My latest in the Geller Report:
Fascist “journalist” Claire Goforth gave her Daily Dot story an ominous title: “The Hatebook: Inside Facebook’s thriving subculture of racism.” What racism did she mean? The usual assortment of white supremacist losers, plus opponents of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others.
Goforth relied heavily on the Leftist smear machine the Southern Poverty Law Center for her spurious analysis, although she did make a grudging admission: “The SPLC does have critics, among them many individuals affiliated with hate groups on this list, who question its methodology, politics, and motives. Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes has filed a defamation suit against the SPLC for labeling his pro-Trump club for ‘Western chauvinists’ a hate group. Nevertheless, generally speaking, the nearly 50-year-old nonprofit is considered among the foremost authorities on hate in America.”
Yeah, sure it is. And, Goforth claims, it’s even worse:
But it’s not just that these hate groups have an oversized presence. It’s how few clicks away truly horrendous beliefs are….
Hate groups have long been using the internet to find like-minded individuals and coerce others into adopting their views. Social media sites put them all in the same place, making it far easier to find and indoctrinate a person like Fields Jr., who murdered a woman at the Unite the Right rally and posted approvingly of Nazism on his Facebook page; or Dylann Roof, who spent countless hours on a racist website before murdering Black churchgoers in South Carolina; or Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer who cited Robert Spencer dozens of times in his manifesto.
Spencer, who was banned from the United Kingdom in 2013 for extremism, is the founder of the SPLC designated hate group Jihad Watch; its Facebook page has 84,000 Likes.
A testimony to the power of shadowbanning.
Visitors to the Jihad Watch blog are asked to “help spread the truth about jihad” by “exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts.” Stories on the prolific site are largely about Muslims committing crimes, recruiting for terrorist groups, people becoming criminal and violent after converting to Islam, and the like.
A recent story claims, “Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder.”…
Goforth goes forth at length about how white supremacists and other baddies proliferate on Facebook, and must be silenced at all costs. She stuck Jihad Watch right in the middle of her lineup of evildoers, despite not being able to produce a single “white supremacist” or “racist” or “bigoted” or “hateful” quote from me or any other Jihad Watch writer. She brings up madman Anders Breivik in a particular defamatory fashion, calling him “the Norwegian mass murderer who cited Robert Spencer dozens of times in his manifesto,” thereby giving the impression that I was calling for mass murder or approved of Breivik. She doesn’t bother, of course, to point out that Breivik criticized me in his “manifesto” for not calling for violence, and that if violence is committed ostensibly because of some idea, it doesn’t discredit the idea itself, or else the socialism she likely endorses would be amply discredited on that basis alone.
Other than that, this is just more SPLC, with only cursory and incomplete notice of the fact that the SPLC has been thoroughly unmasked and discredited as a far-Left hate group bent on destroying all dissidents. Even the Washington Post has noticed. Goforth also employs a common tactic among Leftist “journalists”: present something that is perfectly true and innocuous as if it were egregious and hateful on its face, without explaining why. The convert story she cites from Jihad Watch is particularly grisly, with the convert explaining how he wants to kill and behead people, but Goforth apparently thinks its worse that I noticed, or that I know that the convert’s new holy book tells him: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4).
There has been a two-decade effort on the Left to fool Americans and Europeans into thinking it “hateful” and “bigoted” to oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others. Goforth is yet another Left-fascist bent on emulating the Nazi Brownshirts by defaming and crushing all those who dissent from the Leftist agenda. And she may well succeed in getting me banned from Facebook, which has made its Sharia-compliance abundantly clear. Facebook’s Vice President Joel Kaplan traveled to Pakistan in July 2017 to assure the Pakistani government that it would remove “anti-Islam” material, and they’ve been following through. But Goforth may one day regret her role in all this, when she discovers that her new friends she has enabled and aided so assiduously don’t respect and revere her as much as she does them.
Or Else! says
The millions of innocent people subjugated, tortured, abused, enslaved, and butchered at the hands of aggressive, prescriptive Islam mean nothing to these people. Just the MENTION of them brings out calls of racism.
Unbelievable.

Question for Goforth … “HOW IS THE CRITIQUE OF A POLITICAL IDEOLOGY (e.g. communism) RACIST?”
Answer: criticizing a political ideology is political science.
Islam is primarily a political ideology of world conquest according to Mohammed. Mohammed never said that his followers were ‘a race’.
mortimer says
Claire Goforth repeats accusations without providing the smallest evidence. This is called SLANDER.
The Munich Post reported on Hitler’s bloodthirsty speeches and condemned them just as Robert Spencer is condemning the bloodthirsty, genocidal fascists of Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda, ISIS and a hundred other Islamic terror groups.
Claire Goforth would have been against the Munich Post in 1930.
gravenimage says
I imagine she would have been, Mortimer.
In fact, anti-Fascists were often slandered for daring to expose the ugliness of the Nazis, while many papers and magazines were lauding Hitler and Mussolini for being “modern”.
The more things change…

