Atlas Shrugs recorded and posted a rather lame debate between Robert Spencer and Dinesh D’Souza yesterday at CPAC.  I saw the debate, if one can call it that, on CSPAN last night and actually recorded it, but it was just quite odd with D’Souza never figuring out that he could not eat the microphone and speak clearly at the same time.

Atlast believes Spencer won the debate, but I disagree.  I don’t think Spencer ever had a chance to win the debate because there wasn’t a debate going on.  It was filled with shots across the brow from D’Souza towards Spencer and Spencer didn’t get the time to fully rebutt those cheap shots.

Quite odd really, given that D’Souza blames the ‘cultural left’ for 9/11 and Spencer tries in earnest to explain what gave way towards the events of 9/11 is written within Islam and professed in Islamic circles.  D’Souza explains not all of Islam is that way, to which Spencer certainly agrees per his books and his writings at Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch, but it’s not the Muslim population of Turkey or Bangladesh that has declared war on this nation nor Muslims in Bangladesh, one of D’Souza’s favorite nations to use in rebuttal to Spencer due to D’Souza being Indian I presume, where the basic structure of jihad was formulated.

Anyways, more interesting is Atlas’ interview with Spencer after the ‘debate.’  Check it out.
