Invite all to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious… — Qur’an 16:125
Recently I’ve written about Reza Aslan several times, as he is a quintessential example of a deceptive Islamic supremacist who is widely taken as a “moderate,” and is thus a good illustration of how people can be taken in by such snake-oil peddlers. The pint-sized literary poseur Aslan is trying very hard to appear as a reasonable, fashionably liberal voice of Islam, but the deceptiveness of this is shown by the fact that he is a Board member of the National Iranian American Council, a group that genuine Iranian pro-democracy forces regard as an apologetic vehicle for the Islamic Republic of Iran. He has also called on the U.S. Government to negotiate not only with Ahmadinejad but with Hamas — that is, with some of the most barbaric and genocidally-inclined adherents of Sharia.
Anyway, because despite all the evidence of his dishonesty, including his lies about the organization SIOA, an organization I co-founded with Pamela Geller, on national television, I still always hold out hope for some honest discussion with anyone whose writings I analyze and criticize. So over the last few weeks I sent, without comment, links to each of the Reza Aslan posts that I wrote at Jihad Watch to Aslan himself.
These are the responses I received:
1. You don’t actually think I read the drivel you send me do you? You’re a clown and the only proper response to clowns is laughter. Unless of course your obsession with me is motivated by something else. In that case, I must tell you that I’m flattered but you’re really not my type.2. I don’t know how else to tell that I’m just not attracted to you. You and I are never going to get together Robert. You should stick to men your own age and weight.
3. I told you. I’m into women not walruses.
4. Ok. Fine. I’ll think about it. But first you have to shave and lose some weight.
5. If I send you a picture will that satisfy your lust for a while?
I wrote here that I planned to publish these emails, since they showed Aslan’s utter intellectual bankruptcy, gutter mentality, and inability to engage in rational discussion, and I repeated that Sunday. At that point Aslan noticed, and I received this from the same email address as the ones above, aslanmedia@me.com, with the sender labeled as “Reza Aslan”:
Dear Mr. Spencer. This is Mr. Aslan’s assistant. You seem to be under the impression that Mr. Aslan is actually opening, reading, and responding to your emails. I assure you he is not. The email responses you are receiving are automated responses set to respond to your emails indefinitely. You can’t actually think he is interested in reading anything you have to say. Mr. Aslan is a world renowned, best selling scholar. There is nothing about you or your “work” that would interest him in the slightest. Still, we hope that you will keep up your writings about him. Not only does everything you say validate Mr. Aslan’s importance. But you are a source of immense amusement for our team. Thank you.Roshi
This came, once again, from the sender “Reza Aslan.” Come on, Reza, spring for separate email accounts for your team! How expensive can it be? Ask the Saudis for the dough if you’re hard-up. There really is a Roshi who works for Aslan, and she deserves her own email account, don’t you think? Here she is:
Those emails from Aslan were automated responses, said Roshi! A better world through discourse and communication indeed! Behold, the Golden Age of Islamic invention has returned! Reza Aslan and his trusty sidekick Roshi have invented the automated insult generator! Send Reza an email and he will send you one back accusing you of being gay or fat or both! (Do his editors at the Daily Beast know that he traffics in such homophobic insults?) And no one is even writing it! It’s automated abuse! How imaginative! How innovative! How Islamic! The people who brought you suicide bomb vests now bring you…automated gay/weight slurs!
He seems to resemble a Robo Caller with Tourette's.
Thank you for exposing these dangerous fools.
Bizarre.
Hang on Robert. Can you please clafiy something for me? Is Mr. Reza one of those folk that worship that made up moon god that was invented by the pedophilic terrorist murdering madman mohamat, who fancied himself a prophet? The same madman that after eating a meal of live pork (following the completion of sexual activities with the pig) shat the contents of what's been regarded as the terror guide, the most noble koran followed by many many muslims including Mr. Reza?
That him?
