You can find the contentious interview here -- I come in right after the eight-minute mark.
Spencer on the BBC answers the Norway murder smears
Great interview Robert, I liked your "take no prisoners" tone. You left no doubt that you accept absolutely no blame for the Norway murders.
BTW, you come in closer to the 8 min mark.
I agree that Breivik is a psychopath. If anyone is interested in more information about psychopathy, a good source would be anything written by Robert Hare but especially his book Without Conscience. Also, Robert Hare has a Web site which is www.hare.org

There may be many newcomers here who, in light of the recent bombing and shooting spree in Norway, have come to Jihad Watch to learn about who Robert Spencer is.
I have followed Jihad Watch for years. I have read all of Robert's books. I have watched all of his debates online... I have never ever read or seen anything from Robert which could have been twisted to endorse or advocate the kind of senseless murder we saw in Norway.
Robert is a passionate, kind-natured, and articulate defender of human, individual, and women's rights and human freedoms... He is a strong advocate of freedom of speech and of expression. He is someone who cares deeply about others and who has a profound respect for human life and human dignity.
Those who would attempt to vilify or demonize Robert for having some part in this senseless killing spree are making a false and extraordinarily lazy moral equivalency.
Let us please attempt to have some perspective.
Do not let these senseless attacks by Anders Breivik, who is clearly a sick psychopathic individual, blind you to the truth.
Radical Islam (not all Muslims, obviously) is an ideology of hatred, misogyny, and bigotry, and has been the number 1 purveyor of worldwide human rights abuses in the last 10 years.
In fact, lest we forget... there have been at least 17,500 individual acts of terror since 9/11:
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Some estimates put the number of victims in the hundreds of thousands. In the past five years, according to the documentary film "Killing in the name" (nominated for an academy award last year), over 88,000 people have been killed by Islamic extremists in the last 5 years alone:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1684897/
While the Norway attack was horrific, and tragic, and despicable... (and immediately denounced by virtually everyone on "the hard right" including Robert Spencer) it simply does not hold a candle to to the kind of violence, and hatred, and misogyny that we have seen by radical Islamists since 9/11.
And Robert, I think I speak for many here when I say that we stand behind you, we are grateful for your sacrifice and your commitment to truth, and we thank you for being who you are: A strong, determined defender of human rights, and a true American patriot.
When Pigs Fly:
Thanks. I just fixed the notice.
Cordially
Robert Spencer
Spencer handled this interview brilliantly. The BBC interviewer tried with every single question to score on Spencer. But Spencer stopped the puck every time and repeatedly knocked it right into the other side's goal. This is why Spencer is boycotted more than debated. He's too difficult to beat.
The maniac killer hated Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs (as per his manifesto}..Why no smear/attack tactics on him by the media? Perhaps there's a "killer" "explosive" story there you idiots.
You're barking up the wrong tree..Newshounds! Ha!
In all my four years here,NEVER has Robert EVER advocated,insinuated nor remotely alluded to or hinted of violent behaviour,nor anywhere else he has appeared on the net.
Schmucks..
Robert,
That was great! The BBC fool obviously hit you with his best shot, a quote of yours Breivik invoked in his "manifesto":
"[Islam] is a religion and a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with western society. Because of media in general and government unwillingness to face the sources of Islamic terrorism, these things remain largely unknown."
Of course this is at least at least four degrees of separation from what the BBC guy wanted. It wasn't an unfair criticism of Islam, let alone of some Muslims, let alone of all Muslims, let alone an incitement to violence.
You're right. Who the hell knows HOW Breivik got to where he eventually got from here? It's an important question, perhaps, and an interesting one. But it's not your responsibilty to ask or answer it.
This dopey BBC interviewer was just repeating what the CIA dolt was saying in the now infamous NYT article with this BBC guy’s reference to “the emergence of Al Qaeda from Islamic Salafism ideology” and asking if Robert acknowledges that “extremes can emerge from a more rationally expressed ideology.” (As if Salafism is “rational.”) Either the BBC mindlessly cribbed it from the NYT article or there are some talking points being circulated.
Either way, more joke journalism.
You spoke very well Robert, and got your message through. It wasn't the trap that NBC was. I think the Brits may be waking up a little now that they can see with their eyes the fruit of Islam, and Muslim immigration.
I don't see any signs of pathology nigher in Breviks political manifesto nor in his criminal actions. He is definitely not a sociopath, but he could be a delusional narcissist to some degree.
The mass murderer did what the did because he found it necessary (based on a 'rational' analysis), and had to overcome himself to do it. On the island he let one 11 year old boy get away after the boy pleaded for his life and told the killer that he had shot his father.
Brevik seems to be another example of what the political philosopher Hannah Arendt called 'the banality of evil'.
During the imprisonment of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann before his trial, the Israeli government sent no less than six psychologists to examine Eichmann. Not only did these doctors find no trace of mental illness, but they also found no evidence of abnormal personality whatsoever. One doctor remarked that his overall attitude towards other people, especially his family and friends, was "highly desirable", while another remarked that the only unusual trait Eichmann displayed was being more "normal" in his habits and speech than the average person.
Arendt suggests that this most strikingly discredits the idea that the Nazi criminals were manifestly psychopathic and different from "normal" people. From this document, many concluded that situations such as the Holocaust can make even the most ordinary of people commit horrendous crimes with the proper incentives, but Arendt adamantly disagreed with this interpretation, as Eichmann was voluntarily following the Führerprinzip.
The difference is that Brevik was his own Führer, made his own principles and followed the 'logical' conclusions he arrived at.
Well done, Robert -- although I have felt and continue to feel that you don't have a damn thing to explain.
Was Salinger responsible for the actions of Chapman, Bardo, and Hinckley?
Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.
good job Robert,

Mr. Spencer handled himself very well and I don't believe his credibility is really hurt by this insane Norwegian's atrocities or his name dropping. Virtually anything written has the potential to be falsely used, associated or called an inspiration for a mad man. Does this interviewer want free speech and expression limited by what might be falsely used? Then there would be no free speech at all.
Ole, about Breivik, I think that one of our great weaknesses in the West is that we "understand" and Psychologize everything to death. This is all I have to say about Anders Breivik:
Mannen er en kriminell, ren og enkel.
The man's a criminal, pure and simple.
Perhaps some of us are bad-tempered, high-strung, and more violence prone than others. But for every Breivik out there, there are dozens who manage to keep themselves under control.
PGuud,
Good thinking on the JD Salinger reference. That's definitely one to repeat.
This reminds me of the way the left went after Sarah Palin after the shootings in Arizona, as if she she were to blame because of her gun sites/target on political ads, which is used by democrats as well. Robert you were great as usual, and l think on the offensive with this BBC loser which means you took no prisoners! We cannot control the demented person who thinks he needs to kill innocent people to advance his sickness. Where Robert and others have shown the islamists who do use their koran's words for their terrorism! Where is the MSM on this point!!
Holy Moly, I read _Catcher in the Rye_ when I was in High School, and never ran away from home or school to get lost in New York for a night or two and act like a fool. Is there something wrong with me?
