Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of twelve books, including two New York Times bestsellers, The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) (both Regnery). His latest book is Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam's Obscure Origins (ISI).
Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the U.S. intelligence community.
Spencer is the Associate Director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI). He is a weekly columnist for FrontPage Magazine and has written eleven monographs and well over three hundred articles about jihad and Islamic terrorism.
The study will cover the period between 1150 and 1850, when Islam had no influence on European civilization except as a constant existential threat. This is wasted money that will be spent on fantasy and provide evidence of nothing more than modern Europe’s capitulation. “‘The European Qu’ran [sic]’: Falsifying European History With Funding from the […]
“And embrace my gun…” Now that a judge ruled that Columbia U’s Mahmoud Khalil can be deported, and Momodou Taal who urged taking a cue for Hamas has self-deported, Democrats and the media are swarming to defend another one of these foreign students being shoved to the exit. Mohsen Mahdawi, also of Columbia U, presumably […]
Oh, dear. The administration’s stormtroopers are running wild through the land, smashing the storefronts of businesses owned by Democrats, closing down every school that does not display the Ten Commandments, abducting all foreigners who didn’t register as Republicans, and whisking them away to a re-education camp in Alaska. That, at least, seems to be the […]
“I’m building out a transition plan” You just can’t keep Boston’s first Muslim illegal alien city councilwoman down. Not even being arrested by the FBI or pleading guilty for taking kickbacks inside a city hall bathroom was going to keep Tania Fernandes Anderson from going to work each day. Some members of Congress are complaining […]
Dismantling USAID is worth little if we continue sending money to some of its biggest contractors. I will have a more extensive article on this subject later in the week, but suffice it to say that the UN’s World Food Program headed by Cindy McCain is a deeply dishonest and dangerous organization. Even USAID’s watchdog […]
At least when it’s leftist antisemitism. In surprising news, the newspaper that published a list of Jewish members of Congress with yellow marks over their names during the Iran Deal vote (not in 1939 but in 2015) thinks fighting antisemitism is a bad idea. Or at least leftist antisemitism and antisemitism from its Islamist allies. […]
This is the result of the leftist/Islamic alliance in the U.S. Meanwhile, however, the attention is all on the chimera of “Islamophobia.” “Jews most frequently targeted community for hate crimes in New York City – NYPD,” Jerusalem Post, April 5, 2025: Members of the Jewish community were the most frequent targets of hate crimes in New […]
There are still legions of indoctrinated collegiate bots who believe they have the moral high ground. “Yarden Bibas: Hamas told me that I’d get a ‘better wife, better kids,’” Jerusalem Post, March 31, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Released hostage Yarden Bibas was informed about his wife’s and children’s death by Hamas while he was […]
“They indeed have disbelieved [kafara] who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that […]
The pro-Hamas brownshirts at the University of Chicago noisily insist that they are only exercising its “right to free speech” when they demonstrators chant “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which, rightly understood, is a call for the destruction of Israel and its replacement by a 23rd Arab state. They are exercising […]
Biblical Israel just wasn’t diverse enough. The story of the rise of David, a shepherd boy, into a hero, a king and one of the great religious lyricists, is a phenomenal drama that Hollywood has fumbled again and again. For different reasons. 1951’s ‘David and Bathsheba’ was the typical clunky overdramatized spectacle of the era […]
The story of the Trump administration’s detention of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national at Georgetown University, for having ties to the terror group Hamas can be found here: “US seeks to deport pro-Palestinian Georgetown University student,” Reuters, March 20, 2025: US President Donald Trump’s administration has detained an Indian man studying at Washington’s Georgetown University and […]
While both Egypt and Jordan initially rejected President Trump’s plan for Gaza, according to which both countries would take in more than two million residents of Gaza who would leave the Strip while its reconstruction was going on, it seems that Egypt is now willing to take in half a million Gazans “temporarily.” More on […]
The IDF, having endured a series of rejections by Hamas of extending the first phase of the hostages-for-criminals deal, finally had had enough, and on March 17, waves of IAF planes attacked Hamas targets in Gaza. Hamas claims that 404 people were killed, including “dozens of children,” and 600 were wounded. There is no reason […]
In an earlier article, I wrote about a report I had completed looking at statements coming from various leaders in the Muslim American community that were hostile toward Jews and Christians, the United States and Israel, and supportive of terrorists and terrorist organizations.[1] In this article I am focusing on particular statements made by seven […]
