Glenn Beck recently interviewed me; now for the first time the video of our conversation is available. Meanwhile, in this podcast, Beck discusses my being deplatformed and silenced, and talks about our interview, saying: “You can hear that whole interview. It’s fascinating, and I highly recommend it. In fact, I don’t even know if you can do this, but I’d burn it to DVD. I highly recommend that you listen to this guy, and make your own mind up. But do your own homework. Find out why you disagree with him. It will make you stronger either way.”
You can order The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS here.
Frank Anderson says
In my opinion if ever in recent history two people should work out any differences and make common cause, these two should. Both have much to offer for a better future.
mortimer says
This interview is a breakthrough into the mainstream media. Gradually, Robert Spencer will become the go-to guy for more and more television interviewers.
This invitation from GLENN BECK is the start of many more interviews.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, I have listened with care and respect to Beck since he first appeared on Fox. I have most of his Fox shows recorded on DVD. The day any of us demand perfection of people in order to be our friends and allies is the day we will walk alone until a long time in the future, by which time this war of conquest will be lost. Beck’s good outweighs any deficiencies; and as I have written here several times, I would not have known about Robert Spencer but for Beck. There are good things they can do to help all of us.
TJFreedomjihad says
Amen, Mortimer, Frank
Tim Gibson says
Beck sort of ruins his reputation. About the time you get over one blunder you get another. The time he started talking about how you know someone’s lying to you because you have the Holy Spirit in you. You have to realize if he’s dumb enough to swallow Mormonism , then how dumb is he?
Frank Anderson says
T.G., I would never qualify to be your friend or ally. I have some really unique ideas and attitudes. I have Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Unaffiliated and even Atheist friends. Some of them have some pretty novel ideas. But every one of them is an honest person who has no need to hide anything. If you would prefer to have muslim friends enslaving you and raping your family, male and female, to giving space to people having different ideas who oppose the ongoing efforts of conquest, you have that choice.
I cannot identify my affiliation because I don’t seem to have one at the moment. But I try to learn from all opportunities. The quote attributed to Jesus, “Judge not that ye be not likewise judged,” or “Judge by the same rules that you would be judged” ought to give you pause in your intolerance of others novel thinking. I wish you well and hopefully more tolerant thoughts.
Tim Gibson says
I don’t want anyone to ‘qualify’ to be my friend. I was simply stating a fact about Glenn Beck. You can be his friend regardless of what I say. By the way twisting Scripture to make your point won’t win arguments.
Frank Anderson says
Tim, the only way I see to win an argument with you is by moving on to someone else. You nave more in common with intolerant and judgmental muslims than you do me or the people I know. I hope you learn the error of your ways before it is too late to do good. You have my sympathy and best wishes.
Tim Gibson says
I already moved on.
mortimer says
Glenn Beck is a true intellectual and a man of integrity who uses fact-based reasoning, rather than emotional logic as the Leftards do …(‘If I FEEL it is true, then it is true.’)
Glenn Beck obviously is pursuing ‘the good life’ … a consistent, truly moral life.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, I have 2 Mormon Brothers by Choice, and a Mormon Son by Choice who will serve as my Durable Power of Attorney to turn off my life support when the time comes. Describing them always starts with many good words and few critical ones. And that’s just the Mormons. The rest of my friends are right there as friends as we all need them. I would not survive the heavy duty challenges without the company of good friends, who are in my opinion one of God’s Gifts.
It’s been a while since I told this true story. We were in a first year law school class concerning Torts. Since I had done many dangerous things involving dangerous people before law school, and was paying my own way, I was the only person in the class who would call on the professor with questions before he called on me. Not only would he not call on me, he would not call anyone within 3 chairs of me to limit my questions. In 3 years of law school he was at or near the top of my favorite professor list, who taught me well for the bar exams and later practice.