What is it with these Leftards (thanks to who ever coined the term)? Do they believe that people have to behave badly simply because they read a page or two of content-rich criticism? And, after all the "understanding" the immoderate Left has shown to a dreary parade of mass-murderers, sociopaths, and other specimens in power,can't they have a little for one Norwegian who went off the deep end? [sarcasm off]
Ya know, I'm forming a theory: maybe the Leftards judge the effectiveness of an author by how many people he or his readers kill, which is why they are now turning their britches brown over Breivik's dropping Robert's name. The Left is now scared that the other side has writers as effective as their own icons (at least in the Left's own reasoning).
"The Nazis who claimed inspiration or sustenance from Nietzsche merely read what they wanted to read, in his writings. Nietzsche, for example, hated anti-Semites."
True. Nietzsche respected Judaism and was admired by Jews and the Zionists:
"The history of Israel is invaluable as a typical history of an attempt to denaturize all natural values: I point to five facts which bear this out. Originally, and above all in the time of the monarchy, Israel maintained the right attitude of things, which is to say, the natural attitude. Its Jahveh was an expression of its consciousness of power, its joy in itself, its hopes for itself: to him the Jews looked for victory and salvation and through him they expected nature to give them whatever was necessary to their existence—above all, rain. Jahveh is the god of Israel, and consequently the god of justice: this is the logic of every race that has power in its hands and a good conscience in the use of it. In the religious ceremonial of the Jews both aspects of this self-approval stand revealed. ..." (Quoted from "The Antichrist").
On the other hand the Nazis did not misinterpret what Martin Luther said should be done to the Jews.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler listed Martin Luther as one of the greatest reformers. And similar to Luther in the 1500s, Hitler spoke against the Jews. The Nazi plan to create a German Reich Church laid its bases on the "Spirit of Dr. Martin Luther." The first physical violence against the Jews came on November 9-10 on Kristallnacht (Crystal Night) where the Nazis killed Jews, shattered glass windows, and destroyed hundreds of synagogues, just as Luther had proposed. In Daniel Johah Goldhagen's book, Hitler's Willing Executioners, he writes:
"One leading Protestant churchman, Bishop Martin Sasse published a compendium of Martin Luther's antisemitic vitriol shortly after Kristallnacht's orgy of anti-Jewish violence. In the foreword to the volume, he applauded the burning of the synagogues and the coincidence of the day: 'On November 10, 1938, on Luther's birthday, the synagogues are burning in Germany.' The German people, he urged, ought to heed these words 'of the greatest antisemite of his time, the warner of his people against the Jews.'"
But Nietzsche hated Christianity just as much as Luther hated Judaism:
"—With this I come to a conclusion and pronounce my judgment. I condemn Christianity; I bring against the Christian church the most terrible of all the accusations that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. It is, to me, the greatest of all imaginable corruptions; it seeks to work the ultimate corruption, the worst possible corruption. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul. ... I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough,—I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race. ..."
But don't despair, Nietzsche admired Islam:
"If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men. ...
Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!... The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.” —What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich. ... Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! ..." (Quoted from "The Antichrist").
At least Nietzsche was or became insane, a manic-depressive illness with periodic psychosis, followed by vascular dementia, and I think Luther suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder and a number of phobias.
It always amazes me that their are people out there that somehow think they have to curb theirs or others freedom of expression if there is the chance it may set off some psychotic(s) among us.
"Lunacy is not a litmus test for deciding what should be of importance and what should not".
If every critic designed his arguments or analysis so they would not set off a psychotic somewhere there would be no critics.
The critics of Islam that I have read have never advocated for violence in anyway, they have only warned people of what Islam inculcates in its Quranic teachings.
As Robert Spencer's scholarship more than reasonably notes in 10 books and hundreds if not thousands of articles , Islamic Supremacy is and has been a threat for nearly 1,400 years to the non Muslim world and the most important thing to do is to protect and preserve a nations laws from any efforts at sharia.
A nation has a duty not only to defend and protect itself from enemies both foreign and abroad, to do otherwise is to invite the Trojan Horse of Islam into the nations parlor.
There is one upside in all this mess, all this media attention is free publicity for the anti-jihadist movement and might make Pamela and Robert household names. Once the masses of neutral people do some research, they will realize that you have been right all along.
While I don't like that they reduce your interviews to 10 second sound-bites, at least they've given you a huge platform on the MSM to represent our perspective-something that the media has refrained from doing for a very long time-aside from Fox News and a few other smaller outlets.
All this attention gives you (Robert) a great opportunity to educate them masses and bring tens of thousands of more people to our cause. It reminds me of the EDL, the more the MSM demonized them, the more members they gained and now they're a formidable group.
*by sound-bites of course I was referring to some other interviews, at least in this one the BBC gave you a bit more time to state your case.
Godspeed Robert Spencer, and keep on, keepin' on, for all need to remember, that the truth may hurt some, but it is still the truth, no matter who utters it.
Unfortunately for the leftist media, Muslims, and Islam apologists collectively, the truth about Islam is routinely and accurately espoused by none other than Mr. Robert Spencer.
More and more Robert Spencer is put in the same position as Israel. Reviled by the ignorant and the wicked. Admired and esteemed by those who know the truth of things.
Well spoken Robert. The interviewer was really trying to get you to say that which you have not said. You always do a great job articulating your point. Keep it up as I can only imagine this will continue.
"Any nut-case can invoke anyone he wants as his inspiration, it doesn't mean the person he invokes has any responsibility".
Oh really?
Hate-sites such as jihadwatch have to take responsibility for their content as well as the comments left by the very hateful people that visit them.
Your website is used as a source in that nut-case's manifesto.
Take some responsibility.
Disgusting.
Listening to the interview has once again convinced me that Robert Spencer is a God-sent to the naive community of the West.
It still remains a shame that reporters, editor and broadcasters in the West are yet to create or opine a few lines-theory, parallel to Roberts great draft and scribes - as to how best the West could be saved from the menace of Islam.
One is easily dumb-founded that 911, its celebration in the Muslim world, the coronation of Osama bin Laden as the next Islamic prophet after Mohammed (Mohammed…may the peace of the blood of all non-Muslims he killed to become a prophet remain upon him - Amen), and their reaction World-over after his elimination, is not enough wake-up call for these light skin/brain Beings.
It is unfortunate that this recent Oslo incident has just involuntarily made the World ask “who is this great Robert Spencer?” We hope that a better opportunity will emerger - from which more people, even in the Islamic World, will be educated by him.
On their struggle to be-little Robert Spencer’s deportment, I suggest that the Media and their gullible political allies know from my Grand Mother, that "…a healthy child, constantly crying for more and more milk is worth 10 (Ten) that are allergic to all provisions"
Milk, after-all, is to the life of a child as freedom is to the life of a State.
Actually, I don't think he hated or admired any group or people. He respected and admired Jesus, he has many positive things to say about him. He HATES Paul and every "christian" that came after, because they, basically, were just crude imitations of what, for Nietzsche, was the only real Christian ever to walk the earth: Jesus. Nietzsche was about the individual overcoming the herd, remember.
It is doubtful that he had any respect for Islam, his words are essentially just bluster and trying to be controversial. His writing is full of that. It's unlikely he knew much about Islam and indeed he probably knew that. If he had a better knowledge of the historical side of Islam he would lump it in with Christianity. Any real 'respect' for Islam would probably be placed in successful displays of islamic power and life, not religion of any sort. Nietzsche happily garbled history and botched it up to make his philosophical point, and often, imo, his disinterest in historical accuracy is never a burden to the reader.
