Jihad Watch

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

Muslim Boston University prof: Robert Spencer is “Grand pooh-bah of the legion of American Islamophobes”

Oct 18, 2017 2:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Kecia Ali, associate professor of religion at Boston University, has called me the “Grand pooh-bah of the legion of American Islamophobes.”

Grand pooh-bah! Do I get a hat with horns?

But seriously, what is this charge of being an “Islamophobe,” and where did it come from? I oppose jihad terror, and the Sharia subjugation of women, non-Muslims, and others. One would think that anyone who supports the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law would stand with me in this. But instead, my colleagues and I have been tarred with this label “Islamophobe,” and opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression has been consigned to the realms of “bigotry” and “hate speech.”

How effective has this tarring been? The neighbors of the San Bernardino jihad murderers noticed suspicious goings-on at the killers’ home, but did not call the police for fear of appearing “Islamophobic.” Likewise the young man who blew the whistle on the Fort Dix jihad mass murder plot at first hesitated, fearing that to call the police would be “racist.”

Is there really some irrational hatred of Islam, born of racism and hatred? Are “Islamophobes” sounding the alarm about a real threat? Or are they just the latest recrudescence of nativism and racism? In Confessions of an Islamophobe, I make my case for why even liberals should see jihad and Sharia as genuine threats — and tell the whole story of how I became Grand Pooh-Bah.

    She is as much “Muslim” as Michael Moore is. Since it nowadays is very fashionable to admit yourself to that privileged group, thus they do so. I wait for day when it will be passé.

      Fashionable snobbery of the latest thing. Next month, something else fashionable and likely wrong.

      The Left and Islam share the subtext of totalitarianism and sadomasochism. Now the Left has got on the bandwagon of Islamic misogyny as well. Jew hatred is already a hush-hush part of the Leftist agenda.

      The Left has no principle it will not abandon in the pursuit of power and sadomasochism. Their only constant is to find someone on whom to inflict pain, rather than to improve life for people.

      @Voytek
      Better yet, wait until all Muslims are evicted and banned from entry into a civilized nation and she has to live in a cave or a tent and watch them battle it out among themselves!!!!
      I would love to see the look on her face when that day comes! And it will because the world is fed up already with the uncivilized ideology that never seems to change.

      If indeed she is an Associate Professor of Religion, then she must know that Allah is not God, but rather is Satan and Muslims are Satan’s army…..She watches too many Hollywood movies.

        “Better yet, wait until all Muslims are evicted and banned from entry into a civilized nation…”
        Voytek, I don’t know if you have said that as ‘wishful thinking’ or you are serious about it.
        I, personally, believe and said it few times that Islam is exposed after 9/11 and it will be finished. And the Muslims themselves know it.
        I have to admit that I did not expect it to last that long. But it WILL happen. Islam was contained in the ME for about 1400 years, The West had no idea bout it’s viciousness, since it’s criminal atrocities were limited to the ME.
        NOW, however is a different story. I am delighted that so many Westerners, especially Americans are getting well informed about Islam’s teachings.

        I believe that Pres, Trump’s success to the WH is largely due to his knowledge about this diabolical system and his plans for the Muslims. I can’t wait when I go in malls and I don’t see a Muslim.
        I lived Islam for about 25 years, as a Christian (Coptic) it was hell on earth. The mainstream media (the fake media) is to be blamed for the ignorance of many westerners. The leaders who support Islam must be treated as national traitors. WE ARE AR WAR, the enemy is among us. Pres. Trump should declare martial law until he cleanse the country of Muslims.
        Sensor the media…..

          It’s really absurd how elements like this fan-woman of Moe’s primitive Islam are actually given an audience in a sane society. Such people should not be allowed entry or habitation until they’ve shaken off the virus.
          Some of you may find a recent interview with Raymond Ibrahim interesting. It focuses largely on this inexplicable oddity called dhimmitude:

          Exactly right mortimer, she is a coward with crazy eyes, she’s slunk over the line to insanity as all converts have.

