For several days the mainstream media have been shrieking, wailing, crying, and beating its breast over the possible tragic fate of Jamal Khashoggi, who worked for the often sharia-compliant Washington Post.
Frontpage Magazine (h/t RF) Every utterance made by the Turkish Islamiofascist regime is treated as fact by the media. Trump is being barraged with “how could you” lectures by the same media that is happy to ignore the tens of thousands of political prisoners in Turkish jails.
He had become the darling of western commentators on the Middle East. With almost two million Twitter followers, he was the most famous political pundit in the Arab world and a regular guest on the major TV news networks in Britain and the United States. Would the Saudis dare to cause him harm? It turns out that the answer to that question was ‘You betcha.’
Why is the media so in love with Jamal Khashoggi? Guessing isn’t hard. It’s the easiest thing in the world. And there’s only one kind of fellow that the Turkish government would be up in arms over. There’s only one kind of Muslim the media loves.
Only one kind.
The fate of Khashoggi has at least provoked global outrage, but it’s for all the wrong reasons. We are told he was a liberal, Saudi progressive voice fighting for freedom and democracy, and a martyr who paid the ultimate price for telling the truth to power.
Sorry, no, he wasn’t.
In truth, Khashoggi never had much time for western-style pluralistic democracy. In the 1970s he joined the Muslim Brotherhood, which exists to rid the Islamic world of western influence. He was a political Islamofascist until the end, recently praising the Muslim Brotherhood in the Washington Post.
A one-time Saudi regime insider, Khashoggi was no fan of reformer Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
In many respects, bin Salman’s regime has been revolutionary: he has let women drive, sided with Israel against Iran and curtailed the religious police. When Boris Johnson was foreign secretary, he said that bin Salman was the best thing to happen to the region in at least a decade, that the style of government of this 33-year-old prince was utterly different.
But the cruelty and the bloodletting have not stopped:
Princes and businessmen caught up in a corruption crackdown are reported to have been tortured; Shia demonstrators have been mowed down in the streets and had their villages reduced to rubble; social media activists have been sentenced to thousands of lashes; families of overseas-based activists have been arbitrarily arrested. In an attempt to justify this, bin Salman said this week he was ‘trying to get rid of extremism and terrorism without civil war, without stopping the country from growing, with continuous progress in all elements,’ adding: ‘So if there is a small price in that area, it’s better than paying a big debt to do that move.’
Saudi crown prince Bin Salman agrees with U.S. on Russia, Assad, Iran and ISIS and according to some reports, he’s also met with top Israeli officials
Mohammed bin Salman has been good news for Israel and the United States, as his firm anti-Iranian positions make him an important partner – and not only in the struggle against Iran. Bin Salman agrees with America on the need to thwart Russian influence in the region; to topple President Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria; and to act firmly against ISIS and other radical organizations, from the Muslim Brotherhood to Hezbollah. During the last two years, several Arab websites have reported that bin Salman also met with top Israelis. http://bit.ly/2s0arFF
Khashoggi championed the s0-called ‘moderate’ Islamic rebel opposition in Syria, whose countless crimes against humanity are a matter of record.
Khashoggi frequently sugarcoated his Islamofascist beliefs with constant references to freedom and democracy. But he never hid that he was in favour of a Muslim Brotherhood arc throughout the Middle East. His recurring plea to bin Salman in his columns was to embrace not western-style democracy, but the rise of political Islam which the Arab Spring had inadvertently given rise to. For Khashoggi, secularism was the enemy.
The Washington Post was happy to provide a forum for a member of a terror network that is responsible for murdering countless Christians and Jews.
The media is hysterically attacking a Saudi reformer (the Crown Prince) in support of an Islamofascist reporter. Everything it’s telling you is a lie.
It was Yasin Aktay — a former MP for Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development party (AKP) — whom Khashoggi told his fiancée to call if he did not emerge from the consulate. The AKP is, in effect, the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
His most trusted friend, then, was an adviser to President Erdogan, who is fast becoming known as the most vicious persecutor of journalists on earth. Khashoggi never meaningfully criticised Erdogan. So we ought not to see this as the assassination of a liberal reformer.
Khashoggi and his fellow travellers believe in imposing Islamic rule by engaging in the democratic process. The Wahhabis loathe democracy as a western invention. Instead, they choose to live life as it supposedly existed during the time of the Muslim prophet. In the final analysis, though, they are different means to achieving the same goal: Islamist theocracy.
This matters because, although bin Salman has rejected Wahhabism — to the delight of the West — he continues to view the Muslim Brotherhood as the main threat most likely to derail his vision for a new Saudi Arabia.
And it gets worse.
Most of the Islamic clerics in Saudi Arabia who have been imprisoned over the past two years — Khashoggi’s friends — have historic ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Khashoggi had therefore emerged as a de facto leader of the Saudi branch. Due to his profile and influence, he was the biggest political threat to bin Salman’s rule outside of the royal family.
And worse.
And that may have been the fatal snub, not least because Khashoggi had earlier this year established a new political party in the US called Democracy for the Arab World Now, which would support Islamist gains in democratic elections throughout the region. Bin Salman’s nightmare of a Khashoggi-led Islamofascist political opposition was about to become a reality.
This is what the media and those politicians stupid enough to be shrieking about Khashoggi support.