James Lincoln says
“Spencer, who was banned from the United Kingdom in 2013 for extremism…”
“Extremism” as defined by the left: Speaking the truth about Islam.
mortimer says
Agree: Spencer was not excluded for being ‘an extremist’. The UK government found NOT ONE COMMENT in all of his voluminous writings that was ‘EXTREME’. The UK Home Office banned him solely for POLITICAL REASONS … namely, to satisfy various Muslim groups in England that did not wish to have their jihadist connections and ideology revealed by Spencer.
The Home Office quoted NO COMMENT OF SPENCER with which it disagreed.
gravenimage says
In fact, Britain was scared about “extremism” from Muslims, not from the civilized Mr. Spencer.
mortimer says
Exactly, GI. They were afraid of JIHAD ATTACKS in REVENGE for the presence of Spencer. They MAY HAVE been afraid of LOST BUSINESS CONTRACTS with Arabs as well such as ARMS SALES to Arabian dictators who will use the arms to suppress their unarmed people and jail them without trials!
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer.
CRUSADER says
Shameful of UK as a place where Americans have gotten many of their notions of Civil Liberties from….to do this to the honorable scholar. Not the least is Freedom of Speech.
Parts of London, since being governed by a Muslim as mayor, have really resembled Islamic partitions.
David Grisez says
We live in a time when there is a battle for the truth. There are a number of people that are exposing the truth about the ideology of Islam. There are words being used to attempt so shut down truthful, accurate discussion about Islam and Islamic Jihad, one of the most common words is “Islamophobia” now another word is “Racist”. It is more important than ever that the truth about the ideology of Islam get out so that the spread of this dangerous ideology is restrained. It is obvious it is dangerous, just look at how much terrorist activity is committed in the name of Islam.

MESSAGE TO Claire Goforth …
JIHADISM is the ideology that states Islamic supremacist ‘struggle’ is the most important activity in the life of Muslims.
JIHADISM is like a serious illness: it has an onset phase, then an in-between phase and finally, an aggressive phase. Once the illness reaches an AGGRESSIVE phase, an illness can no longer be treated with medications … surgery is required.
Western countries are still experiencing the onset of JIHADISM. The only treatment we should use is OUR WORDS against this vicious, lethal ideology. These are the ‘medications’ that we are trying to use to stop JIHADISM.
Claire Goforth does not want us to treat JIHADISM, but let it develop fully to the AGGRESSIVE phase when words will be replaced with aggressive surgery.
Such ‘surgery’ was just used against JIHADISM in Syria. It is better to fight jihadism with WORDS when it is small than fight it with HUMAN LIVES when jihadism reaches its AGGRESSIVE PHASE.
Join us, Goforth. JIHADISM will target you as well.

I guess she missed the article about the two Scandinavian girls who were slaughtered in Morocco. Algeria? I get them all mixed up.

That was Morocco–which many foolish Infidels consider to be a safe Muslim country.

Vesterager Jespersen and Maren Ueland thought that Islam was a peaceful religion. They were wrong. Dead wrong.

Robert Spencer: Claire Goforth of the “Daily Dot” Tries to Shut Down Opposition to Jihad Terror
……………………..
Repulsive. How is opposing Jihad terror “hate”? Is Goforth *for* throwing gay people off buildings and stoning women to death? This is a total inversion of the moral universe.
More:
But Goforth may one day regret her role in all this, when she discovers that her new friends she has enabled and aided so assiduously don’t respect and revere her as much as she does them.
……………………..
Grimly true. Muslims have *not* treated their useful idiots well. Just look at the fate of members of the Iranian Communist Tudeh Party, who supported the Islamic revolution there before the Mullahs turned on them and savagely liquidated its members once they had secured power.
I’m sure the clueless Goforth has no idea.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Hypocrites must have an idea of the objective truth, in order to be able to so perfectly oppose it! They simply place them selves above and beyond all others, asserting that true objective morality is beneath them!
David M says
I say drop her on the streets alone in Malmo Sweden at 10:00 pm one night to sample the multiculturalism up close & personal she so dearly loves.
mortimer says
Maybe Goforth would like a trip to Morocco like the late Swedish tourists Louisa Vesterager Jespersen and Maren Ueland who were killed by jihadists on 17 December 2018.
They were not ‘ISLAMOPHOBIC’, but trying to prove that Islam is a peaceful religion.
Vesterager Jespersen and Maren Ueland FAILED to prove Islam is a peaceful religion.
What say you, Goforth?
Lydia Church says
SPLC is the hate group!
Jihad watch is a hero of the civilized world!
It is interesting too that, regardless of having a constitution, if one has to live in fear of migrants, if they get raped for dressing ‘western’ so they conform to sharia, if they get arrested for speaking the truth on social media, if their freedom of speech gets censored and banned, if they lose their jobs for standing up for democratic values and opposing tyranny and sharia and terrorism, they get arrested for sharing the gospel in public, and all that sort of thing, then it isn’t much of a democracy anyway and Orwell’s tyranny has already arrived. The only way to fight it is to refuse to comply no matter what.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Goforth should sin no more!
gravenimage says
Very witty!
Fritz says
Honestly, nobody really takes these “publications” serious. Be it the Daily Dot, Vice, The Mary Sue etc.
They’re worthless, they’re useless, biased and fake news to the core – and only fools read them.
The only sad thing about these “publications” is that most people are not Hulk Hogan (enough) to sue them into oblivion.
