Ive seen this site for a while now and everytime I am using the search for anything about the Irish Left it is on the front page.... now obviously there is no such person as MarkHumphrys and this is a troll site but who put this together.....
Would I be right in thinking that there are financial ways to keep your site on the first page of related queries?
Or maybe I am wrong, is there such an ignoramous around somewere trolling?
This is all you need to know about markhumphrys.comRobert Spencer is probably the most knowledgeable and intelligent writer on Islam in the world today.
markhumprys.com
You won't find a more idiotic statement than that on the whole boards.ie site.
If your not aware Spencer is a vile, anti-Islamic propogandist who is paid by Pipes to make ignorant folk hate Muslims, (Breivik was a big admirer) while Pipes is paid to make slightly less ignorant folk hate Muslims who is himself financed by Aubrey Chernick, a rabid Zionist.
Here is a crash course on Spencer "the most knowledgeable and intelligent writer on Islam in the world today" :pac:

Getting rid of illegal settlers is not extremist,
"Getting rid of" 1/2 million Jews is not extremist?
You seem like an incredible extremist to me.So to add to the hypocrisy, you seem unable to stick to one position, and I can't trust a word you say. You flip flop so fast, when someone calls out the extreme positions you take.
I don't understand. What are the two contradictory positions I am supposed to have held?0 -

Yes, that's right.
Anyone who criticises Islamic terror (jihad) and Islamic oppression (sharia) is a Nazi.
Anyone who cares about the human rights of minorities, Christians, atheists, gays, women and liberal Muslims in Islamic countries is a racist Nazi.
Yawn.

You seem like an incredible extremist to me.
Getting rid of half a million illegal settlers who invaded someone elses land is not extremist. Your claims have no basis in reality and are simply delusional. Again, you views are very extreme, and are quite frankly very much to the far right.
Also, I mentioned equitable land swaps, so not all of them would have to be removed, as long as Israel gave Palestinians land equal in size and quality in exchange. It seems to me that you ignore parts of posts when it suits you. None the less, every single settler is there illegally, which is something you seem to choose to ignore, for your own nonsensical reasons. Then again, it seems to have a rather massive distaste for facts.I don't understand. What are the two contradictory positions I am supposed to have held?
You support Israeli expansion and then claims to support a 2 state solution. These 2 things a most certainly contradictory. To claim otherwise like you are, is just another example of you trying to pretend that your views aren't as extreme as they clearly are.
Also, you call for the Palestinians to engage in non-violence, while supporting Israeli exapnsion, which is achieved via violence. So again you are engaging in hypocrisy. Plenty of other example of your bias, double standards and extremist views through out the thread.0 -

Is it possible to criticise Islamic terror (jihad) and Islamic oppression (sharia) without people like you saying it is "inciting racial hatred"?
I doubt it.
One of the reasons there are so many human rights abuses in Islamic countries is that people like you scream "racist" at whoever points them out.
Spencer is not a racist. He shows more concern every week for the brown, black and yellow skinned victims of jihad and sharia than the left has shown in the past decade.0 -

I'm afraid far more than posters here have made the same conclusion with regards to Mr Spencer. The ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Centre have declared his organisation a "hate" group".

From Earlier -
I find it a bit odd you bring up that, when you deny self determination to millions of Palestinians. why do you constantly refer back to the foundation of Israel, when the issue is the current program of colonisation by Israel outside those borders?
So you lambast Hamas for firing rockets from Gaza after an Israeli withdrawal, but laud continuing Israeli expansion into a peaceful area...
You don't see how that could be seen as sending the wrong message? That doesn't raise any questions for you as regarding Israeli motives?
Don't you see something odd about building civillian housing in a "buffer" zone?
Does Israel allow full democratic participation for the inhabitants of the occupied territories? Has it held a plebiscite on whether or not they wish the occupation to continue, the land be annexed outright etc?
You also asked the question as to why Palestinians didn't emigrate to the occupied territories - I provided an answer to which you may care to respond

