You don’t horse-trade on freedom of speech

18C Repeal The Only Solution On Freedom Of Speech

Ideas & Liberty | Simon Breheny
The Australian 11th November, 2016

Here’s a simple idea all lawmakers should adopt: when a law is fundamentally broken, it should be repealed. Not replaced. Repealed.

So it is with section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Removing the words “offend” and “insult” from a provision that has been used as a weapon against newspaper cartoonists and university students is an incredibly modest proposal.

Any attempts to water down this inarguably sensible legislative change – by, for instance, replacing these words with a synonym of the removed words – should be recognised for what they are: an effort by those who have contempt for freedom of speech to kill off an amendment that seeks to restore this fundamental human right in Australia.

You don’t horse-trade on freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is an inalienable human right. It’s vital for democracy. Speech is the method by which our conscience manifests; an attack on freedom of speech is an attack on freedom of thought.

EAGLES of Death Metal singer “not welcome after what he said about the security”

“Security” means Muslims who were complicit in the attack.  In a sane society, no one would hire Muslims to take care of security.

Flashback:

A year after the jihad massacre at the Bataclan café in Paris, where 130 people were killed, the venue reopened with Sting as the featured act. The well-known singer began his show by singing “Insh’allah”, to the delighted applause of the crowd. Two members of the Eagles of Death Metal band, which was playing at the venue the night of the massacre, were turned away from last night’s show by the café’s management. (Thanks to GoV)

Paris victimsOf the 130 people murdered across Paris on November 13. 2015, 89 died in the atrocity at the Bataclan

(The memorial for the victims  doesn’t mention Islam or Muslims. That would make the jihadists angry.)

Eagles of Death Metal singer ‘refused Bataclan entry’ for re-opening after Muslim comments

EAGLES of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes was reportedly banned from the Bataclan on the eve of the anniversary of the Paris terror attacks last night as staff said he was “not welcome”.

The American rock band were on stage at the concert hall on November 13 last year, when 90 people lost their lives as armed Islamic State terrorists opened fire as part of a series of terror attacks across the French capital.
.Former Police frontman Sting re-opened the 150-year-old venue last night, on the eve of the first anniversary of the atrocity, but Mr Hughes and a second band member, neither of whom had tickets, were allegedly denied entry by manager Jules Frutos.

Mr Frutos said: “They tried to enter the venue and they are persona non grata. They are not welcome after what he said about the security.
“Even if he came back on what he said. I mean, this man is just sick. That’s all.
.
”Must be “Islamophobia”, that imaginary disease the Muslims always accuse us of suffering.
.
Mr Frutos also said he felt the band’s attitude shows “no respect for the victims” claiming they had used the terrible attack to get “promotion”, asking: “Who did know about this band before”

WTF Did Successive Australian Gov’ts Feed $85 Million Into The Clinton Machine?

The Klintoons and Their Corruptocrats

Tony Thomas @ Quadrant

In Hillary’s term at State, wealthy crooks, influence-seekers and tyrannical governments rushed to donate millions to the Clinton Foundation, its spin-offs, Bill Clinton personally or  vague combinations of all/any of them. Figuring large on the donor list, Australia’s taxpayers

bill sleazeAustralian governments’ $85 million aid to the Clinton Foundation is a bit surprising, given that ex-President Bill and presidential candidate Hillary are synonyms for financial and personal sleaze. That total sum was paid by both Coalition and Labor governments over the past decade. Coalition and Labor have also despatched and committed $460m to the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education,  chaired by our ex-PM Julia Gillard. Abbott’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop threw Gillard’s show a lazy $140 million of taxpayer money in 2014, no questions asked. That aid was in the teeth of Gillard’s lusty presidential campaigning for Hillary against Trump.

Hillary_Clinton_portrait3181

Ostensibly charitable, the Clinton Foundation is the centerpiece of the couple’s amassing of a vast personal fortune.  Bill was president from 1993-01. Hillary was Secretary of State for Obama from 2009-13.

In Hillary’s term at State, every variety of wealthy crook, influence-seeker and tyrannical government rushed to “donate” millions to the Clinton Foundation, its spin-offs, Bill Clinton personally or  vague combinations of all/any of them. Lots of those crooked donors later scored disgrace, convictions and/or gaol on unrelated matters. Amid the sleaze, of course, the Clinton Foundation did manage to do some genuine charity work.

The Australian’s Greg Sheridan reported last February that the Coalition and Labor governments aided the Clinton foundations by more than $75 million in the past decade. The aid was via partnerships with the Clintons’ outfit as ‘technical implementing partner’. There are still three deals involving the foundations aiding Indonesia, PNG and Vietnam. Australia appears to be the biggest single foreign-government source of Clinton Foundation funds, he said. Annual aid has ranged from $6.5 million to a peak $10.3 million in 2012-13, the final Labor year.

