[00:01:36] Speaker D: Welcome back to another edition of Dangerous Laughter. It's our election day special here today.
I think we might, depending upon what happens, we might be live soon, maybe the next episode. Live from the Caliphate. And I know my next guest is going to love that. He's going to love living in a caliphate. That'll be the new. The new name of the show, Live from the Caliphate with A.J. rice. My next dangerous guest once wrote a book, I you not, ladies and gentlemen, that was used 24 years ago as a weapon to slay liberals in graduate school by me. That's right. I hit a few of them in the face with it. He is the director of Jihad Watch and the shman fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom center, author of 32, 33, 34 books. Each time he releases one, radical Islam finds him more and more lovable. His most recent book, the Tragedy of Islam, Failure and Excuses. We. We see a lot of those out there. Now, ladies and gentlemen, one of the smartest people I know and America's favorite infidel. Robert Spencer, everybody.
Robert, this has been a long time coming. Me and you, I mean, you,
[00:02:52] Speaker E: we had a
[00:02:52] Speaker D: relationship before we even knew each other.
[00:02:56] Speaker E: That's right. Yeah. We knew each other before we met, before we ever heard of each other's name. It's really amazing.
[00:03:03] Speaker D: So I walked into East Stroudsburg State University in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania with a copy of Islam Unveiled, slapping some of the libs around the. The, you know, the. The lily white linguine spine libs that were in there defending, you know, that we might have, you know, we might have triggered September 11th ourselves and, you know, American imperialism and all the rest of it. I am currently here.
You know me. And it sounds like, based on what I've read, I know you similarly. I mean, you started decades before I did. But the only reason I'm here today, and I'm not even supposed to be here today, to quote clerks, is because I changed my entire career because of September 11, 2001. I was on, you know, I was in a liberal arts program at Penn State.
You know, Penn State, when it was boring, before we got all the cocaine there. I don't know what happened. I missed out on the cocaine at Penn State, so. And I, I was gonna, like, go get a master of fine arts and Creative writing. And I was studying film and all the rest of it.
And then Bin Laden showed up, him and his boys in their dirty night shirts with their box cutter. And I was sort of changed, and I've been changed ever since. So what did I do? I went into Amazon.com and I started reading you and reading Bernard Lewis and reading, you know, Pipes and, you know, you know, everyone that was writing this stuff. Then obviously there's more Robert Spencer copycats out there now, but. But, I mean, that was. That was really your first book, right? Islam Unveiled.
[00:04:42] Speaker E: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[00:04:45] Speaker D: So how did you.
And. Look, you and I. Full disclosure, I've worked as Robert's publicist, and I've set him up to, you know, get into duels with people like Dave Smith, the great expert of history.
And, you know, I. Some of the stuff that I. I found out over the last week about you, I didn't really know. So everyone knows Robert. We got Jihad Watch. We have his books. I want you to give us the Robert Spencer origin story. What's the origin story? Because I. I found out about your parents and the Ottoman Empire, and I didn't know that much about that.
[00:05:21] Speaker E: Yeah, that's all. That's all out there.
What can I tell you that's not out there? I was going to be the next great novelist myself.
[00:05:27] Speaker D: There you
[00:05:27] Speaker E: go. I'm gonna be the Tolstoy, the Victor Hugo, the Jorge Luis Borges, although he didn't really write novels. Anyway, I was going to be the next great fiction writer.
In the 90s, I was starting to consult with some organizations privately about Islam because it had always been an interest coming out of my family history. And I knew about it. And people started to want to know about it at that time because there was the Kovar towers bombing, the USS Cole, some things before that. And so after 9 11. I had never intended to write about this, but I was asked to do so by one of my clients that I was consulting for and ended up writing Islam Unveiled. And then that one did well, far beyond any expectations I had ever had, and so ended up writing more. And now this is what I do.
[00:06:31] Speaker D: Now. You have a Greek Orthodox background, is that right?
[00:06:35] Speaker E: Yeah, that's right.
[00:06:36] Speaker D: And your parents were from, you know, a Grecian area of Turkey, and your.
And your. Your or your grandparents were.
[00:06:45] Speaker E: Yeah,
[00:06:46] Speaker D: right. So they. They left the Ottoman Empire. What. I mean, what year was that? Well, was it still the Ottoman Empire? Was it Turkey then?
[00:06:52] Speaker E: It was still the Ottoman empire. It was 1916.
[00:06:56] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:06:57] Speaker E: Yeah.
And my family was from Kimi, or what's now known as Chesme, on the western coast of Turkey, of what is now Turkey. It was the Ottoman Empire then, and Greek Christians had lived there from time immemorial. I mean, you're talking about an area that goes back to Homer and. Right. The Iliad and the Odyssey and all
[00:07:24] Speaker D: that.
[00:07:24] Speaker E: It's a little bit south of Troy, you know, and so that's where my family was from. I remember my grandmother actually is the only person besides Barack Obama who I have ever heard say that the call to prayer, the Islamic call to prayer was this beautiful sound. And she would tell me about how she would hear it in the morning, and she always loved to hear it and tell me a lot of other stories about how wonderful it was to grow up there. And so then I would say, well, why then did you leave? And that became a little bit more of a thorny question.
She and my grandmother would say, we were exiled. And actually, my grandmother's family came in 1918, a couple years after my grandfather's family. And they both said they were exiled. And when I would ask them, why on earth were you exiled? Were you outlaws? You know, were you sentenced to something like the Australian. The people who settled Australia were all convicts. No.