Nietzeche elsewhere said 'bad' things about the Jews, but this is entirely consistent with his basic disgust of most things everywhere. In his private life - outside his published work - he verbally displayed disgust at anti-Semites.
No one could blame Nietzsche for the rise of Nazism though, it's the hijacking and cherry picking of an incredible man with a wealth of complex work - most of which was ignored. This is EXACTLY what is happening to P. Geller and R. Spencer, with this Norway mentalist. How many times do both of them strongly say the ballot and non-violence are paramount to our way of life, yet this is ignored - by the media as well, predictably. Mr. Spencer, on top of this, is painfully right to point out that it is not plausible to "see" what a complete mentalist saw in x or y - the way this massed murderer understands the world is different to most of us: what we see as 'blue' he may well see 'green'.
I mean, this murderer appears to have been plagiarizing whole junks of another terrorist - does that sound like a rational man, seriously trying to change the world? Such an important document - in sane hands - would be hand crafted, not lifted from another terrorist!
Muslims are the Haters, Mo - just following your hate-filled mass-murdering pedophile slave-owning Warlord pretending to be a prophet.
Bravo Jihad Watch! The most important website on the 'net!
Wilders, Geller, and Spencer - Heroes all.
Seriously, bro?
Is the Koran then, a 'hate-book' when it says that a woman's word is worth half a mans? That sounds hateful to me. What sort of 'god' would say such a thing?
There are many Muslims who reject this part of the Koran: they are good people. And there are many who believe it is true: those Muslims are evil.
Are we misquoting the Koran? Are we taking it out of context?
Alas for thee, the Koran is on the internet for all to see. We can buy it. We can buy advanced translations of it. As Mr. Spencer suggests, we should ALL read the Koran. And decide for ourselves.
You may tell your lies about these websites being 'hate-sites', it serves the agenda you hide. One might beg you to reconsider, to step back and look at things from another point of view. Are you sure the world is as you see it?
Even though Spencer is suddenly left to dodging bullets in the Court of Public Opinion, I'm impressed that he is discussed by one of the best writers at The American Spectator:
http://spectator.org/archives/2011/07/26/the-new-york-times-finds-its-p
And his co-conspirator in this unfolding web of Islamophobic fear mongering, Mark Steyn, also gets a mention.
*** Bukhari Vol 7 Bk 71 Nbr 661 ***
Magic was worked on Mohammed and he was bewitched so that he began to imagine doing things which in fact he had not done.
Which in fact tells me this: Game On.
Great job Robert. Dhimis are coming out of the woodwork trying to blame everything on Robert and Pam.
On page 672 (992 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad, he says
...kill those who disbelieve in God.
On page 222 (326 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad, he affirms that those who do not follow him will be slaughtered:
Abu jahl said to them: "Muhammad alleges that if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians. Then after death you will be raised to gardens like those of the Jordan. But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered, and when you are raised from the dead you will be burned in the fire of hell." The apostle [Muhammad] came out to them with a handful of dust saying: "I do say that."
Are muhammadan' "dowry" contracts - traditionally between families as sole parties - enforceable outside of Shariastan? See for yourself. But it worse, women can be made parties even if the arrangement - usually among first cousins - is de jure slavery. You gotta accomodate the "tradition."
http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/11/09/2011BCSC0985.htm
See an actual "dowry" contract, executed in Jordan.
What is amazing in canada for the CBC (Caliphate Broadcasting Corp) over this mass-murder is that even after a Jihad group took credit for it within the first few hours, the CBC refused to mention Islam or Muslims.
But then they foamed at the mouth when it was Ok to blame a "Christian" when the killer appeared to be White and was tied to being a christian at one point.
The CBC then linked Robert Spencer, Pam Geller,Mark Styne and the JDL/EDL . BUT.....once the toothpaste was out of the tube for putting the blame of people mentioned in the killer 1500 tirade of garble and 700'000 words of nonsense, low and behold we now see that a fan of the CBC is also linked to the killer but this fan also sold a book that showed how the Shock-Doctrine is effective to stun people into change.
Yes folks the Hamas-friendly eco-fascist that endrose the movie " Age of stupid"( this movie attacked airplanes as the worse GHG creater and pollutant) and flew by Plane to the COP-15 scam where they promoted stoppiong non-white from having babies or getting clean-power, is none other than the wealthy/white/smug/elite/faminist Naomi Klein.
Naomi Klein was the Poster girl for the CBC to bash all white males and non-muslims as evil Capitalists raping the Earth by logging and getting rich off the poor.
So now that Naomi Klein is more tied to inciting this slaughter as her Shock-Doctrine book detailed how to do it and what works best, the CBC won't go near it because Klein is one of theirs.
But Klein is just another arrogant/white/smug/liberal that lies to the peons and masses that they are the Crusaders for justice and equality and will save the Eath.
Klein gets rich of destroying trees to make her books that bash Capitalism and attack those that harm the Earth as a consumer. How odd, Klein flies around the world by jet as Al Gore Does,is almost as wealthy as Michael Moore,has almost as many houses as Al Gore and she joins them in allowing Brown and Black babies to die for her causes .
If Robert gets linked tothe Oslo murders, then lets now nail Namomi Klein as the most guilty because HER books to incite vilence to make change, my gawd she loves the fascists Cuba and doesn't mind Hamas murdering gays in public or using females as suicide bombers.
BTW
Check out a great video by Ezra Levant as he rips apart the CBC that claims to not want to use "terrorism" in news reports but had just ran a new item to call the JDL in canada a "Banned" terrorist group.
The CBC won't call CAIR and the Khadr's that,they purged the news of Terrorism from all past 9/11 reports. How sad that the majority of non-muslims in canada know that the real issue is that the leaders and CBC fear suicide-bombers and beheading by Muslims in canada and therefore will only say that islam=peace and that every faith has terrorists.
This self-censoring for non-muslims for fear of being murdered says more about islams fascist tenets to oppress people and use violence and compulsion in religion.
Perfect, Robert!
Brilliant job!
I hope nobody takes offense, but I have come to believe that Spencer was more comfortable when JW operated as an Academic vehicle. Frankly, I kinda liked it better that way too. The Activist phase didn't really start until the Ground Zero Mosque issue. I would like to see him leave activism to his dear friend Pamela Geller. I believe in the rule: don't bite off more than you can chew.
As for the name "Jihad Watch," jihad - or mohammadan-aggression - is an outshot of muhammad's sharia-dictate: "jihad is prescribed to you." I am really anti-sharia more than anti-jihadi.
Oklahoma voters tossed applications of extra-National law without Academic or activist support. That movement - which should be promoted throughout the Free World - won't be advanced by noisy campaigns. Activists need rear based support. Some might want to put away the protest signs and get out the source material. Others like the front line.
No? Who here is even aware that CAIR et al are running a major campaign against use of non-mohammadans in military training? All I saw on that key issue was a bare bones defense of Walid Shoebat, without use of CAIR etc materials that advance mohammadan monopoly in training against aggression. They will get that monopoly, if those effected don't get Academic support. Enough of the shallow triumphalism; the Anti-Sharia forces need to re-vitalize.
