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

Video: Robert Spencer speaks on the Syrian refugee crisis and the Islamic idea of hijrah

Dec 26, 2015 7:36 pm By Robert Spencer

On December 18, 2015, I spoke at an ACT for America meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the national security implications of the Syrian refugee crisis.

    So glad you’re in Minn. It is a hotbed of liberalism. They need the message about islam and hijrah. Thank you, Mr. Spencer.

    The Republican candidate who is best on message about “refugees” being potential jihadists will probably win in early Iowa and New Hampshire caucus votes.

    As a senior-citizen EX-DEMOCRAT who despises Hillary Clinton — Ted Cruz gets my support for his position about this national security breach.

      Yes, we can be sure that no Democrat is going to protect us from Islamic terrorism or crimes by illegal alien criminals. We know that the Democrats will not secure our borders, will not deport illegal alien criminals, will not investigate radical mosques, will not stop Muslim immigration, nor will they deport Muslim troublemakers. I agree that Cruz is the best of the GOP candidates, but any of them would be better than any of the Democrat candidates. Vote GOP in the next election.

    Jihad-Hegira is a single doctrine because they are normative Islamic DUALISM.

    In Islam, each doctrine is paired with another contradictory doctrine to which it submits. That is why nothing in Islam is consistent and inherently confusing. Logic says two things that contradict each other cannot be true in the same way and at the same time. Therefore, Islam is false and every Islamic doctrine is false.

    Jihad and hegira are parts of the same swing…forward and back…like all of Islam. Islam invades peacefully if possible and then explodes from within, attacking the host and then poisoning and killing it. Throughout Islamic history poisoning is one the most popular assassination techniques apart from knifing. Many of the caliphs were poisoned or knifed and some were even stabbed with a poisoned knife!

    The hegira of Europe and America are the preliminary steps to the destruction of Western civilization and its replacement with this Bronze Age Death Cult.

      “its replacement with this Bronze Age Death Cult.”

    Do our elites really think Islamic immigration is something needed by Western Civilization or are our elites, both political and economic, or have our elites been purchased by Muslim PetroDollars, mostly from Saudi Arabia?

    The Rockefeller Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund determine, through their systematic funding of the left in the interests of their Saudi partners, the hierarchy multicultural concerns that exempt Islam on the issues of the rights of women and homosexuals.

    Ultimately, Trump is neutralized by his business relationships with Muslim “moneybags.”

    How can Trump continue to make money in partnership with Muslims if he supports Pamela Geller drawing cartoons of Allah and Mohammad.

  10. Lloyd Miller says

    When did the left open to Islam? When the Saudis struck oil? Not exactly! It started when the justice dept. threatened to break the Aramco cartel of Western oil “majors” (the Seven Sisters). David Rockefeller proposed and implemented a plan to get around this: Nationalization of the Western oil holdings in Saudi Arabia and forming OPEC, leaving the Seven Sisters to profit indirectly instead of directly. The Left does exactly what the Rockefellers dictate.

    Dear Mr. Spencer,

    I am sure I speak for all of us in thanking you for posting videos of your brilliant and inspiring speeches on JW. I hope you will continue to do so.

    P.S. I note your brother has gone in his own mind from a moth to a chicken and I will be interested to hear what may come next, before he makes a full and well-deserved recovery of course. Cheers.

    Is Your Local Mosque ‘Moderate’ or ‘Radical’?
    The following is THE BEST approach to the problem of militant Islam I have ever encountered. If it were actually implemented we could seriously begin to address the most pressing problem of our time; Radical Islam.

    The solutions offered are reasonable, realistic and effective for identifying who the enemies of a more peaceful world are.

    Dr. Hamid has done us a great service; if we will listen.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    It ha become an urgent necessity to distinguish ‘Moderate’ from ‘Radical’ Islam. Without making such a distinction the US and the rest of the world will remain divided regarding this issue. Debates about the issue can be endless unless we define the words ‘radical’ and ‘moderate’.

