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

Video: Robert Spencer on Hillary Clinton’s war against the freedom of speech

Mar 4, 2016 10:45 am By Robert Spencer

This video is from April 14, 2015, when I was the featured speaker at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Wednesday Morning Club. I discussed Hillary Clinton’s war against the freedom of speech, explaining how Clinton as Secretary of State, along with others in the Obama Administration and Barack Obama himself, knowingly and actively aided the advance of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s campaign to restrict the freedom of speech and stigmatize counter-terror efforts as “hate speech.”

In light of the very real possibility that Hillary Clinton could be the next President of the United States, I thought it would be a good time to repost this video.

And here is Paul Schnee’s introduction:

Today we will have the great pleasure of listening to Robert Spencer talk about, “Is the Islamic State Islamic and why does it matter?” To ask this question is to answer it unless, of course, you happen to be president of the United States. Mr. Spencer is a scholar who has become a sovereign figure in the fight against the Islamization of America and the West. Indeed, he has been so successful in making the country aware of Islam’s true meaning and intentions that he now has to live in an undisclosed location in order to avoid the threats of violence of which he is a regular recipient from the votaries of the “Religion of Peace”.

At 5ft. 4ins. tall it was said of James Madison that there had never been a greater ratio of mind to mass. At 5ft. 6ins. tall, of Robert Spencer it can be said that there has seldom been a greater ratio of courage to mass.

He was telling me earlier that he is always gratified to see how many people come to hear him speak but, like Winston Churchill, he suspects that if he were instead being hanged, the crowd would be 100 times larger.

Robert is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of some 13 books, available at fine book shops everywhere. These include two New York Times bestsellers, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and The Truth about Muhammad. His latest book is Arab Winter Comes to America: The Truth About the War We’re In, and his next book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, will be released on August 17th. The number 13 is significant not only because it is a great many books to have written, but also because this number exceeds by 3 the combined I.Q’s of John Kerry and Wendy Sherman, who have recently, in Switzerland, concocted one of the most potentially lethal agreements with the messianic ayatollahs of Iran whose apocalyptic vision remains undiminished.

Mr. Spencer has conducted seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, the United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army’s Assymetric Warfare Group, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Intelligence community. To our detriment, these activities have been curtailed by an American president whose insatiable appetite for historical revision anxiously tries to convince us that Islam has always been a part of the rich mosaic of American life. Nothing could farther from the truth, and only demonstrates Barack Obama’s faculty for realizing hallucinations.

As well as having spoken on literally hundreds of university campuses across America, we are pleased to have seen Mr. Spencer appear on a variety of Fox News programs, PBS, MSNBC, CNBC, C-Span and France 24, but you will not, alas, be seeing him on the BBC any time soon.

In June of 2013, along with Pamela Geller he was due to speak at an English Defense League march in Woolwich, where Private Lee Rigby had been brutally murdered by two Islamic jihadists. He was banned from entering Britain.

A British government spokesman said individuals whose presence “is not conducive to the public good” could be excluded by the home secretary.

He added: “We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form.”

Yet, just days before Robert Spencer was banned, the British government admitted Saudi Sheikh Mohammed al-Arefe. Al-Arefe has said: “Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight.”

Thomas Mann’s observation that tolerance is a crime when applied to evil must have escaped the notice of Britain’s Home Secretary.

This incident shows, at least in this instance, that if it were not for double standards, the British government would not have any standards at all. It also demonstrates just how far the termites have travelled, how well they have feasted, and that these two decisions by the British government could not possibly have been made without the benefit of alcohol.

Will you please give a warm California welcome to a man whose knowledge and analysis so accurately informs us all but terrifies the British government, Ladies & Gentlemen: Mr. Robert Spencer.

    Paul Schnee’s introduction about Robert’s courage-to-mass ratio is not only true, but amusing — and in these grim days, I can sure use a laugh.

    But back to Hillary: if you have been following developments in the private email server situation, the FBI really seems to be tightening a rope around Brian Pagliano, Huma Abedin, and a 3rd person whose first name is Jake (I’ve forgotten his last name).

    Yes, cynics here are going to wail “INDICTMENT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN ! ! !” — yet I remain hopeful that Director Comey has the courage and patriotism to proceed on this.

    If you want an expert’s assessment of what might happen, Google Michael Mukasey’s comments regarding what the grant of immunity given to Pagliano portends.

    Also read the opinion of Andrew C. McCarthy in National Review Online. McCarthy is a former U.S. district attorney — who successfully prosecuted Blind Sheik Omar, along with winning other jihad-related trials.

    Hillary’s philosophy is opportunism. She sees freedom of expression as an importance to her agenda to be brushed away, not realizing that freedom of expression is the cornerstone of the republic. Freedom of expression is inconvenient, since it will reveal all the things that Hillary doesn’t want the public to see. Hillary is in the respect for truth, much less trustworthy than ‘Tricky Dicky’ who infamously said, ‘It isn’t a crime if the president does it.’ Dishonesty and suppressing the First Amendment isn’t a wrong if Hillary does it.

    Hillary is a tyrant in waiting.

      All the criticism against poor old Hillary is nothing but another vast right wing conspiracy to unfairly discredit her vast stockpile of lies with an eye opening dose of embarrassing truths.

