Yeah right, POS is more like it.

See that is the key point that Mr Spence makes. That Islam demands that we all bow to its wishes to make peace.

Therefor Islam isnt peacefully unless you submit to Islam

William Amos on October 26, 2007 at 8:40 AM

We should be telling Muslim apologists: If you want to demonstrate to the world that “Islam is a religion of peace” — stop trying to convince us. Instead, you must convince the Islamic terrorists.

I didn’t see a picture of a plane going into the side of a WTC tower in that advertisement. I wonder why? The first goal- kill all resistance to islam. The second goal- convert all humans to islam under pain of death. Yeah, sounds peaceful to me.

Someone made the point a few weeks ago that the “Islam is Peace” advertising is being placed on the sides of London double decker buses. The same type of bus that the Islamists blew up a few years ago…

“We want to eradicate islamophobia.”

Hey Einstein, that should say “We want to eradicate islamofascism!

When you say you want to eradicate islophobia, that sounds you wanna kill anybody who opposses the muslim take over of Britian … which leads to more islamophobia. Not too bright, these guys.

Tony737 on October 26, 2007 at 9:26 AM

Oooops, typo. ^islamo^

Babs, they put ‘em on trains too. How ironic. Put ‘em on the very same targets that were hit on 7/7. Drill it into the subconscience of the Brits, that 7/7 will happen again if you don’t submit.

Tony737 on October 26, 2007 at 9:30 AM

THe way to eliminate Islamophobia is to eliminate Islamofacism. Until the facism of Islam is abandoned then there will always be a need to fear islam

William Amos on October 26, 2007 at 9:31 AM

salaam = peace
islam = submission

they believe one must come before the other…do you know which one? i bet you do!!!

Miss_Anthrope on October 26, 2007 at 9:36 AM

“fight islamophobia” Huh, the very first word is “fight”.

Great video Robert, Thank You.

mjkazee on October 26, 2007 at 10:40 AM

Wow, great vent Robert Spencer, thank you!
Just bought your book, Politically Incorrect Guide to islam, can’t wait to read it!

aunursa on October 26, 2007 at 8:53 AM

Well said.

You misspelled it. It should be:

Islam is piece

…that is, a large piece of Afganistan, a large piece of Iraq, a piece of your airports, a piece of your colleges, a piece of your security forces….etc, etc.

Here’s what our “Islamophobes” are dealing with in Denmark today:

Miss_Anthrope on October 26, 2007 at 11:09 AM

Great piece Robert! I always look forward to your disertations. They are always informative and right on point. Too bad muslims don’t listen to them. You remain a guiding light in the fight against the evils of islam and their thugs and killers. God bless you and your family.

countywolf on October 26, 2007 at 11:48 AM

It’s true; the islam, submission, of your enemies is peace. The taxation and economic strangulation of your enemies is peace. The extinction of your enemies is peace. Living in your enemies’ houses is peace. Having children by your enemies’ daughters is peace. Islam, submission, is great, and so is peace, when you’re on the receiving end of them. Put your enemies in islam to you.

“the relentlessly clueless Alan Colmes”

HAHA! You do have a way with words Robert.

infidel4life on October 26, 2007 at 1:26 PM

Brilliant analysis delivered with crystal clarity is Robert Spencer’s trademark, thank you again Mr. Spencer.

Maxx on October 26, 2007 at 1:31 PM

Alan Colmes is half the reason that progam is such a drag. The other half is Sean Hannity.

infidelpride on October 26, 2007 at 2:40 PM

good point as always

2:10 Disbelievers are diseased.
2:99 Disbelievers are evil people.
2:104 For disbelievers is a painful doom.

3:28 Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference of believers.
3:73 Don’t believe anyone who is not a Muslim.
3:48 Don’t be friends with non-Muslims. They all hate you and want to ruin you.
4:89 Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.
4:63 Oppose those who refuse to follow Muhammad.
4:101The disbelievers are an open enemy to you.

5:51 Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.
5:51 Jews and Christians are losers.
5:60 Allah turned unbelievers into apes and swine.
5:59 Jews and Christians are evil people.
9:5 Slay the disbelievers wherever you find them.

Great Job as always, Mr. Spencer.

A quote that I love from Ann Coulter’s new book is :

All Muslims are not Terrorists, but all the Terrorists were Muslims.

TheFamousOne on October 26, 2007 at 3:57 PM

Islam is? Peace

Judge for yourself.

Kini on October 27, 2007 at 12:39 AM

ROBERT, you missed a vital point. A point that many people covering islamispeace have also missed.

Islamispeace is backed by MAB. MAB are the British offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood (the group that also spawned al qaeda).

I guess islamispeace are a little shy about this, as they’ve removed their list of backers from their front page.

Thank heavens for the wayback machine!

Unfortunately, President Bush has helped to give movements like this some credibility with his frequent use of the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace.”

JellyToast on October 27, 2007 at 7:58 AM

Hannity and Colmes is crap, like most of fox news anymore. Fox has turned into a tabloid…rubbish.

oldernslower on October 27, 2007 at 1:14 PM

New counter-campaign:

islam is propaganda