The SPLC is a far left group that only leftists admire. But anyway, let's look at the page. What exactly does Spencer say on that page that is so objectionable, or even incorrect? Seriously, if he runs a "hate site" (which evokes images of some brain dead skinhead / neo-Nazi site) then surely there is better evidence than this?
The ADL is a more serious organisation. All I could find on the ADL and Spencer was this page:
http://www.adl.org/main_Extremism/911_anti_muslim_bigotry.htm?Multi_page_sections=sHeading_2
But their complaints about Spencer are vague and thin. They don't have a single quote from him. If you are going to label someone a "hate site", you need detailed evidence. I think the ADL really let themselves down with this vague left-wing complaint. There is a strong reply to them here:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/11/anti-defamation_league_has_strayed_from_its_charter.html
I read Spencer all the time and he is a normal parliamentary democrat. Not a "hate site", that's absurd. I don't agree with him on everything, but that is to be expected.
I read him mainly because he is so good at rounding up the unfashionable horror stories of Islamic oppression and murder around the world. You know, Christians burned alive in Pakistan, that kind of thing. This is the kind of job Amnesty International should be doing.
In fact, these kind of stories:

I hope police officers everywhere will finally adopt this approach.
“As the essential principle of his [Muhammad’s] faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it is ONLY BY FORCE, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power annihilated.” John Quincy Adams writing in about 1829
This type of comment is not unusual, I used to read that site just to get an idea about the type of people it attracts but I actually stopped looking at it because of stuff like that. Just because Spencer isn't saying it himself, he is facilitating it despite what his weasel-worded disclaimer says.0 -

Look we did all these already.
Yes I am opposed to Islamic terrorist rocket attacks on civilians. Incredible.
Yes I support the building of the wall which has stopped the Islamic suicide bomb attacks on civilians. It has been a great success. It helped win the war. Well done Israel.
No, I do not agonise about Palestinians "losing land". Why? Because they are not democrats. No I don't care about the state they want to set up. Why? Because it will not be a democracy. Why should anyone care if another autocracy is set up? Who cares that Hamas now rules Gaza? How is that a "win" for liberal values?Don't you see something odd about building civillian housing in a "buffer" zone?
Well it's up to Israel. It's hardly a terrible crime.Does Israel allow full democratic participation for the inhabitants of the occupied territories?
Well a one state solution would mean the end of Israeli freedoms. But I have said repeatedly that Israel should define their borders and then cut the rest free.
You bizarrely assume the Palestinians want "democratic participation". There is no evidence for this. Where is the liberal democracy in Gaza or the PA? Where is the parliament, with regular elections, and a strong opposition party criticising the ruling party without fear of being shot?
Of course neither the PA or Gaza are like this. Palestinians do not believe in such things. You are projecting your western values onto people who do not share them.You also asked the question as to why Palestinians didn't emigrate to the occupied territories - I provided an answer to which you may care to respond
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=79895961&postcount=114
I was making the point that Israeli Arabs have a great life, and any Israeli Arab would be insane to want to live under the PA, when they could live in Israel instead. Did you know many Arabs campaigned to keep their territories in Israel and out of the PA territory?
http://markhumphrys.com/church.islamism.html#israeli.arabs
A survey of residents of Umm el-Fahm .. in the summer of 2000 asked whether they would like to include their city in a potential Palestinian state. The question elicited resounding opposition from 83% of respondents. Among those opposed, 54% cited as explanation for their position the desire to continue living under democratic rule, and the fact that they enjoy a good standard of living.
In East Jerusalem, residents say they would fight a handover to Abbas regime, Mark Mackinnon, October 16, 2007 - Arabs in Jerusalem horrified at the thought they might be forced out of Israel and into the corrupt, oppressive Palestinian Authority.
Similar quotes from Arabs of Jerusalem in 2000: "The international community and the Israeli Left seem to take it for granted that we want to live under Mr. Arafat's control. We don't. Most of us despise Mr. Arafat and the cronies around him, and we want to stay in Israel. At least here I can speak my mind freely without being dumped in prison"
Sept 2011 poll: 39 percent of Arabs in Jerusalem prefer Israeli citizenship to Palestinian citizenship. 42 percent say they would try to move to Israel if their neighbourhood became part of a Palestinian state.
Like the notable lack of West Germans moving to East Germany, the lack of Israeli Arabs rushing to live under Hamas or the PA speaks volumes. What nutcase would want to live under the rule of Fatah or Hamas?0 -

