Wow. WOW! The greatest interview I have ever seen on the topic. Laser focus. Exact points. All facts and logic. Inescapable truth making this a must see for anybody who wants to actually understand what is going on in the world today. An absolutely historic interview.
I never expected to see something like this from the 700 Club nor Pat Robertson. Unfortunately the origin of the interview will severely limit those who should see it.
Brian says
Good interview…I hope all America saw this..
Juan says
I hope ALL Europe will see this interview, particularly our coward politicians.
cs says
Finally a very friendly presenter.
Georg says
The more Robert speaks, the more sense he makes– thus the broader media never let him string more than a couple sentences together.
cs says
Exactly.
Don McKellar says
Fantastic interview! Unfortunately because of the nature of the TV show and Pat Robertson, there will be a bias against it by those who absolutely need to hear the truth, and therefore limited viewing. Which is really too bad
Michael Lafleur says
Finally someone who tells it like it is.
Can’t expect that from our dead beat cowardly politicians!
Cecilia Ellis says
This is undoubtedly the best interview I have seen! Robert, you were absolutely superb in responding to Pat Robertson’s equally on-target questions. The CBN audience is widespread, not just viewed by a specific Christian segment. That you were able to address such a broad scope of factually correct information, in eleven minutes, has done more to educate millions than has any mainstream media segment on ISIS in the past year. You made it perfectly clear that ISIS is indeed Islamic, contrary to what is being said by the President, Vice-President, Secretary of State, and the Republican Party. By the way, your “strike their necks” (Quran 41:4) quote really seemed to stun Pat. I predict that your book will do well in the CBN viewing community, because I am convinced that a majority of the CBN audience did not know that ISIS is manifesting true Islam, as specifically mandated in the Qur’an. You have certainly whetted their appetite for greater knowledge. Thank you for your continued, uphill battle to dismantle the lies of those who have the responsibility to first name and then to defeat the enemy.

The reason Robertson knows the issues with Islam is because he has a thorough understanding of RELIGION and its POLITICAL repercussions.
Most journalists are ILLITERATE about religion and cannot HANDLE THE TRUTH about jihad.

“The reason Robertson knows the issues with Islam is because he has a thorough understanding of RELIGION and its POLITICAL repercussions.”
Mortimer, you are most correct! While Robert was direct, articulate and superbly erudite in exposing the truth about ISIS and its origins and goals, Pat did something I have witnessed no other interviewer do. He asked the one question that struck right to the heart of the “eternal and perfect word of Allah” and that question was this “So ISIS is not doing something that’s aberrational . . . this is core Islam?” Though I may have missed it, I have never heard another interviewer acknowledge and highlight that fact. Nor have I heard another media host allow Robert to fully respond without interruption. For once, Islam was the elephant in the room that was clearly identified and discussed for a broad audience.
One might argue that the viewing audience is limited, but I disagree. CBN airs worldwide; its viewers are not just evangelical Christians. Additionally, CBN programs repeat at other times during the day and during the week for those unable to watch at the original time of airing. Hopefully, this segment will appear on youtube, thereby reaching others who might not seen it.
Nevertheless, whoever saw this interview can only conclude one thing: ISIS is indeed Islam; ISIS is following the mandates — noted by Robert — as directed by the “eternal and perfect word of Allah” in the Qur’an. Robert opened a lot of eyes today. The evil of Islam has been exposed in the deeds of ISIS; the enemy has been named. No Islamic apologist can deny that; to do so would deny the Qur’an, something no devout Muslim can do.
RCCA says
A great interview! A lingering question is, what does the US after defeating ISIS? Do we get into another endless quagmire like we did in Afghanistan and Iraq?
RCCA says
… what does the US do after defeating ISIS?
PRCS says
They will likely proclaim victory over the “evil-doers” who have “twisted” and “perverted” the Religion of Peace and continue to assert that whatever Muslim groups replace ISIS/ISIL/IS have nothing to do with Islam.
EYESOPEN says
Superb interview Robert! I only wish this was broadcast over ALL networks!
Joseph says
@ Robert Spencer
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT interview. You were fast, articulate and to the point. The only bad thing I have to say is that they allowed you only eleven minutes. This is a shame because I saw by your body language that you had much more knowledge that you wanted to pass along to the listener. Just think of what you could have done in one hour.
However in those few minutes I will bet you a BBB(bacon bacon bacon) sandwich that you have swayed and changed many a mind.
My prayers are with you Robert, and all of your staff that you will never grow weary in this battle against Islam.
Once again many thanks to you and you staff.

The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS.
or
Everything you wanted to know about ISIS but were afraid to ask.
Robert will tell you..
underbed cat says
I don’t know how large an audience Pat Robertson has, but this was great to hear Robert Spencer get this information exposed while leaders continued with this deception willingly or unwillingly. Truthful information ( which Islam calls slander) counts and Robert Spencer is an expert on this subject, Isis al queda, boko harem,etc.are all islamic. The viewers have friends, I hope they start this discussion.
How many seconds befrore CAIR calls, if they do that will make the news.
Cecilia Ellis says
Cat, like you, I expect to hear a rebuttal from CAIR at the moment it learns of this news segment. Nevertheless, you might find the following information interesting, as provided on the CBN website:
“The 700 Club can be seen in 96 percent of the homes in the U.S. and is carried on ABC Family cable network, FamilyNet, Trinity Broadcasting Network, plus numerous local U.S. television stations, and is seen daily by approximately one million viewers.
CBN International maintains 15 television production centers around the world that create indigenous versions of The 700 Club and other Christian programs in 39 languages. CBN International programs are broadcast in 138 countries to an estimated yearly viewing audience of 360 million people.”

So, there is good chance that a lot of people were educated because of this CBN segment.
Emma says
An excellent discussion. Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for your daily jihadwatch email.
I disagree with your perception of why Obama does what he does. His supporters, advisors, appointments, and the like indicate to me that he favors Muslims to Americans. His totalitarian activism is enabling their revolution.
Dr Gangatharan says
The invasion of Europe Is in the guise of refugees and migrants is not understood by even the seasoned politicians and Pope. What the IS aims at is the destruction of Greco Roman Christian relics and antiquities and taking away of hard earned Liberty- Human Rights
revereridesagain says
He does favor Muslims and Islam over everything having to do with Western Civilization. He is not trying to solve a problem and failing, he is working to enable the enemy and succeeding. Robert gives the cold, hard, irrefutable facts about the nature and rise of ISIS. Any honest person who has observed Hussein the Obamullah over the past 8 years should be able to come to the same conclusion.
This was another fine presentation by Robert. Sadly, when it gets to the point that the general public starts listening to the facts and understanding their implications, it will mean that the crisis engulfing Europe has arrived here. Too many people persist in ignoring disaster until escape is nearly impossible.
Alex says
Great interview, but I think that Robert was being a bit apologetic for Assad there. “Obnoxious”? Really? He’s a mass murderer and a child torturer; he isn’t just “obnoxious”. Perhaps Robert should learn more about Assad’s mass murder tactics (Following the footsteps of pedo Mo and his pedo companion Ali, both mass murderers themselves)
Robert Spencer says
Alex
I didn’t say he was “obnoxious.” I said he was “noxious.”
Alex says
Thank you for your answer Mr Spencer, I am a big fan of your work. However, I still think that “noxious” is a light term for a mass murderer who leads death squads of rapists and torturers.
The irony is that I believe that he is all doing this the “Halal” way according to the Shiite Islamic clerics in Iran/Iraq who seem to absolve him of any wrong doing.
