Soros-backed, Obama-allied group blames 'rich Jews' for stoking 'Islamophobia'

The Soros-backed Center for American Progress is blaming 'rich Jews' and Israel supporters for stoking the imaginary prejudice called 'Islamophobia.'
The Obama-allied Center for American Progress has released a report that blames Islamophobia in America on a small group of Jews and Israel supporters in America, whose views are being backed by millions of dollars. This "network", according to the news release, have "have worked hard to push narratives that Obama might be a Muslim, that mosques are incubators of radicalization, and that "radical Islam" has infiltrated all aspects of American society -- including the conservative movement.

Who are the figures mentioned as the promoters of prejudice? Most of them are prominent Jews and supporters of Israel, such as David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson (the founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism). The eight foundations mentioned as funding this effort include are almost exclusively ones founded and funded by Jewish donors, and lest readers not be aware of this fact, the Center for American Progress lists not only the other beneficiaries of the charities and foundations (most of them having Jewish or Israel in the title) but also goes to the trouble of naming the individuals behind these charities -- not just the donors but also those who serve on the boards.

Why include this additional information except to highlight that Jewish people are behind this effort to "defame" Muslims? By "outing" the people involved, the report puts endangers them. Furthermore, this "report" relies on the conspiracy and age-old anti-Semitic trope that Jews fan prejudice towards others and promotes divisions for their own nefarious purposes (to support Israel in this case). This mindset is straight out of Mein Kampf.

...

CAP has very close ties to the White House. It is headed by John Podesta, who was Bill Clinton's chief of staff, and headed Barack Obama's transition team. A man closely linked to the last 2 Democrat presidents is publishing this kind of material. Podesta's group remains influential with President Obama. Bloomberg News noted this relationship in its column, "Soros-funded Democratic Idea Factory Becomes Obama Policy Front." Some key administration officials have come from the CAP, as well. These include such anti-Israel figures as Van Jones, who, after he was forced to leave the White House when his views became known, returned to his sinecure at the Center.

Clearly, this is a well-funded effort to chill legitimate criticism of Islamic extremism in America. There are also political motivations behind this report since it also tries to refute allegations of ties between Muslims and Barack Obama. But what is most shameful about this "report" is that it employs classic anti-Semitic tropes, blaming conspiratorial Jews for stoking fear and hatred of Muslims.

This will work its magic in the Muslim world, a substantial fraction of which believes that "defaming" Islam is legitimately punishable by death at the hands of any righteous Muslim. By thoughtfully providing a hit list, the CAP does its part to spread fear and -- yes -- terror among the opponents of radical Islam.
Read the whole thing.

Someone please tell me that this time the Republicans will nominate a candidate who won't shy away from raising this sort of thing.

The statement is a lie. A pathetic attempt to play the anti semitic card.

The report blames a cadre of far right Zionist Jews and Christian Zionists who rabble rouse against Muslims for an agenda that goes against what America supports. Hence they need to keep up a flow of propoganda to convince people that their agenda is the same as right wing Zionism.


Someone please tell me that this time the Republicans will nominate a candidate who won't shy away from raising this sort of thing.

No candidate who supports this agenda will get elected, whether he is Republican or Democrat. I wish someone like Allen West who makes anti Islam noises now, WOULD be elected President. You'd see how he'd change his colours.


P.S.
If it does come down to a war with Islam as these rabble rousers want, everything connected to their cause anywhere in the world will be destroyed.

Can someone tell me what the latter part of this verse refers to


Devarim 31:29.

For I know that after my death, you will surely become corrupted, and deviate from the way which I had commanded you.

Consequently, the evil will befall you at the end of days, because you did evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.

About those quotation marks around the phrase "rich Jews"? Guess what phrase doesn't appear anywhere in the CAP report.

Yup, that's right.

Also, I wasn't aware Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, and Richard Mellon Scaife had all converted to Judaism.

I believe what we have here is a Category 5 FAIL.

“Attacking Islamophobia is a very important political process for us to follow in Britain,” stated Tony Benn, a British Labour Party politician and the second-longest serving member of parliament.

Aligned with his liberal background, the former cabinet minister argues the threat of Islamophobia across Europe must be challenged and overcome at the social, political and local levels.

