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

Video: Robert Spencer on The Saad Truth — Is Opposition to Jihad Terror “Bigotry”?

May 20, 2016 2:07 pm By Robert Spencer

This morning I was interviewed by Dr. Gad Saad on his Saad Truth program. It was a wide-ranging conversation, in which we answered numerous Leftist objections to resisting jihad terror.

    The Gadfather took his sweet time to ask the #1 JihadWatcher for an interview 😉

    Wake up Dr,.Sad. oppression to jihad terror is not,at all, “bigotry ” It’s a noble and grand quest for the good and the right. Which involves much conviction and and fortitude. As stated ,so well, be Thomas Jefferson who declared “A conviction that we are in the right accomplishes half the difficulty of correction wrong.” Likewise, Mr. .Jefferson said ” Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties ;Not to fly from them.”

      Correct. Defending yourself against an enemy which wants to kill you is not bigotry.
      Preventing a person not of your ethnicity from raping your daughter is not bigotry.
      When someone attacks you and you defend yourself you do so for your bodily safety, not out of bigotry.

    To oppose jihad terror is keep with steadiness for what is right is doing what is right and is a praiseworthy thing to do and not “bigotry.” As Thomas Jefferson explained ” “Our part then is to pursue with steadiness what is right…assured that public approbation will in the end be with us.”

    Nice one, I can predict that more liberal youtubers will start to invite Robert, as they are already inviting Tommy Robinson, who is a hero BTW, as much as Robert is also.

    It isn’t bigotry to protect what is yours.

    I have never before heard of Gad Saad or his program (where?) “Saad Truth”.
    But the name “Saad” drew my attention, because it is the same name as
    my favorite CAIR contact, Saad Mohammed:
    http://www.cairoklahoma.com/profile?id=5082d017b79921175300001c
    This CAIR official can be reached at smohammed@cair.com .
    Saad Mohammed gained nationwide fame in 2010 for his assertion
    that the U.S. federal constitution is 80 percent sharia-compliant. See
    http://www.edmondsun.com/news/local_news/sharia-law-courts-likely-on-ballot/article_a9028340-24bd-5675-9b2a-9c62650e3cae.html
    “Saad Mohammed, director of Islamic information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, said 80 percent of the U.S. Constitution is compatible with Sharia, which leads to justice and equality for all.”

    Saad, meet Saad. A conversation between you two could be very interesting.
    This meeting has been arranged by Fate and the gods of onomastic coincidence.

    One of the best interviews of Robert I’ve seen. Robert was at his extraordinarily articulate best, and the interviewer himself was no slouch in that department. In fact the interviewer was outstanding, combining quick-footedness with wit and fluency.

    Confirmation, if any was needed, that attacking jihad is the same as attacking islam, now all we need is for our governments to understand that and act accordingly.

    Or do they already know, and that is their justification for not fighting the jihadists?

    Media-Darling Muslim Selfie Girl: ‘Hitler Left Some Jews So We’d Know Why He Killed Them’

      The remaining Jews were saved by God to show how false and blind was your outlook,and further , how stupid were you compared to any common Jew.
      The Jews were the first to get into the falsehood and deception played by mohamad to the gullible nomad Arab tribes. The Jews were already an advanced people of Yathrib , the city mohamad snatched from the Jews and renamed it Medinat un Nabi . The Jews outright rejected mohamad’s claim of prophethood . This single decision shows that the were much advanced in comparison to the Bedouin tribes of the Arab desert. Mohamad as a blind power crazy could never perdon the Jews for being exposed by them.He outright changed the Kibla,the direction of prayer of the mulims from Jerusalem to Mecca. Even at this move the monad Bedouins were not able to get to mohamad’s falsehood !!!!
      This legacy of vengeance is carried even to this day by the equally (if not more ) blindly stupid followers of mohamad ,the cunning , known as muslims.
      The scourge still looming large.
      Recognise that Islam is the problem ,instead of being blind.

