This is a dangerous move that will destroy Ireland as a free society if “hate speech” laws are enforced. This is because “hate speech” is an inherently subjective concept that can only be defined in accord with the principles and priorities of the person charged with the responsibility of defining it. In practice, “hate speech” […]
University of Toronto: ‘Rights expert’ accused of ‘anti-Palestinian racism’ for discussion of today’s anti-Semitism
UPDATE, May 27, 2022: Ensaf Haidar has tweeted this: Irwin Cotler has just learned, or should have learned, that no matter how much you try to appease the Left, Leftists will still come after you if you deviate from their orthodoxy. I would expect, however, that this lesson still eludes him. In February 2019, I […]
Facebook and Instagram allow death threats to Russian soldiers and Putin
This is insane, whatever you think of Russia and Putin. Why? Because once again, it sets a precedent. Facebook and Instagram have already shown themselves to be actively hostile toward those who dissent from the Leftist agenda. How long before death threats are allowed against them? This also is further evidence that “hate speech” is […]
Leftists demand Big Tech destroy Trump’s Truth Social before it even gets started
“Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,” says David Horowitz, and they’re getting out. Truth Social so far seems like a damp squib, with a huge waiting list and not much action inside, but for Left-fascists such as Samuel O’Brient, even that is unacceptable. All dissent from the Leftist agenda must be crushed. […]
France: Twitter suspends multiple campaign accounts of Zemmour and Le Pen
We have known for years that Twitter and the other social media giants were not neutral platforms, but they are more open and brazen about their efforts to silence dissent from the far-Left agenda of the global political and media elites. One prime reason why Twitter hates Zemmour and Le Pen is that they oppose […]
France: Muslim group sues councillor for criticizing anti-Western remarks in sermon, she vows to fight Islamization
“They will not silence me,” says Isabelle Surply. But they’ll keep trying. If they do not win in the courts, they’ll smear her as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Clueless and short-sighted Leftists will eagerly pile on. “Loire: an elected official denounces anti-Western remarks in a sermon, the council of Muslim worship files a complaint,” translated […]
Canada: Ontario Leftists introduce bill allowing banning of ‘Islamophobic’ protests
The bill “would empower the Speaker to ban protests at the legislature that promote hate.” In context, the “hate” in question is “Islamophobia.” The problem is that since 9/11 and even before that, Islamic advocacy groups and their Leftist allies have smeared as “hate” any and all opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of […]
Egypt: Journalist to be prosecuted for saying Muhammad didn’t fly to paradise on a winged horse
There is, of course, no historical evidence for Muhammad’s journey, and the story of it dates from the ninth century, two hundred years after he is supposed to have lived. However, because the story has Muhammad ascending to paradise from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (although Jerusalem is not mentioned in the barebones, elliptical allusion […]
Sundance Film Festival apologizes for showing documentary about rehabilitation of jihadis
As I explained in an article when this controversy began, “Jihad Rehab” endeavors to show how poor jihad terrorists imprisoned at Guantánamo are the good guys, and the U.S. government is the real terrorist entity. But even though it reflected reliably Leftist views, “Jihad Rehab” has been deep-sixed by the Sundance Film Festival. As I […]
Pakistan’s deputy permanent representative to UN claims ‘Islamophobia’ is escalating to pandemic proportions
The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, or discrimination against them, neither of which is ever justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. Islamic advocacy groups and their Leftist allies have been insisting for years that such analysis, too, […]
