It is quite annoying to hear Islamofascist rants like "behead those who insult Islam" or "America deserved 9/11." It is just as annoying to hear Islamophobic rants like "kill the Muzzies" or "Nuke Mekkah." But it's twice as annoying when this kind of a sentiment emanates from public figures.
Muslims Against Sharia proudly consider ourselves to be members of anti-Islamist community. As Muslims, some of have a first-hand experience of living under Islamist oppression. And we know all too well what the stakes are in the fight with Islamofascism.
However, some anti-Islamists are so consumed by hatred, that Islamofascists do not present a large enough target for them; they hate all Muslims. They rationalize their hate by claiming that all Muslims are the same and there are no moderate Muslims. "Bill Warner, an Islamophobe from Florida (not to be confused with Bill Warner, the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam) sums it up pretty well: "I (Bill Warner) totally agree with Debbie Schlussel , she hit the nail right on the head again, it is all a fraud, a Muslim fraud, there are no Moderate Muslims."
The good thing is that nobody really listens to Bill Warner, especially after he became a laughing stock when this self-proclaimed anti-Gihadist teamed up with CAIR lackey Jim Sutter and Islamofascist MT Akbar in a pathetic attempt to defame Khalim Massoud of MASH and Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs. The bad thing is that people listen to Debbie Schlussel. I used to listen to her too. Debbie has done some great work exposing government's ties with Islamofascists. Unfortunately, this is not all she has done.
Putting aside her tendency to defame other anti-Islamists who don't see eye-to-eye with Debbie (she regularly calls Steven Emerson, Brigitte Gabriel, John Loftus, and Walid Shoebat liars and frauds) or her tendency to think that she is the only true conservative diva (she nearly bit the head off one of her commenter's head, because she dared to say that Laura Ingraham is a conservative; Monica Crowley, according to Debbie, is a no-talent phony,) Debbie doesn't see any difference between Muslims and Islamofascist.
May 25, 2009 was a dark day for anti-Islamist Muslims. Dagestan's Deputy Mufti, Akhmed-khadzhi Tagayev was murdered, presumably by Wahhabi terrorists. Ahmed Tagaev was known for his anti-extremist stance. He has repeatedly written about problems of Islamic extremism in his articles in local media and online.
But Debbie doesn't see it that way. In her demented rant, "Your Day in "Religion of Peace" Intra-"Peacefulness"," Debbie writes: "Don't kid yourself and believe--as claimed by the Interfax news agency in this artic--that Tagayev, the Deputy Chief Mufti of Dagestan, was some sort of moderate merely because he opposed Wahhabist Islam and was shot by them. The guy was extremist as most Muslim clerics are, just not on the same extremist side as the Wahhabis are." I wonder how well she knew Ahmed Tagaev. I knew him, and he was no extremist. He was fighting extremists and he paid the ultimate price, but for Debbie he's just another dead Muslim. Shouldn't the thought that CAIR and ISNA are probably quietly rejoicing the death of their enemy at least give her a pause? I doubt that. For people like Debbie, the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.
Commenting on "The Coordination Center of North Caucasus Muslims will soon hold a meeting, where it will raise the issue of how to protect Islamic clergy from extremists," Debbie writes: "Correction: Islamic clergy are extremists." Granted, vast majority of Islamic clergy in America are extremists. Extremists paid for by Wahhabi petrodollars. The same Wahhabi petrodollars that Ahmed Tagaev was fighting against. Would Debbie also characterize Sheikh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi, an Islamic cleric who is more pro-Israel than most American Jews, as an extremist?
Suppose Debbie is seething with Islamophobia so much, she can't help herself, but rejoice every time a Muslim dies. But how about some common sense? Will attitude like hers make on-the-fence Muslims think, "hey, those anti-Islamists are not that bad, they are against Islamism, not against Muslims" or would they think, "Osama is right; they hate all Muslims and we have to defend ourselves"? Doesn't she understand that she may be doing more harm than good when it comes to the War on Terror? Or does she care as long as her self-righteousness is satisfied?
