Spencer scheduled for the O'Reilly Factor tonight

mr. spencer

I am sure you speak eloquently and to the point with edina. You have the knowledge about islam for the cult that it really is.

Keep up the good work.

You have my best wishes, sir. Unfortunately I won't be able to watch the exchange, but I know you have the wind at your back.

Thanks for fighting the good fight.

What really needs to be done is to get you onto Democracy Now whenever a muslim spokesman shows up
like today's discussion with Hussan Ayloush of CAIR, who discussed the UCLA incident.

Fast forward in that interview:

to this exchange

AMY GOODMAN: Hussam Ayloush, I wanted to turn to a second issue that sparked contro--controversy earlier this month. On a November 14th edition of the CNN Headlines News Program, Host Glenn Beck interviewed Keith Ellison, the Minneapolis Congressman who will become the first Muslim ever elected to Congress. He was elected of course November 7th, and this is an excerpt of the interview that Glenn Beck did with him.

GLENN BECK: I, I will tell you. May I? May we have five minutes here where we're just politically incorrect and I play the cards face up on the table?

KEITH ELLISON: Go there.

GLENN BECK: Ok. No offense, and I know Muslims, I like Muslims, I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I think it's been hijacked, quite frankly. With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying let's cut and run and I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies and I don't -- I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel and I think a lot of Americans are feeling that way.

KEITH ELLISON: Well, let me tell you the people of the 5th Congressional District know that I have a deep love and affection for my country. There's no one who is more patriotic than I am. And so, I don't need to prove, to prove my patriotic stripes--

GLENN BECK: I understand that, and I’m not--.

AMY GOODMAN: That was the newly-elected Congress Member from Minneapolis, Keith Ellison, first Muslim to be elected to Congress in the United States, being interviewed by CNN’s Glenn Beck. Hussam Ayloush, your response.

HUSSAN AYLOUSH: Well, I would say that's why he won the election for Congress, because he's a diplomat. Probably, because he could hold his temper. If it was for me, I would have said, I am extremely offended. What Mr. Beck did, it is nothing short of total bigotry. To question the patriotism of an American Citizen who happens to be Muslim, because he's questioning the issues of Iraq, the failed immoral policies of this administration is nothing short of pure racism and bigotry. And if this was -- if this was tried on a Jewish person, or a Black person, or any other person, he would not have to continue his show after that.

Unfortunately, we live at a time where it is the only acceptable bigotry today, open bigotry, is the one against Muslims. No one has the right to question the patriotism of American Muslims. Someone who is born and raised in this country such as a patriot, a true patriot such as Keith Ellison, and it's a shameful thing. Because if it's ignorance on the part of Beck, then that is shameful, but if it’s something that's intentional it is even more painful to it. And it seems this is something that's going on for a while. This is not the first time Mr. Beck makes anti-Muslim comments. It seems that Mr. Beck is CNN's response to losing the bigoted segment of its viewers to FOX and they're trying to win it back and the way to do it is bringing people like him to come and make -- to use scare tactics, Islam-aphobic scare tactics.

AMY GOODMAN: Will CARE be issuing a letter of protest to CNN?

HUSSAN AYLOUSH: Actually we are looking into it. This was in our meeting. This was sent to our members when it happened. But also we are looking at a long, long list of anti-Muslim comments made almost on a daily basis on his show. Mr. Beck seems to enjoy focusing on the fringe element in the--within the Muslim extremist segment, forgetting about the existence of extremists in all religions and all groups. Focusing on some -- the media shock or the image -- the shocking image of extremists in a way to create the scare and fear of Muslims in America.

AMY GOODMAN: Well, Hussam Ayloush, I want to thank you for being with us, Executive Director of the Southern Californian Council of American Islamic Relations.

I'm fed up with obfuscating muslims and dense, ignorant dhimmi's of left and right.

Notice how Glen stated that he has been to mosques
and "GLENN BECK: Ok. No offense, and I know Muslims, I like Muslims, I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I think it's been hijacked, quite frankly."

Of course that caveat doesn't spare him from persecution by CAIR, so why bother?

Democracy Now is a communist inspired news agency. They'd never have Robert on their programs.

HOOORAY!!!

However, I have one recommendation for Mr. Spencer and that is DO NOT WAIT FOR THE RIGHT QUESTION TO BE ASKED!! Volunteer some information that would FORCE THE RIGHT QUESTION BEING ASKED!!

Too bad my home boy Bill won't be there but I guess once Mr. Spencer speaks that should be enough.

Many thanks in advance

SHUNKLEASH(PBUH)

I hope someone ups this segment to You Tube.

Good for Laura. I think this is the first time Robert has been a guest on Bill's TV show.

