Islamophobes Working Hard To Marginalize Moderate Muslims
Islamophobes [That's Us, Folks] Working Hard to Marginalize Moderate Muslims
Ingrid Mattson, Muslims at Democratic Convention, ISNA…
Fox News is confused about why the DNC would invite Ingrid
Mattson to an interfaith gathering on the eve of the DNC convention.
What’s so confusing?
Well, for starters, Ingrid Mattson, a scholar at Hartford Seminary, is a Muslim.
Furthermore, Ingrid Mattson is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a national, mainstream Muslim organization based in Plainfield, IN.
So what, you ask? I’m wondering the same thing – so what?The blogosphere (for example: see here, here and here) and necon pundits are tripping over one another Dr. Mattson’s involvement at the democratic convention.
Dr. Mattson is being labeled a radical and a terrorist sympathizer and her organization (ISNA) is being labeled a front from the Muslim Brotherhood. None of this is true, but when did truth ever get in the way of Islamophobes
A note from Radarsite: Well, here it comes: the Muslim spin cycle. Should we really be that surprised? Once again, the poor downtrodden Muslims are being misunderstood and the Religion of Peace is being maligned. And who are the evil forces at work this time, busily manipulating the facts and slandering Islam? Why it is none other than the “necon” Islamophobes. And who are these dark entities? Our intrepid Muslim reporter lists three: Atlas Shrugs, The Gates of Vienna, and yours truly, Radarsite. Thank you for that AMJ; I am honored to be in such fine company. But, I’m left to wonder — is there anyone out there who will actually fall for this claptrap? the answer, unfortunately, seems to be, Yes. There are still those liberal PC multicultural types who will eat this up, and automatically rally to the defense of the persecuted Muslims.
ISNA, a group related to the violent Muslim Brotherhood, was named by the U.S. government a co-conspirator for a 2007 federal trial which dealt with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.Also, as recently as last month, under Mattson’s watch, ISNA propagated material on its national website calling for the murder of Jews and the waging of war against Jews and Christians. The violent ISNA documents can be viewed here.

Islamophobia implies irrational fear and loathing. What is irrational about fearing and loathing an institution with a 1385 year track record of conquest, genocide & terrorism? What is irrational about loathing an institution which declared war on all persons who do not join it? I refer specifically to 8:39 & 9:29 and to Reliance of the Traveler, Book O.9.8-9.
The problem is not moderate or radical/extremist Muslims. The problem is the doctrines of Islam enshrined in the Koran and exemplified in the Hadith. Islam is only a problem because of the existence of believers who carry out those doctrines as Allah commands them to do in his timeless book. Read it and weep for the millions who have been tortured, murdered and enslaved by Islam since 623. Point your favorite search engine toward Koran or Qur’an, you’ll find it. It is not easy reading, but it is only 1/3 the Bible’s length. The civilization you save will be your own.
Love how they refute the facts proving her guilt.
“None of this is true…”
Well you sure convinced me with that well thought out, deeply researched response.
Thank you Ben.
And thank you Hard Right. That’s pretty typical though, isn’t it?
I see ignorance breeds more ignorance.
Yes, of course its “typical.” When people are accused of something that is not true they respond by saying why it isn’t true. ISNA is not a “radical Muslim front” anymore than the Catholic church is a front for mafia organizations (which could, using your twisted logic, also be claimed given the number of Italians – who, of course,all have Mafia ties – to the church).
This isn’t just bunk. It’s pure bunk.