No, dummy, you're confusing your sky wizards. It's yahweh the mountain god who asks people to slit their own kids throats on an altar to show their loyalty. You know the same one who says that a woman who grabs the balls of a man who's fighting with her husband should have her hand hacked off. The same one who says it's okay to massacre and rape the women and children of the men you've just killed in order to take over their villages. You really need to brush up on your sky wizards!
He is about to be named as Rahm Es replacement as chief-of staph. Nya nya nya.
These are the people who are working to change our world "through discourse, communication, and the support of democratic ideals." To quote a movie title from the sixties, "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!"
Brilliantly done, Robert.
sure! well done … the jews have been oppressed, exiled, persecuted for over 3000 yrs. Homeless, refugees, an exodus, a diaspora, vagabonds…
Thrown out of every single country they've ever lived in like no other http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm
It's just some time now… thanks to the stubborn, trouble-making nature of the jews. Not long before all this backfires (again!)
Brace yourself…
"Satan, being thus confined to a vagabond, wandering, unsettled condition, is without any certain abode; for though he has, in consequence of his angelic nature, a kind of empire in the liquid waste or air, yet this is certainly part of his punishment, that he is … without any fixed place, or space, allowed him to rest the sole of his foot upon."
Daniel Defoe, The History of the Devil
Not surprised at all by his evasiveness and cowardice.
“Dr. Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions, is a contributing editor at the Daily Beast (thedailybeast.com). …”
This is a man the world drools over. Another huckster that needs to be exposed. Perhaps you’re wasting your time going after him directly Mr. Spencer. Maybe you ought to look toward his handlers or those that welcome him into the Administration as a consultant. Exposing this Dolt for what he is and openly confronting those that support him may ultimately help to narrow the fight to its source. No spokesperson, however made to look otherwise, can hide from the truth that Islam itself is at enmity with the Constitution and no matter how well you speak of it or dress it up it will always be a Totalitarian System which will stop at nothing to lord it over every aspect of human existence. THIS is what needs to be confronted. Soft words and nice cloths cannot hide the truth.
Reza seems to be obsessed with teh ghey. Makes you wonder…
Heh. I wonder if he went to the same boarding school that Edward Said attended.
Looks like the Reza Aslan fans are out in force to give "thumbs down" to the comments on this page. It is to laugh!
Maybe someone can remind me. What is the fate of homosexuals in many Islamic Republics, you know, those countries that practice the "religion of peace"?
"internationally acclaimed?" how then is it that i've never heard of him until now,
Apparently, you must care about the intimate e-mails between Spencer and Aslan otherwise you wouldn't have bothered to read the article.
Who's being petty, again?
FYI, if Aslan is going to label Spencer "anti-Muslim" then Spencer has every right to call him out on it.
No it's not apparent, you clearly don't think so good there Mikey from VA. I read it waiting for the point only to arrive at the end to find "exposing" private emails was the point.
Do you even know what petty means? Calling Aslan pint sized is petty. Calling Spencer out for publicly airing a personal spat is not. Pointing out that Spencer made a false claim is not. Do you see the difference there Mikey from VA?
Spencer has every right to respond to Aslan's charges of being anti-Muslim. If you read this piece you would realize he doesn't do that here. He calls him out for sending private emails he finds personally offensive. I don't care about their private spat. I'm embarrassed for him for his post, it makes him look like a loser wanting the popular kid to acknowledge his existence. He claims Aslan made a claim which the link he provides actually does not support! That I care about. Get it, Mikey from VA? If not, go back to the top and read again. Repeat as often as necessary. And if you're going to respond, respond with some substance. Otherwise, please spare us.
Actually, Reza is the liar. This isn't a personal spat as you say – Aslan has denigrated Spencer in public speaking engagements that had nothing to do with Spencer. Uh, did I say public speaking engagements? Yes, that's what I said. I don't know who you are, but if I did and I publicly denigrated you during a public speech to a crowd of people, would you respond? I'm sure you would, probably with a defamation or libel lawsuit (given your smart ass reply to Mike in VA). So who's actually being petty here? Both you and Aslan. Who is lying about his automated insult response system? Who supports Hamas and Ahmadinejad? Who is either gay or an insulting homophobe? Who is the coward that can't give reasonable and factual responses to legitimate facts about Islam? If you can't figure out the answer to those last four questions, I suggest you "spare us".
