Here is a podcast of one of the most fun interviews I've ever done: an hour yesterday with the fearless, peerless Pamela of the excellent Atlas Shrugs site, and a goodly number of incisive and interesting callers.

Great Interview Robert, very light yet informative. Thanks for sharing it.
Regards
Great idea having Pamela stay in the frame!!
Now.... what did you say anyway?
Some people are going to click on the picture of Spencer and Pamela and think the very brief interview that comes up there is the podcast. Nope. You have to click on the "Here" link to get to the podcast, which is a wonderful, extended interview between Spencer and Pamela.
Atlas Shrugs meets Robert Rules!
(I'm picturing Paul Revere and Lady Godiva for some reason.)
Keep spreading the word.
The Numbskullocracy at large needs a lot of reminding about what the danger is that we are facing from militant, intolerant Islamic expansionism.
A shame Theo Van Gogh will never be interviewed by this lively, lovely lady.
Wow...she is a babe!!! no wonder this was the most funnest interview thing you ever did done....mmmm. If only i was a famous guy...like the other guy whos name rhymes with "Hobert Fencer" I could get on her show too.
Regards
Abrog8: more beautiful women against the islamic menace. I love it!!!
Robert spent last night on the couch because his wife knows how to show Robert "the most fun" he's ever had too.
Pam is great, glad you had a chance to chat with her.
She did a great interview last year with John Bolton; she's really a great advocate.
Cheers!
Hey! Pamela is NOT wearing a hijab/burka; PAMELA IS OFFENSIVE TO ISLAM!! *LOL*
I would think Pam would be better to interview the ME dictators than Pelosi or DianeSawyer! all doing this without the bag on the head!
Actually, I am reluctant to toot my own horn, but I have to be honest, I think it would be a great story if Pamela would interview me... Hello?
I do have a serious question, however. Mr. Spencer cites the figure 70 million for what Indians call the Hindu Holocaust. I have tried to get more information about this period in history, including at http://www.hinduunity.org/ and its associated links, not to mention Wikipedia's article on Islam in India, a website on democide, etc. I have seen numbers in the range between 4.5 million and 80 million. It is hard to imagine India, with its great warrior history, taking that invasion (those are the Moghuls, right?) without inflicting a lot of casualties on the jihadists. So - how did Mr. Spencer latch onto the figure of 70 million as the most authoritative? If accurate, this would be one of the largest, or perhaps the largest, democide in human history.

I'm guessing Pamela (shouldn't that be Pam?) is the only one who has earned the right to call you 'Bobby'. If you are freaking Batman, make Ali Sina Superman and Bridgette Gabriele Catwoman.

A good source for what you are looking for can be found in Konraad Elst's works here, where you get the 80m estimate. Note that the period it covers is between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate). If you factor in the Moghul rule between 1526 to 1761, you could add another 70m to that. Note that this book also compares holocaust denials in case of the Jews and that of the Hindus, as well as the Dome of the Rock vs the Ayodhya temple issues. You'll find it fascinating.
It was as good for me as it was for you.
In the old days we'd pull out a cigarette right about now. ;)
ROBERT, YOU DAH MAN!
Infidel Pride - I just visited the link you gave, to Konraad Elst.
Very instructive.
It is particularly important to Australians to know and publicise this stuff: India is a fellow Commonwealth country, and the Indian community in Australia goes back at least four or five generations now. Indians of Hindu or Christian background are steadily intermarrying with Euro Australians. Within Australia Indian Christians are working very hard to try to evangelise the Indian Muslims, with some success I understand.
Frankly: Australia's natural affinities and alliances in Asia should be with Hindu-majority India, Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka and Thailand, secular Singapore and Catholic-majority Philippines, also Japan and South Korea - NOT with the dangerous, treacherous, unstable, rapidly Islamising regimes of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia or Indonesia.
There was a disturbing piece, though, on the national news lately, where an Aussie politician declared that we should not even be considering selling uranium to India since this would offend the Pakistanis. I quote, from a story by Jeff Waters, posted on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) News Online, August 21 2007:
"Controversy surrounding the Government's plan to sell uranium to India was taken to a whole new level today, with Labor saying it could affect Australian troops in Afghanistan.
"Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Robert McClelland says the uranium sales may offend Pakistan to such an extent that the country could withdraw its support for the war in Afghanistan and pull out of its battles with the Taliban on its side of the border.
"And he says the logical conclusion of that is that Australian troops fighting in Afghanistan could be threatened by this new uranium policy.
"Mr McClelland's statements were prompted by concerns voiced overnight by the Pakistani Government.
"Through foreign ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam, Pakistan has been warning India against suggestions that it should resume nuclear weapons tests.
'The resumption of nuclear tests by India would create [a] serious situation obliging Pakistan to review its position and to take action appropriate and consistent with our supreme national interest.'
"BUT MS ASLAM HAS ALSO WARNED AUSTRALIA, saying plans to sell uranium to India would tip the strategic balance in the region, and that Pakistan does not want a nuclear arms race. [I'll bet! They just want a Muslim monopoly on WMD in the region].
"Mr McClelland says selling uranium to India is a dangerous move.
"'I think the decision of the Australian Government to sell uranium to India risks causing such resentment in Pakistan that they will withdraw or at least scale back the extent to which they are providing assistance in the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda militias that are based in Pakistan," he said.
"'Granted, it hasn't been as enthusiastic as one would like, but we are nonetheless dependent upon the cooperation of Pakistan."
"Mr McClelland says militias are launching attacks against Australian troops from within Pakistan, so it would be a mistake to get the Pakistani Government offside by selling uranium to India.
"This is a decision that in the longer term could potentially prejudice the safety of the Australian troops based in Afghanistan," he said."