And they wouldn't really tell me what had happened, so I wanted to know and started to study it. And that leads you right into Islam.
[00:08:39] Speaker D: Exactly. We're talking to Robert Spencer, my buddy two decades now. Robert, me and you, okay, we're like Laverne and Shirley. Well, a Vernon Shirley here. The tragedy of Islam. I've got it right here.
Failures and excuses. You know, it's funny, when I went into that graduate level class with a liberal arts background, and I can quote, you know, everything from Gilgamesh to Hemingway and T.S. eliot and all the rest of it, Rudyard Kipling, I was carrying that around, believe me. I was speaking of Turkey and, you know, the Byzantine Empire.
I stood up during one of these classes, got in trouble for this, and I wrote one word on the board, and the one word was Constantinople. And I asked the little brains, the little bowls full of mush that were filling the. The classroom, I said, where is this?
Where did this go?
Can someone tell me where this went?
Did Islam just pop up out of the ground in the middle of Anatolia? Or did it come from somewhere and invade somewhere where it wasn't wanted?
Right, Robert? I mean, this is. This is the point, right?
[00:09:49] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. You know, you remind me. I remember back in the 90s, I came across this thing at A museum. I've looked for it ever since and never seen it again. But it was a brochure, probably in a museum in New York City, because I lived there. And it explained it had some Egyptian artifacts and explained that these are from the period when Egypt was predominantly Christian, before Christianity in Egypt gave way to Islam. And I thought that's a really nice, delicate
[00:10:24] Speaker D: way
[00:10:25] Speaker E: of violent conquest and the bloody suppression of the native people.
And that's really how we were all taught that it happened, that Islam kind of arose and spread because people thought it was wonderful. And nobody was. That's
[00:10:42] Speaker D: right, it was. It was
[00:10:43] Speaker E: that Islam spread by the sword, as it is said and often denied. But the historical facts are unmistakable.
[00:10:51] Speaker D: That's right. It just popped up out of the ground in Medina like tulips. This is two. And it did. Christian Syria went away, and this one went away, and that went away. And the Chaldeans and the Assyrians and the Maronites and. And all. They're all. They all just, you know, voluntarily jumped on the scimitar.
I mean, so let's bring. Let's. And we'll get back to some more history here in a second. Because I've always said, and maybe I'm quoting you, I don't know. I've always said that the goal is to make the Mediterranean a Islamic lake.
A lake. Right. I don't know whether I subconsciously yank that from something you wrote or someone else, Horowitz or somebody, but the reality is that we're seeing that now, aren't we?
[00:11:35] Speaker E: Yeah, we're certainly seeing it.
It's all, of course, part of the larger imperative which encompasses the whole world. But this all started what we're seeing in Europe in the 1970s, actually, when the oil crisis hit. And the European Commission was deeply afraid that they would lose reliable sources of oil and this would plunge Europe into poverty. And so they made a series of agreements with the Arab League and the great historian Batya Orr, who's never really gotten credit for uncovering all this. She is the one who deserves the credit and deserves the credit for a great deal more. In fact, she's the pioneering scholar of Dimitude, the institutionalized subjugation of non Muslims in Islamic law. But anyway, she uncovered these agreements and shows that the European Commission agreed to allow Arab migration into Europe.
[00:12:37] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:12:37] Speaker E: On a massive basis with. Without assimilation. The Europeans actually explicitly agreed not to do anything to try to make these Muslim Arabs into Europeans. And so they would not ask them to adopt European values, certainly not ask them to adopt Christianity. Which the Europeans were busy discarding themselves. And so these people came in and the exchange was that Europe would get oil at reasonable rates and, and allow this immigration. And then these enclaves started to grow where Islamic law was enforced. And the more they grow, the more they come into conflict with the larger society, which is exactly what we're seeing now.
[00:13:20] Speaker D: We had the, the phony Saddam oil for food program. This, this thing sound. It was the oil for Jihad program because let's, let's look at. Chris, Grab the, grab, Grab the tape with this. I love this tape. Let's look at the fruits that have come from what Robert just described here. Give me the France, the France video here.
Oh, look at that.
It's great.
We just want a better education, Robert.
[00:13:53] Speaker E: Yeah, you know, you don't see it in this. I, I just think I just went one.
But they're holding Palestinian flags, Tunisian flags, Morocco and Algerian flag.
And why would they do that if they are just French students who want to be French and who just want better education and better standard of living? Why the flags from their native countries?
[00:14:16] Speaker D: Correct.
[00:14:17] Speaker E: They are saying we are not French and they represent very different values.
And the longer France ignores that and denies it, as Macron has done, the more this problem is just going to recur until France ultimately becomes a response.
[00:14:32] Speaker D: That's right. And ladies and gentlemen, this video, what you're looking at here from not that long ago, this is how you vote for your own beheading, right, Robert? Isn't that what you're. You're doing here? Vote for your own beheading?
[00:14:45] Speaker E: These guys are mostly the children of. They're either new arrivals themselves or they're the children of people who arrived in France since the 1970s.
[00:14:57] Speaker D: Right.
