Here is something you rarely see — an objective and balanced report on Robert Spencer’s recent talks in Canada. Spencer is, as always, nails it — brilliant, bold and brave.
Needless to say, Islamic supremacists and their lefist lapdogs were spitting bullets.
“Political Islam critic Robert Spencer’s Calgary talk: Smeared by lefty media, welcomed by normal people,” Sheila Gunn Reid, Rebel Media, May 3, 2016:
Story continues below advertisementControversial Author Robert Spencer was in Calgary last week to give a talk at an event hosted by the newly founded Calgary chapter of the Jewish Defence League.
Robert Spencer is only really controversial because he is a vocal critic of radical Islam. He doesn’t say anything hateful. He’s factual. Spencer’s speeches and writings frequently cite the Koran and the teachings of Islamic leaders. If you want to know what radical Islamists advocate, look to their book. Makes sense to me.
Security was tight at the Calgary event but the room was packed. People from all different religions and backgrounds were there to listen to Spencer talk about how the Western world is failing to address the threat of radical, political Islam. Of, course,the leftist media had a field day with the mere fact that Spencer’s feet touched the ground in Calgary.
Before a word had even left Spencer’s mouth, the Calgary Herald had sought Imam Syed Soharwardy for comment. Soharwardy told the Herald that Spencer’s mere presence and words would cause a fracture in the faith community in Calgary. Perhaps Soharwardy and his fact averse ilk need a safe space from Spencer’s truths.
CBC was just as bad. Of course. They ran to Soharwardy,too. They did their best to smear the JDL as terrorists and Spencer as an “anti-muslim blogger”. Spencer is a best selling author and expert on political Islam. CBC would have you think he is a hate preacher.
I was there and Soharwardy wasn’t. I didn’t see division. I saw unity between Jews and Gentiles against the threat of fundamental Mohammadism.

I was glad to attend Robert Spencers presentation in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
To hear him in person and meet him was very encouraging for me.
Thanks for coming.
Dam, I missed it.
The Grand Prairie presentation is posted on You Tube if you are interested Mahou Shoujo.
Thanks, will took a look.
One of the bravest and the brightest … freedom fighter Robert Spencer … our deepest thanks.
He is such a wonderful and persuasive speaker but I am so ashamed of the treatment he received from the many lunatics who reside in this country. I had a friend who was on the fence regarding Islam, I lent that friend my copy of Robert’s Politically Incorrect Guide To Islam, A few days later that friend returned the book and I can say he now stands on the right side of the fence. Would love to see Robert Spencer speak in person, I am envious of those who attended.
The “cbc” , or “caliphate bozo circus” as it is more aptly described as, is the dull tool of liberal socialist dhimmis. Its comments are very carefully spun and edited to make it look like Canada is a nation of snuggly fools. Never place any value in cbc reporting as it is more propaganda than even north korea spews. Calgary has a muslim mayor, there is no significant religious issues other than those the lame stream media fabricate to monger their socialist hate of freedom and civilization.
Calgary’s mayor is an Ismaili muslim and Robert said they are the peaceful sect.
I don’t know anyone who actually listens to the CBC…. when “Hockey Night in Canada” was on was the only time anyone would actually turn to that channel.
There are a few peaceful sects of islam. However they are all despised as apostates by sunni and shiite, who murder them as quickly as any other unbeliever. There was a time when the radio at home and in the office were always on cbc, as in the antediluvian time before progressive political correctness, multiculturalism, and blatant liberal stupidity corrupted cbc programming to the extent that is is less informative than static. Sometimes, if there is a story that cannot be spun liberal socialist, they will do a mediocre job of reporting.
How do you figure they’re “peaceful”? Please point out to me just one sect of pi$$lam that has categorically rejected muhamMUD’s commandments to jihad (i.e. in the holy quranus) or to slaughter all the Jews. Please point out to me any sect of pi$$lam that has repudiated the rabid Jew hatred found in all the holey books of pi$$lam. The Amadiyas are nothing but smooth talking liars. Your fantasy land of a peaceful islam doesn’t exist anywhere muslums have political power.
They simply do not adhere to the letter of the order of the qur’an. That is why they are considered apostates.
Izlamls…..
Did you not hear Robert say in the video that the Ismaili sect were peaceful? There is also the Yazidi sect…..
Most Nawzis were peaceful as well.
The muslums who have taken over Dearbornistan, Michigan did so peacefully does that make it any better?
