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

Andrew McCarthy on Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “Learned, clever, compellingly posited”

Dec 8, 2017 9:09 am By Robert Spencer

Andrew C. McCarthy is a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who led the 1995 terrorism prosecution against the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center jihad bombing. He has reviewed my new book, Confessions of an Islamopbobe, in the latest issue of the New Criterion. I’m grateful for such high praise from someone so accomplished and knowledgeable in this field. Get your copy of Confessions of an Islamophobe here now.

“Accepting Islamophobia,” by Andrew C. McCarthy, New Criterion, December 2017:

Robert Spencer is living proof that there is no such thing as Islamophobia. It is thus a sign of our iconoclastic times that he is regarded as among the “most important propagandizing Islamophobes in the world.” So says the Southern Poverty Law Center, a demagogic “watchdog” group that specializes in mainstreaming the Left’s ostracism of “hate” (i.e., disagreement with the Left).

Spencer is not folding his tents. The intrepid scholar, commentator, and freedom fighter is pushing back. And, Spencer being Spencer, his refutation is learned, clever, and compellingly posited in an engrossing new book—Confessions of an Islamophobe….

      That’s the first time I’ve seen Jayda in action.

      I didn’t know she had court convictions against her, and that’s quite surprising, given the attention those retweets got. The press should’ve been all over her convictions for “religiously aggravated harassment “.

      Or were they too afraid of highlighting what was clearly a politically motivated legal action by the UK gvt.

        Didn’t one of these consist of her carrying a cross in a “Muslim area”? Good grief…

        The UK GOVERNMENT has along with the POLICE & the BBC covered up A MUSLIM FAMILY & FRIENDS GROUP COMMUNITY SUPPORTED RAPE of mainly WHITE BRITISH ( but also Hindu & Sikh) children in almost & possibly ALL UK towns & cities. Despite the census fact that there are only 2-3% Muslim men on an overall population Muslim Man make up 95% of CHILD RAPISTS in these groups & the BRITISH for REASONS ONLY KNOWN to them are desperate to PLAY DOWN /HIDE this fact!
        The LABOR PARTY under CORBYN has publically backed the RAPISTS – having sacked the latest high profile LABOR FRONT BENCH MEMBER- SARAH CHAMPION for stating that PAKISTANI MEN are still raping British Schoolgirls!

        The EDL with Robinson was formed in part to Highlite & Stop this but it has proven to be unstoppable & MAY has been less than interested in putting resources in to do so & so, of course, the RAPE GROUPS now being well entrenched have SURGED in both size & towns!

        Any Opposition to anything ISLAMIC is listed as HATE in the UK including the protection of your local children& ISLAMOPHOBE follows any pointing out that the rape GROUPS are EXCLUSIVELY MUSLIMS!

        Little wonder there is HATRED FOR THIS IDEOLOGY & ITS RAPE GROUPS that are MUSLIM COMMUNITY SUPPORTED & RELIGIOUSLY SUPPORTED as demonstrated by the – “cheering” squads that turn up at court & the -Comming out Parties after prison terms as well as the SILENCE of the IMAMS in the Mosques!

    I’m reading “Confessions” right now. I’m on p.159. The subject is Islamic beliefs being taught in mosks in the West (Canada/U.S./Europe) and how Muslims want the West to be Islamized in accord with Quran 8:39: “Fight them until religion is all for Allah.”

    Everyone go to Barnes & Noble and buy “Confessions.” And — it’s snowing! There’s a beautiful white winter wonderland outside my window! Brrr!

    This islamophobia thing is getting out of hand, even the Pope’s at it now.

    He wants to change the Lord’s prayer because ‘do not lead us into temptation’ implies that God might lead us astray.

    Does this mean the Pope no longer believes that ours is the same as the islamic god?

    Because the koran is clear that allah “causes to stray whom he wills” 16:93

    And if you don’t follow in the paedophile prophet then:- “As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in enjoyment/contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!” 2:126

      I’m analyzing the possibility that Frankie-boy himself, converted to moslims. Frankie displayed strong Socialist/Communistic tendencies while operating out of Argentina prior to Pontification. There is precedence for high-rollers dancing the moslims jig:

      • There is strong evidence that former CIA top-dog, John Brennan converted to moslims while station-chief in Riyadh – Ex Marine and FBI agent John Guandolo provides interesting opinion https://goo.gl/aLzytT

      • Barry Soetoro (aka BH Obama) was born a moslims -once a muzz, always a muzz (his step-father Lolo Soetoro was also muzz) – coz if you try to leave you get whacked for apostasy

      • Femminist Whine-Minister of Kanadastan, Justin Trudeau, exhibits strong muzz tendencies and in fact recited the Shahada https://goo.gl/y7RGnM, All that is required to transition to muzz is to recite the Shahada; which Justin has done – so while he might claim he aint muzz, technically he is https://goo.gl/cLcYNa

      When one thinks about it; what greater infiltration and manipulation of Western values exists than having our power elite masquerade as paragons of Western leadership, while all the while being 5th columnist moslims-convert, seditionists?

      I watch what the “Elite” do more than what they say. The incredibly baffling and counter-Western behavior of HUGE numbers of Western politicians is easily explained if one considers they are closet moslims; paid to convert and influence, from OIC coffers.

        I suppose it’s no different to the 1930’s, when Hitler’s Nazis had a large, and only half-secretive following, among the ruling ‘elite’ outside Germany.

        The good news is that we fought him anyway, despite their collusion.

        The idea that all Western elected officials are closet Muslims is just silly.

    I guess everyone is “confessing” these days, even Al Franken ( sarcasm)

    Haven’t read the book yet but plan on it soon.

    Leftarded neo-Marxists are the NEW SPANISH INQUISTION and they want to burn all heretics who DISBELIEVE their ‘narrative’ that Muslims are the ‘NOBLE SAVAGES’ and that Islam is a religion of peace suitable for such NOBLE savages.

    If fact, Islam is a CULT … a death cult, a rape cult, an extortion cult, a plunder cult, a censorship cult, a misogyny cult, a lie cult, a pedophilia cult, a sadomasochistic cult, an obsessive-compulsive cult, a supremacism cult,k a Jew hatred cult, a Christianophobia cult, a male chauvinist cult, an inbreeding cult, an obscurantism cult, a superstition cult, a personality cult, a cruelty to animals cult, a group-think cult, a suicide cult.

      Might we also call it a f%cking stupid cult?

    I’ve been enjoying Robert Spencer’s new book, which should be read not only by those who want to know more about the dramatic battle between freedom and Islam in the West, but also by anyone who thinks Spencer is an Islamophobic bigot. I don’t see how anyone reading the book with good will could fail to recognize that Spencer is a genuine defender of the most fundamental human rights: freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, democratic rule of law.

      Moslems are Jew/Christian-phobic bigots.
