Jihad Watch

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

The letter kills: L’Informale interview with Robert Spencer

Mar 20, 2016 5:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Pugnacious? Me? Here is an interview I did with the Italian publication L’Informale:

robert-spencer

Robert Spencer the pugnacious director-founder of Jihad Watch and co-founder with Pamela Geller of SIOA (Stop Islamization of America), is an inopportune character. He is among that group of Western authors and scholars who reject the comfortable narrative about Islam as a religion of peace and show instead a far less pleasing side of it.

Author of many books on the topic, few like him are able to master with such a brilliant expertise (his knowledge of Islamic religious texts and Islamic history is impressive) a debate on the subject, as those orthodox Muslims who have debated him know very well.

It goes without saying that he is considered to be “islamophobic”, like all those who, by going against the current, criticize Islam. Not for nothing, he has coauthored with David Horowitz, a pamphlet with an emblematic title, “Islamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future”.

Today around Islam there is a sort of quarantine. It is the only world religion which is impossible to criticize without being immediately accused of being phobic. According to you why have we got to this point?
Islamic advocacy groups, generally tied to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, along with their Leftist allies have made a concerted effort to stigmatize all criticism of Islam and honest discussion of the roots of jihad terror activity in Islamic texts and teachings. They have effectively intimidated people into assuming that it is somehow morally wrong to criticize or resist jihad terror and Sharia oppression.

We cannot endorse the statement that all Muslims are in favor of jihad. However Islam is the only religion that is at pain in criticizing itself and condemning the violence that stems from it. Why?
Criticism of Islam is forbidden in Islamic law. Since jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and oppression, and to make recruits among peaceful Muslims, many Muslims assume that to criticize even jihad violence is to criticize Islam itself and falls under the prohibition of such criticism.

In one of his books the great twentieth century scholar Ignác Goldziher wrote, “Muhammad is the prophet of struggle and war…What he did initially in the Arab context has the value of a testament for his followers, struggle against the infidels, extension not quite of their faith but of their power sphere, which is the power sphere of Allah. The fighters of Islam must first of all subdue more than convert the infidels”. How much of this is still true today?
That is 100% true today. Muhammad’s example remains paramount for Muslims, since he is held up as the supreme model for emulation in the Qur’an (33:21). The Qur’an mandates, as Goldziher put it, the subjugation of the infidels and the extension of Islam’s power sphere over them, not their conversion to Islam.

From various decades we are assisting to a peculiar phenomenon, the subscription of many intellectuals and academics both in Europe and in the United States to a specific narrative according to which Islamic terrorism is not truly Islamic but is the product of external causes and basically of the West. According to you what are the reasons of this attitude?
Such intellectuals are following in the footsteps of the forbears they reject and abhor, and have adopted an unconscious “white man’s burden” paternalism in assuming that Muslims cannot act of their own accord and from their own beliefs, but can only react to the depredations of the West. Only Western non-Muslims, in their unconscious assumption, can act responsibly and rationally.

Recently Ayan Hirsi Alì has made the following distinction regarding the Muslim world. According to her there are the Muslims of Medina and those of Mecca. The first ones, 48 millions, are in favor of the imposition of sharia by force and of a version of Islam unchanged from the VII century. The second ones live in tension with the modern world and in a state of ‘cognitive dissonance’. Do you agree with her analysis?
No, I believe that many more than 48 million Muslims believe in the imposition of Sharia by force and of a version of Islam unchanged since the 7th century. This does not mean, however, that they are all willing or able to act upon these beliefs.

Last year at Al-Azhar University of Cairo, Egyptian President Al Sisi, in front of an audience full of religious authorities said that Islamic violence has its roots in religion. What do you think about his words?
His words were true and needed. What is striking, however, is that no Muslim clerics in Egypt or anywhere else have taken up his call for reform and begun working toward that reform.

