Cory Heidelberger contines to be a Muslim Brotherhood bully and attacks a South Dakotan

I have already covered Cory Heidelberger's use of propagandist Ayaz Virji. On his post, Cory attacks and denigrates a South Dakotan who wrote a letter to the discredited anti-Christian Aberdeen American News with this comment:

Here’s another long-winded commenter, Porter. Local far-right crank Pati Koeniguer follows the Noem/Krebs strategy of shouting about falsehoods without identifying a single false statement made by Dr. Ayaz Virji during his November visit to our fair city. Koeniguer’s letter to the editor appears in my morning paper on, appropriately, the darkest day of the year:

Why did Northern State university allow speaker Dr. Ayaz Virji to speak on the campus? (“Minn. doctor talks about Islam and disinformation,” American News, Nov. 30.)

Dr. Virji immediately stated his reason to start speaking was because in his county, Lac qui Parle, Minn., 60 percent of the vote went to President Trump. While he said this isn’t political, he called our president a bully, childish and a idiot, he ran down Fox News, Sarah Sanders and Sean Hannity.

I don’t remember how many times he used the words “brown skin” as a means of discrimination toward Muslims. He failed to mention that over 300 brown skin Muslim people were killed in Egypt last month by brown-skin Muslims.

Dr. Virji said 94 percent of the terrorist attacks in the U.S. are done by non-Muslims, only 6 percent were done by Muslims. He also said there are only 200,000 Muslims on the terrorist list. How many terrorist killed 3,000 Americans of all colors on 9/11?

Are NSU, the mayor, and the Aberdeen Area Diversity Coalition pro-CAIR (THE Council on American–Islamic Relations)? Why are they aligning themselves with people connected to a group named as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates? No one cares about Islam, that is CAIR ‘s narrative. Sharia is the issue, it is a government woven into a religion. You want that type of government move to another country. Dr. Virji said he’d move to Dubai if put on a registry.

We get it: NSU, diversity coalition and CAIR are “never-Trumpers” who despise the U.S. as it is. CAIR is on a strategic disinformation tour across the states. People need to find out the truth and it is not a doctor from Minnesota throwing out nonfacts and expecting us to believe them [Pati Koeniguer, letter to the editor, Aberdeen American News, 2017.12.21].

No real refutation, no facts, just more anti-Muslim bile. Ugh—and I pay good money for this newspaper.

But Koeniguer gives a good example of Julia Ebner’s thesis: radical Muslims and radical Christians need each other to keep polarizing the community and dismissing intelligent, moderate, empathetic discourse like that offered by Dr. Virki [SIC].

Not only did I expose the misinformation put out by Virji, I also presented the misinformation and slanderous bully tactics of Bristine mainstream media propagandist Julia Ebner.

The "94 percent of the terrorist attacks in the U.S. are done by non-Muslims" comes from Loonwatch, another bully for the Muslim Brotherhood who denigrants those they disagree with. Here is the rebuttal Cory is looking for:

Since January, 2010 the Islamic propaganda outlet, Loonwatch.com, has prominently posted an article with the title "All Terrorists are Muslim… except the 94% that aren’t."  Although not saying exactly who it is that believes "all terrorists are Muslim", the gist of the piece is that an FBI report from seven years ago concluded that the vast majority of attacks have nothing to do with Islam. 

As Loonwatch puts it:

• Only 6% of terror attacks are by Muslims
  
  
•  7% of terrorism is by Jewish extremists
  
  
• 66% of terror attacks are by leftists and Latinos
  
  

This would appear to defy common sense.  Reports of bombings, shootings, stabbings and even beheadings by terrorists cross the newswire each day.  Some are indeed the work of communist groups or nationalists, but the vast majority are clearly the product of Islamic extremists who kill in the name of religion. 

Loonwatch is playing a couple of tricks here - the biggest being that they are drawing on domestic data only.  In other words, when they say that 94% of terrorists aren't Muslim, they actually mean in the United States, where terror attacks are relatively rare and Muslims make up only 1% of the population. 

So, if we ignore the overwhelming bulk of attacks across the globe, Muslims are "only" six times more likely to commit acts of terror than the general population.  The numbers get even worse for Loonwatch on closer examination.

As it turns out, much of the FBI list includes "violence" against property rather than people. In fact, the formula used by the agency to define terrorism is somewhat fuzzy.  While it includes tree-spiking and bank robbery, for example, it somehow omits the Arizona assassination of a Sunni cleric by Iranian terrorists in 1980, the 1990 murder of Rabbi Kahane by an Islamic radical at a New York hotel, and even the killing of two CIA agents by a Muslim extremist at Langley in 1993.

When Americans hear the word 'terrorism', however, what comes to mind isn't vandalism, but rather those acts of genuine violence that are intended to cause loss of life.  So, how do we focus on these incidents and filter out the rest?

Well, perhaps the best way of knowing whether terrorists are serious about killing people is if they actually do.  Since Muslims and non-Muslim terrorists have equal opportunity to kill, Loonwatch shouldn’t object to an analysis of only those attacks which cause deaths.  What does the data have to say when we exclude non-lethal attacks?

Even by the FBI’s curious standard, the sort of truly violent terrorism that most concerns Americans is extremely rare in the United States.  Only 29 attacks on their list of incidents between 1980 and 2005 resulted in actual death.  Of these 29 attacks, Islamic extremists were responsible for 24%, accounting for 2,981 kills (civilians only), while the non-Muslim attack body count is 196.

Thus, what the FBI report is really saying is that a demographic which makes up only 1% of the American population accounts for one-fourth of all deadly terror attacks in the U.S. and 94% of related casualties!  (The 94% statistic is somewhat ironic because it is the same figure than Loonwatch is touting to dispel concerns).  The Jewish population in the U.S. is more than twice that of Muslims, but there were only three so-called Jewish attacks during the entire 25 years (all by the "Jewish Defense League") with a total of three killed. 

Since 2005, there have been at least six additional deadly attacks that would probably qualify as terrorism in the U.S. even to the FBI.  One was the 2012 shooting by a skinhead that resulted in six deaths at a Sikh temple and the other five were by Muslims, which left 19 dead.  This means that since 1980, Muslims in the U.S. have been 35 times more likely to commit terror than all other demographics combined.

So there you go Cory. A little long for a letter to the editor, but why don't you a head and link to this post and respond without calling me an Islamophobe, as I have already told Cory that I am focused on the Muslim Brotherhood, not Muslim in general. Better yet, leave a comment on this post so we can have a public discussion about what Taneeza Islam is doing in South Dakota. Lets drop the personal attacks and deal with facts, something that you expects from others, but not from yourself. That is a trait of a true supremacist.

Seriously, Steve? Your obsession with Cory is symptomatic of a deep psychological pathology that only strengthens his position as a political thinker and leader. Perhaps that's your intent: to sacrifice your credibility to bolster his.

[Steve Sibson]

Larry, I do appreciate your comments as they help me make some of my points. For example how some leftists are cyber bullies.

[larry kurtz]

Pick a lane, Sibby. Your points are bullshit.

Fighting fire with fire has been around since humans emerged from the trees to explore the savannas but the earliest evidence of cyber bullying in South Dakota was from earth haters like Jason Heppler when he attacked Tom Daschle.

[larry kurtz]

Brookings blog bloviator Pat Powers was flinging cyber feces since before you accepted a mythical Nazarene as your savior, Steve.

Thanks for showing Cory for what he is......if he doesn’t like what is said he starts calling people names. There are two sides to every issue, but he only sees his side....to the detriment of all else. Thanks for sticking up for this “crank”.
