Jihad Watch: Muslim "Reformer' Shireen Qudosi Sides With Terrorists Backs Jihad Against Israel

Repeats Terrorist Propaganda And Blames Israel For 'Violations Of Human Dignity'
May 12, 2021

Muslim 'reformer' Shireen Qudosi repeats 'Palestinian' jihad propaganda and backs jihad against Israel

MAY 11, 2021 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

Qudosi's claims are false. The evidence shows that the land belongs to Israelis, not to "Palestinians," and thus the "Palestinians" were not pushed out of their homes; illegal squatters are being removed. Nor did the Israelis attack worshipers at the Temple Mount during Ramadan. The Muslims began rioting and Israeli forces attempted to put an end to the riots.

So why is a self-styled Muslim "reformer" backing jihadis and repeating their propaganda? Shireen Qudosi is once again illustrating how foolish and wrongheaded counterjihad organizations are when they try to play the left's identity politics game and get "moderate Muslims" to be the face of their organizations. Some groups have been almost entirely compromised and rendered ineffective by sinister, duplicitous propagandists such as Qudosi.

Shireen Qudosi, according to her Clarion Project bio, "serves as Clarion Project's National Correspondent and is involved with leading its Preventing Violent Extremism program." Even that is not the extent to which she has people fooled: "Her voice has been featured in The Federalist, OANN,The Hill, Fox News, BBC, Women in the World, The Federalist Society, On Being, and more." The bio doesn't mention the obvious fact that only reason anyone has ever heard of Shireen Qudosi is because she is a Muslim who tells people what they want to hear: that Islam properly understood is a religion of peace that has nothing to do with the violence (including female genital mutilation, which is one of her particular concerns, even as she steadfastly ignores or outright denies its justifications in Islamic teaching).

In an unpleasant exchange we had in 2019, Qudosi was exposed as two-faced and dishonest, but that hasn't deterred those of the dhimmi mentality who continue to be so avid to find a "moderate Muslim" who will say that "terrorism" (not necessarily "jihad terrorism," of course) is wrong that they'll put up with anything. But now, once again demonstrating her fundamental dishonesty, Qudosi is defending violent jihadis, just as she defended anti-Trump rioters and looters last year (even while, of course, denying that she was defending them. When she insisted they were not evil, you could read in the comments to her tweet how she denied defending the rioters when confronted with a photo of an innocent man whom rioters had killed. But she didn't retract or take down her statements supporting and defending the riots.

So now once again we see Shireen Qudosi wanting to have things both ways. That is one of the key problems with so many who are professional moderate Muslims; few are willing to confront the Islamic texts that justify and call for violence and oppression, and many actually deny that such texts exist. They want to be Muslim, that is, followers of a holy book that calls for warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers, and of a prophet who waged war against and subjugated unbelievers, while denying that warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers is part of their faith. It would be like a Christian saying, "Yes, I'm a Christian, but I burn incense at the altar of Zeus whenever I can." Ultimately the contradiction will be obvious to everyone, and unsustainable.

I'm pretty sure every Palestinian person taking to the streets isn't a jihadi. This kind of blanket statement against a population makes it easy to dehumanize and disregard the genuine plight of a people. It's nothing more than a story stoking the flame of hate to keep warm.

I have Jewish friends & colleagues shocked that I'm not siding w/ Israel over #AlAqsaUnderAttack As someone who consistently has been an ally to the Jewish people, and am *horrified* at what I'm seeing now, maybe instead of questioning me, you should be questioning yourselves.

Does not justify brutally storming Al Aqsa during the last days of Ramzan while people are praying. It's absolutely out of order.