In his book “Jihad and Jew hatred”, Matthias Kuntzel wrote, “The division of the world into Islamic and non-Islamic spheres partially explains the hatred that orthodox Muslim feel for Israel…Many Muslims view the situation in Palestine as a modern version of the early Islamic antagonism between Muhammad and the Jews, with the result that they consider seventh-century expulsion and killing of the Jews as the model for current policy towards Israel”. Do you think he is correct?
Yes, absolutely. Muhammad’s antagonism toward the Jews is, for Muslims, sacred history, and a paradigm for their own interactions with Jews and Israel.

Only by interpreting the Koran literally its possible to arrive to its truth. This is what the literalists say, the purists, Salafi and Wahhabi. This is what ISIS says and puts into action. The problem of Islam, at its core, is a problem of sticking to the letter of its religious text?
Yes. Any reform in Islam toward pluralism and peaceful coexistence as equals with Infidels would have to proceed on the basis of an explicit rejection of Qur’anic literalism.

My last question is about the United States, your country. In these last eight years we have witnessed how President Obama has constantly mitigated up to the point of refusing to nominate it, any connection between Islamic terrorism and its religious origin. We know that the United States have an important economic relation with Saudi Arabia, a country of strict Wahhabi observance. According to you what must change in the relation between United States and the Arab-Muslim world?
Alliances with states that promote the ideology that fuels jihad terror (such as, but not limited to, Saudi Arabia) must be broken, and new alliances formed with states that are, like the US, facing the jihad threat.

    Pugnacious? I looked it up in the dictionary. The same story again: if you tell the truth about Islam you have to be labeled with something negative.

    However, keep up the good work Robert! The true nature of Islam will be known by most people soon one way or the other. Hope this time it will be beginning of its demise for good.

    Thank you for fighting for my freedom.

      ‘Pugnacious’? Yes! A fine word, too. We are pugnacious, because Islam is repugnant. Islam deserves to be fought against with all the might we have.

      Jews in the 1930s did little or nothing to denounce Hitler. They thought a softly-softly approach would keep things calm and eventually, things would return to ‘normal’. However, with SUPREMACISTS like Nazis or Muslims, there is no ‘return to normal’. Supremacists want a UTOPIA where equality is abolished!

      We must stop being nice about the supremacism of Islam and call it SUPREMACISM and MISOGYNY.

      Call political Islam what it is: SUPREMACISM and MISOGYNY.

      Let us not go silently like lambs to the slaughter as the Jews went to Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno Auschwitz and Belzec…even helping the process to go faster.

      Let’s start telling our politicians and Muslim leaders that we are going to stop this madness. The Muslim immigration must stop now.

        To mortimer, you say “….Let’s start telling our politicians and Muslim leaders that we are going to stop this madness. The Muslim immigration must stop now.”

        I hate to be negative, particularly in your case, since you always look for the good, the civilized solution. And I believe you know by now that I mean that most positively. Respectful even.

        But ‘telling our politicians and Muslim leaders’, that requires that they listen to us – fat chance. At best we’d get a mocking reply: “Who is ‘we’?” Accompanied by hate propaganda from the ‘free press’.

        As far as the Muslim immigration is concerned, my comment will raise a few eyebrows, but think about it. And before anybody explodes, read it through.

        We need more immigrants like these. NO! I am not mad. But they have to become even more cockey, more arrogant, more demanding and audacious. Commit even more, and perhaps greater, more vicious atrocities. Otherwise our people wont wake up! Then *we* can put a stop to it. Not a day earlier.

        Them *we* will be ‘WE’! And rise. I know my dear chap, that is not to your liking, but think about it. There is no civilized, orderly solution for this, call it a, problem.

          I think you are correct that this will not be recognized UNTIL more people are killed and the obvious is recognized for what it is. Only when it’s REALLY personal will Liberals (who are idealists and try to be fair to everybody) wake up and ‘smell the roses’ – I am a Liberal, I have been a tolerant person my whole life – BUT I got warning ‘twinges’ in my psyche way back in the 70’s in London, UK when mosques started popping up all over the place – that was enough for me to feel threatened – why did I feel threatened by this when I did NOT feel threatened by large numbers of Caribbean people or Indians with turbans, but somehow I knew in my bones the mosques were not a good thing ? We girls usually call this ‘intuition’ and we let it inform our minds as it is an ancient survival skill – if you think about it we are rather like amoebas with tentacle ‘feelers’ going out into the world to ‘test the waters’ – my ‘feelers’ knew there was a threat even then and I have never changed my mind since then. I think the West will wake up but the biggest problem is those who do not want to be seen as intolerant – until they are personally threatened !

