Jihad Watch

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

Robert Spencer in Italy’s Libero: “Occidente remissivo fino al suicidio”

Dec 6, 2015 1:05 pm By Robert Spencer

I was recently interviewed by Italy’s Libero:

Libero1

Libero2

Here is the English text of their questions and the answers I sent them:

1) After the attacks in Paris, we can say that there is a war going on? What kind of war is?

Certainly there is a war going on. The Islamic State has declared war against the West, and detailed how it plans to pursue this war. It is not a war of conventional armies; they hope to destroy the West by subversion and infiltration.

2) Where does this conflict? Is The West responsible?

This conflict could break out anywhere, given the “lone wolf” terror attacks that the Islamic State has called for. The West is not responsible: the jihad imperative in Islam does not depend upon the actions of the targeted Infidels.

3) Many argue that Islamic terrorists are not true Muslims and that Islam is a religion of peace. So it is?

This is plain deception. Islam is the only religion that calls for warfare against and subjugation of Infidels.

4) After the death of Bin Laden we were not able to stop terrorism. Why?

The global jihad did not depend on bin Laden. It was not a movement revolving around a charismatic figure. Rather, it is based on an ideology that perdures after the death of bin Laden.

5) What do you think about the Europe’s response to the attacks in Paris?

Europe’s response has been to admit thousands of Syrian refugees, with no way to vet them for jihad activity or sympathies, and to claim that the jihadis did not actually act in the name of Islam, contrary to their own declared intentions. This denial is counter-productive to the point of being suicidal.

6) Do you believe that Turkey should join the European Union?

If it does, it will mean the Islamization of the European Union.

7) In your opinion, are Turkey and the Saudis responsible of the expansion of the Isis?

Yes. The Saudis have spread the ideology that justifies ISIS around the world. The Turks have not moved against ISIS because ISIS hates the Kurds and Assad, whom the Turks also hate.

8) What do you think of Islamophobia? Does really exist? Muslims are really persecuted?

Islamophobia is a term designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to resist jihad terror. It does not really exist. Muslims enjoy more rights and freedoms in the West than in their home countries.

9) In these days, in various Italian schools, we give up to make the nativity crib or give blessings to not offend other cultures. What do you think?

Those other cultures will not be so generous or humble when they are in power, and that day is coming.

10) But there are not only terrorists! In Europe there is also a problem of “clash of civilizations” even domestic, everyday. How do you solve?

Enforce the principle that one law applies for all people. Do not allow Sharia enclaves.

11) According to her, why young Europeans are radicalized?

Young Muslims in Europe are radicalized because they see jihad activity as their duty, mandated in the Quran and Sunnah.

12) What are the most urgent moves to beat Isis?

Ground forces, along with a concerted effort to combat the genuine ideological roots of ISIS’ appeal. The West can never do that now because Western leaders deny the existence of those roots.

      LIST of HATE and VIOLENCE FROM ISLAM’S DOCTRINE OF HATE

      Al Walaa wal Baraa is the best supported doctrine in Islam. Al Walaa wal Baraa is the doctrine of Islamic apartheid.

      Koran 28:86 “Do not support the kafireen in any way.”
      Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
      Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
      Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
      Koran 4: 101 “The kuffar are for you a clear enemy.”
      Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
      Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.” ()
      Koran 3: 118 “O you who believe! Do not take into your intimacy those outside your ranks. They will not fail to corrupt you.”

      Examples of al-Baraa from historic figures:

      -from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624).
      “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”

      -from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”:
      “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”

      -from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”:
      “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”

      -from “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib:

      …“[iv] to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”
      (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or hatred towards the kufaar)

    We will never be at peace as long as there are Muslims in the UK. Sharia is the goal of every Muslim who calls himself a Muslim. Their numbers are increasing rapidly.

    1.High birthrate
    2.Continued immigration
    3.Family unification
    4. Spouses fetched on a regular basis from abroad.

    If Muslims are asked if they support Sharia, they answer evasively that Sharia is only for Muslim nations. But the answer is clear. Once they are a majority in any part of the West, Sharia is inevitable. Its not the Jihadis that are the existential threat, but the large Muslim community, whose numbers are growing exponentially. Sooner or later, they will be numerous enough to install Sharia via parliament. This will be the end Western civilisation.

