Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Is the U.S. Government Now TRACKING ‘Right-Wing Extremists’?

May 10, 2016 1:15 pm By Robert Spencer

An FBI partner group called me one. Now — every time, dozens of times — I trigger a 20-minute investigation at the airport. My latest in PJ Media:

aa-ticket-counter

Is the Obama administration keeping tabs on “right-wing extremists”?

This question comes up because I’ve been informed that someone certainly is keeping tabs on me.

It started last summer. I don’t consider myself a “right-wing extremist” — but the far-Left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) does, and the FBI uses the SPLC as a resource. Since then, every time I fly — and I fly almost weekly – I can’t check in online. I am always directed to go to the airline counter.

There — as soon as I present my identification — the trouble starts. It generally proceeds like this:

  • The clerk types a great deal, frowns at the screen, types some more, asks me what my middle name is, types still more, looks at me quizzically, and gets on the phone.
  • They’re very secretive about these calls, sometimes even moving to a different desk to make them. They refuse to tell me anything about them afterward, including who they called or why.
  • The call usually takes around ten minutes. The whole process takes fifteen or twenty minutes. Then I am checked in and allowed to go to my gate.

After these long, unexplained delays — which had never occurred prior to last summer — happened to me five or six times consecutively, I asked an FBI agent of my acquaintance about it, and he kindly agreed to look into it. A few days later he told me that the strange delays weren’t about me, but about someone else: as it happened, he said, someone on some watch list or other is named Robert Spencer and shares my birthdate.

Hmm.

He said the FBI wasn’t watching me, and as far as he knew, no other government agency was either. But shortly thereafter, an airline clerk gave me a strong indication that what the FBI agent had told me was untrue.

After the clerk finished the long, mysterious phone call, he told me he was breaking the rules to tell me the following: the person on the other end had asked if I was planning on traveling to the UK.

I was not — because the UK has actually banned me from traveling there for the crime of noting that Islam has doctrines calling for violence against unbelievers.

Another time, a different clerk broke the rules again. He told me that the mysterious person he called had remarked: “He sure travels a lot.” Notably, he did not say anything that might confirm what the FBI agent had told me, like, say: “Let him go, that’s not the same Robert Spencer.”

As the behavior of the two desk clerks suggested that the delays were about me after all, I contacted a lawyer, who told me to submit a Redress Inquiry. I did, and in response I received a bland form letter from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), telling me essentially what the FBI agent had told me:

The U.S. Government has completed our review of your case. Your experience was most likely caused by a misidentification against a government record or by random selection.…

DHS recommends that you provide your redress control number when making your reservations.

However, I’ve done so numerous times since getting this number, and it never works. I still get the long and mysterious delay at airport counters every time I fly.

The hypothesis that a “right-wing extremist” identification now qualifies someone as a U.S. travel risk is not as preposterous as it might seem at first glance. (Again, note my UK ban.) For years, the Obama administration has shown a disturbing tendency to classify ordinary conservative Americans as terror threats. In April 2013, investigative journalist Todd Starnes of Fox News reported as such:

[T]he U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania.…

The incident occurred during an Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief on extremism.

The list was titled “Religious Extremism.” Topping it was “Evangelical Christianity (U.S./Christian),” followed by “Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt/Muslim)” and then “Ultra-Orthodox” (Israel/Judaism).”

A politically correct trifecta of the three main monotheistic religions. Statistical analysis regarding the frequency of violent behavior from those three groups be damned.

Also on the list: “Al Quaeda [sic] (Transnational/Islam)”; “Hamas (Palestinian/Islamist)”; Abu Sayyah [sic] (Philippines/Islam)”; “Ku Klux Klan (U.S/Christian)”; and “Catholicism (U.S./Christian),” among others.

The list also included “Islamophobia” as a form of “religious extremism.”

The implications of this are quite ominous. If evangelical Christianity, Catholicism and “Islamophobia” were forms of “Religious Extremism” on par with al-Qaeda and Hamas, how long would it be before the Obama administration went to war against them?

After all, the administration has repeatedly declared it is at war with al-Qaeda.

The list’s intentions were clear: those groups are to be considered “extremists” alongside jihadi groups. So how long might it be before accused “Islamophobes” like me have their whereabouts tracked just as suspected jihadis are tracked?

That list was not an isolated case. Investigative reporter Matthew Vadum reported in September 2013:

[C]onservative organizations are “hate groups” and Tea Party supporters are potentially dangerous extremists, according to educational materials the Obama administration is using to indoctrinate members of the nation’s armed forces.

Vadum also noted that a Defense Department diversity training center guide entitled “Extremism,” published in January 2013, warned:

[I]nstead of “dressing in sheets,” radicals today “will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”

The guide even identified the Founding Fathers as “extremists”:

In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.

Meanwhile, wrote Vadum:

[T]he DoD teaching guide treats Islamic terrorism as insignificant, ignoring, for example, the murder spree committed by self-described “soldier of Allah,” U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, at Fort Hood in 2009. The guide references Islamic extremism only in passing and doesn’t provide a precise definition for extremism. “[W]hile not all extremist groups are hate groups, all hate groups are extremist groups,” it states.

Hate groups. There we are.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is in the business of demonizing those who oppose its hard-Left agenda, falsely and libelously called me a “hate group leader” for my work exposing the motives and goals of jihad terrorists. Is there a dusty government office somewhere in Washington where my comings and goings — and those of others who have been smeared by the SPLC — are tracked in the Obama administration’s ongoing battle against “extremism”?…

    Hardly a surprise, given what we have learned since the Snowden leaks and IRS harrassment and so on and so forth.

