Muslims Have Greater Religious Freedom Than Christians In Europe

Translation: transgressing Christians are punished with the full force of the law, whereas liberal judges let Muslims get away with murder.

Muslims Have Greater Religious Freedom than Christians in Europe, Says Anti-Discrimination Chief

It was German Chancellor Angela Merkel who said: “We do not need less Islam, we need more Christianity.”

“It is interesting that Angela Merkel made this statement, because she is not a very observant Christian,”said Mr Martin Kugler, Austrian historian and founder of the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe,

It is (also) necessary for Christians to have better knowledge of their own faith if they are to have any hope of protecting it.

Death of free speech: Germany approves bill imposing massive fines for online “hate speech” and “fake news”

BY ROBERT SPENCER

“German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said that the companies offering such online platforms are responsible for removing hateful content. He said the new bill would not restrict the freedom of expression, but intervene only when criminal hatred or intentionally false news are posted.”

What is “criminal hatred”? Clearly what German authorities mean is not just incitement to violence, but opposition to their suicidal policies regarding Muslim migration: “the issue” of this online censorship “has come to the fore amid the recent influx of migrants to Germany, which has sparked a backlash among some Germans including a rise in online vitriol.” German authorities apparently define “vitriol” as including any opposition to the Muslim migrant influx, no matter how reasoned, and to their supine attitude regarding jihad terror: Facebook and Twitter have already blocked 90% of their daily referrals from Jihad Watch, and the site is blocked by many Internet service providers in the UK and Europe. The government of Pakistan says that Facebook is doing its bidding and removing content that violates Sharia blasphemy laws.

The concept of “hate speech” is subjective. I don’t think that what I do constitutes “hate speech,” but Leftist and Muslim groups insist that it does, and they have all the power. “Hate speech” laws are tools in the hands of the powerful to silence the powerless and quell their dissent. But the increasingly authoritarian character of the political elites is in the final analysis a sign of their desperation. They didn’t see Brexit or Trump coming. They are rapidly moving to delegitimize and silence all those who dissent from their globalist internationalist agenda. But our numbers are growing. This ain’t over. And they will not succeed in silencing us.

“Germany approves bill curbing online hate crime, fake news,” by Kirsten Grieshaber, Associated Press, April 5, 2017:

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s Cabinet on Wednesday approved a new bill that punishes social networking sites if they fail to swiftly remove illegal content such as hate speech or defamatory fake news.

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet agreed on rules that would impose fines of up to 50 million euros (53.4 million dollars) on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said that the companies offering such online platforms are responsible for removing hateful content. He said the new bill would not restrict the freedom of expression, but intervene only when criminal hatred or intentionally false news are posted.

Germany poses a particular problem for U.S.-owned social networking sites accustomed to American standards of free speech. Due to its Nazi past, Germany bans public Holocaust denial and any overt promotion of racism. The issue has come to the fore amid the recent influx of migrants to Germany, which has sparked a backlash among some Germans including a rise in online vitriol.

Social networks need to ensure that obviously criminal content — as defined by German law — will be deleted within 24 hours and other illegal content after seven days.

“Just like on the streets, there is also no room for criminal incitement on social networks,” Maas said.

“The internet affects the culture of debate and the atmosphere in our society. Verbal radicalization is often a preliminary stage to physical violence,” he added.

The minister pointed out that social networks don’t delete enough punishable content, citing research that he said showed Twitter deletes just 1 percent of illegal content flagged by users, while Facebook deletes 39 percent.

Maas also said that measures to combat hate speech and so-called fake news will ultimately have to be taken at the European level to be effective….

Nikka halala: Sharia divorce law demands the wife to sleep with another man

TABOO TRADITION

Allah Most High says:

“Divorce is twice, thereafter either retaining her honourably or releasing her kindly……. If he divorces her third time, she is unlawful for him unless she marries another husband (and he also divorces her).” (Surah al-Baqarah, V: 229/230)

Some Muslim women pay  thousands of pounds to enter a halala marriage. (Just so they can remarry their husbands)

This is quite common  in Britain. Islam is disgusting.

WHEN Farah’s husband said he was leaving her and wanted a divorce she was unsurprisingly distraught.

The pair had built a life together and had children, and even though her husband had become abusive she was devastated when he told her it was over.

The Herald Sun lets “Muslim leaders have their say”

Is the HERALD SUN turning into another propaganda rag for the Mohammedan expansion project?

It sure looks like it:

.
CAST under a growing shadow of fear and suspicion in Australia and abroad, Muslims are now more determined than ever to promote unity and understanding.

Sure. Taqiyya on steroids.

