My regular weekly segment on the Michael Coren Show resumes this week with a discussion of the brouhaha over people who dare to examine early Islamic history honestly, and the lack of a brouhaha over people who are supposedly "moderate" or supposedly "Islamic scholars" who appeared at the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention.
Michael Coren and Robert Spencer on Islam's origins and dalliances with Hamas
Tom Holland is in shock. He isn't used to being threatened by Muslims or the left which he supports. The tragedy is that he and other writers/documentary producers will now think twice about criticising Muslims or, in Hollands case, relating to us the facts about Islam as revealed after a scholarly investigation. Holland says he is sorry he took on the challenge of the Channel 4 documentary which would indicate that he probably will never be involved in any critical exploration of Islam again which is what the whining Muslims want to hear and the aim of their violent reaction.
Well done to Robert Spencer and Michael Coren:
-you are spot on about Islamic threats to Tom Holland; and about
the devious nature of the Islamic Council of North America.
I hope that friends of 'Jihadwatch' can publicise this video clip.
I thoroughly enjoy these Thursday interiews, Robert. Pass along our appreciation to Michael.
I too am really enjoying these segments. What a refreshing change to actually hear an intelligent discussion on television.
It would be great if J/W posted the documentary by Tom Holland.
Tommo
the thing to do is to write to him and *thank* him for making the doco.
Tell him that he is now in honorable company - Robert Redeker, Magdi Cristiano Allam, Oriana Fallaci, Theo Van Gogh, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Taslima Nasreen, Kurt Westergaard, Lars Vilks, just to name a few - and tell him the story from the Hadith, about Asma bint Marwan.
Tell him that he is now faced with the opportunity to be a brave man. Even if he hides for the rest of his life, he can't alter what he's done, and he will be in danger anyway; so he may as well *own* what he's done, and proceed to take basic precautions...and NOT shut up.
Send him a copy of this piece by Conor Cruise O' Brien
And send him this:

The Poet Versus the Prophet
On standing up to totalitarian Islam
It contains a magnificent story about the poet Allen Ginsberg, and what he said to a Muslim cabbie in New York, when the Muslim informed Ginsberg that he (the Muslim) was in favour of the fatwa upon Salman Rushdie.
"...Soon after news of the fatwa broke, Ginsberg and his assistant climbed into the back seat of a taxi in Manhattan. After a glance at the cab driver’s name, Ginsberg politely inquired if he was a Muslim. When the cabbie replied that he was, Ginsberg asked him what he thought about the death sentence on Rushdie. The cabbie answered that he thought that Rushdie’s book was disrespectful of Islam, and that the Ayatollah had every right to do what he had done. At this point, according to his assistant, Ginsberg, one of the gentlest men ever to walk the planet, flew into a rage, screaming at the cabbie as he continued to drive, “Then I shit on your religion! Do you hear me? I shit on Islam! I shit on Muhammad! Do you hear? I shit on Muhammad!” Ginsberg demanded that the cabbie pull over. The cabbie complied, and, without paying the fare, Ginsberg and his assistant climbed out. He was still screaming at the cabbie as the car drove off...".
"...Since 2001, many Americans have asked how they can contribute in a direct way to the war against totalitarian Islam. Now we have an answer. If it’s legal, and likely to offend the radicals, just do it.
"That seems straightforward enough.
"But how many of us will have the nerve to stand up to a million or so Muslim dirtbags, and to scores of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, of their fellow travelers and psychic enablers, and say in unison, “You want to kill the Enlightenment, you’re going to have to come through me.”"

Excellent interview, though Robert Spencer was sometimes a tad hard to hear with that sound system. If he slows his speech very slightly and enunciates slightly more, it would compensate for the cloudy sound system.
