A war with no end. My latest at FrontPage:
Imagine if World War II had been fought the way the defense against the global jihad has been.
Imagine it is December 7, 1957, the 16th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, and President Adlai E. Stevenson gives what was then something new: a nationally televised address. He looks determinedly into the cameras and says:
My fellow Americans: We remember, and we will never forget, the 2,403 beautiful lives taken from us so cruelly. We come together in prayer and in gratitude for the strength that has fortified us across these 16 years.
Perhaps most of all, we stay true to the spirit of this day by defending not only our country, but our ideals. Sixteen years into this fight, and we have not given in to the temptation to demonize and stigmatize entire nations for the deeds of a few extremists. The Germans are not our enemies. The Japanese are not our enemies. We are fighting against the tiny remnant of extremist ideologies that have unfortunately hijacked the noble traditions of the Shinto religion in Japan and National Socialism in Germany. And we will prevail. But we will prevail hand-in-hand with the Japanese and German moderates who have been the first and most numerous victims of these extremists.
That’s why today, after consulting with representatives from the Council on Japanese-American Relations and the Nazi Poverty Law Center, I have issued a proclamation declaring this 16th anniversary of that terrible day a Day of Solidarity Against Germanophobia and Japanophobia. We’ve mourned the loss of innocents on our battlefields in California and Connecticut, but groups like the Shinto and Nazi extremists know that they will never be able to defeat a nation as great and as strong as America. So, instead, they’ve tried to terrorize in the hopes that they can stoke enough fear that we turn on each other and that we change who we are or how we live. And that’s why it is so important today that we reaffirm our character as a nation, by rejecting all hate and fear. If you see a representative of imperial Japan or Nazi Germany today, give him a hug. Show that we are bigger than the hate of the extremists on both sides. For we know that our diversity — our patchwork heritage — is not a weakness; it is still, and always will be, one of our greatest strengths. May God bless the United States of America.
I must apologize to Adlai Stevenson for putting this nonsense into his mouth; Democrats of his day were not quite so spectacularly insane as the current variety (much of the verbiage comes straight from one of Barack Obama’s 9/11 blatherings). But is it really as bad today as I have made it seem with that address? In what way is it not? This war has gone on for a very long time, and today, in all the reminiscences, and eulogies, and encomia, and lamentations, virtually no one has explained why, for the simple reason that essentially no one among the political and media elites knows why. The entire Western intelligentsia, the totality of our political and media elites, steadfastly refuses to acknowledge exactly what the mind-set and motivating ideology of the terrorists really is, and where it comes from.
And so because they have made the wrong diagnosis, they keep applying the wrong remedies. Policies that don’t deal with the actual problem keep being applied and re-applied, at the cost of thousands of American lives, billions of American dollars, and nothing to show for all this expenditure but a sharp and continuing loss of American power and prestige. The jihadis who struck the U.S. on September 11, 2001 have made such immense advances since then not because they are strong, or clever, or capable, but because we are weak, short-sighted, and resolute not in fighting them but in maintaining our denial about who they are and what they want, to the extent that we have taken numerous steps not to stop them, but actually to enable them to achieve their goals.
One key reason why this war drags on, sixteen years after 9/11, was implied in the address of “President Stevenson”: millions passively and unthinkingly accept the dogma that to speak honestly and accurately about the jihadis’ motives and goals is to descend in “racism” and “bigotry,” and to endanger innocent Muslims. And so sixteen years after 9/11, it is still almost unheard-of for there to be an honest discussion of jihadi motives and goals in the mainstream.
Sixteen years after 9/11, and even after the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, the free West is dug in: wholeheartedly committed to denial, willful ignorance, and policies that are self-defeating to the point of suicidal. In light of that, the wonder is not that this war has lasted so long, but that we have held out so long. Unless the political landscape changes considerably and this denial is decisively rejected and discarded, darker, much darker, days are coming.

