On CNN, journalist/novelist Rula Jebreal perpetuates the prevailing fiction that Islam is a race, and that to oppose jihad terror is racist: “With all due respect, white people like yourself who doesn’t understand the language, doesn’t understand the culture and doesn’t even know the religion —” That there are “white people” who are fervent believers in Islam, such has Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper, the late al-Qaeda jihadi Adam Gadahn, the Marin County Taliban John Walker Lindh, North Carolina jihad plotters Justin Sullivan and Donald Ray Morgan, would-be Wichita jihad bomber Terry Lee Loewen, Boston Marathon jihad bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, UK “Sharia patrol” leader Jordan Horner, Brandeis Professor Joseph Lumbard, and so very many others, escapes her, and demonstrates the hollowness of her analysis — and CNN’s.

The unfortunate Mr. Hooper

“CNN Guest: ‘White People’ Can’t Understand Islamic Culture [VIDEO],” by Steve Guest, Daily Caller, March 24, 2016:

…As a guest on “CNN Tonight” with Don Lemon on Wednesday, [Rula] Jebreal argued for funding Islamic integration into society when she went after Buck Sexton, a former CIA analyst.

“I don’t know, Buck, if you speak Arabic,” Jebreal said to Sexton. “And clearly, you talk about terrorists, but you need to understand the culture. You need to understand the language. You need to understand what is appealing — what is the message that ISIS actually is selling in these prison cells. And what they are selling online.”

Sexton responded, “Respectfully, I served in Iraq and Afghanistan targeting people that were doing beheadings, that were building suicide vests. I mean, so I was doing that at a very specific level.”

After a period of crosstalk, Jebreal said, “With all due respect, white people like yourself who doesn’t understand the language, doesn’t understand the culture and doesn’t even know the religion —”

Sexton cut in, “I don’t know what that has to do with trying to prevent people from blowing up buses and trying to annihilate —”…

Indeed.