OT: My comment on Mustafa Akyol's unrealistic article about freedom and Islam today at National Review Online (NRO allowed the comment to be posted):
I don't find the writer persuasive. He more or less seems to be saying, "Hey folks, Islam's not so bad, turns out it's pretty compatible with freedom. It's those darned hadiths, but they can be ignored."The writer doesn't mention that without the hadiths, Muslims would not even know how to practice the five pillars of Islam.
Nor does the writer mention that the Qur'an repeatedly says -- over 25 times -- to obey Muhammad. Well, how can a Muslim do that? He has to look at the Hadith. The Qur'an can be pretty bloody harsh toward infidels, but hadiths really spell things out. And don't forget the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad. If you want to see some juicy verbatim quotes from canonical hadiths and from that earliest bio, all accompanied by reference links, check out http://www.quotingislam.blogspot.com .
It's great that the writer supports spreading liberty in the Islamic realms. But how are Muslims to abandon the Hadith, as the writer suggests, even though the Qur'an says Muslims must obey Muhammad? And the Hadith, and I mean only the most canonical, "sahih" hadiths, show Muhammad as a totalitarian. In 1954, Bernard Lewis wrote an essay in which he said there was a real kinship between Communism and Islam. He quotes the line, "There is no God, and Marx is his prophet." You can find an excerpt from that essay at the website I linked just above.
Unfortunately, Islam looks set to achieve in Europe what Communism never could. Islam has greater numbers, greater fanaticism, and a much more profound, complex and powerful set of totalitarian expansionist strategies than does Communism.
To persuade me, the writer would have to go head to head with Robert Spencer, and win the debate. Spencer seems to be the only one now who has the guts and clarity to tell the truth about this stuff. Most of the rest of the conservative (and liberal) writers are a bunch of dumb-ass cowards on this critical issue, and right now I'm furious at you for it.
Hate-sites such as jihadwatch have to take responsibility for their content .......
Give just *one* example of hate speech that has ever appeared on this site written by Robert Spencer, just *one*.
It's clowns like you with sweeping, unsupportable statements that show your arguments to be totally without value.
The only hate speech on this site comes from the Qur'an. For example: 'Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve.' (8.55)
Qur'an: 8:55
إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللّهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Inna sharra alddawabbi AAinda Allahi allatheena kafaroo fahum la yuminoona
I'm not a Muslim and so the Qur'an considers me to be one of the vilest of creatures. Now, that's hate speech!
You're a clown!
http://majorlyprofound.wordpress.com/2011/07/23/lone-wolf-is-lonely/
Something for friends to chew on.hope you get to read this & other posts in this blog.
Meanwhile,If Sites like Jihad watch should take the blame for a murderous lunatic's actions ,then shouldn't the Koran & the Umma be responsible & take blame for their terrorism against non-muslims,Women etc.
Great Job Robert!
I noticed the BBC guy was trying to get you to say something that would mean you were anti-human rights of Muslims.What an irritation.He continued it so much it was obvious he was biased.
Only thing that you should have said in addition,Robert:"Now many Muslims and Leftists say I am responsible for the killings,so in the SAME WAY they shouid the Koran is responsible for inspiring Osama Ben Laden"
I know this ain't a_hadith, but this one always has a profound affect on me:
*** Tabari 1:299 ***
Scholars of the Nation of Mohammed say, "The tree which Allah forbade Adam and his spouse to eat was wheat."
I think that's cuz we discover that there were Islamic scholars even way back then. Also, in this passage we can glimpse the sweeping vista of the evolution from the Nation of Mohammed to the Nation of Islam, proprietor Rev. Louis Farrakhan (with a hat tip to the much celebrated Malcom X, who inspired so many).
*** 33:21 ***
The good Rev. Farrakhan accompanied Barack Hussein Obama's former spiritual mentor the good Rev. Jeremiah Wright on a goodwill trip to see Moammar in Libya. Everybody got along greate. A member of Wright's flock, Barack raised no objection to the the pro-terrorist trip.
But don't be so glum, things are looking up: the good Rev. Al Sharpton will soon bag a show on MSNBC. With input from Al, we should be able to get clarity on things. I got tired of having to see Al labor under the constraints of the hit news entertainment show The O'Reilly Factor. Yes, it's time for Al to spread his wings and fly.
What is really sick is that with all those Children killed, we see how CAIR is now worried about "Backlash" and wants the Police to patrol Mosques in the USA for that attack there never comes.
To hell with the non-muslims children that are dead because this guy did Allah's bidding and Muhammad a favour.
But here's CAIR canada showing their true colour to harp about " Tolerence" in canada and gloats over the Victory-Mosque in a Toronto public School. So now the islamists can promote murdering gays and jews right on tax funded property and practise their gender-aparteid as they also force females to wear hijabs IF they try to enter the Public property.
Both my parents served in WW2 and my Mother started in late 1939 after the other Fascists invaded Poland to declare war on the UK in sept 1939.
They didn't serve so that the newer islamofascist could walk right into canada dresed as civilians and set-up Mosques to plot in private to murder the same non-muslims that give the welfare and human rights.
here's CAIR's overt spit on the dead Children as they rejoice in the victory to spew hatred at Gays in a Public school Mosque.
************************************************************
(Ottawa, Canada – July 6, 2011) - The Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN), a national Muslim civil rights organization, today commended the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) for defending the religious accommodation of young Muslim students at the Valley Park Middle School. Valley Park Middle School allows Muslim students to remain at a school on Friday’s to perform congregational prayer. This accommodation has been practiced by this particular school for three years without complaint.
“We wholeheartedly PRAISE the TDSB for taking a principled stand to protect the religious accommodation of Muslim youngsters at Valley Park Middle School. The accommodation made is in line with Federal and Provincial human rights laws which make it clear that service providers, including public schools, must accommodate religious needs to the point of undue hardship. The law is crystal clear on this point and allows any Muslim student who wishes to observe the prayer to do so,” said CAIR-CAN Executive Director Ihsaan Gardee.
“This accommodation fulfills the objective of ensuring the educational requirements of students are not impeded by their desire to fulfill any religious observance and is essential to the emotional, spiritual, and academic well-being of Muslim students. Furthermore, this measure in no way imposes this accommodation on other groups or restricts their rights to make any request for religious accommodation that they deem appropriate.”
CAIR-CAN is a national, NON-PROFIT, grassroots organization striving to be a leading voice that enriches Canadian society through Muslim civic engagement and the promotion of human rights.

WOW, I highlighted key words because they should be a NON-Prophet ORG in Schools. But they also hide behind the Human Rights Code for religious Freedom to Practise Islam.
I would like to finally go public with my Human Rights Complaint.
I was forced to quit my employment with a Candian Bank
because since 2008 they forced employees to morally and Financially endorse a Public Event where a pro-hamas group is promoted and hamas as you know murder gays and uses females and children as Human Shields.
As a whistle Blower I have been financially punished sicne 2008 and had to quit after 26 years,I was attacked by the banks lawyers that lied about me as a malcontent and bad employee even though they employeed me for 25 years.
The Bank fears offending Muslims and fear terrosim acts on their building ever since the Toronto-18 Islamist jihadist were convicted for plotting to slaughter 10'000+ candians for Allah because canada opposed Afghan letting Al-Qaeda use it for Terrosim training camps. But it got worse, this public event also had acts of Child-abuse and quasi-pedophilia displays that they could not comdemn because Muhammed was a Pedophile too.
