.
But he is far worse than this, to wit, he is a former Vice-President (absolutely convinced that Obama chose him back in 2008 for VP because, even though Obama is full of bad ideas, he is still very clever and he needed a nothing as VP that would never, ever, challenge him; in other words, if you get my meaning, a good dhimmi).
Now the dope (and with dementia no less) is POTUS. You can thank the Democratic Party and some 60 million fools for this (this does not take into account the 15-20 million bogus votes for Biden).
It’s the Late Roman Empire redux is indeed the age we are now living in, “complemented” by the Islamic world, the traditional authoritarian world (examples being China and Russia) and the forever dysfunctional world (e.g., Latin America) doing their “bit” to ruin mankind. Yes, a la Yogi Berra, it’s deja vu all over again.
This is where America is right now, i.e., a fraudulently elected President who is to his very being an utter mediocrity and a mediocrity with dementia no less—and surrounded by handlers who are about as base of Americans ever produced in the political sphere, including the monstrosity which is Pelosi and the inveterate liar, Schiff, never mind those in the Executive Branch such as Klain and Rice.
America is drifting. And when America drifts, the entire world drifts.

Wellington,
Your comment brought to my mind, tired and overloaded this night, the image of a rubber lifeboat.
The lifeboat is carrying too many people, it is raining and some of the passengers are trying to bail water to keep all afloat.
The “captain” at the helm has in his hand, an ice pick, and is busy poking holes.
I hope your night is “swell” and I think, though I could be mistaken, I’ll watch an old movie and take my tired mind off all of this.
James Lincoln says
Wellington says,
“America is drifting.”
True, but I’ll take it even further than that:
America is slowly sinking – and very drastic measures are quickly needed in order to right-the-ship.
The 2020 US Presidential election needs to be pulled down – even some moderate Democrats that I know personally agree.

On 9/11 Anniversary, Biden Repeats False Claim That Islam Is a ‘Peaceful Religion’
………….
President Bush believing this 20 years ago was harmful, but few then knew much about Islam. Biden repeating this *now* is unforgivable.
tim gallagher says
Spot on, gravenimage. As you say, maybe 20 years ago, plenty of people knew little about islam, including Presidents and other politicians. But 20 years later, and around 40,000 Muslim terrorist attacks later, this crap from Biden is unbelievable. I suppose his handlers would have written the speech for Biden, so, as you say, it is unforgivable. I think Biden himself wouldn’t have a clue what is going around him, he is so out of touch with reality that he would genuinely believe that islam is completely peaceful, so he surely must have been given the speech to merely read out or recite. It is so hard to understand why there are so many people, especially politicians and media types, who keep lying and trying to protect islam by telling us it is peaceful. Then again, I just thought that Biden was Obama’s Vice President, so I suppose Obama would have been continually telling Biden that Islam, which Obama seemed to love so much, was peaceful and wonderful. I despair about many people. It seems that no matter what atrocities Muslims commit, how much evidence there is about the fundamental violence in Islam, some imbeciles will never ever wake up.

Remember, during the campaign:
Joe Biden says Muslims would serve ‘at every level’ in his administration

