Today I spoke at a Young America’s Foundation national conference for high school students about “Islamophobia,” jihad terror, and why the establishment media and political elites exaggerate the former and ignore the latter.
The event starts at 10:30 in the video.
jihad3tracker says
ROBERT’S ENDLESS ENERGY & TIME PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE LEFT’S AGENDA TO, AS HIS COLLEAGUE PAMELA GELLER PUTS IT, “DESTROY THE NATION”.
I am an old geezer (age 69) who, thanks to God and fortunate timing, attended public school during years when teachers actually expected students to CONSTRUCT ARGUMENTS BASED ON SOLID REASONINIG.
The currently ubiquitous word “Islamophobia” would have been laughed at mercilessly by my best English rhetoricians and U.S. Government instructors. “Haven’t you gotten out of 8th grade yet, Steve?” is probably how they would have pinned my shoulders to the wall where dunces hung out.

***** HERE IS AN ITEM UP AT PAMELA GELLER’S BLOG *****
https://gellerreport.com/2018/03/sjp-jewhatred-uc-santa-barbara.html/
AS I HAVE WRITTEN HERE ON JW MANY TIMES — She is the most courageous civilian in our United States. On May 3 2015, with Robert and fearless counter-jihadists, Pam refused to submit to Sharia — that is, Muhammad must NOT be depicted.
She is a 24/7 ZIONIST. ISLAM IS COMMITTED TO ISRAEL’S DESTRUCTION. The Left will never admit that, because such honesty about its Jew hatred would prompt us to ask if ISLAM might be also intent on killing Muhammad’s despised faith, Judaism.
Please find a few short minutes every week to see what Pam posts oh her blog: www [dot] gellerreport [dot] com.

Mr. jihad3tracker, I’m an old geezer too (88) and I also am glad that I was born in 1929 and had faithful Christian parents and teachers in Chicago and pastors, everybody really, that used common sense in their daily life. God bless our young people to soon learn the truth because, as Mr. Spencer emphasizes, that if you know truth, you win – and now a whole sermon can be preached on what that means. God help us.
warren raymond says
“Islamophobia”, supposedly an irrational rejection of Islamic doctrines, is an insult. It insults the absolute majority of non Muslims in that it suggests they suffer from a mental disorder. The insolence of Muslims must be thrown right back in their faces until they retreat.
You’ll find the same with “homophobia”.
Lydia Church says
Precisely.
These are all herd prodding and bullying terms.
And I do throw them right back in their faces every chance I get!

StellaSaidSo says
Excellent video presentation, as usual, Robert!
Nice polite group of students, too – a nice change from Stanford!
jihad3tracker says
HELLO AGAIN SSS — Your mention of Stanford (refuge of student thugs + their admin pimps) brings to my mind a scheduled visit by the conservative web star & eminently credentialed Ben Shapiro on March 21 at Washington DC’s Georgetown University.
Here is a hotlink: http://www.thehoya.com/editorial-despite-bigotry-debate-shapiro/
Those of us here at JW who follow Robert’s reporting know that G. U. has been CORRUPTED BY SAUDI MONEY FOR DECADES. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal gave about $20 million to establish ACMCU. Year by year it became a swamp of taqiyya, with top dog John Esposito + his sociopathic cyborg Nathan Lean.
“The Hoya” — source for the link — is a commendably neutral resource student-run blog, and its Jesuit-founded (1789) university certainly has professors who maintain academic integrity. But I would be serious money on hidden Saudi $$$ landing in the wallets of most long-tenured persons, hidden by layers of anonymity.
So, keep an eye out for Shapiro’s fate — If he gets a fair shake, let’s chalk it up, at least to some degree, to persistence of counter jihadists at locations like this.
StellaSaidSo says
Yes, I saw that, jihad3tracker. It’s a brave soldier of the counter-jihad who sets foot on Georgetown university campus! Saudi money has corrupted so many centres of higher learning. This is one of the many great tragedies of the relentless advance of the pestilence of Islam.
LeftisruiningCanada says
YAF are a great crowd it seems. Seen several recorded speeches done at their events.
Good work Mr Spencer, Christ keep you.

It is encouraging to see High School students who are informed about Islam.
Many thanks to Mr. Spencer for keeping them, and many of us, informed.