I’m anti-muslim in the same way I’m anti-nazi — and for almost exactly the same reasons.
Yes, isn’t it amazing that being anti-slavery is considered hate speech,,,what an age we live in……
I’m surprised no Canadian muslum police officers tried to strong-arm the host of the event into dis-inviting Mr. Spencer, like they did to a rabbi who dared to invite Mrs. Geller to speak at his synagogue.
not many of those in Alberta….only in Liberal la-la land Ontario.
I’m sorry but I’ve heard “radical islam” one too many times to believe it any more.
Mr Erdogan said that even speaking of ‘moderate’ islam was offensive to all muslims.
There is no radical Islam, there is no moderate Islam, there is just Islam.
All the retards who think differently should move to any islamic state and enjoy the freedoms and liberties that don’t exist in any of them.
Are you saying then that Robert Spencer is a retard? He said in the video above that the Ismaili sect is a peaceful one…so I guess there is a moderate one after all.
Most Nawzis were peaceful as well foolio. Why don’t you try criticising islam publicly in any islamic state? Instead of talking thru ur A$$, put ur money where ur mouth is.
Robert and Pamela are both gems and heroes, and it is heartening to see in Canada that the people are not buying into the irrationality of the political elite. Same is true of America. Although I am not a fan of Trump, his takeover of the Republican party shows that Americans who can’t tolerate the Dems also can’t be manipulated by the Rep elites regardless of how much they tried to defeat him. Pamela and Robert thumbing their noses at political correctness and moral equivalency has been a large part of this change.. THANKS.
Really? BOTH have passed on the only real solution to Islam, either in the US or the world) –

A Proposed Constitutional Amendment
Background and justification to Amendment 28
Whereas Religion is defined as an institution dedicated to improving social conscience and promoting individual and societal spiritual growth in a way that is harmless to others not participating in or practicing the same;
Whereas the United States of America was founded on the ideals of individual rights, including the individual right to practice one’s religion of choice, or no religion, and that there would be no compulsion of religion, nor state sanctioned religion, nor a “religious test” for participation in the body politic;
Whereas Islam includes a complete political and social structure, encompassed by its religious law, Sharia, that supersedes any civil law and that Islam mandates that no secular or democratic institutions are to be superior to Islamic law;
Whereas Islam preaches that it and it alone is the true religion and that Islam will dominate the world and supplant all other religions and democratic institutions;
Whereas Saudi Arabia, the spiritual home of Islam does not permit the practice of any other religion on its soil and even “moderate” Muslims states such as Turkey and Malaysia actively suppress other religions;
Whereas Islam includes as its basic tenet the spread of the faith by any and all means necessary, including violent conquest of non-believers, and demands of its followers that they implement violent jihad (holy war) against those un-willing to convert or submit to Islam, including by deception and subversion of existing institutions;
Whereas on 9/11/2001 19 Muslim hijackers acting in the name of Islam killed 3,000 Americans, and numerous other acts of terrorism have been directed at the American people around the world;
Whereas representatives of Islam around the world including Osama Bin Laden (architect of 9/11), the government of Iran including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, HAMAS, Hezbollah, and other Islamic groups have declared jihad (war) on America, and regularly declare that America should cease to exist;
Whereas there is no organized Islamic opposition to violent proponents of Islam;
Therefore: Islam is not a religion, but a political ideology more akin to Fascism and totally in opposition to the ideals of freedom as described in the United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights.
Be it resolved that the following Amendment to the Constitution be adopted:
Article I
The social/political/ideological system known around the world as Islam is not recognized in the United States as a religion.
The practice of Islam is therefore not protected under the 1st Amendment as to freedom of religion and speech.
Article II
As representatives of Islam around the world have declared war, and committed acts of war, against the United States and its democratic allies around the world, Islam is hereby declared an enemy of the United States and its practice within the United States is now prohibited.
Article III
Immediately upon passage of this Amendment all Mosques, schools and Muslim places of worship and religious training are to be closed, converted to other uses, or destroyed. Proceeds from sales of such properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate agency as determined by Congress. No compensation is to be offered by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said structures if other disposition cannot be made.
The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high school academic environment provided that instruction include discussion of Islam’s history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing war on democratic and other non-Islamic values.
The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination, destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as prescribed by Congress. Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or the material support of those both in the United States and around the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be punishable by death.
Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United States.
