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

Robert Spencer video: “Moderate” Muslim scholar Akbar Ahmed wants a “New Andalusia”

Jun 1, 2018 11:27 am By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss Islamic scholar Akbar Ahmed’s call for a “New Andalusia,” and what a “New Andalusia” would mean for non-Muslims in Spain and all across Europe as a whole.

    I think Erdogan is right when he says there is no “moderate” Islam. The trouble with “moderate” Islam is that if a “moderate” decides to become radicalized, LOOK OUT! Another problem with “moderate” Islam is that a radical would not hesitate to kill a “moderate” just because he wasn’t Islamic enough.

        I think you are a tad confused , It is not the Christians ,or Buddhists , or Sikhs etc etc, who are filthy . They do not behead innocent people, or groom young girls as young as 11 years old and abuse them , or cause untold suffering across the world ,that award goes to Islam. Maybe you should listen to the imam Tawhidi who is the outspoken imam on violent Islam .He is an articulate speaker , unlike you that has to resort to foul hateful words.

        May the true God forgive you Ibrahim. It does not matter whether Satan-Allah triumphs in the short run, because mankind will never be fully subject to a faith that preaches hate to those who do not want to praise Satan Allah, the western values are too strong for a savage ideology to take fully over. We shall stand against the sick treatment you grant to women, we shall not prostrate before a fake god who calls you to hate unbelievers, we shall stand strong against a false god that calls to kill apostates of that sick faith, we shall not surrender to the evil Allah who is proud to say he will cast terror into our hearts. Islam is rotten to the bone and in the long run common sense and God almighty will lead the poor lost Muslims out of your hellish prison that commands you to hate, forces you to kill dogs, forbids you to have non muslim friends, bans you from free thinking and lures you into being subjects of a blood thirsty demon and his so called prophet

          Well said Rafael. Nobody in their right mind can support Islam, which is a death cult.

        I see that Ibrahim itace muhammed is gloating again over conquering and enslaving us, and destroying our civilized societies. *Ugh*.

        Of course, he has said that Muslims have destroyed the US economy, and that the dollar is now worth $0–so he is not much one for telling the future…

        …and every country will turn into the sh*tholes that Islamic countries are. You care more about spreading Islam for your weak egos than what the actual effects are and what they would be. Try using your brain, Ibrahim. Islam keeps Muslims in shackles, always has. People make a country succeed and our freedoms are a big part of it. Islam just drags things down. It has proven for centuries that it doesn’t offer much benefit not success for a society. Do you enjoy being oppressed and/or oppressing people? Sounds like you do.

    I remember a long time ago, Akbar did a documentary for the BBC. Its basic point was that everywhere in the world Muslims were being persecuted. Even in Nigeria, when reporting on Muslims murdering Christians, this was somehow, to him, suffering for the poor Muslims! The suggestion that Christians might fight back was seen as a threat of genocide. This man is just twisted.

      An Arabic/Mohammadan proverb that describes the tactic:

      “Tamaskan tatamakan” (“Show a victim’s face [and] take over” or “Show a victim’s face [and] you will win”).

      Yes, Muslims everywhere are being persecuted, and everywhere Muslims are doing the persecution.

    • KJW says

      Jun 6, 2018 at 3:05 am

      Because being persecuted to them means not getting their way. They stir up problems, people get angry, and then they claim persecution. In Nigeria the Muslims want sharia law which the non-Muslims don’t want. So they’re persecuted? Then they claim there’s 1.5-1.8 billion Muslims and “It’s the fastest growing religion” and there are over 50 Islamic/majority Muslim countries in the OIC. So persecuted…

      He speaks with a forked tongue.

    It is the policy of Islam never to concede a loss of territory, the Turks still dream of their Balkan Empire, other Muslims of Spain and the Pakistan war college teaches in its goal of jihad the reconquest of all of India into a Mughalstan State.

    Robert, this was a particularly good video. Very informative.