          Mothers Against Drunk Driving MADD, the various tv shows that
          focus on fugitives, there are multiple organizations that began After
          the death of a relative or close friend Because the crime happened
          Close to the originator of the organization…and that is the ABC of what
          is needed to awaken America to the true nature of the jihadist and the potential for death and destruction…until those who are protected and isolated from the jihadist destructive mentality, until they can see and smell the death from one of their back pack explosions it is my opinion that they will continue their Know nothing
          and Do nothing attitude and openness to the muslim horde that is
          awaiting the opportunity to “immigrate” as “refugees” to this Nation
          and repeat the same thing that is taking place NOW in Europe….
          We in the past said to the Europeans…Wake UP…and to no avail…
          now we say Wake Up America…also to no avail????

      The perfect religion of peace.

      We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Mohammedanism is an exceptionally evil cult that needs to thrown into the dustbin of history. Muhammad is the model man for Muslims to follow according to several Quranic directives:

      Qur’an 033:021:

      “There is a good example in God’s apostle for those of you who look to God and the Last Day and remember God always.”

      Ex-Muslim Ali Sina’s $50.000 challenge to Muslims:

      >>>>>

      THE CHALLENGE

      I receive many emails from angry Muslims, who sometimes beg me, and sometimes order me to remove this site. I consider both, pleading and bullying, signs of psychopathology. Argumentum ad baculum and argumentum ad misericordiam are both logical fallacies.

      If you do not like this site and want me to remove it, instead of acting as a bully or as a victim, disprove my charges against Muhammad logically. Not only will I remove the site, I will publicly announce that Islam is a true religion. I will also pay

      $50,000 U.S. dollars

      to anyone who can disprove the following accusations that I have made against Muhammad. I accuse Muhammad of being:

      a narcissist
      a misogynist
      a rapist
      a pedophile
      a lecher
      a torturer
      a mass murderer
      a cult leader
      an assassin
      a terrorist

      These charges are irrefutable. You simply can’t disprove them because they are reported in Islamic sources and as such they are as good as confession.

      http://www.faithfreedom.org/the-challenge-2/

      Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

      “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

      The statement continues,

      Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

        Mar 21, 2016 at 11:02 am

        Hi Saleem – I’m curious, how many Muslims within your circle (growing up or now) have actually read the Qur’an? The reason I’m asking is, its shocking to me that the moderates who have actually read the Qur’an are not larger in numbers in denouncing the religion. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. And the moderates I’m referring to are the ones living in western countries like USA, Europe, etc.

        No it isn’t. Know your enemy! That means understand your enemy.

        The Nazis and the Bolshies are and/or were a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys compared with the Muslims. The Muslims are vastly more shrewd, smarter and more deceitful than the Nazis and Bolshies combined. In case you haven’t noticed, they are at it for the last 1,400 years, and have by now subjugated no less than 47 nations – that is about one quarter of the existing, modern nations.

        Screaming out your anger, which we all on this website share, and simplifying the problem into some ww2 propaganda fantasy wont solve it.

        Know and understand your enemy, than you can defeat him. Otherwise you have no chance. Muslims are even ‘offended’ the way we breath. Have you noticed how ‘offended’ they are by comparisons with Nazis or Bolshies? Not one bit! Let me put it this way, if your enemy keeps on running his head against a brickwall, with you sitting at a comfortable distance, having no interest in that wall, would you be so stupid and interrupt him? Of course not.

