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

Robert Spencer Video: University Lecturer Under Fire for Saying Muslims Commit Terror Attacks

Nov 4, 2018 1:55 pm By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss the case of Michael Blackburn, a lecturer at the UK’s Lincoln University. Blackburn has been accused of “Islamophobic” tweets — ones that identify Muslims as the perpetrators of jihad terror attacks — and the predictable controversy has ensued.

    What religious affiliation did the 911 terrorists have in common with Hezbollah, Hamas, ISIS and all the others who murdered innocents in Paris, Nice, and Orlando? The truth and facts no longer are important to countless peoples held under the satanic spell of political correctness, inclusion, LGBTQ, abortion, etc., etc.

      The reason why our politicians will not make the connection between terrorism and ‘muslims’is because they are afraid that ‘action’ would have to be taken against an identifiable group and that could never happen under ‘their watch’Much easier to kick the can down the road and leave it for the next generation to sort it out.We are led by spineless cowards.

      Who are the terrorist? Muslims!
      The same old saying fits….Most Muslims aren’t committing terrorism but most terrorism is committed by Muslims…I rest my case…Next case judge!

    I think it’s *very* encouraging that we’re hearing of quite a few people being excoriated by leftards and muslims for ‘islamophobia’. One, it’s gratifying to know that courage and truth telling isn’t entirely dead, and two, it’s good to know brave people are taking on these scumbags.

      Wag, THE DOCTRINE within Islam that destroys their BRAINS is called TAQLID … similar to GROUP-THINK.

      Taqlid is an Islamic doctrine that teaches Muslims to suppress critical thought at all costs. Taqlid means uncritical rote learning, unthinking memorization and unquestioning acceptance.

      -Sheikh Shaamee Hanafi said: “Taqleed is to take the statement of someone without knowing the evidence.”

        A synonym for this word might be “stupid”; another might be “gossip”. One certainly must be rather stupid to accept, without proof, the directions of an “expert” on any matter that may lead to personal stagnation when the original sources are available. It certainly contributes to keeping Muslims from reaching their potential as the Western world’s scientific progress leaves them behind on their “flat” earth.

    THE HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer will convince anyone that Michael Blackburn is correct.

    Islamic history is filled with almost CONTINUOUS ACTS OF JIHAD AND TERRORISM.

      I just finished the book …, “‘The history of Jihad,,,,,,,,” , An outstanding job by R, Spencer, in reviewing the history and chronology of events in the “dark” records of the Islamic, unending bellicosity and barbarian archives,
      No questions. about this people, sharing our lives in this planet, that they represent the greatest threat to our lifestyles, social and cultural achievements and freedom of beliefs (particularly, our religious, and spiritual backgrounds and affiliations), No wonder that books, like the Bible, Course in Miracles, Conversation with God, and many others are not allowed in Middle Eastern countries. And if found, they are rapidly destroyed. .it is amazing, the ignorance and indifference in our communities. being infiltrated, by this evil, in our world. Books like this, should be promoted , and even suggested for ;reading in oui Centers for training on christian and Divinity Studies

    Jihad Report for October, 2018

    Attacks 133
    Killed 752
    Injured 671
    Suicide Blasts 10
    Countries 18

    PHOBIA ? Or REALITY ?

    It’s far easier to act as if critics of Islam have a problem with Muslims as people …

    … than it is to accept the uncomfortable truth that

    … Islam has a teaching of JIHAD-WARFARE TARGETING NON-MUSLIMS.

      I’m not doubting your numbers, but you could you please provide a website reference?

      Thanks.

        I think this is from the Religion of Peace site, James:

        https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=Last30

        They also provide the counter of Jihad terror attacks on the right-hand side of the page here.

    “machete-wielding koran-quoting muslims”

    The Mawikqum

    That might be better than doing what the MSM does.

    They like to call islamic jihadist fanatics..”Asians”

    …because if you point out that moslem jihadists are moslems..that’s just being “islamophobic” and “racist”.

    Mawikqum:the infidel word for mujahideen or jihadist.

    I like the way Robert Spencer calls the mentality of the people who refuse to admit to the connection between Islam and terrorism “insane” towards the end of the speech he makes in this report. Robert always is reasonable and presents evidence but he doesn’t pull his punches either. I’ve read many times that there have been well over 30,000 Muslim terrorist attacks all around the world since the 911 attacks in 2001. The lies of the people who try to deny the connection between terrorism and Islam are so extreme, so egregious, as to be almost beyond belief.. I notice many news reports these days just say there was a terrorist attack or a thwarted terrorist attack. They don’t mention “MUslim”. I’m not sure whether they are trying to spread disinformation or merely think that they don’t even need to mention the word “Muslim” because it is so obvious to so many people that it is Muslims involved. I know whenever I read a report about a terrorist attack or attempted attack, I always think, oh, you mean a Muslim attack, unless it is specifically said to be a person from another religion, which it hardly ever is. Who the hell else will it be in 99% of cases but a Muslim? I’m glad to see the university stuck up for Blackburn’s right to freedom of speech.

        I think you’ve nailed it, Roger. It seems that it is all just too hard for most of our politicians. As you say, they are “spineless cowards”. Years ago, I used to think that, maybe, it was the fact that the Muslim countries have the oil we need to keep our economies running and therefore we couldn’t really take them on. I don’t know anymore, but this pathetic lying where the politicians and media won’t even make the obvious connection between Islam and terrorism ( spelt out so clearly in the Koran and in the actions of Muslims) is sickening.

        Nov 5, 2018 at 4:09 pm

        I’m sure you are right, Roger. It seems to all be just too hard for many of our politicians. As you say, they are cowards. This refusal to acknowledge the obvious connection between Islam and terrorism is pathetic. I think you’re right in saying that they are taking the easy path and leaving the problem for the next generation to deal with.

      • mortimer says

        Nov 5, 2018 at 5:20 pm

        Agree with roger. The ACTION that should be taken by governments is to develop PROTOCOLS of VERY HIGH ACADEMIC PRECISION to convince Muslims worldwide that ISLAM IS FABRICATED by the caliphs.

        The theory that CALIPHS and their DYNASTIC FAMILIES FABRICATED ISLAM has recently gained a CONSENSUS among SERIOUS ISLAMOLOGIST SCHOLARS.

        They virtually all see no other PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION for the DEVELOPMENT of Islam … ISLAM WAS CONCOCTED BY THE WARRING CALIPH DYNASTIES.

        • tim gallagher says

          Nov 5, 2018 at 8:20 pm

          You’re probably right, mortimer. You certainly have a great deal of knowledge about Islam so your idea about the caliph dynasties and Islam is probably correct.. There seem to be a few political leaders who will tell the truth about Islam’s evil nature and take some action ( the leaders of Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland, also maybe Trump) such as shutting the door on Muslim migration into their countries. The others do seem cowardly or just too lazy. As Roger said, it’s easier to kick the can down the road and leave future generations to try to solve the problem. It’s easier for them to take the line of least resistance and try to ignore the problem. It gives them a much easier life. Future generations will curse them for their cowardice (or laziness) in not facing up to the problems Islam brings.

    Tommy Robinson is a British Hero speaking the truth about Islam.
    President Trump has been conned by the Islam supporting Nigel Farage.
    President Trump and America need to learn the truth about how Islam is destroying the UK from Tommy Robinson.

    Once again the left proves that they live in an Opposite Day world. The truth and reality is a social construct and what everything really is must be something else. This is precisely why leftism is a mental disorder.
