Thank you, Amil. I’m humbled by and grateful for your words. As the foes of freedom become more ruthless and relentless everywhere, certainly Benjamin Franklin’s quip is truer than ever: we have to hang together now, or we will all hang separately.
“Saluting Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,” by Amil Imani, Capitol Hill Outsider, January 9, 2018:
…People such as Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, have set themselves apart from the shameful gang of self-serving loudmouths who find themselves suddenly tongue-tied when speaking up does not serve their myopic and parochial agenda. If President Trump is for it, they are against it, no matter what.
I am certain that I speak for millions of severely tormented Iranians, where women in particular are subjected to unbelievable atrocities, in thanking you. You are true friends of freedom. You are standing with the people of Iran in their life and death struggle. We thank you for your support.
In my opinion, the liberty-loving people of America and the world owe a debt of gratitude to Pamela and Robert, for valiantly exposing the racist and supremacist nature of the barbarity of Islam, for fearlessly braving where others dare not tread, and for passionately defending freedom of speech, rights of the individual and oppressed people of the world.
Both Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have been sounding this alarm from the very beginning about the true nature of radical Islam and jihadists’ imminent deadly threats to our way of life and American values. While America is the last haven of hope where liberty can reign, Islamic jihadists draw heavily from their treasury flush with oil extortion money to bribe politicians and hire mercenaries to further their evil objectives.
In my opinion, both Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are true heroes. They stand for all that is dear to free people. They are in stark contrast to the masses of the politically correct, the apathetic, and the hired Islamic apologists.
It is noteworthy that their work not only serves what is right, it also serves the best interests of America and all of humanity. It proves to the world that these two-liberty loving cherish and support freedom and the rights of all people to speak freely.
“Where are the champions of … what did they call it? Oh yes, the “Arab Spring” — that great euphemism for the oppressive Islamic supremacist movement that sought to overthrow secular rule for the vicious and brutal and sharia. Here, now, when a genuine movement for freedom takes hold in a viciously oppressive Muslim country, the left stands with the murderers and oppressors. The media, aligned with the jihad force, will never report fairly or even remotely accurately on these matters, as they are the tip of the spear of the anti-freedom, anti-American fifth column in this country.” Pamela Geller
“Today, as the Iranian people courageously stand for freedom, it is most fitting that the removal of the hijab has become the symbol of this movement. We can only hope that the protesters will succeed in overthrowing or at least drastically weakening the Islamic Republic, such that the rights of women, and of all people, can flower. Iranian women deserve better than the Islamic Republic. The Iranian people deserve better than the Islamic Republic. The protesters deserve the wholehearted support of all free people.” Robert Spencer
Sadly, during these times of great peril, truth is sacrificed by the politically correct, the myopic self-serving in the liberally dominated media, and the ruling class. Against this backdrop, two people of great courage and integrity labor tirelessly in speaking the truth and in the defense of liberty.
As US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said it beautifully: “We must not be silent. The people are crying out for freedom. All freedom loving people must stand with their cause. The international community made the mistake of failing to do that in 2009. We must not make that mistake again.”
On behalf of all freedom loving Iranians, I want to say: Thank you. Thank you for reporting the Truth while the MSM blocked the accurate flow of news from reaching the public. Thank you for standing with the valiant Iranian people.
Both Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are champions of freedom, liberty and human rights. They rightfully deserve to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I am honored to call them my friends.

Shockingly… not surprising.
Older Canadian says
Hey people. This video has over looked a lot of what the trudeau’s (both sons of Pierre) were involved in prior to JT becoming PM of canada. It barely scrapes the surface, but is absolutelly correct. Add this to what JT has done since becoming PM it will take your breathe away.

