Jihad Watch

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

Video: Robert Spencer on 14 centuries of jihad and making the same mistakes over and over

Aug 9, 2018 8:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Earlier today I spoke to the Young America’s Foundation Reagan Ranch August Conference, discussing fourteen centuries of jihad warfare and the curious tendency of modern leaders to think that is all a thing of the past.

You can order my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS here.

I start speaking at about 8:41 of this video.

    ………………

    Grimly true. That’s why knowing this history is so crucial for us. Thank you, Mr. Spencer.

      Jack, we need methodically to PROVIDE a COPY OF HISTORY OF JIHAD to all leaders.

      I think there should be an organization that sends copies of it to all influential leaders who can make policy.

      Anybody want to get such an organization going?

    SAME JIHAD because SAME PLAYBOOK … unchanged since 632AD.

    The PLAYBOOK of Islam is the ISLAMIC TRILOGY … 1) Koran 2) Sira 3) hadiths.

    They are CODIFIED in the 1) canonical commentaries 2) Islamic history and 3) manuals of Sharia law.

    THERE HAS BEEN NO REFORMATION IN ISLAM, because it was FINALIZED in 1111AD with the CLOSING OF THE DOORS OF IJTIHAD … so no further development in Islam can be undertaken.

    The CONSENSUS of Islam cannot be ‘UPDATED’, so JIHAD is a PERMANENT feature of Islam

    JIHAD IN A NUCLEAR AGE MEANS AN INEVITABLE SHOWDOWN WITH ISLAM. When Muslim countries have 1,000 nuclear bombs, they WILL BEGIN WORLD WAR III.

    We must debunk and dismantle Islam before that occurs. Only Western spy agencies can do this work.

      Well I agree 100% with you as always Mortimer. One thing though about Islam unlike Judaism and Christianity, it is so controlling over the Muslims with the so called religion and a barbaric god, it literally impedes many of them to think seriously about the indoctrination they are constantly given. I read a pretty awful sermon but in French given by an imam who declared what happened to the believers and the non believers when they died and were in the grave !!! These imams frighten the sh*t out of them by telling them that there will be dark angels torturing their souls and their bodies, and those believers will receive « délices » in the grave. It is a fact that many orthodox muslim women believe that the parts of their bodies they expose here on earth will missing on Judgement Day when souls are reunited with their bodies. Utter crap. I am still waiting on the English translation of a book called Le Grand Secret de l’Islam which literally destroys the belief that the Quran was revealed orally by Muhammad. Recent research has also shown that there are even doubts he existed, at least in the way they say. Also Hela Ouardi a Tunisian historian who wrote a book about Muhammad’s last days, said that it seems the « prophet » was not buried immediately… took them three days to do so because they thought he’d rise from the dead like Jesus did. It’s only when his body was smelling from decomposition that they finally buried him.
      Anyway when the translation is ready (it’s FREE) I will post the link. It will be downloadable in PDF version and I hope you will distribute it all over. 😄

        Islam also makes it almost impossible for it’s adherents to LEAVE Islam without consequences.
        It has been said by high levels in Islam that if the apostasy law had been removed then Islam would have died long ago.

        Does anyone out there think, that by passing laws in the U.S. addressing the atrocious acts in islam,other than what’s already the books and processed by law enforcement, would it do any good???

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 10, 2018 at 10:54 pm

          Agreed, InfidelLover. We mostly just need to rigorously enforce the laws we do have.

    America learned everything it needed to know about Islam in its very first FOREIGN WAR with Tripolitana, the home of ISLAMIC PIRATE JIHADIST SLAVE SHIPS which worked under license from the OTTOMAN EMPIRE.

    Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams studied jihad and Islam to learn WHY Muslims ATTACKED THE DIRTY KUFAAR.

    Jefferson and Quincy, future United States presidents, questioned the ambassador from Tripolitana as to why his (Islamic) government was so hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to provoke any such animosity. Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to the Continental Congress, ‘that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise’.
    – Thomas Jefferson, quoted from letter “To the Continental Congress about the brutal pirate attacks of the Muslim Ottoman Barbary” (1801–1805 and 1815)

    John Quincy Adams on Mohammed: a fraudulent impostor who degraded life who “declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.”

    “In the seventh century, a wandering Arab combining the powers of transcendent genius with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic Law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.
    The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and goodwill towards men.”
    – John Quincy Adams (U.S. President)

    COMMENTS ABOUT ISLAM FROM JOHN QUINCY ADAMS:

    “The command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective…by fraud, or by force. – John Quincy Adams, US president (1830)

    In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle.
    – John Quincy Adams, 6th president of the United States

    He (Muhammad) poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature..
    – John Quincy Adams, 6th president of the United States

    “Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he [Mohammed] humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST.—TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE…. Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant … While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.” [The words in caps are as originally printed].
    – John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) Sixth President of the United States

    John Quincy Adams possessed a remarkably clear, uncompromised understanding of the permanent Islamic institutions of jihad war and dhimmitude. Regarding jihad, Adams states in his essay series,

    “…he [Muhammad] declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind…The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God.”

    And it will. Get your copy now and give one to a leader. I’ve got mine.

    What a clean, beautiful, group of young people! There were very few tattoos and metal. The questions were thoughtful and the audience was respectful; heads and shoulders above Stanford’s non-STEM students.

