Jihad Watch

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

Video: Robert Spencer on Fox News on Philadelphia jihad shooting and Cologne Muslim sex assaults

Jan 11, 2016 8:20 am By Robert Spencer

Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer appeared on Fox’s America’s HQ with Uma Pemmaraju on January 9, 2016 to discuss the jihad shooting of a Philadelphia policeman, the mass sex assaults by Muslims in Cologne, Germany and other cities on New Year’s Eve, and the authorities’ denial of the jihad motive.

    The “Democratic” Party just echos the directives of the Muslim Brotherhood. They all have the same script.

    • Jay Boo says

      Jan 11, 2016 at 9:13 am

      Yes, they all have the same script.

      The mayors must be psychic to know ahead of time that it is never Islam.
      Why don’t the mayors begin every day by announcing in advance that whatever violence happens that day that the cause has nothing to do with Islam?

      • Shane says

        The Democrat party is the dhimmi party which is on the side of the Islamists and illegal aliens. The Dem politicians will not deport illegal alien criminals,nor will they investigate mosques. Time to elect a GOP president who will deal with the Muslim and illegal aliens problem with Trump or Cruz being the most trustworthy on those issues.

      Yes. They use the same cultural Marxist script: ‘Our noble savage allies the Muslims are the good savages and Islam is just like Leftist liberalism. Of course, only we cultural Marxists understand that Islam is like Leftist liberalism…and we don’t need to read books to know it.’

      Cultural Marxists are Pied Pipers leading us down the garden path. The cultural Marxists need to 1) TAKE OFF their ideological BLINKERS 2) READ about the JIHAD DOCTRINE 3) Connect the dots.

    Mr, Spencer:

    I’ve noticed of late how grim your facial expression is.

    With good cause!

    The West is losing.

    • Jay Boo says

      Always On Watch,
      I do not see that.
      I see determination and sincerity.
      We all should strive to emulate such behavior rather that throwing in the towel of defeatism.

      • wildjew says

        Jan 11, 2016 at 9:36 am

        Jay Boo, I don’t see defeatism in Always On Watch’s comment. I see a person who is facing reality. Of course we continue to fight to the bitter end — we never “throw in the towel” — but we must be honest with respect to the trends we are seeing in Europe, followed by the U.S. Trends do not look good. I have yet to see an honest leader even in the 2016 Republican field. Obviously some are better (some are worse) than others.

        Even Donald Trump whose supporters maintain he gets Islam, wants to negotiate a murderous Muslim-enemy state in Israel. Furthermore Trump said he would negotiate a better deal with the murderous Iranian regime. Something Mr. Trump does not appear to understand (Churchill did understand it), there are some peoples and regimes that are so murderous and criminal you do not engage them in negotiations in the first instance. The only thing they understand is force at the point of a gun.

          Wildjew,
          Thank you for coming to my defense.

          Until more people are more directly affected, the ostriching will occur.

          But there are some awakenings happening — and we aren’t hearing about them except via anecdotes from our acquaintances.

          For years, I’ve been trying to wake up a particular homeschool parent to the threat of Islam.

          She just woke up!

          Just this week her daughter was accosted by a Moslem right here in Northern Virginia. The young woman was dressing in a sweatsuit, but apparently she wasn’t wearing “full coverage” socks.

          A Moslem man came up to her in a gas station and started screaming at her: “Your ankle is showing! Your ankle is showing.”

          Fortunately, three burly American men came to her rescue.

          The young lady went home and berated her mother: “You told me I am safe here in America. I’m not!”

          Both the young lady and her mother realize that what happened was a close call. The young lady could have had her throat slit or her head lopped off right there in the gas station.

      • Always On Watch says

        Jan 11, 2016 at 12:05 pm

        Don’t misunderstand. I refuse to be defeated.

        But the West is losing right now.

        Things will have to get a lot worse before they even start getting better.

          @ Always on Watch – and this happened during the winter
          months. Can you imagine what will happen in the summer when women wear less clothing!

        • Western Canadian says

          Jan 11, 2016 at 8:07 pm

          If losing, only because fighting back has yet to begin. And when (sadly, if we are allowed to), we will win. Period.

    Roberts talk was good; however, it might have more impact if he could have gone into some detail regarding the dual nature of Islam. For example: Is Islam a religion a religion of peace? Well, yes – if you only read the early part of the Koran. If you read the later parts of the Koran, then the Koran gives a blueprint for conquest, violence, and death. Now the key thing is that the later violent verses are to replace the earlier peaceful verses. So the Koran can be peaceful or violent depends on how much of it you read.
    This point should be driven home since it gives a partial explanation as to why so many people think that Islam is a religion of peace.

    • Jay Boo says

      Jan 11, 2016 at 9:23 am

      Islam is exceedingly vulnerable when it is laid bare for all to see.
      That is why Muslims go through such contortions to disguise it.
      They follow Muhammad’s disgraceful example.

      • underbed cat says

        Jan 11, 2016 at 12:32 pm

        Thank you Uma Pemmaraju for interviewing Robert Spencer and dealing with this denial by the Mayor Kenney of Phili, to the confession of the shooter. The statement by the Police Captain James Clark, that the alleged gunman had “pledged his allegiance to islamic state and he follows allah”, was very courageous and truthful, and politically incorrect according to most politicians.

