The honor is all mine. Mark Tapson reviews my book Confessions of an Islamophobe at FrontPage: [To order Robert Spencer’s “Confessions of an Islamophobe,” CLICK HERE.] With the possible exception of freedom fighter and European political party leader Geert Wilders, there is arguably no critic of Islam more despised and feared by the Religion of […]
Robert Spencer: “Everyone who is concerned with human rights and free society should be an Islamophobe”
“The word ‘Islamophobe’ is used to label two quite distinct phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror, plus opposition to that terror and Sharia oppression. If the latter is to be labeled Islamophobia, as it is in an attempt to discredit it […]
Geert Wilders on Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “A truly historic book by a hero of our times”
Here is Geert Wilders on my new book, Confessions of an Islamophobe: “Again a truly historic book by truth-teller Robert Spencer, hero of our times and one of the bravest defenders of liberty that I have ever met. Read it and learn how much we need courageous ‘Islamophobes’ like Robert in order to stay free […]
Hamas-linked CAIR on Robert Spencer: “One of the nation’s most notorious Islamophobes”
Why does opposing jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and other groups make one “notorious”? Why does it get one stigmatized with the pejorative label “Islamophobe”? Is there really a distinction between sound and legitimate criticism of Islam and jihad and “Islamophobia”? Is there a way for thoughtful opponents of jihad terror […]
Muslim writer: “Robert Spencer is an Edward Said turned upside down”
Stephen Suleyman Schwartz is a convert to Islam and author of The Two Faces of Islam: Saudi Fundamentalism and Its Role in Terrorism and The Other Islam: Sufism and the Road to Global Harmony. He and I were on a panel together at CPAC in 2003 and have had some contentious exchanges in the past. […]
Ann Coulter on Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “Brilliant!”
Here is Ann Coulter on my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe: Don’t want to get run down by a truck on a New York street by a maniac screaming “Allahu akbar”? Object to polygamy and female genital mutilation? You must be an Islamophobe. Whether you are a dedicated Islamophobe or merely Islamophobia-curious, Robert Spencer’s […]
PJ Media on Robert Spencer: “A leader in this war for over a decade”
PJ Media called me “A leader in this war for over a decade, documenting not just what is happening but explaining why.” Thank you. But is the war in question really the resistance against jihad terror? Or is the larger war against those who believe that the resistance against jihad terror is morally wrong and […]
Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe “#1 New Release in Islam”
Imagine the rage and gnashing of teeth among the Leftist propagandists, Islamic supremacist taqiyya masters, and academic fascists over this book zooming to #1 on the Islam charts. What happens when an ordinary person starts telling the truth about the motivating ideology of jihad terror? Rage, hysteria, defamation, and death threats. And that’s just the […]
Islamophobia is killing the free world
Islamophobia is killing the free world. On this the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Council on American-Islamic Relations may agree, but I don’t mean the statement in quite the same sense in which they would understand it. Scan over some recent Jihad Watch headlines: Minnesota: Christian center fires man for helping stage “Exposing Sharia” […]
What makes someone a “hateful Islamophobe”?
In a new article over at the Unz Review, John Derbyshire asserts that I “hate” Islam, and calls me an “Islamophobe.” His article is entitled “I Don’t HATE Muslims—I’m PRUDENT About Them. There’s A Difference.” So apparently one can be prudent, like Derbyshire, or “hateful,” like me. What’s the difference? Aside from the name-calling, Derbyshire […]
Why did the New York Deputy Police Commissioner say NYC jihad massacre “isn’t about Islam”?
In a press conference after Sayfullo Saipov’s vehicular jihad massacre in Manhattan, New York Deputy Police Commissioner John Miller said, “This isn’t about Islam, this isn’t about the mosque he attends.” Yet Saipov had a massive amount of Islamic State material on his phone, and a note in his attack truck that said, “There is […]
Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “#1 New Release in Radical Political Thought”
I’m grateful that the book is getting so much interest, but “Radical Political Thought”? What “Radical Political Thought”? In the book I call for nothing more “radical” than defending the principles of the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Those are “radical”? Of course, Amazon must be referring to “Islamophobia.” In the […]
Why has feminism sold its soul to Islam?
The feminist movement was supposed to be about equality of rights for women. It was supposed to be about freeing women from male domination. It was supposed to be about empowering women as individuals, and enabling them to attain their full potential. Maybe feminists were never really committed to these goals at all. Maybe the […]
Is Jihad Watch a chronicle of the West’s suicide?
Jihad Watch has been tracking jihad activity in the U.S. and around the world, day in and day out for fourteen years. The Jihad Watch archives, which you can access on the right sidebar, are over 60,000 pieces of evidence. Evidence that the warriors of jihad is advancing against non-Muslim nations in Asia, Europe, and […]
Gavin McInnes on Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “Postjudice, not prejudice”
Here is Gavin McInnes on my forthcoming book, Confessions of an Islamophobe, which you can preorder here: “This book proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Islamophobia is not based on an irrational fear of Islam, but a rational concern. Robert Spencer eloquently and definitively proves that concern about Islam is based on postjudice, […]

“An indispensable guide to how leftists from Linda Sarsour to Bernie Sanders have joined forces with Islamic enemies of women”
“Robert Spencer is one of the most informed scholars on the nature of Islam and the jihadist threat. He is also one of the bravest. Confessions of an Islamophobe is an indispensable guide to how American leftists from Linda Sarsour to Bernie Sanders have joined forces with the Islamic enemies of women, gays, Jews, Christians, […]
What happens when an ordinary American stands up to the global jihad?
Canada is now discussing criminal penalties for “Islamophobia.” Facebook’s Vice President went to Pakistan in July to assure the Pakistani government that Facebook would remove content critical of Islam. American columnists seriously call for the denial of free speech rights to those who warn about the jihad threat. That call was directed at me, for […]
“No one has upset Islamophobia cabal more than Spencer. He knows more about Islam than they do.” — Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Here is what Ayaan Hirsi Ali has to say about my forthcoming book, Confessions of an Islamophobe (coming December 5 from Bombardier Books; pre-order here now): “No one has upset the Islamophobia cabal more than Robert Spencer. First, he knows more about Islamic doctrine than they do. Next, he has outed all the tricks they […]
Coming November 28: Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe
The real Islamophobia industry is dedicated to intimidating people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror. It does this primarily by conflating two distinct and separate things: vigilante attacks against and harassment of innocent Muslims, which are always wrong and to be rejected, and examination of the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists, which is […]
