Double-virtue-signalling with a yoga twist

The yoga twist is the Denial Pose (or we could call it the Hypocrisy Flex).

I've noticed, identified, and analyzed various spasms of 'double-virtue-signalling' in Robert Spencer over the years.

What is this 'double-virtue-signalling' ...?

It's a special kind of virtue-signalling.  Ordinary virtue-signalling, in the context of the problem of Islam, would be for a non-Muslim Westerner to go out of his way to support a Muslim cause and/or to stand in solidarity with Muslims "suffering" from "Islamophobia".

Meanwhile, 'double-virtue-signalling' is when an anti-Islam guy with one side of his mouth plays to the Counter-Jihad Gallery by sounding all the right counter-jihaddy notes -- while at the same time making sure to throw a bone or two to the politically correct multi-culturalist (PC MC) mainstream.  As I said, I've noticed Robert Spencer do that time and time again.  Here's a Google page of my articles in this regard on my old blog, The Hesperado; and here's a Google page of a few on this little ol' blog here.

So, the yoga twist on this I noted this morning on Jihad Watch, when Robert Spencer -- editorializing on a story showing that even a conservative bastion like the Henry M. Jackson Society is demonizing opponents of Sharia law as "extremists" -- wrote:

Once again we see “conservatives” kowtowing to the far-Left agenda, in the fond hope that the Left-fascists will spare them.

Is that why Robert double-virtue-signals?  In the fond hope that the PC MCs will spare him? (Spare him from, among other things, being damned if you do, damned if you don't...?)

Note to my phone readers:

If you're reading my blog on your phone, you may not be able to benefit from the internal links I provide, if those links (like the ones in this article today) go not to one specific article, but go to an advanced Google search with multiple results of many different articles.  If you run into that roadblock, you'll just have to access the posting by a non-phone computer.  However, for those stuck on the phone with no computer in sight (is that a thing...?), here is at least one direct link quite searingly pertinent to my theme here today:
