Jihad Watch

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

Video: Robert Spencer Moment: The Criminalization of Dissent

Dec 19, 2015 10:10 am By Robert Spencer

I filmed this “Robert Spencer Moment” for Jamie Glazov’s Glazov Gang on some recent experiences that I have had, showing how those who reject establishment views are coming under increased law enforcement scrutiny.

Jamie Glazov adds:

Don’t miss it!

And make sure to watch Robert on the Glazov Gang discuss To Flood America With Muslim Refugees, where he exposes the real meaning of the Islamic State threatening to flood Europe with 500,000 refugees in February, 2015: CLICK HERE.

          We must support the freedom of speech to criticize all religions, and political system. Islam is by far the most violent religion and the most misogynistic religion in the world today. Islam is also the worst politicals system in the world today.

    Very true Dr. Spencer. The same nauseating playbook used in other places including Canada, India and Australia. Ply society with the fake idea of tolerance in an alliance with the left wing fools, which is to make everyone into a self censoring drone, while one segment of society, aka the Islamists start their game of “being hurt”, create no-go areas, run their own edicts in defiance of local laws and impose sharia.

    What happened to you in Canada could have happened anywhere else. India was the first country to ban Rushdie’s Satanic Verses. What did that bring us? The Islamo-Fascists have been bombing , shooting and maiming tens of thousands of people regardless.

    You never asked for exterminating anyone. So where was hate in your speech? You merely highlighted the hatred in the religion of Islam. Since when is that promoting hatred?

      Indeed. First they decide what is politically correct. Then, they decide what don’t like to hear. Then, they decide that is ‘feels’ illegal to say what they don’t like…or should be illegal. Then, they decide that it ‘must be illegal’ to say what they don’t want to hear. Then, they send out their Storm Troopers to shut down views they don’t want to hear.

      Then, the government begins to arrest the ‘enemies of the state’. Then we are in trouble…the Black Fascists have taken over.

      Question the Black Fascists, before they question you.

    Welcome to the party Robert, you’ve awakened. A week ago, we heard testimony from Jeh Johnson (DHS chief) that while they decided against checking into the social media posts of visa applicants (and therefore did not catch the San Bernadino witch), they are watching the social media of American citizens. So, while the barbarians are at the gate, the focus is on the American panopticon.

    I know many over the years have considered Alex Jones (infowars) a conspiracy nut. May I suggest that you spend some time listening to hist broadcasts, watching his films, and reading his reports. In your awakened state, you might come to appreciate what he is warning about. Finally, if you get on board, I’m sure Alex would love to have you on as a guest. You’d be very welcome in the infowar, as you are very respected by many there.

        Everybody hate Jews, even the Jews. Most of ’em, at least. C’mon WJ, you know that. Sit down at a yellow legal pad in front of the crackling fire and draw up a list of all the massive crimes against humanity Jews committed in the 4,000 yrs leading up to Adolph. There ya go. For me one crime they committed is particularly egregious, but this is a family blog so I won’t mention it.

        • wildjew says

          Dec 19, 2015 at 2:14 pm

          APF, I don’t know what crimes against humanity Jews committed in the 4,000 years leading up to Adolf other than the crimes Moses and the other prophets spoke of; namely not keeping God’s law, rejecting His statutes; worshiping other gods. Worshiping he odious Obama god and Hillary god and other abominations. What would you recommend as a fair punishment for Abraham in the world to come for the particularly egregious act of adultery?

          “The Whites” didn’t kill Martin Luther King. *A* white man did that.

          “The Christians” didn’t burn “witches” at the stake. *Some* Christians burned “witches” at the stake.

          I was kidding. The Jews have a totally clean slate. Their rap sheet is clean. That’s one reason why they’re always the fall guy. The only crime they’ve committed is being smarter. Take a look at the Nobel prize winner list for physics and you see why Mohammed hated Jews with a passion, why antisemitism is a foundation stone of Islam.

    I have no doubt that the 3 hours of interrogation Robert was given (mentioned at 5:08 in this Glazov video) on his last trip to Canada was due to Trudeau’s personal directive for border agents.

    Many kudos and earnest prayers for Robert Spencer’s mission, the purveyor of the truth and the reasoning virtue of prudence!

    Prudence >meaning seeing ahead, it’s sagacity in action. Arming our abilities to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason to prevent future unwarranted dilemma(s):

    The worldwide flooding of the KORANIC maligned MANDATED hateful and murderous idiocies of the Islamic ideology!

    And other impositions I should note!

    Abu Afak, Asma Marwan, Salman Rushdie, Theo Van Gogh, Oriana Fallaci, Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Molly Norris… some executed for slandering Allah and the Holy Prophet, others forced into hiding. If you look at Spencer and the scope of his crimes, if Attorney General Loretta Lynch comes after him we may never see the guy again. He’d be cast into the lower bowels of some supermax federal prison somewhere. And by the lights of Islam, or the lights of “progressivism”, the guy’d richly deserve it.

      Robert,this will be the longest year of my life untll I know Oz has left the house, and the threat of speaking the truth will not cause imprisonment. This is all insanity to me. The words are clearly written and how anyone could deny the truth proves to me our government has already been subverted by those who refuse to allow a person to speak about reality. Thats power…of influence. However I have a suspicion that someone who is currently aware there is a problem with Islam, has recently spoken about the tenacity of isis, all he has to do is connect the dots with doctrine, which he may already know.

      So, the statement by Lynch, the ink dried on a new ,addendum to our free speech.. This was her noticfication Scary stuff,. Mr. Spencer, no one needs to go thru this ….you speak with documented facts..and the facts are threatening. Thank you for all you do.

    I am from Canada and it is tense up here. The majority of Canadians do not want Muslims in this country. The media and politicians keep force feeding us that everything is okay despite the numerous attacks.The CBC continuosly broadcasts muslilm propoganda which is making us Canadians totally irate considering that the CBC is funded by the taxpayers of Canada. The CBC just keeps on lying to Canadians. There are muslims who live in my building and they are very difficult to deal with. There is no such thing as a moderate muslim. They all the same.

    Hi Robert,
    Sagunto here from the city of Theo van Gogh (whose name you almost pronounced correctly, at least the Theo part 😉

    Over here in Holland, we’ve known for some time now that freedom of speech isn’t just something that the state can’t guarantee, it has become something the authorities are actively opposed to. I’m glad you’ve taken the opportunity to explicitly warn people about the dangers of a police state. An entity that seems hell bent on encouraging those who destabilize our societies, while keeping those who oppose the dismantling of Western culture under ever closer scrutiny, as if standing tall for freedom and the rule of law actually poses some sort of threat.

    I know you don’t need to hear it from me, or anyone else for that matter, but I have to say it once in a while: keep up the good work (certa bonum certamen!)

    Kind regs & respect from Amsterdam,

        Ok Kepha, here goes: vun.. [now imagine having a brick on a leash and dragging it across the street] that’s your Dutch, open mouth, tongue raised in back of throat, grinding guttural “G” right there (nothing like the dj sound produced in English; more like the “ch” in “lechaim”). Then onto the “o”, as short as the first o in Bon Jovi and not the second one most English speakers use (still the first o has too much of a Dutch “a” or an English “u” as in “fun” sound; the short “o” is more reminiscent of the playful utterances of chimps when they’re happy). Then to not exactly “round it off”, we’re got the exact same chiselled Dutch coffee grinding “G” as the first one. Inexperienced users of the Dutch pronunciation have the urge to spit after this double G attack on their throats, and that’s just fine. Just try it in private first, before you go out in public and grind the hell out of each G in conversation. //tutorial here//

        Cheers,
        Sag.

    Being in my mid-seventies, I recall the days when airline travel was a most enjoyable experience. One could arrive at the airport and simply walk down to the departure gate no questions asked. Same if you were meeting someone on an arriving flight. Those days are gone forever, and sadly fewer and fewer people even know that this was once the norm.

    Whenever I travel nowadays, be it by air or rail, I always get depressed by the scenes at the terminals. Police officers dressed up SWAT gear, German Shepard’s, and all the rest. I think what bothers me the most is that so many people really haven’t given any thought as to how this depressing state of affairs came to be in the first place. It never occurs to them just how much our society has already been altered as a direct result of Islamic jihad, both the violent kind and the so-called stealth kind.

    Dec 19, 2015 at 3:20 pm

    Thank you, Robert. This “Robert Spencer Moment” was *very* informative. And it’s crazy to think that speaking the simple truth about islam has become unpopular among the elite, etc, and that it’s turned you into some sort of a ..criminal. Which in turn could make all of us criminals–those of us whom also embrace and speak the unvarnished truth about islam, as well. Mind-blowing, really. But not surprising.

    I’m reminded of this passage from the Bible …

    “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” — Isaiah 5:20

  14. SoCalMike says

    Dec 19, 2015 at 4:25 pm

    Scary thing is you can see this thought criminalization occur at the grass roots level in popular culture today.
    Telling the truth about Islamic Jihad scares the daylights so much out of today’s conformed 20-30 something hipsters, they instinctively just dismiss you as a racist or xenophobe or Islamophobe for connecting Islamic violence to its source.

  15. Paul says

    Dec 19, 2015 at 5:52 pm

    Fools. As if making life difficult for Robert Spencer will somehow stop
    the eternal call for jihadi terror and people’s resistance to it, as well as
    muslims finding out the truth about their deeply unpleasant ‘religion’ and
    leaving the damned thing. You politically correct evil enabling cowards
    may as well just leave him to it, because you can’t put a lid on this and it
    is only going to intensify. We will remember you all and you will not be forgiven.

    • Edward says

      Dec 19, 2015 at 7:50 pm

      Sir you are making yourself a damn fool, by making such a statement:

      “You politically correct evil enabling cowards may as well just leave him to it, because you can’t put a lid on this and it is only going to intensify.”

      Sir, you thoroughly lack courage and a prudent mindset. A comment like yours only emboldens the Islamic adherents and directly undermines Mr. Spencer’s works.

      “We will remember you all and you will not be forgiven.”

      BTW, by whose authority do you have to judge us as you have? If you have the courage to say to whom your allegiance is allied to, please say so!

      • Paul says

        Dec 19, 2015 at 11:04 pm

        You are deliberately taking my words out of context and making
        this very personal indeed.
        My “allegiance” is to all those – like Robert Spencer – who proclaim
        the truth about what is happening. I would never want to “directly
        undermine” anybody who does so. And no, I didn’t need much
        “courage” to state my position on this.
        As for the not being forgiven bit, I will try to clarify it very slowly
        and patiently so that even you might understand. Global jihad
        is increasing. Corrupt Western politically correct ‘elites’ are, in turn,
        doubling down with their crackdown on dissent and persecution
        of those who tell the truth. All pretence of law and order will
        eventually dissolve amidst a violent backlash against the
        devastation of increased jihadi activity. Unprecedented bloodshed
        that could easily have been avoided had people like Robert
        Spencer not been stifled by them in their efforts to warn people
        about what we are up against. Those responsible are on a
        par with Nazi collaborators during World War Two. It’s like
        history is repeating itself, but this time it will be much worse.
        I would say that is pretty unforgivable.
        I know you’ll still deliberately misunderstand and I expect
        nothing less than another childish ad hominem attack from
        you. I know you won’t let me down! Over to you…

      Dec 20, 2015 at 12:47 am

      @Edward
      The above was a rant directed at those who are trying to silence
      Robert Spencer and criminalise free speech – from start to finish.
      Though this may admittedly have been unclear, there’s no reason why
      I would have suddenly changed course so drastically halfway through!
      I hope this clears things up.

    “… those who reject establishment views are coming under increased law enforcement scrutiny…”

    The PC establishment are so deluded in their thinking about Islamic Terrorism that they regularly confuse cause and effect, believing that those who probe into and are critical of relevant Islamic beliefs, are inflaming the sentiments of Jihadists and pushing them further along the road of violent action.

    Of course, they are choosing to ignore the very long and violent history of Islamic Conquest that preceded the post 9/11 contributions of concerned citizens and commentators such as can be found in Jihad Watch and elsewhere.

    In fact, an administration or social institution interested in engaging afresh with the new era of global jihad violence, would find the archives of Jihad Watch and one or two other websites, useful treasure troves of information and fresh insights.

  17. R Cole says

    Dec 19, 2015 at 8:09 pm

    That was really good.

    This is more to the Left’s narrative. That being that the violence committed by Muslims on western citizens has nothing to do with Islamic scripture and more this fictitious “Islamophobia.”

    After the Charlie Hebdo attacks the Leftwing French government bet on “Islamophobia” as the reason for the attacks.

    While holding hands publicly saying we are Charlie Hebdo – behind the scenes they sought to criminalize criticism of even the most extreme Islamic figures – such was the case when a French policeman was fined and suspended from his job for mocking Al-Baghdadi the ISIS Imam-leader – on his facebook page. In court the policeman was even accused of being insane!

    The Left believe that westerners are bringing about the Islamic attacks.

    It’s the red pill or the blue pill.

    With French citizens inline – there is no reason for Muslims to become ‘radicalised’ and go on a shooting spree – we could all be assured – once again.

    But that did not happen – this time the French jihadists broadened their attacks – hitting three different locations – almost targeting the French President himself. And so emboldened these terrorists were – so dependent on western society’s self-hating introspective look at “Islamophobia” – they readied themselves for a second attack – this time the Paris business district – to be carried out within the next few days

    The second time the French President got clued up – declared war on them. Realizing that no one needs to do anything to be attacked by Muslim fanatics

    ::

    But Obama is still betting on it.
    And the misguided PC fantasy is being reinforced.

    ::

    Look how long it took Obama to deliver anything like an appropriate response to the San Bernardino attacks.

    And how offensive is it to raise the subject of Islamophobia after that? As one of the Republican Presidential candidates said – in the first half of the debate – those shot in SB – just had lunch with the guy.

    The level of detachment is real.

    But while Obama and Hilary talk about the trouble with ‘Islamophobia’ – Disney, and now Sea World installed – metal detectors.

    What you have is a rights group – with clear personal and political bias – effectively running national security.

    No wonder things look so upside down.

    Witness the fraud of GovMedia.
    Constantly non-stop addressing fake non-existent problems while creating new ones that didn’t exist or existing ones and making them worse while ignoring real ones, then showing up to fix everything the just made worse.
    And demanding the right to force themselves on you at the point of a gun.

    Theologically these are neo-Pagan cannibals. Back in the 20th century we called them communists and fascists.
    This con has been going on at least ever since Obama and Hillary got away with scapegoating that no named film maker for their own disaster in Benghazi. Probably long before.
    Obama and Hillary have been exacting revenge on us not because of our vices but because of our virtues.
    They are trash and know it.

    Robert : Your problem is really being caused by your allowance of some people in this ‘movement’ to express their hatred of Muslims – you do not hate the Muslims, you are disgusted with Islam itself, that is very different ! That is what is the problem is with a lot of your supporters – they cannot tell the difference between those 2 concepts and the low-intelligence of these people causes them to simply become terrorists themselves – from the opposite perspective – and it is THAT that is causing your problems – why not make it quite clear to your followers that you are NOT trying to get therm all stirred up about ‘those Muslims’ – you are trying to point out the failings of that ‘religion’ called Islam. Keep the crazy ‘nuts’ tamped down so THEY do not ruin your message & cause you grief !!!!

    “Criminalizing Dissent” = totalitarian fascism. Submit or Die.