    Fedgov probably has hacked your computer, Robert, and knows everything that is on your hard drive. Some JW readers work for fedgov, perhaps one of them will let you know, discreetly, what’s in your “enemy of the state” file. But beware, it could be an attempt by fedgov to entrap you.

    To a much lesser extent, this also goes for us, the readers and commenters across the globe living under governments pandering to Islam. I’m sure that I am in some database already, but probably not important enough for them to hack my computer. I am, however, careful of what I put into e-mails and what I say over the telephone.

    • Custos Custodum says

      May 10, 2016 at 3:52 pm

      Correct.

      NSA monitoring is much more far-reaching than most people realize, and expanding by leaps and bounds. NSA data acquisition covers snail mail, financial transactions, all health data, road tolls, phone location (when you are NOT making a call), etc. Much of the “intelligence” value is derived from “traffic analysis” (who communicates with whom/which websites, when, how) as much as review of the substance of communications (as parents of teenagers well know).

      Some of this snooping goes back at least to World War I (Woodrow Wilson), with quantum leaps in WW II and the Cold War and beyond (e.g. “Echelon.”) 9/11 was a convenient excuse to bring into the open programs that were being run on a strictly “unofficial” basis before.

      In recent years, the Obama administration has been much more shameless in its abuse of government power (e.g. IRS) to “punish” various “enemies” (aka citizens).

      Of course, sophisticated terrorists and criminals have learned to avoid official snooping. For example, Osama bin Laden was said to have relied exclusively on human messengers to communicate with the outside world.

      The left-leaning but useful EFF.ORG has plenty more details. (May induce insomnia.)

      Probably every computer that visits this site is known by them. And with all of the cameras, etc., there is no way to keep from being snooped. Those traveling a lot will be watched more.

      Christians were commanded by Christ to *preach.* Jews have their own requirements by which to live.
      If there are any hermits out there, they are likely the only ones not being watched electronically. But their little shacks in the woods are most likely on the map,

    Of course Catholics are extremists did’t they call for and fight the Crusade? Gee the murder of millions of Christians, the occupation of Christian lands and an all out attack on Europe that’s certainly not a provocation.
    The modus operandi of
    Islam is the same throughout history.
    The dhimmies on Downing Street and in the White House all aid and abet the destruction of freedom.
    Muhammad himself called for the conquest and forced submission of Egypt, Byzantium and Persia. They did not attack him they didn’t know who he was. Muhammad is the clear source of jihad. Those who believe he’s a prophet believe in jihad.

      All those Sikhs who valiantly fought, to defend their land and women from the Muslim invaders of Northern India were just nasty, bigoted, islamophobic ” Crusaders ”
      Those nasty warmongering Sikhs should of just handed over their land and women to all those nice peace loving Muslims, just like Europeans seem to be doing today.

      • Hari Singh says

        May 11, 2016 at 3:57 am

        Millions of Hindus and Sikhs were driven out of the Islamic state of Pakistan . Some say over a million were killed. Hatred for Islam runs deep in the Sikh majority Panjab and adjacent states of Harayana and Rajastan. Panjab is Muslim free basically.
        Although Ahimsa non violence is the basis for Hindu,Sikh,Buddhist religions the Sikhs understand stopping violence even with force is an act of piety. The people of India are not guilt ridden self haters and self destructive like many Westeners. They have no problem treating Islam as the threat it is, especially the current Prime Minister.
        India buys a billion dollars a year in weapons from Israel as they know Israel will not block sales because of Muslim objections. They both have the same problem.
        Recently when in Jerusalem Israel an Arab called me a kafir. I moved tp punch him, he ran off and the police who witnessed the incident laughed. Yes you might be an infidel but a dangerous one at that they chuckled.
        Israel is very positive about Indians especially Sikhs as they sense a similar spirit of resistance to jihad not found in Western Governments. Along with Israel and the USA the Sikhs were also mentioned in an Al Queda fatwa declaring war on them and permitting Muslims to kill them.
        Sikhs will not give Islam any more room then it takes to bury their gazis jihadis. Sikh soldiers in all wars with Pakistan wanted to liberate large portions of the Punjab but the Muslim savers in London and Washington stopped that. No reward for terror keep all lands conquered. Onwards to Lahore.

      An organization already exists to oppose fascism on university campuses, called FIRE. We need a similar group to defend against islamosmears, and need it badly. Some form of crowd funding method to pay for it (used in Canada by Steyn and Levant), or as probono work… Robert could hang the hate mongering bucket of sewage smearing him in Calgary out to dry, along with his mock-Christian boot lickers… Very little penalty would be required for socowaradly to pay upon losing, as he has NO credibility, and no real ‘damage’ could be claimed by Robert… unless of course a threat against him could be traced to Calgary…. the day of the presentation, or shortly after it. The need for his security and protection during his stay in Canada, and any harassment he suffered, were shameful

    May 10, 2016 at 2:50 pm

    Why are NGOs like the SPLC allowed to designate “hate” groups for the government? We seem to be paying for the government that pays for the government we get.

    The SPLC – looking for a reason to exist since Affimative Action. The CEO makes $320,000 just through compensation and so does the lead lawyer; no poverty here. The organization has net assets of about $300 million yet only takes in about $50 million/year. Any questions yet?

