Diocese of Worcester canceled Robert Spencer talk at insistence of self-proclaimed "friend and supporter" of convicted jihad terrorist Tarek Mehanna

An organization called Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT) does research on Islamic supremacists and what they describe as “false moderates” – mostly in New England, where they are based.

Their president, Charles Jacobs, sent me information about Abdul Cader Asmal, who wrote a libelous and hysterical screed to the diocese of Worcester, Massachusetts demanding that they cancel my appearance at a Catholic Men's Conference coming up this March 16. I posted it in full here. Asmal turns out to be a self-proclaimed friend and supporter of a convicted jihad terrorist, Tarek Mehanna, who is currently serving 17½ years in federal prison for aiding Al Qaeda.

Boston Globe reporter Lisa Wangsness went to Asmal for comment on my appearance and, according to reports I received, exhorted him and others to contact the diocese and demand that my appearance be canceled. Asmal claimed in his diatribe to the diocese that I was a "hatemonger" -- yet he openly proclaims his friendship with and support for a convicted jihad terrorist.

Why is Wangsness going to a friend of a convicted jihad terrorist for comment? Here's an insight into clue her biases: Jacobs also told me that when Mehanna was arrested, Jacobs and his Director of Research sat with Wangness for over two hours, providing her with information about Mehanna’s associates and friends in the Boston area. The information they gave her included the following:

1. That several Islamic leaders in Massachusetts were actively supporting Tarek Mehanna. Among those mentioned specifically to Wangness were the leadership of the ISBCC/MAS (the Boston mosque) and Abdul Cader Asmal – the very people Wangness recruited to silence me.
2. The ISBCC/MAS leadership has long-standing ties to Islamic supremaciism and jihad terrorism.
3. The ISBCC has been funded by Saudi and other Gulf sources, some with jihad terror connections.
4. The ISBCC/MAS is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood in the Boston area.

How much of this did Wangsness follow up on, investigate, and publish? Absolutely none of it. And then she went to Abdul Cader Asmal and cast him in the role of the wounded "moderate" outraged by my "Islamophobia."

The mainstream media isn't interested in truth, but only in propaganda, and has allied itself with the enemies of the United States. Lisa Wangsness is just the latest among many, many, many examples of this.

And meanwhile, Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester has not even had the courtesy to respond to my requests for a meeting. Nor has any diocesan official. Must not offend the friends of jihad terrorists, doncha know.

She should have to register as a foreign agent, since her views are foreign to anything resembling decency...She is not 'reporting' anything, it's the dark matter of her dimmed mind creating fiction, and presenting it as real...Sort of like Rasool Obama and his forged birth certificate...Making stuff up and presenting it as real, is fraud...
It pains me to say this because she is such a sweet little girl, but Lisa is a fraud...

The great unspeakable taboo of our age =

An honest, accurate, unvarnished assessment of Muhammad's behaviour and the content of Islam's canonical texts.

Abdul Cader Asmal, who wrote a libelous and hysterical screed to the diocese of Worcester, Massachusetts demanding that they cancel my appearance at a Catholic Men's Conference coming up this March 14

Figures.

This cancellation will be used as a "precedent" to attempt to silence Mr. Spencer in other locations too.

She seems to be interested in topics relating to religion and faith.

I wonder what religious tradition she was brought up in.

Bishop Robert McManus should contact Spencer so he can determine first-hand the veracity of the rumors that were brought to his attention. That only seems fair for a fellow Catholic.

Boston Globe Journaillie Lisa Wangsness in bed with Islamic terrorists...

Looking at the picture I had to laugh...Those Islamic terrorists have lousy taste in women...

I think we have to go a little easier on this poor unfortunate girl Lisa...Looking at her picture I can see the loneliness, the despair, the bitterness of a life gone astray...The startling fact is, she appears to have a crush on Spencer...I have seen it before...Negative attention is better than no attention...No matter how you cut it, she was showering Spencer with attention, with the expectation of getting attention back...She is begging, 'please look at me, please look at me'...The poor girl is desperate, and will do most anything to get Spencer's attention...I had the attention of a girl like that once, she dumped about a hundred little frogs in my car to get my attention...She got it, but I had to deal with a lot of frogs first...A carload of frogs is what Robert is actually dealing with...It took me two weeks to find them all...

duh_swami, interesting theory. It also be she is a true believer in her cause, whatever it might be.

The Wangs Ness monster? I think she looks a little like Nathan Lean with a wig...

It also be she is a true believer in her cause...

I don't doubt that, but it does not stop her from having a crush on that cute guy Robert...Crushes happen randomly, you never know when one will land on you...I think Lisa may be smitten, but she can still have her causes...whatever they are...

Dark cannot stand with Light. PC/MC induced blindness at its finest.

Dear Bishop McManus,

Why can't a Catholic layman like Robert Spencer get an interview with you?

You might learn something crucial to help Catholics persecuted in Islamic-majority countries.

Would that be so bad?

Sympathy to the perpetrators is death to their victims.

The church has a prophetic role to denounce evil. Jihad is evil.

@mortimer-

I find myself surprised that under the circumstances, diocesan officials have refused to even respond to Robert's request for a meeting. While I am not Catholic, and have my differences with the Church of Rome, I've generally considered Catholic clergy in the USA to be fair dinkum folk (a few miscreants notwithstanding).

I am questioning whether I may have misplaced my confidence.

When the Catholic Church lacks courage, as here, it loses a great deal of its strength and authority. This isn't just bad for Catholics but for a much larger audience.

