Yesterday I appeared on the Andrew Klavan Show on the Daily Wire to discuss how President Trump has fared in facing the jihad threat during his first 100 days in office. This video is of the entire show; I am on from 20:09 to 31:39.

Nice interview. Andrew Klaven (we see his terrific videos on Frontpagemag, Daily Wire and other websites) is a first rate entertainer, commentator; he is smart. Wikipedia says, “Klavan was raised Jewish, but became an agnostic after his Bar mitzvah. He later converted to Christianity.” I wonder what Mr. KIaven found in Judaism or in the Jewish Bible that caused him to become agnostic and convert to Christianity.
mortimer says
Klavan came to really enjoy the Christmas season.

Kay says
The first apostles were Jewish also.
A Christian reading of the Old Testament points to Jesus coming.
Laura says
What is it that Christians find in Islam that causes them to convert?
roger eric woodhouse says
People born into a ‘christian’ family does not necessary make them ‘ Christian’ .Islam preys on those ‘lost ‘ souls who have no ‘religion’ at all or are considered outside the normal ‘society ‘ that we would recognise ie criminals or those who consider themselves ‘victims’ of society ‘ and who carry a grudge of sorts . Usually people of low intellect who are easily manipulated to become foot soldiers of this evil cult.

” Andrew Klaven (we see his terrific videos on Frontpagemag, Daily Wire and other websites) is a first rate entertainer, commentator; he is smart.”
And most importantly, he is ….. hysterically funny!
Yes, this is a great interview. I always enjoy Robert Spencer interviews and speeches, as he is equally entertaining, and compelling. Combined with Andrew Klaven is a rare pleasure. But, can you imagine if David Wood had also been in this interview? Oh my gosh, I hope that happens some day…..

That would be fantastic! David knows Islam inside and out, but he’s also hilarious! They could be the Counter-Jihad Comedy Team!
nacazo says
klavan wrote a book about his experience. His family was nominal jewish but not really believers. Andrew is committed to the truth and after some spiritusl crisis found the answers in christianity.
epistemology says
Robert is superb as ever, muzzies want to destroy any society that isn’t Islamic and we’ve got to fight against their terror. Counter jihadis all over the world please unite. Unity is strength!
Laura says
Our British elites state that ‘diversity’ is our strength!
Jeanette says
They learned Taqiyya from the Muslims: Lie to keep the masses quiet until they can be eliminated.
The elites are using Muslims to begin the U.N. Agenda 2030 depopulation plan.
TruthandJustice says
But how do we unify? Islam is one house, we have none….
Jeanette says
The first thing we should do is start talking, regardless of whether it is PC or not.
One thing that makes us appear disunited is that many of us don’t verbally stand up for each other, while the elites and liberals constantly yammer about how wonderful Muslims.
Demsci says
I see it as Islam versus Democracy. And Islamists versus, to coin a new name; Democratists.
Who are in favor of the full democratic system in the vast majority of countries in future.
Islam is in so many ways un-democratic, anti-democratic.
the fact of the matter seems to me to be that it is Democratists, of many religions, ideologies or lack thereof, who are anti-Islam, as the Enlightenment that I suppose triggered a great democratization in the 18th, 19th, 20th and even 21st centuries, came of course later than Islam and was un-Islamic, anti-Islamic of necessity.
It seems like an open door to be in favor of Democracy, but what counterjihadists object to in Islam is for a very big part it’s anti-democratic tenets; like deathpenalty for apostasy, Allah’s law trumping manmade law when the 2 contradict, unequal treatment for the law for men versus women and believers versus unbelievers, prohibition of criticism on Muhammad and more.
Islam also seems to inspire hundreds of millions of Muslims to heavily favor 1 of all religions, ideologies, itself, at the expense of all the others. Where Islam rules, there is this massive propaganda for Itself and massive censorship of it’s competitors in religion/ ideology. This just isn’t fair, there should be an equal playing field for all religions/ ideologies.
If anything Islam should be singled out for special control, because, like communism and fascism, it clearly aims for a dictatorial society. Sometimes I wonder why sane democratic minded people, who should understand Islam by now, still give it so much freedom of religion and total equal rights without even mild conditions.
but if the democratic system is rigourously well formulated, taught, defended by and strived for, as a higher purpose, by ever more Democracy-aware people, esp. Youngsters, then Islam on it’s own merits, will surely lose a lot of followers eventually IMO.
Mo says
Two of my favorite people!
mortimer says
Klavan said, ‘Robert Spencer is one of the foremost experts on jihad…’ This is accurate. No mullah or Islamic professor is able to debate Robert Spencer successfully on the topic of jihad.
They know in advance that they will be beaten like a drum.
Robert Spencer’s new book about the enemies of FREE SPEECH will bust the issue of ISLAMO-PANDERING right open.
Once exposed the Leftist enablers of jihad will have no place to hide.
underbed cat says
Robert is always very good. I just have to part ways in the thought that to me, Islam, with it ‘s inherent goal of establishing a caliphate world wide defines Islam as a religion as that is the replacing of our legal system with sharia, I see not solution other than to redefine it as a political party…and prefer it would not be allowed entry and establishment in our country with the ultimate goal of subvert as they are skillful actors seeding all area’s of America’s land with mosques and deceptive outreach…a grand marketing plan to be seen as peaceful loaded with cash to undermine. In my opinion.
Anne Smith says
True and they are being financially underwritten by Saudi Arabia
mortimer says
Robert Spencer makes a superb observation: The US constitution grants freedom of religion in order to defend the constitution and NOT so that religion may DESTROY the constitution. Islam is a SUPREMACIST polity that declares itself to be a ‘DEEN’ (governance). As a governmental system, Islam is in COMPETITION with the US constitution. Any mullah who preaches ISLAMIC GOVERNANCE is actually preaching sedition and should be prosecuted for promoting the overthrow of the US constitution.
Demsci says
YES! Quite so. When the Constitution and Allah’s laws contradict, it is Allah’s law that overrules the “man-made” constitution.
And if Islam-apologists deny this, fine. Then there is the evidence that hundreds of millions other Muslims still practice this.
But the Islam apologists may still find refuge by declaring that they reject weak Hadiths, and all Tafsirs and all Islamic Scholars and say that they are not bound by them. If not (wholly or in part) explained, made clear by weak Hadiths, Tafsirs and Islamic Scholars, Islam is very unclear, vague, and multi-interpretable, as in that situation Muslims are free to cherry pick and declare “description instead of prescription due to change of time, MECCAN verses being still valid, and preferred over MEDINAN verses etc. This is something our own Islam-experts are very aware of; was it Gerd Puin that said that 20 % of the Quran really is glibberish?
And that should lead to the conclusion that either the Islam-apologists are lying, or that Islam’s core texts are confusing to an extent that it makes it very irresponsible to be a Muslim, without any conditions of loyalty, control, in a Democratic Nation.
And that should lead to the same treatment of Muslims as that of Communists and Nazi’s in Democratic Nations. And certainly to Democratic selection criteria and Democratic conditions in case of Muslims wanting to immigrate into Democratic Nations.
Demsci says
Mind you, I fully believe Islam apologists either lie or are very ignorant about their own religion.
The point is; how do we get enough people prepared to do at least something that will inevitably be interpreted as “painting all Muslims with the same brush”/ discrimination on grounds of religion, and limitations of the freedom of religion for Muslims (which again will be presented as discrimination).
So the “Islam is irresponibly unclear”meme is only for consumption of all those who now maintain, explicitly or implicitly that “Islam in essence is good and harmless and that ISIS and such radicales are perverting Islam” and that it is totally unacceptable to “paint all Muslims with one brush”, which they will always oppose.
If you will, it is my (our?) own taqqiyah.
Saleem Smith says
Muhammad the prophet of Islam is considered by the majority of Muslims to be the model man for human conduct.
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”