Woohoo! Laura Ingraham is an excellent speaker as well. I haven't looked forward to watching the O'Reilly Factor in a while. Tonight is different :)

Oh man, someone please capture this and put it on YouTube!

kudos Robert

its about time!

Foxnews puts their interviews on their own web pages. You will probably find it on their OPINION link under Oreilly factor in a day or so

The O'Reilly Factor comes on at 8:00PM Eastern and again at 11:00PM.

I'll be watching. Monday Night Football be damned. Besides, da Bears played yesterday.

One knowledgeable individual who knows what he's talking about and isn't trying to B.S. anyone.

One knowledgeable individual who knows he's right and will try to B.S. anyway.

One confused moderator with the opportunity to learn, once and for all, that Islam has not been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists.

I hope I can remember how to operate the VCR.

Congratulations on the big show tonight. Thank you for what you do. Good luck.

Robert,

I wish you nothing but sucess.

What?! Laura interviewing Spencer? This'll be the first time in months to watch The Factor.

Remember: No Unicorns. With scripture so radical, how can there be Unicorns? There can only be Inactive & Active, this is why always the same tired refrain, "Oh he was so quiet, so nice, who woulda thunk it? Then he started going to mosque and now he commits murder in the name of a tiny minority of extremist hijackers. Now he moves from being a Moslem to an Islamist?"

Islamic scripture is not Unicorn feed. It is a human brain reagent that causes physio-emoto explosions and creates Raging Butchers on demand.

I know Muslims, I like Muslims, I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil.

Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us (Moslems)
--- Mohammed bragging up Moslem Murder in Tabari 9:69

And kill Jews & Christians wherever you find and catch them. Drive them out from where they have turned you out; for Al-Fitnah (polytheism, disbelief, oppression) is worse than slaughter.
--- God commanding murder in Koran 2:191

Mohammed had their men killed, their woman and children taken captive.
--- Bukhari Vol. 5 Book 59 No. 512

We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.
--- Mohammed bragging up Moslem Murder in Ishaq 489

The battle cry of the Companions of Mohammed that night was: “Kill! Kill! Kill!”
--- Mohammed throwing a Moslem Night Party in Tabari 8:141

* 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 *

So, which is it? Is Glenn Beck a big mouthed ignoramous, or an evil fellow in his own right?

Great! I heard you on Prager earlier today.

Thanks so very much for your next book about Christianity. We are dealing with this comparison so much today. Secularists are constantly comparing Christianity with Islam, to much utter horror. Like this guy:

http://www.watchingamerica.com/kurdishmedia000003.shtml

This article, "George Bush, Osama bin Laden and the Three Religions gone awry" really slams all religion as provoking one another.

I've been having a dialogue with author, or rather a hate barrage, really. The hatred just drips off his emails, it's quite frightening!

Anyway, your new book will be a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

You were brilliant tonight Mr. Spencer.

Moose

Score tonight:

Robert Spencer 1, Muslim "Moderate" 0

9:29 Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the tribute and have been humbled.

(another source: ) The unbelievers are impure and their abode is hell. (another source: ) Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.

LOL!!! What was that at the end she was chanting about Muslim's being pushed into the ocean????? Was that ad libbed???? What tha....????

Way to go, Robert. You kept it short and to the point. Laura did great, too -- kept it real.

The ocean....still laughing audibly.

Fantastic.

good job Mr Spencer loved the reference to 9:29 hope more people point to that more often however i still think most americans need to learn about abrogation, taqiya, and kitman.

Another "moderate" Muslim who denies Sura 9.29 exists. Sura 9.29 is not exactly a needle in a haystack of wonderful niceties - to say the least. You know you're dealing with a Fifth Column when...

Great job, Robert. Your ability to exercise restraint when dealing with yet another transparent liar and propagandist ("love, harmony, peace, yadda, yadda") is to be commended.

It was terrific Mr Spencer!

Laura Ingraham's frustration with the usual Muslim BS was barely suppressed (kudos to her for keeping her cool while at the same time subtly conveying her frustration). And when the Muslim woman denied the fact that Islam presents those 3 options to the infidels, it was terrific the way you slid in (at least twice by my count and with barely a few seconds to spare) - verse 9:29....verse 9:29...

Heh. I notice that your reference to 9:29 struck everyone!

Edina Lekovic, is hardly an A-rab name; sounds eastern European. Is she one of them thar conversions?

The gall of her to say that the media must seek out the "moderates." I would think that the moderates, if there are any, would be bashing down the doors to get their message out.

That (?) was a moderate? Only if we willingly accept unabated flow of taqiyya (she didn't know which qur'an Spencer was reading from - uh huh.) , kitman and/or outright fantasy of whatever ill conceived grievances (-pushed into the ocean???)