Those repulsive emails from Aslan and his assistant show them to be immature, foolish, and nasty. That TV talking heads lend legitimacy to Aslan says more about them than about Aslan.
Well now you have said it….Pint Sized….
I guess if he were as tall as you. you would take him more seriously, right Spence?
buzz off , Clown
Aslan attracts attention in the way that a circus attracts attention, but it is still made up of clowns. Nobody with intelligence takes him seriously.
REZA ASLAN is a member of NIAC;
This is the most important point that should be highlighted.
NIAC is the MULLAHS embassy in USA.
NIAC has the privileged entrance in your State Dept. and Democratic party.
All your armie's efforts in IRAK and Afganistan and their top secrets and strategic points are exposed to the Mullahs services by NIAC.
Iranian Islamic SERVICES have their entrance in all your services.
NIAC is the ISLAMIC INTELLIGENCE and hand in the USA GOVERNMENT, CONGRESS, SENAT, Business, ACADEMIC, and security system.
Haha, monkey-boy, ever heard of spell check? In your case I'm guessing you're more in need of smell check. Go back to your akhoond hut and brush your stinky tooth.
Islam is so obviously a bastion for the criminal mindset it is no wonder politicians and the media are enamored with it. The word holy is bit worn as well.
Seeing as Aslan and his band of koranklowns obviously have a sense of humour – lets all send him a choice muzzie cartoon!!!!..still legal here in Canada and the US to send funny emails?
I think this post is from Reza
My mate Reza is a genius. There is truly nothing like him anywhere else because he is unique. His great insights into the world have acted like a shot of adrenalin to a dying man. No, genius does not do justice to this paragon of Muslim virtue and enlightment. I have read all his books and worshipped at the altar of his genius for many years and I just wish you people would do the same. You would come away enlightened and probably convert to be a Muslim.
In order to become a Friend of Reza please answer the following questions____
1. are you fat ?__
2. are you gay ?__
3. are you both ?____
If you are none of these things you fail the test.
Yes I am crazy.
until $PENCER accepts to debate with a Moslem scholar – live! this coward will continue to hide and milk the mo rons who pay him $$$$ for propaganda and lies.
Guys, $pencer makes $$$$ outta cr ap, you make cr ap!
A man who cliams to be a Scholar? serioulsy? Where? Where is the proof for that? Certainly not in ISLAMIC STUDIES. No way! Just look at his writings; the man doesn't understand Arabic, doesn't read, write nor speks the language which he specializes in!
until $PENCER accepts to debate with a Moslem scholar – live! this coward will continue to hide and milk the mo rons who pay him $$$$ for propaganda and lies.
Mmmm.. The trouble with your comment is that so called self professed Islamic scholars (because that is what most of the morons are ) WILL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY DEBATES REGARDING ISLAM. This might well be because the whole Islam cult thing along with its inventor and the book of death (qur'an) can quite easily be taken apart and shown for what it is…The more enlightened of us see Islams true colours and theyn are the colours of DEATH, TORTURE, DECEIT, MURDER, PERSECUTION and INTOLERANCE toward anything non islamic….And that lame excuse that you lot use all the time about taking things out of context or not speaking Arabic etc…lmfao….Come back when you've grown a brain cell barny and learned to think objectively instead of like an automaton who's been brainwashed by being forced to recite the book of the damned from an early age….
- the love is (not) mutual however and with Jews you loose.
Learn from history dude http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm
I am sure an Islamic supremacist like yourself already has a copy of the Protocols and treats it as serious academic material.
You can call Spencer a liar all you want but you're still not able to refute any of his facts. Naturally you can't match intellectual wits with Spencer so you resort to ad hominen attacks.