I’d like to offer what I’ve learned about Islam from a persecuted Christian female from the Middle East who also speaks out against the deceptions of Islamist.
The daily life of Christians living among Muslims under Sharia is hell on earth, the western mindset is so different the daily life of the persecuted have never heard terms like Islamophobia, radical, hijacked or moderate Muslim.
I will describe only one reality she endured as a child but her life was never what we regard as normal and her experience and that of those who lived receive little attention, so on behalf of the voiceless allow me to give one incident that carried on during her childhood.
You must imagine this, think differently not with clear eyes but from the perspective of those in this event, her parents, what they did not do and why, the wife of the Imam and what she was thinking, and the Imam and what his lust was all about, try not to think like you normally do, think like those involved in this event.
Days when the wife of this Imam came to my friends place of residence, keep in mind Christians in this community and most other’s must never lock their doors, this women came for my friend who at the time was five years old, she took her from the family without resistance, the parents know they must submit or die, now think about the wife of the Imam, what was on her mind, think about my friend who must endure what this Imam demanded, now think about this large bearded Muslim Imam, his lust for sex was to pleasure his sexual desires and he did without concerns.
If you step back just for a moment and envision this from the mindset of a Muslim all is well and merciful, if you think about this event from the perspective of what would you do under such conditions if you were subjugated and subdued, than think about it as a free living western mindset you will make a connection of why my friend is warning you, hell on earth is the life of unbelievers under Sharia once Muslims take control, this is one event among many, even those that result in death which my friend witnessed many times, think about the government, the police, the neighbors who all condone this as merciful.
Are we sure we want to embrace deceivers on our soil today, who have the platform in our news, our government, our culture including our education system et al, are you sure it’s o.k. to entertain elitist Jihadist who smile and charm the unbelievers on cable news and conservative radio shows? We have a choice today, it will never change and with that thank you for taking the time to hear a voice for the voiceless..
gravenimage says
Horrible, Danny Boy. And the wife of the Imam was complicit.
How did your friend eventually get away? Was she returned to her parents at some point?
dannyboy998 says
She lives with this today in her thoughts, this was not an isolated incident it went on for some time, her parents like other Christian parents have no recourse, just so you understand that a little better a Christian family in her community did show emotion and for that (please don’t think what I am about to say is not true ) the family was killed in a most gruesome way in which the screams she recalls were hell on earth, the family was taken to a meat grinder and one by one murdered. Personally I live this with her and it’s a duty of mine to at the very least attempt to share this with fellow Americans when I can. Blessings, Dan

mohammad would be proud.
Terrible story from a hellish situation. This will happen wherever islam becomes strong.
Lydia Church says
Conspiracy theorists and prophets of doom corner says:
There will be more attacks, slander, and pressure put on conservative media and freedom of speech.
I have seen an exponential curve upward in this lately and have the sense that it will continue to escalate.
I know many think that if we just fight hard enough, all of the boogie men will go away and the insanity will die down again. The stormy skies will leave and the sun will shine over Mayberry again. We can all start thinking about Little League games again and lemonade in lawn chairs. It is called wishful thinking. I understand. However, it will only get worse. And, that is no reason to stop resisting.
The main reason for resisting evil is not so that evil will be overcome. That is the second goal. The main reason for resisting evil is to resist evil. And it will be overcome. But it does not have to be by me. If I resist evil, and I die resisting it, I have still overcome it.
You know, I like that so much I think I will put it in golden quotes and frame it!
: D
Just keep fighting, no matter what!!!
So will I.
LeftisruiningCanada says
well said LC. Evil must be resisted because it is evil!
Cicero says
Hear hear! I also encourage fighting on a personal /one to one level
I am heartened by your post.
Thank you
John Stefan Obeda says
Jesus resisted evil and evil killed Him. But He rose from the dead and that shows us that He was successful in overcoming evil. God also help us to fight evil even if evil itself kills us for doing so. Why ought we be willing to sacrifice our life for fighting evil? Because, as LrC says: evil is evil. And, then I say, as a retired clergymen, by the grace of God through faith in Jesus we shall inherit eternal life and rise from the dead. God Himself sees to it that truth will prevail.