    The SPLC spends 23% of it’s donations to get more donations. Only 63% goes to programs and services. It appears its main business is staying viable by a shift into areas where the “poverty” in its name is becoming a necrotic appendage.

    After reading their ridiculous statements in support of Islam, their latest “charity” mailer went into the garbage. Yes, I really got one. They buy lists from other charities to which I’ve donated – remember they spend 23% of donations to get more money!

    Come to think of it, the government may have decided to use the SPLC as a reference and attack dog because of their similarities to be SJWs and to inefficiently burn up dollars they didn’t earn.

      “S” “P” LC plays a crucial role in the media-government ecosystem, as shown in this peace.

      How it works: An underling at DHS or the White House calls in a tip. The 23-year-old SPLC desk officer (Masters from Georgetown) undertakes an in-depth, sophisticated, 21.3 second review against a secret list in her drawer to confirm that the suspect is NOT a communist front organization designated by mistake. With this hurdle cleared, the suspect is listed as an “extremist” organization.

      With cover provided by SPLC, media and government entities (even FBI) can now point to the “independent” SPLC “designation” as “evidence” of extremism to stigmatize and isolate the target while avoiding responsibility for an obviously malicious judgment call.

      All as taught by Saul Alinsky in his “Rules for Radicals” (dedicated to Satan):

      “Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.”

    The UK is obviously wrong to ban Robert Spencer for supporting Israel or for teaching people the jihad doctrine of classical Islam. The present mayor of London has said he supports Israel.

    Is this the problem? Or does UK have a secret agreement with a dictatorship or a religious group that has made a deal … as long as UK bans Spencer?

    Who is calling the shots in UK? Are UK politicians bribed by Saudis? Are politicians actually trying to restrict our freedom of speech when it is inconvenient to them politically or when someone makes them look bad?

    If politicians are fighting the freedom of speech it is our job to protest. If anything, such politicians are like Richard Nixon, believing they are above the law.

    Our leaders are NOT above the law. UK politicians are creating more problems by crushing freedom of expression. UK politicians need to promote more free speech if they want to have their voices heard when they are in opposition!

    Debate is a sometimes painful but an essential step to arriving at consensus. Censorship is too dangerous, because one’s mortal enemies can use it to crush debate.

      From their point of view, it is NOT “wrong.” Banning Robert Spencer is entirely consistent with the new dhimmified, circling-the-drain UK persona created by Anthony Blair and refined by “Dave” Cameron.

      The UK doesn’t deserve Mr. Spencer as a visitor. On the bright side, this means he has more time to dedicate to (slightly) more deserving countries.

    I agree with linnte. The SPLC should pay through their collective noses for defamation of character against Robert.

    OT…confession time. I found Jihad Watch via the SPLC. JW was designated a hate group on their site and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I expected shit like “the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim” or “Islam is for pigs.” Instead, I stumbled upon intelligent, stimulating, engaging and thoughtful posts/comments that got me thinking.

        The controversy over Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson’s declaration that no Muslim should be president of the United States escalated on Monday, as civil liberties groups and rival politicians registered their disapproval and an Islamic American relations advocacy group called for Carson to end his candidacy.
        Critics said that Carson’s statement ran counter to the US constitution and to the American ideal, and that it bespoke a dangerous prejudice.”

        And never forget, how many Democrat Presidents of yore, were actually members of KKK, one hell of a miserable pathetic organization. Nothing for the Dems to brag about, but it is reality. Such groups and persons were no heroes, it is well understood, by most good and intelligent people.

        How American Soldiers Used Pig’s Blood and Corpses to Fight Muslim Terrorism
        Before political correctness, our soldiers were free to fight back.
        February 26, 2016
        Daniel Greenfield