[00:14:57] Speaker E: Or the grandchildren even at this point. And so a lot of them, you know, a lot of people say we need mass deportations now. And then others point out it wouldn't even help, or it might help to some degree. But you got a lot of these guys born in France. The problem is they're born in France, but they're not French. They don't consider themselves to be French. They consider themselves to be Muslims, part of the global uma, the Islamic community worldwide that supersedes all national allegiances. And chapter three, verse 110 of the Quran says you were the best of people raised up for mankind, while chapter 98, verse 6 says you're the. The unbelievers are the most vile of created beings. So they have been raised to think that they are the best people on earth. And they are better than the French, superior to the French who were the most vile of created beings. No wonder they treat France and its laws and its customs and its culture with such open contempt. And now violence.
[00:15:55] Speaker D: That's right. We're talking to Robert Spencer. His new book, the Tragedy of Islam. Failure and excuses. We're going to take a quick break.
Always remember, ladies and gentlemen, our job here is to transform horror into humor. I am AJ Rice. We'll be back on the other side. The curse is the fact that I think they're willing to die on the Bearded Lady Hill. Who is
[00:16:17] Speaker F: cursed. Are we cursed as Americans that we have had to accept and bow to bearded ladies? Or is the Democratic Party cursed because they are handcuffed to communism, socialism
[00:16:28] Speaker D: and abortion? I don't think they can escape this. If you think about the 2024 election, it was only about 6% of the people that were undecided. And it really didn't come down to Democrat. Republican didn't come down to Fox News versus MSNBC or the Wall Street Journal versus York Times. It came down to sanity versus insanity. You had people in the public school system that had never really thought that their public school, their government funded school, would send Tim and Jim into the bathroom with their daughter or allow Larry to run their daughter over on a lacrosse practice or field hockey practice. And this is the curse. Because they cannot shake it. They're never going to be able to convince the American people that they're 72 genders. They're not. And therein lies. Yeah, curse.
[00:17:12] Speaker G: You should be women.
And yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.
[00:17:19] Speaker H: Someone once said comedy
[00:17:21] Speaker G: is the art of turning horror into humor. That's the essence of the curse of the Bearded Lady.
[00:17:27] Speaker I: Laughing in the face of
[00:17:29] Speaker G: madness before it devours us whole.
[00:17:33] Speaker I: Nothing in living memory has been funnier or more horrifying than a movement convinced there are 72 genders. Boys have a penis. Girls have a
[00:17:44] Speaker J: vagina.
[00:17:45] Speaker G: The curse of the Bearded Lady. The curse of the Bearded
[00:17:49] Speaker J: Lady.
The Trans Mafia has whipped America's sanity.
It's Monty Python by way of Mengele. Absurd theater
[00:17:57] Speaker K: with real victims.
[00:18:00] Speaker J: I'm not here to conduct a medical examination of the Transition Mafia.
This is a
[00:18:06] Speaker I: cultural autopsy. If Billy
[00:18:08] Speaker J: Shakespeare could write tragedies, histories and comedies, why can't I? The radicals refused to surrender their gender mad stranglehold on America's vital institutions.
This book will show how we got here,
[00:18:24] Speaker L: how we fight back,
[00:18:25] Speaker J: and how the Democratic Party's obsession with mainstream the
[00:18:30] Speaker M: Bearded lady will doom it
[00:18:33] Speaker J: to political extinction.
[00:18:39] Speaker N: Stay locked in with the man who slayed the Woking dead.
This is dangerous. Laughter with A.J. rice on the Publius Media Network,
[00:19:01] Speaker O: It.
[00:19:46] Speaker D: Wow. So, you know, you got these leftists and she's saying, oh, we supported you. Why are you doing this to me?
Because you are still the infidel. This is dangerous. LAUGHTER we're talking to Robert Spencer. We are live today, Election day, from the caliphate. We'll find out, you know, what part of the caliphate will be in soon enough. I'm assuming Robert Spencer's new book, the Tragedy of Islam. What you were watching there in France, you know, your classic leftist. Robert, in the last segment, said, they stopped.
There's something you said, you know, kind of, you know, briefly, I want to go back to. You said that, you know, France and other Western European countries, they stopped, you know, with following Judaism. They stopped going to church. They started replacing it with, I'm sure, you know, postmodernism and Derrida and Foucault and Jacques Lacan and all the rest of the nonsense. And they welcomed them in and there they are, Robert, there's a. There's a woman wacko. I'm sure, you know, it could have been a Lindsay Clancy juror if she was here.
I'm sure, I'm sure. And she. What are you doing this? I mean, they injected themselves with a little Magic Johnson. Right?
[00:20:56] Speaker E: Well, you know, it's. It's interesting. It was widely reported. I don't know. I've also seen it denied, so I'm not saying it's necessarily so. But she was reported to be a leftist, a supporter of the far left in France, supporting the mass migration. But one thing is certain. Notice that she keeps telling them this is not the cause. That's right.
She thinks the cause is probably what the French media is saying, that they want better schools, that their standard of living is low. I actually had a guy tell me here that the French have been oppressive and discriminatory toward the Muslims in France. And so they're lashing out at their lack of opportunity when in reality they're looting the store.
Because the Quran says that you. That you fight the non Muslims until they pay the jizya, the tax. And many Muslim clerics. I have quotes on this at Jihad Watch. They have said over the years that if the non Muslims are not paying the jizya, they still owe you. They owe you your upkeep. That's the natural order of things, that the non Muslims pay for the Muslims. And so they are taking what they think is rightly theirs, that what the non Muslims possess belongs to the Muslims and they can take it when they want.