    I wish more of the willfully ignorant would take the time to see it and question their own uninformed beliefs.

    Robert Spencer video: “Moderate” Muslim scholar Akbar Ahmed wants a “New Andalusia”
    …………………..

    Of course he is–he wants Spain under the Muslim heel, and Infidels oppressed and threatened. Muslims want this everywhere–but especially in places where the Kuffar have been able to free themselves from brutal Muslim conquest.

    • mortimer says

      Akbar Ahmed wants a “New Andalusia”? The OLD Islamic Andalusia was a place of SEVERE persecution and EXILE of Christians from southern Spain. When the Muslims had finished persecuting and destroying Christians in Spain THERE WERE VIRTUALLY NO CHRISTIANS in southern Spain and all the churches had been destroyed or converted into mosques.

      THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE TOLERANCE? Absurd, inaccurate and a distortion of the facts.

        All grimly true, Mortimer.

    Akbar Ahmed’s “Journey into America” should have been entitled “Journey into the Muslim Brotherhood in America”.
    Have your ISNA speakers list handy and you will find MB connected individuals paraded before the camera one after another.

    To call Akbar Ahmed a third rate intellect is really too kind.
    He blows chunks.

      Akbar Ahmed is a great deceiver and a TAQIYYA ARTIST.

      TAQIYYA is NORMATIVE ISLAM, rather than an aberration.

    I don’t get it. Urdu is the oldest language in the world, but for the Hindu’s. This is crazy in my opinion, one would say, when you come to live into the USA, first learn your English as good as possible.
    Should we westerners start to learn Aramic (the language of Jesus)?
    In Europe the English language is very important, (not for muslims, they are staying with their own languages and a lot of them refuse to learn the language of the country they live in. That is “fine” for them, not for us. It should have been obligatory. Everything is falling to peaces, a criminal in jail cost the taxpayers 75.750 $ ,–, which is crazy! People are send free out of prison and they murder again, almost no punishments, crazy. Look at the pictures once more of the first comment, religion of peace !!!
    Are you being served, madame, anything else you like from us? And talking about dirt !
    You want me to sum up what is dirt in our eyes? I don’t even want to spend more time to explain what is really dirty. If you don’t know by now, there is no hope for you.
    Your arrogance for your host countries amazes me till no end and all for free, you must be kidding.

    This is just more taqiyya. One of the first things I noticed about Islam was something Bill Warner points out in his videos, which is that they destroyed the economy of the Roman Empire when they conquered North Africa. The fact is, if you look at the UN’s Statistical Annex for 2012, you’ll see that every country belonging to the OIC is classified as either a country in “transition”, or as “developing”. This is taqiyya too. Egypt, for instance, is “developing” — as for 3000 years. Good luck with that.

    The fact is, all the countries in the OIC are, according to the UN itself, 3rd World countries. Because that’s what Islam does: create 3rd World countries. They consume and give nothing back but ignorance, hate, and war, they are the Shit Hole countries of the world. So it’s no wonder they want a “New Andalusia” (aka Golden Age in Cordoba). (Assuming it ever happened.) They can use the money.

    Children easily adapt-my aunts were put in kindergarten without knowing any English and They learned fast. This idea that NPR spouted is of a disturbing nature which Bat Ye’or mentions in the Euro-Arab Dialogue; a British Muslim in 2015 went on about it with me.

    It is not to assimilate but keep with their language, keep in regular contact (news, travel there) with their heritage countries, Islamic lessons in school and teaching Arabic, Urdu, etc. It is not like other immigrants. Home is where you are. A child can learn Urdu with his family-we don’t need to be teaching all these different languages. My grandparents didn’t get any such coddling and they did fine. NPR sounds like they are against assimilation and following the EU ideas…a Tower of Babel and bureaucratic nightmare and no sense of nationality which causes tribalism. Countries made official languages-all of them. NPR are sheep. I’m wondering where common sense ran off to.