We were discussing the Tort of Nuisance. He started with one of his truly brilliant introductions. He could convey more with a 5 minute lecture than some professors could teach in 90 minutes. “The Tort of Nuisance should be a rarely used action because that is just the price we pay for living in a modern, progressive, technological society.” “Professor, does that apply in Mississippi?” “Yes, I’m pretty sure it does. Could you be more specific?” “Does that apply in Pascagoula, Mississippi, about 2 miles north of Ingalls West Bank Shipyard?” “Yes I’m sure it does. What do you have reference to?” “Then how come the people of Mississippi and the United States Government spent over 5 million dollars and delayed a vital link of the Interstate highway system over 4 years to protect 50 stupid birds from the impact of the modern, progressive, technological society?” “Well, it must be an endangered species.” And he went on with his teaching.
The next class he started with another truly excellent introduction which he concluded, “And if we need to know about any birds we can always call on Mr. Anderson.” Invitation offered. Invitation accepted. I raised my hand. He nodded in my direction. I stood, as was customary in class for reciting. “Professor, you didn’t let me make my point las time.” “Make it. Make it. For God’s Sake Make it.” “Isn’t it true that every human being is a unique individual, with identifiable characteristics and traits different from all other human beings, making each of us a species of one, and therefore an endangered species, deserving of protection from the impact of the modern, progressive, technological society?” “Sure, Sure, and let me say this Mr. Anderson stands as the outstanding witness I have ever seen of the uniqueness of the individual, And of course Mr. Anderson you understand how I mean that don’t you.” To which I responded with his trademark, “Sure, Sure.” The class exploded with laughter. And that was over 40 years ago.
In defiance of the totalitarian view of individuals as identical bricks, one of which is no more useful or important than another, I think we are unique creations of God who want us to use all our minds and bodies to live a joyous and productive life free of any form of slavery. We have room to be different while pursuing the same goal.
Indiana Tom says
I have a cousin who joined the Mormons and it is just a plain non=Christian cult. Mormonism masquerades as Christianity.
Frank Anderson says
I.T. I have no foundation to argue your opinion. But my Mormon friends are honorable and priceless to me. I regret the poor impression that you have and hope it will get better.
Some days ago I think you suggested A Simple Koran. I have purchased and read An Abridged Koran by the same author/editor and found it to be outstanding. Thank you for your suggestion. I plan to continue with his Trilogy which he says is better focused by organization and reduction of repeated elements. His style is extremely pleasant and readable.
Down Under Observer says
Great viewing. Onwards and upwards, Robert.
Renate says
It’s fairly clear that Robert Spencer is an Islamic scholar who is just telling the truth about Islam. People should listen.
gravenimage says
Good stuff.
mortimer says
Master Card is a DHIMMI company with a large Muslim ownership. Master Card should not get into the SHARIA CENSORSHIP BUSINESS.
Master Card … STOP CENSORING criticism of Islam. There is much in Islam that SHOULD BE criticized.
J D S says
Just destroyed my master card…
Frank Anderson says
JDS, closing that account could be a big mistake and take away important options in the future. If you have not already, please think about it. I am not blowing smoke and I do not work for MC.

mortimer says
Islam is a genocidal system of world conquest.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer,
SARC/ON “But it is a “religion” immune from prosecution for being a criminal conspiracy to destroy the Constitution and kill everybody who does not ‘convert or submit to humiliation’.” Sarc/off
A criminal conspiracy is 1) an agreement of 2 or more people; 2) for an unlawful purpose or to use unlawful means for a lawful purpose 3) ANY overt act by ANY of its members in furtherance of its goals.
Last time I read murder, treason and breach of fiduciary duty were unlawful. Last time I read suicide is deciding to end one’s own life. Murder is deciding to end another’s life absent “justification, mitigation or excuse.”
In An Abridged Koran the author/editor notes that approximately 225 passages were abrogated (overridden, superceded, replaced) by later passages in the “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” words. It seems they were not final, perfect, complete or unchangeable. Somebody did not know everything when writing the first passages and changed his mind for later statements. So much for All Knowing.
So why the gymnastics to ignore the truth and wander around in a fog of denial and indecision? In another story today, an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, 17 human beings were murdered in Nigeria, with the army present and allowing it to happen.