[00:22:17] Speaker D: That's right. It reminds me of AOC when they were in Manhattan after the patron saint of Fentanyl, George Floyd, died, where they're. They're busted into Tesla stores and Apple stores and Louis Vuitton and Van Cleeap Arpels and all the rest of it. She's saying they're just stealing bread. They're just stealing bread. It's theirs. How dare you. You know, the great bartender who wants to be president. So, so let's get into this book, the Tragedy.
Spencer's got a catalog that I am envious of. It's. That's all those books behind him. He wrote all those.
And look, you've been. Some of your titles have been dramatic, some have been poetic, some have been sarcastic. You know, Confessions of an Islamophobe and all the rest of it. So let's talk about the Tragedy of Islam. Failure and excuses. And I've been going through it here.
Why? Because you're now at a point, because you've studied this for so long, where you're able to narrow, you're able to go in on root causes. And also what you do in this is you, you get into why, as you saw there with that dummy in the video, why has some of the, you know, even on the American right, and we've talked about this, me and you, why has this been turned into something fashionable?
[00:23:36] Speaker E: Well, you know, I think that it's part of, in the.
Part of the overall phenomenon of thinking that anything Western, anything Christian and anything white. And of course, I'm not trying to say some racist thing and people are going to say, oh, you're a racist, but you're. The fact is, what I am noting is, is that the phenomenon I'm talking about is against people who are white. That is not to say that we should be white supremacist or something like that. It's just a fact that they turn against everything that happen. That that is characterizes Western civilization. That is the civilization of Europe and North America. Now the left has done this for years and now the right is joining in. And I think that it comes from a certain kind of guilt and it's guilt over success that both the left and the right in the west think, well, the west is so successful and we have given the whole world the idea of a republic, the idea of representative government, the idea of government that is moral and not some kleptocracy that stands. Steals from its people and oppresses them. The I all so many things, it all comes from the West. The United nations is the. Is a Western idea. And pretty much everything that characterizes the global order today comes out of the West. So a lot of people in the west think, well, you know, we, that's, that's racist in itself. And we have to understand that all cultures are equal and all religions are equal and they teach values that might be different, but not none of them are better or worse than the others. And we have to recognize, in order to assuage some of our guilt over our fantastic success, we have to recognize these other cultures and religions is just as good as our own. And so you go to Islam and you have this violent, intolerant, rapacious, expansionist, supremacist, bloodthirsty culture. And people say, well, isn't that wonderful? Because it's everything that they have that, that they have identified as good. It's non white, at least in the popular parlance. Of course, there are a lot of white Muslims in Europe, Eastern Europe and elsewhere.
[00:26:01] Speaker D: All of a sudden
[00:26:02] Speaker E: it's non Western. And so it must.
[00:26:05] Speaker D: Well, something. And I know you and him probably didn't agree on certain things, but one thing Pap Buchanan used to say is not all civilizations are created equal.
[00:26:14] Speaker E: Yep.
[00:26:15] Speaker D: Not all cultures are created equal for the same reason. Robert and I can't be the starting guards for the New York Knicks. Right.
[00:26:22] Speaker E: Yep.
[00:26:22] Speaker D: It's just a fact. Not everyone gets a trophy.
And you know, there's shame.
I think there's shame. Oh, we invented the printing press and penicillin and the, the, you know, the this and that. What, whatever it is.
Right.
It's. We all have to take ourselves down a notch.
[00:26:43] Speaker E: Yeah. And that's what's in the book, A large part of the book. Because Islam actually in reality has a pathetic record of non achievement. And Western non Muslims have invented this whole idea of the Islamic golden age and they have just made it up out of nothing. There was this book 27. When was that,
[00:27:03] Speaker D: Robert? When was the golden age of Islam, the abacus?
A lot of
[00:27:07] Speaker E: people think of it as Muslim Spain, medieval Andalus. And there was a book, the Ornament of the World by Maria Rosa Menocal, who was a scholar who was saying that this was this wonderful paradise of multiculturalism where Jews, Christians and Muslims all lived together and respected each other. In reality, the Jews and Christians were subjugated institutionalized discrimination of Islamic law. They never had equal rights. And Al Andalus was the center of the slave trade.
[00:27:38] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:27:38] Speaker E: Muslims would go in and take human beings from the Christian and Jewish communities and sell them into slavery on a scale much larger than Western slavery ever was. And
[00:27:49] Speaker D: they were
[00:27:50] Speaker E: North America,
[00:27:50] Speaker D: and they were also bringing sub Saharan Africans there to put them on boats.
[00:27:54] Speaker E: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I
[00:27:55] Speaker D: mean, so what Robert's talking about is Iberia, which would be Portugal and Spain and the. The jewel, the Islamic Golden Age. And Andalusia, which I think is in southern Spain, I believe, made famous for Zorro's horse. The black horse is a black Andalusian horse.
In the year, I believe, and Robert will correct me, 7 11, 7 12.
Some, for some reason, Islam showed up there. How did they, how did they wait? This is the great jewel, a place that just, just like Constantinople, they showed up and it took almost 600 years, courtesy of Ferdinand and Isabella, I believe. Right. To eventually get them out of here. And isn't it interesting? And I think Annie McCarthy wrote about this and I've, you know, looked it up.
The blind Shake, who was one of the co conspirators of the 1993 World Trade center attack, I do believe, was quoted. It was like defending himself or something. Right.
