Tonight on Fox, along with Noor, a former Muslim and former member of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, the beheader’s mosque.
I broke the story about the mosque’s teachings here.

Kate says
We saw it live. It was SO good to see you back on prime time! Does this mean you have been ‘rehabilitated’? I do hope so. Also, what a good witness “Noor” is; cool calm and clear.
TAD says
At first it looked like Robert wasn’t even going to get any time on the show. And while it did prove to be an incredibly brief appearance, he packed in A LOT!
I especially liked that Hannity emphasized Robert’s excellent question, “why is the president sending a ‘thank you letter’ to the mosque, rather than a terrorism investigation team”?!
Bosch Fawstin says
Always good to see the truth about Islam go mainstream, especially when it’s from the Indispensable Robert Spencer. Next, Rush Limbaugh has to concede that he doesn’t know the truth about Islam and Jihad and have you on. And Mark Levin, and…..
wildjew says
Mark Levin is recently syndicated here in our area. I’ve not heard him yet on Islam. I hope he is more up to speed than Limbaugh. Along with his support for Bush’s lies about Israel and Islam, etc., Rush Limbaugh supported the Dubai Ports buyout during the Bush years.
vlparker says
I don’t think it has anything to do with being up to speed on islam. I think they are both afraid to tell the truth about islam.
Transmaster says
The problem with the Dubai port deal was the fact there are only four company’s that can run a sea port. One from China, The Netherlands, Dubai, and that which is evil in incarnate Halliburton. Can you imagine the sh** storm that would have come down if Halliburton had been picked.
Shane says
This is an important interview and I hope that all Jihad Watch members will like it on facebook and tweet it on twitter. I believe that most mosques in the USA preach jihad against the infidels.
Paula says
So nice to see you on Fox! You were as articulate and factual as ever… I do hope more mainstream media will continue to cover you and that your time as persona non grata is finished.
Congratulations on your continued tireless work; many in your situation would have given in to bitterness and hopelessness but you didn’t!!!!
All the best to you!!!!
Shane says
I agree! I hope that other Fox shows like The Five and The Factor will have Robert Spencer on as an expert on Islam and Muhammad.
john siple says
Good going, guys. All ya!
mortimer says
The networks have finally realized they NEED ACCURATE INFORMATION about Islam from REAL EXPERTS!
Well done! I complement the editors and Mr. Hannity for their good sense in calling Mr. Spencer.
Mr. Spencer is a REAL EXPERT on Islamic doctrines, especially on jihad and Islamic historicity.
john siple says
Good going, guys. All ya
We must sort through this “he says/ Koran says”, really before tomorrow ends, huh?
I mean this sincerely for time is ticking. I mean this with all my soul.
Salah says
Thank you Robert and thank you Noor.
As I’ve always said: Ex-Muslims are our best allies. Islam will be destroyed from within. Muslims need to know the truth about their religion and their prophet. That’s how they’ll turn away from Islam, that’s how they will destroy Islam.
They need our help, they need Truth and Protection.
To our dear Muslim friends:
The Truth about the Founder of Islam.
http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2010/12/perfect-man-of-islam.html
Tim says
Ex-Muslims indeed are our best allies but neither the media nor the government wants to listen to them or take them seriously.
mortimer says
Agree with both Salah and Tim.
But how do we increase the credibility of ex-Muslims? To us, it is obvious they know more about this Death Cult than even practicing Muslims! But journalists look at them with suspicion. We need to find the reason for that and change it.
You think journalists would have SYMPATHY with someone (an ex-Muslim) who has just become MORE RATIONAL by running from a predatory, backward, medieval theocracy!
Lesley says
I’m grateful to Robert Spencer, Sean Hannity, and “Noor” for speaking the plain and obvious truth. How is it that our leadership can classify this as workplace violence? What is wrong with our leader? Why won’t they confront this issue? I am much less scared of Islamist violence than I am of our government’s denial.
steakman says
You ask why and how is it they classffied this as “workplace violence”. Anything to deflect blame away fromt he TRUE reason…ISLAM and its demands. One must understand that there are many Islamic voices within the Government and many in very high places wispering into ears. True Taqiya…
I am reminded of the Lord of the Rings when King Theodin is under the spell of the same sort of “taqiya”…whisperings of defeat and accomodation and non offense to those that stand to gain.
Identical scenario…although I have come to strongly suspect the POTUS is himself a closet Muslim.
