    “Famous ‘infidel’ offers $5,000 if critic proves error in his book”
    Jul 15, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

    Google immediately complied with Miqdaad Versi’s demand. There was no notice, no appeal, not even the appearance of a fair or even-handed proceeding. Miqdaad Versi is part of a group that Google wishes to appease; I am not. Nor will this be the end: the fascists are closing in. Get your copy of The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran here while you still can.

    “Famous ‘infidel’ offers $5,000 if critic proves error in his book,” WND, July 14, 2019:

    Read more at https://mobile.wnd.com/2019/07/famo...proves-error-in-his-book/#7yqjZjAcpSTqpCYO.99

    A renowned expert on Islam, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch and author of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam” and other works, should be censored by Google, according to an activist.

    The charge comes from Miqdaad Versi, who has been described as a British “Islamic supremacist.”

    So Spencer is offering a challenge: He’ll send Versi a free copy of his book “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Quran,” and if Versi can prove an error of fact in the book, Spencer will send along $5,000.

    It all got started because Versi was angry that Spencer’s work appeared in a Google search.

    It would be odd, however, if any such search for terms such as Islam, Quran or jihad didn’t include him.

    He’s the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He’s written 19 books, including New York Times bestsellers “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades),” “The Truth About Muhammad” and the bestselling “The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.”

    He’s led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army’s Asymmetric Warfare Group, the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Justice Department’s Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council and the U.S. intelligence community.

    As a columnist for several publications, he’s written hundreds of articles that have appeared in publications such as the San Francisco Examiner, the New York Post, the Washington Times, the Dallas Morning News, Fox News Opinion, National Review, The Federalist, The Hill, the Detroit News, TownHall.com, Real Clear Religion, the Daily Caller, the New Criterion, the Journal of International Security Affairs, the U.K.’s Guardian, Canada’s National Post, Middle East Quarterly, WND, First Things, Insight in the News and Aleteia.

    He’s been interviewed by nearly all of the television networks.

    But here’s Versi’s complaint:

    The response from Twitter users might not have been what he wanted.

    Juan Esquivo said: “The problem obviously is that @miqdaad doesn’t want us dirty kuffars reading Robert Spencer’s careful and accurate books. Instead, we should be fed Islamophile propaganda and learn to shut up when our Muslim masters tell us.”

    Another wrote: “You’re right Google must do better. If we lobby hard enough we may be able to get @jihadwatchRS Robert Spencer’s book ‘The Complete Infidels Guide to the Koran’ into the first place on every online book shop. I’m going to buy my copy. I’ve heard it’s a great read. Thx Miqdaad.”

    Spencer’s own reaction was direct: “They can’t refute what I say, so they want me silenced, since my work exposes the grim reality of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of the Quran to justify jihad violence and Shariah oppression.”

    His challenge?

    Other Twitter users claimed there were many errors in the book but failed to offer an example.

    Spencer said that so far, Versi has not responded to his offer.

    “What a surprise!” he wrote.

    Censorship is growing worse all the time. In the past, Conservatives censored words they didn't like - now Liberals are censoring ideas they don't like. Objectivity is becoming harder and harder to
    find.

    I didn't know this bit:
    What the Bible says about Testicles
    He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Deuteronomy 23:1

    better make sure you stay intact..... LOL

    "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property for the support of women. So good women are the obedient,
    guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and whip them." Sura 4, the Koran. Those are the words
    of the Muslim God Allah, as told by his prophet Mohammed.
    Its based on personal experiences with Liberals. I've known and worked with many.

    You must have a weird way of measuring objectivity and liberal.

    Correct but, you left out the most major force behind much of this censorship - our intelligence community.

    If you stepped outside of your 'contemporary' 21st century civilizational box, you would realize that God is warning people that they shouldn't mutilate themselves to please Him. That he would never demand such a thing and that by doing so, they are following a false god.

    Mohammed was a demagogue in that he was telling his followers exactly what they wanted to hear; basically that their contemporary values and standards have the blessings of Allah/God - especially in a Middle East infused with Christianity since it was part of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) - a Christian theocracy.

    It was a relief to the Arabs knowing that Christ was relegated from a Son of God, to a lesser prophet and that their present beliefs and customs reigned supreme in the prophet Mohammed. This meant they were morally superior, and gave them leeway to impose it on the rest of the world - and in whichever way possible including slaughter.

    Kind of reminds one of our own liberal Western impositions and our destruction of others. Everything changes, yet nothing changes.

    yet he says to stone people to death for picking up sticks on the weekend

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+15:32-36&version=KJV

    "
    Numbers 15:32-36 King James Version (KJV)
    32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

    33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

    34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

    35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

    36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.
    "

    just saying, not something a loving God would say imo, a jealous narcissistic God with a fragile ego maybe...

    God being a Pure Creative force cannot negate from what he created. Notice that God told Moses that the man who had worked on the Sabbath; 'shall be surely put to death'. God did not actually say; 'put him to death.' The author attributed it to God, since the people could not understand that their own hearts were stoning him.

    Had that man opened himself up to God and His protective Love, then God might have been able to intervene by changing people's hearts. I say maybe since Saint Stephen was stoned to death and God did not stop it. One of his harshest persecutors was Saint Paul before his 'Road to Damascus' experience.

    In the case of the OT, the belief in one Creative God was relatively new, so the slightest thing could turn the Israelites back to paganism - and believe me, anything the Israelis did in the OT was humane in comparison. Throwing one's first borns into the flames to appease the demon gods comes to mind.

    so you do not believe the bible is the word of God, but the word of the Authors... thank you

    convert or kill was the way of the old, sadly it worked or the religions would not be where they are now with so many believers

    scare people into brain washing their children, for it they don't believe they will be killed or tortured

    the first generation may not of believe it all, but feared not believing, the children grew up believing and passed it on to their children, thus a new religion is born

    even if you do, a religion would just come up with an excuse for any errors in their books

    The left has to make sure people focus on those "evil" Christians so no one gets concerned by their soon to be primary supporters

    15-25% of Muslims are radical, support radicalism and/or radical groups.
    https://www.wzb.eu/en/press-release/islamic-fundamentalism-is-widely-spread
    60% of those surveyed don't want anything to do with homosexuals.
    45% don't trust Jews.

    Want me to hit a few Hadiths from the Qur'an about violence towards nonbelievers?

    "2:216. Fighting* (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know."

    "3:56. "As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."

    "3:151. We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

    You people need to know and understand the source material before you defend it.

    I can recommend Asimov's Guide to the Bible. Isaac Asimov is best known for his science fiction writing but he is a scientist himself and an excellent writer of science subjects. In his guide he attempts to suggest how some of the stories in the bible could actually have happened and provides the science behind the suggestions. It is very entertaining.

    Most Christians don't vote Democrat. Muslims do every time

    Muslims don't like Christians.

    Gotta keep your supporters happy ;)

    Who created “Hate crimes”? Whose fighting for “Hate Speech”? What liberal media published the Mohammed cartoons?

    I don’t have to speak to every liberal to understand liberal ideology, and it is very anti-individualism, and very anti-free speech.

    Wow. That’s a reach. Careful, you’re stretching your truth rubber-band pretty thin, comparing secular republics to religious tyrannies as moral equals. That’s not very nice, is it?