"intellectual"?
Are you serious?
Prove it now that $pencer has formal academic qualifications in any subject on Islam?
Prove it!
Just show everybody here where $pencer got his "intellectual" vigor.
Also, answer why the "intellectual" $pencer can't hold an open debate with Moslem scolars… why?
Please answer these questions.
Jews have shafted the USA … it's not long before Amerikans will be on their knees.
You never learned the lessons from Europe http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm
Wherever they go, they cause problems, mischief and trouble.
When will you learn?
For over 3000 yrs, Jews never saw any peace… what makes you think they will now?
Expelled, thrown-out, unwanted, diaspora, refugees, vagabonds, roaming the earth, homeless, without a place to live – in exile… and you expect peace?
You are but GOY, and you always will be GOYIM…filthy, dirty GENTILES!
For over 3000 yrs, Jews never saw any peace… what makes you think they will now?
So you admit the Jewish people were here millenia before Islam yet muslims lay claim to all that is not theirs….The islamic mindset is simply this….If we want it, then we'll take it as our own no matter how many we have to murder or maime in the process….Afterall, as good muslims of the Ummah you can do what you always do and blame everyone else for it and claim victimhood as usual….lmao
Sure, the jews were exterminated, persecuted and expelled by christians for over 2000 yrs. The Nazi did the rest (6 million).
Amerika was built on murder of the natives – this land wasn't/isn't yours… you slaughtered/massacred millions in order to steal it.
Your history is based on theft and murder, not to forget SLAVERY.
You have NO CIVILIZATION!!! Blood! Guns! Death!
Barbarity and Haughtiness…
Err…OUR HISTORY based on theft , murder and slavery…lmao
You are talking about Islam then at its conception and up to the present day?
Barbarity is alive and well and being condoned by the ummah by its lack of voice to the contrary……Oh and Nazism is also alive and well, only now it's called islamism/radical islam or political islam…I won't give the word islam any respect by starting it with a capital letter because it hasn't earned any respect from free thinkers and good people…lmao
"Satan, being thus confined to a vagabond, wandering, unsettled condition, is without any certain abode; for though he has, in consequence of his angelic nature, a kind of empire in the liquid waste or air, yet this is certainly part of his punishment, that he is … without any fixed place, or space, allowed him to rest the sole of his foot upon."
Daniel Defoe, The History of the Devil
ABOVE ALL ELSE THE DEVIL CANNOT STAND TO BE MOCKED……….Sounds like some religion and its devotees that throw their toys out the pram and go on killing sprees for the slightest reason……Wonder which one???lmao
jack ass , Amerika has no history, no civilization… murder, theft, genocide, slavery, lynchings…hate!
You collaborate with the AntiChrist? Have you read the Talmud and see what it says about Christians and Christ (and his mother?)
Shame on you… you devil!
Prepare for your downfall – with Jews, you lose!
History never fails http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm
Even prominent (Torah) Jews/Rabbi's agree, that this is all messed up!
Oh barmy, sorry barny, I'm an atheist so your rantings and anti Jewish sentiments are wasted on me deary….I think ALL religion is for the weak of mind but I also think that if it helps someone who has an otherwise sh!tty life, to cope with said life then I'm ok with that….The difference between us is the simple fact that I don't feel the need to intimidate, torture or behead people in the name of some murdering, sex predatory prophet or some book of lies to promote or force my views on others throughout the world….Convert or DIE…this is the message of wonderful islam and its so called religious leaders and followers….If most muslims had the choice (freedom to choose without fear of death) then I'm quite sure that most would leave this backward facing cult and live a far more happy existence than they are currently.
Is that all you can churn out? Cliches? "convert or die"? "backward facing cult"? Is that all you have? $pencer sure knows a lot of history… you backward thinking Neanderthal.
You guys never had a CIVILIZATION! Amerika was stolen from the natives, Amerika is built on the blood and sweat of BLACK SLAVES and Injin mass genocide/Ethnic Cleansing.