Mr. Spencer kept his composure fully armed with the chapter and verse while she slid off the cliff of deception at the end there. NEXT.

Why can't moderate Muslims ever seem to come up with a cogent argument backed up by facts? It's always breathless blather and obfuscation punctuated by unfounded counter-acusations.

Maybe because there isn't a fact-based argument to be made? The holy texts seem to be on the side of the "radicals".

Great job Robert. I couldn't control myself with everything she said. My husband kept shushing me.

You pushed her buttons, and she was desparate to prevent you from speaking.

Folks like her are too used to presenting their views with either no opposition or against uniformed opponents.

She didn't get it her way this time. You did.

And millions of Americans were able to hear the truth for a change.

Edina's snipe was to be expected. Driving the muslims into the ocean. What a joke! No one advocates that here.

It is the Muslims who have stated that they want to drive the jews/Israelis out into the ocean. Chanting death to israel! Death to America!

I am glad that there are people like robert spencer and laura ingram who have the courage to speak out against radical islam.

What's so amazing about denying 9.29 is it means that centuries of Islamic conquests, gobbling up most of Christendom, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and so on, simply never happened. Yet it did, all according to the commands of Sura 9.29. Conversion, the dhimma if monotheistic, or death. That's how the game was played. Islam would have been squashed or limited to Arabia but for that very effective means of expansion. "Effective" should not be interpreted as good in this case.

It would be nice if the world did its homework before it's too late. I started by searching Osama's Qur'an quotes on the Internet. By doing that I learned a number of the tricks Muslims use in warfare and in propaganda. Islam means peace because once Islam takes over you're converted, quiet, or dead. "Oppression" to a Muslim means anything which impedes, however slightly, on the expansion of Islam. Due to death for apostasy, blasphemy, and so on, Islam is a one-way religion. You can check in to Islam, but you can never leave.

MPAC, CAIR, MSA, and ISNA are in the subdue-the-infidel game. Whether it takes playing the victim, litigation, propaganda in higher education, silencing any astute critics, bombings, torture, or beheadings, Islam has a department.

Yeh, that's it.

Those 'moderate' Muslims are all working real hard INSIDE the Mosques.

Well, how will we know for sure without filming them in there?

Lazy media.

PRCS, her " moderates are speaking out inside the mosques" was a copout.

I noticed that Laura praised Edina for speaking against Islamic terrorism. That was strange since I do not remember her denouncing it. Mainly Edina spun that there are moderates denouncing terrorism, but that somehow their voices are not heard. They had no problem being heard about the Pope's statement.

"In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increaseth their disease. A painful doom is theirs because they lie."

freewoman,

Yes, and even Ms. Ingraham called her on that one.

Send your hubbie to the store. The show re-airs at least twice tonight.

freewoman: "PRCS, her " moderates are speaking out inside the mosques" was a copout."

The most effective way to speak out against what is going on inside the mosques is to WALK OUT OF THE MOSQUES.

It's like the old 60's slogan, "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"

The solution for so-called "moderate" Muslims is quite simple - IF they desired a solution. They could simply walk out of their mosques en masse the moment the radicals took over. The idea that the radicals have taken over and the moderates are somehow struggling with them WITHIN the mosques is a joke. The "radicals" would be toast in a weekend if all the supposed moderates simply walked out the door.

Exactly Caroline. If they were actually speaking out against the atrocities of islam, we would have heard them. I'm sure they could be as vocal as CAIR if they wanted.

Thanks for mentioning that you were going to be on Fox, Robert.

For once, being downunder, different time zone, I was able to see you:)

You did very well - you handsome devil, you!

I was unimpressed with Edina. Especially her saying that all the moderates operate in the mosques. Does she mean like the "Cat's Meat" sheik Hilaly as he is now often called?? HELP!
The one who has still not apologised but is obviously pissed off because his message got to the outside world? Interesting,,,,,

No one is going to buy that BS unless they hear moderation from many,,,not just the Darwishes, Shoebats, Sinas and Wafa Sultans of the world!

And we all know those mentioned above are in very short supply.

Robert,

You did very good remaining cool under all the pressure. Even when towards the end a little set of words came out, "driving Muslims into the sea". In other words, the opposite side lost its nerve.

Edina is not the first Muslim spokesperson to attempt to attribute comments posted at this site to Robert.

Not even a good try.

And of course, there's a reason that 'moderate' Muslims don't walk out of the Mosque:

They'd miss the sermon.

"And of course, there's a reason that 'moderate' Muslims don't walk out of the Mosque:

Posted by: PRCS "

LOL! PCRS you forgot to say they don't exist, let alone walk out!

