Hitchens: How the UN wants to criminalize Free Speech

FIGHTING WORDS

Don’t Say a Word

A U.N. resolution seeks to criminalize opinions that differ with the Islamic faith.

By Christopher Hitchens/Slate

The Muslim religion makes unusually large claims for itself. All religions do this, of course, in that they claim to know and to be able to interpret the wishes of a supreme being. But Islam affirms itself as the last and final revelation of God’s word, the consummation of all the mere glimpses of the truth vouchsafed to all the foregoing faiths, available by way of the unimprovable, immaculate text of “the recitation,” or Quran.

* Puzzled in Gaza

If there sometimes seems to be something implicitly absolutist or even totalitarian in such a claim, it may result not from a fundamentalist reading of the holy book but from the religion itself. And it is the so-called mainstream Muslims, grouped in the Organization of the Islamic Conference, who are now demanding through the agency of the United Nations that Islam not only be allowed to make absolutist claims but that it also be officially shielded from any criticism of itself.

Though it is written tongue-in-cheek in the language of human rights and of opposition to discrimination, the nonbinding U.N. Resolution 62/154, on “Combating defamation of religions,” actually seeks to extend protection not to humans but to opinions and to ideas, granting only the latter immunity from being “offended.” The preamble is jam-packed with hypocrisies that are hardly even laughable, as in this delicious paragraph, stating that the U.N. General Assembly:

For a long time there has been talk about a giant mosque to be built in Marseilles in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône. Now, the project is several steps closer to becoming a reality.

A Turkish Future for Alsace Lorraine?

From the desk of Tiberge/Brussels Journal

There is an article, with numerous links, posted by Joachim Véliocas at his websiteIslamisation. It concerns the Turkish population of Metz, capital of the Lorraine region in the northeast of France, and its hope for a giant mosque of its own, despite the many prayer rooms that already exist in the city. The article is based on a report in the dailyRépublicain Lorrain, dated February 20, that discusses plans for the mosque, focusing on comments made by the leaders of five Turkish associations of the city of Metz. Each of these associations hopes to manage or co-manage the projected mosque. One of the associations is the Islamist Milli Görüs party, whose founder, the former prime Minister of Turkey Necmettin Erbakan, was forced out of power in 1997 by the Turkish military and by the constitutional court that found him too radical.

Wilders’ Defense of Free Speech

Support for Geert Wilders “explodes”

* Geert Wilders party, the Party for Freedom, is now the second largest party in the Netherlands, based on recent polling. It’s a stunning political development..

Dutch politician Geert Wilders may be many things, but he is not the right-wing populist he is accused of being. What the debate over his film “Fitna” reveals most clearly is the West’s cowardice toward Islam.

Wilders’ Defense of Free Speech

By Andrew G. Bostom

FrontPageMagazine.com | 3/2/2009

                              MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

Beaumarchais’ Marriage of Figaro, written at the close of the 18th century, included this freedom of speech monologue in Act V, Scene 3,

  I cobble together a verse comedy about the customs of the harem, assuming that, as a Spanish writer, I can say what I like about Mohammed without drawing hostile fire. Next thing, some envoy from God knows where turns up and complains that in my play I have offended the Ottoman empire, Persia, a large slice of the Indian peninsula, the whole of Egypt, and the kingdoms of Barca [Ethiopia], Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. And so my play sinks without trace, all to placate a bunch of Muslim princes, not one of whom, as far as I know, can read but who beat the living daylights out of us and say we are “Christian dogs.” Since they can’t stop a man thinking, they take it out on his hide instead.

Sadly, today, over two centuries later, Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders’ free speech rights are under attack in an effort to appease the same irredentist Muslim attitudes—attitudes which are devoid of self-criticism, and violently opposed to any criticism of Islam by non-Muslim “infidels.”

A real shyster for you: Muslim attorney in the Netherlands refuses to rise when judge enters

*  He wants to be a kadi, an Islamic judge ruling over dhimmies. Needless to mention that his studies were financed by the same filthy kuffars that he despises and whose system of law he wants to destroy. Our problem is not only with him, but with the people who allowed him to get that far. There are ways and means to nip this in the bud. 

                      enait_145316c.jpg
                                 He won’t stand for Dutch law

Mohammed Enaït refuses to rise for Dutch judges — a clear indication that he does not respect them, or the system of law they represent. He respects only the law he considers to be divine law, the Sharia, and is no doubt working to bring about its triumph.

Gang War or Civil War in Denmark?

WAR IN DENMARK: CITIES BESIEGED

Check out the latest developments in the takeover of Europe. “Gangwars” indeed.

From Atlas Shrugs

                    

There have been another three shootings in Copenhagen over the weekend. Two are dead. - 

The library, culture centre and sports hall on Blågårdsgade street in Copenhagen are to close at night and weekends until further notice.

