Your Daily Islamophobic

The Ezra Levant battle with Alberta HRC has brought into perfect focus our right as citizens of a liberal democracy to express our opinions. It’s a debate that Canada’s lemming population should’ve had a long time ago.

So, keeping in the spirit of things, here’s my contribution to Islamophobia.

On my Favorite Cartoon:

Let me make it clear that the point is not to attack Muslims as individuals … but to attack the doctrinal basis of their faith. We have every right to do so. We have every right to call a spade a spade or a barbaric doctrine what it is. We have every right to argue … say, that Jesus never existed, or that reincarnation is a fantasy. We have every right to criticize the beliefs and doctrine of any faith or political bent … once we lose that right, we will no longer be a liberal democracy. And, if it offends those who believe the doctrine we criticize … so be it. Part of living in a liberal democracy is being able to “suck it up!”

On My Greatest Sin:

There’s an unwritten rule among “progressives” that one is not allowed to condemn Islam. We aren’t allowed to say “I oppose Islam in general”. It’s not allowed because to do so is bigoted or racist (I’m not sure how racism gets into the equation). The understanding is that religions are above general condemnation (although you’d never know it by the far Left’s rants against Christians).

There Are No Muslim Extremists:

That video is a lie! That woman is a Zionist on the payroll of the CIA!

Posting that video offends me, and I am filling out my HRC complaint right now!

You hit the nail on the head with your comments on the true right to free speech.

There was never any justification to create the HRC in a free liberal democracy and if we do not yet understand that we must keep the pressure on our governments, federal and provincial, to dismantle them, then we shall have gone beyond the point of no return.

I couldn't watch that link more than a couple seconds, but the video of the Syrian/American woman was very good. It always gives me hope when I hear people who have walked the walk and have come through to the other side relishing their God given freedoms.

You know what, there is one thing in that I am complete agreement with IslamoFascists:

It's time to clean out the ROT from Western Civilization.

We just disagree with the results. In my scenario, Islam will be beaten down into submission (get it?) like a braking dog or a squealing pig until it goes back to sleep and Judeo/Christian Greco/Roman Liberal Democracy will continue to flourish FREE from Fabian, Gramscian, Marixist, Socialist, Fascist WHORES forever.

She is a very brave woman and I wish her well. I wonder what kind of protection she has to live under and how long she lives before some islamonutjob kills her.

Posted by: minuteman at January 14, 2008 6:15 PM

That was powerful. How could the feminist groups here in Canada watch that and go to bed at night protecting islam, and ignoring its brutality? I know that I would lay my life down to protect that woman who just spoke. Why are our Canadian feminist such cowards,hiding behind their incessant hatred for white males, using it as their cash cow? They know it is safe for them, they will never put themselves at risk. Can we not get females in a position of power who truly care about the plight of these women who live strangled in the chains of islam?

Just for contrast, here's Erica Jong:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/erica-jong/whos-tired-of-pink_b_81087.html

"I am so tired of pink men bombing brown children and rationalizing it as fighting terrorism. I am so tired of pink men telling women (of all colors) what to do with their wombs--which connect with their brains--in case you forgot. I am so tired of pink men telling us we should stay in Iraq for generations. I am so tired of pink men buying bombs and cheating schools..."

She goes on for a while. When you get to the end of all the things she's tired of it turns out to be a "Vote for Hillary!" commercial.

1)I wanna see Erica publish that screed in Saudi Arabia.
2)As a pink man I have decided to be offended by this. What are the chances of me getting a CHRC hearing?

Posted by: The Phantom at January 14, 2008 6:24 PM

I am tired of pink women and their hatred of babies because they are too lazy to be bothered with them. I am tired of pink women who suck money out of the taxpayers to tell other pink women to be lazy, and as self-absorbed as they are. I am tired of pink women who are cowards and would leave brown women in other countries to live like fucking animals. I am sick of pink women and wannabe pink women working for our government, and going on about how oppressed they are, when they don't even know the meaning of the word.

Posted by: Honey Pot at January 14, 2008 6:34 PM

She is one of my favourite people. Hopefully many more will follow her.

Posted by: northbaytrapper at January 14, 2008 6:37 PM

One very brave and wise woman making an important point. It is and will be difficult to reconcile our need to protect our culture with our commitment to freedom of religion, which, let's face it, is both part of our culture which is worth protecting and, at the same time, protecting those who want to destroy our culture. I don't know how to achieve that reconciliation.

Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim at January 14, 2008 6:37 PM

The women in Canada who are leading the important fight for freedom and rights are taking on our government so they can import sex toys and pornography to sell to their lesbian and gay customers. Some are simply wanting to be granted more money than their job pays them for what they do.

That is the womens battle for freedom in Canada.

All else pales in the shadow of the good orgasm or financial subsidy.

Contrast that to what the brave former Muslim women in the clip is up against.

Judy Rebick, Linda McQuaig, all the Rabble.ca gang and all other 'caring' Birkenstock women that are getting tax money to carry on their selfish fantasies can kiss my big old hairy butt.

I have just seen in that clip a real woman with a real cause with real courage. You all (women) should be doing nothing but supporting her in her cause. It is the only one at this time in history that matters.

Posted by: John West at January 14, 2008 6:53 PM

I agree completely with your opening comments cjunk.

