Robert Spencer, a Paul Revere of our Times
Robert Spencer, a Paul Revere of Our TimesBy Frank HawkinsRobert Spencer’s new book The History of Jihad from Muhammad to ISIS is a clarion call to Western Civilization. We are under assault by Islam from all sides in a war that has raged since 632, the date of Muhammad’s death. In trying to raise the alarm, Spencer is clearly one of the Paul Reveres of our time. But who is willing to listen?Spencer’s opening observation sums up his book.“There is no period since the beginning of Islam that was characterized by peaceful co-existence between Muslims and non-Muslims . . . There has always been, with virtually no interruption, jihad. Nor is jihad in Islamic theology primarily, or even prominently anything but warfare against non-believers.”The rest of Spencer’s well researched and thoroughly documented book are the details, fascinating, convincing and frightening details that more that substantiate his case.Spencer is one of the world’s leading authorities on Islam. He has written several best selling books on Islam and is founder of Jihad Watch, a website that covers global Islamic attacks and activity on a daily basis. It is a program of the David Horowitz Freedom center, where Spencer is a Shillman Fellow. He also is co-founder of Stop Islamization of America. A tireless speaker and advocate, he has been banned from entering the UK despite the fact the British government has no trouble allowing Islamic hate preachers full access.Of the Greek Orthodox faith, Spencer has spent decades researching, studying and observing the elements that fill this important book with records of events and, most damagingly, direct quotes from Qur’an, which “contain numerous exhortations to fight against the infidels, as do all the hadith collections of Muhammad’s words and deeds.” More specifically, the scriptures command Muslims to “fight those who do not believe in Allah.” The historical record is chilling. But Spencer’s most damaging and convincing argument is letting the Muslims speak for themselves including the prophet Muhammad who bragged, “I have been victorious with terror.”The book sweeps the reader through Muhammad’s own bloody conquests against Jews and other infidels, and then on through centuries of jihad, mass bloodshed from Spain to India, the Barbary Wars, the Ottoman Empire, and on into modern day global terrorism. There is no accurate body count, but it’s certainly a staggering number.His most alarming material is in the closing chapter “The West loses the Will to Live.” The well-documented, ongoing jihad against Israel is more than enough for a book of its own. The fall of the Shah of Iran triggered the globalization of modern jihad terrorism. Spencer details the rise of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden along with the 9/11 attacks that were, not so shockingly, organized and funded by senior people in both Saudi Arabia and Iran. Even worse were attempts by the Bush administration and the Obama administration to cover this up. One can see the hand of Obama’s CIA director John Brennan in a good deal of this. Who can forget Obama’s 2009 trip to Cairo where he “acknowledged civilization’s debt to Islam.” Somehow he managed not to mention the slaughter of millions over the centuries in the name of Allah.The Obama-supported Muslim Brotherhood, which has been labeled by some as a terrorist group, and its offshoot CAIR, remain highly active in weakening America’s resolve to resist the encroachment of Islam. In February 2012, for instance, the Obama administration, led by John Brennan, purged thousands of documents about the threat of Jihad from FBI and other government training manuals, because they were allegedly “biased, false and highly offensive to Muslim groups.” In other words, Spencer points out, “American was going to war against jihadists while forbidding itself to understand jihad.” Brennan, in fact, “was instrumental in the Obama administration’s recasting of the defense against terror as a localized struggle against al-Qaeda.