          I’m afraid, carol, that society is no longer ”sane”, it has been politically corrected for too many years, people are too cowed to object, they’d rather let someone else ‘fix it’ and be known as a non racist, non bigot, non islamaphobe…….idiots!

          MUCH respect for Robert Spencer, he is a beacon of light in the darkness to come.

    Professor Ali knows as well as I do that there is is no such thing as islamophobia. I’ve checked and I can’t find the I-word in my 1500 page Websters Dictionary. There are rational and irrational concerns about Islam after 39,000 terror attacks since 9/11 but that is a totally different matter.

    A phobia is when you panic if a spider or a mouse us in the room.

  9. eduardo odraude says

    Oct 18, 2017 at 3:38 pm

    We can see an example of Kecia Ali’s “intelligence” here:
    https://feminismandreligion.com/2015/05/26/all-male-nonsense-by-kecia-ali/

    She insists at several points on basically equating patriarchy in the Western world with patriarchy in the Muslim world. Her failure thus to distinguish between moral grey and moral black, if she really believes there is no distinction, shows she is a moral or intellectual midget. Or, if she does not really believe what she says, then she is presumably a wimpy conformist to social pressure in the university. Either way, an example of total incompetence in academia. Proof:

    An in-depth 2014 analysis of all the world’s nations with respect to a whole range of women’s rights resulted in a ranking of nations. The ranking itself did not even mention religion, but one can easily check for oneself: the bottom twenty nations in the report include eighteen that are Muslim-majority. A 2016 ranking by the same organization had very similar results.
    See
    http://quotingislam.blogspot.com/2011/06/womens-rights-18-of-bottom-20-nations.html

    But Kecia Ali is too incompetent to bother with such distinctions. One could laugh at such foibles, but idiots like Kecia Ali are in part responsible for tremendous suffering of Muslim women around the world. So she deserves every harsh epithet applied to her.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 18, 2017 at 4:12 pm

      Yes–this is ridiculous, but very common.

      And here’s Kecia Ali’s disgusting apologia for the horrors of Shari’ah law:

      “Whose Sharia Is It?”

      https://feminismandreligion.com/2014/05/27/whose-sharia-is-it-by-kecia-ali/

      See? The only real problem with Shari’ah law is that filthy Infidels lack a “sophisticated” understanding of it. Her claims that Shari’ah was never vigorously applied in the past is also without any basis.

        When in mumbia India in 2011 for example, the Jihadists, attacked a rabbi and his eight month old wife, and cut her embryo out of her, and cut his testicales off.. They homicided them for no reason whatsoever, except being jewish, and slaughtered the women simply because Islam and Sharia do not command against this. But that is merely one such example

    She’s just a scam artist who latched on to Islam when it was still an unknown factor. She saw it as a vehicle to push her brand of feminism and find a slot in academia. People like her are not really religious at all, but are cultural manipulators pushing an agenda.

    Robert finally you met your match. She will show you all the things you misinterpreted in Koran to show that Islam is a religion of peace. You should be scared.

    I am looking for your debate with this expert of Islam.

    I also bet such debate will never materialize.

    • Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

      Oct 18, 2017 at 11:27 pm

      “She will show you all the things you misinterpreted in Koran to show that Islam is a religion of peace.”
      Robert Spencer never interprets the Koran. He simply finds the relevant verses and presents them to his audience. He does not distort the literal meaning of those verses with any interpretation. He informs his audience of how those verses are understood in the mainstream of the Mohammadin faith/ideology. That’s it and nothing more.
      The open minded reader/listener to Spencer’s writings/lectures cannot but realize that Mohammadism is NOT the religion of peace. Mohammadism is no more the religion of peace than Communism is the ideology of human well being.

      “Robert finally you met your match.”
      “I am looking for your debate with this expert of Islam.”