YOU CAN NEVER WASH THIS FROM YOUR CONSCIENCE!!!
Since Amerikan history is born out a mixed record for BARBARITY and MURDER, you have Amerikans which are made to look way cool and civilized (Cow Hustlers & Gun Slingers) and make it easy for screen writers to model bad guys against a caricature of evil (Injins). On the other hand, you have the Confederacy; kind of a low point for civilization eh?! what with all the ragged beards and fat-based fat products being eaten…filthy pigs!
Fortunately, civilization has since found a shining beacon in the USA.
God Bless Amerika! Heritage of mass murder, rape & pillage. A nation with a bloody violent history and present (highest rape & violence in the world).
http://www.muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?…
Lmfao…..What's the matter mate? Islam destroys everything it touches..Convert or die is the rally cry that is coming from islams finest as we speak. Can't you acknowledge this simple truth or would the acknowledgement of truth knock you off your self righteous perch?
Islam has absolutely zero to offer the free world except the death and slavery that you so readily throw at those of us who don't swallow the rubbish that is coming from the islamic world….
"…why do so called islamic scholars always take verses from the old testament (which incidentally no longer apply in this modern world) and try to use them to put a negative slant on Christianity etc. and also use them to promote their own arguments…"____QED____Ask Prof. $pencer, Head of Islamic $tudies why he can't do any better!
"… us who don't swallow…"
Hey! Jack! Did you pay your JIZZya tax to ISRAEL this year?
Where's your heritage dude?
http://www.muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?…
Lmao….IF it was a case of paying the Jizzya to Israel or tyhe muslim then I would willingly pay to Israel because they at least treat people like members of the human race. Unlike the islamist such as yourself who views all those who deny islam as beneath their contempt and worthy of the knife across the throat….I personally have zero interest in muslim heritage or the cult of the moon god… I am responsible for my own actions and don't hide behind a sadistic cult and its teaching to absolve myself from that responsibilty……YOU cannot say the same because you are so blinded by your own religious bigotry that is so inherent in islam and all that it teaches..Doh!
Jack off, you're really dumb aren't you? Really! Seriously dumb… "Moon God"? Where were you educted? Somali land? Did you grduate from the uni of $PENCER?
You sound like typical pretentious 18-year-old returd attention whore who enjoys nothing more than talking cr ap and hopes that people will think he's cool and edgy.
Do you do drugs Jack?
I hope you don't run crying under your bed and start cutting your wrists and pissing yourself out of rejection… sorry! but, you fail dude!
I've already won the debate, if that's what it can be called….The fact that you need to resort to personal attacks instead of replying in an educated way to my comments proves that you have no worthwhile things to say….By the way, where did you graduate from then? I'm always willing to be enlightened and learn?
UINVERSITY OF $PENCER
++++++++++++++++++++++
1 Don't say that the Talmud and Old Testament are facist and need to be illegal. But do write books wich will undoubtely create lots of $$$$$ for butthurt people.
2 Bash Moslems… butthurt people like doin it behind a computer screen.
3 Following Geller et al (ZIONISTS) means THEY aren't loyal to the Motherland USA – USA is just full of butthurt people & GOYIM/GENTILE.
4 Say that the left media is being biased AND full of Marxist, gays and nigg ers.
5 Call yourself a "SCHOLAR OF ISLAM" and get away with it. $$$$
6 Use ANY chance you can get to start ranting about Moslems and how they islamazise The USA. Use similar Nazi hype & propaganda like The protocols of the elders of zion. $$$$
7 Don't hold any live debates with Moslem scholars – avoid it if you're going to make $$$$ and have a large following of butthurt people.
8 profit from lies & propaganda. Take verses out of context. Choose the ones that instigate war (protection/defense). You can't read/write/understand Arabic… you're a first class dimwit.
