Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Geert Wilders a fascist?

Excellent point! Islam never had a King and Pope duality, and the religious tenets of their faith prevent such a difference from emerging. The Caliph was either the national ruler, or subordinated to the national ruler (under the Ottomans for example). There was no co-existence. The ruler in Islam, whether it is the prophet or subsequent caliphs, is not only the administrative authority, but is also the highest religious authority. from www.islam-usa.com

From the pro-Muslim website Al Islam In the domain of international relations, religion and inter-religious relations occupy an important position. Unfortunately, comparatively little attention is paid to this aspect of human relations. It is assumed that religion is a private matter for each individual and should, therefore, have no direct connection with the political, social aspects of life. This assumption is not justified. Islam being an egalitarian religion, is not just a personal faith, but an all-encompassing codes of values and conduct. Rusty needs to have a little respect for other peoples and faiths and actually listen and read what they say about themselves. Too many liberals and conservatives assume Islam is just like Christianity with a different name. It reeks of arrogance to assume that Muslims can be defined by what we find acceptable. They have their own history, culture, language, and beliefs and nothing we say, or do will have any great impact on that. They have been at war with the west and others, for 1,400 years and we are not the special and unique snowflake that will suddenly change their conduct.

The fascist conspiracy grows ever more threatening! More fascist authors revealed on that website you posted. Run and tell Charles so he can cast them into the outer darkness! Chomsky, Noam Clausewitz, Carl von de Gaulle, Charles Huntington, Samuel P Moore, Michael Solschenizyn, Alexander

He does admit it. He just doesn't care! Charles Johnson's comment. (under classic misdirection thread) 2 Charles 4/25/09 9:32:31 am reply quote re: #1 rightside In my opinion the lower photo is the original. It appears they were inserted into the top photo, as evidenced by the lighting on them not matching the background. my 2 cents. Maybe, but it doesn't matter.

you are accusing Charles of using a photoshopped image. It's not an accusation. It's a fact. He is using a photo-shopped image and he doesn't care. You know this as well as I do. He has stated so on his website. Alright, the background of the photo was altered (not by Charles, by the way). I assume Charles Johnson didn't alter it himself, or get someone else to do it for him. Neither I nor you know this for a fact however. At a minimum we know Charles Johnson's sources are abysmal and this is the result. Charles Johnson has clearly displayed the fact that he doesn't have the slightest idea what he is talking about. He doesn't know, or is so corrupt that he doesn't care, who the Antifa are, he has no idea what Fascism is, or who might actually be one. He is of course absolutely certain they are hiding under his bed. Charles Johnson is a leftist who is known in the business as a "useful idiot". He utilizes far left groups as his sources and you sit wondering why your 'fake, but accurate' song and dance isn't being taken seriously? Charles 'I see Nazis' Johnson is a joke! Should I take him seriously when he, or you by proxy claim someone is a Pro-Jewish, Pro-Israeli, Fascist, or is that Anti-Fascist Nazi's as displayed in the photo?

This is Charles Johnson's comment with regards to the photo being a fake. Post by Charles responding to rightside... re: #1 rightside In my opinion the lower photo is the original. It appears they were inserted into the top photo, as evidenced by the lighting on them not matching the background. my 2 cents. Maybe, but it doesn't matter. I think Dan Rather said it best..."fake, but accurate"

The background of this photo was photoshopped, but why the hell should someone put Antifa's behind Beisicht to proof that he is a Nazi? This makes absolute no sense. Good question? Have you asked Charles Johnson that question? He is after all the one who posted it on his website. His basic fact checking is pretty poor when it comes to something that he wants to believe is true. His grasp of who is a fascist and who is not is also pretty spotty if he has no idea who the Antifa are. That should give you pause, but it won't.

Well, I have a brother who is a Paranoid Schizophrenic and you are correct that his actions are compatible with PS, but there is no way to know if that is in fact the case. It is equally possible he is repositioning himself the same way other media personalities have to the new power in Washington. A tame 'conservative' like Meghan McCain gets attention, and Charles Johnson's liberal roots doubtless make it rather uncomfortable for him to criticize a 'historic' presidency. He may have decided to return to where he is most comfortable. My guess is that he will bail on Israel and the anti-Jihadist cause in less than 12 months, and sooner if Israel takes any decisive action against Iran, or upsets Obama.

Charles Johnson seems incapable of actual reason or logic. It actually makes sense to him that men who are cutting peoples head off should be held in the same regard as those who have spoken words he finds offensive. He is one of a legion of self-loathing leftists who seem incapable of understanding that a real threat exists outside the confines of their warm little echo chamber. They are discussing only a fantasy of what they believe to be happening as opposed to the cold reality. Do they really imagine the Jihadists give a damn about the stunning strength of their well-reasoned arguments? Charles Johnson pines for the moral purity of the ideal position and viciously attack anyone who dares violate his holy scripture. He's worried that someone may have been called a mean name while the Taliban steadily advance on the failing state of Pakistan and its stockpile of nuclear weapons. He seems to think that the far right parties of Europe, who haven't killed anyone, are to be compared to groups like Hamas, and Hezbollah, who have murdered thousands? They are like bunny rabbit's... without the rabbit’s sense of self-preservation. It staggers the mind how anyone can be so bereft of common sense. Well I have some news for them. The black-hearted bastards of the world don't care what LGF, or Charles Johnson thinks! They really don't! Charles Johnson and his crew at LGF are just medieval monks scribbling in their dim halls muttering darkly about sin and heresy (political correctness). Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and others, the VB among them are actually doing something while they wax poetic about their purity and shriek abuse at others ‘for going out into the world’.
