Listen Later

Dear listeners, My apologies for the delayed release. This past week I have lost a childhood friend as well as a close relative. So I've been traveling, and things have been up in the air for a while. Robert has tweeted about this as some sort of plot to edit him to look bad... I can assure you that the content is pretty much unedited. I usually obsessively remove umms and Ahs.. but i even let most of those be for this episode. I may have taken out some dead air or repeated words, but thats about it. I hope you enjoy! Here are some links discussed in the episode: Robert's take on Reza Aslan (where he refers to Reza as 'Islamic Supremacist boy': https://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/09/national-iranian-american-council-confirmed-as-front-group-for-irans-islamic-regime" Reza Aslan exposed: National Iranian American Council confirmed as front group for Iran’s bloody Islamic regime"--Robert casting further suspicion on Maajid: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/11/muslim-reformist-maajid-nawaz-declares-support-for-muslim-brotherhood-linked-congressman-keith-ellison"Muslim reformist Maajid Nawaz declares support for Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman Keith Ellison”--US bloggers banned from entering UK http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-23064355--EDL isn't as Benign and non-racist as its defenders make it out to be - Here's a clip of Tommy standing with someone shouting "send the black cunts home" and not really objecting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=schEGyZ8K-Q--Article by Cathy Young: "In Pam Geller's world everybody Jihads" http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/10/in-pam-geller-s-world-everybody-jihads.html--Homoeconomicus blog piece on Robert Spencer's Srebrenica genocide denial rebuttal: https://homoeconomicusnet.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/robert-spencer-responds-on-srebrenica/a comment on this piece shows the pg numbers Robert has not cited in his case against the word 'genocide' " SuadaNovember 5, 2013 at 12:44 pmSpencer response shows his acedemic dishonesty and lack of professional integrety. In addition to your points (as you say, he goes far beyond simply qestioning the usage of the term ‘genocide’), Spencer cites Yale Human Rights and Development Law Journal article by Katherine G. Southwick. However, he doesn’t mention what Southwick really says (pp. 193-194);‘In the spring of 1995, the Bosnian Serbs planned to attack Srebrenica definitively. Radovan Karadzić, President of Republika Srpska, issued a directive to the VRS forces to “complete the physical separation of Srebrenica from Zepa as soon as possible, preventing even communication between individuals in the two enclaves. By planned and well-thought out combat operations, create an unbearable situation of total insecurity with no hope of further survival or life for the inhabitants of Srebrenica.” This was an order to ethnically cleanse Srebrenica.