“ This was after Spencer had led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Justice Department’s Terrorism Advisory Council and the US intelligence community.Meanwhile, the flood of Muslim immigrants into the West has accelerated. Spencer concludes that, “The failure of today’s leadership and the international media to inform the public about what is really going on (is) an abdication of responsibility unparalleled in history.” Spencer believes the leaders of Europe have “brought almost certain doom on their countries.” Reading daily dispatches, particularly from the UK and France, it is difficult to disagree.Spencer is not a lone voice. In his daily electronic ride across America warning of the increasing Islamic threat, he has active allies in Pamela Geller, David Horowitz, Brigitte Gabriel, Jamie Glazov, Raymond Ibrahim and Glen Roberts who have not been afraid to identify the ideological monster that threatens to destroy our Constitution and our way of life. Roberts’ website, the Religion of Peace keeps daily track of jihadist attacks on a global basis: 33,953 since 9/11. Islamic extremism and efforts to combat it were responsible for 84,000 deaths in 2017, according to a report from an organization founded by former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair. The data found that there were 7,841 attacks in 48 countries in 2017, at least 47 Islamic extremist groups deliberately "orchestrated fatal campaigns against civilians." Those attacks, the report says, were "designed to instill fear and erode public morale."The real question is how to destroy the Islamic destroyers. Amil Imani, writing for Pamela Geller’s website, offers an action specific list that includes holding to account politicians who sell themselves to Islamic advocacy groups, staying informed and finding ways to actively wean ordinary Muslims away from their religion of destruction, intolerance, backwardness and death. Muslims need to be openly challenged ideologically. Do they accept Sharia law (female genital mutilation, the right of a man to beat one’s wife, total subjugation of wives by their husbands, death for unmarried fornication and adultery, death to gays, death to critics of Islam, death for apostates) over America’s Constitutional law? Is reform of Islam even a theoretical possibility?Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich echoes Spencer,“Western civilization is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia— I am glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door.”On a personal note, I spent two exciting years in Beirut as chief of Middle East Services for the Associated Press. I had many Arab, Armenian and Palestinian friends and employees. Many of them were wonderful, lovely people who were fun to socialize and spend time with. But this was before Jimmy Carter cut the floor out from under the Shah, paving the way for the Ayatollah Khomeini to return from Paris to Tehran to assume leadership of the country. My friends were what I would call cultural or secular Muslims. They were not devout and did not pray five times a day. As far as I knew they were good people. So it’s important to separate good human beings from radical Islam wherever we can.In his 2002 “Letter to the American people,” bin Laden wrote that war against the United States will end“only with the submission of the United States to the warriors of jihad. The first thing we are calling you to is Islam . . . killing you and fighting you and terrorizing you, responding to your attacks, all are considered to be the great legitimate duty in our religion. These actions are offerings to God.”Will any Imam or devout Muslim challenge this or renounce it?“The historical record speaks for itself,” says Spencer, “even more loudly and clearly than it usually does. It is my hope that readers with an open mind and a willingness to consider unwelcome facts…will see this record for what it is and ponder carefully its implications for the future of free societies around the world.” In other words, Islam is coming, by land, sea and air. The warnings are all there. It’s time to recognize what is happening and bring it to a halt.Frank Hawkins is a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, Associated Press foreign correspondent, international businessman, senior newspaper company executive, founder and owner of several marketing companies, and published novelist.

Muslims should return to Mohammed when he began and befoe he was terrorized....