        So once again, learn about your enemy, being outraged about his atrocities and calling him names gets you nowhere – and us neither.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 20, 2016 at 9:55 pm

      On the contrary! The interviewer of the magazine “Informale” was EXTRAORDINARILY well-informed about Islam, unlike 99% of journalists sent by their clueless editors who seemingly know even less about Islam and don’t care much if their journalists are getting it right! They are just interested, it seems, in the ‘political slant’. They want to support the cultural Marxist agenda, even if they don’t understand it or why ‘the party’ is preaching it.

      At the moment, the Left has absolutely no philosophical agreement with Islam on any subject, and yet the Left holds Islam tightly to its bosom. Nevertheless, it cannot be long before the viper of Islam stings the Left. This strategic alliance cannot go on for ever. In every Muslim-majority country, the Left knows Islam is not their friend, but not in Europe or America.

    Robert I too say “thank you”. You are informative, brave….genius. But…… The core of islam, mandates these ideas, so as far as not all muslims will jihad….that point is correct, but why would they come to the U.S.,how could they continue to misdirect infidels, without the intention of supporting jihad and misdirection…not the least of which is sakat.(charitable money to jihad) Unless they leave the ideas behind I do not feel safe……never will. The migration to the U.S. is obligatory from their doctrine/ hidra/ sharia law/ religion, with has only one goal in mind, unless they want to leave it. There is no way to change this ideology to live peacefully. It would be great if were possible.

    Great interview and confirming for me again that Islam is beyond reform. I see no path, no path whatsoever, to a truly reformed Islam that would not seek to use force in this world to get its way.

    Virtually all religions threaten something dire in the next world if one does not accept or act upon that religion’s tenets. Many religions also contend that the deity or deities they posit exist will punish many people in this world too. But only Islam’s theological blueprint asserts that its followers can ALSO use force in this world to insure its spread and success. Herein lies the SINGLE GREATEST PROBLEM with Islam, i.e., the sanctioning of the use of force in this world by the faithful to maintain and spread Islam’s beliefs. Were this feature of Islam non-existent, a site like Jihad Watch would not have had to come into being in the first place. But this feature of Islam is existent. Boy, is it ever. It’s all over the place in the Koran, the hadiths and the sira. And this is why Islam should be despised above all other reasons, why it is a mortal enemy of liberty above all other reasons, and thus why it should be opposed forever.

      Welllington clarified the ‘problem’ of Islam: “the sanctioning of the use of force…by the faithful to maintain and spread Islam’s beliefs”.

      The term for that is THEOCRATIC SUPREMACISM…this is Islam’s PRIME DIRECTIVE: political conquest.

      A theocratic supremacist cannot compromise his magical Utopia. Even should he meet stern resistance, a Muslim supremacist will redouble his efforts and await the next opportunity.

      There is NO END to Islamic conquest. We must isolate Muslims in a few countries and encourage them to leave this backward cult. Islam should be condemned in courts of law as incompatible with human rights and banned from all countries where the rule of law obtains.

    Robert.
    “Muhammad’s antagonism toward the Jews is, for Muslims, sacred history, and a paradigm for their own interactions with Jews and Israel.”
    Moslem’s anti-semitism is different from christian’s anti-semitism. Christians throughout history considered jews as a nation more then a religious group. Jews considered to be a threat to christianity and as a result – conspiracy theories and blood liables. Jews were hated, but feared at the same time. Establishment of a state for the jews, would be a positive development in the eyes of christians.
    Islam, on the other hand, looked at the jews with contempt and without fear. Israel was a shock to moslems. Situation that jews have a state in the middle of the moslem lands, the state, which is far more advanced then any moslem country, stronger military then all 56 moslem states together, makes a mockery of islam itself. Superiority of the West is explained by many historical factors, but superiority of Israel points to islam itself.
    The demise of Israel is of paramount importance to islam. Unfortunately, even anti-islamic scholars and politicians do not fully understand the ideological importance of Israel to islam.

      “Watch this video of muslims going out of their way to show their hospitality.”

