In case anyone still trusts the mask Robert Spencer wears, consider this:

He has today joined two new Facebook groups.

The first, “CAMPAIGN FOR THE ‘RECONQUISTA’ IN ANATOLIA!” (note the knuckle-dragger “shouting” in all caps), has as its opening paragraph the following:

The official facebook [sic] group for the Reconquest of the Anatolian Penninsular [sic]; a European region in Asia [sic] which is currently being occupied by the illegal Turkish state and [sic] for the humane and peaceable, yet compulsory systematic and wholesale physical repatriation of all Turkish, Arab and Muslim populations living within this area.

The group currently has 315 members, with Spencer being one of the newest.

One of the three videos posted on the group’s page is “The Aryan Nations.” I will not link to it here. Those of you on Facebook can go to the page linked above and see for yourselves. According to the stentorian founder, “ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED.”

The second new group for Spencer is “Citizens’ Declaration of Threat & Plea for Relief”, a more innocuous-looking, but still ominous and blatantly anti-Muslim (not just anti-Islamo-Fascist) page that demands, to pick just two items:

4. That foreign aid to Islamic nations cease and aid to nations influenced by Islam be severely curtailed, except to resist jihad.

Presumably this would include Israel, since with its 10% to 15% Arab-Muslim citizens, it can be said to be “influenced by Islam”.

7. That immigration reforms immediately be implemented to include a suspension of immigration by Muslims for not less than 20 years, exclusive of apostates seeking asylum.

Of the two pages, the first is by far the worst.

I am writing to Spencer for an explanation. Given that he has willingly joined a group that features Nazi propaganda, I’m not expecting it to be positive.