tim gallagher says
I had forgotten that Biden had said that, PRCS, until you mentioned it, then I did recall that he had made that comment. Thanks for the comments, mortimer, Wellington and gravenimage. This continuing protection racket that so many people keep running for Islam, telling us all that islam is basically peaceful, when there is so much evidence of how violent Islam is, is truly bizarre and sickening. It is not the way to fight against an obvious enemy of our way of life, which islam so plainly is.
gravenimage says
Thanks for reminding us of this insanity, PRCS. This was not a case of considering a particular Muslim to be right for a specific post–harmful enough, in most cases–but of specifically *seeking them out*, despite the terrible threat to Americans.
Here are some of the Muslims in Biden’s administration:
https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/meet-the-south-asian-and-muslim-americans-in-biden-s-cabinet-43367
Several of them are “Palestinian” or from Kashmir–areas specifically known for breeding Jihad terrorists.
He has named a Muslim to head the religious freedom office–Rasha Hussein–given Islam’s crusing of religious freedom, this could not be more grotesque. He was previously U.S. Special Envoy to the appalling Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Under Obama he was perversely U.S. Special Envoy for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications. He criticized the “snide tone” of ISIS defectors. Unbelievable. Unsurprisingly, he pushed for the “role of Islam” in counter-terrorism.
He also was also behind the trip of Imams to Auschwitz. This repulsive Taqiyya was opposed by the ADL.
https://www.salon.com/2010/08/23/foxman_lobbies_against_auschwitz_trip/
Many of these Imams are involved with antisemitism today.
PRCS says
At the bottom of that TRTWORLD magazine, I noted the link (vowed to add Muslims) links to this YouTube video:
US: Biden vows to add Muslims to cabinet | News Bulletin | Indus News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L2ZJA3Ms7Q
in which the news reader notes that Biden wished more Americans were taught in public schools about the Islamic faith.
Well, if it’s just the facts and nuttin’ but the facts, so do I.
Re: those Imams. As I recall, they tried (in some way) to hog the show and their Salon letter contained a very typical bit of taqiyya:
“In Islam, the destruction of one innocent life is like the destruction of the whole of humanity and the saving of one life is like the saving of the whole of humanity (Holy Qu’ran, al-Ma’idah “the Tablespread” 5:32).”
Of course.
PRCS says
Yes, Tim, the now leader of the free world did say that, and Muslims around the world were–for a moment in time–happy.
Very happy.
peter says
Biden is an idiot no doubt but do not think he is ignorant about Islam . He is appealing to his base ,mainly Pakistanis,muslims and left winger . Hie is a politician first and everything else second . He is not only idiotic but he is also untruthful and most insincere.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Peter, they are very often cynical creeps these politicians. They always mainly have an eye on looking after number one, themselves, and what is good for their careers rather than caring about doing the right thing for the citizens of their country. Anything that will help them climb the greasy pole and then cling onto their exalted positions is all that many of them are about..

He is so weak and frail that he falls UP the stairs. Enemies of the United States understand how physically unfit he is and how cognitively impaired he is. They are all waiting for the right moment to further weaken US influence around the world.
More attacks like that of the Taliban in Afghanistan will ensue in the next six months.

If Islam is a religion of peace then why are Muslim countries called Dar al Islam, while non-Muslim countries are called Dar al Harb?
Note: (Dar al Harb = land of war… i.e. warfare directed by Muslims against unconquered non-Muslims)

fadeye@yahoo.com,
The country with max casualty in a single day because of Islamic terror has had a change of heart to become the biggest state sponsor of Jihad. Good observation.
From now on, all the Islamic terrorists are going to be kind and grateful to US. America has never produced a leader like Biden who has shown enormous wisdom and sagacity, ensuring peace till the last day. /sarc offf
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden both a pathological and chronic liar. For when he said that “Islam is a peaceful religion.” The despicable fiendish villain Biden is keeping with his lying character.
For on September 11, 2001 those murderous and destructive and deadly jihad attacks by jihadist/Muslims of al Qaeda were not acting out in a hijacked form of Islam but actual Quran based non-watered down hard core. As the Quran teaches in 9:111, “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Likewise, this “holy book” of Islam also instructs in 47:4 “Whenever you encounter the disbeliever strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
The terrible reality is that using jets planes as missiles as those jihadists did on 9/11 do does ,tragically , make a much greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can. There are the other verses the give instruction for violence and killing for the cause of Islam, as 2:191. 5:33. 8:39.9:5, 38-39.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is a chronic liar. For example as observed and heard said the Islam is a peaceful religion.
In addition that the word Islam doesn’t really means “peace.” As seen in the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.” It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change.
The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign is deception campaign is now aided by Biden.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is a chronic liar. For when he said that “Islam is a peaceful religion.” The despicable fiendish villain Biden is keeping with his lying character.
Furthermore what is called “Radical Islamic Terrorism” , is very much based on religion. The religion of Islam For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.
Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject.
For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.]
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.
