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

Robert Spencer video: What is Sharia?

May 30, 2017 8:57 pm By Robert Spencer

What is Sharia? That depends on whom you ask. In this video, I explain the role of Sharia in orthodox Islam.

Video thanks to David Wood.

    I hate to tell you this Robert but in this video your collar is sticking out. I tried to watch the video and ignore the collar, but it just drove me crazy and I couldn’t pay attention to what you were saying. Take two. lol

        Didn’t notice the bent collar, but did see the book Madame President (Hillary) in background with a baseball figure…..go figure….te he.

        So maybe the message was Hillary was/is not aware of sharia….a ingenious brutal doctrine of control and conquest which is Islamic law….? Anyway good video. She should know it was not the” Russians” but intelligent deplorable who read about sharia, the informed voter, which elected Donald Trump, the informed, not the uneducated as most were described. On second thought, I don’t doubt that even Putin knows the doctrine….since he wrote a letter to the NYT’s about cooperating on terrorism, that was not peaceful.

      Always enjoy seeing and hearing Robert. This is also great content, but wish Robert would tidy up the collar and eliminate the Hillary joke on the back. Why? So when I forward this to others (particularly those that do not undersand Islam and their brains will resist the message) they do not get stuck on those distractions. Maybe Robert will re-do this great resource of a video. My most sincere appreciation for the work Robert is doing.

          Re Flavius

          He is stupid. I was not arguing with him. I was insulting him. Did you not read his stupid comment? Robert Spencer delivers a brilliant talk on Sharia and that stupid punk’s response was to try to undermine the message by pointing out that Robert’s collar was sticking out. Typical liberal. I did not notice Robert’s collar. I was paying attention to his scholarship.

          Jun 1, 2017 at 2:10 am

          My mistake. I should have capitalized the “lol” in my comment so that it could be seen clearly by all. Some people need humour to be spelled out to them. And even then …
          I suppose there are some who when they viewed a Robert Spencer talk, truly believed that he does have a relative who thinks he is a moth. And those same people who when they viewed a David Wood video on Mohammad’s cross dressing believed that David Wood truly does like to put on his wife’s dresses.
          As for the Hillary book on the shelf, I personally think it’s a David Wood touch. I luv em both!!!
          (No wait!! I don’t love Hillary, but I love Robert and David. Close call — I almost got even more nasty replies…)

    Well, I know what book will be my reading circle’s next choice. We generally go through a cycle, from essays, to historical references (including historical novels), some poetry, and so forth.

    Extreme fiction was coming up, so “Madame President” will provide us with a lot of giggles for discussion.

      Diane, what you see on the shelf is probably a print of the infamous Newsweek magazine. If you want to buy an authentic copy it might cost you thousands of dollars. There’s one on eBay that is being touted as “1 of 17 originals” going for $25,000. So, Robert, if that’s real you need to insure it. You can read about it here:

    Robert Spencer referred to the Hadis.Here is a great book for Infidels.

    http://voiceofdharma.org/books/uith/

    Understanding Islam through Hadis

    Religious Faith or Fanaticism? by Ram Swarup

    Exposition Press Smithtown, New York

    Islam is not merely a theology or a statement about Allah and his relationship with His creatures.

    Besides containing doctrinal and creedal material, it deals with social, penal, commercial, ritualistic, and ceremonial matters. It enters into everything, even into such private areas as ones dress, marrying, and mating.

    In the language of the Muslim theologians, Islam is a complete and completed religion.

    It is equally political and military. It has much to do with statecraft, and it has a very specific view of the world peopled by infidels.

    Since most of the world is still infidel, it is very important for those who are not Muslims to understand Islam.

  8. sidney penny says

    May 31, 2017 at 12:03 am

    continue from above:

    The sources of Islam are two: the QurAn and the HadIs (Sayings or Traditions), usually called the Sunnah (customs), both having their center in Muhammad. The QurAn contains the Prophets revelations (wahy); the HadIs, all that he did or said, or enjoined, forbade or did not forbid, approved or disapproved.