        A century before American soldiers fought Muslim terrorism in the Middle East, they fought it in the Philippines. Their attackers were Moro Muslims whose savage fanaticism appeared inexplicable. A formerly friendly Muslim might suddenly attack American soldiers, local Muslim rulers promised friendship while secretly aiding the terrorists and the yellow left-wing press at home seized on every report of an atrocity to denounce American soldiers as murderers whose honor was forever soiled.
        Much of what went on in that conflict, including the sacrifices of our soldiers, has been forgotten. The erasure has been so thorough that the media casually claims that the American forces did not use pig corpses and pig’s blood to deter Muslim terrorists. Media fact checks have deemed it a “legend”.
        It’s not a legend. It’s history.
        The practice began in the Spanish period. A source as mainstream as the New Cambridge History of Islam informs us that, “To discourage Juramentados, the Spaniards buried their corpses with dead pigs.”
        Juramentados was the Spanish term for the Muslim Jihadists who carried out suicide attacks against Christians while shouting about Allah. American forces, who had little experience with Muslim terrorists, adopted the term and the Spanish tactics of burying Muslim terrorists alongside dead pigs.
        It was a less sensitive age and even the New York Times blithely observed that, “The Moros, though they still admire these frenzied exits from the world, have practically ceased to utilize them, since when a pig and a man occupy a single grave the future of the one and the other are in their opinions about equal.”
        The New York Times conceded that the story “shocked a large number of sensitive people,” but concluded that, “while regretting the necessity of adopting a plan so repugnant to humane ideas, we also note that the Moros can stop its application as soon as they choose, and therefore we feel no impulse either to condemn its invention or to advise its abandonment. The scheme involves the waste of a certain amount of pork, but pork in hot climates is an unwholesome diet, anyhow, and the less of it our soldiers and other ‘infidels’ in the Philippines have to eat the better for them.”
        Colonel Willis A. Wallace of the 15th Cavalry claimed credit for innovating the practice in March 1903 to dissuade the Muslim terrorist who believed that “every Christian he kills places him so much closer in contact with the Mohammedan heaven.”
        “Conviction and punishment of these men seemed to have no effect,” Colonel Wallace related. After a “more than usually atrocious slaughter” in the marketplace, he had the bodies of the killers placed on display and encouraged “all the Moros in the vicinity who cared to do so to come and see the remains”.
        “A great crowd gathered where the internment was to take place and it was there that a dead hog, in plain view of the multitude, was lifted and placed in the grave in the midst of the three bodies, the Moro grave-diggers themselves being required to do this much to their horror. News of the form of punishment adopted soon spread.”
        “There is every indication that the method had a wholesome effect,” Colonel Wallace concluded.
        Colonel Wallace was certainly not the only officer to bury pigs with Muslim terrorists in the Philippines, though he was apparently the only one to discuss it in such great detail.
        Medal of Honor winner Colonel Frank West buried three pigs with three Muslim terrorists after the murder of an American officer. He appears to have done so with the approval of General Pershing. Some stories mention Colonel Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry becoming so celebrated for it that he was known to Moro Muslims as “The Pig”. One contemporary account does describe him burying a pig with the corpse of a Muslim terrorist who had murdered an American soldier.
        Rear Admiral Daniel P Mannix III had contended that, “What finally stopped the Juramentados was the custom of wrapping the dead man in a pig’s skin and stuffing his mouth with pork”.
        Media fact checks have claimed that General John “Black Jack” Pershing would not have offended Muslims by authorizing such a course of action and that any claims of his involvement are also a legend.
        General Pershing however wrote in his autobiography that, “These Juramentado attacks were materially reduced in number by a practice that the Mohamedans held in abhorrence. The bodies were publicly buried in the same grave with a dead pig. It was not pleasant to have to take such measures, but the prospect of going to hell instead of heaven sometimes deterred the would-be assassins.”
        We can be certain then that the practice of burying Muslim terrorists with pigs was indeed real and fairly widespread. Was pig’s blood also used on Muslim terrorists as a deterrent to prevent attacks?
        The Scientific American described just such an event. In a hard look at the area, it wrote of a place where, “Polygamy is universally practiced and slavery exists very extensively. Horse stealing is punishable by death, murder by a fine of fifty dollars. The religion is Mohamedan.”
        A Muslim terrorist, the magazine wrote, “will suddenly declare himself ‘Juramentado’, that is inspired by Mohammed to be a destroyer of Christians. He forthwith shaves his head and eyebrows and goes forth to fulfill his mission.”
        The Scientific American described how a Muslim terrorist who had disemboweled an American soldier was made an example of. “A grave was dug without the walls of the city. Into this the murderer was unceremoniously dropped. A pig was then suspended by his hind legs above the grave and the throat of the animal cut. Soon the body lay immersed in gore… a guard stood sentry over the grave until dusk when the pig was buried side by side with the Juramentado.”
        “This so enraged the Moros that they besieged the city. Matters became so grave that General Wood felt called upon to disperse the mob resulting in the death of a number of Moros.”
        It is clear from these accounts which encompass General Pershing’s autobiography, the New York Times and the Scientific American that the use of pig corpses and pig’s blood in the Philippines was not a legend, but fact. It was not carried out by a few rogue officers, but had the support of top generals. It was not a single isolated incident, but was a tactic that was made use of on multiple occasions.
        American forces in the Philippines faced many of the same problems that our forces do today. But they were often free to find more direct solutions to them. When Muslim rulers claimed that they had no control over the terrorists whom they had sent to kill Americans, our officers responded in kind.
        “Shortly after General Bates’ arrival on the island, the Sultan sent word that there were some half dozen Juramentados in Jolo over whom he had no control. General Bates replied, ‘Six hundred of my men have turned Juramentado and I have no control over them.’”
        Another version of this story by Rear Admiral Mannix III had Admiral Hemphill dispatching a gunboat to shell the Sultan’s palace and then informing him that the gunboat had “turned Juramentado”. As with pig corpses and blood, such blunt tactics worked. Unfortunately political correctness makes it difficult to utilize them today. And political correctness carries with it a high price in American lives.
        It is important that we remember the real history of a less politically correct time when American lives mattered more than upsetting those whom the New York Times deemed “sensitive people” and what another publication dismissed as the “sensitive spirit” of the Muslim terrorist.
        But as that publication suggested, “It is not necessary to go into spasms about the insult to the Mahometan conscience. Every Christian that walks the earth is a living insult to that ‘sensitive spirit’”.
        “The murderer may feel that he is unduly treated by being defiled with the touch of the swine, but he can avoid it by refraining from becoming a practical Juramentado. Our sympathies, if anywhere, are with the innocent pig slaughtered for such a purpose and buried in such company.”
        These days we do not bury pigs with Muslim terrorists. Our political and military leaders shudder at the thought of Muslims accusing us of blasphemy. And so instead we bury thousands of American soldiers.

          What you said in your prologue is why I used the term ‘apocryphal’ as I had seen a supportive Trump comment about the speeches, but claiming the story was itself likely untrue.