Mark Spahn says
Take a look at the background beginning at 6:34. There is a building that seems to be labeled ” CIGAR FACTORY”. Combining this with the blue round emblem (a face?) at the top of the foreground building, Google Street Views might be able to pinpoint this location in Undisclosed Locationville.
Don McKellar says
The mean the background superimposed on the green screen behind Spencer? What are you trying to say Mark-o?
Don McKellar says
Excellent the way you made your power points through a few bits where Hannity did his usual interupting. But then Hannity stopped himself and seemed to realize how powerful your points were. “Noor” was also very good — solid points, plainly told with context.
An interview like this, a decade or two ago, would have caused a firestorm and congressional hearings about what is going on with this administration who has hamstringed the FBI from investigating properly, and the timing of the personal Obama letter. But in our insane times, probably very little will happen.
Desi says
In a small developed south-east asian country ,there would be secret police recording inflammatory speeches in religious institutions (i.e temples,mosques and churches ) to weed out the bad guys who want to destroy the peace and harmony of it’s people. A late South African Islamic preacher had to leave the country for doing so many years ago.
Tim says
The problem with these Asian countries is that corruption is rampant making it easy to ruin intelligence operations, and funding shortages blocks them from being more efficient. Being removed from the ridiculous Western human rights laws, they would be really successful weeding out all nasty Muslim elements. Instead, they are subject to endless attacks.
John C. Barile says
Might you be referring to Singapore?
Infidel says
Only 8 minutes?
An American woman was butchered in the name of a predatory religion.
This piece deserved the whole hour and more.
EvenSo says
I thought exactly the same thing, there was more to be learnt and more time was needed.
Bezelel says
Ditto to that
Myxlplik says
Smiles to you Robert, you can translate an eternity of a Islamic study between breaths and make the transmission of thought seem uninterrupted, when it is an interruption only allowed by the briefest of interludes.
I’m in awe as usual, absolutely incredible.
Bezelel says
Very well said, and I think they are afraid to give Robert too much time.
B says
Of course since the guy doesn’t reveal his identity it can’t be confirmed he goes there…. However that is not the accusation the immam responds with because he knows it is the truth.
Steve says
Finally! It was high time to see R. Spencer on Fox. I hope we will see him more often. Great job.
voegelinian says
Hannity at one point referred to the “radical Islamism” of the beheader’s Facebook page. What’s the difference between that and Islam again, Mr. Hannity?
duh_swami says
Maybe if Sean has Robert on a few more times, Sean may drop that ‘radical’ nonsense he is always pushing. Maybe he can even learn that no religion has been hijacked…Sean’s on the right path, but he needs a whole lot of refining.
wildjew says
Agreed. I hope he has Spencer on again soon.
St. Ferdinand says
Only in America today with a former Moslem president would there be any discussion or ‘controversy’ over a Moslem convert, steeped in Koranic hatred, learnt at his local mosque, beheading a woman while screaming Moslem hate speech. Islam is Islam. What is there to discuss? This man was just doing his Sharia-Koranic-cult of Muhammad-duty and will in his mind, go to the Moslem heaven, a place reserved only for men and their concubines and young boys.
L.S. says
Wonderful interview!! I couldn’t see it last night, so THANKS for posting it here.
Noor is a very brave man. Maybe he will be an encouragement to others who are willing to report what is actually going on in the mosques here in the U.S. It says a lot about the religion of Islam that a person has to hide their identity for fear of retaliation for speaking out.
Wish the interview could have been longer with you (Robert Spencer) speaking.
Good question! — Just WHY isn’t the federal government checking out this mosque’s teachings? (along with all the other mosques in the U.S.). I think we know the answer.
St. Patrick says
“Noor” is appropriately named, meaning light..Thanks “Noor” for being brave and shining light on the travesty of this mosque and its militancy..Oklahoma had better shut ’em down and arrest the imam before there’s more murder..In a sane world..
And yeah, eight minutes..Incredible.
Great gumption to continue speaking Robert!
Twostellas says
Great interview, Robert. Very concise. Kudos!
Jaladhi says
I saw this show and think that Robert was not given enough time to expose Islamic texts. He patiently waited for his turn without butting in. But anyway it is good that Robert was invited. Hannity’s usual is to invite a Bangladeshi Muslim who is peddling the usual lies and Hannity keeps on egging him with “your religion is hijacked by theses ISIS extremists”. It is always the extremists who highjack Islam and give it a bad name. He doesn’t consider the possibility that its Islam itself that is teachibg these ISIS guys to invade, kill, murder, rape, enslave, etc, etc, – perfectly emulating their god Mo/allah!!