Thanks to callmeinfidel for illuminating the age-old rhetorical sleight of hand employed by Muslims such as the so-called "moderate" when throwing up smoke & mirror distractions from the truth: Indeed, the accusation that Robert would drive Muslims into the ocean was a straight paraphrase of Hezbollah's stated goal of driving Jews into the sea. Amazing.

Read Caroline Glick's op-ed in today's jpost.com(which Robert re-posted here, today), to see how mystified such rhetorical double-speak leaves the Western poodles-that-be (i.e. dhimmi Blair). Like a pocket-watch swaying back-and-forth...you-are-getting-sleeeepy...so-sleeeeeeeepy.

G-d help us all.

I'll drive 'em to the ocean...and put them on ships and planes for dar-al-islam.
What a lie.
It is time for muslims to tell the truth. Hell, the media won't accept what you tell them anyway.

009.029
YUSUFALI: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Funny, I didn't have any trouble finding that verse of the qur'an, it supposedly doesn't exist according to Edina.

Carolyn2, Edina has selective reading. And probably selective hearing, too.

Robert's opponent tonight actually insisted that Islam is not a missionary faith. This kind of obfuscation and deception from a so-called moderate.

I was very pleased to run accross this interview--I hadn't heard about it ahead of time. I've bean reading this site for about a year and a half, but I hadn't heard Mr. Spencer speak until tonight.

He was excellent! Measured and focused. Edina Lefovic's blaming the media for not finding moderate Muslims is ludicrous. The idea that they are speaking out in vast numbers against terror (but only in the mosques--where those lazy media types don't go) was absurd.

She was asked a question by Ingram (sorry--I'm paraphrasing here because I don't have a transcript in front of me) about Christian missionaries being persecuted in Muslim countries, which hardly indicates their openess to people of other faiths.

Lefovic did not answer that question at all, but instead claimed that *Islam* does not prosletyze. Perhaps she really did misunderstand the question, but it seems unlikely. In any case, the idea that Islam is not an expansionist religion is laughable.

Robert called her on it--he meantioned agressive Islamic prosletyzing, especially in prisons. He also referred to the three choices offered non-Muslims--conversion, dhimmitude and the payment of jizya, or war. Lefovic claimed this was a lie, but had nothing to back it up. (Of course, this was the choice offered to kidnapped Fox News journalists Steve Centani and Olaf Wiig just a few weeks ago).

I'm glad Robert cited Koran 9:29--I hope some viewers look it up. The text of course is this:

Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the tribute and have been humbled.
.......

In the end, Lefovic failed to really address any of the issues raised by "The Truth about Mohammed". She finished by implying Robert was simply prejudiced against Muslims, and as proof cited--what else?--supposed immoderate comments made by posters on JW.

Bravo Robert,
I would like to join the chorus of applause for you and your clear voice of reason. Like others have said, I love how you can slip in the chapter and verse (9:29), throwing whomever you are debating off their talking points.
And to Edina, who mentioned she reads this site, WE ARE ON TO YOU, your spin is dissected and destroyed here. You may do ok on CNN, but you are no match for Robert.

Not the best forum for what must be said, but well done considering the venue. (20:45 Pacific, airing again at 01:00 PST)

If this is a spokesperson of the 'moderate' muslims they are not doing themselves any favors.

As they keep insisting that the vast majority are moderate, and the Jihaddi are a fringe element, a radical fringe element, one would think there would be no prolem finding spokespeople. I guess maybe they are with the rest of the moderate crowd standing up to be counted....
In the closet..
With the light off....

So, after seeing Robert on CNN (Glenn Beck Show) and hearing him on Michael Reagan, Neil Boortz, and Michael Medved talk shows (among many others),
FINALLY Robert Spencer on Fox News Channel! With all due respect to Laura Ingraham (who was excellent) she still doesn't have the influence that Bill possesses. Let's hope that Bill O'Reilly watched the show and was duely impressed with Robert's performance and will ask him back.

Now, if only Sean Hannity would end his "boycott" of Robert.

(As previously reported on this site; Regenery Publishing gives Hannity and Colmes the first option to interview authors of new releases, but Hannity has consistently refused to interview Robert).

I just had a thought:
Maybe Edina's hijab was soooooooo tight it stopped the blood servicing her brain??

I'm not a "fashionista" but this was a really not a good look!

Carolyn2
thanks for posting the actual quotation.

(Anyone down here in OZ who missed it I think this is going to be repeated 8pm AEDST on Fox.)

...but Hannity has consistently refused to interview Robert).

Posted by: Xero G

Well,,that says a lot more about Hannity, rather than Robert! What's Sean'a problem? I thought he would have leapt at such a chance.

Foehammer:
Sorry I didn't aknowledge that you also put the quote up. I missed it the first time I read through the posts. My apologies.