          Your contribution of the ‘knish’, for me, nails it down as true or likely so, given this arena, addressing pure gang-cult evil, and the actually unbelievable but unimaginably all true vile, vicious, miserable acts of crime eternally committed for 1400 years, onwards, at the command of the thieves of islam, that is all islam is, a gang of thieves and murderers, who steal wealth, life, lives, and all possibilities for good, of so many, too many people, when even one is too many……..

      No in your right-wing ideological world you are seeing things from one perspective of hatred…the problem is not hatred in those trying to solve this problem with tolerance, they are misguided because they believe that ‘Islam is peace’ – when WE all know it is no such thing – they are simply trying to convince everyone that peaceful behavior is the way to go, generally that is true for all humans, whatever religion or cult they follow. But Islam itself is the problem, not Muslims in general who represent a huge cross-section of belief intensity, just like any belief system. We all know quiet little people who just get on with their lives and are kind to their neighbors, they can be of any faith, including Muslims. The problem is those who pay attention & believe the book/s of the cult…that leads them right to the Jihad we are seeing now, and THEY cause ever more upswing of intensity towards violence.
      This IS a problem for us, and we have to address it, but it is not a simple matter. Those trying to “keep things under control” need to realize that unless the problem is understood as coming from the cult’s literature and SAYING SO – it cannot be controlled – they are doing the same thing that Europe tried with the Nazis, who just continued on their merry way to violence & terror ! We need to point THAT out to Michelle Obama & others falling into the trap, but getting belligerent towards them won’t solve anything except make you look like a nasty person yourself ! Which is why you see Robert so carefully arguing with facts & what those scripts actually say !!

    Seems the federal government is compounding stupidity by adding mendacity to it. All part of the reason why increasingly I find myself loving my country but detesting my government. There has become a huge difference between the two as of late, which is hard to miss unless you’re a doofus. Sadly, however, doofuses abound nowadays.

    And I am not some right-wing extremist who sees black helicopters in the sky and is storing up for Armageddon. Rather, I consider myself a Jeffersonian liberal, which is to say a Reagan conservative (my, how things have flipped in two hundred years), which is say that government is best which ordinarily governs least.

    Of course, making such a statement in the minds of so many silly people who work for the federal government would in and of itself type me as a a right-wing extremist, so dominated by leftist thought has the federal government become. Just look at how the Tea Party was looked upon by so many feds, including those parasites who work for the IRS, as an extremist movement. And why? Why because the Tea Party wanted less government and for this Tea Party members were typed as bigoted, racist, et al. Unfortunately, Leftthink has increasingly come to dominate those in government, including many Republicans who ought to be ashamed of themselves and which helps to partially explain the rise of Donald Trump, so sick have millions of Americans become of the stupidity and mendacity of the federal government, which government should look upon Robert Spencer as the great American who he is rather than treating him as a pariah. Indeed, the Age of Nonsense marches on.

    Sobering reading!!

    But there are a lot of similarities with Europe.

    In the UK these was a Church of England group – the vicar – that claimed they received a letter from the British Home Office stating they were an ‘extremist’ organisation. The reason given – was they publicly held that marriage is between an man and a woman.

    It is understandable how the Obama administration – can go back to America’s founding fathers and call them extremists – under the criteria – used to measure the CoE group – all our grandparents would be classed as ‘extremists’.

    ::

    There is Angela Merkel – 1.5 million people added to her country – 20% of whom are Syrian – anyone who disagrees with or complains about her mass immigration policy – even the victims of the many sexual assaults – are labeled [publicly shamed] as ‘right-wing extremists’. It was only being beaten at the polls – that dulled her arrogant edge.

    ::

    ‘Islamophobia’ ~ might finally have a use!

    Interesting that they classed ‘Islamophobia’ as a religious extremism – with religion being the byword. Groups like CAIR actually use the term ‘Islamophobe’ to describe ex-Muslims and those Muslims who want real reform in Islam – that being the rejection of the religion’s political and military aspects. So that the word has come to mean – the belief which is in opposition to Islam as it is practised – more or less surreptitiously in the west and more openly around the world. What more fervent believer than the one who understands – not the politically correct or presentation version of Islam – but the actual belief.

    Take the example of Obama’s father – as Obama recalled – used to say Islam was hocus pocus. In some EU countries Obama’s father might be brought to trial for ‘offending’ a religious belief [just say Islam]. Though, it might be argued that because it was his own religion that he should be allowed to express such beliefs. But with the equality of law – then what applies to Obama’s father – must apply for all.

    What is happening today is an effort to criminalize belief.

    Still outside of this – is that other piece of paper – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – that guarantees Obama’s father the right to not only believe that Islam was hocus pocus – but to openly express that belief.

    And any effort to block him from congregating and sharing his belief that Islam is hocus pocus – would be in violation of the freedom to assemble.

    Such that the rejection of Islam – is a protected religious belief. And the same protection that are offered to those who practise Islamic should be offered to those who reject it’s teachings.

    Theoretically someone approaches you in a hostile and forceful manner – and has deemed you an ‘Islamophobe’ – and calls you a “racist” and a “Nazi” – you should likewise be able to show that it was – hate speech. In fact if your feelings where hurt in anyway…. and you felt that your solemnly held beliefs were not treated with the same level of respect and sensitivity…. as with other accepted beliefs… we could insist on sensitivity training to held others to better understand the ‘Islamophobia’ system of belief….

