Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

EXPOSED: Aslan Media Editor-In-Chief Nathan Lean is “Garibaldi” of hate site Loonwatch

Mar 13, 2013 4:56 pm By Robert Spencer

I’ve written several times lately about how today’s politically correct culture rewards mediocrities who would never have gotten any notice had they not mouthed the proper opinions and thereby won the approval of the elites. Chief among these is the Islamic supremacist Reza Aslan, who is one of the most prominent, popular and respected Muslim spokesmen on the scene, but has recently been unmasked as a Board member of a front group for Iran’s bloody Islamic regime. Aslan is also a Left-fascist who has called for obstruction of our freedom of speech by means of vandalism of our pro-freedom ads.

Aslan employs as his gunsel the dull-witted and violent-minded enemy of freedom Nathan Lean, who has threatened me repeatedly, repeats what he knows to be falsehoods about my record, and has been arrested for shouting obscenities at a city council meeting. Lean has also called on hackers to destroy this site.

In a sane world, people like Reza Aslan and Nathan Lean would be regarded as the vile dregs of humanity that they obviously are, and all free people would regard them with contempt and disdain. In the real world, however, Lean gets space in the Los Angeles Times and New York Daily News to defame me and my colleagues, and to call for restriction of our freedom of speech. Nathan Lean is a stalker who is clearly obsessed and unhinged; but instead of a straitjacket, he gets space in the mainstream media.

“EXPOSED: Aslan Media Editor-In-Chief Nathan Lean is ‘Garibaldi’ of Loonwatch,” from Logan’s Warning, March 13:

One of the ugliest weapons in the Islamic supremacist arsenal in the U.S. is Loonwatch, a site dedicated to smearing and defaming everyone who opposes the jihad agenda. The site’s authors carefully guard their anonymity, probably to guard against defamation suits from their targets. But one of their chief writers, “Garibaldi,” has recently outed himself as none other than Nathan Lean, editor-in-chief of Aslan Media and author of a book entitled “The Islamophobia Industry,” which attempts to convince Americans that concern about jihad is the result of fiendish “Islamophobes,” not of 20,000 jihad attacks since 9/11.

Evidence 1:
Recently in writing about Mr. Spencer, Garibaldi wrote this in a comment on his own article about Spencer’s private life:


GaribaldiOfLoonwatch Mod Leftwing_Muslim_Alliance 13 days ago

He is not celibate, he’s married. In the course of digging on the internet, I also learned the name of his wife and children, though that isn’t really germane to the discussion so I won’t advertise it.

Who else has dug on the Internet and found the names of Mr. Spencer’s wife and children? Nathan Lean. Spencer has written of Lean: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/08/nigeria-jihadists-threaten-countrys-top-spies-by-publishing-their-home-addresses-and-names-of-family.html

Four months after that, he sent Mr. Spencer an email calling him a “dumb fuck” and adding “But, having a look at this, I kind of pity you,” which was followed by a link containing a photo of a woman in the same city. The woman has the same surname Spencer; apparently Lean thought she was his wife.
(Click on image to enlarge, the photo in question has been deleted.)
RS email correct
Evidence 2:
Garibaldi wrote of Mr. Spencer in a comment:

But the shaggy walrus beard and so forth indicates its him.

Reza Aslan said to Mr. Spencer: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/11/the-incredible-reza-aslan-automated-insult-generator.html

I told you. I”m into women not walruses.

Nathan Lean works for Aslan.

Evidence 3:
Garibaldi interviewed Aslan for Loonwatch. Most of the interview was made up of nasty ad hominem attacks on Mr. Spencer: http://www.loonwatch.com/2011/11/exclusive-loonwatch-interview-with-reza-aslan/

Evidence 4:
Jonathan Schanzer wrote a scathing review of Lean’s book for the Wall Street Journal. Loonwatch published a petulant and defensive response piece viciously attacking Schanzer. Who wrote it? Garibaldi.

Evidence 5:
Nathan Lean has frequently called for opponents of jihad terror to be denied free speech rights:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/01/editor-in-chief-of-moderate-aslan-media-endorses-cyber-terrorism.html
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/08/nathan-lean-is-a-thug.html

Garibaldi wrote a piece at Loonwatch celebrating the vandalism of AFDI’s anti-jihad ads:
http://www.loonwatch.com/2012/09/mona-el-tahawy-and-spray-painting-pamela-gellers-hate-ads/

Reza Aslan also called for that vandalism: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/09/reza-aslan-calls-for-fascist-vandalism-of-afdi-pro-freedom-ads.html

Nathan Lean, psychotic stalker and hate-filled traitor to America.