He basically quoted the tragedy of Andalusia, that it was a tragedy when the Catholics pushed them out across the Straits of Gibraltar back to Morocco. And he, he listed it as one of the reasons him and Ramsay Yousef tried to blow up the World trade Center in 93.
[00:29:22] Speaker E: There you
[00:29:23] Speaker D: go. That's a long memory, Robert. Wow.
[00:29:26] Speaker E: Yeah. Well, historical memories are very long in the Islamic world and very short in the West.
[00:29:30] Speaker D: And
[00:29:31] Speaker E: so I got a remedy for that right here. The history of Jihad available now. And it discusses, among other things, the conquest of Spain in 7 11. And the reason why I'm going, oh, I was right. I
[00:29:42] Speaker D: was right about. Look at me, I didn't even write the book. I was right. Look at that.
[00:29:46] Speaker E: The, the. There was a Christian who was disgruntled, who loaned his boats to the Muslims so they could get across the Strait of Gibraltar because he was mad at the Gothic, the Visigothic king in southern Spain. Wow. And this is why the Muslims were able to conquer Spain. They couldn't go in their own boats. They had boats, but they couldn't go in their own boats because they were recognized and the Spanish would fire on them. But when this Christian guy's boats are coming up straight, the Christians in Spain think, oh, everything's okay. It's Count Julian's boat.
And it wasn't it was Tariq IBN Ziad, who is the conqueror of Spain and his people. Now, one other thing about Tarek IBN Ziad, he. When he got to Spain, he didn't return the boats. He burned them.
[00:30:43] Speaker D: And he
[00:30:44] Speaker E: did that. I think it was a bit ungrateful of him and ungracious to his pal who had helped him get across. But he didn't care. He was just a Christian. I mean, Tarek Ibn Zia didn't care because the guy's boats. The guy was a Christian who had the boats. But in any case, he burned the boats to show his peop. His. His Muslim warriors. We're not going back. We're going to conquer this place or die. Now, why is that important? A few years back, AJ There was a story out of Minnesota about a charter school that is a school that is privately owned but gets public money, and they were teaching Islam on school property. And they got stopped. It was a controversy, and they closed down and then started up again doing the same thing under a different name, but the name of the school was Tarek IBN Ziad Academy. And
[00:31:32] Speaker D: I.
[00:31:33] Speaker E: In all the coverage of that, nobody ever said, hey, who's Tarek IBN Ziad? And probably everybody in Minnesota assumed, oh, he must be some Muslim educator like John D.
[00:31:44] Speaker D: The mayor of Dearborn. That's
[00:31:45] Speaker E: the guy that burned the boats and said, we're going to conquer this place
[00:31:49] Speaker D: or
[00:31:49] Speaker E: die. And I think, what an interesting name to pick for a Muslim school in Minnesota.
[00:31:55] Speaker D: Yeah, Right next to, you know, Genghis Khan Middle School. I guess this is right next to. Right. Suleiman the Magnificent High School and all the rest.
Right.
So the failures and excuses part. We're gonna take a break in a second.
Yeah, I want to get here. What was their mascot? Flying planes in the buildings. Hey, hey, hey, look out. So, hey, my high school, and we haven't changed it yet, and it's a Catholic high school in the suburbs of Philadelphia, is the Crusaders.
[00:32:28] Speaker E: That's rare.
[00:32:29] Speaker D: Big shout out to the Lansdale Catholic Crusaders. If they try to go in there and change that, believe me, the Irish and the Italians will be knocking on your door. You are not doing that to the Lansdale Catholic Crusade.
[00:32:43] Speaker E: I think it's going to be Suleiman the Magnificent High School Hijackers
[00:32:48] Speaker D: any minute now. Right? Any. Any minute now. So the. The what? Let me ask you a question. When the Islamics. Because this could get funny here. I don't want to get too silly here, but although it is dangerous. LAUGHTER Let me. Let me say what when they point to the great achievements.
Because I think this is the failures and excuses part. What is it like? Can they point to one, you know, exploration. Well, I mean, obviously by the sword, but can they point to one invention?
One. One sort of. What was the. What's the contribution to modern civilization or even, you know, a thousand years ago? Is there anything they can point to from this golden age?
[00:33:28] Speaker E: This is. What is it? Wildest things.
They point to a thousand and one things. As a matter of fact, there is an exhibit, and I discuss it at length in the book called A Thousand and One Inventions. And it's all about how Muslims invented pretty much everything you can think of. You know, coffee and donuts and, and bookshelf. I mean, everything there's. That you can imagine, they made it up. And for example, the. I think this is one of the most ludicrous examples. And so I, I highlighted in the book that this is the first man to fly. Some guy, I forget his name, but a thousand years ago, he strapped wings on his back and jumped off a cliff. He died.
[00:34:19] Speaker D: What. Wait a minute.
[00:34:22] Speaker E: In this thing, this thousand and one inventions that gets top money from governments, from UNESCO, from all these places that want to make people in the west think that Muslims invented everything. They say this is the first man to fly, not the right brothers.
[00:34:40] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:34:40] Speaker E: And I think it's really pathetic because he didn't fly. He might have glided a little bit if there was wind, but then he fell and died, and so nobody followed up either. This is the big problem with all these Muslims invented this and that stories. They didn't do anything with these inventions. If that guy really was the first to fly, why is it that there they didn't start flying? And you don't have Muslims starting to have people strapping wings on their backs and going from city to city. It didn't happen. And it was left to the Wright brothers to figure out how to make an. Make an actual flying machine. And it's the same thing with Copernicus. Copernicus, of course, discovered that it's the Earth that revolves around the sun and not the other way around. That's
[00:35:34] Speaker D: right.