    ::

    Indigenous Rights

    Interesting something that Hungary is doing – against this Islamization effort being forced onto their country – they are saying – the Hungarian people are a native people – like the Aboriginals of Australia and the Native Americans – so that any attempt to force change on their way of life or culture is against international law.

If she and the Administration could get this poor guy that made that atrocious hack of a film about Muhammad locked up, then later use that same film in the Benghazi cover up, they sure as hell can make Robert’s air travel a misery.

    No doubt one of Barry’s muslim pals has whispered in his ear that he was upset by all the “hate speech” radiating out of JihadWatch. Or maybe it was one of Hillary’s friends, like maybe Huma passed the word on to her. Or even Erdogan of Turkey or some Saudi Prince. So they are harassing Robert. It is clear as day.

My suitcase (checked into the hold) was searched every time I flew. In one of the speeches I made I referred to your quote “only the Koran!” when you were questioned as to whether you had any hate literature in your suitcase.

    So yes, if you speak out against Islam your name will most certainly be on a list, courtesy of the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House.

    It is uknown what the criteria is to end up on a “list”, it is probably as simple as visiting a website, or a link, a fb page, or just typing certain words and hitting send, my 17 year old cousin is on TSA watchlist every time he flies he is harassed. They claim its because of his name, but we expect its his parents conservative viewpoints. I know I’m on one. Something is coming from all of this what it is isnt exactly clear, its like everyone in touch with reality knows its coming. The terrorist in the whitehouse is getting his jihad job done.

    Hate is not always bad. See http://www.mypracticalphilosophy.com/shelp/shhateval.htm . Hating the Southern Poverty Law Center is good. Hating evil is good.

    Here are two paragraphs from an article titled Moral people must learn how to Hate by Rabbi Shmueli Boteach:

    Hatred does not cause wars, it ends them. Because Churchill truly hated Hitler, he inspired a nation to put an end to his blitzkrieg conquests. The French, who did not hate Hitler, collaborated with him, instead. It is indifference to evil, rather than its hatred, that sends a message to the tyrants that they pick on anyone they like for the world will be silent.

    He who does not hate Abu Musab al Zarkawi – a monster who shouts “God is great” while sawing off the heads of innocent human beings – is barely human themselves. Can a man love innocent victims without hating their tormentors? Loving victims might generate compassion for their suffering. But hating the perpetrators will generate action to stop their orgy of murder.

    Obama & Hillary — Hate all Catholics.

    They have a visceral bigoted religious animosity against all Catholics.
    They must understand that that kind of religious intolerance is not to be tolerated in a multi- cultural society.

    I just reported both of them to the SPLC.
    Soon they too will be on a no fly list.

    Thu is inevitable with Marxists they begin as Liberals claiming “income Equality” for everyone but themselves as they rape their followers in every Democratically created hellhole in america. There is not one Detroit in any Conservative State in America only Democrats create and maintain hellholes for their black and illegal followers. They can’t help themselves there is not enough tax dollars to fund all their wild schemes as we are now seeing.Sanders can’t explain how he funds free education, free healthcare, free child care, free elections, free military, free hellholes…….Stalin, Hitler and Mao did the same and they all ended up murdering 300,000,000 followers who wouldn’t “tow the party line”[ their version of political correctness” where only one mind makes all decisions.A good current example is Venezuela under Hugo Chavez a Stalin disciple Venezuela is now a living hellhole, like Detroit and Chicago, where people have no toilet paper the newspapers shut down the radios are quiet and the people look like ghetto Jews under Hitler, their idol.Obama went to Cuba to bolster his own image and Castro mocked him and called him a fraud and a fool to his face.Obama’s media , of course, said nothing .Elect Hillary or any Democrat and this is what America become by 2018…….

    If you lean toward anything that is good, virtuous, and was part of the foundation of our countries culture then you are now the enemy because the current regime is tearing it all down to rebuild as they want it to be. So, if you frequent this site or others showing truth and common sense, you could be tracked as a suspicious person. They only want everyone to watch TV news and liberal entertainment. Oh, and don’t try home schooling your kids or putting them in private school. You need to support the liberal education industry or you may add to your threatening posture. But don’t dismay, we will win in the end.

    The comments in this site should be kept non-political since Robert’s target is to further information about the truth of Islam and not about either Right or Left politics in the US.
    All you do when you preach hatred of those Lefties or the opposite is just ‘muddy the waters’ of the discussion of Islam as a subject.
    I do not feel that politics has ANYTHING to do with this subject, I am in here because I found the site very useful and very helpful in getting to grips with what was going on in the world of Islam. If you preach hate-filled political views here all you are doing is lowering the standard of discussion of something that is very important to everyone in the West, of either Right or Left political faith ! All you do with the hateful speech is chase away plenty of people who actually would support this site ! The times are critical so let’s keep to the subject at hand shall we and try to support the clear truth.

    • Hope says

      May 11, 2016 at 6:19 pm

      I disagree. Many people here on JW see that politics has everything to do with the issue of islamic jihad, both the terror jihad and the cultural (stealth) jihad. Barack Obama is Problem Number One, and it trickles down from there.

      In addition, while Leftist viewpoints are welcomed and applauded almost everywhere, those of us on the Right are silenced, insulted, and vilified on a regular basis at work, in public, even among friends and relatives. Where can we go, besides JW, to exercise our freedom of speech?