    By design, America is being destroyed by the political and pundit class on behalf of the globalists. The globalists’ goal is to eliminate borders; and to do this they intend to swarm all nations with people of other races, from other cultures, nationalities and even religions, so that people of civilized and established nations lose their cultural and nationalist identities and become homogenized. The argument can then be made that, since a nation now has no cultural or racial identity, borders are irrelevant.

    In a world without borders, people become world citizens. World citizens need world government.

    The best way to rule and control others, is to convince them they aren’t capable of managing them selves, and the best way to do that is to convince them they are all helpless victims. Even better is to convince them they are dangerous helpless victims, who should never try to defend them selves.

    Which is both how and why the enemedia endlessly shames us all as potential racists all the time, and insists we import hordes of swarthy savages who we know want to murder and enslave us, to make up for it.

    Robert,

    Keep up the good work in reporting on the truth of the Jihad threat. Clearly the Islamo-Nazi regime is having fits when it is undeniable that they are on the side of our enemies in Syria, Iraq and at home.
    Dark times indeed.

    Jamie,

    Thanks for having Robert on.

    Off topic:
    Looking forward to seeing 13 hours, heard a great interview of the patriots who saved 20+ US citizens even though they were given the order to stand down, maybe there is hope that Hillary can be stopped…

    It’s easy to understand the world. Basically, you may not say or do anything not in line with, or anything that can be interpreted as not in line with the principles of the GCPC (global council for political correctness), the MFM (militant feminist movement) or GALRO (gay and lesbian rights organization). As you know, they all preach tolerance, except for anything not in line with their viewpoints. Simple, really.

    Who decides what is hate speech? What is the legal definition for hate speech in the US? Or England? Or Germany? Or France?
    We presently face direct attacks on free speech in many countries, not least of which are the murderous attacks on Charlie Hebdo Paris this past January, and the separate murders of seven Bangladeshi secularists ( two publishers and five journalists ).

    But there are broader and deeper problems in the West than threats and violence from the direct opponents of the free societies. It is the general context of public communication that is under severe strain.
    Governments can and do seek to seriously limit free speech and even punish those who criticize religious belief systems.

    This year Germany has moved to have Facebook shut down criticism of Islam, and a French police officer was removed from his job for two years simply because he criticized the Caliph al-Baghdadi of Islamic State, a direct enemy of the French people.
    In the US, Attorney General Lynch has vowed to prosecute ‘anti-Muslim’ speech.

    I oppose Islamic jihad and Islamic Sharia theocracy.
    Technically that is anti-Muslim. And many tens of millions in the US also certainly also oppose Islamic jihad and Islamic Sharia law.
    Opposing Sharia law is loyalty to the American constitution and Bill of Rights.
    Supporting Sharia law is opposition to the American constitution and Bill of Rights.

    Why are support for the constitution and Bill of Rights against the law when they ARE the law?
    Why are Islamic jihad and Islamic Sharia to be protected when they are direct primary enemies of our nation on all levels?
    This makes no sense. But this is the reality we face today.

    Robert Spencer meets the highest standard of respect for individuals and peoples everywhere. He affirms that he supports the UN Declaration of Human Rights ( UNDHR ) , freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly.
    I support Robert Spencer and all those who support the UNDHR and who reject Islamic jihad and Islamic Sharia law.
    Free speech is under attack on all levels and from many directions.
    It is only by defending free speech that we can defend western civilization.
    Free speech is the primary weapon of those who defend the open society and the progress made over the last thousand years.
    We have to defend free speech or we are lost.

    Stephane Charbonnier of Charlie Hebdo ( Paris ) said “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” He was gunned down by jihadis in January.
    This post is dedicated to Stephane Charbonnier.
    And this Robert Spencer statement has been shared out to many people.

    Amazon.com blocks AFDI as a 501(c)3 participant in its AmazonSmile program.

    Why? I learned the reason after two follow-up email messages: SPLC lists AFDI as a hate group, and Amazon uses SPLC to black-list charities that SPLC hates.

    Talk about hate-speech!