It became very ugly and the Bank spent more on the pro-hamas/pro-Child abuse law Firm to make my life hell, then they would have to just respect my Human Rights to not be forced to condone pedophilia and the murdering of gays in gaza.
BUT, I have a Letter form the Human Rights Commission that makes it clear that they will review my claim for unfair treatment by the Bank, BUT....I must make a Civil claim for harm under Employment Laws for the Bank that force me to condone murdering gays and acts of Pedophilia
in public since 2008.
I have alerted canadian media that I have the documents to show my complaint and the HRC's defence of hamas and pedophiles,but I await the final ruling for the damages when they review only the harm i suffered and not the lose of my job by a new policy to endorse pedophilia which i oppose for both personal and faith reasons.
I told people that I hoped to drive the Stake through the heart of the HRC wich is officially Useless when they get used by Muslims for Lawfare to silence and punish non-Shriah complaint companies,and yet a non-muslim has to be forced out of a 26 year employment because the Bank fears terrosim by Muslims if they condemn hamas and pedophilia.
So basically, if Muslims have this much power with only 500'000 of them in canada, wait until the pro-Shariah Muslims like Dr.Sheema Khan grow in numbers and finally gets her oppressive Shariah Courts to punisg female muslims and impose Shariah by-proxy.
If Robert gets linked to the Oslo murders for a shared view on fascists and supremests groups, then how the hell can the Bank get away with overtly posting their pro-hamas/pedophila policy on their Website and then the HRC denied me my Human Right to refuse to "Follow Orders" and endorse these Policies that harm Children and Homosexuals.
Barbara Hall loves to defend gays and Muslims, but now she fears Jihad and Terrorism by Muslims and has now bowed to Muhammed and islam rahter than defend gays and children.
I warn the bank's lawyers that I will build a website to expose their endorsemnet for pedophiles and murdering gays by the funding of events where it is promoted, they don't care because i saw how they have Offices in pedophile-friendly nation with Sex-Tourism for canadian men to go there and paid a child for sex.
For now i have resisted naming the Bank until my case is over, but i can tell you it's not the pro-hamas TD Trust bank that also is at the front of protests by jewish groups in canada. Check out the Youtube for TD trust hamas support
for QuAIA group,
Damn fine comment at NRO, traeh.
Pointing a mirror to show the true face of intolerance to the rest of the world is not hate you know. Hating, inciting people to murder, exhorting people to "lay in wait for the infidels until the sacred months have passed" is hate, commanding people to "smite the necks of the Kuffar and their fingertips off them." is hate, Anders Behring Breivik's appalling and murderous action is hatred. HOWEVER, what Robert Spencer is doing--- putting the spotlight on hate ideology-- is not hate!
Muhammed, should you carry your own "logic" to its conclusion, would you say that the Quran and Sunnah should also be held accountable for the crimes committed by Muslims inspired by Muhammed's example and the Islamic tradition's sometimes criminal and atavistic teachings?
Unlike the Quran and Sunnah, Mr. Spencer (in all his books or on this site) has NEVER advocated hatred or violence against anyone. Can you say the same for the Islamic teachings he casts a light upon?
Quite revealing, Buraq, how trolls like Mohammad make accusations they can't back up. In the mind of a troll saying something is so makes it so. That's all they got.
The above comment was meant for the troll Mohammed.
Wellington, thank you.
BTW
If you think I'm joking, I can show you the $100'000.00 plus costs I have incurred since 2008 just because the Banks Human Resources took a stand to deem me as no longer
fitting into the new Corporate Policy for "Tolerance" and Diversity.
What's pretty sad is that many of the Politicians that also want to look tolerant and Muslim-friendly are in photos at the event where a pro-hamas group is, and as the crimes against children keep being allowed under
"Tolerance" and a Human Right for sexual-preference by the HRC .
WOW, i never thought that pedophiles would be defended before the children are but this is canada and god help us that we offend the pedophiles or deny a hamas supporter the right to endorse murdering gays.
The only way out is to drop the Voting age to 5 and THEN the Politicians will get tough on pedophiles because they are the future and there are more non-muslims still
then pro-hamas muslims or Shariah law muslims that endorse Muhammed to rape a 9 year old.
Today i hear CAIr telling us that the true Quran is only read as a Arabic book.
OK, so all the English Qurans they give out are fake and since there are only about 180'000'000 poeple in the Muslims nations that read Aarabic, then that leaves about 1'400'000'000 Muslims in the camp of Apostates and not true Muslims.
Gotta love it when islam gets exposed and CAIR is too dumb to see that theirown articles expose islam and Muslims when they use Taqqiyah.
Mr. Spencer is the new Joe McCarthy. That sounds like a dire insult, but I actually mean that in the best way possible.
McCarthy told the truth about actual communists, who were KNOWN by senators and even presidents to be spies working for the USSR. How did they respond? Move them to high government posts, or allowed them to stay in their current positions. They continued to pretend the accusations were only "aleged", until the release of the Verona project (and it seems, even after). McCarthy was very popular with the public, but the media of the day (including the New York Times, surprise, surprise) libeled him, and called him a homosexual (Strange behavior for liberals actually). Instead of investigating the communist spies in their own goverment, they tried to investigate McCarthy, and hindered his common sense investigation of communists.
I've been reading Ann Coulter's book "Treason" that covers this, and I had no idea.
How dare Mr. Spencer be critical of islamists and fundamentalist islam.
During my time on the Left, why left-wing blogs were always very friendly and warm towards fundamentaist Christians...
Your intolerance, extremism and incitement must end you fiend!
*eye roll*
The arogant coward radio host (BBC)
has not even say goodbye to the brave Robert Spencer
Great counter arguments, Robert :-)
Yes, Fitna, I can see too that this monstrous crime in a sense provides publicity, debate and soul-searching by people. I can even see that that is why the Monster of Oslo committed this crime.
But it reminds me of comments that at the time shocked, angered and upset me from Muslims, especially converts, that stated that 9/11 had been beneficial for Islam! Because of the huge and ongoing publicity for Islam. And consequently the mushrooming interest in Islam, by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. And this was causing, Muslims said, great awareness and a deepening of their faith. And quite a lot of people, they said, converted to Islam.
Now I think that it's only good if Islam is studied well, perhaps some will see it's merits, but many, will see it's drawbacks in comparison to our modern democratic system too.
And about the blame game; When we consider that freedom of speech is hugely precious, key to our well-being, relative peace (because about conflicts can be dialoqued, otherwise only subservience-flight or fight remain as reactions) and progress (because criticism allows mankind to rectify it's mistakes), then ....
in no way can messengers be blamed except when they explicitly incite to violence. (And freedom of speech even encompasses faulty, even evil meant opinions). And then we can perhaps conclude that it really was the message that provoked the monster of Oslo, instead of the messengers.
and not the over-emphasizing of the Islam-problem-message should be blamed but the negligence in reaction, the constant appeasement, to it, by many citizens, but especially by the MSM and politicians should be blamed.
