Robert Spencer, through his books, seminars and Jihad Watch website, has long been a courageous voice exposing the ugly truths about radical -and not so radical – Islam ~
Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology play in the modern world and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. By shedding as much light as possible on these matters, we hope to alert people of good will to the true nature of the present global conflict.
Like Pamela Geller, another fearless anti-Sharia activist, Spencer’s visibility as an outspoken critic of Muslims’ jihad ideology has made him a frequent target of slander, libel and all manner of verbal assaults. But the unhinged “Coexist” crowd is taking the attacks to a whole new, dangerous level. After a speaking engagement in Iceland last week Spencer was actually drugged by a couple of mind-numbed, anti-free speech thugs. Because neither Islamic extremists, nor their unwitting allies in the Left, can abide dissent…
Here’s part of Mark Steyn’s excellent commentary on this shocking story (which by the way was totally ignored by the mainstream media), describing the reactionary behaviors of these low-information drones ~
The social-justice crowd are moving toward the same point as the Charlie Hebdo killers, and for the same reason: They’re too stupid to argue. For the Islamic imperialists, debate is a largely alien concept. For the left, it’s simply too much effort. As I said here many years ago, the great appeal of multiculturalism is that it absolves you from having to know anything about other cultures: If they’re all equally valid, what’s the point? Slap on the CO-EXIST bumper sticker and off you tootle. No need to worry whether the “C” might have a bit of a problem with some of the other letters, and that indeed, if not for the “C”, you wouldn’t need a bumper-sticker admonition to CO-EXIST in the first place. But, after two generations of social engineering, of the substitution of attitudes for education, it would require too much effort to equip yourself to argue against the difficult questions a man such as Robert Spencer raises. It’s literally easier to kill him.

The UK’s Assault on Free Speech ~ I wrote this post about the censoring of any criticism of the Muslim worldview almost four years ago! Islamist apologists in the media and government, both here in and in Europe, still refuse to face the truth. They’re safe behind their bomb-proof walls, alarms and body-guards so they simply don’t care how many innocents are murdered by the Religion-of-Peace.