MUSLIMS SHOULD RETURN TO MOHAMMED WHEN HE BEGAN AND BEFORE HE WAS TERRORIZED...BOOK REVIEW ARTICLE FOR THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MOHAMMED TO ISISby Robert Spencer, Post Hill Press, New York, 2018, 440 pages.BY Samuel A. Nigro, MD, retired psychiatrist, copyright c 2018 Open Access All Publishers.The book opens with "I have been made victorious with terror"--a quote of Mohammed from Imam Muslim. The book closes 440 pages later with "I have been made victorious through terror"--a quote of Mohammed from Al-Bukhari. In between the quotes is one Islamic terror after another for which no apologies have ever been made.Mohammed was born in 571 and died in 632. The verses of the Koran and the thousands of reports (hadiths) of the words and deeds of Mohammed date from the eighth and ninth centuries, some hundreds of years after Mohammed's death (Can you imagine the accuracy of claiming to have thousands of quotes from George Washington since his death if there was never any original written record of them?). Given the lack of accurate record keeping and no documentation, and inability of most to read or write, in Mohammed's days, academic and historical honesty impel rational questioning of the truth, purpose, and reliability of all the so-called sacred words of Islam as accumulated from those few centuries after Mohammed's death--especially when all the "words" got the people to subjugate themselves by peer pressure, suggestibility diseases, enthusiastic compliance, pseudo-spirituality and metaphorical appeals excluding and punishing alternate possibilities. Doubt about the reports (hadiths and deeds) of Mohammed is further justified by the almost universal uncertainty of today's information technology and its use to manipulate, exploit, indoctrinate, and control others. Indeed, today's world is a "Suggestibility Contest" more so than in the centuries shortly after Mohammed died--Those who made up and compiled all alleged quotes and deeds from Mohammed had little with which to compete in their obvious impositions to control and lead all others. The public, then as now, have been susceptible to loud convincing morbidly repeating Suggestibility Diseases (1). Into the now recognized standard Suggestibility Diseases, scheming tyrant imams incorporated "terror" as the means for "victory" meaning "power-mad tyranny" to force, seduce, convince, and obligate all into follow the dictating imams who censored and denigrated anything but their own messages. Terror at not following the imams converts to terror projected by following them. Reflex head-in-the-dirt bowing to the imams or die becomes Pavlov-trained animals at a circus.Ten chapters list and give glimpses of fourteen centuries of jihad after jihad. Fascinating and appalling. Power-mad subhuman enslaving and murder--All for one and one for all, or else. There are no apologies ever for the subhuman animalistic terrors described, just as one never hears an apology from Muslims for their enslaving murdering today, because Muslims know the consequences of any "criticism" of Islam, which is the same consequential terrorism that turned Mohammed into an admitted terrorist as the opening and closing quotes of the book state. "Terrorism or die" IS terrorism. He did not start this way. Mohammed's first days in Mecca ("Mecca I") were of monogamy, pacificism, and certainly a Mass attending monotheist open to total humanbeingness of the Loving God religion which converted him from the paganism of his birth (I encourage Muslims to imitate Mohammed by doing the same--give up the paganism of your birth). Mohammed, obviously a pacificist at first, refused to join the army of his uncle and was thereafter rejected by his family. He married and was faithful to his first wife for whom he originally worked directing caravans. He did not molest, castrate or enslave others. He was tolerant of other beliefs. Unable to read, he heard enough of the Gospels and Old Testament, probably at the Masses he attended, that he not only wanted out of his birth paganism but he wanted to retain linkage with "the Book" even mentioning it often, but without accuracy or good understanding (It is sadly satanic that he could not keep and read the Book which would have enabled more accuracy and understanding with a much different outcome than his being psychologically destroyed by his power-mad followers who created and imposed terrorist Islam on the Catholic Mohammed of Mecca I). Mohammed did not start terror until he felt it when he was expelled from Mecca I, probably when about 40 years old. No doubt depressed and traumatized by terror, he appropriated terror as both defense and offense, which appealed to the barbarism of the truthless, loveless, unjust world of terror into which all were born, then and to some extent now. Islamic terror became the seductive pseudo-fulfilling power-mad selfish fatalism in which one gratefully wanted to be a terrorist instead of terrorized. Sort of a primitive "If you cannot beat them, join them...or die."A couple of glimpses from the book: "Michael the Syrian recounted that Saladin 'issued an order in Egypt that Christians must always appear in public wearing a [distinguishing] belt as a sign of servitude, and that they could not mount a horse or mule'" (page 163). "With the Ottomans now ruling over a substantial population of Christians, in 1359, Murad founded the janissary corps, a crack force of