[00:35:35] Speaker E: And that became the foundation for all kinds of additional scientific discoveries and innovations. And it's also supposedly some Muslim 100 years before Copernicus figured this out. But here again, why didn't they do anything with it? Nobody in the Islamic world thought, oh, if the Earth revolves around the sun, well, then this and this and this, like they did in Europe. So it just moves the, it kicks the pathetic down the road. It doesn't really erase it.
[00:36:05] Speaker D: That's right. Chapter 12. The fictional palace of Islamic achievements.
Okay, right from right. The Tragedy of Islam. I think, you know, the guy that invented the. The flying device. I think I saw a graphic of that once. I think it was, you know, a goat with a bunch of palm trees strapped to it that he took off the side of a cliff. I think that's. I think I've seen a picture of that. We're talking to Robert Spencer.
The tragedy of Islam. Failures and excuses. We're going to take a quick break. I am AJ Rice. This is Dangerous Laughter. We will be right back.

[00:37:27] Speaker Q: And now please enjoy another elegant celebrity endorsement of dangerous laughter with A.J. rice.
[00:37:37] Speaker R: A.J. rice. No one wants to hear a voice just like high school. You'll get kicked out of the Preston AV Club like a total freaking loser.
Then he tried to be a DJ but never played Jamiroquai. Your podcast was called Dangerous Laughter.
Only a host with no girlfriends would have a garbage show called that. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
You have less than zero skills. You have minus skills. That's why President Pedro stole your fat, tubby girlfriend.
Do you practice your show talking to me like Batman with a high cholesterol?
Like, good luck with the Dangerous Laughter Podcast is so stupid, not even Uncle Rico will listen to it. Idiots.
[00:38:26] Speaker Q: This endorsement has been brought to you by collapsing standards everywhere. And now back to Dangerous Laughter.
[00:38:35] Speaker N: The management of this station are clueless.
You're listening to dangerous laughter with A.J. rice on the Publius Media Network.
[00:38:48] Speaker D: Back on the DL, I'm A.J. rice. Always remember, comedy is our civic duty, because humor is moral warfare by other means. Which is why, you know, Albert Brooks made that movie. Searching for comedy in the Islamic world, or the Muslim world, wherever the hell it was called. And he found none.
He found. He found no comedy in the Muslim world. Very little, you know. Very little. And if you try to make fun of the mullahs, you have to leave. Just like most places where you have authoritarian dictatorships run by Quranic law. We're talking to Robert Spencer, his book, the Tragedy of Islam, Failures and excuses. I've got that. I've also got, I got the stack, I got the Spencer stack here.
So before the greatest mayor of all time.
This book is called Intifada on the Hudson, the Selling of Zoran Mamdani. And Spencer got this out before New Yorkers decided to vote for their own beheading.
And pretty much you pretty much predicted everything that is going on, right? I mean, let's be honest.
[00:39:51] Speaker E: Well, you know, you gotta hand it to mom Donnie, he's never been deceptive. He has always been upfront about what he's all about. He even said that the Palestinian conflict is why he became a politician. And so in the book I've got all that shows, yeah, this guy, he hates Jews, he hates Israel. This is a fundamental part of his program. And so the second largest, the city in the world with the second largest Jewish population makes him mayor. What did they expect would happen?
[00:40:22] Speaker D: Exactly. And you know, I mean it's, it's an unbelievable thing. And now we've got, you know, people always say, oh, that's not going to play, you know, west of the Hudson River. Well, au contraire. Now we've got little Mom Donnies popping up throughout our politics.
This is of course our election day special live from the Caliphate. And we've got a bunch of members of the caliphate, little Mom Donnies on the ballot. We've got Hassan Piker running around his little Mao outfit. We've got Ilhan Omar. You know, every two years you gotta reelect her and her husband, brother and, and of course Abdul Syed in Michigan. Now back when I was a producer for Laura Ingram and McCaslin and Monica and all the rest of them, I would come to you to try to ask you and I'd use Jihad Watch as a reference point, where did this Abdul Syed come from? This little guy that has brought, I guess he brought Obama in to try to convince all the Detroit Pistons fans to vote for him. I guess that didn't work out as, as of, as of right now. So what? Where did he come from? Because you always know.
[00:41:36] Speaker E: Well, he comes really out of the Muslim Brotherhood that he denies having anything to do with.
His father in law is a Muslim Brotherhood operative. His sister of course is famously said in an uncovered tweet from 2012, My whole family is MB Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood is Baha, is linked to every major Muslim organization in the United States. Abdul Al Said has spoken before the Council on American Islamic Relations and other Muslim Brotherhood linked organizations. The Brotherhood has A very clear political program that involves electing people to offices at all levels and getting them to subvert the American republic from within. It seems very clear on the basis of a large amount of circumstantial evidence that Abdullah Sayed is one of these Muslim Brotherhood operatives.
