Honestly, I think Robert Spencer IS a little clueless on how the Facebook thing works. Someone mentioned above, and it is so true, that Robert DOES NOT, and never has, advocate(d) genocidal and/or racial hate. If anything, he is trying to sprak initiatives that thwart that kind of behavior, and violence that stems from those outlooks. Anyway, back to my original point - First, my impression is that he is a pretty busy dude. I buy, I absolutely buy that someone who was on his friend’s list invited him, he accepted and then kept moving along through his Facebook emails/invites/whatever else. And, the reason I say he MAY not be so sharp with the Facebook thing is because, well, it took Jihad Watch FOREVER to switch from Type Pad (their commenting host), which was fucking up daily and routinely, to Intensedebate, and Robert has even casually mentioned before that he is no Scholar of the ‘puter. So, yeah, I actually buy his explaination of being careless and slightly computer illiterate.

Robert Spencer has GOOD intentions. The fact that it seems like a lot of folks here are just SO damn quick to pull the trigger on him is rather embarassing and infantile. Robert Spencer has stated OVER and OVER and OVER again that he does not advocate, again, racial supremacism/fascism.

I understand the idea behind questioning everything, and keeping those that we turn to for answers “in check”. But really, this is getting out of control. Charles, he and the posters there may have said hurtful things about you in the midst of this mess, but you, and a lot of the other posters around this site are certainly no saints and are clearly making a strong attempt at defaming him AND discrediting his work. This behavior is truly shameful and it is too bad that it cannot be hammered out in a cohearant and adult-like fashion.