young men who were seized as boys from their Christian families, enslaved, and forcibly converted to Islam. The was the seizure and enslavement of twenty percent of the Christian children from predominantly Christian areas of the Ottoman Empire. These boys, once seized from their families, were given the choice of Islam or death. Those who chose Islam were, after rigorous training, enrolled in the janissary corps, the emperor's crack troops" (page 187).Absolutely terrorizing is the Islamic State, in November 2017, threatening "Christmas blood" at the Vatican with an image of Pope Francis beheaded (page 359) and publication in their online magazine Dabig of what I call "The Islam Terrorist Manifesto": "We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject the oneness of Allah--whether you realize it or not--by making partners with Him in worship, you blaspheme against Him, claiming that He has a son, you fabricate lies against His prophets and messengers, and you indulge in all manner of devilish practices...We hate you because your secular, liberal societies permit the very things that Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things He has permitted, a matter that doesn't concern you because you (sic) Christian disbelief and paganism separate between religion and state, thereby granting supreme authority to your whims and desires via the legislators you vote into power...In the case of the atheist fringe, we hate you and wage war against you because you disbelieve in the existence of you Lord and Creator...We hate you for your crimes against Islam and wage war against you to punish you for your transgressions against our religion... We hate you for your crimes against Muslims; your drones and fighter jets bomb, kill, and maim our people around the world, and your puppets in the usurped lands of the Muslims oppress, torture, and wage war against anyone who calls to the truth...We hate you for invading our lands and fight you to repel you and drive you out. As long as there is an inch of territory left for us to reclaim, jihad will continue to be a personal obligation on every single Muslim...What's important to understand here is that although some might argue that your foreign policies are the extent of what drives our hatred, this particular reason for hating you is secondary, hence the reason for hating you is secondary, hence the reason we addressed it at the end of the above list...The fact is, even if you were to stop bombing us, imprisoning us, torturing us, and usurping our lands, we would continue to hate you because our primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam" (pages 359-360). I would not be surprised if some imams proclaim these to be the actual words of Mohammed just discovered so they should be added to the Koran.That "manifesto" tells it all. The Mohammed-wannabee writer terrorizes himself and then terrorizes every one he pretends to fear and definitely hates. Every state, country or community with laws against "hate" can use this hate document manifesto and require all Muslims to sign a denial of the manifesto to remain in the state or country or community. Post Mecca I Muslims have no capacity for empathy; for tolerance; for basic human transcendence; for equality; for guilt; for understanding that "evil is the promotion of non-being"; for Hippocratic Humanbeingness (2); for words and Last Words (3); for hand-shakes of peace; for Sacraments or Grace; for entering the Pre-Big Bang Statimuum Eternity by Love of the Big Bang if we love enough; for panhumanity (4); and for Divine Spirit elevating humans above the beasts by the Catholic Mass Mantra of ultimate human purposes of life, sacrifice, virtue, love, humanity, peace, freedom, and natural death without fear.The malicious "sport-less game of terrorism" is the start and finish of this book and Islam--all consistent with my booklet "Is There Love In Islam? (5)" --and the answer is NO--In Islam, there is only what Allah loves or "loves not"--There is no love between people in Islam. Islam is a rock solid 7th to 9th century prison of enslaved and enslaving terror metastasizing everywhere by their power-mad leaders. Instead, Muslims should demonstrate their lack of hate by signing off as against the recently promulgated Islam Terrorist Manifesto.It is time that Muslims re-look at what they have been given and how they have been fooled to be zombies; and reject their indoctrinating brain-washing terror fabrications and tyrannical commandments. You have been psychological subhuman terrorism robots long enough. You should return to the original Mohammed in Mecca I who was basically a Roman Catholic until kidnapped by power-mad corrupt imams into terrorism. And Muslims should also understand that jealousy is the primary basis for all "hate" (6) which is why alcohol is prohibited--a few drinks and you want to be Christians.Muslims: Return to Mohammed when he began and before he felt terrorized and was turned into a terrorist by unhuman power-mad hate-filled dictators who promoted non-being by terror. It is time to stop evil-doing and recover from this medical problem (7) which makes people sick and addicted to terrorism. Fourteen centuries of terrorizing humanity are enough. Lead as Mohammed did in Mecca I and stop listening to those who put words in his mouth.References: attached or AVAILABLE FROM DOCSAM AT: [email protected]. Suggestibilty Prevention Programs2.
