What's your point, Lawrence?

He wrote such books as The Myth of Islamic Tolerance: How Islamic Law Treats Non-Muslims, Religion of Peace?; Why Christianity is and Islam isn't, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), and The Truth about Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion. Anyway, the Islamists have had enough of him. They've filed a lawsuit against him: "A powerful Washington, D.C. law firm told YAF that Robert was, in essence, a hate-filled liar and that CAIR had ordered the law firm "to purse every available and appropriate legal remedy to redress any false and defamatory statements that made" at the conference." [sic] And I suppose to distance themselves from the hate-filled Spencer, they've issued a fatwa: "May Allah rip out his spine from his back and split his brains in two, and then put them both back, and then do it over and over." You've got to love their thought processes: You say we aren't peaceful and tolerant? You can't get away with that: May Allay rip out your spine from your back and split your brains in two, and then put them back, and then do it over and over. You've got to love it. Lawrence ps: Where did I get this information? I was sent a letter asking me to contribute to Spencer's legal defense fund. It was in that letter.