        Thank you, Robert Spencer great interview….I saw the chuckle when the Uma stated that “it looks like now politics is getting in( the way of) threat assessment, yep especially after they turn to the “outreach programs” to get facts. I agree with Jay Boo says: Jan 11, “Islam is exceedingly vulnerable when it is laid bare for all to see.” That is perfect short summation, and the readers of Jihad Watch have learned from Robert.

    • jihad3tracker says

      Jan 11, 2016 at 9:30 am

      Robert does not decide how much time he gets for responses on topics being discussed. Here, however, thanks to FOX, there was a generous six minutes. On leftist political-coward media, his total minutes for interviews has been quite a bit less —- ZERO, TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION.

      In this segment, unfortunately, abrogation of early verses by later ones would have taken the interview off-point. BUT, BE THANKFUL: WE HAD A HOLY SH*T MOMENT WHEN THE POLICE CHIEF (AT 42 SECONDS INTO THE VIDEO) said that Archer attempted the murder FOR ALLAH ! ! !

      Whoever was watching heard the truth —- that is a once in a lifetime occurrence in our 21st Century idiotocracy which the United States has become. So get down on your knees and utter a prayer for a small nugget of reality landing in the mainstream media’s swamp of delusion.

      • PRCS says

        Jan 11, 2016 at 11:33 am

        Until this past Friday, that swamp of delusion has included EVERY politician, educator, pundit, military leader, and top cop I’ve seen on television, heard on the radio, or whose statements I’ve read–since at least 9/11/01.

        Until those folks are told–unequivocally–that the “radical/radicalized/perversion of Islam” mantra they parrot is actually the written, Orthodox Islam which Muslims are expected to comply with–upon pain of punishment–the general public will continue to be misinformed about Islam’s true teachings and intent.

        And how did “radical Islamic terrorism” so quickly become the euphemism du jour amongst clueless “news personalities” and agenda driven politicians?

        How many times can Ted Cruz say “radical Islamic terrorism” in a single interview?

        And, terrorism? Are we really worried about being attacked by Basque separatists?

        • Atheist7 says

          Jan 11, 2016 at 11:58 am

          FRCS, I wonder, would not it be more accurate to simply say “Islamic Terrorism” and not “Radical Islamic Terrorism”? Blowing up stuff and killing infidels is what jihidists are supposed to do. It is SOP – not radical at all. What is radical is changing the Koran and following only the Muhammad of Mecca. Now that is really radical – and it can also get you branded as an apostate and killed.

          Jan 11, 2016 at 12:27 pm

          Hello PRCS — This is for Atheist7, but the blog wisely limits “reply” opportunities so trolls cannot waste space with endless back and forth comments.

          PRCS uses the adjective which I have settled on as being best for characterizing Islam’s subjugation and violence: ORTHODOX.

          This is a link for further context: http://www.inquiryintoislam.com/2010/07/orthodox-versus-heterodox-muslims.html

          And, if you have not read this comprehensive item about Muhammad’s masterful strategy for successful growth, use the www [dot] citizenwarrior [dot] com search box to type “The terrifying brilliance of Islam”.

          Jan 11, 2016 at 1:51 pm

          jihad3tracker, Thanks for the website http://www.inquiryintoislam.com/2010/07/three-things-about-islam-video.html
          You are of course correct in that those that are carrying out jihad are orthodox; however, in discussion, I think that reversing roles and saying that the peaceful Muslims are the radical ones and the violent Muslims are the business-as-usual guys has some element of humor.
          I love the video. In 8 minutes you get at least 80% of the story. If that 8 minutes could be broadcasted to everyone in America – our civilization could be saved.
          It would be good if the video could be presented in schools, churches and wherever possible so that people could actually learn the truth about Islam.
          2. a video should be made on how Islam has taken over various countries in the past 1400 year and has replaced the indigenous culture with the culture of Islam.
          3. a video could be made on how the implementation of rigorous Islamic doctrine put an end to the “Golden Age of Islam”.
          4. a video could be made on how Islam crushes Scientific Thought. Considering for a moment the huge number of Nobel Prize winners that are Jews and the essentially zero prize winners by Muslim scholars. Relate this to the number of Jews (small) and the number of Muslims (large) in the world.
          Islam is engaging in an incredibly large and successful propaganda campaign of deceit. Could this be countered with a large propaganda campaign of truth?

          Jan 11, 2016 at 1:02 pm

          A7,

          IMO, it would be MUCH better to call IT what IT is:

          Violent jihad.

          Not need for the Islamic qualifier–as jihad is exclusively Islamic.

          And if we’re not really worried about an imminent attack by Basque separatists, the term “Global War on TERROR” is just gutless, PC nonsense.

        • WestwardHo says

          Jan 11, 2016 at 3:25 pm

          I agree, PRCS.

          Another useful language approach is to say

          Activist Islam, which is only carried out by the Activist Muslims, not the Passivist Muslims.

          Activist Islam is jihad.