    The word HadIs, singular in form (pl. ahAdIs), is also used collectively for all the traditions taken together, for the whole sacred tradition.

    Muslim theologians make no distinction between the QurAn and the HadIs. To them both are works of revelation or inspiration.

    ……………………..

    Concise and to the point.

    One tiny quibble–not everyone who claims Shari’ah is benign is being dishonest–some take it one some sort or faith that it *must* be benign, and cannot bear to think otherwise.

    Not all of these people wish us ill–but they are all in willful denial, and are dangerous–whether this is their intent or not.

    mr spencer,your definition of sharia is absolutely wrong and mischievous.sharia has been defined in the Quran to mean the same thing as islam,which is complete way of life for anyone who believe in Islam as a religion
    .it means it only concern muslim believers.it
    follows ,therefore, that denial of right for a Muslim to practice sharia is equal to denying him his right to practice his religion.As such,Mr Spencer, you are saying muslims have no right to practice their religion in the united states simply because you and other non_ Muslims do not believe in Islam.the muslims in the united states do not believe in the teachings of christianity.Do they have the right to deny Christians their right to practice christianity as it is?All the charges you are framing against sharia are not true as we see it.you cannot impose your own value judgement on muslims.if you feel that sharia or islam is bad,muslims do not see it that way
    .you cannot convince a muslim that christianity is better than islam.then what is the solution? let every citizen of the united states practice his religion as it is as guranteed by the constitution of the united states.

      In civilized countries, Ibrahim, we have laws which protect people from harm by others, i.e. female mutilation. We also have laws preventing murder. Both of these crimes are allowed under Sharia and it appears you are advocating that people who are now living as humane civilized people should take up barbaric customs i.e. Sharia. It will never happen and you would do well to rethink your ridiculous belief.

        May 31, 2017 at 5:22 pm

        carolyne,what you said against sharia is your own subjective value judgement.Muslims do not perceive it that way. if you say Muslims cannot practice their religion the way it is,you are denying them freedom of religion guaranteed under the American constitution.may be you have little knowledge about American legal system based on democratic principles that the law recognises diversity of cultures.That is you cannot dictate to a community this is what you must believe or disbelieve.that will tantamount to totalitarianism prohibited by American constitution.As such Muslims have the right to have sharia applied to them as part of freedom of religion,which no one can denyveven if he dislikes it.carolyne,remember your Christianity is savage and barbarous worshing human being as god;yet muslims have no right to say you cannot hold that belief system even though it is blasphemous according to islam for saying God became a man,which is an insult.

          ……………………….

          Well, this is true–pious Muslims believe that they have the right to mutilate little girls, “marry” them, and slaughter Infidels. What barbarians.

          ……………………….

          Note what muhammed is *really* saying here: that if we don’t allow Muslims to oppress, rape, and murder us then we are impinging on their freedom of religion.

          What crap. The American Constitution is not a suicide pact.

          More:

          That is you cannot dictate to a community this is what you must believe or disbelieve.that (sic) will tantamount to totalitarianism prohibited by American constitution.
          ……………………….

          No one cares what Mohammedans believe–as long as they do not try to put their savagery into practice. Is anyone surprised that muhammed cannot grasp this distinction?

          More:

          As such Muslims have the right to have sharia applied to them as part of freedom of religion,which no one can denyveven (sic) if he dislikes it.
          ……………………….

          Mutilating little girls, marrying children, and keeping sex lsaves is *illegal* in the civilized world. Pretending that it is not is ludicrous.

          More:

          carolyne,remember (sic) your Christianity is savage and barbarous worshing (sic) human being as god;yet muslims (sic) have no right to say you cannot hold that belief system even though it is blasphemous according to islam (sic) for saying God became a man,which (sic) is an insult.
          ……………………….

          Where to start? Firstly, this is a ridiculous misunderstanding of Christianity–but then, Muslims never were very bright.

