Despite the best efforts of the Anti-American bunch over at CAIR, Robert Spencer spoke last night at the Young America's Foundation (via Jawa Report):
Robert Spencer spoke today at the Young America's Foundation despite CAIR's threat that they would sue YAF if Spencer made any defamatory remarks. I guess YAF called CAIR's bluff, eh?

Good going man and good going to the people at YAF for standing up the the bullies in CAIR.
The man has a set of cajones much larger than me. Despite death threats he's out there in the public eye criticizing those elements of Islam that are most dangerous, repressive, and violent.
Robert has a roundup here and Michelle Malkin was there to see it live. Lucky. Anyway, it was big enough news that Brit Hume had something to say about it. Video here.
And Stacy McCain has a partial transcript of the speech. Here's a teaser:
If CAIR succeeds in smearing and silencing all those who dare to speak about the elements of Islam that jihadists use to justify their actions, and who dare to call upon CAIR itself and other groups to go beyond vaguely-worded condemnations of terrorism to real efforts to teach against the jihad ideology in schools and mosques, what chance do we have to resist the spread of that ideology?...
If you don't know who Robert Spencer is, you should. He is the man who runs
Jihad Watch, a website that tracks Islaofascism and its followers. He is not afraid to put the heat on these people, and expose them for who they are. This, of course, causes Ibrahim Hooper to
get his underwear in a knot. We can't have people knowing the truth about Islam, now. Can't have them knowing that it is a religion that requires one to fight infidels where you find them until they are dead. Sura 2, verses 190-191, 193--
"Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you...And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith...And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah."