      How can she be an expert in Mohammadism when she took years to study women in early Mohammadism and completely failed to come across any of the enormous amount of misogyny present in the faith/ideology? It seems that her profs and advisers successfully hid Koran 4:34 (and all the other verses and hadiths) from her for six years and then sent her on her way with her two degrees. How could she possibly stand one round in a debate when she is woefully ignorant of her new found religion? Seventy-five percent of new converts to Mohammadism leave within the first two years. I assume that the twenty-five percent balance are tenured professors or nit-wits.

      • carol says

        Oct 19, 2017 at 9:13 am

        Tsch, tsch…HOW can you blame this poor “scholar” for distorting reality? Women in Islam leading “quiet lives of desperation” know better than to speak up and Islam really doesn’t CARE about the well-being of anyone (especially half-brained commodities/baby breeders). All that’s really wanted is for everyone to “stuff it” and toe the party line. Heaven lies in eventual non-multiculturalism you see. (someone should tell Justin).
        Some younger Muslimas have a mindlessly serene countenance – attributable I suppose to being happily sheltered under coddling parents and a deceptive milieu. “I’m alright Jack” seems to be their motto – having not yet been personally hit with the vicious, oppressive “stick” wielded by dysfunctional Daddy Islam.

    • mortimer says

      Oct 18, 2017 at 4:20 pm

      Kafirophobia: the hatred of kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.

      Also known as ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’.

      One of Islam’s obligatory, ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES (usul ud-deen).

      Muslims who do not HATE and AVOID kafirs will not enter Islamic paradise.

      -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

    One must hope that the Left has been lulled into such a false sense of security by the patience and tolerance of all those it condems as bigots, that it finally tips them over the edge.

    Beware the fury of the patient man, as the saying goes, and I already detect the faint stirrings of such. By the time the ordinary plebs rise up against the fascist Left, the latter will have destroyed every shred of justification for its arrogant behaviour, so will elicit no sympathy. Bring it on.

    Robert, it’s grand that you have finally been recognized as a “pooh-bah”. This title “pooh-bah” no doubt derives from the honorific designation “(pbuh)”. Peace Be Upon You!

  20. mortimer says

    Oct 18, 2017 at 4:38 pm

    The irony of such PEACOCKING behavior is that Islam has a REAL DOCTRINE OF PREJUDICE AND HATRED directed against the dirty kufaar called AL WALAA WAL BARAA.

    We could rephrase Al Walaa wal Baraa as “KAFIROPHOBIA” … the hatred of KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    An ANTI-KAFIROPHOBIA CAMPAIGN should be started to counter compulsory HATRED directed from Muslims against dirty KAFIRS.

    We should never suggest unlawful violence, much less commit it. In a liberal democracy, to take the law into one’s own hands (except for non-violent civil disobedience) is exactly the kind of arrogance that drives dictators.

      Oct 19, 2017 at 12:52 am

      I see that someone who suggested unlawful violence — someone to whom my above 5:30 pm comment responded — had his comment removed. That is essential. In a democracy with free speech — and we still have it, curtailed as it is in some venues — there can be no excuse whatsoever for illegal violence — it signifies a foolish arrogance. A decent humility means one does not place oneself above the consultative process of law-making in which all citizens take part. To do otherwise is to appoint oneself a little dictator, a law unto oneself. Such arrogant behavior, when there is enough of it, prepares the way for a dictator on a larger scale, namely in the government.

      • carol says

        Oct 19, 2017 at 10:27 am

        But what happens when power is so arrogant that it chooses to manipulate and NOT to listen to the people? Then you might have to get down to “brass tacks” (it’s supposedly WHY Americans want their guns). We can only hope that very soon escaping tiresome, noisy Leftists will be “THE change that’s as good as a rest”. Such attention-seeking, desperate bores!

        A 77-year-old Christian woman was inexplicably viciously beaten on the Ganatchio Trail in Windsor, Ontario on Sunday October 8th (JW had an article). A 21-yr.-old with a Muslim name has been arrested. Days later a supplement to the Windsor Star (the “Star Review”) placed a summary of what happened to her on pg. 2. There was no mention of the suspect’s name and a lengthier article strategically placed directly above happily described the virtues of a certain Jewish man who had soon thereafter gone about town painting over recently-found graffiti that largely bashed Muslims. He said that “being Jewish made him appreciate that NO MINORITY SHOULD BE PERSECUTED”.