I got a laugh out loud reaction to “the Council on Japanese American Relations and the Nazi Poverty Law Center.”
On a serious note, I graduated from high school in 1957. Thinking back about those years and comparing them to the past 16 years for me is a startling way to put those two era’s in perspective.
Sons of Liberty says
I agree 100% . A truly great article by Robert Spencer , showing the utter ignorance of our government ! A mocking rebuke to the apologists for Islam and the evil ideology at the CENTER of all the terrorism committed by Muslim jihadists. You would think the HORRIBLE day of September 11th, 2001 would have been a turning point against the IDEOLOGY that CAUSED the events of this DAY OF INFAMY , …but unfortunately it was not. We have learned nothing from that day !
Terry Gain says
I think it was a turning point. It was the day America began to submit to Islam. The submission went into overdrive with the election of Hussein Obama. The submission is continuing even under Trump. Being clueless has its disadvantages.
gravenimage says
9/11 was a turning point for me. It turned a vague unease concerning Islam to an educated understanding of the Jihad threat as I began to educate myself.
There have been others who woke up on that day, as well.
But yes–for all too many, it was just the occasion for doubling down on the willful ignorance.
Always On Watch says
because they have made the wrong diagnosis, they keep applying the wrong remedies
The real 21st Century tragedy.
I’ve done almost all that I can do to wake up the West — I’m aging out. But I’ve spent the last 16 years fighting the good fight. I gave up the best years of my life in defending the West and combating Islamophilia.
God bless you, Mr. Spencer, for helping so many of us to understand the threat of Islam — especially stealth jihad. You are “the godfather of the counter-jihad”!
Terry Gain says
Robert Spencer is America’s Churchill.
Sons of Liberty says
Thank you , Always on Watch for fighting the good fight ! I am doing the same . Thank you to Robert Spencer, David Wood and Pam Geller for risking their lives to TELL THE TRUTH about Islam and to wake up AMERICA,…..before it’s too late. They are FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT and are true blessings to all of us.

Could not agree more with Always On Watch, Terry, and Sons of Liberty.

Muslims worship the devil called allah.
JawsV says
My opinion is that Muhammed and Allah are the same. Think Oz and the man behind the curtain. There are no witnesses to Muhammed’s “revelations” from Gabriel. Whereas there are plenty of witnesses to Christ’s prophesies and miracles. Christ is the real deal. Mo is not a prophet and there is no Allah. Muhammed is Allah.
Terry Gain says
I agree. He made it all up. Couldn’t even think of a different angel to deliver the sordid messages he created.
Westman says
Aisha thought the revelations were a bit convenient and likely supressed one:
“I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and I used to say, “Can a lady give herself (to a man)?” But when Allah revealed: “You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).’ (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 6:60:311)
Imagine, “God” giving a Quranic revelation about Muhammad’s favoring one wife over another..
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.” (Sunan ibn Majah 3:9:1944)
A dog didn’t eat the homewor….oh, wait, what dogs?
Santa Voorhees says
Or better, imagine what would have happened to Europe in the 8th century if it fought Islam the same way as it does today….. yeah, we would have pretty much been overrun in 5 years or less…
JawsV says
“Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought.” — Teddy Roosevelt