Kay says
What makes them think he was good?
carol says
Probably because he threw out a few judicious crumbs here and there.
carol says

Jeanette says
They WANT him to be good, because that makes it accepted for them to do what they want to do – kidnap, enslave, rape, torture, abuse, maim and murder.
So, like many people, they believe what they want to believe, and most of them will never be convinced of anything else.
nacazo says
Muslims think Mohamed was good because the qur’an (which Mohamed himself dictated) says Mohamed is the perfect example of conduct to be emulated.

Michael Copeland says
“No stronger retrograde force exists in the world” –

Irene Brekelmans says
Do muslims have any idea who was the “model man” for HUMAN CONDUCT and what it is to behave
within A HUMAN conduct. What means the word HUMAN to you? AND I AGREE THAT MUSLIMS ARE THE MOST SKILFUL ACTORS IN THE WORLD! They do not talk about development etc., because they only conquer countries where they can step into a ready spread bed, countries where everything is already established.
Jeanette says
Muslims know what they want to know, just as the liberals do.
Andrea says
I disagree with Robert. The Laws are made for men and not viceversa and Constitutions are not God made, our generation have the right to amend any Constitution if the circumstances have changed, in 1776 there were not Islam problem in USA…so, just deporte muslims and ban Islam, we cannot keep in our lands a criminal religious cult hoping that they don’t turn too much devote just because the Constitution says we have religious freedom.
carol says
i tend to agree Andrea. Why allow poison into our bloodstream? Does Islam infest too many corners of the world for anyone to presently dare to attempt to eradicate this inhumane “pretender”? Is that the real truth? Eradication should be the eventual goal. Keep it in libraries for the sake of free speech and as an example of stupid barbarities from the past – but don’t allow it to be roam the world virtually unharnessed.
Andrea says
I totally agree with you Carol.
Jeanette says
Actually, if we could get Islam designated as a dangerous cult, we could probably deport Muslims without changing the Constitution.
Islam is protected now because we have foolishly allowed to let it remain classified as a religion.
Andrea says
You right I guess, to outlaw Charles Manson and David Koresh cults nobody changed the Constitution.
Bill W. says
When your mind is filled with envy hate and violence Islam major forces in its spirt, prayers , and books, you do not have time or energy to do anything else.
Demsci says
Yes, quite so. Yuval Harari, eminent Israeli historian, with 2 bestsellers; Sapiens + Homo Deus, writes in the latter that Islam has few, if any, novel, nobel, exciting thoughts about the future. On principle Islam says the high point of human development is already behind us, because it was the begin-time of Islam! Muslims are basically taught to only look forward to Judgement day! And in the meantime it is sort of necessary for them to conquer the world for Islam, if given half a chance.
The Muslims are like people who wait by the telephone that never rings.
St. Manuel II Palaiologos says
Andrew Klavan is so boring. I now know why I don’t watch his show. Ben Shapiro is so much better.

Trump has failed , He has done Nothing .