Now there were 76 victims of the Monster of Oslo, but before (and continuing still), there were many more victims of violence. The message of the counter-jihadists was clearly that Muslims, by inspiration of Islam, have made many victims. And the counter-jihadist wanted to help them. And prevent more victims of Muslims, by inspiration of Islam. Perhaps even the monster of Oslo argued that by sacrificing many people, he eventually could save many more.
But the MSM and many politicians and citizens chose to ignore it. And not because it was not credible. No, they did it out of prejudice. And it was they who in vast majority of dialoques, tried to shut them down. Either by ignoring them, excusing themselves from them, or by torpedoing them by constantly asserting that mere reporting and expressing disagreement was hate-speech and fear-mongering. Thus they promoted censorship, thus they ignored largely the plight of victims from Muslims, inspired by Islam.
And this they merely expanded in reaction to this huge crime, which arguably they themselves could be blamed for, due to their own negligence in reacting in a sufficient way to the horrific message from the counter-jihadist messengers.
Hey everyone,
Get a load of where ABB may be staying:
I hope those Left-wing Norwegian voters will be reminded of where their tax dollars will be going.
Norway's penal code offers a maximum sentence of 21 years.
So my question is - will that be long enough...
... to earn a post-doctoral degree?
Anyway, once his internet privileges are restored, I hope that he'll be barred from visiting this website... you know, where the real dangerous people like us hang out.
I see there are some unscholarly slaves-of-marduk2 here. You abds should explain why there would be sex in "heaven."
http://www.hinduunity.org/articles/islamexposed/xratedparadise.html
The terror manual, "recitations" (quran) from the perverse reaches of muhammad's (pig crap be upon him) sick mind, is a mass of contradictions. Mohammadan deities can err.
The MSM and many politicians and citizens have been seen to practice moral equivalence a lot. As I see it, there were in their view extremist on both sides; among Muslims, as among all other groups, and so also among non-Muslims opposed to Islam.
But they equated almost absolutely non-violent, thoroughly democratic opponents of Islam with adherents to really violent oppressing holy texts, interpretations thereof and practitioners thereof. Unjustly Whereas they only should have compared only Timothy McVeigh with those Islamic violent preachers and warriors.
And now they have this scheme reinforced with Anders Breyvik, yes, there ARE violent extremists at BOTH sides, but it is not the vast majority of the group of counter-jihadists that are extremists on the non-Muslim side, leftists claim them to be. The extremists there are the ones like Anders Breyvik.
And it perhaps it is now time to use all the leftist excuses for Muslims who commit or promote or condone violence and oppression, and their moral equivalences, for throwing them back at them, in the reverse manner.
Or perhaps we can start our own conspiracy-theory about how somehow it was the Islamic Ummah who organised the whole crime (like the truthers ascribe 9/11 to the US government). Perhaps we can paint Anders Breyvik as an Islamic agent, just as Osama Bin Laden was painted as a CIA-spy.
My point it is that Leftists have almost always measured Westerners and Muslims by different standards. But now we can say that, inherently there is no more nobility in Westerners than in Muslims.
But that then means that there is no "Noblesse Oblige" (which is what the Leftists perhaps subconsciously described to Westerners) and that both Westerners and Muslims should be measured by the same standards.
I love it when interviewers use the authoritative tone as if they are talking to a naughty schoolboy who should know better.
No wonder Robert ripped him a new one !
Anyway he was talking to the BBC which as we all know is completely unbiased, rational and fair (not).
As a Nationalist I suppose I am now a potential mass murderer alongside all you anti-Jihadis so even if we disagree on a lot of things, according to the MSM we all share this characteristic.
As we all know, Muslim immigration, terrorism, defiance of the rule of law, setting up parallel societies, homophobia, anti-semitism, sexism and racism are perfectly acceptable to the ruling elites.
However to complain about it is a thought crime and if you write rationally about it that is even worse - particularly if your books sell a lot and you are influencing people.
Can't have that can we !
It might upset the Muslims who will then threaten to blow up even more Kuffar, or riot or kill or ..........
This guy Brievik is a madman, however a lot of what he says is actually true. But this does not excuse the actions that he took as it makes him as bad as any Muslim terrorist.
Anyway it came as no suprise to me when they started in on the Nationalists and anti-Jihadis it would have suprised me if they had not.
I suppose that all the Nationalist parties will be receiving lots of money from the governments to open up a "dialogue". Just like the Muslims got after they blew up the buses and trains in London.
Funny old world.
It always amazes me how deep these BBC-boyz are in the Islamo-pocket, they all sound like clones of Nicky Reilly. But Spencer has a mouth and knows his stuff; and that helps.
Tommy Robinson(also) did a brilliant job and came out in front, but he did miss a powerful point. Paxman kept asking him what he disagreed with in the Norwiegian lunatics manifesto and Tommy should have told him that the manifesto quoted Churchill, Gandhi, Orwell, Jefferson, John Locke, Edmund Burke, Bernard Shaw, Mark Twain, and the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
And then there is 'the catcher in the rye', wasn't that a favorite among deranged killers in the past? How come nobody ever holds that author responsible for murder?
The Killer is mad, of course.
But why?
Turns out that Breivik was in fact raised by ”a moderate cultural Marxist and feminist”:
Breivik describes himself as a disaffected product of the Norwegian liberal political elite, furious at the way sexual instability has affected his own life. His father was a diplomat, stationed first in London and then in Paris. His parents divorced when he was a year old, after which his feminist mother married a Norwegian army captain, and his father wed a fellow diplomat who Breivik calls a “moderate cultural Marxist and feminist.”
Though he describes his stepfather as somewhat conservative, he nevertheless complains of a “super-liberal, matriarchal upbringing,” which he says has “contributed to feminise me to a certain degree.”
Well, well, well.
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/hes_mad_of_course/
Breivik quoted names of hundreds of source books and sites, many hundreds. Anyone who read his manifesto, would learn much!
One may as well blame Tennyson, and Lao Tzu, as in this excerpt:
Anders writes, "The selfless struggle of an increasing number of Europeans has renewed my hope that there is yet great good left in Europe. (Yet did that admission, stop him from his need to execute his diabolic plan?) We can depart without fear that darkness will prevail in our absence.
"If you are not afraid of dieing, there is nothing you cannot achieve" attributed to Lao Tzu
Anders again, "Conquer your fear like your brothers and sisters have done in the past, and we will re-conquer Europe from the grasp of our disloyal, corrupt, and suicidal cultural Marxists/multicultural elites."
"There is no glory like for those who save their country." attributed to Alfred Lord Tennyson
(So pretty clear here, MSM missed a really direct quote here of Anders, setting him up as the hero of his country, in his mind! Where are the highly prejusdiced MSM with this one?)
Anders proceeds to justify his rational, and invoke more power than just he himself with: "We fight, for the free indigenous peoples of Europe, for those not yet born and for the memory and wishes of our forefathers, our martyrs. We fight to preserve our culture, our identity, our country and for Christendom...........and will stand up against an oppresive Marxist tyrant(who would that be?). ......etc., including Anders citing "the succes of winning the Battle of Vienna on September 11, 1683: (notice 9-11), (so is this where muslims should be blamed, or maybe Polands J. Sobieski?, by MSM's pure illogic!)
And he further quotes from George Bernard Shaw, on ...Revolution......(So where are the useless and decadent MSM and all the highly prejudiced leftards over that, and countless more such opportunities of freaky, weird, blame of theirs, that is just as illogical as Anders?) Anders is lucid, but his logic is too often missing vital perspective, and realities.
