Robert Spencer is still lying

Ginny posted yesterday about sitting in her family’s truck while they listened to the infamous Robert Spencer’s appearance on the Michael Savage show (see here).
Ginny is of course not the first Muslim convert who has had to defend Islam from hostile relatives – a lot of non-Muslims (including several of my family) cannot fathom why someone would give up listening to music, for example. Spencer was trotting out verses from the Qur’an which supposedly justify the murder of Nick Berg. No doubt he took the verses out of context – this is, of course, standard Wahhabi practice whenever they want to call Muslims unbelievers, or kill non-Muslims they don’t have the right to kill.

But the fact is that there is no justification for the murder, which is why several Muslim organisations have condemned it (perhaps some of the ignorant fringe groups support it, but I haven’t heard about it). You can’t simply kill someone because he is a Jew, or because he has an Israeli stamp in his passport. There has been no suggestion that this man was even involved in combat of any sort, even as a “contractor”.