    • Laura says

      May 11, 2016 at 6:29 pm

      It would be much easier to do as you suggest, if the left political “faith” were not, in general, so ignorant of the purpose of islam.

    • TJFreedomjihad says

      May 11, 2016 at 7:36 pm

      The water has already too long been muddied by the opposition left, the ones who follow with earnest glee the Rules for Radicals of Saul Alinsky. The political left uses and has used any tool they can as a marxist style sledge hammer to get their nefarious ways. They are subversives, as zombies with no conscience, no care for America, no mind to even think of the consequences of their self-serving subversive actions. The majority act like the mayor of Flint Mich. a democrat referred to as Dr., and alleged to be a crook, beyond an incompetent, who must have slept overnight at the Holiday Inn.

      Your comment is naïve, to be charitable. Reality and the world cannot live without politics. Without politics, a next option is war. It is the growing drumbeat of subversive activity of the leftist Democrats, and other progressives, socialists, and marxists, who put their arms around the evil of islam, caring not a moment the consequence to all our future, your future included and none of which will be good, for welcoming into the West, America, actual cults and gangs of criminals. And in fact, such action is POLITICAL!! Their primary goals are manipulation at ANY price, to get their way, and support of anyone (votes, power, influence at the cost of any lie that gets the sucker voters to comply and fall for the central planning socialist-marxist story), legal or extra-legal, as extra voters, so overwhelming is the value of power and money, to each corrupt politician.

      America is forgotten in the shuffle, nearly always. So is reality, of the left, who promises everything, delivers a tiny bit if that, so the naïve public forgets the hussein phones, all the Bernie imaginary giveaways, like free college, free everything in his typical imaginary marxist socialist utopia, that leads to the hell of Venezuela, and even the fact that in Brazil, most of the governing officials are under indictment for corruption, and the leader is being impeached. People of democratic like governments in the free world are all very angry, and disappointed at the crooked posers in the current world. Europe is aflame erupting with anger. It is said 2/3 of Germans want merkel gone!!

      Most bankrupt cities are due to democrats. Look at Flint, with a Mayor Karen Weaver, D., who is now under allegation, for channeling public relief donation funds into her private accounts.

      Robert needs always to remain professional, and he so does exceedingly well, and he likewise must stick with the subject of exposing the danger, the evil, the devils, and deceit of the gang-cult of islam. We commentators acting reasonably professionally in behavior and intent, may wander more into the larger reality of the whole world, responsibly, to add often much to the discussion, that he simply hasn’t the time, need, or capacity alone to accomplish. Moreover, commentators add a kind of ‘political voter sentiment’, which itself strengthens. That world is intimately intertwined with politics, and all of that infamous “garden of good and evil”. It is so, no matter what your persuasion happens to be. And if politics should not be brought into the picture, than when, and whom do you expect will expose the subversive islamophilic intertwined behavior of all such guilty politicians from the top on down, selling us out not only to themselves, but worse even still to the absolute enemy of islam, the gang-cult?

      That is part of our support function as commenters!!! In fact, and if you are on the wrong side of politics, and it is making you feel uncomfortable, perhaps defensive, then look up cognitive dissonance, to be direct, consider perhaps it is thus so, and think of getting on the right side.

      The bottom line is that the so called “lefties”, the liberal democrats, progressives, socialists, marxists, et al, are in it politically up to their rooftops, by deceit and lying in support of our declared, by the enemy itself, at the least, enemy that is at war with us, by a devil of an imaginary so called god. It is the history of islam writ very large that only death of large and terrible degree, is all they are concerned with to defeat them. And also pigs in death. We’ve lost too many men fighting such a worthless crazed and ‘political’ group, already, the enemy being essentially zombies, often well educated, but lacking wisdom, and also exceedingly deceptively political.

      IT IS ESPECIALLY THESE LEFTIES, WHOM YOU WOULD LIKE TO AVOID EXPOSING THEIR GUILT AND ROLES IN THIS WAR, WHO ARE SUBVERSIVE ENOUGH AND STUPID ENOUGH TO “BUY” IT, FOR THEIR OWN SELF-SERVING NEFARIOUS ENDS, including the naïve religious leaders who have bought into the enemies “bridge building” narrative, of bridges to the devil, to satan (ON WHICH BRIDGES WE CHRISTIAN, JEWS, AND ATHEISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO CRAWL TO THE DEVIL ON OUR KNEES, WHEN WE ARE ADEQUATELY MESMERIZED, OR SO THE ENEMY ISLAM PLANS!), which is the evil our religious leaders are playing with!

      vcragain: If you can’t see that politics in the West has a great deal to do with this “subject,” then you are utterly useless to the anti-jihad cause. As Robert Spencer himself has detailed in article after article for years now here at JW, the Left has made an alliance with the Muzzies to shut down free speech in the West. My God man, how blind can you be?

      Besides, and aside from this particular “subject’,” and as Aristotle opined, man is a political animal. Wake up, will ya’.

