On the same day that the San Francisco City Attorney called using accurate quotes from muslim extremists “Islamaphobic” (CBS), CNN anchor Erin Burnett asked former First Lady Laura Bush if we have to “accept” anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism “when we want to make change” in the Middle East?” Please check the tags, this is NOT satire, this is the real deal. As always I will let you watch the tape so that you can see this unbelievable interchange for yourself.
Just in case you can’t believe that Ms. Burnett actually asked that question, here is a rough summary. “An Egyptian woman, her name’s Samir Ibrahim, and she’s done a lot of things, courageous things. She’s also been criticized for sending tweets that are anti-Semitic, anti-American,” Burnett said during a segment on the George W. Bush Institute’s Women’s Initiative Fellowship Program. “Does the U.S. need to accept that when we want to make change? You have to support people that do those things — financially in term of awards, in terms of all these things — because it pays off in the end? Is that a trade-off we have to make?” she asked.
Mrs. Bush responded with a laughing, “No, . . … But I do think it’s really important that we do support women in any way we can in the U.S. And I know American women want to do . . . . It’s easy for us to recruit the mentors, the American women mentors for our class of Egyptian fellows because American women are interested in women around the world and they want to see women succeed,” she answered.
Why in the world would Ms. Burnett ask such a dumb question? Easy, the press is once again trying to cover a Presidential Gaffe when an Anti-American, Anti-Semite supporter of Hitler was almost given a Women Of Courage Award from the United States State Department until Fox and the Blazer pointed out the hypocrisy. Ibrahim’s texts which applauded the 9/11 attacks among other things are stunning.
Ibrahim’s past tweets included celebratory comments relating to the death of five Israeli tourists in a 2012 suicide bombing in Bulgaria.
“An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea,” she tweeted directly following the attack. “Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.”
Ibrahim’s vitriol is not reserved strictly for Jews, however. The Egyptian activist even holds the very country that was slated to honor her with an award in equal contempt. Following the riots that set siege to the United States embassy in Cairo on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, Ibrahim said that every year should mark America’s destruction.
“Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning.”
Doubling down on her racist diatribes, in August 2012, Ibrahim referred to Saudi Arabia’s ruling Al Saud family as “dirtier than the Jews” and not long after, admiringly quoted Hitler.
“I have discovered with the passage of days, that no act contrary to morality, no crime against society, takes place, except with the Jews having a hand in it. Hitler,” Ibrahim tweeted. (Blaze)
As mentioned at the top, Ms. Burnett’s stunning question came on the same day when San Francisco MUNI bus ads were called “Islamaphobic” and “hate crimes” despite the fact that the ads accurately quoted the statements of Islamic followers. It is true that the statements in the ads were controversial. alarming and disturbing – “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah” – but they are direct quotes properly attributed.
I oppose any actions or words or religious hatred and in this case I find the speaker’s words to be offensive, not the fact that they were reprinted. San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon condemned the billboards as “Islamaphobic” and then said “the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to look the other way and do nothing.” Ironically Gascon acted as if those were his own words when he was actually quoting Albert Einstein. (Einstein)
I am truly confused by the current media bias in which attacks on Christianity and Judaism are accepted while trying to merely report the facts about Islamist extremism brands the speaker as religiously intolerant. This provides a smooth segue into one of my favorite quotes ““If we continue to teach about tolerance and intolerance instead of good and evil, we will end up with tolerance of evil.” (Dennis Prager)
Oh Geoff, there’s no liberal bias in the media. Let’s play my favorite game – “What if a conservative had said it?” What if a conservative had said we have to settle for a little hatred toward Muslims to settle things in the Middle East? Don’t worry, that’s a rhetorical question.
Q. When did posing a question become tantamount to making a statement?
A. When a conservative says it is.
Yes, the game of semantics. Will conservatives ever change their thinking to the positive instead of always dwelling on negatives? The country would be so much different if they’d only fake it once in a while. No wonder fewer want to associate with a bunch of Negative Nellies.
Snoop,
So does that mean you’re in agreement with Ms. Burnett’s premise that we should accept some anti-Semitic and anti-American sentiments if the one harboring those feelings happens to do some positive things for women?
Woodie,
It wasn’t “a premise”. It was a question posed.
Thanks for another in your long line of non-answers.
Perfectly appropriate reply to the invalid “premise” of your “question”. Post something that warrants a different reply, not a trolling “question”. Don’t haz a sad because you don’t get the reply you want and can’t control the conversation, as conservatives feel somehow is their birthright.
Allow me to reiterate: Ms. Burnett posed a question, not stated a “premise”.
[Editor's note - This is the kind of entry that when I edit or delete Snoopy goes into convulsions - to me, this response does nothing to further any intlligent debate, is purely a personal attack, is completely detached from any thought in the original post and does nothing but discourage others fron commenting for fear of being subject to endless personal and frivolous attacks. Snoopy will rejoin that he is responding to Mr. Woodard's comment as if he is compelled to have the last word in every argument. I had hoped to keep Thinking Right clear of this kind of petty fighting and I would love to hear your thoughts on this.]
Immortal? Are you a disciple? Drink up.
Pfft. Still expelling putrid hot air, huh Woodie?
Still can’t reconcile that “premise” vs “question” I see. “Color me surprised.”
Since you’ve solicited “thoughts on this”, I think both GW’s need to stop their petty jabs and false characterizations of the left leaning posters here. The “convulsions” over a moniker and not the message are clear.
JUDAISM is the religion of Jews, not “the” Jews because not all Jews are religious. Like Christianity and Islam, Judaism has at its core a set of moral values and ethical principles.
ZIONISM is a sectarian, colonial-like nationalism which created a state for some Jews in the Arab heartland mainly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing, and by doing so demonstrated contempt for, and made a mockery of, Judaism’s moral values and ethical principles. In reality mainstream Judaism and Zionism are total opposites.
Judaism believes in One God who revealed the Torah. It affirms Divine Providence and, accordingly, views Jewish exile as a punishment for sin. Redemption may be achieved solely through prayer and penance. Judaism calls upon all Jews to obey the Torah in its entirety including the commandment to be patriotic citizens.
Zionism rejects the Creator, His Revelation and reward and punishment. Among its fruits are the persecution of the Palestinian people and the spiritual and physical endangering of the Jewish people. It encourages treasonous, dual loyalty among unsuspecting Jews throughout the world. At its root Zionism sees reality as barren and desacralized. It is the antithesis of Torah Judaism.
The vast majority of Jews everywhere, and especially many eminent American Jews, were totally opposed to Zionism’s Palestine project. Why? They believed it to be morally wrong. They feared it would lead to unending conflict with the Arabs and the wider Muslim world. But most of all they feared that if Zionism was allowed by the big powers to have its way, it would one day provoke violent anti-Semitism on a grand scale.
Hello there, You’ve done a fantastic job. I will definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m sure they will be benefited from this site.
Thank you for every other informative site. Where else may I am getting that type of info written in such an ideal manner?
I have a challenge that I am just now operating on,
and I’ve been at the glance out for such info.

He said, “The police service must stop denying… It is problematic and no longer acceptable in a multiracial society.
” We know racial profiling exists “ because it is a lived experience that has been shared among thousands.