Thank you for this remembrance, Mr. Spencer, we are recovering from Hurricane Irma which is not yet over for us – my husband and I have not forgotten 9-11 despite the fact our dangerous and deadly weather conditions.
God Bless America!
rbla says
Absolutely on target! If in the first decades after Pearl Harbor the proverbial man from Mars came down and observed Japanese samurai parades down Sunset Blvd. and Japanese rising sun insignias all over the west coast; and if he observed men speaking German dressed in SS uniforms walking all over NYC with swastika decorations everywhere, he might reasonably conclude that America had lost the war. Well now 16 years after 911 hijabs, headscarves and even burkas have sprouted up all over and the Muslim population along with their mosques have increased at a much larger rate than before 911. The only conclusion to be drawn is that we have lost this war. The occupation is just taking a little longer than similar past occurrences. And in Europe the occupation is proceeding rapidly toward completion. We lose, they win. Get used to it.
Sons of Liberty says
rbla ,…..remember what Churchill said ,…” Never , never , never give up “. In the USA , we will fight them in the trenches , in the hills and in the valleys , as our FOUNDING FATHERS DID AGAINST THE BRITISH ,….WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
But also remember that he was exhorting a united people to maintain optimism against a mortal threat across the channel. The mortal threat Moslems bring encourages incremental surrender, giving up on this or that. A guy with a career will keep silent on Islam in the public square to avert being passed over or even fired. And he’ll surely maintain studied silence if he feels that a member of his family could be killed for speaking the factual truth.
AnneM says
That is why the internet will prove very helpful for getting the truth out.
gravenimage says
But APF, Fascists did have more a foothold in the US and Briton before WWII than many people realize. The heir to the throne in England was a fan of the Nazis, and there were Hitler Youth Camps and meetings of the German-American Bund in Madison Square Garden. Many ordinary Westerners considered Fascism “efficient” and “modern”.
We were not all that united, at first. It took a lot of work from those warning that Fascism as a serious threat.
AnneM says
Big difference. Americans are ARMED to the teeth. The Muslims better mind their p’s and q’s.
Shmooviyet says
What ignorant thirty-somethings we were.
The chill and disbelief of seeing that second plane hit will NOT be forgotten– no matter how hard the fashionable Blame America crowd pushes their ‘tolerance’ while mispronouncing ‘hijab’ as ‘hajib’.
Another Thank You, Mr. Spencer, for this excellent post and for the necessary education you’ve given through your books and JW.
Tom says
So please liberals and other supporters of Islam, explain to us where the mindset that is Islamic terrorism gets its motivation if not from Islam itself.
We must radically change our political and social landscape if we are to ever defeat or even survive the war that is being perpetrated with the help of those wilfully blind idiots within our own culture who support and appease Islam.
Iran has said it now can build nuclear weapons, North Korea, their ally, has shown it can build and deliver nuclear weapons. How long do you think it will be before Islamic terrorist will be able to smuggle one into our cities or even construct one whilst our security services look on?
We know Islamists love to die and will be happy to take a few hundred thousand of us, our children especially, with them. WHEN are we going to wake up?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
16 yrs brings to mind the Tennessee Ernie Ford ballad Sixteen Tons about coal mining, the difference being that coal mining is bringing energy out of the hole, while the defense against the Global Jihad has turned into pushing freedom and security down the hole. At lease we Infidels have scratched our way back up to being able to associate Jihad mass murder of Infidels to Islam, a feat even though it is explicitly commanded in the Holy Ko-Ran and in the Sunnah. And to make matters worse, we fund them. Liberalism will be the end of freedom.
I remember the vibrations among us on the afternoon of Sept 11. Somehow that’s been lost and now we have a tiny minority being imported and put on welfare as fast as politically feasible. George W Bush my royal Irish ass.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
There is a fine essay on the ideological war, or absence of it, over at the American Spectator today:

Mr. Smith says
Great article Mr. Spencer, and thank you for leading the fight!
Fellow Patriots,
Just a few thoughts from a real patriot…today is the day our quisling globalists in Washington call Patriot Day, ostensibly to mark the Anniversary of 9/11 each year…a conspiracy that murdered 2,997 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Day
Isn’t it ironic that the same U.S. government quislings who orchestrated, aided, abetted, and facilitated the Muslim jihadists who attacked us on 9/11 are the same traitors who created Patriot Day!
Despite the massive cover-up of 9/11 at the highest levels of the U.S. and Saudi governments, overwhelming evidence has come to light over the last 16 years that establishes, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the 9/11 attacks were a pretext by our own government to justify and create an enhanced police surveillance state against the American people, starting with the USA Patriot Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act
The 9/11 cover-up continues to this day…as does the symbiotic relationship between the Washington globalists and Islam (Red/Green Axis) against We the People! To learn more, read the link below:

Pathetic…is that all you got in your rants pal?
Assumptions? Lies? Distortions? Suppositions? Conjecture? Lies? I’m not impressed. All you have been able to put on the table is fabricated counter-factual bullshit about how you know how I feel and what I believe just because I asked your opinion on a link to an article…an article that triggered you to run to your safe space? Nothing tangible, nothing of any real substance…just your bullshit opinions.
Let’s take a look at what I initially wrote and linked that triggered this sensitive snowflake so badly:
Mr. Smith says
September 10, 2017 at 11:31 pm
So you are of the opinion, based on all the facts as you understand them, that elements within our own government did not have anything to do with facilitating, aiding, or abetting the Muslim attacks of 9/11? Check out this link below and get back to me!
https://www.worldaffairsbrief.com/keytopics/9-11compilation2005.html
Your ability to create fabricated bullshit out of thin air is truly impressive! About the only things missing from your rants are the truth and the facts! Where is the evidence to support your rants? There isn’t any and you know it. Come on pal, support your arguments and all your chest thumping and grandstanding! I challenge you to cut and paste some facts in support of your rants…come on pal…bring it! Support your claims and accusations about me. We both know that you ain’t got shit pal…just a bunch of hot air blowing in your feeble and failed attempts to impress.
Mr. Smith says
And let me add one last parting comment about you snowflake…we both know that all you are is a hypersensitive bullying ignorant blowhard, a pathological lier who who gets triggered quite easily, and loves to repeatedly “impress” all his kowtowed minions on this website with how much he knows about Islam…you are the arrogant, and condescending big time self-professed “resident expert” of Islam, right? Well, I’ve reviewed your pathetic posts pal and I’m not impressed, not a lot of depth, seem to have trouble understanding the basics. I doubt if you could even pass a pop quiz on Islam 101…but that is your problem. I’ve forgotten more about Islam than claim to know. You didn’t even give a rats ass about the Islamic threat until 9/11 and then you suddenly “got it!” My Islamic studies and real world education and experience goes back over 35 years…probably while you were still in diapers sucking your thumb…some things never change do they pal?
l’m going to bypass the chase, and cut to the kill by making it easy for you to save whatever face you have left in front of your minions, who by the way never backed you up! Your shallow rants are repeating themselves and the level of lies about me is increasing exponentially…you’re trying sooooo hard, but you ain’t got shit. And since we both know you ain’t got shit, we are done here, you are no longer worth my time!

