Newt Gingrich has been warning about the threat of global jihad since the ’90′s
Posted: January 24, 2012 Filed under: Just the Facts 27 Comments »
For those of you who have accused Newt of only hopping on the anti-jihad bandwagon for political purposes since he began campaigning for the presidency last year, think again. Several years ago, he addressed the National Press Club about the threats posed by the global jihad, and America’s state of preparedness.
See links below as well. I am sure I will find more from farther back with a quick search.

Hey BNI, you should get rid of “proudly powered by WordPress” at the bottom of this page…!
I love the picture of the muzz-in-chief with the caption “Crap!!!…. I have to debate NEWT!!”
me too great pout.
The “WAR on TERROR” is a politically correct euphemism for THE WAR on AMERICA! NEWT gets it. At least 50% of the USA doesnt want to hear the TRUTH!
Very well stated. Newt is the only one who speaks as though he actually understands the threat of islamization.
Others may mention it, but Newt’s got the situation well assessed.
Refreshing.
Newt is bang on about the threats we face, and is alarmed as the rest of us who understand true Islam.
Obama is going to need one heck of a magic teleprompter when he debates Newt…I for one, cannot wait!
Go Newt!!! Thank God he is still making an issue of the WAR ON TERROR. Obama has lulled people, by changing the name, that the WAR ON TERROR isn’t a problem. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have to be vigilant against the insidious, creeping cancer that is going by the name of “islam”. Wake up America – they are trying to beat down our door.
Islam is a threat to World peace, Violence is the blood running in her. In Quran 11:244, chapters IV:74, VII:65, IX:123 , 11:216,IV73-80, IX :23, X:29 The blood sucking allah encouraged his slaves to kill and maim non moslems. In chapters 111:156-159, IX:125, the demon of islam encouraged them to pursue jihad even at the cost of their lives. The President we need in the US is one that will take a clear stand against Islam!
The world already faced a global ‘jihad’ at the direction of Nazi Germany.
We toasted their asses and handed it back to them on a plate.
When Islam ‘occupies’ Europe like the Nazi’s did the same thing will happen again..the free world and its people will bury these maggots in their own filth.
Nazi’s or islamic lunatics..it makes no difference. The outcome will be the same.
And to think there are STILL some “educated” liberals who STILL believe that the sun rises AND sets on BHO’s arse! Hellloooo, you ignorant f—ers!! Pull your heads out of your arses and JUST MAYBE then you can see the filthy lying murderous asslifters for what they really are!! Newt nailed it on this long before 9/11, so those who say he is anti-Islamic for “purely political” reasons, STFU!!!
B.N.I. – Could you keep us posted as to when they Lock Horns please.
Chris, when who locks horns?
I think Newt and BHO…
BRAVO INDEED!
Good for Gingrich, Who Dares to Disavow Sharia
By Robert Spencer
Jihad Watch
Just before his stunning victory in the South Carolina primary, Newt Gingrich drew the ire of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the deceptive Islamic supremacist group that bamboozles many with its pose as a neutral civil rights organization. Gingrich, fumed a CAIR spokesman, was “one of the nation’s worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry.” How did Gingrich earn this dubious honor? By telling the truth about Islamic law, and making clear his determination to resist it.
It all started last Tuesday, when Gingrich took a question about whether he would ever endorse a Muslim for President. “It would depend,” Gingrich answered, “entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Sharia,” the Islamic legal code that mandates stonings, amputations, and restrictions on the freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, and institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims.
“A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat,” Gingrich continued, but “a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Sharia, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat.” He even came out in favor of a federal law banning the use of Sharia in American courtrooms.
Gingrich also displayed an admirable grasp of the realities of Sharia, noting that the “rising Islamization of Turkey has been accompanied by a 1,400% increase in women being killed,” and pointing out other negative manifestations of Sharia:
“The application of Sharia in places like Iran … churches being burned in Nigeria and Egypt, and … the decline of Christians in Iraq from a million, 200 thousand, when the Americans arrived, to about 500,000 today.”