French Depravity @ Bataclan Anniversary: Sting Performs “Inshallah”, Eagles Turned Away

Hate to say this, but the French have it  coming. Their ignorance is thicker than mud. One clown sings “Imagine no more countries” after the Charlie Hebdo massacre,  and the next moment Sting reopens the Bataclan with “Inshallah”. The band  ‘Eagles of Dead Metal’ that played at the night of the massacre was prevented from entering. Why?  Because their frontman Jesse Hughes said Muslims bolted the doors down so that no one could escape.

Robert Spencer reminds us:

Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” murdered 89 people in the Bataclan theater last November. Now Sting, reopening the place, sings “Inshallah,” calling it “a magnificent word.”

This is the familiar Islamopandering that we see from the Leftist intelligentsia every time there is a jihad plot or jihad massacre: the best and the brightest have all internalized the idea that their first responsibility after every such attack is to make sure that no one thinks ill of Islam. Anyone who dissents, meanwhile, is tarred with charges of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.”

In any other context, Sting’s “Inshallah” would be derided as the disgusting act that it was. Would he show up the site of Dylann Roof’s killings in Charleston, South Carolina waving a Confederate flag and calling it “a magnificent banner”? I didn’t think so.

Sting is a Moonbat and a simpleton. Not only does he hang out with Muslims, he seems to believe they are his friends. He also believes all the garbage the lame stream media finds fit to print:

“I’m concerned about the refugee crisis. People and their families are in boats, trying to find safety – people from Syria going to Turkey, from North Africa to Italy,” he continues.

“They’re putting themselves in great danger, obviously for a reason. They’re escaping warfare and poverty. And even in peace, they are trying to escape climate change. It’s not a crisis that will stop.” (Straight from Sting’s latest interview in the Straits Times)

Sting sings “Inshallah” at Paris’ Bataclan theater on anniversary of jihad massacre 

Worse than having Sting sing “Inshallah” is of course the decision of the Bataclan management to bar the “Eagles of Dead Metal”, the band who played while the massacre happened right in front of them, from entering. Why? Because their front man  Jesse Hughes clearly stated that Muslims in the theatre bolted down the doors and disappeared so that no one could escape. And for telling the truth, they are now considered persona non grata. Despicable.

Bataclan TURNS AWAY Eagles Of Death Metal – Who Were Playing When ISIS Massacred 90 Music Fans – As The Concert Hall Reopens A Year After The Attack

Blazing Cat Fur

The Bataclan concert hall turned away two members of Eagles of Death Metal who were playing during the ISIS attack at the Paris venue last year.

They tried to enter the venue for Sting’s gig as the hall reopened to mark the anniversary of the massacre which killed 90 innocent music fans.

But director Jules Frutos refused to let them in after frontman Jesse Hughes earlier this year suggested that Muslim staff were involved in the gun and suicide bomb attack on November 13, 2015.

He’s probably right.

Free Money To Eliminate the Imaginary Disease of “Islamophobia”

Project funding available to help create a city free from Islamophobia

Mustards and leftist fellow travelers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Police in Edinburgh and the City of Edinburgh Council are inviting people to apply for funding to deliver projects, which will help create a city free from Islamophobia.

Individuals and groups, supported by a charity or organisation, as well as charities and organisations themselves, can submit an application to receive up to £5,000 worth of funding.

A woman who wore a niqab in her local town hall has been issued a €30,000 fine, according to local media reports.

The 40-year-old woman wore the niqab – the Islamic full-body veil which leaves only the eyes visible – during a meeting of the local youth parliament in Pordenone, northeast Italy in late October, local paper Messaggero Veneto reported.

In an initial tribunal, public prosecutor Federico Facchin sentenced the woman to four months’ detention and a €600 fine, a penalty converted by Rossi into a €30,600 fine but no jail time.

The woman had lived in the town of San Vito al Tagliamento, home to 15,000 people, for 16 years and obtained Italian citizenship several years ago.

Although there is no general ‘burqa ban’ in place in Italy, like in France, a 1975 law regulating behaviour in public spaces forbids people to keep their face covered, for security reasons.

We don’t (just) have a problem with Hizb ut-Tahrir, we have a problem with Islam

With moderates like this, who needs radicals?

Paul Cooper

The Australian Channel Ten show ‘The Project’ certainly stayed true to their mantra of ‘It’s news delivered differently’, when they invited the so-called moderate and reformed Irfan Yusuf onto the show.

 Irfan buys his jihad from Tariq Ramadan. There is nothing ‘moderate’ or the slightest whiff of reform in his teachings.

Irfan Yusuf was invited on the show as a moderate voice from the Australian Islamic community to give his opinion on the recent Hizb ut-Tahrir ‘Innocent Until Proven Muslim’ conference. It appears he accomplished this undertaking, however the results are not what they seem.

Irfan’s opinions are about as relevant as the opinion of a dog in Pakistan. 