It reminds one of a basic training truism for a pilot, if you try to fit the patterns on the ground to your map, you will surely get lost by imagining/wishing where you are not, you must use your map to find the patterns on the ground, carefully, to not get lost.
It also, in Anders auto-biographical portion, makes reference clearly to his very personal experiences with muslim gangs in Oslo, during his childhood teenage years. One muslim who was a friend, and many who were raping and beating up type gangs, whom called Norwegians "potatoe heads" and would only attack "white Norwegian women whores", but would "leave muslim women alone" according to him. And so much more...
And where are the prejudiced MSM or any leftards in lockstep agenda, over the full facts of reporting, of what really fully was going on with Anders, the true whys ansered and exposed, where are the criminally irresponsible media and why not are they reporting the full truths????
And why does not the muslims take responsibility for the hate filled actons of youthful gangs of muslime all over, including, for example in Tafir Square of Egypt, with Lara? Why
No, Robert is blameless, guiltless, and a supreme hero, who exposes wrongs of isam's day to day hate filled barbaric criminal behavior, around the world, and educates the fundamental principles of a hate filled ideology of total wrong beliefs of islam, a concept so wrong and crazy, it makes Anders look like a sane kindergartner, no matter his 100% wrong conclusions and criminal behavior!
And a growing legion of Roberts, on the global web, often ex-muslims, are also in each's own style, showing and exposing the irresponsible, barbaric, pure hate-filled criminal nature of islam! This legion of true heroes is showing that islam is the very exact opposite of the religion of peace!
So if anyone else than Anders himself, is to blame, it first goes to to the criminal behavior of the muslim youth gangs, who refused to assimilate, which he mentioned, that he claims he witnessed and had to deal with, in his teen formative years, in Oslo! And that leads directly back to islam, period.
And on top of this, he had friends, of sorts, a broken and complicated family, implication of a cool father, who quit talking to him at 16, and who was a Norwegian diplomat. So go figure.
Why can't someone produce a few good professional MSM non-leftards, who are not anti everything that is good in life, including Libertad?
Interesting, sheik, I just noticed we were on similar, and complementary tracks in our posts. Thanks, nice work.
Ole H, I really liked both posts, thanks for them both, and wish I'd known years ago, the items on Nietzsche and M. Luther. With the grist of the Luther knowledge I might have been able to verbally slap back at a forgotten distant older woman cousin relative , who isulted me religiously, darn. It could have made my deceased father roll with laughter, had I known.
Sadly, what I had learned in my college youth, was cleansed of each's negatives, religiously, I think, or I somehow missed it, back in the day.
@APF: Thank you for the link to American Spectator, I had not have the fortune to know there is a site lik AS until now, I enjoy the reading there, thanks 8)
I can expect Daisy Khan to go to Norway and demand the right to build a Mosque on the island to teach Tolerance and show that Muslims are peaceful and islam had nothing to do with the dweath.
Of course when the people oppose it they will be called racists and Islamophobes.
Watch how fast Muslims play the victim and spew lies on TV about "backlash", and how pathetic that most of the dead are children and all we hear is how Muslim are releived it wasn't Jihad for Allah.
So I guess the deaths are OK by Allah and Muhammed because this guy still ends up killing for islam with 92 less infidels on Earth for Islam to slaughter.
Here's a song by Randy Travis which touches on the essence of the man Robert Spencer. . . http://m.youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8qiBjtl4MLc&v=8qiBjtl4MLc&gl=US
. .IMO
The shooter also quotes Locke, Jefferson, Gandhi, Churchill, Adam Smith, George Bernard Shaw, and even Shakespeare, to name only a few.
I'm sure if I look long enough, I'll find a quote from Regis Philbin too.
Great performance by Spencer in the interview. As someone said above, 'take no prisoners'-style, which is what it required.
Flipping Youtube URLs, they've pickled that link. .darn it, just Google 'Randy Travis, Point of Light', and you'll get it.
The msm will continue the smear.
I just hope that people will do some research for themselves and visit Jihad Watch and see for themselves what is posted here.
Wow! That Julien Marshall just would not stop trying to bait Spencer into admitting some sort of guilt - he progessively became more desperate as the questioning dragged. Awesome work as usual by Robert for not giving a micron on his stance.
Good Beatles analogy. Good job Robert. T'was another Hard Days Night for the BBC, the propganda wing for Islamic Jihad in Britain
I have been reading and posting on JW almost daily since time began...Never, not once, has Robert or any writer advocated any kind of violence, or hatred...In fact comments that advocate or suggest violence are deleted...JW has in the past asked readers to report any posts suggesting violence toward Mahoundians or any one else...Spencer is continuously attacked by expert psychopaths with filthy agendas...And not all of them are Mahoundians...All this is a pain, but is actually a plus...It shows desperation, it shows Spencer is having an impact, the more they demonize him the more relevant and important he becomes...because of the linkage more people know his name than ever before...Some people will castigate him, but most will see through the deception, and may become JW regulars...
"Anyway, once his internet privileges are restored, I hope that he'll be barred from visiting this website... you know, where the real dangerous people like us hang out."
Why? All his empirical evidence are basicly correct, only the conclusion is wrong.
Everybody can make an honest mistake. ;-)
It took me a while to figure this Norway thing out but I believe one has to go back to 1859 to find a parrallel to the Norway killer. This killer's actions were clearly insane as we all can agree. However, as in the 1859 incident, his core reasoning was/is quite reasonable. The Islamization of Europe is a real threat. This makes the Norway killer different from Communists, Muslims,Starkweather, Unabombers, Texas Tower shooters, Manson, et al.........who this Norwegian is, is John Brown at Harpers Ferry in 1859, i.e., an insane human with the belief that slavery was wrong. And most historians consider Brown's actions important regarding the coming civil war. No one can argue that slavery was wrong and no reasonable person can deny the threat Islam poses today. The question is when will internal warfare break out in Europe? It only took two years after Harpers Ferry and it may take another 20 years in Europe. But it will come.
Repeating this comment here for good measure:
Robert, please do not go defensive because of this attack on you by the MSM and others. You have done nothing wrong. By pointing out the vileness of koran and the muslim prophet you are doing a service to humanity. Please continue your great work.
We have a saying in my mother tongue, the hour before dawn is the darkest hour. Maybe dawn is just around the corner. Don't lose heart. It is because you and your website are so successful in showing up islam for what it is that there is so much MSM bile directed towards you.
I, as did so many others, had predicted that the MSM must be smacking their lips and rubbing their hands in glee as soon as news of the Norwegian massacre came out. They will work on this tragedy for months and get maximum mileage out of it. Just ignore it.
God bless and take care of yourself.
And Robert, I think I speak for many here when I say that we stand behind you, we are grateful for your sacrifice and your commitment to truth, and we thank you for being who you are: A strong, determined defender of human rights, and a true American patriot.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Agree with you 100%
Thanks for putting it so lucidly.
muslims murdered 80 million hindus in india and continue their genocide of hindus in pakistan, bangladesh and kashmir BASED ON THE KORAN, BUKHARI'S HADITH and MUHAMMAD's actions.
why don't you try to ban the koran?
it incites acts of violence against non-muslims.
