The enthusiastic celebration of Arab Spring by the American left has at last been repudiated by the gruesome realities of Islamic Jihad. But don’t expect to hear much about this sudden intrusion of brutal fact into the left’s pathetic dabblings in American foreign policy. Politically embarrassing events such as the failure to protect American diplomats being murdered and dragged through the streets before cheering throngs rarely make for lasting headlines, especially not when a Democrat president has ignored advance warning of the threat which he more than anyone else was responsible for bringing about.
“Once the US successfully overthrew [Muammar] Gaddafi and began focusing on stabilizing Libya, [Ambassador Christopher] Stevens ceased to be a useful idiot and became a useless nuisance.” This assessment by Frontpage Magazine’s Daniel Greenfield goes directly to the heart of the left’s fantastic belief that becoming best buddies with Islamic terrorists renders American dhimmis immune from a murderous payoff when their services are no longer required.
“[Christopher Stevens] was an avid student of Islam and the Middle East, and consistently strove to build the proverbial bridge between our two cultures in the face of sometimes overwhelming antagonism and bitter misunderstanding,” said a friend of the Ambassador after his murder by the Muslim terrorists Steven’s had done so much to bring to power in Libya.
But Greenfield prefers to describe Stevens as “… a Middle Eastern diplomat who typified the new breed going from the University of Berkeley and the Peace Corps to desks in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria.” Years of self-delusion about Islam being a religion which befriends those who actively appease its most radical practitioners caused Stevens to rush back to Libya in April of 2011 when the efforts of the “formerly” Muslim President Obama to oust Muammar Gaddafi had begun to gather steam.
However, it seems that Stevens succeeded only in offering his diplomatic services to many of the same jihadists who later dragged his corpse through Benghazi streets, all no doubt to the cheers of those members of al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to whom Obama himself had so thoroughly apologized for the unforgiveable religious affronts of the Islamophobic American public.
Many remember the extraordinarily successful appeasement by Jimmy Carter of yet another beacon of the tender mercies of Islamic refinement as the brilliant Georgia peanut farmer betrayed the Shah of Iran in favor of the merciful Ayatollah Khomeini in the Fall of 1979. Of course the American media refused to blame dhimmi Jimmy for the 444 days Americans spent as kidnap victims of the Iranian government, just as today’s mock journalists continue to claim the contents of an obscure 15 minute video to be responsible for Muslim uprisings across the globe. The fact that assaults on the American Embassy in Egypt had been planned before the video was even known to exist apparently just gets in the way of a good story.
Liberal, useful idiots like Stevens will continue to exist in sufficient numbers to betray both American interests and lives throughout the increasingly barbaric nations of the Middle East. But as they continue to advance the farcical notion that “Islamophobic” Americans are somehow responsible for the acts of bestial cruelty practiced for 14 centuries by the sub-human worshippers of a cult of prescribed, “religious” murder, these fools represent an ever increasing danger to the security of the United States and its citizens.
Making foolish gambles with their own lives is one thing. Demanding Americans eventually share their fate by ignoring the evidence of our own eyes is something else. It’s time American’s stop following the march of the radical left to Sharia-mandated extermination.

I know nothing of Ambassador Stevens, but what I do know is that the entire Middle East is ablaze with anti-American – make that anti-freedom – hatred, and I’m waiting for the REAL (?) Muslims, the representatives of the Religion of Peace – to condemn this bigotry-turned-murder. Shouldn’t I (we) have seen this immediately…just as we saw the meticulously choreographed “news” reports of how all of this was sparked by a single movie trailer? Somehow, for the number one production on Broadway now for two years, “The Book of Mormon,” to trash an entire highly-respected segment of the U.S. population and its founder/prophet, is not only okay, but wonderful. And the Left loves to label Christians as “hypocrites.” Apparently we aren’t the only ones. And yes, I’m calling Latter-Day Saints Christians, as what we are is defined more by what we do than by what we say…and that goes for the Religion of Peace as well. If Mormons were committing these kinds of atrocities, the Church itself would be the first to instantly condemn them. On the other hand, the “fair and balanced” media would have no doubt beat them to the punch. So, let’s be honest here, the media is far and away superior to Christians of whatever label, when it comes to hypocrisy…but we wouldn’t want to judge them for it!

