The Caliphate, Jihad, Ideology, and the West: A Conversation with Robert Spencer

50:05 Min. Listen

April 30, 2025

In this provocative episode, Doug and Pesach sit down with Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and a prominent voice on radical Islam and its impact on the West. Spencer shares the history of the caliphate, and explains how the current map of the Middle East is a direct result of a specific historical event, and has little do to with ethnicity or even logic. He shares his views on the theological and political dimensions of the Muslim Brotherhood, the role of ideology in contemporary conflicts, where Iran and Qatar fit into this belief system, why Americans need to care about fundamentalism in the Middle East, and the challenges Israel – and all liberal democracies – face in responding to religious extremism.
