WMAL's Continuing Descent into Dhimmitude (Updated)

Yesterday, we addressed, on this blog, CAIR's fresh attacks on WMAL radio in Washington, DC. CAIR protested Geoff Metcalf's on-air remarks about Islamic deception practices. Mr. Metcalf, by the way, is replacing Michael Graham. We also published material extensively exposing deceptive practices which are a integral to Islam and your blood is to your body--once again putting the lie to anything CAIR does.

We are spending so much time and effort on the WMAL issue because what is involved in this assault by CAIR has devastating ramifications for all of talk radio and ultimately, the abrogation of the First Amendment to our Constitution. We knew that many details about internal dhimmitudinous behavior at WMAL would come out, and that is happening. We recently published an article looking at this event and its long term meaning, American Dhimmitude: Graham and Tancredo vs the Dhimmi Makers and the Dhimmis Made. We have also published much on the WMAL saga on this blog from late July 2005 to the present. We will continue to deal with this issue as long as these fundamental threats to our country remain.

This date, Steven Salinsky published information about internal dhimmitude at WMAL, on Front Page Magazine. Here is an excerpt:

FrontPage magazine.com :: CAIR Silences Its Critics by Steven Stalinsky , August 4, 2005

[Re:] July 25 interview between CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper and a sympathetic Chris Core, who hosts a radio show on the same station as Mr. Graham. Mr. Hooper was brought on the air to discuss statements Mr. Graham made and used the opportunity to further CAIR’s ongoing unofficial Da’wa campaign of Islamic missionary activity to teach Americans about Islam and to influence them to convert.

During the interview, Core asked Hooper to address Western criticism of the Koran’s commandments for Muslims to kill infidels. Mr. Hooper said “that was nonsense,” explaining that while there are such verses; they only refer to military campaigns during the time of Mohammed. [Ed. note: Does this mean that Muhammad is still alive since all of Islamia RIGHT NOW is aflame with JIHAD? ] This does not jibe with the views and teachings of leading Islamist scholars throughout the world.

The program got interesting when Core asked Hooper to explain the concept of jihad. He said, “Jihad is a respected concept in Islam. Jihad does not mean flying planes into buildings. It does not mean blowing up subway...I just read a Tradition of the Prophet, it's called a hadith...It said, ‘the best jihad is to speak a word of truth to an oppressive ruler’...Jihad in its military sense means a Muslim nation having a standing army, people in uniforms there to defend the borders, to prevent invasions, to do anything any normal army does, for any nation. That's what a real jihad is. It has to be called by a legitimate government...It's like having the U.S. army only it’s in the Muslim context.” [Ed. Note: Did Chris Core buy the bridge at this point? ]

Hooper complained that jihad is only reported on when it is referred to as “holy war,” which has been “misused by people on both sides of the spectrum.” The way in which Hooper and CAIR define jihad to Americans is misleading. According to the Islamic Affairs Department of Saudi Arabia's embassy in Washington, D.C., one definition of jihad is the following: “The Muslims are required to raise the banner of Jihad in order to make the Word of Allah supreme in this world, to remove all forms of injustice and oppression, and to defend the Muslims. If Muslims do not take up the sword, the evil tyrants of this earth will be able to continue oppressing the weak and [the] helpless.” Muslims are now taking up the sword; where is CAIR’s outrage?

(Emphases mine)

"Come, tell me anything, and I will believe." There is nothing more dangerous than ignorance combined with intense lack of curiosity along with a willingness to believe whatever you are told. Mr. Core at WMAL represents the dhimmi faction at WMAL quite well. Mr. Hooper represents, well, you know.