    There really is no solution except to admit that it is impossible for any non-Muslim society to live in peace, and without fear of sharia, with a Muslim component. Sooner of later, once the Muslim demographic is large enough, terrorism kicks in, and the inevitable sharia.

    Like many, I used to love travelling by air. Not so anymore. Muslims have totally ruined what is one of the greatest pleasures for humans.

    • pdxnag says

      Dec 6, 2015 at 2:03 pm

      Yeah, numbers rule. Progress means less Muslims in the West (or anywhere) this year than in the prior year. As sad as that may sound it is just a fact.

    Libero asked: “12) What are the most urgent moves to beat Isis?”

    IMHO…the it is URGENT that Western ELITES learn and master the JIHAD DOCTRINE. Without a thorough knowledge of the canonical JIHAD DOCTRINE of Islam, jihad CANNOT be contained or defeated.

    The reason we are losing is that Western LEADERS steadfastly REFUSE to learn the JIHAD DOCTRINE.

    “Young Muslims in Europe are radicalized because they see jihad activity as their duty, mandated in the Quran and Sunnah.”

    I disagree with this answer.

    As they see jihad activity as their duty, as mandated in Qur’an and sunnah, that is not “radicalization”. It is devotion. It is piety. It is compliance, as they have understood it since childhood.

    I can only wonder what the Italian’s would have thought of such an answer.

    As I watch the Sunday “talking head” shows, the hosts and their guests have all bought into the “radicalization” line.

      Radicalization in the modern parlance seems to be acting upon your beliefs. A Muslim is
      “radicalized” if they actually practice their religion. A moderate Muslim does not practice their religion,
      for the time being. Of course, the “talking heads” you mention are doing their best not to know what
      those beliefs are in the first place and couldn’t discuss them if they did know them, that would be way too radical. Therefore, not practicing their religion is considered practicing their religion and obviously those actually practicing their religion (as in Paris, San Bernardino) must not be. This little song and dance, however, is wearing very thin.

        Jack Diamond,
        Delivered in the right way, some of your comment might make a good comedy bit. Which is not to say it’s not true. On the contrary.

        Mostly there are two kinds in the media. The dimwits who genuinely believe that Islam is a normal religion; and the mealy-mouthed cowards who know something is wrong with Islam but pretend to genuinely believe that it is a normal religion. Then there are a minority in the media who know Islam needs criticism and dish it up.

          “Radicalization” is a bit of a waffle term. It can mean going to the root of something. I believe the word “radical” means “of the root.” But radical can also mean almost the opposite, namely being extreme, unbalanced, and crazy, rather than on-target. In the case of Islam, the two contradictory meanings come together. The root of Islam happens to be extreme, unbalanced, and crazy. The problem with using the word about Islam though is that many in the media intend only the extremism meaning, not the meaning “of the root.” .

    I was posting on J.W. about 10 years ago—Welcome to WW 3. Obama is about to speak tonite about climate control and work place violence–WHAT EVEERRR. He will say I’m gonna come and get your guns and by the way I’m the Marshall thats declaring the law! Isis is now saying that the BIG ONE is coming soon. Newt G. says O’s lack of any action could result in isis taking out a whole American city. Very little time left. Get ever thing you need NOW before your state is divided into 9 districts where you cant buy or sell or even travel to another district in your own state. ALL our Constitutional rights will be suspended and O is in his unending third term he continues to joke about. Did you seriously think there Is going to be an election 2016? What if an E.M.P. takes out our power? Isis brags now that Israel will only exist for 2 more years.——NOW is the time to pray people, pray!

    Maybe it will place some sense in the minds of Italians, and possibly some Europeans. I will say that there will be much criticism for this article, because for some reason, people who lean left, seem to agree with king hussein obama… they love him in Italy.

    Dear Robert,
    should a Mormon/Catholic/Episcopalian bishop enter a public school and claim that he has the right to meet the students during school time, what would happen in the USA ?
    Is this allowed or has a public school (= paid by the public budget) an obligation of neutrality ?
    What are expected the other students not belonging to the denomination of the bishop to do ? Sit down quietly ? Exit their class ?
    A bishop should not pretend he can enter a school whenever he wishes and act as if he were a public authority.
    On this subject the article by «Libero» is not fair.

    I also do not follow the word radicalisation
    When you have a person who follows Mahommad ‘s life and believe in him
    We have a terrorist
    Yet many people wish to be in a state of denial