The West has to stop playing nice. We cannot coexist with Islam. Muselmaniacs exploit every sign of weakness.  Muslims exploit our liberal system everyday by using our freedoms against us in order to conquer. Never mind the Islamic terror around the world, 24/7, the loss of free speech, not being able to ensure Ayaan Ali Hirsi’s safety: Melbourne’s Islamic leaders say this cannot be tackled by Islamophobia. …

Muslim leaders say unity and understanding now more important than ever

CAST under a growing shadow of fear and suspicion in Australia and abroad, Muslims are now more determined than ever to promote unity and understanding.

While the radicalisation and acts of violence can’t be ignored, Melbourne’s Islamic leaders say this cannot be tackled by Islamophobia.

We spoke with three Melbourne community leaders, representing different faces of Islam, for their views.

ADEL SALMAN

ISLAMIC COUNCIL OF VICTORIA, VICE PRESIDENT

FROM watching travel bans and rampant Islamophobia overseas to sharia law “hysteria” in Australia, Adel Salman says his religion is “under siege”.

“The debate about Islam has become so febrile, so strident that people just start talking over each other,” the vice president of the Islamic Council of Victoria said.

“Our position as citizens is under threat, our faith is maligned and we are forced to defend the actions of other Muslims.”

As a community leader, Mr Salman said it was important for him to condemn the actions of those who invoked Islam for acts of violence and terror.

“I think the non-Muslim population almost expects that from us, to keep reassuring them that this has nothing to do with the faith — and it doesn’t,” Mr Salman said.

“But we don’t just want to be putting out fires.

“We need to move past that stage so people don’t need constant reassurance and Muslims can be recognised as an integral part of Australia.”

One area where nuanced understanding was needed was sharia law, he said.

“There are so many falsehoods out there about sharia law — just saying the words scares people, but it covers so many different things,” Mr Salman said.

I have a big fat book, its called the ‘Umdat al Salik’, otherwise known as the “Reliance of the Traveler’. Its the Sharia law book certified from Al Azhar, Salman. I can read, and I can read it to you just to clear up “misunderstandings”.

“When people think of sharia law they think of the Hudud punishments — the Islamic criminal code. But these will never be applied in Australia, they will not be considered to be applied in Australia and we do not expect them to be applied in Australia.”

You lying f*kc! Would you  tell your 9-year old daughter she can only get a little bit pregnant when you rape her?

Syrian “rebels” used Sarin nerve gas, not Assad’s regime: U.N. official

WTF are the “rebels” anyhow? I’ll tell you: they are al Qaeda, al Nusra, ISIL and a host of other Islamic jihadist groups, devout MuBro’s all of them, and in case they manage to topple Assad, we will witness the genocide of the remaining Christians, Alewites, shiites, Druse & Yazids from Syria. As far as I’m concerned, Assad is the best we can get for the time being.

“Sharia cannot be customized for specific countries. These universal, divine laws are for all people of all countries for all times.”

Canuckistan: Imam claims that “Islam is the most feminist religion”

Christine Williams

Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary, who has referenced Islam as the “most feminist religion,” also states:

 Yes, there are people, there are people of clergy also, they misinterpret, they definitely have different mindset, but they are very, very small minority.

Unless one is deaf, dumb and blind to world news and events, history, current Islamic jurisprudence, it is clear that this “very, very small minority” is a figment of Soharwardy’s imagination.

Some other odd statements made by Soharwardy:

“Sharia cannot be customized for specific countries. These universal, divine laws are for all people of all countries for all times.”

“I am one of the founding members of the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice. The mandate of the institute is to resolve disputes within existing Canadian laws by using the principles of conflict resolution from Islamic Law, or sharia.”

“Presently, what Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians is worse than the Holocaust of World War II.”

Perhaps  Soharwardy’s crowning statement was that “Muslims are going through that situation right now that the Jews faced before the Holocaust.” That bizarre statement is about as true and confusing as “Islam is the most feminist religion” that a “very, very small minority” misinterprets.

“Canadian Imam: ‘Islam is the most feminist religion’”, CIJ News, April 3, 2017:

Imam Syed Soharwardy of Calgary, the head of the Calgary-based Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and the founder of Muslims Against Terrorism, is often invited by CBC as a guest expert to discuss issues related to terrorism and radicalization. He is introduced as a moderate voice in the Muslim community who “has worked to prevent the radicalization of youth in Canada.”

They all seem to work “to prevent the radicalization of (Muslim) youth”. Too strange that it is us infidels who end up paying for it, while these “deradicalisation experts”  have nothing to show for their efforts.

Hugh Fitzgerald: “Spread Hummus Not Hate” in Beaver, Pennsylvania

One more example of Meet-Your-Muslim Neighbor Ninnies:

“Clearing the Air on Islam through ‘Spread Hummus, Not Hate’ events in Beaver,” by J.D. Prose, Beaver County Times, March 31, 2017:

BEAVER — If any two things bring Beaver Countians together, it’s food and religion, and Center Township resident Toni Ashfaq will incorporate both to educate residents about Islam during events in Beaver.