Article IV
Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim. The individual right of conscience is sacrosanct and the practice of Islam within the privacy of home and self is strictly protected to the extent that such individuals do not violate the prohibitions described in Article III.
google “pedestrian infidel proposed constitutional amendment”, the link won’t past here
I understand and share your disdain for 6th century Arab customs and prejudices codified in a book and clothed in stolen monotheism. The first part shows their leaders to be smart but the last was easy considering the popularity of monotheism sweeping away polytheistic beliefs. However you are challenging my characterization of Pamela and Robert for the cultural and philosophical progress they represent and their courage against constant threats of death, and instead offer something that has zero value because it has zero chance of receiving serious consideration let alone passage.
I agree with their disinterest and any reason they may disapprove of this proposed amendment since it sets a bad precedent that the Constitution could be used by a majority willing to abuse it to oppress an ideology they disagree with. Furthermore, the introduction and justification reveals a biased definition of religion that also discriminates against millions that disagree with it and ignores the reformation that secularists forced upon early Christianity. This faux religion can be easily marginalized and dismissed by recovering traditional American values by ending the influence of multiculturalism, moral equivalency and political correctness. There are already plenty of laws to deal with the anti-American and violence advocacy of Islam but your amendment is a direct attack on the freedom of speech against a selected unpopular few and the consequences of it passing would be a terrible precedent.
Well if you can adapt my proposal to Catholics or any other “religion” have at it and see how it looks.
You’ve basically decided to commit suicide by allowing a violent ideology that wants you DEAD to “co-exist” with you.
Eventually they will kill you.
Get real, that proposed amendment has no chance of serious consideration so you can forget about passage. Why are you arguing against those that want to challenge and overcome the cultural corruption that is making the Islamic threat and invasion possible while they expose the truth about this phony religion? Only that is possible if it isn’t too late.
then get out and do it. why are you arguing with me?
but you will never win this battle as long as Islam is a “religion” protected by the 1st amendment.
I do not have to give free speech to people who advocate my death.
we wouldn’t have allowed Nazi’s to hold rally’s in the US in WWII so why do we allow Muslims to preach hatred of us and death to us now.
my solution is the only way to defeat the evil of Islam.
YOUR way will not work. it is not working now, it hasn’t worked, and it will not work.
If it is only your way or the highway, then the battle is already lost.
It is lost because even people like you are too constrained by PC to get to the root of the problem.
Now I know your problem, you can’t read. Try reading what I said again pea brain.
evidently you’d rather argue with me than go out and fight the problem. I don’t think you’re very serious about it.
IF you read anything I wrote, you have no reading comprehension.
you should be out trying to convince other people of the problem – I’m quite aware of it.
seems to me like you are wasting your time.
Are you coherent? You started out challenging my praise of Pamela and Robert because they don’t support your useless advocacy of a Constitutional Amendment which tries to settle your religious dispute with a Constitutional Amendment while they effectively advocate against political correctness and for freedom of speech which can be used to effectively roll back the Muslim invasion and attacks on western culture. This is a religious war for you and you can’t think past that while the Muslim incompatibility with American western culture is cultural, which you mistakenly attribute to religion. They practice monotheism, which I said was stolen and you would know if you could read, just like the foundation of Christian beliefs, but your dramatic differences with them are cultural and shared with millions of secular advocates and other religions around the world. The high point of your incoherency was when you attacked me for bowing to political correctness for opposing your proposed amendment. You for good reason feel under attack for your religious beliefs but are blindly flailing at anything that disagrees with you.
I’m not religious you stupid twit.
I don’t care what fantasy YOU, or anybody else, wants to believe UNLESS that belief says you can kill me if I don’t follow it also.
Note which “fantasy” tries to enforce their belief by violence and which doesn’t.
I’d give you a hint but you are too bound up in PC to be able to see the trees for the forest.
And you are ABSOLUTLY wrong.
The cause of Muslim incompatibility with the civilized West is due ENTIRELY to their “religion”. A religion that says to cover the world with Islam by conversion, enslavement, or death to all who oppose it.
And there are an awful lot of them who are quite willing to go to the point of killing as is demonstrated nearly every day.
That is why you are clueless about this – you refuse to recognize reality.
