In this week's Jihad Watch videoblog at Hot Air, I welcome you into my office here in the Jihad Watch Towers in Secure Undisclosed Locationville, to show you some of the Islamic books I used in writing my book The Truth About Muhammad, which has been banned in Pakistan -- where those Islamic books are readily available.
This is an anamorphic picture, just like Holbein's "The Ambassadors." You need the right angle of vision to see that, while the books stay largely the same, Robert actually will appear to be a normal human being.
Nice looking office, Robert. Neat, clean, and organized. Is the whole thing that way, or just the part we can see??
Robert may l say your office is where ever your books are sold to many grateful people. l need to buy another, my others have been loaned out, one to a US service men still in Iraq. l rather he pass it along to his buddies. may God bless you and keep you safe.
Robert, thank-you for bringing your posting members to your office. This makes this experience a truly learning one.
I am having trouble in watching any video on Hot Air. I clicked on it around 15 minutes back, and it is still "loading". Had no problems with videos earlier today. Help, please.
Robert-
I have been sending your book to others via amazon as a present. I have learned not to loan out books from my library-which is also in my office. Don't loan books or else say goodbye to them.
You see i have all them ugly islamic books as well, however so i do not get cursed by jinn i only access them by the internet. lol i dont allow that junk inside my house!
These Thursday Jihadwatch segments with Robert Spencer are greatly anticipated and very much appreciated. Short educational video segments provide a useful visual tool for those of us that benefit from this added dimension.
This particular film clip would do well embedded in e-mail to folks who would generally not look at blogs or spend time online beyond reading e-mail and mapping directions.
BTW, is the Vice President of JihadWatch.org, the illustrious Hugh Fitzgerald, ever going to make an appearance? A virtual bank of knowledge, it would be an extraordinary event to hear/view one of the dissertations we find here at JW/DW.
I always look forward to watching the redoubtable Robert Spenser on Hot Air or anywhere. He calls for open debate on controversial points but really, even if the major media invited such a debate, what Muslim authority would have the nerve to face him? This fact alone reveals the weakness of Islam.
Incidentally, the part about the choices offered to infidels is even in the Koran:
“Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah[] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (The Noble Quran 9:29).
Robert
You have a beautiful office - pity that it has to be defiled by such vile literature, and even there, you don't have all of it, as you mentioned in your Q&A on C-Span some months ago. I recommend accessing all your desired Islamic literature here - looks like there were Muslims with nothing better to do than create a search engine with which to scour such material. Only thing missing there was the Sira.
That mention that the Sira that you had was printed in Pakistan was priceless.
Like WDWJ, I wouldn't defile my home with such vile material. Online however, I can bring it in & out whenever I want.
Robert,
Nice office. Is than an Olan Mills backdrop? giggle
Yeah man, the Truth will set us all Free !
