Islam & Arabia - ILANA MERCER

“What do you know? When compared with Sunni Islam (for example, Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabism), a faction of Islam with whose practitioners the West feels much more simpatico—Shia Islam (Iran’s poison of choice) is more enlightened. Yet America and Israel side with Saudi Arabia, the epitome of Sunni insanity.”—ILANA Mercer, “Afghanistan: Bringing The Military-Industrial Complex Home,” August 26, 2021.
“The crucial difference between Iran’s Quds Force and America’s Special Operations forces (SOF) is that the former is regional, the latter global.”—ILANA Mercer, “The U.S. As Globe’s Judge, Jury And Executioner,” The Ron Paul Institute, January 10, 2020
“America, sad to say, still doesn’t know Shia from Shinola.”—ILANA Mercer, “The U.S. As Globe’s Judge, Jury And Executioner,” The Ron Paul Institute, January 10, 2020
“All Muslims can thrive in America. But not all Americans will thrive in the presence of Muslims. This is because the faith of Muslims is Islam. And Islam—the real or the imposter variety; it matters not—predisposes to violence. Some Americans will be hurt or die as a result of importing members of this militant faith.”—ILANA Mercer, “A Muslim Ban Is Logical, Moral, Even Libertarian,” The Daily Caller, November 3, 2017.
“Violent Jihad is not an ideology, as our Moderate Muslim friends keep calling it. Jihad is a pillar of a faith. That faith is Islam.”—ILANA Mercer, “A Muslim Ban Won’t Kill Americans — Accepting Them Might,” The Unz Review, November 2, 2017.
“While most Muslims are not terrorists, an unusually large number is willing to dabble in the lifestyle.”—ILANA Mercer, “A Muslim Ban Won’t Kill Americans — Accepting Them Might,” WND.com, November 2, 2017.
“The fact that there are moderate Muslims doesn’t mean there is a moderate Islam.”—ILANA Mercer, “A Muslim Ban Is Logical, Moral, Even Libertarian,” The Daily Caller, November 3, 2017.
“Statistics are silly unless given context. If you have one foot in fire, the other in ice, can we legitimately say that, on average, you’re warm? Hardly. Probabilities, in this case the chance that any one of us will die-by-Muslim, are statistically insignificant—unless this happens to you or to yours, to me or mine.”—ILANA Mercer, “Barcelona and Beyond: How Politicians & Policy Wonks Play God With Your Life,” American Thinker, August 20, 2017.
“Life with Islam is life under Islam and its enablers.”—ILANA, The Unz Review, April 4, 2017.
“One defining issues over which New Conservatives and liberals practically converge: Islam is peaceful, except for a few bad Abduls.”—ILANA (March 18, 2016)
“When a vulnerable American boy hears preachers, parents, pedagogues and politicians pounding on about our country’s Founding Fathers as the archetypal pale, patriarchal oppressors—he quickly learns to reject his country’s heritage and look elsewhere for masculine inspiration, maybe even at Muhammad.” —ILANA MERCER, “Emasculated West Primed For A Muscular, Muslim Takeover,” July 29, 2016
“Donald Trump’s political rivals look at the price exacted by a Muslim like Syed Farouk and his bride in the aggregate. To a politician, 14 lives in 322 million is a small price to pay for ‘our freedoms.’ Fourteen dead is not a steep price to pay for unfettered immigration from Islamic countries, peddled politically as ‘our values,’ ‘our tolerance,’ ‘our greatness.’ This callous calculus is second nature to politicians like Lindsey Graham or Darth Vader Cheney. Not to Trump.”—ILANA (December 11, 2015)
“Private-enterprise driven considerations are aimed at conserving, not squandering, scarce resources. If it loses an asset, the Trump Organization hurts. Good businessmen are programmed differently than politicians. As a tremendously gifted entrepreneur, Donald Trump is averse to squandering scarce resources, money or manpower. By contrast, politicians do not understand the natural economic reality of scarcity. They control the production of money for their promiscuous purposes and they exert power over millions of interchangeable people in their territorial jurisdiction.”—ILANA (December 11, 2015)
“Statistics are funny things. Insignificant probabilities, in this case an attack on each one of us, are immaterial unless they happen to YOU or ME. It is this calculus that politicians peddle. They rely on the fact that we’ll adopt their sloganeering because each one of us is unlikely to die by Muslim. Such is life: C’est la vie, so long as it doesn’t happen to me.”—ILANA (December 11, 2015)
