Acknowledging Everything, Solving Nothing

 Brian C. Joondeph   

"Yet none of those actions has repaired potholes, reduced auto theft or other crimes, improved educational outcomes, shortened emergency response times, or made downtown feel safer after dark."

"Not long ago, I attended a Sunday service at a Methodist church in Denver.

"Before the service began, the pastor introduced herself, shared her preferred pronouns, and informed the congregation that we were worshipping on stolen Native American land.

"I remember wondering why, if the land had truly been stolen, the church still owned it. I wrote about it on these pages. 

"Now Denver’s City Council wants to add another public ritual to official meetings.

"Not a prayer.

"Not the Pledge of Allegiance.

"Not even a moment of silence.

"A labor acknowledgment recognizing slavery and its legacy.

"The proposal is curious for one obvious reason.

"Colorado entered the Union in 1876 — more than a decade after the Civil War ended — as a free state. No one currently living in Colorado was ever enslaved, and no one currently living in Colorado owned slaves here.

"Yet before city business can begin, elected officials may soon be expected to acknowledge historical events that occurred generations before anyone in the room was born.

"The ritual keeps growing.

"First came pronouns. Then land acknowledgments. Now slave acknowledgments.

"One wonders what comes next." . . .  More...

Abdul El-Sayed to Speak at Conference Calling for Muslim Takeover of U.S. |

"And Abdul El-Sayed’s participation makes it clear that he’s comfortable with calls to conquer the United States, to murder millions of people and to subjugate all non-Muslims to Islamic Supremacism."

And you came for one reason—for one reason only—to establish Allah’s deen,” Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), had told Muslims, “democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam.”

“Muslims in America are the most strategic Muslims on Earth,” the top Islamic figure, who has posed with numerous politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, said.

“If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”

“If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate,” the unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing predicted. “Take my word, if eight million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”

“If we put a nationwide infrastructure in place and marshaled our resources, we’d take over this country in a very short time,” Imam Zaid Shakir, a repeat ISNA guest, preached. “What a great victory it will be for Islam to have this country in the fold and ranks of the Muslims.”

“Every Muslim who is honest would say, I would like to see America become a Muslim country.”

“I believe that as Muslims we should participate in the system to safeguard our interest and try to bring gradual change for the right cause, the cause of truth and justice. We must not forget that Allah’s rules have to be established in all lands, and all our efforts should lead to that direction,”  Muzammil Siddiqi, a co-founder of ISNA, had said." . . .

Virginia Salon Owner Boots Jewish Israeli Customer — Then Her Own Video Makes It Even Worse

"Karimi's own explanation was that Walton “would have slid by” if she had agreed there was a genocide and said she did not support the Israeli government."

"Jessica Walton says her eyebrow appointment at Karimi Brows in Alexandria ended when the owner, Fatana Karimi, told her to leave. Walton is Jewish and Israeli-American. Karimi later posted part of the argument herself.

"Walton said she and Karimi had spent much of the appointment talking about Afghanistan. Walton had recently finished a novel partly set there and told Karimi about the Afghans she had interviewed, as well as their shared interest in Afghan poetry and food." . . .

. . . "The trouble started, Walton said, after she described the novel's Jewish half-Israeli character and mentioned that she was Jewish and half-Israeli herself.

"Karimi told her to leave, according to Walton.

"Get out of my shop."

"Excuse me?"

"I can't provide service to an Israeli. It's against my political beliefs. You need to leave immediately."

"Walton says Karimi also told her there was “no such thing as Israel” and described Israel as Palestine stolen by Jews. Karimi's own video starts later, after the two women were already arguing, so those remarks aren't on the clip. 

"Writer Gary Weiss posted Walton's account Friday and also pointed to the video Karimi had released from the salon." . . .