Frank Anderson says
Islam has been at war with infidels for 1400 years. Why expect them to stop? What could make them stop and change their fundamental teachings and goals? What would a world-wide victory take and look like? Reforming Islam or deprogramming its followers is nothing less than Viktor Frankl’s death camp observation of the delusion of reprieve (Man’s Search for Meaning). Resistance to be effective requires the same commitment to victory that was present in WWII. Where is that commitment now? What will it take for the commitment to come into being? They are committed to dominating or destroying us; where is our commitment to resist? “Questions are a burden to others; Answers a prison to oneself.” (Goethe?)
underbed cat says
Yes, Robert Spencer, I remember Sept. 11, 2001, a day off Tuesday, the very early hours when I heard a voice calling me to come down stairs, telling me that “the Trade Center had a fire, some say a plane flew in to it.” The day before I had told my husband about a strange sense that the reports of terrorism could happen, we could be attacked, since many things were happening to a ship the Cole, there was a name reported of a terrorist Osama bin Ladin and I saw a funny shape jet trail, I can’t recall the shape.
The day got weirder when I decided to run for extra drinking was and food after the horror of seeing the second plane hit the second Twin Tower. At the checkout counter a man stood behind me, with a shaving razor purchase, a 2 day beard, a wrinkled shirt, tall tan and made a sarcastic a comment about the water purchase, was I going to fill my swimming. pool. The grocery clerk said the report was that the Pentagon was hit, and I think a building collapsed. I was horrified, the man groaned and jeered unconcerned. As I packed up my items he passed behind me and bent toward my ear and said, “You don’t even want to know who I am”. A chill went thru me, I tried to see what vehicle he left in but he was gone, although it could have been a white van that was parked near a pole. Later in the day the power went out, and I was alone for a few hours…witnessing the attack thru the news. It was gruesome, my mind could not imagine what these people were experiencing. So today, I nearly forgot, what day is was, thank you for the article…we were attacked just as the 1st edition 9/11 Commission Report book I purchased, as most of the book makes references to Islam, mosques schools, the Hadiths established worldwide and in the U.S. and the funds went for weapons to fight in Afghanistan, and the enemy banked on the conclusion the U.S. knew very little about Islam….and how they could pull this deception and attack off and in some respects still pull the wool over our eyes that Islam is peaceful…..and that the terrorist are not from the Islamic world. Just check your local library…the books are plenty that want to fool, but there are a few authentic books which tell a different story line since the motives come from the commands, this is the problem as the hijra mass immigration( refugees) is also continuing as part of the plan.
Phil Copson says
“….he passed behind me and bent toward my ear and said, “You don’t even want to know who I am”. A chill went thru me it….”
From your description of him, and the fact that he talked in cinematic clichés, I think that what you encountered there was a self-absorbed, self-important “me-me-me” Lefty, childishly unable to pass up the opportunity of parading his “see-if-I-care,-they-had-it-coming-to-them” attitudes, and to make your blood run cold by pretending that the attack was something to do with him.
I rather doubt that any American working for a government agency engaged in a sinister plot, would actually go round supermarkets boasting about it…..
underbed cat says
“motives come from the commands of the Quran.”
underbed cat says
This day many honoring of the innocent victims of a NY Trade Center Islamic jihad attack. Does the stock exchange invite those who honor? Maybe or maybe not, they don’t know yet….or they still believe in fantasy mosque or as they say money talks and the enemy walks. A guest honoring at 9:18.?
rubiconcrest says
Since 9/11 I’ve learned a lot about Islam. In Islam a simple word like peace means ‘war’ and slander means ‘truth telling’. Orthodox Muslims live by different conventions. This is why we have a devil of a time understanding them. They drive on one side of the road and we drive on the other. We will continue to collide until either we or they decide to adopt the other’s conventions.
Jake says
Yeah, it seems like Trump is just too late to save us from Islamization. That sucks. Hope not though.
gravenimage says
It is not so much that he is “too late”, as that he is not doing much.
We have to persevere, though.
Judge Smales says
The History Channel’s documentary series “The Road to 9/11” made it clear that this tragic event occurred because Osama Bin Laden, Ramzi Youssef and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed hijacked a beautiful religion that already wanted to kill us.