    Many of these young audience members will be future leaders and remember this presentation as guardians of their communities.

    Well done, with truth, Mr. Spencer!

    The powers that be know what they are doing, however Islam will lose. This has been the plan all along to flood Europe with crazy deluded fools who believe in a false prophet and mass killer. Mass Muslim immigration is not a European problem, it’s a Muslim country problem. Remember no Muslims are not allowed in Mecca so why should Muslims come to the west. Muslims are being used as they think this is the word of God to kill the unbelievers. Muslims will be slaughtered when the time comes unless they wake up and leave Islam. People don’t ever listen to the mainstream media as they are the problem. My advice as always is to stay away from Islam.

    • KWJ says

      Aug 14, 2018 at 1:49 pm

      No, it’s not Muslims who will be slaughtered. People should really read Bat Ye’or’s book “Europe, Globalization, And The Coming Universal Caliphate.” She is correct, cites all the OIC speeches at the UN, the Euro-Arab dialogue, and all the things the West is doing in education, propaganda, etc. The Euro-Arab dialogue has been going on for decades in Europe and came to infect the US and all of North America.

      They’re importing all these violent minded North Africans and mobs and single men let alone the jihadists which include all the Muslim organizations. We’ve seen all the rioting. How would they be slaughtered? That’s nonsensical. They are everywhere East and West. Nigel Farrage in England recently said, “You can’t win,” meaning non-Muslim British people.

      A phone call, so to speak, could set these migrants in motion-look at the videos of running hordes. Of course, part of it is to scare you into submission, no free speech, and the OIC’s obsession with stopping Islamophobia with criminalization of it. They already tried to get a universal blasphemy law at the UN.

      In an interview in Calais, France, a frightened woman in regards to that migrant camp said, “They come into our homes,” they jumped on trucks, a woman’s horse trailer, etc. In Germany in a small town several burst into a church. These small towns are at risk-some with
      a population of 300 with 100 migrants. Put it all together. How would they be slaughtered when governments can’t even stop jihadists and crime? The EU has created a powder keg. A couple of years ago in Harper’s magazine an article a Muslim man by the name of Kamel Daoudi, in France, and had been a 21 year old engineering student, who eventually associated with shady groups and ideals of jihad said several things: that Muslims even born in Europe were disaffected by France’s libertine ways and felt adrift and feeling like they have betrayed one’s values. “Backlash against Muslims would be the intent of the killings; this backlash would, in turn, provoke alienation and, eventually, an uprising of the Muslim masses.”

      He calls it “a genuine clash of civilizations,” while ex PM David Cameron says not to call it that.

      But how can we not backlash when we know the Muslims’ plans for domination and worldwide sharia law? What about Muslims demands for segregated gender public busses, child marriage, polygamy, their perpetually being offended, against free speech, teaching not to assimilate, preaching hate against non-Muslims and the West, teaching Islam in primary grades school, etc? Are we supposed to just be silent, intimidated and scares when they are pushing regressive values contrary to our own and totalitarian? Europe created this situation and from Australia to Canada they’ve latched onto this madness and betrayal of non-Muslim citizens.

      They don’t even deport enough of them. We cannot avoid this ugly situation-the saturation of violent immigrants with an ideology that benefits them, in other words, they take our stuff, out jobs, what WE built. This has already played out in smaller ways. Then there are 700 Muslims in the NYPD police force and many in security roles with guns, stockpiling weapons in some mosques, Muslim compounds I’ve seen on video, Muslims in our armies. So…unless we get more citizens and liberals to stop their smearing and get the picture, we may be rather f*cked.

      *The Haroer’s article is titled “Letters From A French Jihadi” January 2016 issue. It also has to other good articles about the US working with Al Qaeda and one on Louis Farrakhan.

    Those Muslims who are able to memorize original Arabic Qur’an while not understanding at all what does it mean, are reminding me of those opera singers (or movie actors) capable to learn their roles in languages they do not speak and/or frequently do not even understand.

      Well, maybe. Let me know the next time an opera singer wages violent Jihad against us, though.

    allah the linguistically-challenged god of islam.

    1.”Lo!WE have appointed the quran in Arabic that haply ye may understand”
    koran 43:3

    Unhaply ,many moslems in places like Indonesia don’t know Arabic,certainly not classical 7th century Arabic:how inconvenient of allah[or “WE” as he likes to call himself sometimes} to be limited to only ONE language{compare with the Biblical God who speaks ALL languages and has a Bible in every known language)

    2.”And in truth WE have made the quran easy to remember”
    koran 54:17

    So what?those who don’t know Arabic won’t understand it anyway..

    3.”lo!{The koran} is no pleasantry”
    koran 87:14

    Ya don’t say allah?

    4.”And above it are nineteen”
    koran 74:30

    Please DO explain:19 what ,allah?Unicorns?Infidels?Christmas trees?..19 what?

    “haply ye may understand”:really allah?”above it are nineteen”

    Every time I watch, listen or read Mr Spencer I am in total awe how knowledgeable this man is. His analysis, comments and critiques are truely briljant. No wonder islamists see him as the devil incarnate. Thank you so much for your relentless studies, speeches and total commitment to the cause of Freedom en Liberty. The very fact you are doing what you are doing is a daily comfort to me.

    over-and-over, and expecting different results”.
