Jihad Watch

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

Audio: Robert Spencer on the Dennis Prager Show on The History of Jihad

Aug 10, 2018 4:19 pm By Robert Spencer

Yesterday Dennis Prager and I had a wide-ranging and absorbing hour-long discussion on my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS and related issues. It starts on this audio file at 1:07:51.

You can order the book here — if you haven’t already, order it soon, as the demand is much higher than anticipated, and they’re selling out quickly!

    Dennis Prager is one of the few scholars who have a good understanding of the totalitarian motive and agenda of Islam and its consequent militancy.

    The History of Jihad by Robert Spencer will be a bestseller and world-changer.

    Prager points out that Islam is a religion of war. It is.

    Tina Magaard, a Danish researcher, concluded that Islam is the most warlike religion. After three years analyzing the original texts of ten different religions, Tina Magaard concluded that the Islamic texts stand out by encouraging terror and violence to a larger degree than other religions do. She stated that ‘Islamic texts encourage terror and fighting to a far larger degree than the original texts of other religions. The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree.’

    Prager also points out that the numbers of Hindus killed by jihad terror stunned him. The actual number of souls killed by jihad is determined by comparing population between the centuries. With natural childbirth, there would have been 80 million more.

      Too bad that ABC, CBS NBC, CNN and all the other MSM outlets aren’t reviewing Roberts new book on the air …with favourable critique of course..That’s not gonna happen is it?

      • mortimer says

        JDS, the LAMESTREAM will find THE HISTORY OF JIHAD a difficult book to ignore as its influence is FELT IN GOVERNMENT … and it will be influential. They will be unable to refute anything without drawing attention to their own CRAFTY FALSEHOODS and DUPERY.

        The History of JIhad will change minds and thus change policy.

    The ‘meaning’ of Islam – the what of Islam – is that Allah sent Mohammed to announce the mission of Mohammed and his followers to take over the world in the name of monotheism, and more specifically, Allah. The ‘motive’ of Islam – the why of Islam – is hatred and destruction of Kafirs – anyone who does not worship as Allah demands to be worshipped. The ‘method’ of Islam – the how of Islam – is Jihad and Hegira (in English, Struggle and Migration). The end of Islam is to make the Quraysh tribe the rulers of the earth who will administer totalitarian, discriminatory, oppressive Sharia law.

    Many Western politicians are already acting like DHIMMIS before the conquest of them by Muslims. They are submitting to Sharia without knowing that is what they are doing. They are clueless.

    Dennis Prager asked if Islam can be modernize or reformed. The reason it cannot is because inventing a new version of Islam is called ‘bida’ and such new doctrines are unbelief or ‘kufr’.

    The exact sin of bida or kufr spoken of is described here:

    Kufrul-Istibdaal: Disbelief because of trying to substitute Allaah’s Laws. This could take the form of:

    (a) Rejection of Allaah’s law (Sharee’ah) without denying it

    (b) Denial of Allaah’s law and therefore rejecting it, or

    (c) Substituting Allaah’s laws with man-made laws. Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala says: Or have they partners with Allaah who have instituted for them a religion which Allaah has not allowed. [Soorah Shuraa(42), Ayah 8] Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala says: Say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely (that) is lawful and this is forbidden so as to invent a lie against Allaah. Verily, those who invent a lie against Allaah will never prosper. [Soorah Nahl (16), Ayah 116]

    I am waiting for my check in tomorrow’s mail. Soon as I get it, I am buying the book! I’ve been dying for this thing since I first heard about it.

    At the podcast’s end, Zia from Afghanistan gave the usual–uninformed–rewrite of Islam’s texts and its history (his personal Islam, if you will).

    So typical.

  7. Terry Gain says

    Aug 11, 2018 at 5:58 am

    Good interview but it’s unfortunate (and annoying) that the interview ends without a debate between the devout Muslim named Zia ( who seems like a nice but uninformed man) and Robert Spencer. Based on Zia’s initial statement, such a debate would have shown that the Muslim doesn’t know either Islamic doctrine or history.

    It’s annoying that a debate wasn’t recorded for future broadcast.

  8. granddaddy says

    Aug 11, 2018 at 8:28 am

    Good interview, but too short. I wanted to hear what this Muslim Zia had to say to Robert Spencer’s facts. He seemed to be either misinformed or deliberately lying.

  9. J D S says

    Why would ABC, CBS,NBC, CNN and all other MSN Outlets not want to critique, in a favorable way, Roberts new book?

    • mortimer says

      Aug 11, 2018 at 10:06 am

      Agree, the globalist media will LOOK at HISTORY OF JIHAD and try to find an ANGLE with which to criticize it, but when they FAIL to do so, they will decide to ignore it, because drawing attention to the HISTORY OF JIHAD will totally destroy their CREDIBILITY.

      “THE HISTORY OF JIHAD” by Robert Spencer will DEMOLISH completely the globalist DISINFORMATION promoted by the LAMESTREAM globalists who are actually pseudo-Marxists.

    Experts on Islam like the renowned scholar Robert Spencer are extremely valuable.

    However, the narrative not all Muslims are terrorist removes any inclination of violence.

    and, when given the opportunity to dis-spell the notion Islam can be reformed Mr. Spencer lowers the guard against this ideology by implying yes it can be reformed.

    Hopefully, Mr. Spencer can see things from the eyes of innocent children just before being beheaded by Muslim.

    That is the perspective of those that live among Muslim.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 11, 2018 at 9:34 pm

      Robert Spencer has never said that Islam is apt to be reformed.

    • Carol the 1st says

      Aug 11, 2018 at 9:45 pm

      Robert Spencer (in last six minutes) makes it clear that Islam is not at all amenable to change and he cannot see it (but adds that history has sometimes had its surprises). He’s already pointed out that totalitarian domination under SHARIA is the goal (all people being ‘muslim’ is supposedly taken care of in the final wash). He also swats away Zia’s delusions with facts: the slaughter of three Jewish tribes. What more do you want from the man?

      Mean while in my mid-sized Cdn. city I’m told (in disapproving tones by a haughty old bag of a clerk that can’t even spell J I H A D) that the book is NOT on order by Chapters or Coles). A private bookseller has now ordered one on my behalf. Looks like Canada largely plans to ignore rumours of an unsettling new book.

      dannyboy9,

      I don’t think you fully heard Robert Spencer. Here’s how I understand his view, based on what I’ve heard him say over the years. He thinks it would be foolish to act as though Islam has any realistic chance to reform. He thinks that for various reasons the likelihood of Islamic reform is close to zero. He knows that close to zero is not the same as zero but thinks that is not relevant for practical action about Islam. He does not want to say reform of Islam is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE, just as he would not say it’s absolutely impossible that pigs might fly tomorrow. But he would still say that a hunter who spends any time looking in the sky for flying pigs to shoot is a fool. Likewise, he thinks no one should make policies that treat Islam’s reform as a realistic possibility. The possibility is so tiny, that it should be irrelevant for people seeking practically to counter Islam.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Aug 12, 2018 at 1:11 am

        All that said, he does urge reforms in the West. He advises that Muslim leaders and clerics need to start teaching Muslims to reject the violent and totalitarian aspects or interpretations of Islam’s core texts.