How do you claim that Islam is not a religion and then claim that their incompatibility with America is their religion, which you want to constitutionally ban and even make its advocacy criminal? I may be wrong when I misunderstood your arguments as coming from a religious view point but I am not wrong that your proposed C. Amendment has zero possibility of serious consideration and that is should never be considered as it crosses the constitutions own separation of Church and State and criminalizes opinion. Your insistence on claiming that the conflict is with Islam and then want to make it illegal unintentionally gives legitimacy to it and with it savage customs and prejudices that should can be easily dismissed as savagery in a culture the removes the influences of multiculturalism, moral relativism and political correctness. Evidently the irrational conclusions and confusion intended by multiculturalism is even working on you. America was exceptional because it was the zenith of human cultural evolution and that cultural superiority is what needs to be defended and restored and the cultural inferiorities of all the others openly debated and exposed. .
their “religion” is their culture.
and their “religion” is dedicated to destroying our culture.
my proposal de-legitimizes Islam by accurately describing what it is – a VIOLENT political ideology of conquest.
you cannot fight Islam in the US if you pretend it is a religion – because then you are protecting the very same people who want to kill you.
the 1st A is not a suicide pact – unless PC people like you want to make it one.
you are right, my proposal will never succeed. but I didn’t expect it too. my purpose was to put the argument into stark reality and generate a real discussion about the issue.
unfortunately the West is going to lose the battle with Islam because a great many of them are just like you – foolishly deluded into thinking Islam can be reformed or their “culture” changed to be compatible with the West.
hasn’t happened in 1400 years. it is not going to happen in another 1400.
I never felt we weren’t on generally the same side, but Islam doesn’t want anyone to distinguish their savage customs and beliefs from their claim of religious status, and unintentionally you agree and comply. They stole the goodwill of monotheism that was sweeping away the primitive polytheistic systems in the 6th century to legitimize Mo’s advocacy of Arab tribal customs, practices and prejudices. Without corrupting the separation of Church and State in the Constitution, Islam can claim the status of religion because of its monotheistic belief and that should be sufficient for any religion, but that does not protect it from a rigorous and unrelenting opposition for its underlying cultural inferiorities and bias. It doesn’t deserve any comment as a religion but complete disdain for its insistence and defense of savage cultural values, using the term value in its generic philosophical meaning. There is nothing in the Constitutions protection of Freedom of Religion that protects any religion from uncensored and rigorous criticism
Thank you, Mrs Geller and Mr Spencer for speaking the truth in and out of season.
ANZAC day wasn’t conceived to celebrate the victory in world war 2. It was developed to commemorate those who lost their lives in world war 1 as the day falls on the anniversary of the start of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in which the british commonwealth invaded the galipolli which fell apart over the coming months. Its commemorated on this day because it was the first battle that Australian and new Zealand troops fought in, hence the nama ANZAC.
So?
SO……Robert was wrong! Do you have a problem with hearing facts?
I am a life-long democrat. I mean was. I can’t stand by any longer while phonies like Hillary mock all of us. The party put the fix in and when I complained about the super delegates I was told that it is THEIR party and THEY can make any rules they like. If I didn’t like it I could start my own party. Pretty damn good.
You know, I despise Trump. He’s a thuggish creep. But this is not an election for Prom King and Queen. I’m not voting for the one I like best. Rather I’m voting for the only one that I think has a chance of smashing through the corrupt mess we’ve all allowed our government to become.
We will kick out the theocrats, the ideologues, the avaricious Clintons and their ilk. Give me a rough as guts bastard like Trump and let us clean this filth from our house boys and girls…and when this job is done, mark my words, USAmericans will understand that they, to a man, woman and child, are all responsible for learning and practicing good citizenship. But first a big rain is gonna come and wash all this shite off the streets.
Not being a journalist myself, it seems strange to me the media sought comment from third party sources like the so-called Imam instead of Spencer himself.
It is not out of the realm of possibility that the media are being manipulated and controlled through the PMO.
At this rate they do not need any nudge to look stupid. All the public wants is factual stories that are written with a degree of perspective but all we get is slanted crap with the writer’s personal prejudices usually showing up by the second or third sentence in.
The media ( CBC) is run by liberals….they get over a billion dollars annually from the government….they don’t need to be controlled by the PMO….they will say and do anything to make sure that they get their monies and can ask for more now since the liberals control the House of Commons.
I really hope Trump endorses the work of Spencer, Gabrielle, Geller and the other brave Heros.
Why have people found it necessary to create “the newly founded Calgary chapter of the Jewish Defence League.”? Are they concerned about the usual violent actions of a Middle East radical terrorist political organization hiding as a religion?
there is only one solution to Islam in the US but Pam won’t sign on to it –