Walter Sieruk says
There can be no doubt that Osama bin Laden was grinning on that day of September 11, 2001 when he received news of that murderous affront on humankind and America, being such an evil and vile character that he was. Bin Laden when he found out that his demonic scheme worked all he could do was sit around a grin. That Islamic fiend Bin Laden that no sympathy or empathy all for all the people who died the awful way in America. For he was actually glad about that murderous jihad calamity that occurred that day of 9/11. To such a callousness of that character as Bin Laden the Bible teaches “He who is glad calamity will not go unpunished.” Proverbs 17:5. For that’s just what happened. For as they say “What goes around comes around.” So when his deadly violence came back on him in his compound on the outskirts of Abbottabad he was no longer grinning. For on the day the heroic Navy SEAL’s exterminated him, the report was that he looked confused and scared. Likewise the Bible teaches “For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” Galatians 6;7. Bin Laden sowed violence and death so therefore he reaped violence and death. The very words of Jesus thus are proven be to be true. For Jesus taught the “He who takes up the sword shall perish by the sword.” Matthew 26:52. For Bin laden took up the firearm and he died by the firearm Osama bin Laden is now suffering in the fire of hell. May the name of Osama bin Laden rot in history. As the Bible teaches “The name of the wicked shall rot.” Proverbs 10:7.
Also, the heroes of United 93 banded together to fight the Jihadists and foiled their evil scheme by preventing more death and destruction in Washington D.C. The heroes united in a band or cord against those Islamic evildoers. The above is a reflection of Ecclesiastes 4: 12. This reads “Though one may be over-powered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken..”
Finally, all these jihadists will have a harsh awakening after they die; they will find out that they were lied to about the 72 virgins in a paradise. That is just one of many “cleverly invented stories” of men Second Peter 1:16. Instead of the virgins they will find themselves in hell with no hope.
Walter Sieruk says
Since today is September 11, 2007 which is the sixteenth anniversary of those brutal, cruel and murderous Islamic terror attacks that occurred on September 11,2001 by jihadist/Muslims who were operatives of that heinous and vicious jihad organization al Qaeda have the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, is the foundation for jihad entity and its deadly violence by the means of which the jihadists of Al Qaeda advance their Islamic agenda. Of the many verses which support and teach jihad violence is Surah 4:89. 5:33.9:5,123. So just to quote two examples from the Quran are Surah 9:111. Which instructs “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” This, very much, reflects the Islamic suicide /homicide jihadists who hijacked those jet planes of 9/11. Also, Surah 47:4 teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using jet planes as missiles can sure make are greater “slaughter among them” than as word can. Therefore, this leads to every important question “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax?” The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Jake says
I mean, the Bible too is both a fiction and a hoax, but at least it’s not explicitly telling people to kill!
JawsV says
No, the Bible is not a fiction and a hoax, Jake. Jesus Christ is the real deal (God).
Yes, 7th century Islam is a hoax. Muhammed and Allah are the same.
Christianity and Islam are total opposites.
Jake says
Please. Get off your high horse. Your belief in that book is just the same as the Qur’an (only you’re probably not violent and Christianity is vague enough you can still be a good person.)
gravenimage says
In other words, a belief in the Bible is just the same as a belief in the Qur’an–save that its effects are polar opposite…
Jake says
Pretty much, gravenimage.
gravenimage says
OK…
Frank Anderson says
Please allow the insertion of another view: The Bible is a combination of history and fiction. It was almost certainly written by people who did not witness the events, making most of the story rightly subject to honest doubt and question. Those who did witness actual events were neither accountants, historians, mathematicians, or otherwise well-prepared to create a legally defensible account. But it was the best they could do at the time with the skills they had. In the meantime, the Book, both sides of the Book, has been in the hands of people, translated and re-written with many motivations until we see today the versions we have. Properly recognized and applied in a quest for good mental health and a harmonious society, the Bible can be an excellent guide for those who seek mental health. Islam teaches murder. The Bible teaches life. See, for example, Burton Mack, “Who Wrote the New Testament”. That’s my opinion.

