Toward the end of my recent speaking tour of Australia, I did three short interviews with Sheik Yermami and Vlad Tepes. Here is the first.

Gee, Sheik, it's along way from the "Terminator" days, isn't it?
Classical Arabic isn't actually very much different than normal Arabic, it's just more "straightforward". And obviously Qur'anic Arabic has accent marks whereas normal Arabic doesn't have accent marks, they are simply "implied".
Achmed Syndrome:
Curiously, Robert, that bit of the interview about the "gentle, kind" Muslim who even has Christmas dinner, etc., etc., and how that is the reasoning used by apologists to excuse Islam and Islamism seems eerily similar to the nice, young (though hygienically challenged)
OWS boy someone's daughter brought home, who seemed harmless enough, yet later, also seemed hell-bent on hanging all the bankers.

Yes, and just as a curious side-note: the accent-like neumes of early Gregorian chant "implied" melismatic singing. The misreading of and wild variations between interpretations, by necessity, led to our traditional, 5 line, 4 space staff (much later, expanded to include bass clef for the newly invented harpsichord and clavichord).
After that, the invention of polyphony and harmony were born and accounted for with the notion of "key" and tonality.

What does all this have to do with Spencer's excellent interview?
Nothing.
Cheers!
Excellent interview. Interviews conducted by anti-Jihadists are always the most informative.
One somewhat unsettling thing though: At both 5:10 and 11:24, a mysterious orb becomes visible hovering over Robert’s left shoulder. I hope it wasn’t Allah.

Please don't be alarmed. It was just a hot-air balloon with Pamela, Raymond, Fawstin and David Horowitz checking on Spencer during the interview.