“There are a lot of misunderstandings, a lot of false information floating around,” said Ashfaq, a Muslim and the organizer of two Spread Hummus, Not Hate: Meet Your Muslim Neighbor gatherings Wednesday and Saturday at Beaver Area Memorial Library. “We just want people to meet us and see that we’re just like everybody else.”

“A Wisconsin native and convert from Catholicism, Ashfaq said she and two friends — Julia Chaney, a Christian, and fellow Muslim Dr. Raniah Khairy, an OB/GYN specialist at Heritage Valley Beaver hospital in Brighton Township — began brainstorming ideas “just to kind of build bridges and promote understanding” because of the “current political climate.”…

“We thought it was a pretty catchy title,” Ashfaq said with a laugh. Just one gathering was initially planned, but after receiving an “overwhelming” response, she said a second one was added.”

“Islam has been distorted by politicians and certain media, she said, not naming anyone specifically. Regardless, Ashfaq said Muslims are “not in denial” about Muslims committing violence, but “the media too often focuses solely on Islam.”

Yes, how true. What on earth could possibly be the reason for this unwonted fixation on Islam? Could it be that the media “too often focuses solely on Islam” because there have been more than 30,500 terrorist attacks by Muslims on non-Muslims, all over the world, since 9/11? Could it be that the attacks – let’s just list a few of the places that come immediately to mind, in Paris, Nice, Toulouse, in Brussels, Berlin, Wurzburg, Munich, Reutlingen, Ansbach, in Moscow and Beslan and St. Petersburg, in Amsterdam and Madrid, in New York and Washington and Boston, in Fort Hood and San Bernardino, in Orlando and Chattanooga, in St. Cloud and Little Rock, in Bali and Mumbai and New Delhi, in the Moro Islands of the Philippines, in Buenos Aires and in Beijing – are the reason why there is this “focus”on Islam? Or might it be because Muslims are engaged in so many other kinds of violence, including the sectarian conflict, pitting Sunnis against Shia, in Syria, Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, and Yemen, which also means that in several of these countries both Iran and Saudi Arabia are also involved, fighting proxy wars? Or could it be the continuing warfare against the Egyptian state from terrorists based in the Sinai, who are both Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic State sympathizers? Or the Muslims of Boko Haram, who have continued to kidnap Christian girls in Nigeria and use them as sex slaves? Or the attacks on Christians and Yazidis by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria? Or the continuing wars in post-Qaddafi Libya, with Misratan militias battling the forces of the Libyan National Army, while the remnants of the the Islamic State, defeated at Sirte in December 2016, remain a once-and-future threat in Libya, a country where things are so bad that there are those nostalgic even for Qaddafi’s mad rule? Could it be the violence by Muslims who have driven 200,000 Hindu Pandits out of Kashmir, terrified Christian farmers in the Moro Islands of the Philippines, pushed Buddhists out of the Chittagong Hills tract in Bangladesh, and killed hundreds of thousands of African Christians in the southern Sudan? Could it be the murder of the Christian Shahbaz Bhatti in Pakistan, for daring to question the blasphemy laws? Could it have something to do with the grooming gangs in England? Or the fact that in Sweden 70% of the rapes are committed by Muslims, though Muslims constitute only 4% of the population? Could any, or some, or all of this, and a great deal more in the same vein, be the reason the media “focuses” — if, in fact, it does — on Islam?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the cultural erosion of free speech

This is not something that came out of nowhere. We are witnessing the gradual implementation of Istanbul resolution 16/18

Resolution 16/18, which was adopted at HRC headquarters in Geneva in March 2011 (with the support of the Obama Administration)—together with the OIC-sponsored Resolution 66/167, which was quietly approved by the 193-member UN General Assembly on December 19, 2011—is widely viewed as marking a significant step forward in OIC efforts to advance the international legal concept of defaming Islam.

“The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels”—Hugh Fitzgerald

Patrick Hannaford

If there was any doubt that Australia has a growing hostility towards free speech, the forced cancellation of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s tour of Australia and New Zealand surely lays those doubts to rest.

Hirsi Ali, a prominent critic of Islam, has spoken in Australia on multiple occasions. But she was reportedly forced to cancel her latest tour — including appearances on Q&A, and multiple other media engagements — due to “security concerns.”

Hirsi Ali is accustomed to threats of violence, having lived with around-the-clock protection since 2006, when a note naming her as a target was pinned to the body of her murdered Dutch colleague, Theo van Gogh. So we can safely assume that she wouldn’t cancel her tour unless there were credible threats to her safety or the safety of the organisers and attendees of her talks.

Few people will publically support such threats. But they don’t arise in a vacuum. They are the inevitable result of a growing cultural hostility towards free speech in Australia, and throughout the west.

