Jihad Watch

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

“Expertly removing the membrane of deceit which covers all things Islamic”

Mar 3, 2016 7:28 am By Paul Schnee

Introduction to Robert Spencer’s address at the David Horowitz Freedom Center event at the LUXE Hotel, Brentwood, CA, September 17, 2015:

Schnee2

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and salam alaikum, as they say in Dearborn.

Driving here this evening, I was reminded of the story about a 6th grade teacher who gave her class an art assignment to draw a picture of anyone they wished. As she circulated the class she came across little Johnny. “Johnny”, she said, “of whom are you drawing a picture?” “I’m drawing a picture of God,” replied Johnny. “But Johnny, nobody knows what God looks like,” said the teacher. “Well”, replied Johnny in a flash, “they will in a minute!”

In a minute we will have the pleasure of listening to Robert Spencer, but before that, I would like to take you all the way back to December of 1936, when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne of Great Britain so he could marry the dismal and socially ambitious Mrs. Simpson. This finally ended a great constitutional crisis which had shaken the Empire and rocked the foundations of the ancient British Monarchy. At that moment, his younger brother Albert became George VI by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of its Dominions across the seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.

A few weeks later, somebody asked the reluctant monarch how he was enjoying being king. “It’s quite a good job”, he said, “but there’s no room for advancement!”

I suspect that Robert Spencer might now be in a similar position. He has become so well-known warning us against the Islamization of America and the West, while expertly removing the membrane of deceit which covers all things Islamic, that he has become such a sovereign figure against regnant Islam that for him too there is now no room for advancement.

Indeed, if he never spoke another word or wrote another sentence on these matters, we would still owe him a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid.

When he is not being denied entry to England by a British government paralyzed by a tragically consuming political correctness that it is unable to distinguish its friends from its enemies, and when he is not narrowly escaping assassination at the hands of two Islamic terrorists, neatly and permanently dispatched by the police in Garland, Texas, Robert Spencer has been busy writing two New York Times bestsellers, The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, as well as 13 other books and some six pamphlets illuminating the destructive intentions, the corrosive effects, and the boundless determination of the “religion of peace”, the instincts of which are so fraternal that it seeks to provide us all with a one-way ticket back to the 7th Century.

His articles have appeared in hundreds of newspapers and periodicals around the world; he has spoken on scores of campuses throughout America; and he has appeared many times on every major news channel in the United States. He has led seminars on Islam and Jihad for the United States Central Command, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Intelligence Community.

With his recent book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, Robert Spencer has now turned his perceptive and analytical mind to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Not long ago, Barack Obama, beaming his wisdom towards us, told us that ISIS is neither Islamic nor a state…yet it has been beheading its way to Baghdad and Syria in an orgy of violence the warrant for which, it never tires of telling us, is the Quran itself. It now occupies an area larger than the United Kingdom, has its own currency, its own highly solvent bank and, remarkably, has devised a national budget which would seem to put it far ahead of the Obama Administration!

One of Robert Spencer’s books, available at fine book stores everywhere, was titled, Did Muhammad Exist? Like other legendary figures from centuries ago, we cannot be absolutely certain, but due to his faultless service, his dedication and his courage in speaking the truth which has become manifest to us all, we know and are delighted that Robert Spencer exists. He joins us here tonight. Please give a warm California welcome to Mr. Robert Spencer.

Paul Schnee has served as Executive Director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Zionist Organization of America.

      Seconded, Michael. Mr. Schnee placed it superbly:

    Fine introduction and well deserved. Thanks R. Spencer for working so hard for freedom. You set a fine example for young people because you are a light of reason and hope in a world gone mad. You calm the fears of moral people with your intelligent defense against violent superstition, and you help the lost by exposing the error of their ways. I think that deserves respect. Stay safe and healthy. We need you.

      Agree. Schnee’s introduction was excellent.

      Here’s a quote to memorize about ISIS’s “…orgy of violence the warrant for which, it never tires of telling us, is the Quran itself.’ (…right on.)

      When Muslims with Islamic PhDs tell us they are following the Koran by committing atrocities, who are those presidents and prime ministers with no study of Islam whatsoever to say that they are wrong?

      We desperately need Western elites to read Robert Spencer’s books and the Islamic sources.

    We were very lucky that Mrs Simpson married the Nazi loving Edward V111. If He had remained King, the UK would have become a Nazi satellite state of Germany, and Europe would now be enslaved by the 1000 year reich.

    • Mirren10 says

      Mar 3, 2016 at 5:15 pm

      What rubbish.

      EdwardVIII was a fool, and certainly *sympathetic* towards Nazism, but to assert that if he had remained King the UK would have become a Nazi state is utter nonsense. You obviously have absolutely no knowledge of the relationship between the monarchy and the government in the UK.