Less about the traitor Trudeau and more from Amil:
Islam was not for me – Amil Imani (Free Iran)

Is Obama a friend of Iranian freedom? No? Is Justin Trudeau a friend of Iranian freedom? No. Is Macron? No. Is Theresa May? No.
Robert Spencer and Donald Trump are friends of Iranian freedom.
Gordon Anderson says
Trump
Sam says
YES!!!
And look what Trump has to go through in the USA along with Pam and Robert.
mortimer says
Amil Imani is one of the few who CORRECTLY observes that Islam is RACIST to the core: the primary texts of Islam give the ARABS and their culture the PRECEDENCE to RULE OVER all other races.
The Koraysh tribe has PRECEDENCE over other tribes and becomes more and more inbred with time.
This Death Cult is mentally ill and physically sick from inbreeding.
Michael Copeland says
Amil Imani’s $100,000 reward, for disproving his claims about Mohammed, remains unclaimed.
LB says
Hopefully the revolution succeeds and Persia becomes secular once again. The West could do with one less mortal enemy in the Middle East.
StellaSaidSo says
A well-deserved and beautifully-written tribute to two great heroes of our time.
Charlie says
Obama said in his UN speech “The future does not belong to those who insult the prophet of Islam”…? Was that an endorsement of blasphemy laws? Frankly, I have no negative feelings toward Muhammad. I simply think that his theocratic ideology is dangerously out of date. As Robert and Pam point out again and again, the exhortations are clearly a source of inspiration for the acts of terrorism against unbelievers on the pretext of their disbelief. All one needs to do is read the original texts. Robert simplifies your work through endless citations in his criticisms. The accusations of “racism” against Arabs Persians Egyptians etc…are unfounded and slanderous. Glad to see that people are finally getting the message. Islam needs to be examined and its not “racists” to read and critically examine.
Michael Copeland says
Obama said “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”.
He also said, at the White House, “I am not the strapping young muslim socialist that I used to be”.
In Islam, the ideology in which Obama was raised, slander does NOT mean what it means in USA. Slander, in Islam, is anything about a person that he does NOT WANT others to hear, true or not.
On this understanding, yes, Obama was threatening anyone who says anything about Mohammed that Islam does NOT WANT generally known. The youtube film he was speaking of, “Innocence of Muslims”, accurately and exactly portrays what Islamic sources say about Mohammed. Nothing was invented. Merely portraying Mohammed is considered blasphemy (Islam’s all-purpose silencing device).
In Islam, saying that Mohammed’s theocracy is “dangerously out of date” is considered an insult to Mohammed, and Allah. It is slander.
Lydia Church says
I see the coliseum ahead, full of hungry lions in that remark…
and I’m still gonna keep on preaching the one true gospel of Jesus!
Mohammed was a false prophet. So there!

The second was supposed to be a joke.
The first was completely serious.

And yes… I second this will all my heart. TRUTH would be poorer if Rob and Pam did not do what they are doing.
Mateen Elass says
“You are true friends of freedom!” Dilly-dilly!!!

Standing for freedom is the right thing to do…More people should do it…
Shmoovie says
Robert and Pamela are called ‘phobes as they stand and speak for those suffering under islam.
The “self-serving… hired Islamic apologists” are grasping selfish PC voices for MB, CAIR etc. They care nothing for true victims yet are laughingly called ‘heroic’.
No tributes like this are written for the liars BO, Ellison, Sarsour & co.
CRUSADER says
Robert Spencer is a remarkably meek man, given his level of scholarship and foresight.
Of course many have tried to massacre his mind by ridicule, but that’s what gave him inner strength.
Indeed the truer definition of MEEK is:
Might
Endowed by
Enduring
Knowledge
MEEK !!!!
Tjhawk says
I like your definition of meek, but by standard definition, I’ve never thought of Robert as meek. He always seems calm and self assured that he is operating from a position of knowledge. The apologists who get taken apart point by valid point certainly don’t think of him as meek.
Robert’s a warrior who operates in real time. I’m amazed at how he can do this. I always think great things to say about an hour after the actual encounter.
gravenimage says
I’m with Tjhawk–I think Robert Spencer is remarkably modest given his achievements, but I would not describe him as meek.
I certainly agree with the rest of your estimation of the inimitable Robert Spencer, though, CRUSADER.
Sam says
Nice to hear from people from Islamic countries that there are some of them who can see what really is going on with the religion of peace.
Thanks Amil!
Unfortunately, I bet you are minority if you are with the Iranian community in any western country.

Be safe Amil.

Who says no good deed goes unpunished, Robert and Pamela.

Well said!
I agree totally.

We all would not do this if we did not care, but we do!
We love you over there and are praying for the best results!