James Pierce says
They push this myth because there is no shortage of simpletons willing to believe anything they’re told and are afraid of being labeled “racist”, “bigot” and the like if they don’t.
mortimer says
A FRANKEN-WORD … that’s what it is,,, this portmanteau word… ISLAMO-PHOBIA.
Dr. Frankenstein’s monster had the head of one man sewn onto the body of another.
The two parts were MISMATCHED. ISLAM and PHOBIA don’t really fit. Islam is an ideology.
Can one be phobic about an IDEOLOGY? COMMUNISTO-PHOBIA? Or NAZI-O-PHOBIA? Or ANARCHISTO-PHOBIA? Perhaps. One can also have VALID CONCERNS about a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. I do have valid concerns about Nazism and Communism.
One can have VALID CONCERNS about a SUPREMACIST, TOTALITARIAN, MISOGYNISTIC ideology… namely one can validly challenge Islam’s supremacism, totalitarianism and misogyny.
Islam is also a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY… Islam is a SUPREMACIST and MISOGYNISTIC ideology.
Sam says
Robert Thanks for talking to young people. I think they are the key now to turn this Islam b’s around.
Conservative kids will have a very hard time in the near future against liberal forces. Hope truth wins sooner without bloodshed in the USA.
Phil Copson says
“Jihadophobia” kept the world safe for a very long time – when was the knowledge forgotten ?
gravenimage says
In part because we had basically won, Phil. For almost two hundred years we isiolated Islam from the West and were largely free from the fear of Jihad terror. This succeeded so well that as a society we largely forgot about it.
Then it was so far forgotten that the West actually began inviting Muslims in.
Anyone who understood anything about history should have realized that this was a very, very bad idea.
Indiana Tom says
I thought the video was spot on. This whole thing is not just combatting Islam, but also Marxist Leninist Communist theology and Giovanni Gentile National Socialist theology. Yes, I did say theology. The Red Green Axis is for real. The global elite is betting after the fall of Judeo Christian society they will be able to clean out the Muslims. The Muslims are betting that after the fall of Judeo Christian society they will be able to clean out the secular humanist globalists. Heads they win, tails you loose.

Gaz says
With regard to the left’s close association with islam, Robert states that this is because “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and the leftists cosy up with islamists in their desire for a totalitarian state. That seems very obvious but most of the leftists media outlets pushing the left agenda are controlled by the jewish elite. At the same time, islam is no friend of Israel and would wipe it out if it could. Further, in countries where islam is begining to taking hold like France and Sweden, there is a significant rise in anti-semitism which affects the very people who are bringing this on. Can Robert please explain what seems to be an obvious contradiction.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Maybe, and it’s just an idea, but maaaybe the whole ‘Jewish control’ thing isn’t as important (or real) as many like to believe?
Gaz says
Maaaybe. In which case who is pushing this agenda?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Who are we not allowed to criticize? And who enforces it?
LeftisruiningCanada says
And sometimes, things just happen without anyone pushing at all. The very assumption that there needs to be some centralized control over what happens is well worth questioning too.
(because it shows how used we have become to thinking in terms of central planning instead of a free market of individuals)
StellaSaidSo says
The agenda is being pushed by the UN globalists and the mega-wealthy elites whose goal is ‘One World’ government, controlled by them. The purpose of the migrant invasion is to create social chaos, replace populations, and destroy borders (and thus nationhood) in order to implement a totalitarian regime. There are Jews amongst the globalist oligarchy, but the significance of their being Jewish is often over-stated. These people are powerful because they are the super-rich – the top 1% of the 1% – and they include individuals, families, and corporations. Their diabolical plan has been more than a century in the making, and for much of that time their real intentions have been concealed from the public (for example, the EU was always intended to be a political union, but it was ‘sold’ to members as a trading bloc). However, the cat is out of the bag now.
gravenimage says
More babbing about the “Jewish elite”, I see.
No–the entire media is not controlled by Jews, as some like to pretend.
As for actual Jewish people, many are clueless about the threat of Islam–just as is the case with Gentiles.
Cicero says
Just as is the case with most Indians!
Myrl says
During your lectures, instead of trying to convince listeners that Islamophobia is the mistaken term given to anyone who tries to give the alarm about the jihad threat, and that the term is a misnomer and has little or no meaning. I suggest we should take the opposite tack. Let’s explain all the reasons we have for being fearful of Islam. In other words, “You betcha we are Islamophobic”. And it is not only jihad terrorism that we fear, it is EVERY ASPECT OF ISLAMIC THINKING and that way of life.
Islamophobia (fear of Islam) is exactly what the West should be experiencing to the highest degree. Let’s embrace the term Islamophobia and explain at every opportunity why it is an accurate characterization of all westerners who know the Quran, the Hadiths and the preaching that takes place in their mosques. Let’s stop letting the political left beat us to death by the use of the term. We have every right to feel and express our concern over all that Islam is.
You, Robert, are superb in quoting the verses that give rise to the barbarism of Islam. Thank you for leading the way and working so hard to get people to understand. Maybe taking this turn in how we use the left’s epithet would further help America to wake up.
Yes, we stand against every tenant of Islam. It is in no way a religion of peace. We speak against it because it is incompatible with our constitution and Christian ideology. It seeks to destroy our society, to impose Sharia law, to subject us to life as dhimmis. It seeks to cause our society to become unable to govern itself, and on and on. Who wouldn’t have a phobia against such a threat? Only those ignorant of the details of Islam, or those who hate America and insanely want the triumph of Islam, will continue to make Islamophobia seem like a bad word.
mortimer says
Myrl, the premise of this Franken-word is all wrong, namely, that an IDEOLOGY may not be validly criticized and that to do so is a mental illness.
‘Islamophobia’ is a Straw Man Attack, rather than a valid argument. The idea is to prevent the speech of a supposed ‘MADMAN’ from being heard. We want to tell people it is not mad, but reasonable and sane to express concern about Islam’s unrepentant supremacism, misogyny, cruel punishments and doctrine of SACRED PREVARICATION (taqiyya).
Islamophobia is a way of drowning out the message, no matter how reasonable the message is. We want to refute the term.
The term ‘Islamophobia’ is a form of TAQIYYA.

Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Neonazi hate campaigns against muslims are failing in the West.They are appealing to myopic tiny minority only. Thanks to intensive intellectual discourse on Islam
gravenimage says
Notice that–as always–Ibrahim itace muhammed is unable to point to a single thing that Robert Spencer supposedly got wrong.
His claim is that telling the truth about Islam is “Neonazi hate campaigns”. What crap.
And notice his saying that if Infidels do not want to be oppressed, raped, and murdered by Muslims that they are “myopic”. *Ugh*.
Norger says
And what passes for “intellectual discourse” on Islam is “don’t bother me with the truth or facts, just shut up for the sake of diversity, you Islamophobe!”
dumbledoresarmy says
Were there many people in the audience? And what is their average age?
This ‘Young America Foundation’ is a hopeful sign.
Thought for the day – what if there were a “Young Britain Foundation”?
A “Young France Foundation’?
A “Young Sweden Foundation”?
And how would the REsistance, in those countries, go about setting up something of the kind, so as to do it “under the radar” and build numbers of solidly-Islamoinformed youngsters aged 18-30?
dumbledoresarmy says
How big is the “Young America Foundation”? What kind of numbers, what age group are we talking about?
If you’re getting full houses of young people aged 18-30, and they’re paying attention… that is a *very* hopeful sign.
Thought for the day: maybe UK, French, German, Swedish, Canadian, Aussie jihadwatchers need to be thinking about how an analogous movement could be got going, in their own countries. Is there anyone amongst us who works with young people – 18-30 – who has some idea of how to reach them, and how to identify the smart ones who are not buying all the Islamoprop and Islamopuffery with which they are being deluged?

I don’t have exact numbers, DDA, but it is pretty big:

Hi Robert
I just heard Rena Aslan being interviewed on “ Pod Lives Matter” via BBC Radio 4 Express. , POD Li es Matter is an organisation set up by three ex aides of ex President Obama.
I was very surprised to hear Aslan being given air time on mainstream British Media..
He is very fluent and persuasive. The American accents gives his views validity. A lot of specious and solipsistic reasoning – eg saying that religion is another word for identity but then going on to say that Pew survey indicated that 25 percent of Americans and thirty percent of millennia Americans gave their religion as “ Non” which Aslan referred to as a category of religion. He also conflated religion with spirituality.
It is an interesting but ominous development in America – the. coming together of Islamic forces-allied with the Black Power struggle and Left wing activists
StellaSaidSo says
Reza Aslan is a charlatan and a fool. Only leftists and the mentally challenged take him seriously.

UNCLE VLADDI says
The Qur’an clearly and very specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:
Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:
1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
3: Allah made them both like that;
4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
(“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
…
It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.
(And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9; 9:29 demands all non-muslims be fought, extorted, and enslaved because they don’t believe in Muhammad’s ‘allah’).
That is, the Qur’an demands muslims wage offensive war – not in self-defense – but because of others’ “disbelief!”
So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god,and so should offend them.
Muslims have been officially taught to believe that they are the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and that unbelievers are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).
——-
*[Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers! (3:151)].
(See also Bukhari 2977:122 as commentary on Sura 3:151).
So allah invented islamophobia, just as Moe had prophecized!

Thank you Mr. Spencer!