      Atheist7, not ALL of the earlier portions of the unholy koran were peaceful.

      • Atheist7 says

        Jan 11, 2016 at 9:23 pm

        Western Canadian, My understanding is that when Muhammad was in Mecca, all of his writings were non-violent because he was in the minority. Then, when he moved to Medina, and gained power, his writings became more and more violent. Could you give us more information as to the violent passages in the early Koran?

    Thank you Mr. Spencer for your intelligent and fair-minded assessment of the situation. The denials of these officials regarding islam is so egregious that it’s nothing less than complicity with that faith’s supremacist agenda. And that complicity endangers lives and gainsays our moral objections to islam’s evil agenda, they are incompetent and morally deficient. Mr. Spencer’s unbiased account of islamic jihad effectively highlights the depraved left/islamic alliance and the threat it presents, and that’s a great service to humanity. It’s a good way to start the day, hearing Spencer speak good sense about radical islam. I’m sick of our leaders treating me like a stupid child that doesn’t know right from wrong, or truth from lies. The west is warring against Islamic jihad. It’s time our leaders think realistically about the islamic threat and stop bowing to islam with blatant lies and embarrassing denials. If you ask me to compromise my civil rights and safety but lie about the enemy, then I know I’m fighting a two-front war.

    Thank you Mr. Spencer for being the light of reason in a world darkness.

      Jan 11, 2016 at 11:47 am

      Not meaning to detract from your otherwise fine post, but use of the term “radical Islam” is one of the reasons the public remains misinformed about Islam.

    Now if the shooter had said:
    ‘I made this pistol myself out of bits and pieces and was just showing it to the police officer as an example of my intellect and industrious ways – when it accidentally went off’ Obama would have invited him to the WH, following which the ‘Gun Boy’ would have hightailed it to the ME and be suing Philadelphia for unkind actions right now.

  7. MarkW says

    Jan 11, 2016 at 1:31 pm

    I thought that Robert Spenser’s answer to the interviewer’s last question was especially good: in 30 seconds or so he summed up the “Nothing to do with Islam” phenomenon as (in my own words) being about the desire by many in the “elite” to preserve the multicultural narrative that much of our media and politicians have championed for such a long time now. Heaven forbid that any of them would ever admit to having made a mistake, or exercised poor judgement with regard to the West’s Muslim immigration policies.

    Of course, there are undoubtedly other reasons behind the widespread denials and obfuscation – such as a genuine desire by some to see the dismantling of Western society, or an increase in the powers of the (police) state – but such issues are rather too involved to be adequately addressed in 30-60 seconds. Overall, I thought it a good interview and hopefully more than a few people will be positively influenced by Robert Spenser’s strong, succinct arguments in that brief video clip.

    And the policies that churches in Europe keep advocating as well.
    Welcome welcome, I am the good Samaritan. Countries have no borders, the whole world belongs to all of us. God wants us to share all we have. We need to excel in hospitality. There can be no limit on the numbers of people seeking help, how can you deny safety to someone. And how can you send a boat back or shoot at a boat.

    Jan 12, 2016 at 12:56 am

    Thank you, Robert, for stating clearly and succinctly what most are unwilling to even whisper: that politicians, the media, etc. refuse to admit the reality of the problem because it would, in essence, state that the policies of Western leaders, vis-a-vis allowing the muzlim (sic – on purpose) hijra, are suicidal yet they continue to double-down on their suicidal policies to the detriment of the citizens of those countries.

  10. John Johness says

    Jan 12, 2016 at 5:19 am

    Once again Robert Spenser you have kept your composure and stated the issues clearly. Thank you.
    In my many years of dealing with Muslims, I am sure you know that they ‘fly off the handle’ very easily. Rational or logical discussion is only a means to emotional commitment for them. They do not see truth value in words in a discussion as there is no truth outside of what Allah has revealed. Even the ones who are not ‘devout’ still are infected by this. That is why it fits so well with the relativism of post modernism.
    So keep the calm polite logical discussion and you will win every time ( to non Muslims)

  11. DiMu says

    Jan 12, 2016 at 8:38 am

    The reason we are losing is that we have no beliefs to fight for, as demonstrated by this incident in Italy a few days ago –

    Modena, January 8 – Five teenagers were reportedly threatened by Arabs from the Maghreb who lined them up, shot a pistol into the air, and asked them whether they believe in Allah or are Christians.
    The teens responded that they don’t believe in anything, and the men left.

  12. Jeremiah says

    Jan 12, 2016 at 8:38 am

    Jan 12, 2016 at 6:00 pm

    This Mayor Kenney is one of the most obtuse lying assholes that I have ever seen.

    At the very least, knowing nothing about islam, he’s presenting in public his entirely fact-free opinions AS FACT – which self-defines him as a liar.

    • Atheist7 says

      Jan 12, 2016 at 6:16 pm

      Don’t be so hard on the poor mayor. If he is simply repeating what his staff and Muslims have told him – perhaps he has representatives of CAIR in his organization – and has fallen into the mind trap in which Islam is a religion of peace. He probably does not have a clue as to what the truth is, but since he is repeating what he thinks is true, he is not a liar.