I don’t care. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, this Jamal person ran afoul of his government and he was executed. He was friends with that idiot in Turkey and Osama bin laden, the same crowd that wants to drag everyone back to the dark ages. I am sick of the liberal propaganda where they trot out some medieval, Islamic wacko and treat those opinions, like they deserve any respect.
MBS would stab the USA in the back if it was in his best interest. That said: The president of Turkey is an awful man. He’s just the worst. The world would be a very bad place if that man were the Caliph. Birds of a feather flock together. So this Jamal fellow was friends with Osama bin Ladin and that idiot in Turkey. enough said. That bunch wants to go back to the middle ages. Time has passed and the world has moved on, they are unwilling to admit it.
The ” crown prince” is just letting these saudi dissidents know,if you” Fuc__ with the bull,you’ll get the horn “….moslem murdering moslem is nothing new,they’ve been doing it for 1400 years and torturing one another as prescribed in the core..on….
The link “Saudi Arabia’s New Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Is Good News for Israel and U.S.” leads to Game of Thrones – The Recent Saudi Coup And The Ascent of Mohammed bin Salman, The Prince Who Will Be King, which seems to be anti Saud’s, Israel, & USA. I’m confused.

Grace, that isn’t the link I thought I was posting there. Will remove.
I didn’t think so.
There is a messy political underwater intense current, more of concern than worrying about this Khashoggi creep.
The Islamic Invasion of the West is being interwoven with Islamic Sect Conflicts in the Middle East and around the world in every Islamic Nation.
We need to shutdown Anti-Freedom Apartheid Islam in the West and move away from all business and political links to Islamic Nations.
And we need to give Israel 100% expansion support against Palestine and any other threats in the region.
The West and Islam are not compatible, not now, not ever.
And since the United Nations has given the OIC a large block of power in its organisation, we the West should all leave the UN and European countries should also leave the EU, which is in bed with Islam.
We need to politically redefine the world and divide it between ‘Freedom Nations’ & Islamic Nations and leave Communist China as a Political Island floating on its own in its anti-freedom problematic environment.
China needs to convert to Capitalism and give the Chinese freedom before it can become compatible with the West.
Than you. We had better start very soon.
We need to raise the voting age; & then get Communism & Is lam out of our schools. Stop the indotcrination.
He was just another Islamic goat-f—er who hated the West and its values. He used the naïve Western Press to his advantage and, of course the naïve, stupid liberals sucked it up hook, line and sinker. Good riddance to this phony.
Live by the lie …. die by the lie ? (Each of his body parts …. could be buried …. in it’s own shroud of lies ?)
Sounds like all the Islmofascists & liberals are finally “speaking out against” the atrocities of Is lam. Too bad it’s being done for a Muzlim Brotherhood-loving Turkey-supported Mohammedan. When “moderate Muzzies” say they “speak out,” this is what they mean. Nothing but lies.
when I read M.B. ….that did it ..only good muzzi is a dead one
So this Khashoggi is what we would call a leading agent of `agit-prop` for the muslim brotherhood .Agit-prop = agitation and propaganda.This is another bolshevic construction taken up by the jihadists.
“The dark side of Saudi prince” is our boldly stated headline. Thank you for pointing out the truth. The MSM are FAKE NEWS.
The same newspaper that printed the above headline also printed an image with toilet paper stuck on Trump’s foot as he ascends the steps to an airplane, and some asinine whole-page article about how our eating habits affect “global warming” (um, global warming, really? There is still snow in the South Island, the nights even in Auckland are still cold enough to put the heater on, despite being nearly halfway into spring).
The MSM are sinking into the Mariana Trench.
thank you Bonnmie for helping blow the lid off this former reformer. I heard Kashoggi was a pal of bin Laden, hated the United States, and hated Israel, of course. Maybe the U.S should investigate, but there will be no great tears coming from me about this guy.
Trump doesn’t seem to be all that interested in getting to the bottom of this. Good.
This man was not a USA citizen He was a schill for the Washington Post and radical Muslim groups. Why is CNN trying to drag our government into an investigation of this Saudi citizens alleged death in his own country? Are we to force our taxpayers to pay for investigateing every foreign dissident that is killed or missing?
Who cares? He ran afoul of the government of his country. Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and they killed him. There’s the investigation. Now we in the USA don’t have to read the drivel that idiot wrote.
Nobody cares except the left wing media who are using this against Trump. Personally, I am happy that this Muslim Brotherhood scumbag is no longer on American soil.
muslims killing muslims, outstanding!! Keep it up!!
LOLOLOL my thoughts too when I first heard this – was waiting for the truth on this fugly, dodgy looking pig and of course BNI always deliver.
Very interesting. I suppose this guy is related to Adnan Khashoggi. Any Muslum that disappears sounds like good news to me.
Az, was wondering the same thing myself.
OK, I get it now. I was absolutely flabbergasted as to why a dictatorial regime like Turkey would be upset over this. Now I understand. Thanks for this.
Turkey says that they have obtained both graphic audio and video evidence that proves Khashoggi was tortured and killed within the confines of the embassy.
I say good riddance to bad rubbish … He’s gone to meet his dead paedophile cult leader, end off.
I certainly won’t be losing any sleep over his death.
To hell with Turkey and Saudi Arabia
May they kill each other.
Thanks. With this and the others being published over at Frontpage – I have all I need to know about this latest far-left whine party. Let’s hope more like him gets to go for all those virgins in the Islamic whore-house in – hell.
