“Robert Spencer is one of the most informed scholars on the nature of Islam and the jihadist threat. He is also one of the bravest. Confessions of an Islamophobe is an indispensable guide to how American leftists from Linda Sarsour to Bernie Sanders have joined forces with the Islamic enemies of women, gays, Jews, Christians, and other infidels, in an unholy alliance against America and its freedoms.” — David Horowitz, bestselling author and founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center
In my forthcoming book Confessions of an Islamophobe, I consider the question: is there really a threat to the free world from jihad terror and Sharia oppression, or is such concern all just paranoid fear-mongering, xenophobia, racism, bigotry, paranoia, profiteering — as Linda Sarsour and Bernie Sanders would have it, a manifestation of “Islamophobia”?
Are they right, or am I? You be the judge: in Confessions of an Islamophobe, I discuss the real threat women, gays, Jews, Christians, secular liberals and secular Muslims face, and reveal what happens to those ordinary citizens who dare to tell the truth about that threat.
Pre-order Confessions of an Islamophobe here.

Western Leftards like Bernie Sanders who offer a stage to ANTI-WESTERN JIHADISTS are fifth columnists who are opening the gates for armies Islamic supremacists to walk into positions of power and influence so them subjugate the West without a bloody fight.
The attacks on freedom of expression are not even understood by the Left, because they have closed their eyes and ears to the understanding the inherent supremacism and misogyny of Islam.
Half of Islam’s supremacism is Islamic misogyny…the supremacism against women found in authentic Islamic teachings.

I just finished watching “Caravan Hunters”, a Russian TV series about the Soviet Afghan invasion. It reminded me how the course of the war turned in favor of the mujahideen after the US supplied them with Stinger shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. Despite this help, we were rewarded with 911, orchestrated by those very same Afghan mujahideen.
I found the West’s reaction puzzling: Instead of pointing out what an ingrate bin Laden was, many people asked “Why do they hate us?”, and then list the reasons: support for Israel, sanctions on Iraq and the American military presence in Saudi Arabia. The saner, more self-confident question should have been “Why do they hate us after all of our help?” The answer is that we are infidels, and infidels are always to be hated and are not to engage in uppity behavior, as in Israel, Iraq or Saudi Arabia.
The real problem today is not Islamophobia, but Muslim Infidelophobia.

I think a deeper question is why do Americans still have this strong distrust of the Russians? The Soviet Union is long gone. The Mohammadins will always hate the West because it’s part of their belief system; a belief system that will never go away. And yet you compare it to the Russians. Even during the soviet years many Russians were big fans of Americana and American culture.
I guess old habits and thought patterns die hard.

Russia is a strategic partner of Iran and has not respected international borders. The Russians are only against the jihad when it’s against them. As with the Muslims, the Russians are making trouble for us, but for different reasons, namely, national pride, not religious ideology.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Ask yourself who put the Shah of Iran on the throne. Ask yourself who allowed the Iranian revolution to go forward. And then ask yourself which country did your former President Obama sign a deal with.
As far as not respecting borders … wow, you’re not paying attention to the actions of your own country, are you? I recall the US launching missiles at a Syrian air base. And before that there was something called ‘desert storm,’ etc, etc.
And if your talking about Russia invading the Ukraine then you can cure that misapprehension by watching Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire and then by watching this little homegrown doc:

In all honesty, I think your comments smack of ‘the pot calling the kettle black.’

Maybe you need to address fact of WHO are the ones who hate and continually want to attack Russia, the very same ones behind taking over Ukraine to loot it of it’s resources. The very same ones who despite whining that islamists want to push Israel into the sea demand mass migration of muslims into Europe & US. The very same ones who demanded US subsidize a walk around Israel, but shrilly decry a wall on US southern border. The ones who scream US must abandon it’s sovereignty & let illegals pour over our southern border but scream antisemitism if you ask why they are silent about Israel subjecting African immigrants to forced sterilization. They are the ones who imposed communism/socialism on Russia, Eastern Europe and resent fact their ancestors got kicked out when Stalin realized the masses were enraged and going to overthrow him if he didn’t make a show of purging bolsheviks.

According to some Palestinian ex-muslims in ancient Arabic from Indo-Arabian descendant from shem, the root of the words that make up SARSOUR means COCKROACH.

Wading through the Noble Koran, one quickly loses count of the instances Allah instigates distrust and incites hatred towards all non Muslims. Why, he even goes out of his way inculcating loathing not only for Mushriks and Kuffar but for every Muslim apostate, hypocrite and laggard as well. Not once, not twice but thrice this interminable tome commands Muslims to “strike terror into the hearts of the unbelievers”. The fear mongering is incessant. This distrust, hatred and contempt is to be intense and irrevocable.
You’d be forgiven concluding the very intent of Allah’s al Kitaab the Glorious Koran is to inculcate the most intense fear of himself, Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon Him. And this is all before moving onto the fearsome inspiration imbued throughout those immense volumes of supplementary materials and associated behaviours such as the Hadith, Sira, Sunna and Sharia, Fiqh and Fatwas, the Maqasid, mosques, madrasahs, the call to prayer and all the rest.
Allah is the culprit, the evil architect, the real mastermind behind all Islamophobia. Arrest Allah.