    Mosque leaders, Islamic scholars, and organizations who want to be considered Moderates MUST clearly and unambiguously declare the following declaration in their media outlets and on their websites.

    Declaration of Beliefs of Muslim Moderates:

    We are Muslims who want contemporary understandings of Islam to replace currently predominant harsh and radical (Salafi/Wahabbi) interpretations of our religion. We therefore declare that:

    1. Redda Law, the Sharia Law that allows the killing of Muslims who convert to other faiths, must be banned in Islamic teachings and in Sharia legal doctrine.

    * Islamic countries that practice Sharia must stop the practice of this law and must admit that Freedom of belief and the right to convert to other faith or believe is a basic right that must be given to all Muslims.

    2. Current mainstream Sharia doctrines justify the use of violence against women; these teachings must be ended by reinterpreting the Islamic text that justifies such violence.

    * They encourage men to beat their wives to discipline them.
    * They allow women accused of adultery to be stoned to death.
    * These doctrines are barbarically inhumane, non-egalitarian, and teach Muslim children to be violent.

    3. Traditional Sharia doctrines teach Muslims that they must engage in war so that Islam will dominate the world. This understanding of Jihad that seeks domination of Islam over other peoples must no longer be regarded as an Islamic value and its teaching as a duty for Muslims must end.

    * When Islam becomes dominant, Non-Muslims are offered three options:

    1. to convert to Islam
    2. to pay Jizzia (a humiliating tax)
    3. to be killed

    * These doctrines run contrary to modern respect for diversity and for personal freedom of speech and belief.
    * The early Islamic wars known as “Futohaat Islameia” were fought to implement this doctrine of Jihad.

    o These wars therefore should now be regarded as un-Islamic and un-justifiable.

    4. Jews are individuals who deserve the same respect accorded to all individuals. All Islamic teachings that encourage anti-Semitic attitudes, violence or disrespect toward Jews must be declared un-Islamic.

    * They should not be called “pigs and monkeys.”
    * The Islamic teaching that Muslims must fight and kill all Jews before the end of days is totally incorrect and unacceptable as it does not exist in the Quran.

    5. Slavery is a crime against humanity. All Sharia laws that justify slavery in our modern times must not be taught any more.

    * Muslim scholars must have a clear and loud voice against slavery.

    6. Islamic Sharia laws currently permit the killing homosexuals. They must be declared un-Islamic and their implementation must be considered criminal.

    * These laws also are advocating a crime against our fellow human beings.

    Signed,
    Dr. Tawfik Hamid

    The above violent teachings, which currently are taught in mainstream Islamic books in America, are implemented in countries that allow governance according to Sharia Law. Future Muslim generations must be protected from these destructive doctrines, interpretations and customs.

    These violent Sharia doctrines must be replaced with clear and unconditional explanations of why they no longer are valid.

    Anything short of a fully clear and unequivocal stand against these doctrines indicates passive approval. Therefore, all Islamic leaders who genuinely consider themselves to be Muslim moderates must post these principles in English and in Arabic in full public view on their websites and declare them in their media outlets.

    Failure to publically post and support these principles should be interpreted as clear evidence that a leader’s mosque or Islamic organization must be considered radical.

    Is Your Local Mosque ‘Moderate’ or ‘Radical’? By Dr. Tawfik Hamid, Muslim reformer, CI Centre instructor and author of Inside Jihad: Understanding and Confronting Radical Islam and The Roots of Jihad

    Another great talk Robert. Many of us Catholics are sick of political clericalism that forgets it’s job of salvation of souls. You have many of us “grass roots” movement trying to pray rosary like in the days of Battle of Lepanto, it is difficult to have a leader who is unwilling to recognize worldly and spiritual dangers. Your critiques on the bishops are apt and many of us do not wish to fall on our swords for these sad leaders words. So please use your intellect that God has endowed you with to help us navigate these stormy seas. It is because you are Catholic I know I can solidly trust your reason, thank you for all that you do.