9 PA$$
10
Your an idiot barny boy…I've yet to see one of your so called scholars come forward and engage in free, open and rational debate on western television. What you and your islamist buddies seem to pussy foot around is the fact that you don't need to be able to speak Arabic in order to understand the islamic book of war. When the written words are calling for the murder and torture of people that do not subscribe to islam or its deluded followers it really doesn't matter if its written in English, Arabic, Hebrew or some other language…The meaning is STILL THE SAME and instead of continually whining and playing the victim perhaps you should get together with your pals and have these verses removed?….Oh, I forgot, you can't do that can you. It's against your religious beliefs….How utterly convenient….it keeps the ummah in the dark ages…lmao
I need say nothing here as your own words show you for what you are barny……You're obviously a Jewophobe and a Christianophobe….lmao
10 you are a fully qaulified Neanderthal
__ROBERT $PENCER is now a prime example of intelligence, masculinity and good looks. He's so popular, BUTTHURT people literally line up to kiss his smelly, unwashed a ss. This page has pretty much outlived its purpose as $PENCER is NOT anything like how this article describes his former self. A changed man, and for the better. ($$$$) So this page really does not have to be up anymore. Okay? You know, maybe this page can just hyperlink to JIHADWATCH. Think of that? He actually gets advertising as well. ($$$$)It could actually help this site if you do it. So go ahead and do it..
Spencer is not an Islamic scholar, and does not have any academic qualifications in any field of Islamic knowledge. He is a fake and a liar… who selects verses out of context.
Mmmm..We don't have to be scholars to understand islam and its intentions for the free world….So tell us all barny, oh great sage of islam, why do so called islamic scholars always take verses from the old testament (which incidentally no longer apply in this modern world) and try to use them to put a negative slant on Christianity etc. and also use them to promote their own arguments FOR islam?? What qualifications do many of these so called religious people (other than being born to muslims and brainwashed at the earliest opportunity) actually have? From what I've seen as long as some muslim who shouts allahuakbar loud enough and shows he hates the West and the Jews then he can call himself some kind of religious leader ad hock…Doh!
Jack… did yoy pay your JIZya tax to ISRAEL this year?
Hey! Jack! Where is AMERIKKKAN HERITAGE?
http://www.muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?…
Hey barmy…When are you going to start going to school and learn how to spell AMERICA or AMERICAN?….You silly person..lol…..The West gives people freedom and islam gives people shackles, not only of the physical sort but also of the mind…..You are proof of this with your pre-occupation spitting bile toward those that bring the truth about islam to the surface….Nothing is perfect in life but better the Christian or Jewish way than that of that nonce Mo and his moon worshipping lot….lmao
Actually Barny, America already pays a huge Jizya tax to Saudi Arabia and the Arab/Islamic World. When will the Arab and Islamic lobby stop preaching hatred and genocide of the West?
Just for you barmy….
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/016-insul…
Now tell us all that we're wrong and you're right…Oh, I forgot, this would be one of those "out of context " moments or "we can't speak Arabic so how can we understand " times…lmao
Arabs are not responsible for algebra either, basicly, just the name.
Most of the things that the muslims claim responsibility for are not "Islamic" – but Arabic. Muslims have done way more bad than good in our world at any period of time.
Barny, they have this stuff called p***y. The Islamo-Arabic world seems to have a shortage of this stuff. That's most of the problem with your world.
Glenn… one of the many BUTTHURT folks on this here site who graduated from the uiniversity of $PENCER…____ Amerkkkans are responsible for anal bombs which are inserted resulting in the buttrape of WTC and major butthurt for both bible bashers and filthy sand dwelling a-rag moslems and money grabbin' jooz.____BUTTHURT people, like $PENCER hide their hideous features which prevent them from getting any c**k-in-p***y action. As a result, they are highly adept at plying prospective partners with scare mongering.

I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Studying this info So i am satisfied to exhibit that I’ve a very excellent uncanny feeling I came upon exactly what I needed. I most indubitably will make certain to don?t disregard this site and give it a glance on a continuing basis.