So much for “Have a Nice Day!”
mortimer says
Frank, the answer to your question ‘why the gymnastics’ is contained at 3/4 through the interview by Robert Spencer (and later at 1.07) Quote: “We are seeing the biggest and most expensive public relations campaign in history … to portray Muslims as victims who deserve special rights.”
Islamic texts are 51% about POLITICS. Most of the text concerns the life of Mohammed and only about 18% of the source texts concern Allah.
The religious part of Islam is UNDERREPRESENTED in the source texts, IF we assume it is actually a religion. There should be MORE about religion and LESS about politics.
The RELIGION OF ISLAM came about AFTER the creation of the POLITICAL CALIPHATE. Listen to the interview at 1:00.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, Why is this campaign of lies working? I suggest at least part of the reason is the unwillingness or inability to confront the lies directly. You can spend all the money in the world telling me that night is day and evil is good; But when I get up and see that Day is Day, and Evil is Evil, your continued PR campaign is a loser. Look at the NFL where multimillionaires who could not get or keep a real productive job are running a patriotic audience away with their insults. Islam is not some harmless cult. It is and has been AT LEAST a criminal organization its entire existence to kill, enslave and plunder. All the handwringing I read here about whether it is a religion or not wears me out and does nothing more than confuse and waste the time of people who are trying to learn. How many more MILLIONS of people will be murdered?
J D S says
Our constitution CAN/SHOULD be amended to take away any and all religious freedom to any….group, sect, bunch, religious organizations, religions etc. That promotes such atrocious acts as does Islam but there are no elected officials who would be willing to take on this.
Frank Anderson says
JDS My Opinion, The Constitution is incredibly difficult to amend by the original plan of the people who wrote it. There is no reasonable chance that it will be changed. Waiting for such a change is a waste and useless delay in taking ample corrective legal action that is possible NOW under EXISTING law.
The law is quite clear. I have been researching and litigating that law since 1982 and have been told by one of my professors, who was at various times an FBI agent, a state court judge and a US Attorney, that I have written good analysis of these issues. The problem is to find both a US Attorney and an Attorney General who will authorize and conduct a prosecution.
Until then the only other lawful opportunity is to intervene in actions like the one where muslim groups sue the US government for its law enforcement efforts to assure the active and ongoing criminal plan of islam is clearly stated.

mortimer says
Many COUNTERJIHAD WRITERS (Bat Ye’or, Robert Spencer, Bill Warner, Ibn Warraq, Sam Shamoun, David Wood) have laid the foundation of the Counterjihad, just like the great writers of Russia (Vladimir Bukovsky, Alexander Ginzburg, Yuli Daniel, Tatyana Velikanova, Alexander Podrabinek, Boris Kagarlitsky and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn) laid the foundation for the collapse of the Soviet Union. A period of discussion and writing 40-years-long led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The same thing is happening with Islam. In an UNPRECEDENTED WAY, Muslims are reading heretical literature and TURNING AWAY from Islam in large numbers. From 9-11-2001 until 2040, we will see the development of the FINAL COLLAPSE of Islamic belief. We are half-way through this period. The next half of this period of RESISTANCE TO ISLAM will DECISIVELY DESTROY ISLAMIC BELIEF as the information documented by ROBERT SPENCER and others seeps into the minds of the WEST and Muslims. The collapse of Islam will appear to be SUDDEN, just like the collapse of the USSR.
Bosch Fawstin says
Whatever criticisms I may have of some of the hosts who’ve interviewed Robert on his new book, I give each of them credit for having Robert on. It’s so important that the truth about Islam and Jihad gets out in every way possible, and these hosts rise in my estimation by simply giving Robert a platform for telling the truth about the threat we face. It’s so important that what he says is heard by as many people as possible.
mortimer says
Thanks Mr. Fawstin, for commenting. I think more interviewers will invite Robert Spencer, because the truth is getting out and ordinary people are turning away from the globalist/neo-Marxist narrative.
More than anyone, you know what Robert Spencer said to be true. At the end of the interview, he points out ‘(the persecution of writers and thinkers) is WORSE THAN MCCARTHYISM … at least they could work. I (Spencer) could not be hired to do anything else besides what I do now.”
