Freedom of expression means freedom to express one’s views even if they offend another. By ruling desecration of the Qur’an out of the bounds of the freedom of expression, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani demonstrates that he doesn’t understand what the freedom of expression is, or wants to destroy it, or both. “Qatar at the […]
Germany: After death threats from Muslims and smears as ‘far-right’ from leftists, writer stops criticizing Islam
I certainly understand how Constantin Schreiber feels, having been through all that myself, but he has just encouraged more threats, smears and intimidation by demonstrating that they work. “German journalist says he will stop criticising Islam after spate of threats,” by Peter Caddle, Brussels Signal, September 14, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A […]
Richard Dawkins: “‘Islamophobia’ is a deeply silly and pernicious abuse of language”
He is right about “Islamophobia” in general, as well as about the left’s inconsistency in welcoming and praising criticism of Christianity while smearing and deplatforming those who criticize Islam. “Richard Dawkins: Islamophobia ‘a Deeply Silly and Pernicious Abuse of Language,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, September 13, 2023: Celebrated atheist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins […]
Erdogan: ‘Instead of Islamophobia, we need to make mutual respect and a culture of coexistence prevail’
By “mutual respect and a culture of coexistence,” Erdogan means the West’s abandonment of the freedom of expression and submission to Sharia blasphemy laws. “Turkish President Erdogan calls for unity against Islamophobia,” by Diyar Guldogan, Anadolu Agency, September 9, 2023: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday called on the leaders of MIKTA, a partnership […]
Justice Department finally investigating whether Rushdie attacker had ties to Hizballah and/or Iran
It’s good of the wokesters in the Justice Department to tear themselves away from manufacturing white supremacist terrorists and criminalizing Trump supporters long enough to look into this. But they’re not likely to spend a whole lot of time or energy on it. “Justice Department Reportedly Looking Into Iran Ties of Salman Rushdie’s Stabber,” by […]
Sweden: Muslims enraged, pelt cops with rocks, set dozens of cars on fire in protests against Qur’an burning
Wherever there are Qur’an desecrations, there will be furious reactions and riots from Muslims. This is a consciously chosen course of action that originated in response to the Muhammad cartoons in Jyllands-Posten in Denmark back in 2005. The idea is to frighten and intimidate the West into giving up the freedom of expression. And it […]
UK’s far-left Guardian rejects Denmark’s surrender to Sharia blasphemy laws while calling Qur’an burnings ‘bigotry’
It is refreshing to see a far-left outfit such as the Guardian come out for the freedom of expression and against Denmark’s capitulation to Sharia blasphemy laws, but its dismissal of Qur’an burnings as “bigotry” is shallow and propagandistic. Salwan Momika, who has engaged in a series of Qur’an desecrations in Sweden, is not a […]
Sweden: Two people arrested and 10 detained after a violent riot at protest involving Qur’an burning
This is a prelude to Sweden following Denmark into capitulating, abandoning the freedom of expression, and accepting Sharia blasphemy restrictions. “Several arrested in Sweden over new Quran burning,” Euronews, September 3, 2023: Swedish police have arrested two people and detained around 10 others after a violent riot broke out at a protest involving a burning […]
Denmark capitulates, abandons freedom of expression, bans burning of Qur’an
The ever-witless Daily Mail says that “Paludan’s protest in January soured relations between Turkey and Sweden.” No. The Islamic outrage over Paludan’s protest soured relations between Turkey and Sweden. But as always, useful idiots in the West deflect the blame away from the jihadis, even as the jihadis threaten to murder them and destroy their […]
France: Muslim leads cops on dangerous car chase, screams ‘Allahu akbar! I’m going to blow them all up’
File S is France’s terror watch list. It is just as effective as terror watch lists in other countries, which is not at all. Frédéric later explained that he screamed “Allahu akbar” because “We scare each other with that.” Yes, that’s the idea, although it’s not actually a matter of scaring “each other”; the scaring […]