          Then, I don’t believe that Carolyne has ever identified as Christian–but that does not matter to muhammed, who regards everyone in the West as a “crusader”.

          Then, he is lamenting that he is unable to crush Christianity in the West, and is implying that allowing Christians to worship freely is no different from allowing Muslims to rape and murder in the name of their foul deity. *Ugh*.

      Well this is rich, isn’t it? Why do you as a Muslim expect to be treated with exclusivity and accommodated everywhere in the west that you go to settle and breed copiously, yet in your own Islamic hellholes your despicable mullahs and imams persecute and berate all religious minorities in accordance with your religious scriptures?

      ………………………………

      Actually, Robert Spencer has always noted that Shari’ah is a core part of islam–the purpose of violent Jihad, in fact, is to impose Islamic law and the submission of everyone to Islam.

      In other words, ibrahim itace muhammed believes that he is not being allowed to practice Islam if he cannot slaughter Infidels and stone rape victims to death in the streets. This is how *all* pious Muslims think. *Ugh*.

      More:

      the (sic) muslims (sic) in the united (sic) states (sic) do not believe in the teachings of christianity.Do (sic) they have the right to deny Christians their right to practice christianity (sic) as it is?
      ………………………………

      Well, *this* is rich. Christians are not allowed to peacefully practice their faith in most of Dar-al-Islam, and they are currently being threatened with genocide throughout the entire Middle East save for Israel. And it is not just Christianity–Muslims oppress *all* Infidels when they get the chance.

      More:

      All the charges you are framing against sharia are not true as we see it.you (sic) cannot impose your own value judgement on muslims.if (sic) you feel that sharia or islam (sic) is bad,muslims (sic) do not see it that way (sic)
      .
      ………………………………

      In other words, if you find Muslims “marrying” small children, throwing gay people off tall buildings, or stoning rape victims to death abhorrent, you are not allowed to say so. After all, this is the case under Shari’ah.

      More:

      you (sic) cannot convince a muslim (sic) that christianity (sic) is better than islam.then (sic) what is the solution? let (sic) every citizen of the united (sic) states (sic) practice his religion as it is as guranteed (sic) by the constitution of the united (sic) states (sic).
      ………………………………

      Freedom to pray, fast, and go on pilgrimages is not enough for Muslims–they demand that if they are to have freedom of worship they this include oppressing Infidels, imposing Shari’ah law on us, and murdering anyone who disagrees with them.

      But the American Constitution is *not* a suicide pact. So sorry to disappoint muhammed and his vicious coreligionists.

    this is why we need to convience all the ignorents of the risk in creeping sharia
    here in israel when i try to educate those around me they are tired of hearing about the bad dids of islam and the risk of creeping sharia .
    unfortunatly most people are fixed in their mind thinking that they are too small in order to make a difference and change the world.
    I’m trying to make them understand that as individuals we are weak but united as many we have all tha power to change the things and save the world from the claws of islam

      There are many religions in the world, Ibrahim, but Islam is not a religion. It is a political philosophy, designed to control every thought, word and deed of mankind. These controls are repugnant and misogynistic and really have no place in today’s world.

      ‘As for filth, I advise you not to stand near a Muslim. The stench is overwhelming. Perhaps you do not notice it on yourself, but others, i.e. Christians and Jews, notice it on you. Don’t forget to wipe your butt with your left hand–no paper, no cloth, just your hand as Mohammed ordered and did. It will explain the stench.

        Carolyne, You write, “Don’t forget to wipe your butt with your left hand–no paper, no cloth, just your hand as Mohammed ordered and did.” Please cite the hadith. My understand is that the proper anus-wiping is done with an odd number of stones, not with one’s bare left hand.

    Better find out what it is that Muslims want to bring to the USA. They already have part of it implemented. When they multiply a bit more, they will be able to put additional parts of it into practice. They are not going to stop. They are not going to adopt American culture and reject their inhuman set of rules.