I hope Robert is invited Hannity to straighten him out!!
Jaladhi says
I think it’s high time all these talking heads learn ” It’s the religion, stupid!!!”
pumbar says
Listen to this:
Whenever any religion is introduced to a cultural group it is superimposed over a vast set of cultural norms and expectations. It is called syncretism. Affleck’s points were valid. Indonesian Islam is different from Saudi Islam; the same that American Christianity is different from Korean Christianity. Rezi Alsan tries to make this point in his interview. People also bring their own set of values according to their personality and character; a violent man will do violence whether he is Christian or Muslim. Alsan is an academic and I have done academic studies and research in this field.

Hmm
Will says
Maybe so but the end result is the same: Sharia exact or close and expansionist always. I remember the Bali that once was, not the holiday brothel it is now thanks to Indonesia and Islam as this beautiful culture once covered both Malaysia and Indonesia.
Mirren10 says
I clicked on the link, pumbar, but couldn’t find what you quoted. Who said it ? Sorry if I’m being dim.
In any case, whoever said it, it is patently untrue.
*Wherever* sharia holds sway, it operates in exactly the same way. And whatever *superficial* differences may exist in various countries where there is a significant percentage of mhammedans, the basic MO remains the same; stealth jihad, veiled threats, then overt threats, then violent jihad.
And of course, the perennial whines of victimhood, and the rhetoric of all vicious and violent abusers everywhere ; “look what you made me do.”
pumbar says
It’s by a commenter called “youaresowrong”, I just had to point out the deluded vacuity of the people we are up against.

………………………………………..
Not really, Pumbar—Saudi Arabia just applies Islam more vigorously over all than does Indonesia, but only because the influence of Islam in Indonesia is somewhat blunted by non-Muslim influences—Hindus, Christians, animists, the Chinese.
But where Indonesia *does* apply Islam vigorously—in Aceh, which is under Shari’ah law—it is virtually indistinguishable from the Shari’ah of Saudi Arabia, despite being thousands of miles away and ethnically quite different.
Aceh sharply curtails freedom, bans any criticism of Islam, enforces veiling, oppresses non-Muslims, flogs victims, and now has stoning on the books. Saudi Arabia is little different.
But why not? The Qur’an, the Hadith, the Sira, and the model of the “Prophet” are *exactly* the same.
Islam itself is *not* different.
And while it matters little, since it presents no threat, Christianity is not that different in the US and Korea, either. There is a Korean-American church just blocks from where I live, which is also my polling place. Style and emphasis may be a bit different, but it is all the same faith.

Pumbar, Reza Aslan is a shill for *the Islamic Republic of Iran*. Jihad Watch has covered this vile Taqiyya artist many times.
Here’s a salient piece from just a few days ago on the very story covered above:
“Reza Aslan excoriates Bill Maher’s “bigotry,” offers half-truths and deceptions on Islam”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/10/reza-aslan-excoriates-bill-mahers-bigotry-offers-half-truths-and-deceptions-on-islam
And here’s more ugliness:
“Reza Aslan comes out strong for Hamas”
ttp://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/08/reza-aslan-comes-out-strong-for-hamas
“Reza Aslan: Egypt should surrender to the Muslim Brotherhood — or else”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/02/reza-aslan-egypt-should-surrender-to-the-muslim-brotherhood-or-else
Lots more nastiness on Reza Aslan in the JW archives.
Moreover, it should be noted that despite the superficial differences between Shia Islam and the Sunni variety, that Iran is *exactly* the same sort of Shari’ah hell hole that Saudi Arabia and Aceh are—where victims are imprisoned for “blasphemy”, veiling is enforced, victims are flogged for singing, and women are stoned to death.
And it is not true that Christians and Muslims are equally apt to be violent. Muslims make up a percentage of the prison population in the West out of all proportion to their numbers in society.
To assume that being a follower of a violent creed would have no effect on a person’s behavior simply makes no sense.
pumbar says
I agree 100% Gravenimage. I was just pointing out that this hypnotic malaise spouted by Afleck etc is so widespread. People seem to perform extraordinary feats of mental gymnastics to avoid what is in front of their eyes.