The deluded dangerous and homicidal jihadists of Al Qaeda, on 9/11, after they hijacked those jet planes to use as missiles and succeeded in their mad and delusional Islam quest to created much mass murder and destruction. Those jihadists had an awful surprise after they died in their suicide/homicide attacks . In that after they died in their murderous Islamic affronts on September 11, 2001 they had a shock of horror when they discovered that the promises of the Quran were false and they found themselves no in any kind of paradise, with or without virgins, and they were then trapped and suffering in a in the fires of hell. Luke 13:28. 16:19-31. For the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God. “ Galatians 5:21. [K.J.V.] Furthermore, in the Bible book of Revelations in 21:8. It gives of list of the kinds of people who will end up suffering terrible without end in one type of those persons on that list are murderers. In short, those murderous jihadists of al Qaeda now understand that they were wrong as well as deluded because after they died they had a very harsh reality check. For they found out the hard way that the promises of Islam were bogus and that Islam is a false religion.

About that September 11, 2001 jihad murderous affront against both humankind and America the following might be interesting to some people. A type of thinking of many from Middle East is the sayings that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” This type of Middle Eastern “philosophy” may explain, to a degree, how Muslims of two different branches of Islam which are hostile to each other can work together against what they perceive as a “common enemy.”
In this case the mullahs and other in power in Shi ‘ite Iran can work with the jihadists of al Qaeda against which they see as “The Great Satan” By that term they mean the United States of America. As the Muslim author, Rohan Gunaratna , explained in his book INSIDE AL QAEDA . For on page 198 it reveals that among different Islamic terror originations that “Ideological tolerance and intergroup cohesion as a means confronting a common enemy.” So another author, Robert Spencer, in his book which is entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO IRAN supply’s information about this topic. It has been keyboarded that this book reveals “Iran’s long –standing support of terrorists- including shocking evidence that Iran helped plain the 9/11 attack.”

Since this is the sixteenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 murderous Islamic terror affront against both humankind and America is now a appropriate time to make it clear that the god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die. As the above posting she the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. Getting back to the god of Islam, the television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. [NKJV]

With the September 11, 2001 Islamic murderous affronts a better understand the essence of Islam’s holy book, the Quran is important. So what was predicted in the first century AD in the New Testament of the Bible had been fulfilled in the seventh century with Islam. Its false promise of a paradise with many virgins for the jihadist who dis fighting for the cause of Islam. This Quran based doctrine/story of a paradise with virgins may be found in Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31. To put it more precisely this cleverly devised story of the virgins in a paradise taught by the imams was predicted in 2 Timothy 4: 3, 4. which reads “For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate {endure} sound and wholesome instruction, but having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, and will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man – made fictions.” Furthermore, the man who presented the book into the world that teaches the lie of the mansions with 72 virgins is in reality just one of the “many false prophets [that] have gone forth in the world.” 1 John 4:1. And also has its own false message, false angle and is accursed by God. – Galatians 1 : 6 – 9.
THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE
Walter Sieruk says
As for jihad suicide/homicide bombing attacks ,as in the most outstanding in USA was that September 11, 2001 affront against both humankind and America, means that it should be made known that this the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Quran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth. This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]

Grimly spot on.
But, as noted, even Adlai Stevenson was more patriotic and less suicidal than this.

We are witnessing the endgame of western civilisation. This is more than sad but it is a historical process that seems unstoppable. What comes next? War, famine, disease, barbarism. Yet there may be beacons of light here and there. Sauve qui peut.