    Usually I post letters to he editor that are published, but this one I sent to the NY Times probably won’t be. It is an answer to their defensive piece on Linda Sarsour. I reference Sharia critically, which is something I can’t ever recall reading in the Times. I welcome any criticism if I’ve been unfair or inaccurate:
    Dear Editor,
    The article on the objections to the choice of Linda Sarsour as commencement speaker at CUNY (Eli Rosenbeg, May 27) evoked a sympathy for Ms. Sarsour that should have been tempered by an honest analysis of her very unsympathic ideology.
    As an exponent of Sharia Law, Ms. Sarsour would view Israel as being in violation of two major tenets. First, Israel was established on land that had been under Islamic sovereignty for centuries, thereby obligating Muslims to wage war against it In order to reestablish Islamic rule. Second, it is a violation of Sharia for non-Moslems to have authority over Moslems unless Moslem rule is physically impossible. This explains her alliance with jihadist groups that want to destroy Israel.
    Her charitable assistance in helping Jewish groups identify vandals who target Jewish cemeteries is also consistent with Sharia: Making Jews feel more secure in the diaspora will encourage them to leave lsrael, making the anti-Israel jihad easier.
    Despite these beliefs, Linda Sarsour should nevertheless be heard in a manner consistent with respect for the widest range of views in an academic forum, in a country that prides itself on freedom of speech. That does not mean that the malign nature of her ideology should be ignored, or that her adherence to those beliefs qualify her for the honor of commencement speaker.

    Peace be with you; Happy Shavuot, Happy Easter, Happy Pentecost, God bless you…in name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah, amen.

    Method of operation, motive and intent and historical and sociological fact are part of Jurisprudence, Criminal Code and psychology.

    The moderate’s exploit the radicals and lie in the process which is statute and principle of Islam. Islam was an error in it’s beginning and an error in the beginning is an error in principle. The error was in Mecca as well as afterward. Using Christian/Judaeo teaching and principles which had spread to that region, combined with pagan and other cultural norms in that era they plagiarized, subverted and distorted Christian/Judaeo Religion and utilized their’s and other’s contempt for Jews and Christians as well as coercion to prosper their despotic Satanic Cult.

    The collar gives him the busy good professor look.

    That you to Robert Spencer and all at Jihad Watch and their supporters for all your good works.

    I watched a video put posted by a young lady on the Rebel Media site from Canada. She was interviewing people on the street regarding Sharia Law, when a couple of young Muslim men engaged her. They immediately took over the entire discussion. They were making the argument that Sharia is merely a bunch of personal, innocuous religious practices… but these men were sinister and threatening. The young interviewer was clearly intimidated by these men and that was their intent. The young Muslims regarded their position as being the victims of the Christian West… as if, they have suffered so much at our hands that they were on the edge of some righteous acts of violence. Watching this video, I was worried for the young lady interviewer… she could’ve been attacked in the ways Muslims attack women everyday of every week of every year all around the world. I guess, it was because there was only two Muslim thugs against one small lady and one young photographer… the odds weren’t stacked in favor of the true-believers enough.

    Only a handful of Muslim states apply anything like the full Islamic law as portrayed in the Reliance of the Traveller or the other similar manuals. I cannot discover exactly why this is. Can anyone help me with the following questions?

    1. Did the legal codes of Muslim states entirely reflect Islamic law before European colonisation or was there some space between the Islamic law of the various schools of jurisprudence and state legal codes?

    2. Muslims have told me that legal codes have changed because circumstances have changed and Islamic law has some flexibility in it because it is admitted to be only the interpretation by men of Allah’s law. But I suspect that the only real change was the partial imposition of British or French law. Why did the majority of Muslim states retain much of the European law in their legal codes after independence? It appears to be an obvious departure from what Allah expects, or at least what Allah’s best scholars agreed he expects.

    Thanks.

      ibrahim, you’re a troll. I know that by the way you spelled your name. You’re here to bait people. No real discussion or debate; jihad of the word. Post away – I’ll ignore you.