REPORT: $42 Million From Seven Foundations Helped Fuel The Rise Of Islamophobia In America

The report, titled “Fear Inc.: The Roots Of the Islamophobia Network In America,” lifts the veil behind the hate, follows the money, and identifies the names of foundations who have given money, how much they have given, and who they have given to:

THE FUNDERS

THE AMOUNT

THE RECIPIENTS


Donors Capital Fund

$20,768,600

Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), Middle East Forum (MEF), Clarion Fund (Clarion), David Horowitz Freedom Center (Horowitz)

$7,875,000

Counterterrorism & Security Education and Research Foundation (CTSERF), Center for Security Policy (CSP), Horowitz

Newton and Rochelle Becker foundations

$1,136,000

IPT, CTSERF, MEF, CSP, Clarion, Horowitz, American Congress for Truth



Total

$42,575,295












The money has flowed into the hands of five key “experts” and “scholars” who comprise the central nervous system of anti-Muslim propaganda:


FRANK GAFFNEY, Center for Security Policy – “A mosque that is used to promote a seditious program, which is what Sharia is…that is not a protected religious practice, that is in fact sedition.” [Source]

DAVID YERUSHALMI, Society of Americans for National Existence: “Muslim civilization is at war with Judeo-Christian civilization…the Muslim peoples, those committed to Islam as we know it today, are our enemies.” [Source]

DANIEL PIPES, Middle East Forum: “All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most.” [Source]

ROBERT SPENCER, Jihad Watch: “Of course, as I have pointed out many times, traditional Islam itself is not moderate or peaceful. It is the only major world religion with a developed doctrine and tradition of warfare against unbelievers.” [Source]

STEVEN EMERSON, Investigative Project on Terrorism: “One of the world’s great religions — which has more than 1.4 billion adherents — somehow sanctions genocide, planned genocide, as part of its religious doctrine.” [Source]

These five “scholars” are assisted in their outreach efforts by Brigitte Gabriel (founder, ACT! for America), Pamela Geller (co-founder, Stop Islamization of America), and David Horowitz (supporter of Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch). As the report details, information is then disseminated through conservative organizations like the Eagle Forum, the religious right, Fox News, and politicians such as Allen West and Newt Gingrich.

Over the past few years, the Islamophobia network (the funders, scholars, grassroots activists, media amplifiers, and political validators) have worked hard to push narratives that Obama might be a Muslim, that mosques are incubators of radicalization, and that “radical Islam” has infiltrated all aspects of American society — including the conservative movement.

To explain how the Islamophobia network operates, we’ve produced this video to show just one example of how they have mainstreamed the baseless and unfounded fear that Sharia may soon replace American laws:

Chayma,

We're still waiting to hear what you have to say about last Thursday's terror attacks outside Eilat and about the rockets your 'Palestinian' friends shot at Israeli civilians over the past ten days.

What? But not what I have to say about not what I think about IDF retaliation, killing of innocents for what may or may not have been a Palestinian operation?

Wow! So does this mean Chayma thinks NATO can be induced to NUKE ISRAEL? RUKM?

There was speculation even after the attack, as to who or what they represented. The fact is, the IDF attacked Gaza, without knowing who or what the attackers were.

Avital Libovitz the IDF spokesperson, herself confirmed that they DID NOT say the PRC in Gaza were behind it. That misinformation came from Israeli politicians. Initially, the attackers could have been anyone, even a false flag right wing local, but then Egypt said, it had identified three at least. Now it's coming out, that there was a botched plan to cover up Egypt's terrorists, so that Israel could maintain it's "relationship" with Egypt.

If that is the case, why was Gaza attacked? Any attack on Gaza by the IDF if they knew the attackers were Egyptian was just plain murder, especially as innocents were killed inlcuding a four year old.

No I don't "think", I KNOW. Who said "induced"? No inducements needed.

You may be one of these deluded enough to believe your propoganda, but the fact is it wouldn't even get to the NATO state. The US would deal with it before then.

Poor Soros. I guess he ran out of Nazis to sell empty Jewish homes to.

Wait, an ambitious real-estate man like Soros can always make lemonade out of a lemon! If you empty Israel of its Jews, that creates a huge market in empty Jewish homes!

Just like the Old Days in Budapest!

Watch out, Israel, it's a Buyer's Market!
