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

Video: Robert Spencer on Muslim persecution of Christians — the speech the U.S. Catholic Bishops don’t want you to see

Oct 4, 2015 12:39 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: I have swapped out the original video embedded in this post for one with improved audio.

On August 13, 2015, I was the keynote speaker at the annual convocation of the North American Lutheran Church in Dallas, Texas. I spoke about the global Muslim persecution of Christians.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sends a representative to the North American Lutheran Church convocation every year. However, this year, when the USCCB found out I was the keynote speaker, they pulled their rep from the Lutheran convocation. Kudos to the North American Lutheran Church for not caving in to this lily-livered fascism and allowing me to speak anyway, rather than canceling me so that the Catholic rep would come. The Lutheran bishop told me that what I had to say was “too important” for that.

Watch this speech and see what the Catholic Bishops of the United States find so objectionable that they can’t even be in the same room while it is being said. Find out what they don’t want you to know.

(Note: there is about 15 minutes of the NALC convocation on this video after I speak. This has nothing to do with my talk and is just an editing error.)

    Finally a church bold enough to teach its people the truth on the ideology of Islam. This is refreshing and encouraging to see. I would hope other houses of worship will follow.

      NALC has gained a large number of Christian churches in recent years as the apostate Evangelical Lutheran church of America (ELCA) dies from its lack of faithfulness to Christ and it’s compromising of the truth of Christ. ELCA is among those like the Catholics in the Vatican who preach antichrist like accommodation to islam and it’s demon possessed pseudo prophet and mass murderer thief liar misogynist and pedophile muhammed pbuh* My own church in which I grew up in used to be ELCA Lutheran but pulled out because of the false gospel that way being pushed by ELCA bishops and joined NALC. God bless NALC.
      pbuh* perpetual banishment unto hell!

    As an inactive Christian, could someone please educate me about the North American Lutheran Church? Is it a separate entity from the lefty ELCA (Every Liberal Cause in America)? I always heard that the mainstream Lutheran and Presby churches are super liberal and very sympathetic to, and even supportive of Islam, as well as many other causes celebrated by the left.

      @Jackie: I don’t know which Christian tradition you’re coming from, but I’ll tell you what I can. The NALC happened a couple of years ago when a bunch of Mainstream Lutherans finally decided that blessing homosexuality was the last straw and separated from the ELCA. There are also oldeer ,more established conservative Lutheran groups such as the Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Synod.

      Being more in line with the Presbyterian/Reformed tradition, I would suggest you also check out groups like the Presbyterian Church in America, United Reformed Church (the one with this monniker in the USA, not Britain), Netherlands Reformed Congregations, Reformed Church in the US, Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America and a few others.

    Thanks for sharing this. I could listen to the first nine minutes. After about nine minutes, the volume drops and the video becomes difficult to hear.

    What I did hear was very interesting. Robert drives a good point in saying that the Koran names muslims of the executors of the will of Allah. This means muslims are ordered to bring God’s wrath on earth. There is also mention of Jesus having conversations with Allah. Interesting stuff. Wish there was a transcript to read.

    Congratulations, Robert, on your your invitation to speak.

    One can ask if there is any difference between Catholics and Muslims?? Or any difference between CAIR and Catholic church?? Why is Catholic church aping CAIR?

      Robert Spencer’s title ending with:
      “… the speech the U.S. Catholic Bishops don’t want you to see” has a snappy ring to it.
      Is Robert Spencer suggesting an equivalence here? I suspect that would be a bit of an overreach by Robert. The write up lead in does not clarify this and the audio is inaudible.

      I can see why you might ask, ” … any difference between Catholics and Muslims?” from the tantalizing title Jaladhi.

        Oct 4, 2015 at 3:27 pm

        Hmm.. Funny!!

    • Mirren10 says

      Oct 4, 2015 at 3:57 pm

      Jaladhi, one can ask.

      But, do you *seriously * think there is no difference between Catholics, and muslims ?

      There is, and to the detriment of the Catholic hierarchy, a vast gulf between Catholic/Christian doctrine, and the behaviour of its so called episcopal talking heads.

