Why Islam Is Unfunny for a Cartoonist

The arrest of a controversial Dutch cartoonist has set off a wave of protests. The case is raising questions for a changing Europe about free speech, religion and art.

Paving the way for ’soft jihad’

The weirdest embrace: Left-liberals and radical Muslims make common cause against the West.

The list of complaint-triggering speech offences is long in all Western countries, and ranges from the trivial to the politically existential: A decoration on a lid of ice cream distributed by Burger King offends because it resembles Allah in Arabic script; Fox Entertainment’s drama 24 portrays South Americans, Bosnians, Germans and Muslims as terrorists, but only Muslims complain; a Turkish lawyer sues an Italian soccer team because the red cross on their jerseys reminds him of the Crusades.

…One way or another we must stop the fatwa industry in its tracks. Begin with removal of speech-regulation from the HRCs’ legal mandate. Build on that with legislation that imposes costs and damages on litigious third parties who seek to chill journalists.

…

The HRC crisis is not a tempest in a teapot. Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Washington-based Ethics and Public Policy Center, says: “I don’t think it’s too strong to say that the [HRC] complaint against Mark Steyn is a totalitarian document.”

It is therefore no exaggeration to say that Levant and Steyn are fighting for the defining ideal of Western civilization which, once lost, would spell the beginning of the end of all our other freedoms.

Not in My Backyard, Say an Increasing Number of Germans

Please Deport Me: Does Not Belong in Europe.

The planned construction of over 180 mosques in Germany is mobilizing right-wing xenophobes [note: those who resist the Islamification of their country are “right-wing xenophobes”…I hope that the Left-liberal author lives long enough to see and experience the joys of an Islamic Republic in place of the current “Germany.”] but also an increasing number of leftist critics. They fear the Muslim places of worship will facilitate the establishment of a completely parallel society.

Muslim countries win battle to prevent Islam from being criticised during debates by the UN Human Rights Council

Some religions are more equal than others.

GENEVA: Muslim countries have won a battle to prevent Islam from being criticised during debates by the UN Human Rights Council. Religions deserve special protection because any debate about faith is bound to be “very complex, very sensitive and very intense”, council President Doru-Romulus Costea said Wednesday.

Pakistan to Europe: abolish free speech, or else

No longer satisfied with merely running their own respective countries, Muslims want the entire world to obey their obscurantist instructions. The odds are that the E.U. castrated cowards will fold like a cheap tent in front of the Paki thugs. Can you imagine the outrage in Pakistan if some E.U. representatives went there and asked local authorities to stop beheading Christian missionaries? Of course something like that would never happen in our wildest dreams, as the E.U. is petrified of offending the millions of Muslim radicals and suicide bombers now residing in their nations. DIVERSITY IS STRENGHT!

My favourite part of the story is the last two sentences. They fit together perfectly, almost like a Shakespearian rhyming couplet:

…the delegation would also tell the EU that if such acts against Islam are not controlled, more attacks on the EU diplomatic missions abroad could not be ruled out.

Sources said that the delegation would also hold discussions on inter-religious harmony during its meetings with the EU leaders.

Got that? If Western governments don’t censor their press, they should expect more terrorist attacks. And, with that threat as their opening offer, they’re now willing to begin “discussions on inter-religious harmony”.

But just as long as everyone knows what will happen if the West decides to be disharmonious.

I note in passing that the Pakistani delegation isn’t coming to Canada. Why bother? The human rights commissions are already doing what Pakistan wants, prosecuting Islamic fatwas using the resources of the state.

Scott Horton Interviews Michael Scheuer

The only way I like to see that Jewish rag.

Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA’s bin Laden unit and author of Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq, discusses his view that the U.S. betrayal of loyal dictator Musharraf is terrible for Pakistan and U.S. interests in the region, the rising hatred of U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim World, the detrimental effect of the U.S. government’s Israel-centric foreign policy, Ron Paul’s effort to explain to the American people why al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11, why a Ron Paul-style foreign policy would be the worst thing for them, energy independence, future war for oil in Nigeria, Cheney’s argument that al Qaeda in Iraq could ever take over that land, the failure of the media to challenge politicians on this point, his view that Obama, McCain and Clinton – due to their Israel-first stances – will stay in Iraq for at least the next four years, the danger to Israel posed by the neocons’ stupid policies, the extraordinary rendition program and his role in creating it, the necessity of figuring out a way to apply the rule of law to those detained in the terror war, torture, al Libbi’s tortured accusations of ties between Saddam and Osama, his CIA team’s proving that there were no such ties before the war, the strategy behind the September 11th attacks, the fact that Osama has explained exactly what that strategy is for 10 years, and a brief sketch of his new book.

Stories from illiberal Europe…

In today’s illiberal Europe it’s illegal to protest and resist your racial/ethnic replacement and dispossession at the hands of Muslim immgrants, say the courts. Only the French know why they’ve promulgated these totalitarian anti-free speech laws, they’re so afraid of the millions of Muslim foreigners now residing in their country that they’re putting each other in jail out of fear that giving free reign to their unhappiness might result in civil unrest or interethnic violence. DIVERSITY IS STRENGH! Aren’t the French just tickled to bits to have imported millons of vibrant Arab and African Muslims since the 60s? Smart move, dumb frogs! Now enjoy your diversity!

PARIS (Reuters) - French former film star Brigitte Bardot went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of “inciting racial hatred” over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers.
