I am scheduled to discuss briefly the threat against Goldman Sachs and related matters on CNBC's Kudlow and Company today, probably between 5:30 and 6:00PM EST.
As always, this may not happen -- you just never know. But I am scheduled.

Robert,
If you do nearly as well on Kudlow as you did on Cavuto yesterday, You'll be doing the American public a great service.
your performance yesterday on Cavuto was quite good. straightforward, without emotional excess.
Spence , you were great on Cavuto. I am mad at open borders Larry due to his poor treatment of Ann Coulter. Give him a workout.

Robert-
One basic point you make over and over again is that there is a direct connection between Jihad violence is and Muslim dogma, the Qu'ran, Muslim scholar rulings on the meaning of the Qu'ran, etc. (The world needs to see a Muslim Vatican Council to get rid of the Jew-hating, Dhimmitude, etc.)
The Jihad killers are not quoting the Book of Joshua or the Book of Mormon-or anything else. The problem here must be addressed by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. What you have been saying now for quite some time is just plain common sense. JW is very important for that reason.
Stay the course. One day it will be a big ho-hum that you were right (maybe 10 years from now). At that time there will be another problem with something else other than Islam, but you will have done your duty on this matter.
The problem with a Muslim Vatican Council is that the majority of Muslim scholars and clerics would show up unarmed and the significant minority would settle theological arguments with gunfire and bombs. The significant minority must be dealt with by everyone. This bumper sticker "Islamophobia" nonsense is getting in the way of common sense and Muslim self interest.
Robert
Interesting that your TV appearances are all on the Financial shows. Maybe start analyzing stocks, bonds, NASDAQ, interest rates, property values, et al. Way to segway there from Islam? - Maybe start with the analysis of Islamic finance and banking (the 'interest-free' scams), and go from there. ;-)
Infidel Pride:
It worked for Wayne Rogers. From M*A*S*H to FOX News financial commentator.
Robert:
Just saw it show. Well done. You seem more relaxed and are getting better each time you're on TV or radio. Keep it up.
I only wish they'd say "....director of JihadWatch DOT ORG" or put the URL up on the screen.
"the" show.
Robert:
Well done, although they didn't give you a lot of time. I wish you could have stayed for the Iran segment.
Infidel Pride:
The quality of journalism on the financial side is higher. The FINANCIAL TIMES does great stories on Islam, many of which have been cited on Jihadwatch.
Another example of a financial media source doing a good job covering Jihad

Robert,
A+ for the short time that you had on Kudlow & Company. Great job by throwing in the "strike terror into their hearts," as it couldn't have fit the context better.
You are making tremendous progress by establishing yourself on respected financial shows and journals. Poor Lawrence Kudlow though will be getting a temper tantrum from Ibrahim Hooper shortly!
Infidel Pride-
Or where to invest in security stocks. Everywhere Muslims go a significant minority among them create a market for that. Maybe added to JW and DW should be Muslim Market Watch. In that, many Muslims kill two birds with one stone. Many Muslims are instrumental in promoting that industry (security cameras, metal detectors, etc.) It's reality. MMW.
Jan
You're right on that - follow Financial shows like Cavuto and Kudlow for Jihad related news, political shows like Hannity & Colmes for tabloid news, legal shows like Greta or Guillefoile for more tabloid news, news shows like Geraldo for more.... I also agree that Kudlow could have kept Robert for the Iran segment, just as Cavuto could have kept Robert on yesterday for the Zawahiri segment (but then what would Robert know - he's just the expert on Islam). Since most of the serious news worldwide is either Islam or Jihad related, there aren't too many shows on which he'd be out of place.
Frank
Such a market would be a segment all its own, deserve its own index fund, et al. Maybe JW could be re-cast as a Mutual Fund or ETX fund focusing on security infrastructure worldwide, and invest the investor cash into companies that make such products, as well as into think tanks that are willing to analyze the Islamic factor in all the terrorism and intimidation trends worldwide.
Robert could advise on where to invest in security stocks. In fact, he could be the president of an Investment Group that deals with that. The group could include Muslims, Brits, Jewish folks, Americans, Indians etc. and they might market themselves as "Global Jihad Market Watch-investment opportunities in the Global Jihad market".
Infidel-
We think along the same lines on this.
Two main reasons come to mind to explain why the economic crowd is more attentive to jihad.
One is the general set of priorities in the media, and for the "man on the street." It's often hard to get people to care about conflicts in seemingly remote parts of the world. Not to mention the fact that most other news is fluff (like the time Robert was pre-empted for breaking news on Michael Jackson), or politics and political bias overshadows the substance of the other stories. But everyone has a stake in the economy, from finding a job to retirement savings, mortgage rates, etc. If something is going to affect the economy, people care.
Another is investors' strong dislike of uncertainty. And jihad activity is a major source of that, both overseas, where oil is concerned, and with economic institutions' being choice targets for domestic attacks.
Shoot. I go out for a couple of hours and I miss the segment!
If possible, could the video be posted like the Cavuto segment was yesterday??

I have come to the conclusion that only financial news outlets can be depended upon to tell the truth for that reason. I listen to Bloomberg News for that reason. In NY it's 11:30 AM on the dial. They are "on the money".
Marisol
You are right, but for financial programs, they'd do well to follow up with the economic ramifications of what would happen when such attacks materialize. We saw what 9/11 did to Dow & NASDAQ - maybe start from there, and analyze how such plots, if successful, would affect the market, and different sectors of the economy (e.g. what would be the ramifications of a whole bunch of doctors being found to be enemy combatants, and removed from the circuit?) Or, when analyzing Iraq, discussing their influence on oil prices and ripple effects, or how energy policy might dampen the influence of oil prices. Stuff that more explicitly shows how interconnected these all are.
That said, I'm happy to see Robert wherever he's welcome.
l would love to know what cranky calls Lawrence Kudlow recieves after Robert's segment on his show.
The ratings will go up with Robert, and l suspect that they will have him on more often.
OT: One of Cavuto's segments on Friday was "Should Muslim Doctors Be Banned from the US." He had 2 pro and con guests. Cavuto has been pretty impressive the last couple of days.
Concerning the term "Islamophobia" that's supposed to be a negative?
Heck no, it's an obvious positive. Considering the "Kill the Infidel" contents of the Koran, anyone who is NOT Islamophobic is ignorant of the Koran.
The word "phobia" is used incorrectly in this context, however. A phobia is defined as an irrational fear.
Fearing Islam is rational.
