Here is what Ayaan Hirsi Ali has to say about my forthcoming book, Confessions of an Islamophobe (coming December 5 from Bombardier Books; pre-order here now):
“No one has upset the Islamophobia cabal more than Robert Spencer. First, he knows more about Islamic doctrine than they do. Next, he has outed all the tricks they use in their taqiyyah bag to disinform the public. Finally and most importantly, Robert will not be cowed. Please read this important book and make sure you share it with as many people as possible.” — Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I’ve denied being an Islamophobe for years, while the charge has been relentlessly thrown at me. In Confessions of an Islamophobe, I explain this dichotomy: Leftists and Islamic supremacists for years have conflated under the term “Islamophobia” two quite distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified or justifiable, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of the jihad threat. I reject the former, but if the latter is “Islamophobic,” then call me an Islamophobe. If it’s “Islamophobic” to note that the texts and teachings of Islam contain numerous exhortations to warfare against unbelievers, and that those exhortations are codified in Islamic law, and that women, gays, Jews, Christians, secular liberals and secular Muslims are threatened by those acting upon those teachings, then every sane human being should be an “Islamophobe.”
In Confessions of an Islamophobe, I explain why, with evidence that even the most hardened Antifa member would have difficulty dismissing (unless, of course, that Antifa member was completely irrational, which is likely to be the case).

What a wonderful endorsement, Robert! I’m a big fan of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Her books, along with JW, have truly shaped and honed my mind.
Congratulations on the new book!

I’m also a great fan of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, she’s a very courageous woman and defends our freedom. What a wonderful recommendation of your new book dear Robert.
As usual it’s a must-read. Islam-critics are always labelled Islamophobes so let it be. I don’t care about the term anymore, the guy who invented the term – Ayatollah Khomeini was a great moron and a scumbag who allowed his followers to f**k goats and sheep. What do you expect? Anyway our opponents who call Islamophobia racism are all morons
eduardo odraude says
The terms seems to have long predated Khomeini. I believe it goes back to the late nineteenth century or the first years of the twentieth. What is new about the term is how much it has come into popular usage in recent years.

So glad there are people around who speak the truth.
Cornelius says
Looking forward to the new book Robert. Will certainly buy a couple of extra copies for Xmas gifts.

Cornelius, so good to see you posting again!
Wellington says
A great tribute by a great person to another great person.
Sam says
Thanks Robert again.
It is still very strange to me why it is so difficult in this century to speak the truth. I have never thought that America would be in this situation where truth tellers are attacked viciously by Muslims and their helpers, CLUELESS LIBERALS.
eduardo odraude says
Take a look at the Spencer’s outstanding new movie, if you haven’t seen it already. All about speaking the truth and the attempts at censorship:

There are many good reason to be an Islamophobe.
Vic says
Congratulations, Mr. Spencer! And what wonderful words of support from Ms. Hirsi. You are both shining stars in these dark days.
Thank you for your indefatigable perseverance! Shine on!
eduardo odraude says
Love that Hirsi Ali.

“Cowed” is the correct word to describe all those who have shrunk from recognizing and denouncing the evil ideology of Islam that is plainly laid out in the Koran and preached by so many Muslim leaders.
So cowed that they cannot even bring themselves to name those who are raping and murdering their fellow citizens.
People like Robert, Hirsi Ali, Brigette Gabriel, Pat Condell and Mark Steyn are among the few brave voices that dare resist the tide of lies and nonsense that has been promulgated by our political leadership and the Corporate media.
Mickey says
“…will not be cowed.” Thank you, Robert.
Lydia says
ditto!!!
Someone with a backbone and a brain at the top of the pole!
Thank you Robert!
Green infidel says
Coming from an ex-Muslim, that’s a VERY significant statement…
John Forbes says
Great Woman is AYAAN HIRSI ALI , HOWEVER it seems few WESTERN SO CALLED LEADERS have the GUTS to listen,or act !
Even with another bombing in LONDON TERESA ( the FOREVER UNREADY ) cannot site the ISLAMIC hate teachings as the cause or close a SINGLE MOSQUE for hate speeches or lock up a Hate TEACHING IMAM !
Her solution is SHUT DOWN the INTERNET as dictated by the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD & this who accept the RIDICULOUS TERM ISLAMOPHOBIA !
The WEST IS DETERMINED to ignore the repeated warnings & it looks as though a GREAT many more will die before a single thing is done !
LIKE the MUSLIM MEN raping white, hindu & sikh children in the UK where no one takes responsibility & this is STILL going on & getting BIGGER & TERESA does NOT a THING ! CORBYN sacks the woman who stated that in Rotherham it is PAKISTANI MEN doing this ! SO CORBYN sides with CHILD RAPISTS !!
GUTLESS COWARDS –the LOT !!!
Lydia says
It is a true test of character to see who will stand for what is right and true in the face of opposition. And this is when the cream rises to the top. We shine out for this and at the same time are on their hate group hit list. It just shows that we are on the right path and again, that is how the script goes…
As Esther said…”for such a time as this.” (in the Bible)

“… If it’s ‘Islamophobic’ to note that the texts and teachings of Islam contain numerous exhortations to warfare against unbelievers, and that those exhortations are codified in Islamic law, and that women, gays, Jews, Christians, secular liberals and secular Muslims are threatened by those acting upon those teachings, then every sane human being should be an ‘Islamophobe.’…”
Who could argue with that? All those who have no intention or motivation to examine the issues in any detail but who are content instead to parrot the well worn lines of their opinion leaders.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Will be anticipating the release. As another poster said, it will probably be a nice gift for some friends and family. With an extra on standby to stuff in anyone’s hand who takes exception at something they hear said in conversation.
Georg says
They can’t hold a candle to Robert’s argumentation on the subject so very simply must preclude any argumentation by shutting him down; it’s the M.O. of totalitarianism.
Jayell says
When Mr. Spencer speaks of ‘innocent muslims’, I presume he must mean those who have NOT YET been convicted of any islam-related crime or criminal atrocity. It seems to be the only logical definition when we are talking about followers of an ideology founded by a palpable criminal and which clearly prescribes criminal behaviour.
John S. Obeda says
The book has been ordered. . . . Congratulations. . .. Mr. Spencer, may the Lord keep you healthy and strong, a clear, sharp mind so that you too, as Jesus Himself, knew what to say and how to say it. In such a manner God bless all of us so that the truth gets out. And, then, if necessary, God help us to endure the consequences in our witness of the truth concerning Islam and, of course, also concerning Christianity were we to speak about it as God would like us to do.

Hear, hear! From one hero to another.
gil gillespie says
It’s true.
There is no-one more about islam than Robert Spencer. Nor anyone who destroys this most pathological of belief systems apart as clinically or with as much understated wit.
Every politician from every civilized nation on Earth should be consulting him on a regular basis and it is a shocking barometer of how insane the west has become that he is banned from visiting the UK.