“The inmates are running the American and European asylum, where The People are the real refugees. Patriots who promise no more than to make the West safe for its people again; the gilded traitor elite threatens with court orders served upon them by Jihadis.”—ILANA (December 4, 2015)
“Until the Islamic reformation is codified, those in the know—know-nothing Obama is not among them—will look upon the Islamic State as a religious, literalist, millenarian, apocalyptic group that is as Islamic as the Prophet and his band of belligerents during the Medina years.”—ILANA (February, 20, 2015)
“How was the West vanquishing the enemies of free speech? In response to the craven, yet characteristic, massacre of staff at the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, hundreds of thousands of Europeans—in Barcelona, Brussels, London, Paris, Nice, Lyon—came outen masseto plonk teddy bears on sidewalks and point pens and pencils to the heavens. ‘Winning,’ as Charlie Sheen would say.”—ILANA (January 16, 2015)
“You might say that the term ‘radical Islam’ is something of a redundancy. Islam is radical, and by extension, so are its true believers. Some, like ISIS or ISIL, are simply more devoted than others”—ILANA (August 22, 2014)
“The West either admits Muhammadans through mass immigration, or grows them at home in hothouses of multiculturalism.”—ILANA (August 22, 2014)
“Be it for Jihad or germs, the government prohibits rational profiling. As to Jihad, airport personnel screen everybody alike, grandma from Nebraska and Abdullah from Mecca. As to germs, the CDC advises screening for symptoms of the Ebola disease. If a traveler is ‘asymptomatic,’ CDC guidelines, given with government imprimatur, prohibit the detention or quarantine of nationals or residents from the ‘hot zone’ countries. All this is in the service of the deadly dogma of political correctness.”—ILANA Mercer, “Dying For Obama’s Deadly Dogma,” October 17, 2014
“The affinity for Islam that made-in-the-West murderers exhibit is secondary to their contempt for our helplessness. They are killers first, who prey on the kind of people who look to Big Brother to rescue them, dupe them; and tell them what’s what. Islam is muscular and murderous all right. It feeds those with compatible cravings. That murderers mouth Muhammadan mantras is, however, incidental to the fact that they know they can act on their fantasies with impunity. After all, they live among an emasculated, enfeebled people, lacking in core beliefs; the kind of people who look to Big Brother to rescue them, dupe them; and tell them what’s what.”—ILANA (May 24, 2013)
“In order to pass a rights-violating draft constitution, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi attempted to force a Faustian bargain on his people, sidelining a branch of government (the judiciary) and stacking another (parliament). For that, he came under attack. An admirably rebellious people, Egyptians distrust decrees from their dictators; Americans don’t even blink as their top dogs issue one after the other. These diktats we call executive orders. … As Egyptians fight Mr. Morsi, Americans are pinned down like butterflies by the monarch who sits in 1600 Pennsylvania.”—ILANA (December 7, 2012)
“If only symbolically, a gold revolution across Arabia and Africa would have outweighed by far the significance of a democratic revolution.”—ILANA (August 26, 2011)
On the Mega Mosque at Ground Zero: “Muslim culture is a macho one; they purchase property and raise building to their faith and its political mission. Western contemporary culture has become a feminine one; we cry publically, perhaps punch the air in impotent rage, and carry signs asking our S&M masters (elected officials included) to show us some love.” —ILANA (June 18, 2010)
“If Christians raised a cathedral at Liberty St. and Church St., most Americans would not mind. If the Hari Krishna set up a place of worship in the vicinity, and bobbed up and down the exact complex in Lower Manhattan, Americans would smile benignly. Ditto if a Jewish tabernacle were to be erected around the corner; this reaction would not have occurred. It’s in the faith of Islam and its adherents that Americans have no faith.” —ILANA (June 18, 2010)
