Here’s an interesting piece at Loonwatch on anti-Muslim blogger Robert Spencer’s latest excursion into extreme right wing European politics: Robert Spencer: Teaming up with Euro-Supremacists Again. And yes, I do mean “anti-Muslim” — Spencer long ago crossed the line from simply criticizing radical Islamists to relentlessly demonizing all Muslims. And ...

Little Bulldogs has an excellent post exposing the relentless anti-Muslim bigotry of the owner of Jihad Watch: Fisking Robert Spencer. I wrote on Monday how MPACUK was trying to turn the peaceful praying of a few thousand Muslims at Capitol Hill into a political event. Now it’s the turn ...
The anti-Islam blogs have been hyperventilating for months over the case of Rifqa Bary — a Muslim teenager who converted to Christianity, ran away from home, and found a new home with a radical fundamentalist Christian preacher, Blake Lorenz of the “Global Revolution Church.” People like Pamela Geller and Robert ...

More information has come out about Robert Spencer’s association with the extremist bigots of the Christian Action Network, and the aborted meeting with the English Defense League from which he’s now desperate to distance himself: The EDL Dines Alone. I recently posted a couple of blog entries (here and ...

Since Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer has called me a liar — again — for reporting that he was hanging out with the bigots of the Christian Action Network and the English Defense League, here’s a post at Bartholomew’s Notes that illustrates — again — just how disingenuous Spencer can be: ...

Once again, an anti-Islam protest (marketed as “anti-Islamic extremism”) in Britain by the “English Defense League” (a gang of skinheads, racists, and soccer hooligans with connections to the BNP, although they’re now squabbling) has resulted in a riot in Birmingham: Anti-fascists clash with right-wing protesters in Birmingham. [Video] And ...

Robert Spencer is mixing it up with Michael J. Totten and Mary Madigan at Totten’s pad. Totten asks Spencer a good question about his announced participation in the “Pro-Koln” conference — a question I’ve brought up as well: If the nutjobs in Cologne did nothing but invite Pamela, why ...

Michael J. Totten answers an attack from anti-Islam zealot Andrew Bostom: Arguing for Uncertainty. Andrew Bostom – pal of Robert Spencer and the deranged Pamela Geller – bizarrely accuses me of being an uninformed dogmatist for publishing a “roseate view” of Iraq, even though my article in question was ...

Michael J. Totten calls out Robert Spencer for a particularly uninformed comment about Iraq: We Are Not at War with Nouri al-Maliki. Robert Spencer, founder and lead writer for Jihad Watch, has a bit of trouble telling the difference between friend and foe in Iraq and still thinks, despite ...

An American Library Association panel discussion on Islam has been canceled, after three of the four panelists refused to participate with anti-Islam blogger Robert Spencer. On July 7th, a group of nine members sent the ALA an open letter regarding Robert Spencer’s participation. This led to the withdrawal of Dr. ...

Several emails from a supporter of the “Pro-Köln” group in Germany provide a revealing (if disturbing) glimpse into the mindset of the people who are drawn to these fascist groups. Obscenities are left intact to give you the full experience. (To recap, “Pro-Köln” is the group of neo-Nazi-linked “anti-jihadists” that ...

The leader of the fascist British National Party, Nick Griffin, makes his agenda very clear in this video clip, from a meeting of “white nationalists” in America in 2000. Standing next to Griffin: former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Keep in mind as you watch: this is exactly the ...

The gathering of extreme right wing Eurofascist groups (including representatives from Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and France’s Front National) billing itself as the “Pro-Köln Anti-Islamization Congress” wrapped up their event today, with another miserable failure. They promised thousands of supporters would show up, but on the last day the total was ...

The gathering of Eurofascist groups (including representatives from Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and France’s Front National) billing itself as the “Pro-Köln Anti-Islamization Congress” had another disastrous day today, with only around 150 demonstrators showing up (many from Belgium and the Czech Republic) — vastly outnumbered by about 4,000 counter-demonstrators: Colorful Cologne ...

The first day of the “anti-Islamization” conference in Köln, Germany, was an utter disaster for the pro-Köln and pro-NRW groups; only about 80 people showed up at the pro-NRW demonstration in Dormagen, and only 60 at the pro-Köln demonstration in Leverkusen. There were more counter-protesters than anti-Islam protesters in ...

Oddly enough, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, and Gates of Vienna have absolutely nothing to say about Bruce Bawer’s piece on the meltdown of the anti-jihad movement into a puddle of stinky fascist goo. Their normal response to criticism is to rant, rave, and spew insults, usually within minutes of such ...

Bruce Bawer, author of While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within and Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom, has issued an unequivocal denunciation of the so-called “anti-jihad” bloggers and writers who are advocating alliances with European fascist parties such as Belgium’s Vlaams Belang. With Bruce’s permission, ...

Mary Madigan has a very good post on the recent revelation that Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller were planning to attend a meeting of the fascist “Pro Köln” group in Germany: Nazis. I hate these guys. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. When Leftists tolerated and ...

Dave Weigel takes a few shots at me today, by digging up some old LGF posts (I’m getting used to this technique, from all sides): The Washington Independent » A Blast from Charles Johnson’s Past. The posts in which I linked to Pamela Geller were from a different time, before ...

Gegenkritik has a post on the confrontation over Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller’s now-canceled participation in the “pro-Köln” meeting in Germany, with important context on the political background that makes this issue so complex: German conditions. Recently, there has been a major confrontation in the American blogosphere with Charles ...

Since Robert Spencer posted a veiled threat today to attack me physically (quote: “Buckley’s sage advice to Gore Vidal comes to mind at this point”), here’s an interesting article that deals with what Spencer calls Buckley’s “sage advice:” Ego & Argument — The Happy Warrior: William F. Buckley, Jr. Note ...

Robert Spencer says he won’t attend the Pro Koln conference of Eurofascists, after waffling on it and smearing me for days with insults and ad hominem attacks. (Attacks that continue today.) Meanwhile, at the website of Pro Koln, they still say Spencer is going to be the main speaker. This ...

Since Robert Spencer is posting claims from “Pro Koln” organizer Manfred Rouhs that he has no neo-Nazi connections and is not an extremist, here’s a little tidbit of information that might put a crimp in Spencer’s apologetics. Manfred Rouhs is the owner and editor of the website nation24.de. Among other ...

The pro-fascist German website pi-news.net is now claiming that I “forged” the photograph of Filip DeWinter with Markus Beisicht of the “Pro Koln” group: Translated version of http://www.pi-news.net/. This is an outrageous lie. In my previous post, I linked to the site where I found the picture, through Google Images: ...

David T at Harry’s Place gets the point: Pro Köln is a Fascist Organisation. Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has been reporting on an ‘anti-Islamisation’ conference organised by Pro Köln, which is the successor to the neo-fascist “Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat“. We expect fascists to use ...