Once again, the cold war era tone of some of your rhetoric is striking - you'll find East Germany is no longer with us. I've already pointed out why Palestinians would not move.

You seem hellbent on avoiding mentioning the settlements, amusingly enough. Always the "wall" never the colonies.
I find this odd - Its ok to impose a colonial and undemocratic autocratic regime, take territory and maltreat populations if they fail to live up to some ill defined standard. A bizarre bit of doublethink. Somewhat akin to racist justifications for the taking of Africa, India etc. They are "other" thus what we do is legitimate.Well it's up to Israel. It's hardly a terrible crime.
Actually, its specifically forbidden since the 1940's so yes, it is a crime.
And as these things are built on Palestinian land, their inhabitants terrorise locals, and resources are taken from locals to supply them, they are indeed a terrible thing.Well a one state solution would mean the end of Israeli freedoms..
A plebiscite wouldn't. You seem to be rather keen on the freedoms of one group with no concern whatsoever for the other.0 -

So if the Israeli occupation - and the Israeli settlements - are so bad, how come they made the "oppressed" Palestinians 3 times richer?
http://markhumphrys.com/israel.future.html#gdp
Before Arafat wrecked it with his intifada, the Palestinians were prospering under Israeli occupation, with a growing economy linked to Israel and Israeli settlements.
GDP per capita was, in 1990 dollars, $ 1,790 in 1967, and $ 5,312 in 1999. That is, the Israeli occupation made the "oppressed" Palestinians 3 times richer.
There was also a massive rise in Palestinian life expectancy from 54 to 73 under Israeli occupation.
I don't think things are as black and white as you make out. The Israeli economy is the most dynamic in the region. When Palestinians get a slice of that, it is wonderful for them. When enemies of the Palestinians like Arafat and Hamas cut them off from that action, it is terrible for them.0 -

