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

Video: Robert Spencer — the speech the U.S. Catholic Bishops don’t want you to see (IMPROVED AUDIO)

Oct 5, 2015 8:55 am By Robert Spencer

Many people complained that they could not hear this talk in the version I posted yesterday. So here is an enhanced audio version, with hearty thanks to Vlad.

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.

    I cannot figure these cowardly clerics out, except perhaps they have secret fantasies about being dominated by virile men with guns

      Quite. I can’t think of anything that Mr. Spencer said in either his presentation or in his answers (why was it cut short?) that is not already in the public domain (and probably has been for a long time). And the Catholic bishops must have had access to Mr. Spencer’s writings and to ‘Jihad Watch’, so, unless they were for some reason convinced he was going to say/do something outrageous, or defame them or the RC Church in some way, what was the problem? Has he ever done anything like that? Strange. What does Ms Crockett mean by ‘virile men with big guns’?

    … and there are the ones who are on the right path…

    Right path, wrong path. This is important, lives depend on it. Perhaps the wisest words spoken on this came from that great theologian Yogi Berra, who saideth, “When you come to the Y in the road, take it.”

    And thus we have Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Oz and so many others. They took it. They, and we, those of here in the United States under the dictatorial rule of Prez Barack Hussein, he of the Jakarta madrasas, are taking it, the Y, to have it both ways, to have equivalency, the intellectually easy and apparently morally right path. The first ayats in the Holy Ko-Ran are centered on taking the right path. But where is that path lead us? Well, a peek at Stockholm might tell us, this is where blondes dye their hair dark to lower their chance of being raped by “immigrants” who took only one of the two paths in the Y in the road, the right path.

    An honest and moral person cannot be a catholic.

      As a Catholic, yes, I made that decision about 14 years ago.

        If debris easily moves with each wave and shifting tide that alone does not make it part of the ocean.

        Were you a Catholic in name only APG
        In which case you never really left what you never knew in the first place.

          I’m still a Catholic, but now that is me and the Bible. I will only set foot in a Catholic Church for a wedding or a funeral, and will not take Holy Communion when I’m in one. The Church had always had its proclivity for politics, which is natural and understandable and under certain historical circumstances necessary, but it began teetering on its faith as Marxism popularized a century ago, and went over the edge with the passing of Pope John Paul II. It’s easier to watch one of Obama’s daily news conferences or an episode of Ellen or Bill Maher to get the same thing this Francis dude is selling.

          Global warming indeed. Hey Frank, faith is a matter of religion. Do you have a single solitary proof on this global warming thing? If not, then shut up. As for the Islam is equivalent thing, there *are* proofs, ones that go against you’re pronouncements, so there you propose to take a billion faithful even deeper into the dark caves of fantasy.

        It is actually to your next post. I mostly aggree with your posts and enjoy reading them.
        Just remind you that J-P II kissed the koran. I also refer you to the posts on JW about his visit to ME. It was a shameful occasion.

      If you cannot be Catholic or Orthodox, then why you are not becoming a muslim and adopt their perverted manners. Just leave the Catholic Faith out of your judgmental speech.

      @ Pong

      “An honest and moral person cannot be a catholic.”

      This video wasn’t about Catholics or Catholicism.

      Be gone, troll.

      • Pong says

        Oct 5, 2015 at 4:27 pm

        Troll I am not. I have been posting on JW for several years. I have deepest respect for RS, whom I met personally. I have and read all his books.
        It was about catholics. You just don’t want to see it.
        You remind me of someone, who poses as an american patriot and votes for BO.

    • Peggy says

      Oct 7, 2015 at 12:08 am

      That’s a bit extreme don’t you think?
      Are you saying that you have never met a good person who was Catholic or that if they are good they can’t be Catholic? They only think they are.

    Agree with your analysis.
    For us Hindu’s it is worse. Ours is one of the most ancient civilizations and we are under attack from both islam as well as Christian evangelism.

      “Agree with your analysis.

      Another troll. Christians aren’t murdering Hindus. There is no command or condoning of any such thing in the Bible.

      Address Islam.

    … the Sick Man of Europe

    Now it’s the sick men of Europe. They live in the capitals and major cities there, dining on the fruits of Marxian economics, taking the good life. So good that they can rape without punishment, and suffer no damage to reputation because the news entertainers there (and here) are aligned with the ruling elites. Facts, histories, quotations from primary sources, supporting theories, proofs…

    It’s no going to go away as long as there are believers in the [Holy Ko-Ran]… what can change it is the power of the truth.

    … just who does this Spencer think he is? You want proofs, fella, *here* are some proofs: You couldn’t get a job in a university if you begged for one; the Ko-Ranic Scholars with good reputations are at Columbia (Armstrong), Georgetown (Esposito) and even the most prestigiatiousiousness Hall of Higher Learning, Hahvard Uniburpadee (Pipes). And, while I’m sure you’ve applied for some grant money, I bet you haven’t gotten a single measly dime from Prince Talaweed. Hey, Spencer, it’s a game of credibility, marketability, and narrative now. And I can prove it.

    The article title is a bit bizarre.
    The article here and the video does not explain the presumptuous leap to make the claim that “U.S. Catholic Bishops (DON’T WANT) you to see this video.”
    I do not know why the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops backed out of attending nor can I read their minds. My guess is that msybe after the Catholic sex abuse scandals they are too intimidated lest the Muslim/Leftist alliance reignite an instigate attention to the Catholic churches’ own dirty laundry.
    The video is great though.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Oct 5, 2015 at 11:32 am

      Yes, a fine address by Spencer. The fruition of his education, much of it *after* leaving the university, which is always the case with all accomplished men. In his case knowledge shaped by insults, bad PR, being frozen out of a growing public dialog on his very subject, personal sacrifice and personal threats. Knowledge toughened up by all that, but still arranged cogently so that he can deliver a history and interpret it over the course of 45 minutes and never repeat himself once.

    Agreed with jay boo. Great video, but not sure I will share it because of the unfortunate title.

    Robert Spencer, are you saying that Islam is nothing more than Arab expansionism under the guise of religion?

  9. Tommo says

    Oct 6, 2015 at 5:56 am

    We have in our countries a religion or cult that is expanionist, belligerent, arrogant, rich and fanatical and within their writings and beliefs we, the infidel, form part of it. Many verses in the Qur’an tell Muslims how to treat us and what our responsibilities are toward Muslims. We already have our freedoms curbed because of Islam but there are many more restrictions to come as it tightens it’s grip on our society and implements Sharia. Non-Muslims, without their knowledge or consent, were already subjected to Islam after the first mosque in your country was built.It is now a fight to the death to rid ourselves of this monster we have been exposed to. .

  10. Leo D Harkins says

    Oct 6, 2015 at 6:59 am

    The current bishop of Rome (as he prefers to be called and is so by many others prior to his wish), the pope, is a moron and a dangerous one. He embraces socialistic Marxism, pronounces on subjects of which he knows nothing, and says islam is a religion of peace. He’s helping to destroy Christianity.

    Congratulation, Mr. Spencer, for this clarifications! You made me even more proud of my Romanian Orthodox ancestors, who fought long time against Ottomans and their claims, so that not one mosque had been built on our territories till 1912 Thank you for Jihad Watch existence! Keep it going, you make an excellent job!