Sixteen years ago the modern Jihad campaign began. They attacked one of our greatest and most symbolic buildings AND the nerve center of our Military. Had Flight 93 not been resisted they would likely have destroyed the White House. It was a declaration of war by an ideology that has been fighting us for 14 Centuries and since then we have seen almost daily attacks around the world.
Yet our response has been to declare them a “Religion of Peace”, allow the building of thousands of Mosques (barracks) and import tens of thousands more of their coreligionists. Any criticism is denounced as racist or Islamophobic, even as the infiltration continues.
This staggers the mind and bodes very poorly for the future.
Dean says
I applaud the excellent work of Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch as they show great incite into the minds and hearts of devoted Muslims that are intent on bringing the Caliphate back into existence and eliminating the unbelievers. The question that always stymies is why does the West continue to ignore the very real threat to our way of life and the future of our children? As a Christian, I believe this is the same type of “blindness” that is talked about in the Bible in many instances and usually leads to some great event which I hope is the beginning of the End Times. Thanks again to Robert for risking so much to try and lead the blinded from darkness into the light.
UNCLE VLADDI says
I BLAME THE “EDUCATION SYSTEM” – AND HERE’S HOW AND WHY:
Here’s how the so-called “soft” sciences aka “humanities” (anthropology, psychology, sociology, and even criminology) really work: They all started off by examining the various symptoms and EFFECTS of human behavior, thinking, group-thinking behavior, and of criminal free-will CHOICES, respectively, but then self-invalidated by looking for hidden mysterious predestined and predetermined inevitable force “CAUSES” of it all, which degraded them all into only one criminal, excuse-making alibi topic: “VICTIMOLOGY!”
So we get these two, permanently opposed philosophical poles:
Law-abiding Conservatives: “Criminal behavior is an effect of free-will choice!”
Criminal libertines: “But what CAUSED that choice? There’s always a cause!”
Their implication is that there are no crimes nor criminals because we’re all “victims.”
In short: they went from studying HOW people CHOOSE to act, to focusing on WHY (ruling out free will choice entirely)! And that “why” PRESUMES a fear of pain will ALWAYS trump rationality! “So” we are all really ever only helpless victims! Asking “why” people (‘always’) give in to the fear of pain, presumes that: “SINCE anything CAN go wrong, SO it WILL always go wrong, SO we MUST forgive everyone for their mistakes, as being helpless victims!”
But in reality, the real and only reason WHY people commit crimes, is that they still think they can have rights without responsibilities, so they weigh all the risks and rewards in different situational circumstances first!
And they only try to do so in each and every separate circumstantial situation, because they haven’t learned that rights ALWAYS only come with responsibilities, causes with effects, and effects with causes, and so they either remain ignorant of, or choose to ignore, the simple Golden Rule of Law moral Principle: “Do Not Attack First.”
Bottom Line: there is never any magical, separate or special set of circumstances when is is morally or legally acceptable to attack thereby innocent other people first! But idolaters keep hoping there will be, since when they claim that all is allowed unless and until it is very specifically forbidden in advance, they really only mean it is ALWAYS allowed, whether or not it is forbidden, because we can always vote to change the rules later!
And then there’s the politicians.
A common definition of Politics is “power-trading.” The best synonym for this is “compromising.” Politicians have no morals and no “values,” because they do not acknowledge the one Golden Rule of Law principle above all others.
Therefore they are an existential threat to those who do observe it. As such, they are the only true “infidels.”
In government, the legislative branch looks to the future to make laws, while the forensic judiciary looks to the past, to see if any have been broken. But the executive, which is supposed to enforce the laws, demands the right to break them all in order to more efficiently enforce them. So there, nyah!
As such, politicians are professional hypocrites and compromisers – always willing to go along with crimes, to get along with all the other criminals. Since we all do it, too, nobody is innocent, therefore there are no real victims, and also thereby no real criminals.
As their master, Satan, says: “Do what thou wilt shalt be the whole of the law!”

(THIS IS WHY THERE SHOULD BE NO POLITICIANS OR MOB-RULE SUBJECTIVELY ADVERSARIAL EMOTIONAL VOTING OR DEMOCRACY).
Darryl Kerney says
If the ideas of such fools are followed to their logical conclusion, no one could ever be found guilty of anything, criminals would just be helpless “victims” swept along by forces they have “no control over”.
Law and Order would cease to exist.
Darmanad says
RS often and correctly remarks that our media and most of the populace erroneously conflate criticism of Islamic ideology with racially or religiously motivated bigotry against all Muslims. Perhaps now that a (Republican), anti-Muslim immigrationist, hardcore captialist, political conservative, right side of the political spectrum,anti-abortionist, pathological liar, idiot has been elected President of the USA , Mr Spencer can stop conflating “leftist” with dhimmi. So-called leftists and progressives are not ipso facto dhimmis any more than critics of Islamic ideology are bigots. Where one stands on the political spectrum does not define dhimmitude.
Moreover, by continuing to so conflate leftist and dhimmi and to rail against leftists as water carriers and errand boys for jihadists only serves to alienate many who would otherwise pay closer attention to RS’s principle analyses. Let me quickly add that the principle message of RS’s work is not to place one religion on a pedestal above others. Religious beliefs are irrelevant. Jihadwatch is about the derogation of human and civil rights inherent in Islam as it it is practiced today. It is not about your god vs my god.To the extent comments here religion is invoked in the message, it gets blurred if not downright polluted.
