International experts in "Facing Jihad" symposium speak in Jerusalem

MK Dr. Arye Eldad's Facing Jihad education conference was held in Jerusalem at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center on Sunday.
The conference had the participation of notable speakers like controversial Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, Professor John Lewis of Duke University, Sudanese former slave / now Christian freedom-fighter Simon Deng, the redoubtable Dr. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, Palestine Media Watch executive director Itamar Marcus, Dr. Davi Bukay, and others. Despite the lack of mainstream media attention, several bloggers have been following it.

An international conference like no other was held in Jerusalem Sunday. The conference, called Facing Jihad, organized by MK Aryeh Eldad, dealt with the current world wide threat posed by Islamic holy war, Jihad, and what can be done about it. Dutch MP Geert Wilders was also present, and the attendees watched a screening of his famous short film, Fitna.

”Islam is an ideology,” Wilders told Israel National News. “It rules everything, not only from birth to death but everything in between, everything in the life. So I believe Islam should not be compared with Judaism or Christianity, but with other totalitarian ideologies like communism or fascism. This what we are dealing with.”

Wilders added: “Your fight against Jihad is our fight against Jihad. It’s not a territorial conflict. It’s an ideological conflict.”
Watch the knowledgeable, American counter-jihad expert, Dr. John Lewis (Visiting Associate Professor of Political Science, Duke University) explains the goals and tactics of the "Islamic totalitarian state-ism" movement. (Sequential segments all follow Robert Spencer's repeated :20 second intro).

  1. I was fascinated by Dr. Lewis's analysis and listened to all 4 of the parts that were posted. Is the rest of his presentation available anywhere?

  2. Thanks, it's fixed now.

    The full-length documentary "Obsession-Radical Islam's War Against the West" is available free to watch on cable TV's Video-on-Demand channel, Shalom TV this month.

    On Time Warner cable, it's on Channel 1, under the "Lifestyle" menu heading. It is also on Comcast and other cable systems.

    Please encourage all your family and friends to watch it and open their minds - Islam isn't Islamism which should be recognized and checked.

    Good video. FREE Partij voor de Vrijheid! The Koran shouldn't be banned. Mein Kampf isn't a 'Holy Book', but it shouldn't be banned either, but you should be able to criticize it and the idiots who agree with it.

    As many sane people know, Geert Wilders is NO racist. He is simply against out-of-control immigration; and against immigrants who won't assimilate; and the ones who beat Gays and rape non-Muslim women for not being covered up. He is also very much against the ones who kill their own daughters and sisters for their 'family honor'.

    absurd thought -
    God of the Universe says
    don't criticize religions

    just use Christian words
    substitute for Islam's words

    here's an absurd thought -
    your Supreme God knew
    Jesus as a pedophile

    and a raping terrorist
    converting slaves by the sword

    Muslims are not a 'race' anyway, they are followers of a religion/ideology and its Sharia Law. Most Muslims aren't even Arabs, which by the way, is also not a 'Race'.

    But their duty is, according to their Koran, to spread Sharia law over the whole Earth. It might take 100-200 years, if they succeed.

    Is that the kind of world we want for our great-grand childrens' great-grand children? A Taliban Planet? I bet not. Muslims are the biggest victims of Islam. Wilders is NOT against Muslims, he is against Islamic Fundamentalism.

    We all should read the Koran, but be careful, for some strict Islamists prohibit non-Muslims from having or holding one. Also, it is only 'official' in Arabic, and some Muslims say Non-Muslims can't understand it. I wonder why.

    This is BIG, this is REAL BIG! SPREAD THE WORD to the world everyone! The EU Mandarins have crossed the line! If this goes to court, how much more of the public will become aware of this tyranny?
    All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. If there is no freedom of speech, then there can be no real freedom.

    The Christians and Jews don’t riot when somebody makes fun of Christ or Jews. People must learn to be civilized, and held to account when they are not. Muslims included.

    Geert Wilders is a hero spreading the painful truth. He MUST be protected!

    Christians are a race

    who love the Jewish race
    and the peaceful Buddhist race

    outlaw self-defense

    exposing violent crimes

    decide to change your race

    just simply change religions
    your religion is your race