      A reading of the Bible should be enough to dispel such mendacious nonsense. I’m enough of a Protestant Presbyterian, to totally reject what a ‘prince of the church’ tells me I should believe.

      I know some Catholics; in conversation, they have said how much they loathe and despise Francis; they actually name him as an anti-Christ. Whilst I wouldn’ t go that far; think Francis, Rowan Williams, Bishop McManus et al, as examples of how the world corrupts spirituality.

      The Jesus Christ I’ve read about, in the **Bible**, would have nothing but contempt for these Pharisees.

      Yes, Jaladhi, there is a vast difference

      A reading of the Bible should correct the nition that these aquislings, tirncoats,

    This is very interesting, but i wish that there was a way to improve the sound – i have the volume all the way up and still the voice is as quiet as a whisper. I would like to hear you, but i can’t.
    Have a good weekend and take care.

    Is it just my computer or is it the video
    The audio quality is horrendous and only gets worse.

    I wish I could help you all the video but it sounds fine to me. I don’t know why people are finding it inaudible.

    • Bezelel says

      Oct 4, 2015 at 7:33 pm

      It was audible and clear but I had to turn the volume up. Not a big deal. And now I have more knowledge to confront the ignorant with. Such as, islam going through a phase just like Christianity did, which is hogwash.

  9. Kepha says

    Oct 4, 2015 at 8:33 pm

    My own closest sympathies are with more conservative Reformed bodies, but I see
    this as Protestants and Catholics together at its best. Congrats, Robert.

    I note that the North American Lutheran Church probably numbers only around 140,000 souls, but if they’re going to be brave about having Robert talk to them about Islamic persecution of Christians, I hope they grow even more at the expense of apostate denominations like the ELCA.

    I would, however, like to point out that any Protestant body that continues to take a 16th or 17th century confessional statement seriously (Three Forms of Unity, Westminster Standards, Book of Concord, for example) will probably be quite open to the sorts of warning Robert Spencer is giving, and concerned about the plight of Christians facing persecution by Muslims. These are, after all, people who hold that Christ is the door for God’s flock (John 10) and recognize that what the Qur’an teaches about the person of Jesus Christ, the cross, and the Bible is antithetical to things that Confessional Protestants hold very, very dear.

    For those with problems with the video, download youtube downloader and vlc videoplayer, download the above video and just turn volume to 100%, that’s enough for me, if not enough, you can go to 125%

    Oct 4, 2015 at 11:03 pm

    Very good information on Why the persecution is happening Now.
    I too, could hear fine for a few minutes, and then the sound went way down, very quiet. I did manage to hear it, but not as well as I would have liked. But, it was worth the extra attention I had to pay to the words said.

    More people..esp Christians and those with family members who are Christian even if the person listening is not, need to know this.
    I esp liked the very last part, reminding us that we have the Most Powerful Ones fighting for us. And we know Who will win.

    Thank you, Mr. Spencer.

    Just like other world leaders and politicians, religious authorities are self-serving and aloof towards their congregations.

    At: minute40:20 «…it’s a fictional country like Yugoslavia or Belgium …»

    The French-speaking Belgians and the Flemish-speaking quarrel as if they had to split Belgium tomorrow, but many of them are bilingual since school-time; when the King of the Belgians (this is his official title) signs a treaty in the name of their country, its signature is commented three times in each of the official languages of Belgium (French, Flemish, German), all the law are translated in the three official languages of the country, and their national anthem can be sung in two languages.
    Since they are free to safely reside and work in any part of their country (and in any part of the European Union according to the EU treaties), the quarrels among Belgians are jokes of the type «my beer is better than yours».
    Belgium is a very nice country to live in.
    (by the way I am not Belgian)

    God Bless You Robert. Please be careful we so need you. I feel like I am living in an alternate universe, like that twilight zone episode on the train to wallaby, next stop wallaby, but wallaby never comes, just an endless loop. Hey, I have a great idea, let’s invite millions of young Muslim men from Syria to come to our Christian countries.

    As always, you are masterful. You should go see the pope and give him this little lecture on islam and Christianity. He will be delighted to see how you are right and that the Holy Spirit has enlightened you.May God bless you and your work Mr. Spencer.We need so many more men like you.