      Wow, you found ONE “example” of quote “muslim hospitality”.
      We didn’t know muslims (lowercase be upon them) could be hospitable (sarcasm).
      However there have been 28018 DEADLY ISLAMIC terror attacks since 9/11.

      http://www.thereligionofpeace.com

      And 400+ MILLION unholy ko ‘ran followers worldwide believe in the death penalty for leaving islam according to this 2013 poll (if you add up the muslim populations of the countries involved, which I did two years ago using an excel spreadsheet).

        This ‘brian464’ character has been here before, more than once, under a variety of monikers at jihadwatch.. years ago. He has a very distinctive – because eerily robotic – writing style. He’s a Defender of Islam; whether fully-groomed and conditioned Dhimmi, or Mohammedan in a mask, makes no difference. His sole purpose here is to throw sand.

    Hats off to Niram Ferretti who asks some intelligent questions, something it seems the MSM in the USA is incapable of doing. Are our reporters too lazy or afraid to do any homework? In either case they’re being shown up by journalists across the pond.

    Pugnacious? Well Robert, pugs are pretty cute. Considering the source, it’s practically a compliment.

    Robert Spencer said: “Alliances with states that promote the ideology that fuels jihad terror (such as, but not limited to, Saudi Arabia) must be broken, and new alliances formed with states that are, like the US, facing the jihad threat.”

    THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT! Saudi Arabia, thanks to their economic power has been exporting JIHADISM to the world as their SECOND EXPORT after oil. We must stop buying Saudi oil and totally boycott Saudi Arabia. We need to find our oil elsewhere while we change COMPLETELY to another portable fuel. We need to stop all Muslim immigration to Western countries.

    Muslims are supremacists, they can’t change that. We must admit it and be wise and realistic. Muslims want to destroy democracy.

    The only way to protect our democratic way of life is to keep Muslims away from us.

    Ayan Hirsi Ali said that 48 million Muslims are ‘Medina’ Muslims…meaning that they want Sharia and support jihad. Opinion surveys show that more like 65% of Muslims (about 1 billion) support discriminatory Sharia, but only 15% support jihad-terror groups. 15% of all Muslims is much higher…about 250 million. Of that 15% of jihad-supporters, about 1% of the jihad supporters are ready to conduct jihad. That’s about one out of 3,000 Muslims at the high end or one out 7,000 at the low end. A total number of jihadists ready to fight around the world would be less than one million. That’s a very large army which is spread out in all countries.

    I do not know where Ayan Hirsi Ali gets her very low numbers of jihad supporters. I think she is incredibly low.

    We have to let Muslim leaders that they are responsible for stopping jihad. If they cannot do it, we must exclude Muslims from the West.

    ( his knowledge of Islamic religious texts and Islamic history is impressive)
    Know thine enemy.
    A lot of people don’t even know that there is an enemy to know, even though the lot of people do business everyday with the enemy that is still unsussed by many.
    So it is still a suprise attack by the enemy that is silently breeding soldiers for Allah.
    The cancer is growing unchecked.
    Blasphemy is a threat to the cancer, a threat to the enemys’ cloudy cover of twisted and unspoken truths about Islams’ propensity to conquer every Infidel.

    First they call you “pugnacious”, “hatemonger”, “hate inciter”.
    Then they get accustomed to the truth and true conversation.
    Time needed – good message to break through, to spread and become well apprehended.
    Pc, leftist msm ‘tolerant’ notions still prevail in general public opinion, as well as a ‘fear’ in media not to expose themselves ‘inadvertently’ as religion enemies.

    No nation can survive when your own citizen hate the nation and want todestroy. ISlam means local converts will destroy nation as teaching of islam means no love for nation or other citizen Love for saudi God and Saudi Book is all about. This local brain dead and corrupt brain can’t be fixed.
    Only way is all who convert should lose citizenship and no govt jobs and govt help to these converts .

      A lie detector test would reveal the Muslims who want to overthrow the government and constitution.

    Fifteen years from now, a big fraction of this immigrants will have have votes and then you will see your leaders competing for the arab/muslim vote like we are seeing right now the fight for the latino and black Americans vote. Politicians greed for power will always complicate matters.