I’m convinced there are no fair-minded moderate Muslims. If there are, they must be more terrified of Islam than the liberals in this country, probably with good reason. It’s thought provoking to have a religion so despicable that it’s own members are afraid to speak out against the radicals, and are afraid to leave the religion. I’m fairly sure that Muslims only want to kill us or force us to submit to their god. It’s sad that we have quislings in our government more than willing to help them destroy us.
obozo and his henchmen/women thinks this video about muslims is offensive to muslims. But, they thought it was OK for Bill Maher to make a movie mocking the Christian religion. Bill Maher wasn’t questioned by secret service or govt officials. obozo and his incompetent lying fellow govt officials say that they believe in respecting all religions. But, that’s another one of their lies. They have NO respect for the Christian religion. They even label us “terrorists/racists” — false accusations. They are the epitome of LIARS.
I think it’s time we nuke all 57 countrys and send the whole government their before we do it.
Any religion when taken to extremes is unproductive long term for the people that follows any particular religion. Radical Muslim’s where radicalized pretty much at birth. All that they know is to hate anyone that is not like them as it pertains to their own twisted and distorted religious beliefs. Mormon’s also have armies of young men that spend two years recruiting new members to the Mormon Churches all over the world. Without these dedicated recruiter’s, the Mormon Church would not be nearly as wealthy and powerful as it is.
In the majority of cases, Muslim’s in the Middle East live a miserable existence and are taught that when they leave this life they will go to a paradise that will provide them with everything that they did not have on earth. Their entrance to this utopia would be dramatically enhanced, according to what they were taught at birth, that if they die in support of Allah, which is why they seem to be so eager to kill themselves and take other’s with them, once again in the name of Allah.
Obama was raised in Indonesia during his formative years as a Muslim, the same radical beliefs that were ingrained on most other Muslim’s where obviously ingrained in him as well, and his actions in support of the Muslin Brotherhood are now clearly out in the open.
The fire throughout the Middle East was started with a match that Obama lit when he refused to support the previous president of Egypt, coupled with how he helped the Libyan’s remove Colonel Gaddafi from power and similar to Egypt, Libya has also been taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama’s support of their efforts coupled with his inaction against the Libyan’s that killed Ambassador Stevenson, simply adds more fuel to their fire. Obama’s Administration is trying to deflect the blame of what happened to their failed policies by insulting that it was a video that insulted the Profit Mohammad, that caused the riots. The problem with that theory is that video has been out for six or seven weeks, prior to September 11, 2012. It’s time that the Obama Administration start accepting some blame for their many failed policies, especially all of those in the Middle East.
Obama wil never admit his blame in a lot of what is happening. Obama may be muslim but this nation is not. We should quit sending any support to the middle east countries and see how well they get along. Stop buying oil from them and quit supporting them. They are not deserving of any more support from us. If Obama wants to support them, let him use his own money.
Good Post Doug Book. I also find it amusing how the OBummer administration is still trying to put this all on a stupid little film that is at most a comedy. I mean did you see the trailer?? OH But its Ok for the fact that in order to make OBummer look like the Protector of America there will be a film made by his Hollywood Friends about the killing of Osama. That’s OK to do BUT you better not make some little cheap film if you are not part of the Elite!!! Oh No No No! ( although the animals in the Middle East didn’t see it) you will be hunted down and made a Criminal by the WH and his pathetic Media. Good Lord people better wake the hell up!
Amen Doug Book, well written and spot on. You cannot make a silk purse from a sow’s (pig’s) ear.
In the Old West it was always a risky business selling guns and whiskey to the injuns. Never know when they might use them on you. Stevens and the rest of the State Department Marxists are dedicated to destroying our country. They lack any dedication to advancing our national interests. They simply want to surrender Western interests to the Islamists. Good riddance to those who surrendered Libya and the rest of the ME to the Islamists.
There it is–could not have phrased it better–actually I probably have used a paraphrase: “subhuman worshipers of a cult of prescribed religious murder. That pretty well sums up mus. Then someone in the crowd stands up and brays, ” how about moderate muslims.” Right. How ’bout them.
If there ever was an example of someone biting the hand that feeds them, it was the tragic and possibly preventable torture, rape and murder at the hands of a few Muslim terrorists of this good man who tirelessly worked to help Libya and Libyans achieve some semblance of a democratic and stable government. This State Department hero and his associates were sacrificed on the altar of Obama’s and Hillary’s feckless foreign policy of appeasement and apology and “reset relations” and “soft power.” Soft power is seen in the Arab world not as kindness or understanding but as weakness, pure and simple, and weakness invites attack.