        The Christian “canary in the coal mine” lay with critical brain injuries while the mayor next went to the media to report to the public that “the Ganatchio Trail is totally safe”. Dhimmitude seems to remain blissfully unmoved and undisturbed in Windsor, Ontario if truth be said.

        Although this story didn’t spread very far afield, we can rest assured that the M-103 committee will carefully document the latter horrid graffiti-event.

    It’s a great honour, Robert, to be criticised by these Islamophile scumbags. Wear it like a badge of honour. You’re fighting for the good, for civilisation, against Islam’s barbaric evil, which people like this woman spend their time defending. If these types of people are singling you out to be attacked, it obviously means you are doing a bloody good, very effective job. If you’re aggravating such people, it must mean you are being successful in the work you are doing.

      And we continue to pray for the welfare of our leaders, such as Robert and Pamela and Bridget and James and Bill, etc so that the Muslims who take to heart the Islamic doctrine of hate and superiority will not be successful in harming them. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”(ESV James 5)

  27. Wellington says

    Oct 18, 2017 at 5:50 pm

    The photo alone of her rather says it all. But, OK, let’s assume it’s a bad photo of this woman. The fact remains that anyone, I mean ANYONE, who seriously uses the word “Islamophobia” seriously should never be taken seriously.

    Particularly disturbing is that this is the kind of over-educated rubbish now teaching in huge amounts in the colleges and universities across America. My God, these DWDs (Dodos With a Doctorate) are everywhere and they are, in very Orwellian fashion, instructing young skulls full of mush, i.e., what today passes for most students.

    Not a good combo. And I end with this: Were this silly woman to go one-on-one in debate with Robert Spencer it would be a fine metaphorical slaughter, as opposed to that literal kind of slaughter that Muslims have been engaging in in the defense of their profoundly warped creed for some 1400 years now———and which this utterly clueless professor remains ignorant of, probably for the remainder of her days here on earth.

    Yes, once again I aver that higher education in America has become, in effect, lower education here in America. Kecia Ali could be the “poster girl” for such descent. Oh gee, is this sexist? Well, compared to the true sexism that exists in the Islamic world, as evidenced by such Suras as 4:34 and 33:59, I feel vindicated already by anyone who would charge me with such——–as this silly person, one Kecia Ali, would probably be only too willing to do, being the useful idiot she obviously is. Done here.

      These brainwashed liberals are really the real problem. Islam could not survive without these clueless, brainwashed, America hating communists.

        Indeed, as Ayn Rand and the best of the Judeo-Christian tradition have maintained, the covering up and excusing of evil is always worse than just evil itself.

        You’d think by now mankind in general would have figured this out (and especially the elites in the West, the very civilization which pioneered more freedoms by far than any other civilization in history—–alas, this has not been the case). Precisely to the extent that Islam still gets a pass, to that very extent has mankind not figured all this out.

        Leading the “charge” here of such indefensible foolishness (and certainly not just Americans) are figures like Pope Francis I (arguably the single most destructive Pope in papal history, something all sensible and knowledgeable Catholics {now there’s a tall order} should consider), Theresa May, Justin Trudeau, most certainly that wretched woman, one Angela Merkel, the nothing which is Emmanuel Macron, the ex-President Barack Obama who did so much damage to the American Republic, other previous Western leaders like the eternally clueless Tony Blair———a sorry and long list indeed unfortunately.

        The common thread here of apologists for the worst religion of all time? Why modern Leftism, which has even infected the brains of some on the Right, for instance the entire Bush family, Mitt Romney and that particularly execrable excuse for a Republican, one John McCain.