Gingrich concluded:
“I think the time has come for us to have an honest conversation about Islamic radicalism. I don’t think we should be intimidated by our political elites, and I don’t think we should be intimidated by universities who have been accepting money from the Saudis and who, therefore, now have people who are apologists for the very people who want to kill us.”
This isn’t the first time Gingrich has challenged politically correct pieties so directly, and spoken so forthrightly about the realities of Islamic law. In August 2010, Gingrich made a point that our political elites of both the Left and the Right have still largely failed to grasp:
“This is not a war on terrorism. Terrorism is an activity. This is a struggle with radical Islamists in both their militant and their stealth form. … One of the things I am going to suggest today is a federal law, which says no court anywhere in the United States under any circumstance is allowed to consider Sharia as a replacement for American law.”
In response to his statements last week, CAIR, which has several of its former officials imprisoned for various terror-related activities, thundered that Gingrich’s “outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat.”
There is just one problem with this: Catholic and Jewish immigrants to the U.S. never had a political and social system that they considered superior to the American model. Catholic and Jewish organizations were never working to undermine the American system in the manner of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated, in its own words, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house.”
Gingrich would be foolish to ignore that threat or bow to CAIR’s demands to ascribe concern about it to “bigotry.” CAIR characterized Sharia as teaching “marital fidelity, generous charity and a thirst for knowledge,” but left out the unpleasant bits. Anyone who wants to see what Sharia is like can look to the states where it is implemented, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran. Western apologists for Sharia claim that it is so multiform that it has no particular character that anyone can point to. In reality, wherever and whenever Sharia has been implemented, historically and today, it has looked pretty much the same, and has contained elements absolutely inimical to Western notions of freedom and human rights.
Newt Gingrich is one of the few major politicians to acknowledge that the problem America faces today from Islamic jihadists is not simply one of terrorism, but of a larger attempt to insinuate elements of Sharia into American society and to assert the principle that where Sharia and American law conflict, it is American law that must give way. Gingrich is determined not to allow this principle to advance. Bravo.
Newt is our clean up man you hear that cair your days of messing up this country are going to be over ! its get closer to crying time again cept this time it will be offshore bet on it.
you go Newt
I saw this on youtube earlier when I saw Romney’s 2007 speech in it’s entirety. Newt has many rich supporters and friends who have Israel’s welfare as a top priority. The Adelsons are the most outspoken so you hear about them the a lot. It still comes down to who will defeat BO.
I will love to see them debate!
B.N.I. – Sorry,yes Newt.& Obama,the Day they come together on American T.V.and slug it out in front of the Nation,it’s gonna be gripping stuff to watch,and see how Obama tries to wiggle out of the attempted Mass spread of islam,they only show very short clips over here,so they won’t be covering all the good debaiting points,and i’ve no doubt you will be watching with”Baited Breath”.
Chris, I heard that Obama has ordrered NO Audience reaction will be allowed in his debates with the GOP.
What the ????
BNI- Do you mean to say, that the tyrant in chief has banned derisive laughter?
No audience reaction? Why… that’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. He should forfeit the debate, just for that!
Pink, that’s what I heard yesterday.
Wow. So – can he do that? Wouldn’t that make him a king and not just a president?
Shelly, more like a dictator. Nothing about him is royal.
Funny. Was thinking dictator when I wrote king. lol
As I am pretty new to this site, where do I look to find answers to questions, such as a question that doesn’t necessarily fit in a thread, or questions about islam?
Shelly, you can ask anywhere in comments. We have a lot of Islam scholars here. There is a Category list in the sidebar where you can find archived stories and videos on subjects within each Category. You may have some problems doing this now until we get the name change to barenakedislam.com. There is a glitch that is screwing up some of the function here but should be corrected in a day or two.
So it’s gonna be a debate,but only on MY TERMS ONLY???
