A question of agency in Islam with Robert Spencer

As some of you may know, I started a Substack to allow for some different materials and ideas to be published with also the hope that a few people might get a paid subscription as a few have mentioned they would like to support this work, but are allergic to PayPal. Substack has an excellent solution for this.

Anyway, so far the focus of the Substack has been to revive older videos I either shot myself, subtitled with the awesome team from Gates of Vienna, or just saved over the last 16 years or so that have been removed from the net and are now perhaps even more relevant and important than they were then. The problem with being too far ahead of the curve on a topic like leftism or Islam, is that the average sleeper cannot take it seriously since its effects aren’t within the 50mm focal length of the average human eye sight.

Since October 7th people seem to be a lot more willing to consider the issue of Islam than they were on October 6th though.

In 2016, ACT4Canada brought Robert Spencer to a secret location in Montreal, (yes it was already so bad in 2016 that you couldn’t have a gentle and scholarly critic of Islam speak publicly) to give a talk on the nature of Islam. Of course that has as far as I know, been removed from the internet.

The talk and full Q&A is available at the Substack post linked here. But below is one question to Robert from that talk on the Islamic view of agency, which I personally think is one of the most critical aspects of the difference between Islamic thought and Western Judeao-Christian-Greco-Roman thought. In other words, who do muslims blame for events and why? Especially when it comes to criticism of Islam, and women on sexual matters.

Robert’s answer is very important. And again, the whole talk and Q&A is linked here.

  1. It’s a great thing that Islam is out there, demonstrating, Allahu/Akhbarring, Palestinian garments and flags.

    They have quite a recruitment network out of colleges, they brainwash low-IQ Infidels who, in turn, recruit friends and families.

    Sympathy might be turning against them as people see and feel their dangerousness.

  2. NPR, 2006:
    This is how staggeringly pointless the killing in Iraq is getting: shepherds in the rural western Baghdad neighborhood of Gazalea have recently been murdered, according to locals, for failing to diaper their goats.

    Apparently the sexual tension is so high in regions where Sheikhs take a draconian view of Shariah law, that they feel the sight of naked goats poses an unacceptable temptation. They blame the goats.