“Restricting acquisitive property rights in a free society should never be entertained. As far as I can tell, then, all anti-Mega-Mosque activists are requesting is kindness and consideration from those they regard as conquistadors. How dhimmi” —ILANA (June 18, 2010)
“On Journalists & Jihadis: “If you’re a swarthy supremacist, driven by devotion to a vampiric prophet and his deity, you can count on the ‘discretion’ of those whose job description is vigilant indiscretion.”—ILANA (June 12, 2009)
“Islamic terrorism is the handiwork of people who’ve heeded, not hijacked, Islam.”—ILANA (March 17, 2006)
“Islam doesn’t brook reason or reformation and is commanded to will the world to its ways.”—ILANA (September 22, 2006)
“That Islam counsels conquest, not coexistence, is ultimately what has given the pope pause.”—ILANA (September 22, 2006)
“Whenever a Muslim woman’s genitals are infibulated, when she is flogged for having been raped, killed for “honor,” or betrothed at age nine, Islam’s aficionados invariably claim these barbarisms are a manifestation of cultural peculiarities, or of the imposter, inauthentic Islam.”—ILANA (December 7, 2007)
“What do you fear most? Your youngster ‘finding’ Jesus, Jehovah, or Allah? Faced with those choices, would you prefer that she come home one day wearing a black nose bag, and clutching a Quran and a prayer mat, or dressed in a long skirt, nose in the Hebrew or Christian Testament?”—ILANA (August 31, 2007)
“In Islam, provided they’re Muslim, the murderous, not the meek, shall inherit the earth.”—ILANA (November 24, 2006)
“In the ‘progressive’s’ universe, evil actions don’t incriminate, they mitigate. Rather than signify a lack of moral fiber, the criminality of the darling buds of France—her raging Muslim youths— is said to be a symptom of inadequate freebies and fraternité.”—ILANA (November 11, 2005)
“Whenever a Muslim commits odious acts in the name of his faith, these are deemed—post haste and post hoc—a manifestation of the inauthentic Islam.”—ILANA (September 15, 2006)
“Unlike Iranian Holocaust humor, there is no objective reason to label the Danes and their drawings immoral—they have violated Islamic, not Western, strictures. This slur is based on the demands of cultural relativism and cowardice.”—ILANA (March 10, 2006)
“So long as it’s voluntary and doesn’t involve The Rack … unleashing an army of missionaries on the Islamic patrimony would be far more efficacious than the military offensives currently underway.”—ILANA (February 23, 2005)
“On the Danish Cartoons: The camel in the room… is legal and unselective immigration…A culturally coherent immigration policy is the best defense. Unless Bush does his constitutional duty, it’ll be only a matter of time before the first American Theo van Gogh is stuck like a pig on our streets.”—ILANA (February 10, 2006)
“While throwing money and men to Moloch, the commander in chief ignores that the Arab Street has always been more militant than its leaders…The only way Bush will get the democracy he desires in the Arab world is by dissolving the people and electing another, to paraphrase Bertold Brecht.”—ILANA (February 3, 2006)
“Our adventurous foreign policy might be a necessary condition for Muslim aggression but it is far from a sufficient one.”—ILANA (July 19, 2005)
“…the catalog of Muslim complaints and contrivances is a little longer than the excuse-makers allow. Violence against innocent nonbelievers and the infliction of Shari’a are as integral to Muslim exegetics as are declamations about occupation.”—ILANA (July 19, 2005)
“Based on Muslims’ own say-so… it’s both disingenuous and stupid of Islam’s champions to claim categorically that Muslim aggression is entirely reactive, a function solely of our misguided foreign policy.”—ILANA (July 19, 2005)
“…an estimated 100 to 300 million Muslims are active adherents of Islamism: small potatoes, right? Yet to listen to the Bush/Blair pair, you’d think that Jihadists are as alien to Islam as edelweiss is to the Kalahari.”—ILANA (July 26, 2005)
“Our Demagogue-in-Chief insists that democracy will both empower and pacify Muslims. [But] Democratic elections across the Muslim world would see the pan-Islamists take power everywhere; then elections would cease.”—ILANA (January 26, 2005)
