Jihad Watch

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

Video: Robert Spencer on the Left’s war against reality and attempts to crush all dissent

Oct 7, 2017 5:31 pm By Robert Spencer

Today I spoke at the Young America’s Foundation’s 2017 Chicago Freedom Conference. As usual with YAF, the young people in attendance were informed, committed, and enthusiastic.

I start at 2:35 in this video.

    Another great talk by Robert Spencer warning of the increasing danger to our freedom of speech. Thanks so much for educating these students about what is happening and what they can do about it.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve found that if on Google I search under “jihad kuffar” or “jihad kafir” or the like, I will get links to JihadWatch on the first page, often at the top. It seems to be a way of getting around their blocks.

      i agree that that the old testament and the koran share some similar ideology ” an eye for an eye ” for example , but we Homo sapiens as a species have been in the process of evolution for more than 200 000 yrs. The book of Leviticus (the Law ) the concept of an eye for an eye < was written almost 4000 yrs ago These Levitical Laws were proscribed according to the development of our species ,which i remind you was 4 ooo yrs ago .2 thousand years later we have a New Testament, A new witness A new thought pattern introduced into the Psyche of Homo Sapiens .In other words as Species evolve , so do their Laws . We as a species 'Grow from Faith to Faith " When Jesus arrived on the scene ,Here is what He said 'An eye for an eye is Evil " " You have heard it said Love your neighbor andHate your enemies" "BUT I say to you LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU " The old Testament was meant for Primitive Mankind and indeed had its place , But in a modern society , the Old testament , the Old witness, The OLD example has No place . Mankind has Matured in Its LOVE for its Neighbor , and thereby so has its LAWS .Here is the problem i have with I SLAM . Why would the Creator inject into the psyche of humanity some 638 years AFTER the revelation of the Gospel of CHRIST the Stupidity of an eye for an eye ,?????? It seems to be a HUGE DIGRESSION in our progressive Society

      Revereridesagain, I now use ‘DuckDuckGo’ as my search engine, and searching for ‘Jihad Watch’ takes me to a brief description of JW and a link (jihadwatch.org) to the site. There is also a link to a Wikipedia article, historical information, and links to Facebook, Twitter and You Tube etc. So far, so good. I haven’t found any problems with DDG in searching other categories such as scientific articles.

    I think I can answer the question about the Old Testament commands to wipe entire people groups better than what Robert Spencer gave.

    God’s command to wipe out whole people groups to the Israelites was only meant for that particular time and place and not commands to follow for all time. That is why you don’t see Jews and Christians wipe out whole people groups today. But the Quran’s command to wipe out whole people groups is meant to be followed for all time. That explains why you see so much terrorism within Islam today.

      And in the Baal religion, which was found from Carthage to the Mid-East in ancient times – and in a place called Canaan, they sacrificed large numbers of little children to their “god.” They actually carried through with it, unlike Abraham.

        Mark Price and Crystal. It is wise on our part to let the true God do what He thinks is best. Because of their unrepentant sins, He decided to destroy by flood the first world of all people except Noah and his family. And because of the sins that God could not stand anymore, He decided to kill everyone and everything and gave the promised land to Abraham’s and his descendants.
        See Deut. 18:10-12 and 9:4-6 and II King 17:7.

    I’m amazed that Spencer has the time to do so much, writing books, lecturing, running JW, tv appearances, what an incredible work ethic and good example for young people he is. Spencer’s intelligent take on things make the delusions of the left seem that much worse. I can see why they hate him so, he makes them look sooooo stupid. Spencer is an educator for good morals and human rights in an age of absurdity for islam. Nobody respects muslims more than Robert. He doesn’t denigrate muslims like the leftists who shill on their behalf with condescending lies and excuses. He doesn’t pretend that what’s true and ain’t true because he thinks muslims are too stupid or immoral to see reason. It’s a good faith gesture on Spencer’s part to try and educate people who too often hate and resent his best intentions, and he does it without malice and is wholly respectful in the attempt. Organizations like the SPLC and people like Sarsour aren’t about truth and improving humanity. Their agenda is the destruction of our freedoms to appease islam’s inhumane sharia and violent delusions. They pretend to care about people and stopping hate, but in truth they are defending hate and are worsening the human condition in the long run. But they’re finding out that decent folk aren’t going to give up their freedoms without a fight. At the core of every moral person is an innate knowledge of what is right and wrong, good and evil. Such people know that islam is neither good nor right because it contains hateful and dangerous ideas that are causing mass terror and suffering and murder, it has been for 1400 years. It’s an absurd age with millions defending islam’s violent delusions as some kind of divine revelation deserving respect. But it’s also an age of great courage of convictions and love for humanity, and I can’t think of a finer example of that than Mr. Robert Spencer.

      IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!

      I frequently challenge people with the thought that if they were to meet Hitler’s chief HENCHMEN at a cocktail party, they would likely find them urbain, well-spoken and charming… HOWEVER, HITLER’S HENCHMEN BELIEVED IN THE MASTER RACE THEORY.

      ALL Muslims believe in the MASTER RELIGION theory.

    I am always impressed with your talks, and very surprised and happy to see these very intelligent and informed students asking questions in Chicago….I can’t believe you were so close….hope you get to Wisconsin someday…

    Truthophobia or Epistemophobia or Gnosiophobia is defined as the morbid and irrational fear of knowledge or the fear of wisdom. People with this phobia could fear knowledge or wisdom in general, or only certain types.

    The LEFT is afraid of learning about Islam by actually READING and STUDYING the Islamic PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS. They refuse to read them.

    Karl Popper wrote: ” True Ignorance is not the absence of knowledge but the refusal to acquire it.”

    The :LEFT refuses to acquire information about Islam.

    The dirty little secret is that when imams call America the great satan they can point to the US left to validate their claim. Unfortunatly we all get smeared with the same brush. If the US left really cared about muslim sensitivities they would quit being who they are.

    Some people may say that Jihad Watch is bad because it demonizes all Muslims and most Muslims are peaceful and not violent.

    Bridget Gabriel destroys that argument with her “The peaceful majority is irrelevant” video.

    Robert you are doing a huge service by drawing attention to the threat of radical Islam, but when you get into conspiracy stuff about the left plotting to stifle dissent. then you detract from your own credibility. There is a Republican majority in Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court. The left has no political power, yet you bequeath it some kind a magical aability to stop people from expressing their opinions. Come on.

    You are doing extremely important work trying to educate people of all ages about the real nature of Islam, Robert. But it’s especially important to try to wake up young people to the truth. People are often believers in leftist rubbish when young. I hope the younger people wake up to Islam’s evil and the clear danger it represents to all non-Muslims, because large numbers of the older people in western societies have certainly been very slow to wake up and face the unpalatable truth.

    Robert, thank you for risking your life to attend this event. I can’t imagine how many Muslims would love to kill you. Your courage is unbelievable and an inspiration to all freedom loving to people!

    May God continue to bless you.
