Liberal U.S. Congressman Charlie Rangel, Democrat, sticks up for…. Hezbollah terrorists. Wait, let me check that. Yup that’s correct. Hezbollah terrorists.
They have feelings too, I guess.
Rangel: Don’t Call it ‘Islamic Terrorism’
Top House Democrat Charlie Rangel said Tuesday that it was an act of discrimination to label groups like Hezbollah “Islamic terrorists.”
Asked about the refusal by some European governments to declare Hezbollah an Islamic terror group, Rangel told WWRL’s Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter, “To call it Islamic terror is discriminating, it’s bigoted, it is not the right thing to say.”
Rangel even questioned whether, in fact, a worldwide Islamic terrorist movement even existed, saying, “We just take for granted that there is an Islamic terror movement because we do have some fanatic people who come from Islamic countries.”
The Harlem Democrat complained: “When we had the Ku Klux Klan we didn’t call them Baptist terrorists. When Hitler was killing Jews, we didn’t call it Christian terrorists.”Rangel said Americans needed to realize “that a lot of countries may be poor, but they still have pride. And that is one thing that we completely ignore.”
LGF’s Charles Johnson finds otherwise. As does the whole entire world.
Earlier today, top House Democrat Charles Rangel said it was bigotry to use the term “Islamic terrorism” to refer to groups like Hizballah, and questioned whether a worldwide Islamic terrorist movement even existed.
Hizballah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah would beg to differ, in speeches broadcast on Al Manar TV February 18 and 19: Death to America.
Hassan Nasrallah:
Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. its destiny is manifested in our motto: “Death to Israel.”Crowd:
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to IsraelHassan Nasrallah:
The American administration is behind Israel. I must clarify that when I say “America’ I do not mean the American people, most of whom are distant and ignorant of what is going on in the world, and of what its government and army are doing in the world. Nevertheless, we consider the current administration an enemy of our [Islamic] nation and of the peoples of our nation, because it has always taken a position of aggression, of occupation, and of supporting Israel with weapons, airplanes, tanks, money, as well as political support, and unlimited protection.We consider it to be an enemy because it wants to humiliate our governments, our regimes, and our peoples. Because it is the greatest plunderer our treasures, our oil, and our resources, while millions in our nation suffer unemployment, poverty, hunger, unmarriagability, ignorance, darkness, and so on. America… This American administration is an enemy. Our motto, which we are not afraid to repeat year after year, is: “Death to America.”
Crowd:
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to AmericaHassan Nasrallah:
Some people may wonder and say: “Is there no end to this hostility?” Yes, there is an an end. If the Zionists leave our lands and holy places and give them back to their owners, this conflict will come to an end. If America stops interfering in our countries’ and nation’s affairs, stops its aggression, stops its occupation, stops its plundering of our resources and treasures, we will have no problem with it. We don’t want to go to Washington to fight America. We are defending our countries and our existence.Any rift, civil strife, disintegration, or dispersion in any Arab or Islamic country, or in the entire nation, serves our Zionist enemy and its plan of hegemony, and serves the Great Satan — the American administration, whose main concern is to control our oil, our treasures, our resources, and our markets. [They want us] to become millions of slaves who eat and drink but are living dead, devoid of honor, respect, and existence.

How can death become joyous? How can death become happiness? When Al-Hussein asked his nephew Al-Qassem, when he had not yet reached puberty: “How do you like the taste of death, son?” He answered that it was sweeter than honey. How can the foul taste of death become sweeter than honey? Only through conviction, ideology, and faith, through belief, and devotion. We do not want to live merely in order to eat, drink, and enjoy life’s pleasures, and leave our homeland to Israel so it will slaughter it upon the alter of its aspirations, desires, hate, and historic vendettas. Therefore, we are not interested in our own personal security. On the contrary, each of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah. The most honorable death is to be killed, as the Leader Imam Al-Khamenei said when “Abbas [Musawi] was martyred. He said: “Congratulations to “Abbas, congratulations to “Abbas.” The most honorable death is death by killing, and the most honorable killing and the most glorious martyrdom is when a man is killed for the sake of Allah, by the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets [i.e. the Jews].
Be sure to watch the video (available on this page) to see thousands of Hizballah supporters chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”
And then ask yourself, “Why is Charles Rangel trying to tell us these people don’t exist?”