Iranian dissident calls Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer “true friends of freedom” for standing with Iranian people
……………………
Hear, hear!
joanofark06 says
I’m sorry, but I don’t get this. A muslim is a muslim…islam is islam.
All muslims, read the koran, and follow this “religion”, of islam! True or not true?? If they were a muslim and said they converted to any other religion, THAT I might believe, but they could lie about that too..(when I see them reading the koran, when they think I’m not around, for example).
Why would anyone, want to side with ANY muslim, when their koran tells them to cheat, lie, and deceive! (and kill, of course) And the answer to who would side with any muslim….is another muslim!
I just can’t stand with ANY muslim, freedom fighter or not….an iranian muslim, fighter for rights, etc etc….when they STILL study the koran every day, satan’s bible! Anyone want to believe, that there is such a thing as a “moderate” muslim?? When they could STILL stab you in the back, for the tiniest thing?? Can you NOT believe that in the eyes of every muslim, you and I are, and always will be, STILL an “infidel” and not worthy to be in their “circle”??
And getting back to the difference between a moderate and radical muslim, one, how can you look at a muslim and tell the difference?? and two…even PM Erdogan of Turkey said it best, when he said this:
“There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. There is only one Islam.”
Even Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer put up an article on Erdogan saying this, and they should know that about Islam by now. So I just don’t understand Pamela and Robert, when they stand for, or believe in this iranian dissident when he calls them two “friends of freedom”…..and they BELIEVE HIM!! What freedom?? When has a muslim country EVER became free of Islam because some “citizens” of their country went out in the street, and fought the soldiers?? When so many Iranians are in Iran fighting for their, so called “freedom”…..what freedom will a muslim country ever have? Do these fighters in the streets of Iran, think their going to have a democracy, if they can fight their government for it? Who would actually believe that?? Freedom for the fighters in those streets to do what exactly? Speak against their government, without getting shot, or thrown in jail? That’s not what islam would teach. They’d have to convert their whole country to another religion, to have that not happen….it’s the teachings of the koran, that their leaders are following….and they’ll always be a country of muslims, following the koran…..NOTHING is going to change that….not iranian people speaking on CNN, nothing! Iran is always going to be Islamic, NEVER anything else….it’s not allowed!
Does anyone understand what I’m trying to make a point about here?? What freedoms are these people in Iran, looking for?? There is no freedom in Islam!! It seems stupid and pointless to me, to watch these “muslims” in the street, asking for “freedom”! They’re getting killed, and they will get killed, or thrown in jail, and NOTHING will change, for all their troubles…..I’d like to hear someone dispute that…but they better know the koran, and ISLAM!
gravenimage says
Yes, I do take your point, Joan.
But Amil Imani appears to be an *ex-Muslim*:
“Amil Imani: Islam Was Not For Me”
http://blog.sami-aldeeb.com/2011/11/13/amil-imani-islam-was-not-for-me/
He is definitely an Anti-Jihadist who works with Islam Watch.
Carol says
joanofark…Persians are a different breed and most are too smart to stomach Islamic ideology (take a look at Anni Cyrus). Once Islam gets in you shut up if you know what’s good for you and your family. This could end up being us if we don’t figure out how to organize and support like-minded people.
gravenimage says
I would like to believe this to be the case, Carol–but sadly most Iranians are enabling one of the most hideous Shari’ah states in the world, and have been for decades now.
They are either cowed by the Mullahs, or–much worse–actively support it.
Singh the Sikh says
A brilliant article from an insider that lays bare vile Muslim greed, ingratitude, hatred for the west that deserves a re-run on JW and should be circulated and shared widely.

Carol says
Singh…your linked site led to another very interesting article (recommended by a poster). The way muslims think and feel is very alien to us and we tend to lapse into our OWN frames of feeling and reference – thus confusing and conflating who WE are with who THEY are.
We’ve all heard of “TRIBALISM”, for instance, and how it is cause for most of the mistrust and dysfunction in the muslim world. This next Gatestone Institute article provides information about the INFLUENCE OF TRIBALISM and I think it would serve us well to try to keep this alien factor in mind when we try to understand why they do what they do:
Why There Is No Peace in the Middle East”