Irfan Yusuf made a meagre and dismal argument to suggest the 800 people attending the Hizb ut-Tahrir event in the southwest Sydney suburb of Bankstown is nothing much to be concerned about. Furthermore, he was quoted as stating, “there is nothing in their material to suggest they are in anyway violent” and “personally, I don’t think they’re a huge danger”. To complete this trifecta of ridiculousness he revealed he also believes, “Hizb ut-Tahrir are comparable to Andrew Bolt.” For our international readers, Andrew Bolt is a local conservative journalist and television host.

Lie about it, minimize the threat, deny everything and blame a kafir. How intelligent is that?  Answer: enough to get you on Oz TV.

Since the show was unable to find someone capable of providing an objective and informed perspective on Hizb ut-Tahrir, it’s only practical we dig a little deeper ourselves. It pains me, I would have rather spent my evening polishing the silverware.

The show is not ‘unable’, they haven’t tried. At the Australian Liberty Alliance we have plenty of people who know what they’re all about.

Maajid Nawaz gave an interesting opinion on the matter. Maajid stated, “don’t get me wrong, I’m not a conservative, but to compare those who wish to stone adulteresses, kill gays and cut off hands for theft with conservativism is, morally bankrupt.”

 Maajid Nawaz is irrelevant. 

Hmm, the opinion of Maajid is quite a contrast to the “meh, they’re not that bad” opinion provided by our ‘moderate’ Irfan Yusuf, who consequently it seems is anything but a moderate.

 Majids opinions make no difference to the doctrine of Islam and the shari’a. As a Muslim, he works towards implementation.

Burmese Monk: “May US citizens be free from jihad. May the world be free of bloodshed”

Erdogan’s Turk Bulletin throws manure at Burmese Buddhists again for wanting to get rid of Mohammedan headchoppers:

Firebrand monk Wirathu, once dubbed the “face of Buddhist terror” for his anti-Muslim sermons, celebrated with a four-line poem on Facebook.

Petrodollars have corrupted journalism a long time ago. If you pay for it, you find a hundred scribblers who call people names like “face of Buddhist terror” .

“Public security is the most important consideration/Donald Trump is the real leader/People love him so much/Nationalism is the priority,” he wrote.

“May US citizens be free from jihad. May the world be free of bloodshed,” he added in a statement underneath.

Myanmar anti-Muslim groups wax lyrical on Trump victory

Trump’s shock ascent to the White House topped a vitriolic campaign in which he promised to ban Muslims from entering the US and pledged to establish a database of those living in the country.

Myanmar’s anti-Muslim hardliners cheered Donald Trump’s election as US president in prose and poetry on Thursday, hailing the divisive billionaire’s triumph as a victory in the fight against “extremism”.

Trump is not “divisive”. Allah divided the world in believers and disbelievers.

Muslims around the world were left reeling from his surprise win on Tuesday, with many fearing he would bring in policies that could help bolster extremist groups like ISIL.

Trump said he would wipe them out, not “bolster them”.

But in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, a country simmering with religious tensions, hardline anti-Muslim groups waxed lyrical about his victory.

Burma is not “simmering with religious tensions”, Burma is under attack by Mohammedan headbangers who want to wipe the Buddhists out and make the country islamic.

Canuckistan: what’s the difference between an imam & a school principal?

Canadian Imam equates non-Muslims to “cattle”, slams homosexuality

The imam did not invent that.  This is not something that  just came out of his mouth. This is basic Islam 101:

In a speech in UAE (United Arab Emirates) on November 9, 2016, Bilal Philips urged Muslim students to acquire knowledge in the path of Allah and as a means to help the rising of the Muslim nation. He portrayed the non-Muslims in the West as secular and greedy equating them to cattle because of their sole interest in worldly life, in accumulating money and in having fun with no spiritual essence. In this regard, Bilal Philips slammed the Ontario sex-education curriculum that was designed by “homosexuals” to promote homosexuality. “Is that where you want your children to be raised?,” he asked.

 Bilal Philips will suffer no consequences for his anti-infidel, anti-homo incitement. After all, this is his religion and we all know what happens to those who criticize Islam, don’t we?

For that reason, lets take a look what just happened to a Canadian school principal who postet Islam critical material on Facebook, all factual, nonetheless, but does that even matter?

Canada: Principal apologizes for Facebook posts criticizing Muslim migrant influx

“Some of the Facebook posts the principal is alleged to have shared and commented on include: videos purportedly showing violent ‘Muslim takeovers’ of Paris and London, and one headlined: ‘Must see: Dutch mayor tells fellow Muslims they can f—— if they don’t like freedom.’”

In what way are videos of that kind “discriminatory” in any way? People seem to have lost the ability to think straight. This is just more of the stigmatization of opinions that those in authority deem to be unacceptable. It is a shame that the principal backed down so abjectly instead of standing up for the freedom of speech and the right to dissent.