      Every time head that bump Hillary comes ‘clean’ after getting caught telling a big lie, yet again, her critics pounce on her unsavory character and her rank dishonesty before Hillary even gets chance to brag about her willingness to reveal her latest epiphany to be ‘transparent’ about her newly revealed “slip-ups”

      Mitt Romney is a religious leader, equal to a Roman Catholic Cardinal, NEVER will the American people vote into the Presidential Office a Religious Leader, NEVER.
      And yet the Republican party ran with Mitt Romney – against – Barak Obama – and guess what – Barak Obama WON THE UNWINNABLE ELECTION.
      Now why do you think the Republican party Spin Doctors, on milion dollar salary’s, neglected to tell their Republican Bosses, that Mitt Romney, being a man of the cloth, could lose the election for them ?
      Go Figure.

        I completely disagree.

        And how do you conclude that “Mitt Romney is a religious leader, equal to a Roman Catholic Cardinal”? This is quite a stretch.

        Could this simply be your own *perception* of Mitt Romney, and nothing more? …since this was NOT the platform that he ran on, not even close.

          All adult male Mormons are “Elders” in the LDS.

          Some of the little known facts about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints:

          The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. After having been crucified in Jerusalem, Jesus appeared in North America and established His church here.

          Mormons wear “Magic underwear,” They are never without tit. It has magic symbols embroidered on it. When they take a bath they remove it all but one foot They hang that foot out of the bath tub until they wash themselves. Then they stick the clean foot out and put a clean pair on it and wash the other foot. Then they put on the whole thing. It is a one piece deal.

          Mormons believe that when the males die, they will become Gods like their present God and have harems in heaven as they had “Plural” wives until Utah became a state. (Sound familiar?)

          Much of Mormonism is based on the writings on an Egyptian mummy case which Smith bought from a travelling circus. He said the writing was in “Reformed Egyptian” which only he could read.

          There is more and more but this is a sampling of what Mitt Romney believes.

          I do not believe a word the man says and I will vote for Trump if he is nominated.

          I do not believe it is more bigoted to study and comment on Mormonism than it is to study and comment on Islam.

          I think Americans have a Constitutional Right to speak about anything, including hate speech. I am not sure what constitutes “hate speech”, but I know that studying a religion, and then disseminating information about what you have learned is NOT hateful. It’s an odd but well known peculiaritie that the written word can be infused with what ever emotion the reader wants or thinks the writer is demonstrating. If we ban ” hate speech”, banning “negative” speech is next and on it goes. I have to admit I am getting tired of people who used to be my friends, saying I “Spew hate”! It is kind of painful.

        Not the biggest Mitt Romney fan, although I did vote for him (considering the alternative). But the idea that he is a “religious leader” is just absurd.

        Mormonism has some disturbing roots–especially Joseph Smith’s clear admiration of Islam. But this faith with its reforms over the past hundred years is no danger today.

    The USA in IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN :-
    *Muslims who do not want to live under Islamic Law, but do not a safe haven to escape to.
    Therefore the current warring in the Middle East & Africa.
    The War With 7 Countries in 5 years Plan by the War Lords of the Pentagon of the USA, as told to the whole world, in a candid interview by USA General Wesley Clarke, can be see as a blessing from God Himself, because it will serve to set free Muslims under oppression throughout the Middle East & Nth Africa.
    Like the freeing of the Jews from slavery in Egypt.
    You see Robert, no one in their right mind, willingly wants to live a life of subjugation under a tyranical and antiquated regime, that is ever moving backward into the realms of a retarded nightmare.
    Europe is the safe haven, that will allow the tranition of the enslaved Muslims to break the shackles that have castrated their spirit for centuries.
    For, NEVER, Robert, has a concept forced upon a people survived a breath of fresh, free air to breathe.
    Great Speech – Thank You.
    P.S. Happy New Year – albeit late.

        Muslims have no concept of democracy nor do they wish to live in a democratic society. That is why the US should never have tried to Westernize Islamic countries They don’t want freedom because they have been brainwashed by Islam and married their first cousins for 15 centuries which has caused a very low IQ among the general population. That is why they are invading Western countries to try to abolish the freedoms we enjoy. It has nothing to do with “God.”

    After watching last night’s “debate”, one thing has become crystal clear for me. If the GOP does not support Trump, assuming he has the most delegates but less than the requisite 1,144 to avoid a potential brokered convention, then Hillary Clinton is assured the presidency.

    Stellar speech and introduction, Robert I hope you find comfort in knowing that Miley Cyrus has said she will leave the country if Trump is elected. If hillary the beast of Benghazi is elected? God help us all. I can’t afford to relocate. Of course barracktooey hussein obola zika could start WWIII before the election.This is a very interesting time to live in.

    • Carolyne says

      Mar 5, 2016 at 10:45 am

      Miley Cyrus leaving the country would be good news indeed. Al Sharpton has also said he would leave the country,. I don’t know if these idiots mean this as a threat, but it wouldn’t work because most thinking people know the country would be better without them.
      I remember Barbara Streisand saying she would leave if George W Bush were elected. I note she did not. She has made millions here and wouldn’t want to abandon her gravy train.

      Additionally, what country would have these people? Canada, with the exception of Breton Island (Where, they said, Muslims roam freely) which has said they would take anybody, has said they will not take American expatriots any more as they did during the Vietnam war.

    Mar 5, 2016 at 5:26 pm

    In his talk, Robert mentioned Dr Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the former Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation. When Ihsonoglu was in Australia in 2012 (to thank the then PM Kevin Rudd for the $1 million he gave to the new Islamic Museum in Melbourne), he also gave a talk at Griffith University in Brisbane. In response to a question about ‘9/11’, Ihsonoglu said, “That was a great problem for us, because now we have had to confront the West before we were ready.” I couldn’t believe my ears that the man would reply to such a question so openly – and neither could a plain clothes policeman sitting nearby, who shook his head in dismay. Perhaps Ihsonoglu thought we were all Muslims – or merely a group of indoctrinated dhimmis.