This hostility was on open display in reports of the cancellation. Hana Assafiri, a Melbourne activist who had campaigned against Hirsi Ali’s tour, told The Guardian Australia that Hirsi Ali was being held accountable for her “divisive discourse”. Assafiri had participated in a video in which a group of young Muslim women denounced Hirsi Ali as a profiteer who uses “the language of white supremacy.”

To be clear, neither Assafiri nor the video she appeared in openly supported threats of violence. But their anti-free speech message, and their ridiculously over the top language, are examples of the growing intolerance that’s undermining free speech in Australia and around the world.

This hostility towards free speech has dominated much of Australia’s political debate over the past year.

On multiple issues, politicians and media commentators from across the political spectrum have continuously downplayed the importance of free speech and systematically undermined the distinction between speech and actions.

St Petersburg Train Bomber a ‘Former Sushi Chef Who Didn’t Say His Prayers’

St. Petersburg jihad murderer is Muslim from Kyrgyzstan, Akbarzhon Jalilov

The Telegraph says: “No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and the suspect’s motives remain unclear.”

Not true:

The Telegraph, like other establishment media outlets, is a wretched propaganda sheet determined to mislead the public into thinking that Islamic jihad terror is not as much of a problem as it actually is.

Update:

Carriage of carnage: Pictures emerge from inside train where a nail bomb killed 14 in St Petersburg metro attack as suspected Islamist bomber is revealed to be a 22-year-old from Kyrgyzstan
  • Russian Akbarzhon Jalilov, 22, born in Kyrgyzstan, named by security services as suspected nail bomber
  • His home country has seen up to 500 join ISIS and the Boston Marathon bombers were also born there
  • The horrific blast occurred between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya train station in St Petersburg, Russia
  • Ambulances raced to the scene of the carnage caused by a nail bomb which was detonated on the network 
  • At least 14 people have been killed in yesterday’s bomb blast and 50, including several children, were injured
  • Nobody has claimed responsibility, but previous attacks on Russia have been blamed on ISIS and Chechens 
  • Bearded man first identified on CCTV as suspect hands himself in claiming innocence and faces lie detector
  • City transport bosses have closed four stations this morning after an anonymous warning of another attack

“Who is St Petersburg bombing suspect Akbarzhon Jalilov?,”

by James Rothwell, Telegraph, April 4, 2017:

Russia’s investigative committee has named the St Petersburg metro bomb attacker as Akbarzhon Jalilov, a 22-year-old man from the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan.

The confirmation came after Kyrgyzstan’s security services, who said they are “maintaining contact with the Russian secret service for further investigation,” named Jalilov as a suspect this morning.

Earlier Russian investigators refused to confirm the report, saying that although they have established the identity of the attacker, whose remains they found at the scene of the blast, it would be “premature” to name the suspect publicly.

Who is he?

Akbarzhon Jalilov was born on April 1, 1995. Kyrgyzstan’s security services say he is from the city of Osh.

Unconfirmed reports in local media say he moved to St Petersburg with his parents in 2011, and remained in the city after they later returned to Osh.

Very little is known about Jalilov’s background before he carried out the attack.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the death of free speech in Australia

J/Spectator

Once upon a time, progressives sought to unshackle women from woolly-minded religious orthodoxies about how females out to dress and behave. Nowadays, a figure like Hirsi Ali is either ignored or denounced by a generation of feminists more interested in donning a hijab in faux solidarity with their sisters in the Middle East than talking honestly about their plight. Indeed, for throngs of self-anointed feminists, shielding the world’s second largest religion from criticism matters more than hearing the words of a woman who lives her life under constant threat for committing the medieval crime of apostasy.

Mark Steyn:

Malcolm Turnbull’s ministry ought to be ashamed that a woman like Ayaan Hirsi Ali cannot speak in the country they purport to govern. And, if they want to do something to change that, they could start by speaking up for free speech. Will they? Will Turnbull? The men and women who run the western world – in Oz, in Britain, in Canada, in Europe – have made a bet that they can banish a few loudmouths like Ayaan Hirsi Ali to the fringes but that otherwise life will go on. No, it won’t. As I said of that Copenhagen eatery:

The restaurant that chickened out is called Fiat, in King’s New Square. It looks rather convivial from this photograph, with everyone quaffing their bubbly without a care in the world. They don’t seem to grasp that such civilized pleasures require civilization, and, ultimately, people willing to defend it.

‘Wrong’ kind of hero: Why feminists diss Hirsi Ali

By Rich Lowry

In the fashionable neologism designed to be a conversation-stopper, she is “an Islamophobe.” Brandeis University notoriously rescinded a planned honorary degree for her last year.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not just a heretic; she also is a believer. She has more confidence in Western civilization and its values than people who have never had to live outside it, or face down the enemies who want to destroy it.

If she doesn’t get the recognition she deserves, so much the worse for her detractors.
