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

Video: Robert Spencer Gives Three Lessons From Islamic History for Today’s Policymakers

Sep 19, 2018 4:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Robert Spencer from DHFC on Vimeo.

If these lessons were heeded, we would avoid numerous foreign and domestic policy mistakes.

On September 13, 2018, I spoke at the Freedom Center’s Wednesday Morning Club in Los Angeles. Introducing my new and bestselling book, The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I discussed three lessons from Islamic history that are unknown in the West today, and are often outright denied by those Leftists who are rewriting history in service of contemporary political agendas. I show how these lessons, if heeded, have massive implications for American foreign and domestic policy.

      Bait-and-switch is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

      There are SIX DIFFERENT WAYS of deception that are permissible in Islam: 1) taqiyya, 2) kitman, 3) tawriya, 4) taysir, 5) darura, 6) muruna

      •Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
      •Kitman: deceit by omission.
      •Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
      •Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
      •Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
      •Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear “moderate.”

    I thought, do I really have time for a 56 min video? I’ve seen so many. But I found this one very good from the introduction to the thoughtful questions at the end. This video has some real gems. One the reason a school in Minnesota had the name it did another is the meaning of the words written in Arabic on a mosque in California. Three simple lessons that we all should take to heart. Lesson 2 starts around min 19 and lesson 3 around min 26. But hear it out to the end. It won’t disappoint. Every year I have sent a letter to my sons on 9/11. This year I did not. I will send them this video instead. Thank you Robert. Keep it up.

    The genius of Muhammad is the veiling of ultimate goal and destruction through murder of opposition.
    Looking down as a god, I would wager Islam shall prevail upon earth and a false prophet indeed has worked the secular miracle of shadowing the hearts and minds of a people with an absolute conviction that within this Arabic pagan filth, drive!and pantomime is truth and happiness.
    Who else but spiritless, unholy fools can eat and digest murder, lies, deceit, persecutions, wars,, beheadings, whippings, stonings,, mutilations, polygamy, child abuse and hatred of all outside this fold, and still expect to defecate sweet smelling holy offerings the unbelievers will happily tolerate and praise.

      Very powerfully written, and quite true.

      I still can not fathom the overtly backwards nature of Islam: establishing a false prophet’s idol (imitation of his pattern of conduct) ensnaring the minds of so many, appealing to such grotesque and base desires often rooted in sexual depravity. Thou they claim with their mouths Moses to be a prophet, their illiterate idol man obviously had no comprehension of even the first few chapters of Genesis which deal with denoting the sexual force as a force which can be utilized in two different ways: for good or for evil, linking management of sexual energy to conduct. Muhammad was notoriously taken by women and took women, having absolutely no control over himself so far as to provide ‘revelations’ which teared down barriers preventing him from satisfying his lust.

      This is the self-same general quality of all wicked people: sexual degeneration leading to profound disregard for the well-being of others finding. Such a degeneracy finds expression in various (evil) forms such as rape and pedophilia which appear to be prevalent in all of these idolatrous cults (Muhammadanism).

      Islam is pure idol worship – they protect their idol with and by the sword which is the most telling of all ways to identify idol worship. This is precisely why Moses forbid idols, as they can be adopted/absorbed and subsequently worshiped (revered) through ‘holy books’ (graven image) and cults (Islam) which require a (false) testimony in order to join. These testimonies are, of course, false and speaks to the general illiteracy and hypocrisy of Muhammadans while simultaneously amplifying the most widely-known characteristic of Muhammad: he was illiterate.

    Great speech, I’ll buy the book soon.

    Does anyone know where I can read the story about Aisha and the Camel?

    Robert is now providing solutions. rather than making people understand the problems.

    One solution in this video is to pick your allies. Pakistan and Turkey are not our allies.

    Another stop spending money on “Palestinians”