Please don't upset Bishop McManus--he can't be bothered with all this. There isn't a muslim majority (yet) in his diocese, no struggles with islamic sharia, no Christians persecuted on his turf. Besides, he has imams speaking in his churches, explaining to him and his happy flock that islam is a Religion of Peace (TM) and that they're all just "partners in faith" after all. And it's a lot easier and more convenient for the good bishop to believe what they tell him--he sleeps better with his illusions. And he rejects people like Spencer--for just REPORTING what muslims are doing to Christians in those places where they can. Is he going to get his hands dirty--risk those "good relations" with his local muslims--to seek the truth and speak up for his fellow Christians? Not a chance!

Hey, the good bishop is safe, dry and warm and all's well in the Diocese of Worcester. It's all blue skies, calm seas and smooth sailing. Please don't rock his boat with reality...

Because he is not politically correct. That is why.
M

It still baffles me that this scandal doesn't merit the same contempt for the "other" scandals facing diocesan chanceries.
And, having Charles Jacobs engaged is dynamic. I could never stand tall enough to even applaud him sufficiently.
I've mentioned to him what I "don't witness" in dioceses and parishes; pastoral letters concerning conditions of Christians and Jews.
He has the most ecumenical approach to this matter. (One mig say his approach is more justifiably 'catholic' than (in this case) Bishp McManus is 'Catholic'. And has the findings and - on the ground experience - to close the cases.
But, who's listening?

Be it noted that all of this is taking place on the seventh anniversary of the infamous "Cartoon Jihad," in which Muslims wordwide demonstrated, rioted, and murdered in protest over the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten's publication of a dozen (very mild) caricatures of the Pirate Muhammad. In doing so, they proved the validity of the strongest of them: Kurt Westergaard's drawing of a scowling Muhammad wearing a turban in the shape of an old-timey anarchist bomb, which showed the true face of Islam: hostile, short-fused, and potentially deadly.

"The Wangs Ness monster? I think she looks a little like Nathan Lean with a wig..."

oh my gosh, that is hysterical, George!!!!!!

a guy goes to muslim owned clothing store..
I want a bomber jacket and he was thrown out!!!
M

In other words ...

the TRUTH about islam and company has been cancelled!

Wow the Boston Globe and it's whiner-in-chief *Wangsless* will now forever be known as Truthophobe's!

Hilarious! ...according to Wiki, the Boston Globe has won 21 pulitizer prizes. Well, I have a more fitting prize for Boston and that's Dhimmi of the Year ..or better yet, Dangerous Dhimmi of the Year! Hey, a new category ...

And going forward I don't expect to find anything of substance or Truth from this news venue. It's become just another islamic tool!

Hey thank you for bringing us the Truth about islam and company, Robert! ...a refreshing change, I might add, given this current and sad turn of events.

Lisa, how does it feel sleeping with the enemy? Slut!

Calling Wangsless *evil* is easy and oh-so obvious, but calling her a slut really drives the point home.

Oops, I spelled her last name wrong ...WangsLESS. Guess I'm sorta psyched out by her name. Hey, if I'm going to spell it wrong then I should go all out:

*FANGSLESS* is more fitting! ...'cause she doesn't have any fangs; especially when it comes to fighting for the Truth. Yea, she'll seek out and eat up filthy lies instead.

Hi Robert
You better check this as it seems that this so called Dr. Abdul Cader Asmal lost his medical license in 2011
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:_g5qXlMKRtIJ:www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/borim/press-20111221.doc+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgr8BYDa1fvWDhjza5Z7QkO5W-Kfd2_zKr-TpV4SCG1YTpW_EF1tZKTPJ8ThHjiPEpQVqOKKpM_5TMDCNnO-PhSffXqX3-Ov2taWwdQeLl1CvxUzMToQM4SNb41mpB5gRlVgaeF&sig=AHIEtbS1ucrQws4T2LhbY0pKl4n3biDDXw

Why is not surprising that these are shady characters so it seems that Ms Wangsless' source is a doctor who lost his license and I wonder why

I am assuming that this Charles Jacobs is the same man who did so much for the slaves in Sudan. Am I right?

Why can't these people just read the Koran before deciding who to listen to? Why do these liberals have to force themselves to be so ignorant? I recommend to them reading Infidel's guide to Koran or Qu'ran (however that trash is spelled)What do you think?

Your query, Sam, about just reading the Koran is a very sensible one, but Western dhimmis (hell, they're everywhere) who foolishly continue their efforts to exculpate Islam will stupidly, insouciantly, ignorantly and annoyingly time and time again reply by pointing out that there are also violent and disturbing paasages in the Bible, all the while being utterly clueless that the Koran is always prescriptive while the Bible is often merely descriptive.

These idiots (and the better educated they are the more they tend to think idiotically, this in itself being sound reason to give a sensible person pause about what has happened to the Western educational system, but I digress) never take the time to reflect upon the fact that Methodist suicide bombers are kinda' scarce, that Jewish rabbis encouraging the stoning of adultresses is not an everyday event and that Baptists and Catholics threatening death for criticizing or mocking their religion are not to be found in most every town in America.

Meanwhile, almost every religious terrorist act in the world is committed by one group of believers whose name begins with "M" and whose religion begins with "I." Pretty damn dumb world, no? Hope you and yours are doing well, Sam.

"Looking at the picture I had to laugh...Those Islamic terrorists have lousy taste in women..."

Taste?

We are talking about people who sell their sexually abused sheep to the next village. I don't think taste has anything to do with it.

Lets say they're "flexible".....

'Poor taste' means, 'any old port in a storm'...
akin to 'desperation'...that's personal, not business...Don't forget, the horny little devils use those sheep before they sell them...But the used sheep business 'is' thriving in Islam lands...almost every market place has an Abu's Used Sheep Emporium...Flexibility comes in when you don't necessarily have to buy a used sheep, you can rent one by the hour...

C'mon guys, we all know that for muslims GOATS are the best piece of "tail" around - literally.
