Ann Barnhardt Fights Totalitarian Islam and Its Useful Idiots

Here is a truly outstanding article by Andrew G. Bostom introducing Ann Barnhardt-Graham and her videos slamming Lindsy Grahm for his sell out of America to Islam.

She has bigger balls than a squad of SEALS and she is exactly right in her assessment that Islam is evil and intends to dominate all of mankind.

Take the time to read the entire article and follow the links to her videos.

It is time to stand up and speak out against the evil incursion of Islam into America and the West.  There is no time to waste.

Ann Barnhardt Fights Totalitarian Islam and Its Useful Idiots

By Andrew G. Bostom

Once again a mere flicker -- in this case burning a copy of the Koran in Florida -- has ignited the inferno of deeply seated infidel-hatred that pervades the contemporary Muslim world, precipitating violence, death, and general mayhem amongst our Afghan " allies."

This eruption was hardly pastor Terry Jones' fault. The insane orgy of murderous Muslim violence in Afghanistan was a direct result of Islamic doctrine.  Jones' simple non-violent act effectively administered a diagnostic societal stress test revealing -- yet again -- the pathological mindset engendered by an Islam that remains ossified in its Medieval fortress, defiantly unreformed and unrepentant.

Kansas-born Ann Barnhardt was raised on a farm with a working cow-calf operation. Her formal training includes a B.S. in Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Economics, obtained at Kansas State University. Now a Colorado-based commodity broker, she reacted with singular clarity and courage to the recent carnage by the all too familiar Afghan Muslim mobs, and of equal importance, their witless, morally cretinous American apologists. Her verbal dismembering of Lindsey Graham (in Part 1) is epochal.

Diana West introduced me to Ann's highly informed, if appropriately trenchant videos (in two parts), which can be viewed in full at these links: (Part 1); (Part 2); Diana's commentary and a subsequent equally insightful blog by Roger Kimball provide valuable context to Ann  Barnhardt's videos seen through the prism of two of our most perspicacious cultural critics.

My focus is on Barnhardt's astute, irrefragable observation (starting at 1:54) that Islam is a "...totalitarian political system masquerading as a religion," and her accurate "exegesis" of Koranic verses, entirely consistent with their interpretation by a classical mainstream Koranic commentary that remains the seminal work introducing Muslims to "Koranic understanding."

First, Ann Barnhardt's view of Islam as an innately totalitarian political system comports with a continuum of modern assessments by great Western scholars dating back to the renowned Swiss historian Jacob Burkhardt in the mid-19th century. Bernard Lewis, the eminence grise of contemporary Western scholars of Islam, confirmed Burckhardt's assessment a century later.

Perhaps the initial reference to Islam as a totalitarian system, specifically (Burckhardt used the most comparable 19th century term "despotism"), was made in 1937 by Charles R. Watson, the Cairo-born first head of the American University at Cairo. Watson noted,

    In the case of the Mohammedan world, religion has seemingly affected every detail of life with its prescriptions and requirements...[N]o other religion, as it conquered new territory, has so completely and quickly wiped out even the culture of the conquered people and imposed upon their total life new ways and customs, often a new language, as has the Mohammedan religion.

    Islam can truly be described as totalitarian. By a million roots, penetrating every phase of life, all of them with religious significance, it is able to maintain its hold upon the life of the Moslem peoples.