Employees of public institutions in the area of Copenhagen hardest hit by gangwar shootings are afraid of going to work and their facilities are to have new opening times.

‘Gangwar’ – Muslims vs Bikers (the only ones not afraid to fight back, I guess).

A Letter From Denmark

                

Winds of Jihad cartoonist Shem just received this letter from a friend Denmark and asked us to publish it. Please pass it on:

In  1978-9 I was living and studying in Denmark. But in 1978 – even  in Copenhagen, one didn’t  see Muslim immigrants. 

The Danish population  embraced visitors, celebrated the exotic, went  out of  its way to protect each of its citizens. It was proud of its  new brand of socialist  liberalism one in development since the conservatives  had lost power in 1929 – a  system where no worker had to struggle to survive, where one ultimately could  count upon the state as in, perhaps, no other  western nation at the  time.

New Secretary of State

Pamela makes no bones about it:  This is the first anti-American American administration.

Clinton pledges to press for Palestinian state       

 JERUSALEM (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged on Tuesday to press hard for Palestinian statehood, putting Washington on a possible collision course with Israeli Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu.

“We happen to believe that moving toward a two-state solution is in Israel’s best interests,” Clinton told a news conference with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

Translation: We believe that Zyklon B is in the Jews’ best interest.

Spencer has this:

More infidel billions for Gaza

 

                     

At Jihad Watch, Hugh Fitzgerald has a great comment (written on Sunday) about yesterday’s massive giveaway of billions of infidel dollars for Gaza (Hat Tip: Jawa Report).

Why not withhold Western, Infidel aid, and ask the Gazan Arabs, and the Jordanians, and the Egyptians, and the Pakistanis, tutti quanti, to go ask for aid from the fabulously rich Saudis and other Arabs of the Gulf, in the U.A.E., in Kuwait, in Qatar? If they turn their fellow members of the Umma down, that will cause division, and possibly worse. If they do not turn them down, whatever they offer will be taken, but with the feeling that “the rich Arabs” can still do more, and more and more. Whether the aid is forthcoming or not, it will help to foster divisions and resentments among the Arabs, and even by the poorer non-Arab Muslims (as in Pakistan) against the rich Arabs. These kinds of resentments and divisions are useful to Infidels.

English cricket hero saves umpire as gunmen kill six in attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan

By Nicola Boden/Mail Online

Just in case you had any doubt on who is to blame for this attack, ask Irfan Yusuf:

             

           The Tamil Tigers Did it!

Already Sri Lankan Tamils are getting nervous at the possibility of Tamil Tigers’ involvement in the Lahore attacks. Here is what Hamish McDonald, writing for the Sydney Morning Herald, has picked up from discussions on Sri Lankan media websites:

Take this exchange on the popular website www.lankanewspapers.com within a few hours of the team being attacked in Lahore.
A posting by “Pacha” noted that Tamil star bowler Muttiah Muralitharan was not among the reported victims: “Murali not injured suld have known this attack before.”  * Does that remind you of the ‘4000 Jooozz that didn’t come to work on 9/11?

Back to the story:

It happened on the way to the “Gaddafi Stadium”  in Lahore…

The ground was originally named “Lahore Stadium”, but was renamed in 1974 in honour of Colonel Gaddafi of Libya after a rousing speech he gave at an Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in favour of Pakistan’s right to pursue nuclear weapons.

A former English cricket star desperately tried to shield another official from a hail of bullets today as they were attacked by -Islamic- terrorists in Pakistan.

Chris Broad, 51, was following the Sri Lankan team’s coach when it was ambushed by 12 masked gunmen wielding AK-47s, grenades and rocket launchers.

Hollywood goes to Teheran

 

Hollyweird Twat Watch:

From the dumber than dirt department:

Last week, nine members of the AmericanAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences arrived for a visit in Iran, with the aim of meeting with Iranian filmmakers. The group, which included Sid Ganis, Annette Bening, William Horberg, Frank Pierson, Alfre Woodard, Ellen Harrington, James Longley, Tom Pollock, and Phil Robinson, met in Tehran with Iranian filmmakers for seminars on directing, screenwriting, and acting.

In Response to Visit, Iran Calls for Apology from Hollywood for Three Decades of Insult to Iran

In response to the visit, Javad Shamaghdari, art advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, called on senior Iranian filmmakers not to meet with the Hollywood group, until they apologized for insulting the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolution and for issuing lies in films such as “300,” “Not Without My Daughter,” and, recently, “The Wrestler.” He said, “Cinema officials will only have the right to have official sessions with… Hollywood movie makers when [the latter] apologize to the Iranians for their 30 years of insults and slanders.” He added that Iran would believe U.S. President Barack Obama’s promise of change if it was expressed in an official apology from Hollywood.