Thanks for all you do to defend our freedom!
J D S says
Robert just needs to be invited to speak at a combined session of the House and Senate..well maybe just read his new book yo them…..but would they really listen and understand?
Of course that could never happen they just don’t want to know.
gravenimage says
Hear, hear, Bosch!
eduardo odraude says
I had the same thought, Bosch, that the interviewers of Spencer go up in my estimation. I’ll cut Beck more slack now.
Also, I recently received your My Mohammad Cartoons, Vol. 1. Beautiful, devastating, witty drawings.
I urge people to order all Bosch’s work. The least we can do to support this courageous cartoonist who has sacrificed a great deal. Here’s the book of Mohammad cartoons:

Eduardo, I just received Bosch Fawstin’s book of Mohammad cartoons. I would highly recommend it–along with “The Infidel”–to everyone here.
eduardo odraude says
Great to see that high quality video.
Georg says
Excellent interview. A relief to see the uncomfortable truth’s name stated: what leftism and Islam share in common is an antipathy for the West; it doesn’t matter whether one likes that, does not, or if it is convenient for one’s argument or not–it is true all the same.
James Besuden says
Deplatformed? I hope you are aware of Gab. It’s uncensored free speech and works like Facebook and Twitter.

True freedom of speech.
Walter Sieruk says
On the topic of the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, as well as the subject of Islamic terrorism, the scholar and author , Robert Spencer ,in this book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS. In the book on page 371 the reader is informed that “Muhammad is supposed to have said ‘I have been made victorious through terror.’ In the early twenty-first century, he is being proven correct. As the fourteen-hundred –year Islamic jihad against the free world continues to advance…”
Furthermore, those jihadists /Muslims with their insidious Islamic scheming for the Islamic, subtle and not so subtle, conquest of Europe by every possible means, including the stealth and violent jihad which is, indeed, awful.
As explained by William Wagner in his book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD .Which informs the reader n page 195 “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategist who are seeking world dominance.”
Therefore, the Europeans would be wise to be on guard.
Michael Copeland says
When Theresa May blocked Robert Spencer from the UK she could not even quote the law properly. He had made, she wrote, “statements that may foster hatred”.
The law does not say “MAY” foster – an everlastingly extendable category. It says “statements which foster hatred”.
Frank Anderson says
M.C. you have noticed an interesting point. I am not trying to give legal advice to anyone. If May wanted to prohibit me from entering on an invalid statement of law, AND if I both felt I should, and could afford to fight, I could see at least 2 opportunities. Fight there; or fight here.
Making a dangerous assumption that both Common Law systems are close enough, and a UK lawyer would handle any activity in the UK, whatever corresponds to a declaratory judgment action seeking injunctive relief in the UK would be a starting point. The argument starts with May incorrectly stated the law abusing the civil rights of Robert Spencer, including the human right to free travel under the UN Charter (Treaty of London 1945). By doing so May could be exposed to a charge of “crime against humanity” which could possibly be heard in the United States. I can see where such a case would be settled quickly to avoid the totally justified embarrassment of her unlawful order.
Sooner or later corrupt officials are going to have to start facing the music for their corruption. As long as we sit around wringing our hands, “What to do? What to do? What to do?” The stronger “they” get and the weaker “we” get. Another JW, Judicial Watch, raises enough money to be a real pain to corrupt politicians in the US. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Please consult a currently licensed attorney in your jurisdiction for any legal advice.

Glen Beck is a flake. Read his book Control and while he defends 2A, he attacks 1A. he is not all that pro 2A either.

Manny says
That was outstanding. I very rarely listen to something like this for over an hour. I listened to the entire interview. Islam must be exposed. We need to get this message out.
The Awful Truth says
Liked it a lot. I’d like more clarification on 1. Sunni Shia split 2. Archaeological evidence for Muhahahamad in KSA that they’ve destroyed including his burial mosque, how does this tally with “no internal evidence” for him?