Robert spencer has never incited violence against muslims. He is rightly critical of the fascist, totalitarian ideology of islam.
i challenge you to read ali sina's understanding muhammad. if you can DISPROVE that muhammad was a rapist, pedophile, assassin, murderer and thief, then you get a $50,000 reward.
And the Koran is the source of the murders of 300 million and perhaps just as many Muslims. And as you want to live under Sharia law so much, off to Iran or Pakistan you go, parasitical barbarian.
To blame Robert Spencer for the actions of a neo-Nazis in Norway is like blaming Winston Churchill for the actions of Adolph Hitler in WWII. Churchill was a barometer who predicted the rise of Nazism and the subsequent ascent of Communism. Likewise, Spencer is a political and social weather-vane who continues to warn the world of the impending Islamic storm. Mr. Spencer should be lauded not lashed for his insights.
It seems that the BBC interviewer and others like him pick their own targets out of many others they could have picked to serve their own agenda. This BBC interviewer is definitely not the worst of them. I believe more and more people will in fact look up Robert Spencer to discover who he is: a fearless, staunch defender of freedom and equality for all.
"Bravo Jihad Watch! The most important website on the 'net!
Wilders, Geller, and Spencer - Heroes all."
Sad little person living in a sad little world.
I actually feel sorry for you.
Grow up you pathetic person. I am British.
"Why? All his empirical evidence are basicly correct, only the conclusion is wrong.

Posted on Jihadwatch.
This is the sort of filth and hate I am talking about. I understand that many of the people that post here feel frustrated by the fact that they are supposedly condemned in a book (Quran) that they believe was not actually divine inspiration. Boohoo. That must be tough to live with. Oh yeh, and every person from Morocco to Indonesia as well as the Muslims in the US, Europe (over a billion people) would want to see you tortured, murdered, your wealth taken etc. because its in our good book...
That is the little World you have created for yourselves, you can live in it if you want, not my problem. I haven't left a comment here in maybe a couple of years, never visit, but I'm sure you guys have had a lot of fun commenting on the same articles again, and again, and again. Every year, month, week is the same.
But that doesn't bother me, I am too busy living my own life. What does bother me is the hate and prejudice that is so common within this website. And I'm not simply talking about the comments, they are there for everyone to see. Robert Spencer and others who contribute to this website (who happen to be parroting the same line for God knows how many years) need to appreciate that peddling unbalanced views, presenting a distorted view and continuously lambasting Muslims - regardless of their political viewpoint, nationality, and concentrating on the fact that they are simply 'Muslim' is infact very harmful for promoting understanding.
All I would like is for Robert Spencer to take some responsibility.
Have to admit it was funny watching Mr Spencer backtrack and for once suggest there are Muslims that are peaceful and law-abiding, rotfl.
Must really hurt to admit that.
Come on people. There really ARE Muslims that are peaceful and law-abiding.
"All I would like is for Robert Spencer to take some responsibility."
Yeah, and all of us kaffirs would like you pereptuators of islam to take some responsibility for the 1400 years of ignroance, murder and oppression created by your vile ideology and "ideal man."
Hi Alarmed Pig Farmer,
Do you know a site online to read Tabari? Or do you have your own copy?
What goes on again and again and again and again is Muslims killing and maiming in the name of their religion, some 17,000 documented cases just since 9/11. And no one here at JW thinks every Muslim from Morocco to Indonesia, blah, blah, blah wants to himself participate in the heinous actions sanctioned by the Koran and the sick founder of Islam, but so many here know that the Islamic theological blueprint, unlike any other religion's blueprint, does call for war to be made upon the unbeliever until all the world is under Islam's sway. Lots of folks here also know that Islam tolerates no criticism and thus is directly in opposition to the kind of freedom expressed by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Criticize Islam or Mohammed and millions of Muslims go postal, even over innocuous stuff like Danish cartoons.
The more I study Islam the more I'm turned off by it. And the more I study the life of Mohammed the more I understand why Dante put him in Hell with his insides being eaten out.
Islam is a burden to mankind. One knows this or should know it. You don't. But then you're a Muslim and, while not all Muslims are evil, all Muslims are confused.
BTW, Robert Spencer on many occasions over the years has mentioned that he thinks many Muslims lead essentially moral and peaceful lives. There was no backtracking by him whatsoever. You're just as clueless here as you are pretty much across the board. Now, get lost for a couple of years again, learn nothing in that time and then come back here and post more drivel and confirm to all that you're determined to go through your whole life never figuring out how things really work. Done here.
To ala-sux, hi Í'v enjoyed reading your posts for several years (also a fellow canucker). I read your story about you being harrassed out of your job and I really feel for you (I got harrassed out of a provincial gov job for supporting the union but that's not really why I replied to you.
Have you thought about contacting Ezra Levant with your story? I'm sure you know the HRC gave him much grief, he might be able to offer some advice. I haven't read his book about his experience with them, it's called "Shakedown" I but plan to. I hope you see this message. Take care and hope you get this resolved in your favour. Let us know what happens.
We stand strong for you Mr. Spencer and for what you are doing in publishing JIHAD WATCH... May I suggest your view the following link and if you wish, please feel free to re-copy it and use it according to your Editorial skills wish... Permission is given by me.... and apostle1.com
+Metropolitan Joseph Thaddeus (Stanford) - American Orthodox Church and the North American Orthodox Church...
Our DAILY NEWS SECTION is also linked from our main web site page of: www.apostle1.com as the above link will take you to the article of main concern regarding you, Jihad Watch and the Oslo murders from which you were indeed wrongly implicated by NBC in such a horrendous manner...

Take some responsibility.
..................................
All the material sourced in the Breivik's manifesto were *quotes from the Qur'an*.
Anders Breivik was *in no sense any sort of anti-Jihadist*. He made it clear in his manifesto that he was willing to ally with the very worst Jihadists—Al-Qaida, Al-Shebab, and the Mullahs of Iran—in order to *kill his fellow Europeans*.
He was willing to kill children—even more children, I suppose—and cut off his own penis in order to gain the Jihadists' trust.
He also noted how a blond, blue-eyed European like himself would seem less suspicious than a person of Middle Eastern appearance in *waging Jihad*.
So—Breivik, besides being a vicious mass-murderer, was willing to both ally with Jihadists and to *wage Jihad himself* in order to realize his goal of remaking Europe.
Doesn't exactly sound like an "anti-Jihadist" to me...
I particularly liked the part where RS says of his message to the public:
"... if some nut takes it wrong, some nut takes it wrong. He could do that to you too."
Very succinct.

Spencer, Atlas Shrugs, etc, are no more to blame, or are culpable for, what happened in Norway, then Nietzsche is for Nazi Germany. The National Socialists may well have referred to Nietzsche and quoted him, but they misused and abused his writings, and did not take heed to what he *actually* said. The Nazis who claimed inspiration or sustenance from Nietzsche merely read what they wanted to read, in his writings. Nietzsche, for example, hated anti-Semites.
The same is happening here. How offensive and vulgar that the leftist/liberal media - who would have absolute hegemony over the broadcast media, if not for Murdoch (who they were in the process of smearing, prior to this horrific event) - are manipulating the news to serve their agenda.
Shame on them.
