This segment is from earlier today, before al-Qaeda claimed responsibility. I speculated in the segment that Boko Haram, aka the Islamic State in West Africa, was behind the attack. In either case, the global jihad advances.

Kudos to CTV for interviewing Robert !!!
John Galt says
I can assure you that CTV didn’t fully understand who Robert Spencer was before bringing him on. Otherwise, they would have brought on someone from the Southern Poverty Law Center
Clearly, the man the speaks the truth.
TrueDutch says
Yes. Good on CTV – a major Canadian news network.
Shane says
Yes, I wish more programs on Fox News would have Robert on as a guest. He would be a great guest for Outnumbered and The Five with his knowledge of Islam, Muhammad, and Jihad. Some of the guests on Fox News shows are totally ignorant about Islamic jihad and sharia law. Chris Wallace quoted a stat that only a little over 100,000 Muslims worlwide are violent. Totally wrong, as hundreds of millions of Muslim believe that it is there duty to wage jihad against the infidels, blasphemers, and apostates.

Saleem Smith says
Quite amazing that Spencer was allowed to be interviewed on CTV.
Many of the devout Muslim jihadis killing in Africa today are probably hoping to get killed during their jihad attacks. They are longing to get to Islamic paradise with its promised virgins. They know that the Sharia law/rule which they are attempting to establish is a long and bloody road creating hell on earth, and they would rather just “kill and get killed” for Islam and go to paradise as the Quran promises.
Quran 9:111:
Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed…
We ex-Muslims know that Mohammedanism is an über violent fraud.

They are not cowards and some are very outspoken:Aayan Hirsi Ali,Wafa Sultan,Ibn Warraq,Bosch Fawstin and so many others.It takes a lot of courage to leave islam:even when the death penalty is not enforced,they are rejected by their own families.We,in the West,should be doing far more to help them find a new ‘tribe’ so that they feel less alone.
Aussie Infidel says
Mickey O, It is all a matter of self preservation. I’ve known hundreds of Muslims for over 50 years, and many of them are Muslims in name only. Many would also abandon their religion if they had the right opportunity. The reasons they remain within the faith, vary from loosing faith in a supernatural God, the realisation that their faith is not a ‘religion of peace’, loyalty to family and friends, and fear of retribution from their more militant ‘brothers’. And this situation still persists if they emigrate to a new country. Other Muslims seek them out, and it can be an almost impossible task to make the break.
I am an Atheist, but I remember how long it took me to ‘declare my hand’, because of the prejudice which prevailed against apostasy, even in a relatively tolerant Christian country like Australia during the 1950s – and the persecution which followed. Islamic societies have even greater prejudices today. And while we might all like to see many more Muslims become ‘Ex’, we must be patient and above all uncritical of those who are contemplating the move. It often takes a brave person to abandon his faith, whatever it might be, but an even braver Muslim to abandon Islam. It’s often a question of timing and circumstances, and that doesn’t necessarily occur overnight.

Link to video is not there, or at least for me.

I dug up the link on ctv website.
Agree with the rest here excellent succinct brief interview! I’m very surprised this is on Canadian national television, but…but..but isn’t Robert Spencer supposed to be a racist bigoted Islamophobe?

billybob says
Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much opportunity for Robert to supply much useful information on such a limited segment, but he did get in a quote from the Quran! Way to go Robert! …countering the PC version that attacks like these have nothing to do with Islam. Did I imagine it, or did the reporter recoil ever so slightly from that reply, like maybe wishing she hadn’t asked that question that gave Robert the opportunity to tie in the Quran?
KrazyKafir says
Good interview. It’s very important that the average person understands that, ultimately… all…of these Islamic terrorist groups share the very same goal, and that goal is for Islam and sharia law to reign supreme over all else.

Champ says
Once again Robert Spencer speaks the Truth about islamic supremacist groups like these evil thugs! …and for some the unvarnished truth about islam & company will be too hot to handle.
celticwarriorcanada says
Congradulations Robert !!! They Actually BroadCasted you on a Mainstream Canadian News Channel , and actually Let you finish saying What You Needed To Say !!! P.S. God Still Performs Miracles !
underbed cat corrected says
Hopefully Trudeau will take note of this incident and listen to the very good interview on CanadaTV with Robert Spencer. The terror groups and there are many, as KrazyKafir states, “share the very same goal and that goal is for Islam and sharia law to reign supreme over all else.” The command is the goal for a caliphate…the method is to strike terror…why is works is deception and the steadfast support of the uninformed.
This is not” hate speech” ,the term hate speech aids only the misdirection. The facts should be protective speech…as good as a maple cookie.
Mo says
Hm, I am not seeing any link.
John Johness says
I too am stunned that the interview got through.
It is found at http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=827784
The Interviewer said ‘Wow’ – Well ‘wow’ indeed. The do live in a bubble.
RS: Excellent, crystal clear and quickly to the point.
If there was more time, RS could have added ‘and by killing, they believe they go to paradise, so it is almost impossible to stop them’.

Video: Robert Spencer on CTV News on the jihad massacre in Ivory Coast
……………………..
I try to keep up on the news, and yet I had completely missed this JIhad massacre of 16 people, even though it is believed that Americans were targeted:
“Ivory Coast gunmen who killed 16 had sights set on Obama official, source says”
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/03/13/gunmen-storm-ivory-coach-beach-resort.html
God, I hate Islam.
George says
Time has come to move away from “Islamaphobia” and move to “Shariaphobia” as Sharia appears to be the inspiration.
KnowThyEnemy says
Islam and Sharia are one and the same thing. Islam is theory whereas Sharia is “how to practice the theory called Islam”.
In other words Islam is pig whereas Sharia is pig with lipstick!
scott camillo says
Good on you Mr. Spencer on being on CTV, we need more of this, you should team up with Michael Coren again, you were great back then too.
Judi says
Yes, good idea. I miss Michael Coren.
Nope says
I’m sorry to say this, but Coren is now apparently a hardcore leftist and an Islamophile.
vlparker says
Michael Coren sold Robert Spencer out after the Garland, Texas incident.
Qwerty says
The mistake that we non muslims repeatedly make is to focus too much on the names of these groups(Al Qaeda,Isis,Boko Haram,Al Shabab,Lakshar E tiba, Jaish al Islam etc.), this has been going since over 1000years, regardless of names they believe virtually identical things and one of the principles enshrined in islam that they must fight to spread islam and that people believe in muhammad is the messenger,and that this act will result in them being rewarded when they die. I see islam as a cult, and only because it has grown to over 1billion do we give it legitimacy,but imagine if they were the size of scientology never would we call that religion, we might even outright ban it as a form of sedition. Islam needs to be reformed but how can a religion be reformed when its very founder muhammad was a war lord,murderer,rapist & enslaver, how do you reform the unreformable. We should come to a understanding that right now we need to restrict immigration and asylum from people from islamic countries in order to protect our countries, if you need workers bring in chinese,indians,south americans etc.,especially catholic south americans will be very compatible with out culture.Islam is a ideology,it lives in humans,drives their behaviour, if you dont want islamization you must restrict muslim immigration,there is no other way.
Mark A says
CTV is a major Canadian TV network. I’m Canadian and I’m amazed CTV had Robert Spencer on for an interview.
Usually the Canadian media collectively avoids and shuns people like Robert Spencer who do not conform to the typical media narrative.
Glad to see CTV had Robert Spencer on air but I’m curious as to whether they’ll have him on again. I’m sure one or more CTV staff had their knuckles rapped over Robert Spencer’s appearance on air.