    A very good lecture indeed. Thank you.
    It is strange the ISIS/Daesh is not being stopped by the countries in the region. Maybe that is because the Quran says things like in 48:29 :
    – “Stand firm against the non believers but be full of warmth and friendship towards eachother ( the believers),” (Bernström translation into swedish) and in other translations.
    – “Be terrible against the nonbelievers and merciful with eachother.” (Zettersteen translation into swedish).
    On the other hand 49:9 and 49:10 states that you should mediate a peace between two brothers fighting. Believers are brothers.and should reconcile to peace according to the Quran.
    Thinking about these vehicles the IS/Daesh in long rows are travelling in waving guns and cheering. Must not be a problem to destroy for a good pilot.
    Still nothing. Nothing complete at least. Instead a danger it will spread into Europe. Must say the leaders here are weak and not very bright. Due to long time of destructive indictrination and appeasement.
    Afraid that it is a good assumption the IS/Daesh could cause a lot of destruction here not being stopped and at least could cause lots of destruction before being stopped. By Russia?
    In one opinion poll last January here in Sweden the Swedish Democrats got 28,8% . Down to some 25,5% in February. Maybe the most reliable opinion institute of a few here. Coming close to the factual result last general election.
    Thus you are correct estimating the party is to grow.
    Still 87% voted against in 2014. 2018 will be the next election. General opinion probably will not change very much and the majority still will vote for the other parties.
    People here in Sweden locally react to changes and to have to receive muslims in their home districts. Men now are in majority in Sweden historically. Soon muslim men will be in majority over all other men and muslims totally over all others.
    Nothing hinders.
    Still voters are not fundamentally changing the way they vote. Nothing seems to be able to change that. Lots trying to find out how come and to change it.
    However the government as a matter of fact is changing politics recently. Not cooperating with the Swedish Democrats, but changing much in the way that party always wanted. Other parties joining the same politics as the government.
    The so called Green party (Miljöpartriet) with some 5% and members of the government wanting to go back to former politics with open borders, claiming all peoples are equal and no individual is illegal and that you should protect those in need regardlees. Other parties might follow.
    Thus not very mauch hope, but some nevertheless. Never give up. For the future generations as ourselves as well.

      Swedes are selling future generations into enslavement under discriminatory Sharia law. Swedes are unread in Islamic history and Islam’s foundational texts. Otherwise, Swedes would see that Islam is a lobster trap.

      Islam är en hummer fälla. Det finns ingen väg ut.

      Richard Paulson: “…Afraid that it is a good assumption the IS/Daesh could cause a lot of destruction here not being stopped and at least could cause lots of destruction before being stopped. By Russia?”

      No, not Russia, they are heading into trouble themselves. Moscow is Europe’s Muslim capital. Also, do you really believe that Putin would send troops into a western European/NATO country? Though, no doubt, he’d love to.

      Islam will be stopped, by civil war in Europe – and by whatever entity succeeds the EU. Hint, it will be an eastern entity. Putin will have actually a worse problem than he has now with the EU.

      Civil war in Europe? It has began, this year alone over 600 asylum centers destroyed in Germany. Also in Germany, the first time a submachine gun has been used by the resistance. In your country, I believe you are Swedish, the asylum centers burn practically daily. In the UK, now the first center has been burnt. Well, it’s a start, and it will get worse and worse. That was to express myself in a politically correct fashion – we must be careful with what we say, and we mustn’t disagree with the government, or the press, mustn’t we? That would be tantamount to free speech… Of course, other people may say that it will get better and better, but they are politically incorrect. Unlike us 🙂 .

      Good luck Swedes. And keep the fires burning, after all, it’s cold this time of the year, and one must keep warm 🙂

    Mr Spencer, I am not an American, I am Est-European. But it is you to whom I owe, mainly, my understanding of Islam and the danger of islamization. My quest to seriously understand those issues has began with 9/11. it was too much. I saw with my own eyes the islamization of London, UK (my brother is British citizen), of Paris, but 9/11…. it went beyond my imagination. So, I have discovered you in 2005, with your “Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam”, which was exactly that: an excelent guide that gave me orientation and the corect perspective on islamic texts and mentality. Since then you gave me more and more clarity, direction and argument; through you I have discovered Pam Geller, Raymond Ibrahim and many other reliable sources of documentation, and you helped me help others understand the islamic and “multicultural” issue. For that, you have all my gratitude and my friends’ gratitude, I assure you. And yes, though not American,I assure you we share the same conservative values of “life, liberty and pursuit of happyness”such as defined by the Founders and the American Constitution – the unique most durable constitution modern free world has ever known, and I am telling that as a lawyer with good knowledge of many other constitutional desings. God bless you for your endevour and courage

    Superb speech and answer session; also excellent introduction as well. As Robert mentioned, it is critical to understand Barry Soetoro’s (aka as B. Obama) (I refer to the fraud masquerading as POTUS by his last know legal name rather than the name he operates under) involvement in the evolution of ISIS and that his “Foreign Policy” blueprint appears heavily influenced by Fareed Zakaria’s book, “The Post-American World”. Barry apparently read the book during his 2008 campaign.

    While Zakaria appears moderate he is a moslem and consequently his actions must be viewed through the lens of Taqiyya, Kitman, etc,.

    Zakaria is no Dinesh D’Souza, of 2016: Obama’s America fame. Be constantly suspicious.

    Spencer and others like him are doing an invaluable service for Western civilization by shining the light of truth on Islam and its hateful and supremacist ideology. Robert, keep fighting the good fight, never quit, never give in, and never ever submit. Strength and honor.