Charles Martel says
Hannity is so frustrating. Here he is finally getting you on his show after how long? Then you try to tell him the OK mosque is not a unique situation. You tried to cite the surveys about all the US sleeper cells, i.e. mosques, and Hannity opens his mouth and walked all over your statement. At some point someone needs to explain to Hannity how to conduct an interview. the bloody interview is not about him!!
DiMu says
They should do a segment like this every week until the message gets through the web of lies spun by the Traitor-in Chief and his sidekick, Holder.
boakai ngombu says
thank you, Robert and Noor, and even Shawn, for somewhat controlling his tongue.
glad I recorded it. the morning news selected the Maher/Aflek debate as having more legs
TRUTH about the adherents to SHARIA (enslavement tool) is found on the lower left of page 13 today
wildjew says
OT: Remember the 2012 Republican primary when Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller led an effort to expose Gov. Rick Perry’s curriculum which white washed the history of Islam in some Texas public schools? Ace of Spades (blog) and other apologists for Islam on the right unmercifully attacked Spencer and Geller.
Now this:

Great to see Robert on Hannity! Very refreshing to hear some unfiltered truth about islam leak through the mainstream news.
Robert, Michael Savage is someone who is speaking a lot about islam on his show, which has a huge audience. He seems much more honest and up to speed about islam than any of the others who are main stream. He has even mentioned you on his show. He’s also had Walid Shobat on his show numerous times.
Anyway, great to see you on Hannity as he (and his viewers, I’m assuming), need some educating about islam. Who better than Robert Spencer to enlighten them? None!
Rbb Trueman says
Great job Robert! It would be incredible to have Robert be a regular on Hannity and fox. Someone to counter that awful taqiyya artist, Michael Ghose.
Also, Michael Savage is the one mainstream person who is speaking regularly and fairly coherently, about islam. He has even mentioned Robert and Jihad watch on his show. He has had Walid Shobat on his show numerous times. I would love to hear Robert on his show. He has a huge audience. Keep on Truckin’!
Rob
Dave J says
Glad it was aired but 8 minutes for this important story is far too little.
Robert is factual and straight forward, we need to see his information on the MSM.
Educating people about Islam and what is really going on in all these mosques is the first step towards realism and reformation.
A thank you note from the President to the mosque a few days after a beheading by a mosque member – unbelievable!
wildjew says
I wonder why Hannity likes to interview Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul on his radio program. Rand Paul believes we can “contain” a nuclear armed Iran. Why doesn’t Hannity bring Republicans who do not support a nuclear Iran on his program?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Because he does softball interviews with prominent Republicans, and Hannity’s the guy who swears he’s a conservative who’s close to giving up on the RINO party. As usual, it’s about the questions not asked and the answers not given to the unasked questions. Usually that defines the story, or the low quality of it.
This is how “narratives” are maintained. Not too many decades ago reporting was all about the facts, now it’s about narratives.
I see where Homeland was attacked today by the WaPo as “bigoted” for its uflattering presentation of Moslems in episodes set in the Middle East and in Pakistan. I’ve always thought the show was fair in its representations of Moslems, but don’t watch it much because it like the rest carefully avoids the heart of Islam, the facts of it. That a show like that, a relative softball drama around Moslems, comes under attack by a major newspaper tells you how far decoupled from reality the MSM has become, which means the same for unquestioning MSM watchers.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It turns my stomach to see the smiling face of Spencer hovering atop the banner “Rise of Radical Islam.” I like seeing him of course, although of late I wince when I do cuz the sad thought of the Copts always pops into my mind now… but can someone tell me how the New Caliphate and its many brethren outfits depart from the basics of Islam, or how they in any way propose revolutionary change to the belief system?
Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Osama bin Laden, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei other Moslem activists are in no way radical, they are just that: activists. They are acting on the commands of the Holy Ko-Ran and the lessons of the Hal-Deaths, and of course there is a strong mapping between the two and what we get from these people nowadays.
Conceding to fairy dust terms like Radical Islam implies to the public that there are robust herds of Unicorns out there, galloping forward, along the trail blazed by Locke, Madison and Jefferson.
Champ says
radical islam: a distinction without a difference …islam is inherently radical.
gravenimage says
Excellent stuff! Great to see Robert Spencer back on FOX. Hope to see many more such shows.
And kudos to “Noor” for coming forward—it takes a lot of guts to leave Islam, and even more to speak out. What a brave and honorable man.
