No one is in favor of actual “stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on their religion.” The problem is that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which is driving this resolution, considers any truthful speech about the global jihad and Islamic supremacism to be “stereotyping, negative profiling and stigmatization of people based on their […]
Critic of State Department/OIC meetings on restricting free speech detained as “security threat”
Pamela Geller has the incredible story here: “Emulating their Sharia Partner, the OIC, State Department Detains Andrea Lafferty as ‘Threat,’ ‘The very restriction on free speech the UN Resolution was pushing is exactly what they used against me’”: The Obama administration is harassing and detaining law-abiding patriots. SIOA and the Traditional Values Coalition have been […]
Muslim states mark 9/11 by condemning terrorism, unless it’s against Israel
“Terrorism” is ultimately not much of a signifier. It refers to a tactic of war that has been used by different groups throughout history. The caveats that the OIC countries make here are telling enough, and in any case their condemnations of terrorism will be utterly void of meaning unless they specifically include Islamic jihad […]
Secretary of State Clinton says State Department will coordinate with OIC on legal ways to implement UN’s resolution criminalizing “defamation of religion”
Moving rapidly to criminalize telling the truth about how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to encourage violence and supremacism. Free Speech Death Watch Alert, and an update on this story: “OIC/Islamophobia: OIC Observatory warned since 2009 against the growth of the extreme right in Europe, Washington plans to host a meeting […]
U.S. Secretary of State and EU buy into OIC’s “religious defamation” charade
Western powers, often driven by political correctness, bend over backwards to speak in generalities about fighting “intolerance,” “stereotyping,” and “discrimination” in order to appear principled and even-handed, even at the expense of acknowledging specific, pervasive cases of all of the above. The EU’s document of “stuttering timidity” in response to the violent persecution of Christians […]
Sudan: Bashir’s “final solution” in action
Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has made abundantly clear his intentions for the remainder of the country after South Sudanese independence became official: a plan of cultural and linguistic Arabization, and the imposition of Sharia. Bashir is already wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide, and the U.N. says he has now unleashed a “devastating” […]
Secretary of State Clinton tells Islamic organization dedicated to crushing free speech that Islam and the West can agree on tolerance
In the current state of affairs, in a way, they can, but not in the way the Secretary of State meant in her comments to the Organization Formerly Known As The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OFKATOIC). Islamic groups continue to press their demands while their spokesmen engage in deliberate deceit about the limitations of […]
U.K.: Baroness Warsi becomes first government minister to address the Organization Formerly Known as the Organization of the Islamic Conference
Supremacist symbolism The OIC has just recently re-branded itself, changing its name from the awkwardly-worded Organization of the Islamic Conference to the still-awkward Organization of the Islamic Cooperation. Perhaps something like the “Organization of the Islamic Nations’ Cooperation” might sound smoother, but the abbreviation would create some issues of its own. It has also changed […]
OIC changes name, still wants to criminalize truthful speech about Islam, wage jihad against Israel
New sheath, same scimitar. “New Name, Same Old Focus for Islamic Bloc,” by Patrick Goodenough for CNS News, June 30 (thanks to Sayyid): (CNSNews.com) — The bloc of mostly Muslim-majority states has a new name and logo but, despite the momentous upheavals across the Arab world, “Palestine” and religious “defamation” continue to top its agenda. […]
With OIC-approved text, Tajikistan appeals to U.N. to stop Norwegian firm from republishing Muhammad cartoons
Priorities. This is what you use the United Nations for: stopping a private entity in a distant country from republishing some drawings in a book. Under any other circumstances, the absurdity would be obvious and rightly laughed off, but, of course, double standards abound. “Tajikistan urges UN to try to stop republication of Muhammad cartoons,” […]