        The rot is deep. The ignorance enormous. And that great parasite, Islam, profiting by all these many errors most surely. Yes indeed, the Age of Nonsense marches on. And liberty remains as fragile as ever, though don’t expect most free people in our time to comprehend this at all.

        I don’t entirely agree. The problem is the combination of leftist charges of Islamophobia, racism etc. with threats of murder from Muslims. Either aspect, without the other, would lose much of its power to effect the debate about Islam. But together, jihadists and the left exert a very effective censorship on many public figures and a large part of the population. Think about it. If the threat of murder by jihadist Muslims were somehow magically contained tomorrow, the whole population, and therefore many more of our public figures, would far more readily and quickly bust through and ignore charges of Islamophobia. On the other hand, the left is equally an obstacle, because if the left tomorrow magically did not yell racism and Islamophobia from every nook and cranny of society, the threats of murder from jihadist Muslims would not be sufficient to stop much greater outcry and resistance to Islam. Why? Because the non-Muslim public would then be largely undivided in resisting. So the problem is the combination of left and jihad, not the left. It’s the old problem of being surrounded and getting hit on two sides at once. Remember the Spartans at Thermopylae. But even though they got crushed, they delayed the Persian invasion long enough that the rest of Greece had a little more time to prepare. And so a huge Persian army and navy were ultimately destroyed by much smaller Greek forces, Western civilization was saved, and the classical Greek age overflowing with astonishing genius immediately followed.

          Actually, I agree. It’s a combo. Either one alone is despicable enough, and influential to a fair degree. But it take’s that combo you mentioned to make it all very lethal and pronouncedly invidious.

    She has a Wiki page. Here, an excerpt:

    Kecia Ali (born 1972) is an American scholar of Islam who focuses on the study of Islamic Jurisprudence (fiqh) and Women in Early and Modern Islam. She is currently a Professor of Religion at Boston University.[1] She previously held a position at Brandeis University’s Feminist Sexual Ethics Project, and was a research associate and postdoctoral fellow at Brandeis University (2001–2003) and Harvard Divinity School.

    Education[edit]
    Ali received her BA at Stanford University in History and Feminist Studies in 1993. Then, in 2000, she received her M.A. in Religion and in 2002 her Ph.D. in Religion both at Duke University. She converted to Islam while in college.[1]

    Couldn’t find out if she’s married to a Mohammedan, but that’s most likely the case.

    • Bronson says

      Oct 18, 2017 at 7:19 pm

      Yes, most likely she met a Muslim named Ali when in college and he told her she had to convert. This is the very common reason why Western women, especially those engaging in Feminist Studies. The more they intellectually commit to these ideas the more their emotional side seeks to counterbalance by aligning with men who have no time for feminism.Looking at what she writes about there is this attempt to reconcile the two in order to convince herself that she is whole.

      Should have read your comment first before I posted mine one above. 😉

      Yeah, I guessed so. She’s just another romantic woman who falls for brutal and simple ideologies. First feminism and next islam. Too bad she decided to stay in the US and not move to one of the muslim “paradise” countries she’s so in love with.

      • eduardo odraude says

        She is certainly critical of male patriarchy among Muslims. As far as I can tell, she is not trying to excuse or hide that. Her shortcoming is that, at least in one case I’m aware of, after she critically points to egregious examples of male supremacy among Muslims, she writes in a way that could suggest she considers Islam and the West equally flawed in that respect. Which is certainly ridiculous and does a grave disservice to oppressed Muslim women around the world.

    CONGRATULATIONS Robert for being called anything by Muslims, because you are hitting a Muslim’s nerve. Hitting a Muslim nerve is an honor.

    When I started my fight against Islam right after 9/11 (9/12/2001), I was called bigot and all other names and threats. But, you know all that. My replies to those Muslims, and actually non-Muslims Americans too, was I am proud to be called bigot, because I am, as far as Islam is concerned. Then, they found other names calling, which did not bother me a bit.

    Specifically, rejection of bronze-age superstitions.
    We all experience rejection, get over it, and get on with life.
