On Monday, March 9, 2015, I spoke to the ACT for America chapter in Mission Viejo, California, on the topic, “Is the Islamic State Islamic? And Why It Matters.”
HERE IS THE PERFECT “REALITY CHECK” TO SEND TO YOUR FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS . . .
Yet another gift from the relentless courageous 24/7 counter-jihad freedom fighter Robert Spencer.

OOOPS ! ! ! ! I forgot two important suggestions :
1. DIRECT THE RECIPIENTS TO HIS BLOG AND “ABOUT ROBERT SPENCER” — in the black bar at the top; that is his biography and expert credentials on Islam.
2. BROADEN YOUR CONTACT GROUP PATH TO SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES on national security committees, even if they are not from your own state.

I will send this to the idiot Trudeau. Canada needs Robert as well.

Unfortunately, given the fact that a lot of voters, these days, choose their next Prime Minister or President based mostly on good looks or just for the sake of change at the top, at any cost, it’s more than likely that Trudeau will be the next PM of Canada!
I know, that would be really sad, for many wise Canadians, who really know better!

@ terry
” a lot of voters, these days, choose their next Prime Minister or President based mostly on good looks ”
Isn’t that pathetic? George Washington (bad teeth), Thomas Jefferson (stutterer), James Madison (100 lbs.) and Abraham Lincoln (not exactly Errol Flynn) could never be elected today.
PatnCatssays
YES TO DO THIS! And I’ve also posted Robert’s website on my Congressman’s and Senator’s FACEBOOK sites. I always check and see what folks are writing and “LIKE” commentary about pushing islam OUT of our country, that the koran is SEDITION.

Our BOB is a hero, he is unstoppable, as you said he 24/7 hours pursuing the jihadis.

First, it’s been proven by many scholars of the Koran that ISIS is indeed Islamic. Second, the cruel ,violent ,brutal and murderous jihad entity ISIS should not and need not have gotten this far in the first place. In that ISIS should not be having all this land, wealth and power. For example in the new book entitled ISIS EXPOSED by Erik Stakelbeck the reader is informed about Obama on page 24 that “the advice of his top commander on the ground, General LIoyd J. Austin [who recommended keeping twenty-four U.S. troops in Iraq], and other top military officers, President Obama had authorized the complete withdrawal of American troops from the country.” All this ,very much, brings to mind the wisdom of the teaching of Sun Tzu from THE ART OF WAR.Which teaches “He will win who has the military capacity is is not interfered with by the sovereign.”

If ISIS is not Islamic, then Muslims have a common duty to eliminate them as deviants. However, Muslims are doing practically nothing to eliminate ISIS.
When Sharia law is implemented in the name of the caliph, how can Muslims claim ISIS is not Islamic?
Alarmed Pig Farmersays
The only thing we have is the truth.
Is that enough? The truth doesn’t work when it comes to political economics, or the environment, or race. Why should the truth work when it comes to the biggest and most difficult problem of all, Moslems?
THsays
It is going to be ever more difficult for politicians,media and academia to continue to fly in the face of reality and fool the public into continuing to believe the big lie of Islam as a religion of peace and the rest of their lies. In Europe it is almost inevitable that there will be civil wars as the ordinary folk realize that sharia is being railroaded on them by dhimmi politicians who are going to be the direct cause of such civil wars, which at this stage could be avoided but not in several years.

A good contrast to Robert is Madonna’s hilarious remarks about France’s sad recent history.
Here’s a sample from the Mail:
She told a Paris radio station: ‘We’re living in crazy times. It feels like Nazi Germany.
‘France was once a country that accepted people of colour, a place artists escaped to, whether it was [entertainer] Josephine Baker or [saxophonist] Charlie Parker.
‘It was a country that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way, shape or form of artistic expression of freedom. Now that’s completely gone.’
There’s a great post that mocks the hell out of the diva with a reported 140 IQ. It’s at:
Thanks for this link, John. I really liked it and laughed hard while reading it!

Thank you, Robert …the Truth about islam is soo refreshing!

I listened to all 103 minutes, and this talk held my interest from beginning to end.
One suggestion: In presentations like this, miking is very important. Here, the sound quality was relatively good, but there still were large-room echoes. I wonder whether you would get better sound quality with one of those headphone-microphones like http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/little-boy-headphones-microphone-singing-16179801.jpg
Try consulting with the microphone people at “American Idol”.

This was great. Thank you so much, Mr. Spencer, and may God bless you and keep you.

It is a mixed blessing to watch, Straight scoop is always good but we do need prepare for the worst since our gov. isn’t. @ Champ, No teleprompter is refreshing too.

As he does not believe that Muhammad is from God he also does not accept the infallible guidance of the Quran and Muhammad and is judging calls made by God by human standards and his own finite limited understanding. Who knows better us or God? God is All Knowing not any man.
He is free to contend this is not of God but that does not mean it isn’t but is just the view of one individual.
As I said, the crux of the entire issue here is – was Muhammad and the Quran from God or not?? If it was then God is free from error and injustice.
Baha’is believe He was of God and that the Quran is the Word of God. We do not accept Mullas interpretations only the interpretations of the Baha’i Prophets. Do you see our understanding leading to wars and terrorism? Are we jihadists? Then there must be a correct way of understanding the Quran that has been lost due to personal ambition. After all, the Message of Muhammad is essentially spiritual and it is the spiritual which is dead not the outward Book.
Baha’is are a living proof to all humanity that you can believe strongly in Muhammad and the Quran and be very peaceful. It is a matter of understanding the Quran in a spiritual and virtuous way.
I’m a Bahai. I can speak about these issues because we are amongst the most persecuted people on the planet, persecuted by Muslim clergy but we don’t attribute that to Islam because we know both the Quran and Muhammad are from the same God that Jesus came from and we will always defend Muhammad even if they kill everyone of us because it’s truth.
That ISIS misuse and abuse the Quran is against Islam 3:7 and the Quran condemns it. The Quran is perfect in every way but our understanding of it is not. A true understanding of the times and history is required not just the individual verses to see clearly that it’s guidance was infallible and just.
To divorce the individual verses of the Quran from their historical significance is to do it great injustice.
Muhammad appeared at a time in Arabia where savage and barbaric tribes roamed. These tribes such as the Quraysh were every bit as ISIS is today but far worse and Muhammad had to contend with them and try and civilise them.
Do we not defend ourselves against the ISIS of today and call it justice? It was justice also to defend against the Quraysh.
To deny Muhammad the right to defend against the ISIS of His Day but say it’s ok for us to carpet bomb ISIS is hypocrisy.
Little do,people know that Muhammad was faced in His time with the same brutality and savagery that we are facing now. And our call is to destroy them and His call was also to destroy them unless they changed their ways. We’re not even giving them that but just annihilating them outright and it’s seen as justice just as it was seen as justice in the time of Muhammad.

Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists and Sunni and Shia all believe in their god just as much as you believe in yours. They are all just as convinced as you are that their god is the real god. Well, you can’t all be right. Only one of you can be right and probably none of you are Religions are constructs invented by man to explain the unexplainable. While it is normal and natural to want their to be a god and an afterlife that doesn’t mean there is one. I hope there is, but I don’t know and neither does anyone else no matter how strongly they assert otherwise.
