Radical Islamist Terrorism Archives

The Daily Mail calls her a “Latina firebrand” and claims that she is “desperate for attention.” The Independent is more restrained, contenting itself with calling her a “far-right MAGA congressional candidate” who, it says cattily, “has a history of posting violent stunts and using hateful rhetoric against Muslims, the LGBT+ community, Black people, and immigrants, in an attempt to gain notoriety to further a flailing attempt at a political career that has so far gone nowhere.” Clearly, the leftist propagandists of the establishment media want you to hate Valentina Gomez. And that in itself is a clear indication that she is on to something.

The Daily Mail hates her because she set fire to the Qur’an in what the paper, which reports superbly on jihad violence yet vilifies and demonizes everyone who proposes even the mildest resistance to that violence, calls a “vile stunt to ‘end Islam.’” And so the question immediately arises: if Valentina Gomez were a leftist activist who set fire to the Bible in order to protest against the leftist media’s pet chimera of “Christian nationalism,” would the Daily Mail call it a “vile stunt”?

The answer is clear. If Valentina Gomez had posted a video of herself burning the Bible, the same people who are calling her “far-right,” the media’s all-purpose and thoroughly content-free label for anyone it dislikes, and claiming that she is “desperate for attention” would be hailing her “courage” in “standing up to the hidebound right-wing Christian establishment” or some such.

WATCH: America is a Christian Nation

As it is, however, the Daily Mail stated that Gomez was “courting controversy” by torching the Qur’an with a flamethrower while declaring: “America is a Christian nation, so those terrorist Muslims can *** to any of the 57 Muslim nations. There is only one true God, and that is the God of Israel.” The Mail, attempting to add even more to its indictment of Gomez, then informs its hapless readers that “earlier this year, Gomez barged on stage during a Muslim event at the Texas Capitol, and used the occasion to decry Islam as the ‘religion of rape, incest, and pedophilia, where they bow down to a stupid rock, and a false prophet.’”

Conspicuously lacking from the Daily Mail’s indignant and contemptuous hit piece on Gomez, however, is any refutation of her statements about Islam. We are told nothing to convince that Islam is not a religion of rape, incident, and pedophilia. The Daily Mail takes it as self-evident that Islam is none of those things, and that all right-thinking people know this. The distaste it obviously has for Valentina Gomez is a giant signal to its readers that they should regard her in the same way.

The Independent, meanwhile, wants you to know that decent folk are fighting back: “There has been a furious reaction to an anti-Islamic campaign ad posted by a far-right MAGA congressional candidate in which she sets fire to the Quran with a flamethrower.” She says she wants to “‘end Islam’ in the Lone Star State,” but this is ridiculous, you see, because “approximately one percent of Texas’s population is Muslim.”

And if that isn’t enough to convince you that Gomez is bad, the Independent adds the bit about “violent stunts” and “hateful rhetoric,” and even includes a sample of the latter: “‘Your daughters will be raped and your sons beheaded, unless we stop Islam once and for all,’ Gomez said before setting fire to a copy of the holy book.”

The Independent adds that “condemnation came quickly in response to the clip.” A person identified only as “podcaster Brian Allen” is quoted as saying: “This isn’t politics. It’s incitement. When the mosques start burning, remember: this was the match and the Texas GOP handed her the lighter.” Gomez did not, however, actually call for mosques to be burned, or for any kind of violence or illegal activity. Allen is employing the old leftist tactic of equating criticism with violence, which somehow never applies to leftists even when they call for violence outright against those whom they hate and fear.

In the avalanche of negative courage that Gomez received, however, for daring to burn the only religious text that leftists respect, not a single leftist “journalist” thought it newsworthy to ask her why she was burning the Qur’an, or to say even the smallest thing about why anyone might have any problem with the book.

No, instead, all we get is a monochromatic “Valentina Gomez is bad for burning the holy book,” with no curiosity whatsoever about what might be in it that could be problematic. Nor do any of the establishment media stories about Gomez say anything about jihad terrorism at all, or about the death threats from jihad groups for anyone who burns the Qur’an, which makes burning it a stand against violent intimidation and bullying. The less the public knows about all that, the easier it will be for establishment media propagandists to portray her as an evil fascist.

Gomez responded to the Daily Mail: “I am desperate to save girls from getting raped by muslims. You are desperate for clicks. I save lives while you cover up for these islamic terrorists. We are not the same.” Indeed.

In a sane political environment, this would have passed as a decidedly unremarkable, albeit not quite one-hundred-percent accurate, observation. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, recently warned that “radical Islamist terrorism” is the biggest national security threat the nation faces today.

Well, of course. The top terror groups worldwide are all Islamic. On September 11, 2001, Islamic jihadis carried out the largest-ever terror attack on American soil. Numerous other Islamic jihad attacks have taken place in the U.S., at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, New Orleans, and numerous other places. The Biden regime caught numerous people on the terror watch list crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, and released at least 99 of them into the country. Gabbard was therefore making an entirely reasonable assessment.

Gabbard said: “We look at the past four years of open borders, where we had tens of millions of people coming across our borders, many of whom we don’t know who they are or what their intentions are, very specifically the threat of radical Islamist terrorism here within our country is higher than it’s ever been before, not only because of Biden’s open borders, but because of his and his administration’s fear of being called Islamophobes.”

For Gabbard to speak of “radical Islamist terrorism” was not quite accurate, as there is nothing “radical” about Islamic jihad violence. It is mainstream and deeply rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. And “Islamist” is a phony word that corresponds to nothing in Islamic theology. It is just an attempt to distance Islam from the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings.

Nevertheless, her statement was a tremendous improvement over the Biden regime. FBI director Christopher Wray testified before members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2021, saying: “The top threat we face from [domestic violent extremists] continues to be those we identify as Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVEs), specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.”

Old Joe Biden then said it during his speech to a Joint Session of Congress in April 2021: “we won’t ignore what our own intelligence agencies have determined – the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism.”

The following month, a revealing piece in Yahoo News by “journalist” Alexander Nazaryan stated that Biden’s desperately corrupt and partisan Attorney General Merrick Garland “told Congress on Wednesday that violence incited by white supremacists poses ‘the most dangerous threat to our democracy.’ That assertion reflects near-universal consensus among national security experts, including those who worked for the Trump administration.”

In June 2021, Biden doubled down: “As I said in my address to the joint session of Congress: According to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS, not al Qaeda — white supremacists. That’s not me; that’s the intelligence community under both Trump and under my administration.”

The agenda of Old Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and their henchmen was obvious and insidious: they intended to find those white supremacist terrorists, and prosecute and destroy them. They had no anxiety about the prospect of not finding those white supremacists in sufficient numbers, because by “white supremacists” they actually meant law-abiding patriots who dissented from the left’s political agenda. The Garland “Justice” Department, which should have been rebranded as the Partisan Vengeance Department, wasn’t content with persecuting Donald Trump. It also sicced the FBI on angry parents protesting at school board meetings, worked with Twitter (X) and other social media giants to silence and deplatform people with opposing views, and even sent spies into Catholic churches to keep tabs on pro-lifers.

That’s what Biden, Garland, Wray and the rest meant by a “white supremacist terror threat.” Now Gabbard has swept all that aside and begun the road back to realism and honesty regarding where the real terror threat is coming from. The problem she faces is that the views of Biden, Garland and Wray have been spread for years within the intelligence community, not just during the Biden regime, but during the Obama years as well. If she doesn’t manage to root it out in its entirety, it will continue to do damage to law-abiding Americans. All patriots should be hoping that at this critical juncture, Tulsi Gabbard succeeds in the monumental task before her.
