Jihad Watch

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

Dec 21, 2015 11:07 am By Robert Spencer

On November 8, 2015, at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Restoration Weekend at the Belmond Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, I spoke about the Modern Man and his response to the jihad threat.

    Awesome presentation Robert. Very timely considering what subsequently happened in Paris and San Barnardino, and the mainstreaming of the conversation as a result of Trump’s “temporary Muslim ban” proposal.

    Brilliant speech Robert, but I think you’re the real modern man facing the biggest challenge of our time, the cruelest ideology ever made up by mankind

    May I make a comment on the anti-Sharia initiatives that several states passed?

    It is important to note that the final version of these initiatives specified that sharia law, or any other foreign law cannot be the basis of any US court decision. In other words, only American (and common) law can be considered by US courts. Foreign law is absolutely no mitigating circumstance or guide to the judgement of US courts.

    Sharia makes a mishmash of individual practices and obligatory laws and punishments. Muslim groups such as CAIR purposely obfuscate the distinction between individual practices and sharia law, and claim that any attempt to limit US courts to US law, is being anti-Muslim.

    Obviously, under these anti-Sharia initiatives, any Muslim would be able to engage in any Muslim religious practice, as long as it did not conflict with US law. For instance, the Koran mandates the beating of one’s wife if one suspects she will be disobedient. The fact that this is a Koran injunction, and thus the most obligatory category of sharia law, would present absolutely no mitigation in US courts.

    This is the goal of the anti-Sharia initiatives, and it is what sets the Muslim groups off so rabidly.

    A very fine delivery from Robert Spencer.

    If there was in place a V.S.Naipaul Award for Clear Thinking and Service to Our Universal Civilisation then I’d like the first recipient to be Mr Spencer as he has exemplified these qualities and his contributions resonate with the spirit of Naipaul’s lifelong writing career.

    The Nobel Prize winning Mr Naipaul will be turning 85 reasonably soon and a piece to commemorate his life long defence of Modern Civilisation would be very touching if someone can find time to piece it together.

    It is a pleasure to hear such clear thinking, so rare anymore.

    Thank you Mr. Spencer.

    I’m not aware of any other international organization that instructs it’s members to stab, attack, run over, rape or murder random civilian non-members.

    Shouldn’t that be illegal, and a high priority for law enforcement?

    Mr. Modern Man needs to get his head out of his ass.

    Does a pause in welcoming yet more organization members make sense?

    Yes.

      “Does a pause in welcoming yet more organization members make sense?”

      Classical response = Hell Yes!

      “Modern” response = Because you posed that question you are obviously a ____, ____, ____, & ethnocentric Islamophobe.

      Bottom line = Not only don’t say it, don’t even think it.(“Oh my God, I’m an anachronism!. How am I ever going to get a date? Get a job? Get a slot in school? Get an apartment? Get a loan? Buy a gun?”)

    Awesome, Robert! Bravo!!!!!

    Reality can be a lonely place for us that see the threat closing in.

    Thanks for all you do to sound the alarm.

    Thanks Mr. Spencer for recapping the aims of an ideology, whose insults are ignored by the “Modern Man” that fails to respect other human life boundaries.

    Established boundary’s means nothing to Muslim’s: “My boundary is mine and your boundaries are mine also” is their given quest embedded in their mindset here in America and the entire world for that matter of fact!

    Under-minding our established American culture has to STOP!

    Anyone overstepping ones God given human boundaries happens to be the greatest insult that man will never tolerate.

    Human life boundaries: # Faith, Dignity/Respect, Love and Stewardship Responsibilities.

    I’ve followed you, Robert for some time and you are an inspiration and you give me the strength to speak out about the evils of Islam. I’ve realised the simple truth that most don’t have the faintest notion of what Islam is all about and no idea of what’s in that terrorist operatives manual, AKA the Qur’an.
    Just one note, though…… We are not all dumb Dhimmi Brits over here in Blighty and David Cameron is more subtle than you give him credit for. Witness Merkels Million Muslim Marauders vs Cameron’s hand picked 20,000 over five years.
    Keep up the great work. You are in my prayers.

    I hope the new president makes getting any and all Muslim brotherhood organizations like CAIR that have proven ties to Muslim extremism and terrorist organizations take heed to the FBI’s and other country’s findings and close them permanently down! If Hillary becomes president however, I know this will not be the case.

    Great speech! However, I think that I need to point out two significant roles that Muslims played in the early years of this country. One was that Muslims acted as middlemen in bringing slaves to the Americas for which they should be utterly despised. The other was the Barbary wars in the early 19th century because the Barbary pirates were enslaving people captured on American ships and demanding ransom for them based on Islamic law. Further, in the early years of our nation the federal government had to pay a large amount of American treasure as tribute to the Barbary countries to prevent that from happening. Jefferson decided that he had enough, built up the navy, and sent it to the Barbary coast to end the nonsense. That was the first Barbary war. Thanks to it this country created a navy and officers that was able to defeat the British. A second Barbary war had to be fought to finally end the problem. These are the events for which Muslims should be remembered.

    • Edward says

      Dec 22, 2015 at 10:15 pm

      Amen to that!

      That’s why the Liberals want to delete all history records of events prior to the US Civil War (1861 to 1865).

    This is a great speech and answers to questions that everybody in USA, Europe and Australia must see. however, Mr. robert Spencer is too generous with Obama, still giving him a benefit of doubt, which should be abandoned, as there is enough evidence to convict Barack Hussein Obama for treason in a courts of law.

    Also, we must go on attack against the HATE speech of Koran, Hadith and Sira-life of Mohamed (www.cspipublishing.com/pdfs/AtwoHourKoran.pdf). We should sue all the mosques and other Islamic front organizations such as CAIR, ISNA and others for their HATE speech, which results in terrorism, as such hate speech is NOT protected by the First Amandment of the US Constitution.

    We are planning to file a class action suit in Federal court against Barack Hussein Obama for endangering US and causing US people damages by his fawning over Koran and Islam and defending criminal Mohamed at the UN in 2012, which had inspired Muslim terrorists all over the world SUE!