      • vcragain says

        May 12, 2016 at 5:34 am

        Sorry – you are all just falling into the left/right conspiracy theme, while I realize a lot of people here feel very passionately about their beliefs, it makes no sense to just label all ‘Lefies’ as criminally conspiring fools – the amazing thing is that a large % of highly educated people tend to be ‘Lefties’ which I guess you will just say proves your point about education & all those people who are trained to think too much. My plea for a little tolerance & understanding of other’s political views stands as before. Anyone who wants to blast me for saying so is being intolerant ! I do not agree that considering Islam a threat to the West SHOULD mean I am in the camp of the political Right – silly – the FACT of something does not make a political view. You cannot win with YOUR plea for everyone to believe this theory if you are making it impossible for them to consider your idea. You are of course allowed to say whatever you like here, that is what we all hope to keep in the West.
        Tell you what – if you wish for this concept to become more widely accepted by ‘people like me’ who you consider to have made an ‘alliance with the Muzzies’ – then why not keep the hate out of your language so that we might actually listen to you ? You have no argument the minute you get nasty – I could also say a lot of hateful things about people here – but i am being tolerant. because I know you see things from a certain perspective. so that we can discuss the idea – THAT is wrong ? so unless I jump into your hate-filled mode I cannot discuss this ?
        I do know btw that Robert tends toward a right-wing view of the world, and he may have a certain view of Obama that pops up sometimes, but he does not generally get political in his writings – and I have not been seeing hate speech here except in the comments – he knows that achieves nothing ! I do think he really believes in his theory about Islam quite separately from any ideas he has of who or what should be running the US.
        I guess all of you who are angrily ‘blasting’ me would really like me to just go away and get out of your group because I do not ‘belong’ – therein lies the problem – that ‘belonging’ is the root of all human issues – including Islam btw !
        Blessings to all looking for the truth in life !

    Mark Comrade Duch Tushnet of the Harvard Law School has just come out to say that the culture wars are over, and Leftists should now treat vanquished Christian conservatives as if they were Nazis or Japanese war criminals. This tells us what we are up against.

    Thank you Robert, for speaking out. The U.S. government apparently believe that the words of Beautiful Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, are a threat and that Christians who LOVE Jesus are a threat as big as Al Qaeda and Hamas. In the nineties, I read that the U.S. government were keeping lists of innocent people.

    ‘The U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas’

    From Jesus World Famous Sermon on the Mount:
    Bible, Matthew 5: Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

    “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

    “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

    “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

  44. UNCLE VLADDI says

    May 11, 2016 at 10:19 pm

    The whole “right-wing radicalization” slander attempt is typical of the criminal islamo-communazis’ immoral relativism – their #1 alibi to excuse their crimes is the Argumentum Tu Quoque “Two wrongs make a right!” fallacy: “We (leftists/muslims) aren’t evil because you all do it, too! Whee!”

    So, in order to “prove” this fallacy, they need to cherry-pick (or mock up fake) “evidence” that others “do it too!”

    Libertine “liberal” socialists (criminal gangster extortionists) are the real “islamophobes” – which is why they automatically defend the muzi crime-gang!

    THEY are the ones who recognize islam is scary, but since they are literal psycho-paths (thought killers) who instantly pretend the fear of fear is the worst crime (because it hurts feelings) they mock those rational people who openly admit it as “cowards.”

    And these libertine “liberals” (criminal gangster extortionists) love to blame their victims!

    Here’s an obvious difference between the left and right: remember the old adage about “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, but teach him how to fish, and you’ve fed him for a lifetime!”?

    “Rightists” (if they in fact really exist at all) are all for individual self-reliant responsibility, and so want to teach people how to fish (fend) for them selves, while leftists want their victims to become dependent on them, as slaves are to a master; i.e:

    “Vote for us again, or you won’t get tomorrow’s fish – CAPISCE!?”

    😉

    “Socialism” is criminal gangster extortion leading to slavery. That’s really all it is.

    “Right wingers” are only normal people who don’t like being extorted by “socialist” gangsters.

    Gangster victimologists always feel endangered by proud individualists.

    Honestly, people – “right wingers” don’t actually exist. Hitler was a National SOCIALIST.

    And even “Fascism” was invented by Benito Mussolini, the devoted Italian SOCIALIST.

    So, what’s a “right winger?” It’s any normal person who wakes up enough to take a bit of time off from minding their own businesses to temporarily band together to vote to not be extorted any more by group-might-makes-rights-worshiping “socialist” gangster criminals.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    These generalizations are slanders against large groups, the use by which they hope they won’t be sued for libel, because the groups are so large as to not have leaders.

    The reason they don’t provide any specific examples in comparison is that they can’t.

    Mr. Spencer if they have done this then just imagine what else they have done. Maybe they tapped your phone, maybe they have been reading your paper mail, maybe they even went so far as to enter your house when youre not home and take a look around, maybe they installed some kind of listening devices, maybe they have been reading your Facebook and email and looking at your online activities. What happened to you shows how far we have come and how much freedom is being lost, most people who have had strange occurrences happen to them prefer not to speak about it as not to make a big
    scene as some people will say youre crazy you’re being paranoid the government is not following you, the government isn’t doing this and that but these things are happening to many people who have absolutely nothing to do with Muslims or Islam or Islamic terrorism, it happened maybe because they made a comment once, or they made a joke or somehow they were put in the system as being extremists or suspected of being extremists and now their freedom is up for grabs. That Us Army terror list actually lists Evangecals and Catholics alongside Islamic terrorists. This is a political list not a list based on reality and you can see this in its political correct choice to list non muslims that have virtually no terrorism coming from them next to muslims that do this all the time. This would result as you have seen yourself in parts of the security net being directed at people that are not terrorists not even close to terrorists which means we would be less safe, it’s like a fisherman putting his net in the air where there are no fish some, small birds will land on the net and just sit there and then fly off, maybe if hes lucky he might catch a big one but he certainly will not catch any fish.