[00:42:32] Speaker D: Unbelievable. And our, our buddy over at Fox, Brett Baer who had to go to you know, he had to go to the street corner to get an interview. He's you know, standing outside somewhere in Michigan enjoying the falafel. He confronted El Sayed here about the Muslim brotherhood. Chris, give me that. Andrews
[00:42:53] Speaker S: has been really hitting this Muslim brotherhood thing. I know you don't want to talk about your family and the history there, but he goes back,
[00:42:59] Speaker T: he goes back to his.
[00:43:01] Speaker U: No, no no no. Let me just stop there. You are asking this question to raise a question about. I'm not whether or not I have dual loyalty
[00:43:08] Speaker T: specific his campaign of the United States. Thank you.
[00:43:12] Speaker U: And as, as every senator who's ever served, I will swear an oath to that constitution. He
[00:43:18] Speaker V: says
[00:43:19] Speaker U: I'm not interested in any of
[00:43:20] Speaker W: the back and forth
[00:43:22] Speaker U: 2012 statement in a letter. You're going to want to walk. You're going to pull that out of context. You're going to ask questions about my allegiance.
[00:43:28] Speaker V: Let me just be clear. This is Roger, I will swear just asking you about that.
[00:43:31] Speaker U: Don't be Rogers campaign. I'm asking question be a. Be a journalist. So as a journalist if you're asking the question about my allegiance, the constitution. I have never been a member of the Muslim brotherhood. I never will be a member of the Muslim brotherhood.
[00:43:42] Speaker D: Wow, Robert, so what would you have asked him? I mean obviously Brett bears got a job to do. He you know, he doesn't get to be Robert Spencer. No one does except you. What would you have asked him in that confrontation?
[00:43:55] Speaker E: Okay, he said I would swear an oath. I'm going to swear an oath like every other senator to the U. S. Constitution. Great. Sounds good. Now you have also said that you are sharia adherent and sharia and the U. S. Constitution disagree with one another when it came down to. If it ever comes down to you as a senator to choose between sharia and the U. S. Constitution which one wins?
[00:44:19] Speaker D: Exactly. And let me ask you this and I'm gonna you know, I'll pretend to be a dummy here for a second which is easy. Is there any doctrine in Islamic law, the hadiths or the Sharia law that allows for a member of the Muslim brotherhood to lie?
[00:44:38] Speaker E: Yeah. Now see this is very, very Controversial. And a lot of people think, a lot of people actually blame me and say I made this up. But the Islamic sources are clear.
Chapter 3, verse 28 of the Quran says, don't take unbelievers as your friends and protectors in preference to believers. Whoever does this has nothing to do with the law unless you're doing it to guard yourselves against them. Now let's go to a leading Islamic scholar of the 20th century, Maulana Malduti, who wrote a very a multi volume commentary on the Quran. And I'll tell you, AJ sky is mainstream as you can get. I would bet you could not find a single Islamic bookstore in the United States or Europe that doesn't have Malduties books. And he says this means the passage of the Quran about unless you're doing it to guard yourselves against them. That Muslims under pressure can pretend to be on the side of their enemies.
[00:45:37] Speaker D: Ah,
[00:45:38] Speaker E: and there you go. Why not take an oath to uphold a constitution that you have no intention of upholding? You can do that according to the Quran. You've got your other hand on.
[00:45:47] Speaker D: Yeah, I think we're in a place where, you know, especially post Obama, where we're not really going to believe any of this stuff. I mean we're just not. I don't care what you put your hand on, you know, be. And like you just said, and the term is.
Takia.
[00:46:05] Speaker E: Yeah, takia.
[00:46:06] Speaker D: And that is the ability to lie to the infidel if it forwards, you know, Islam. Right.
[00:46:14] Speaker E: People say, oh no, that's only in war. But they don't mention that. The Quran says fight them until persecution is no more and religion is all for Allah. So if our religion is not all for Allah, the war's still on. And they don't mention that because then that would kick in all the things they say, oh no, that's only for wartime.
[00:46:33] Speaker D: Right, right. Let's turn our attention to my, a future member of my harem here.
That would be Ilhan Omar.
She seems like a normal girl. They're a little Somali girl. She's kind of fun, right? She's like the Britney Spears of Minneapolis, you know, or maybe we should, you know, Taylor Swift or maybe modernize that a little bit. Sabrina Carpenter of Minneapolis.
And she was talking to, uh, this goofball, uh, who looks like the fat ugly version of me, uh, on msnbc named Chris Hayes. And this exchange, you gotta, let's do the whole thing, Chris. Because at the end it's just hilarious. We gotta, we gotta get into this. Let's play it
[00:47:15] Speaker X: time he talks about you, he will casually say something wild about you. Like he'll, he will tweet, bill and Omar, she married her brother, blah, blah. You think, you see that? You think to yourself, boy, that sounds odd. I don't. It seems unlikely that she married her brother. There are right wing people who believe that this man was your brother.
You have called it a disgusting lie.
[00:47:36] Speaker Y: Will you. Who, who
[00:47:37] Speaker X: was this man that was your husband? When did they start saying that he was your brother? Why,
[00:47:44] Speaker Z: it started with the Somali blog that I don't know if it still exists, but somebody put in there that, you know, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect. And right wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it and they just kind of went and like found random people who were like, she introduced us, you know, she introduced him to us and said he was her brother, which is, you know, insane. I mean, I don't, I don't know those people that they
[00:48:18] Speaker AA: talk about.
[00:48:18] Speaker X: He was not. You were not related to him at all.
[00:48:21] Speaker AA: Not that there's not some
[00:48:22] Speaker X: weird kernel of truth that threw some damage.