http://markhumphrys.com/islamophobia.html
The video was of secondary importance. It was just to give a brief overview of the hatemongering nonsense peddled by Spencer.
I was, and still am interested to find out if you actually stand by the hilarious claim that“About Islam, I recommend essentially everything written by Robert Spencer,”
No, wait...that was Anders Breivik. You said: "Robert Spencer is probably the most knowledgable man in the world on Islam".
Do you stand by this? And on what basis do you make the claim?
I briefly scanned over your "reply". It's just the same extremist blather you see on any other anti-Muslim conspiracy theory site. I had a quick scan over your site and to be frank it's a joke.
On the top banner you have an emotional plea to free Pollard because he "was spying for an ally." I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone could make such a ludicrous claim with a straight face.
From memory on your "Islamic attacks on Irish people" section, or more accurately paragraph you're forced to accept that no attacks have happened in Ireland "yet".
,
This is like me saying Mark Humprhys hasn't raped anyone (yet). It's weasel tactics to use nasty insinuations despite evidence to the contrary. Anyway, as you want to create the illusion of a Muslim threat in Ireland you are then backed into a corner and list off some events which are attacks on Irish people without adding any kind of political context whatsoever, such as occupation, injustices, nationalism, seperatism and so on, it's always Islam first, last and always (even when Islam has absolutely nothing to do with it). Apparently all you have to be is a non-western, brown person with a rifle and you are apparently an sharia loving jihadi Islamofacist hellbent on forced conversions of the poor little white Irish kids. . You really clutch at straws too - I believe you used the assasination of RFK -- an American -- by Sirhan Sirhan -- a Christian -- as an example of Islamic terror attacks against Irish people. You use attacks orchestrated by Abu Nidal, a Marxist...y'know a militant atheist like yourself as an example of Islamic terrorism. Ironic I know, but not quite as Ironic as your use of the Irish cyclist kidnapped in Balochistan Iran 10 years ago as an example of Islamic terror attacks.- The kidnapping had **** all to do with Islam. The only motivation was to receive ransom money.
- It was the Islamic republic of Iran who seen to it that he was freed.
- It was Jundullah who carried out the kidnapping. Jundullah are a criminal/terrorist group who are bought-and-paid-for agents of the state of Israel.
Jonathon Githens-Mayer and Dr Robert Lambert, a former London Police officer co-authored a report directly linking anti-Muslim hate crimes, up to murder to media fabrications and distortions and anti-Muslim rhetoric by politicians and so-called "experts".
I'd just like to finish by answering a question you pose on your site:Islamophobia - People scratch their heads about the cause of "Islamophobia". Are westerners just hostile to "difference"? I suggest the main cause of "Islamophobia" is the never-ending series of Islamic terror attacks.
The answer is quite simple...This network of hate is not a new presence in the United States. Indeed, its ability to organize, coordinate, and disseminate its ideology through grassroots organizations increased dramatically over the past 10 years. Furthermore, its ability to influence politicians’ talking points and wedge issues for the upcoming 2012 elections has mainstreamed what was once considered fringe, extremist rhetoric.
And it all starts with the money flowing from a select group of foundations. A small group of foundations and wealthy donors are the lifeblood of the Islamophobia network in America, providing critical funding to a clutch of right-wing think tanks that peddle hate and fear of Muslims and Islam—in the form of books, reports, websites, blogs, and carefully crafted talking points that anti-Islam grassroots organizations and some right-wing religious groups use as propaganda for their constituency.
Some of these foundations and wealthy donors also provide direct funding to anti-Islam grassroots groups. According to our extensive analysis, here are the top seven contributors to promoting Islamophobia in our country:- Donors Capital Fund
- Richard Mellon Scaife foundations
- Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
- Newton D. & Rochelle F. Becker foundations and charitable trust
- Russell Berrie Foundation
- Anchorage Charitable Fund and William Rosenwald Family Fund
- Fairbrook Foundation
Out of interest do you receive any outside funding to spread your message?
P.S. Will you attending the Zion, sorry SION meet in Stockholm? Your hero, Spencer will be there. You could meet most of your readers there I am sure tea party, Kahanists, JDL, EDL, JTF, SD PVV and lot's of other anti-Islam bigots.
Well I say readers but I'd be surprised if many of them could even spell EDL.0 -

You believe wrong. Not against Irish people, but certainly the RFK killing in 1968 was the first terror attack in the West on behalf of the jihad of the modern era. As I say here, it can be seen as the start of the modern war:

So basically you are ascribing motives to people to suit your own agenda. I realise it is a common tactic amongst people who share your outlook to offer up completely reductionist explanations for the actions of Muslims but it is not always as straightforward as: Muslim does something therefore Islam is the explanation.

I ask again: What exactly does Spencer say in the SPLC profile page that is so objectionable? I don't get it.
It would appear that your definition of "far left" is that whatever you term so is so.
The cherry picking, the demonisation....So if the Israeli occupation - and the Israeli settlements - are so bad, how
come they made the "oppressed" Palestinians 3 times richer?
I seem to recall the same argument being made by apologists for Apartheid SA. Denying the palestinians the ability to build their own economy and using them as a form of cheap labour in nearby "bantustans" has an all to-familiar ring to it as well.
Theres no reason to automatically link extended life span and the occupation, given progress in medicine etc over the same period and the influx of aid via the UN and other bodies post 1970.
You've avoided referring to the two tier justice system, settler only roads and facilities, the sectarian/racist prioritising of resources again, I note. I wonder why...is it because you're unable to admit and deal with it, because you support same and don't want to admit it....? Also you never acknowledge that the aquistion of territory by force is specifically outlawed, that colonisation is going on.....0 -
