I thought your message to Rifqa at the end was beautiful Robert, I hope she somehow got to hear it.Keep on fighting for this poor little girl. If she is sent back I genuinely believe that they will kill or "disappear her"
That's about as good as it gets...You do really well with spontaneous presentations...I won't say unprepared because you are never unprepared...
Is Robert married? If not, I want him to be my boyfriend and snuggle up with me by the fireplace during cold nights.
You're out of luck. He's married (I first worked that out when I watched 'Islam: What the West Needs to Know' and saw that he was wearing a wedding ring, and had the sleek, well-cared for look of a happily married man).
My deductions were confirmed when I later read 'Islam Unveiled' (2002) and saw, in the Acknowledgments, his very moving remarks about his family: 'I postponed a good many games and trips to finish this book, and thank my children for their mature understanding, as well as for their ever-delightful support and love. Above all, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my lovely wife. Her acuity, wit, patience, resourcefulness and love leave me in awe, and fill my life with pure joy".
That was in 2002; I do most sincerely pray that all remains well in the Spencer household despite the tremendous stress they must surely be under, given the line of work that he has chosen. Blessings on them all.
True. You can judge how great a person is by who hates him. With enemies like the apologist Karen Armstrong and the ragbag collection of Leftist fruitcakes named on Wikipedia, Robert must certainly be doing something right.
Bold and informative interview, as always.
And what a lovely message to Rifqa at the end!
Do you want to know something? And I think many will agree with me on this...
I have found more respect with ex-Muslims than with many of the left-wing Christians that I have encountered in my conversations. They have a deep and profound understanding of the threat of Islam. They aren't afraid to admit that jihad and sharia are a threat to our freedoms.
I enjoyed this interview immensely, Robert.
Many thanks to David for sharing this video with us and especially to Nabil Qureshi for his comical but intelligent questioning.
We are in good company with ex-Muslims.
We all love you Rifqa! Stay positive and stay focused on freedom and on your true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thanks!
Great video !
But why do we say there is no solution? Can't we get more Nabil Qureshis?
We need to make conversion efforts specifically targetted at muslims. Pull them out of Islam.
Unless we go on the offensive, and try to turn around the numbers game, this will be a losing battle.
I was blessed to attend the Rifqa Rally and give Robert "the Rock Star" a hug and have him sign my Stealth Jihad book. In my suburban world no one knows who Robert and Pamela are...but these two and so many others in this fight against radical Islam are my heros and stand for all that is right in our great country. This interview brought tears to my eyes and I often contemplate the time, energy and money these patriots for religious freedom so unselfishly expend! Your efforts and Rifqa Bary's freedom remain in my family's prayers. See you at Rifqa's hearing on Dec. 22.

Sara I agree with what you say. Robert could be standing behind you in line at the bank or grocery store and many people would have no idea who he is and how tirelessly he works for freedom and to get the word out about this threat. Then there are those of us who know. We can only pray that this group is growing quickly so that more and more people will see clearly too.