    These islamists and their left accomplices have even changed the meaning of the words as we understand those. Conspiracy to this level can only be inspired by a deepest pathological hatred bereft of any logic that is grounded on reality. They always sneak past the events as if those have never occurred. It is a dark domain for any person with a normal gift of human logic. Intense jealousy may be their guiding Satan .It seems to me that these are not normal human beings. They are ,hence , to be handled in a different way,that has not been worked out as yet.A strategy to engage this evil is to be made available to common man to launch an extended struggle to save our posterity .

    Excellent interview where two honest intellectuals come to the conclusion that the fight to maintain, in democratic countries, freedom of speech and to abide by the countries’ laws becomes more and more difficult, considering the important number of moslems already living in these countries and the new massive influx of immigrants, The laxism of the various dmocratic autorities and their medias do not help the situation.
    The follosing points, of which some were mentioned int he inteview, may be of interest :
    1 – Millions of immigrants were welcomed by the USA and other democratic countires, during the last two centuries of different nationalities, religions and/or beliefs – the numbers of Islamic immigrants then were insignificant – assimilated and integrated, within one or two generations, peacefully, without the financail allowances which exist today
    2 – Islam is not only a religion but a complete way of life, religiously, politically, socially and making the moslem part of the UMMA – the world moslem population – which makes it incompatible to democracy and freedom of speech
    3 – Some Moslem Presidents, such as the Algerian Houari Boumedienne and the Libyan Moammar Gaddafi declared years ago that the the Moslems would not fight to conquer Europe but will do it by the wombs of their women
    4 – Many Imams in England (one on BBC’s Hard Talk). France and Belgium declared publicly that the final aim of the moslems is to Islamize the world.
    I shall certainly be called a nazi, racist and islamophobe.

    That was a wonderful interview. Dr. Saad appears to be a warm and caring individual who completely put Robert at ease, leading him to be at his very best. The discussion was very worthwhile as I recalled my own battles with liberals and Islam apologists, and as well my own personal struggle to comprehend what is Islam.

    I recalled how it wasn’t so long ago that I knew very little about Islam, and I may have even defended it if asked to out of my ignorance and desire to be liberal minded. Then I was exposed to criticism and hatred of Islam in the comments following that seminal article in the Atlantic, “What does ISIS want”. I had never seen these kinds of attacks and criticisms before and immediately went about researching the subject as I could hardly believe what I was reading.

    Suddenly this pursuit almost became an obsession with me, perhaps because I didn’t want to end up on the wrong side of truth. I guess it was that what I was reading in the comments on different forums was so shocking because that they condemned an ancient, well established religion practised by well over a billion people. It all seemed so bigoted to me, and I am not that kind of person to engage in bigoted thoughts or speech. Yet at the same time, the more I researched, the more negativity I uncovered. Bit by bit I was being led by my research closer and closer to these shocking positions that had so disturbed me initially.

    As time passed, I discovered all the what I would call now, great heros of Truth, Pamela Geller, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Glazov Gang, and of course, Robert Spencer and many more. I remember when I started reading this site. At first, it seemed wrong, like I didn’t think a nice person should be on this site. I felt like maybe I should wash my hands after reading all these Islamophobic articles.

    Fortunately, that phase didn’t last long. I didn’t depend on Jihad Watch or any other site for my point of view, but rather, continued conducting very broad research, including readying hours of Wikipedia articles and following links from there to scholarly material. Especially, I found what was said by ex-Muslims the most compelling of all.

    In the end, all my research converged on the point of view I hold now, which is a point of view that found absolutely nothing to disagree with in this video. Rather, I was nodding my head in agreement all the way through. It has been an interesting journey.

    Why should we always be the one defending ourselves that we are not bigots
    Why can’t we accuse them that they are bigots and that the Qu’ran is full of hate.
    I’m an African German I can’t believe that
    Mein kampf is considered an hate book and the Qu’ran isn’t when all the devout moslems who engage in terror point to the
    Qu’ran as their source of inspiration. Moslems are the most racist people I have ever known even their women are forbidden to marry a non moslem.

    Makes some excellent points when it comes to where the real bigotry is ..
