Pam Geller on Trump Saudi Speech: Trump Gets “A” on Speech – “F” Claiming Islamic Terrorists Aren’t Invoking Koran

American Freedom Defense Initiative’s Pamela Geller commented on some of the things President Donald Trump said during his speech to leaders of 50 Muslim countries in Saudi Arabia on Sunday on her website, but she then was interviewed on SiriusSM to give a full review of his speech.  Here’s the good, the bad and the ugly.

“It was a good speech,” Geller said. “It’s just that President Obama had set the bar so low that just the mention of Islamic terror is cause for jubilation. That’s how bad it is.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“It was a mixed bag,” she added. “I hope that he follows through on many of these initiatives. These new centers for combating extremist ideology – again, the fear of not naming the motive, of a motiveless ideology, is deeply troubling.”

She then went on to speak about King Salman’s comments.

“Of course, King Salman’s remarks were as telling and revealing as President Trump’s,” Geller said. “The idea that he does not speak to the Islamic teachings and text that call for jihad, he does not speak to jihadic doctrine. He spends the entire time telling us, preaching to us, that Islam is a religion of peace and that it has a history of coexistence. I don’t know what period he’s talking about because for 1400 years non-believers, Christians, and Jews, were forced to live in dhimmitude under denial of basic human rights.”

“Of course, he cites that famous Koranic quote that CAIR cites, that President Obama cites, about if you save one life you save the world entire – when, in fact, that is a Talmudic verse that was cribbed by the Islamic religion, and it really is an implied threat to the Jewish people,” she added. “We don’t have to get into the nitty-gritty of it, but the whole speech of King Salman’s was a deception.”

In Islam, they call this taqiyya.

“I’m very glad that President Trump talked about fighting ISIS because according to leaked emails from Hillary Clinton, the Saudis were supplying ISIS, and Qatar was supplying ISIS,” said Geller. “They can’t continue to play both sides, which the Saudis have done brilliantly for decade.”

“So when President Trump says, ‘Drive them out of the mosques,’ that’s a tricky one because how are countries living under Muslim rule going to drive the most devout out of the mosques?” she asked. “That’s where I think President Trump got it wrong, when he said that terrorists were falsely invoking the name of God. No, they’re not. They’re citing Koran chapter and verse. That was misleading.”

“It is pure Islam,” Geller insisted. “It is authentic Islam.”

“I mean, when he says that the terrorists do not worship God; they worship death – that’s just not true,” she added. “They’re dying in the cause of Allah. They’re not screaming, ‘Death akbar.’ They’re screaming ‘Allahu akbar.’ They pray five times a day. If you look at ISIS videos, they pray after they slaughter in the cause of Islam.”

“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Caliph of the Islamic State, has a Ph.D. and a master’s in Islamic theology from the world’s leading Islamic university,” she commented. “Do Western leaders presume that they know more than he does about Islam?”

Ms. Geller went on to say that Trump’s “battle between good and evil” statement was an “extraordinary statement, wonderful.”

She then noted a slight difference in the White House released version of the speech and what Trump actually said at one point.

“Even though the White House released the text calling it ‘Islamist extremism,’ he said ‘Islamic extremism,’” she pointed out. “That’s an important point because that word ‘Islamist’ is a ridiculous word. It’s nothing except the person using it doesn’t want to offend Islam by speaking unwelcome truths about the political nature of that religion.”

“Overall, it was an A,” she said

Marlow noted that Trump surprisingly removed the qualifier of ‘radical’ Islamic terrorism and referred simply to ‘Islamic terrorism’ directly.

“It was brilliant,” Geller said of Trump’s removal of the term “radical” to define Islamic terrorism and then chastised media outlets that failed to focus on the fact that Saudi Arabia is a country that openly violates human rights and imposes Shariah law.

“You had President Obama, who was aiding and abetting the mass slaughterers, who never uttered the word, who gave billions to one of the worst human rights violators on the planet, Iran – and that was the CNN headline – like they give a fig about human rights in Muslim countries! It’s extraordinary,” she said. “The coverage is almost Kafkaesque.”

He just delivered to the Saudis the largest arms deal – and, of course, we know that is really because of Iran,” Geller said.  “Iran is fighting the Saudis in Yemen.  President Obama would harp on this, the biggest victims of this extremism are Muslims themselves. That’s a false narrative because the Sunni vs. Shia – you saw that with ISIS when they would line up their victims and ask them specific questions about Islam. The Sunni don’t think the Shia are Muslims, and the Shia don’t think the Sunni are Muslims. They’re fighting for who is the true Muslim. When the West says, ‘Oh, they’re killing Muslims’ – again, that’s in your mind, but not in the mind of the Sunni and not in the mind of the Shia.”

“I am concerned about that arms deal,” she added. “The common enemy of Iran and the Saudis, of course, is Israel. Right now, the Saudis need Israel because Iran has been newly emboldened and newly enriched and newly armed, thanks to President Obama. That’s sort of scary. Where is the law of unintended consequences going to be?”