[00:48:24] Speaker Z: Not to my knowledge.
[00:48:27] Speaker D: Hey, every. Robert, you got any married to any brothers or sisters or cousins?
Oh. So let me ask you this. Somali refugees would probably say and do anything on paperwork to get into this country. Am I right?
[00:48:46] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:48:48] Speaker D: What has your, what has your research found about this married to your brother scenario?
[00:48:53] Speaker E: It's so much more evidence. Of course, she has a vested interest in pretending that it's not. There's no evidence other than people claiming to have been introduced to her brother by her. And she says she doesn't know those people. And that's it. She doesn't mention the fact that she was a year older than she is now when she entered Congress and her staff got her age changed in all the official records and they said, it's the Somalis, they don't keep good records. But actually, what the, what's behind that is that she claimed to have come in as a minor under the protection of her father, but she was actually over 18 at that time, so she wasn't actually a minor at all. And so her entry into the country was illegitimate. She doesn't mention that. She also doesn't mention the fact that her father, she called him, what was it? Nurse Saeed in a happy birthday tweet some years ago that she later deleted. Now why would you delete a happy birthday tweet? What's the problem with that? She deleted it because she called him by a Name he does not go by. Now, she says her, her father's name is Noor Omar Muhammad, but she called him Noor Said. Now, why does that matter? Because Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the guy that she married, who is her brother, identified her father. It identified his father as Nur Said.
And when Ilhan Omar's sister had children, he identified the children as his niece and nephew, or nieces, I think two nieces. And so it's very clear that this is indeed the father they both have. And that means the guy is her brother. And it's interesting to note that the search warrant for the raid on her home recently identified her as Ilhan Nursaid Elmi, AKA Ilhan Omar. And she says in that same interview with the fat AJ that the, that the.
Her name is Ilhan Abdulaki Omar. And yet her official name, according to a number of records, is indeed Ilhan Nursayid Almi, which is the same as Ahmed Nursay, her brother.
And it's. Well, there you go. Chris Hayes and I
[00:51:29] Speaker D: are. And Chris Hayes is not my brother and I am not married to him.
You know, he's, he's, you know, a little too thick for me. He's not really my type, you know.
So we're talking to Robert Spencer here. The book is the Tragedy of Islam. Everybody go out, get two copies, get three copies. It's election day. We are live from the Caliphate. And if you're going to live in the caliphate, which we're working on here, you need the books. You need Robert Spencer's books, Intifado on the Hudson. Go back and get the original, the OG book, Islam Unveiled. Can people still get that, Robert?
[00:52:07] Speaker E: Oh, yeah, it's on Amazon.
[00:52:08] Speaker D: Okay, so tell. Explain to the audience before we go what Jihad Watch is and why you do it, what's there.
And, you know, give out the website's full name. I want people to go there because it has been a resource for me for two decades.
[00:52:26] Speaker E: Yeah, Jihad Watch has been out there for 23 years. It is the world's only jihad news site that gives jihad activity all around the world, explains why it's happening, shows what the mainstream media leaves out about the Islamic justifications for the various behavior. Covers jihad not just in terms of violent attacks, but in terms of stealth and subversion, like we see with Ilhan Omar and Abdullah Sayed and Zohran Mandani. And so it's all there. Jihad watch.org updated many times every day.
[00:53:00] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a great resource. I mean, I, you know, I mean, you're you're in dis. You're the indispensable man on this subject, I gotta tell you, sir. So before we go. And I always like to ask authors this, you know, with the tragedy of Islam, what is the one sort of nugget of information distilled down, sort of fact or. Or sort of take from history that is in here that people are not asking you enough about that you want the audience to zero in on
[00:53:29] Speaker E: Islam doesn't work. It's bad for individuals and bad for societies. It promises success in the famous call to prayer that is not broadcast over loudspeakers in Hamtramck, Michigan, and Dearborn and I think Minneapolis as well. It says, come to prayer, come to success, but it doesn't give you success.
It promise. The Quran promises that the believers will prosper in this world as well as the next. And yet it doesn't do that because it doesn't teach that you should work hard. It teaches that you should live off the unbelievers, which is why there's got to be jihad, so you can have unbelievers that you've conquered to live off. And so the whole thing is really kind of a parasitical culture that ultimately kills the host and then has to move on and find a new host.
[00:54:18] Speaker D: And look, it's. It, you know, in 632, it started spreading that way.
14th century, centuries later, here we are, we've got fake Somali daycares being run by Ilhan Omar's brothers and cousins and mothers and fathers. Robert Spencer. I mean, I. What can I say?
I, you know, love talking to you. I'm glad you're here. On Dangerous. Laughter. You need to stay out there. Keep putting those scalps on the wall, my friend. The book, the Tragedy of Islam, Failure and excuses. Thanks for coming on, sir.
[00:54:52] Speaker E: Great Talking with you, A.J. thank you.
[00:54:55] Speaker D: Absolutely. Always remember, ladies and gentlemen, there is no substitute for perfectly timed derision. And always, always remember, this is election day.
Hopefully we are not in the Caliphate tomorrow, but we might be in a. In a minor one, not a. Not a major one. Just remember, if we are going to be in the Caliphate, stay dangerous.
[00:55:17] Speaker A: Dangerous left.
Dangerous.
Danger left.
Dangerous.
LAUGHTER.
Laughter.