Why this “Few Muslim Terrorist” garbage. The entire religion is corrupt from the prophet outwards. There are thousands running wild around the world. We have one in the WH but he claims he’s christian, while apologizing to the brotherhood that they had to torture and kill our Ambassador. Yes Islam is a religion of peace, I believe that, any one got a bridge to sell me?
And by placing the blame on anti-Islamic speech, they are setting the stage for taking away our freedoms under the first amendment.
Debra…
debra you hit the nail on the head-i believe they will try to use this as an excuse to cut in on our freedom of speech-and then watch our other rights fall like dominoes-we have to stand up to that marxist muslim and his media cronies and say NO-IT ENDS HERE
When will Documentaries on the true history of Islam and the “Battle of Toures”(France) be made Unedited and uncensored by IslamoFaschists and Islamic Apologists afraid of being labeled Islamophobiacs?
SOMETIMES JUSTICE IS SWIFT AND CRUEL,
There is the flower child Ambassador to Egypt, and this also goes to the Commuinist State Department, who have always helped the enemy against us, it’s leader Hellary Clinton a hater of Jews and the Military disarmed our children the Marines who guard our Embassy’s took away their real ammo and gave them rubber bulletts or no bulletts at all. How do you think that murder cult Muslims have the guts to attack the Embassy’s and kill or destroy them. BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT AND THE STATE DEPARTMNET WORK WITH AND FOR THE ENEMY AGAINST OUR CHILDREN WHO RISK THEIR LIVES FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT GOES OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP THE ENEMY!!! It is almost time for we the people who on Obama’s hit list should get the ropes and guns ready. But not the Muslems, Blacks or Mexicans in the USA.
conspiracy to commit treason in my book
Ambassador Stevens was a avid student of Islamic history. Right. I think most of what he knew of Islamic history was wishful fantasy. I have read a few books and took a college course on Islam. My impressions of Islam are much different than the fantasy world of the left and the late Ambassador Stevens. The inferences that I have gleaned is that the religion was violent from its birth; Mohammed didn’t send out peaceful apostles to covert, but armies to rape, pillage, enslave and made second class citizens of the indigenous population who didn’t convert. Yes, the Islamic culture had its brillant period, but when it ran out of other people’s wealth and land, those land became what we see today, the butt-cracks of the world. Mohammad probably couldn’t sustain his armies if he couldn’t make them rich. There wasn’t an orginal religious thought from Mohammad. Islam is a mish-mash of gnostic Christianity, Judaism and whatever nonsense Mohammad dreamed up. Mohammad was a schizophrenic, psychopathic thug who desparately wanted to be something more in his early days. Mohammad probably would have remained a mad nobody if he didn’t make his followers rich and powerful. Unfortunately for the world, he had a talent for war. Islam is only at peace when it is losing and has no one to bully around. But the resentment and violence is alway there.
See any similarities between Mohammad and Obama, I do, many of them.
Regardless of how you feel, this man was an American. Regardless of how this man interacted with the Muslim community in Benghazi Lybia. You just don’t kick a man when he is down, and this man is helpless and not getting up. Let him rest in peace. Remember what the religion of peace did to this man. The POTUS disgraced this man by appologizing to the Muslim world. What has happened to us as a country, have we no longer any common decency? Think about this man’s family. Would you like to hear something like this during your time of mourning about on of your loved ones? I think our country is beginning to lose it’s moral compass. I think this article is shameful, we used to be so much better than this. Walk in love.
What can be said of U. S. officials, who when faced with the truth do not see it?
Mob demonstration and killing are not peace full activities committed by our real friends.
I lived in the Middle East visiting several countries. I was exposed to their “religion of peace”. It’s not one! Islam is a religion of arrogance, hate, greed, and abuse. If you want to buy a slave or kill your wife when you tire of her, then the Middle East is the place for you.
There will NEVER be peace in the Middle East as long as they are muslim and islamists. The only way they could ever hope to find at least some semblance of peace would be if they were to conver to Christianity. But they are too arrogant to believe anything other than their teachings. And no I’m not saying Christians are always peaceful and don’t commit crimes. But google terrorist attacks and see how many are Christian and how many are muslim!