Although the Conference of Islamic Countries do not. Here's excerpts from their bill of Islamic rights enshrined in Cairo, which competes with the UN's declaration of Human Rights:

"The Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam"

Adopted and Issued at the Nineteenth Islamic Conference
of Foreign Ministers in Cairo
on 5 August 1990.

The Member States of the Organization of the Islamic Conference,

Reaffirming the civilizing and historical role of the Islamic Ummah which God made the best nation that has given mankind a universal and well-balanced civilization in which harmony is established between this life and the hereafter and knowledge is combined with faith; and the role that this Ummah should play to guide a humanity confused by competing trends and ideologies and to provide solutions to the chronic problems of this materialistic civilization.

Wishing to contribute to the efforts of mankind to assert human rights, to protect man from exploitation and persecution, and to affirm his freedom and right to a dignified life in accordance with the Islamic Shari’ah.

Freedom of speech, thought, press?

Article 22
(a) Everyone shall have the right to express his opinion freely in such manner as would not be contrary to the principles of the Shari’ah.
(b) Everyone shall have the right to advocate what is right, and propagate what is good, and warn against what is wrong and evil according to the norms of Islamic Shari’ah.
(c) Information is a vital necessity to society. It may not be exploited or misused in such a way as may violate sanctities and the dignity of Prophets, undermine moral and ethical values or disintegrate, corrupt or harm society or weaken its faith.

All the 'reasonable' articles preceding the final two (below) are abrogated (just like the Quran):

Article 24
All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shari'ah.

Article 25
The Islamic Shari'ah is the only source of reference for the explanation or clarification to any of the articles of this Declaration.

---------------------

All one can surmise from this is that certain Imams that call for shariah in Canada are manipulating the rights we give them in order to install their own non-rights, dhimmitude, violence and death.

Interesting story on the possibility the Koran was NOT dictated by the Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet Mohammad during the 7th century, but rather was redacted by later writers.

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/JA15Ak03.html

I know just as much supposition could be said about the bible.

Could reprinting this story in Canada be cause for a HRC complaint from the "religion of peace and perpetual complaint" ?

Celestial's video I couldn't watch because of all the dissembling going on. How can these people be so flicking stupid??

The lady from Aleppo has it right. I've seen her before, when she was on Al Jazeera. Wonderful woman; femanists should be flocking to her.

Honey Pot wrote, "That was powerful. How could the feminist groups here in Canada watch that and go to bed at night protecting islam, and ignoring its brutality?" Good question!

Well, Honey Pot, I've got the answer: radical feminism is both fascist and hypocritical. Political feminists say they're all for tolerance, diversity, and freedom of choice. But, of course, they're in favour of no such thing. It's all a smokescreen for them to promote their narrow minded, repressive, "do it our way or else”, socialist agenda, and jackboot the rest of us into going along. (I’ve dealt with radical feminists and the Betty Crocker, “soft” (weekend) feminists—for whom I have even more contempt—first hand many times. I’ve never met such a humourless, arrogant, generally unintelligent bunch of dissemblers in my life. Well, except for really lefty men.)

There ARE Canadian women who have been speaking out against the feminist agenda for nearly 30 years and lobbying the government and mounting court challenges on their own dime. (Like the HRCs, the taxpayer funded, Liberal Court Challenges Program, administered by only bona fide leftists, has paid for vast amounts of feminist litigation.) Now, who would those brave, counter cultural—and right, all along!—women be? REAL Women, most of whose predictions about the fate of our secular, any-family-goes society have been amply proven.

(For decades, long before the Internet, the MSM have deliberately ridiculed and deep sixed REAL Women, just as the MSM try to do to those of us here. So, I find it distasteful that, even at SDA, these fine, strong willed, family-oriented, and shunned women, who were there long before the Ezra Levants of this country, are given so little credit. If you read this and cringe at the name REAL Women, smarten up! This group could be the template for Small Dead Animals. Kate and Ezra are wonderful: they’re honest, courageous, and tell, in these PC times, unpalatable truth to power. All well and good: REAL Women’s been doing the same thing, about most of the same issues—they’ve been writing about the HRCs, which I posted the other day—for DECADES. If you’ve been hoodwinked into shunning them, instead of putting them in the same category as the iconoclasts we admire here—Kate, Ezra, Ted Byfield, Mark Steyn, Kathy Shaidle, David Warren, George Jonas, Lorne Gunter, Tim Blair, etc.—give your head a shake.)

That said, I couldn’t be more delighted to see the torch being passed so openly, vigourously, and big time. It seems we might be on the edge of a huge counter cultural tsunami. We can only hope! (And pray. Sorry, Kate, if this suggestion is enough to get SDA hauled before some HRC. “Good Lord, deliver us”!)

The applause wasn't overwhelming. Western females must get behind the young girls and women in the Muslim world.
The first person to use 'Islam is a religion of peace' and later, 'Islam has been hijacked by the radicals' is the same person who has just signed a deal to sell arms to Saudi Arabia.

Posted by: gellen at January 14, 2008 7:35 PM

Glen,

It's an historical fact that the so-called 'immutable' Quran, an 'exact replica of the uncreated word of Allah,' was dictated to an illiterate desert dweller, without corroboration, and scratched out by copyists on whatever was available (rocks, bones, animal skins, etc).

Based on confusion and hundreds of years later, the 3rd Caliph, Usman, took some 24 different Qurans (one of which was allegedly Mohammad's) and cobbled together the one that all Muslims refer to today.

Posted by: irwin daisy at January 14, 2008 7:37 PM

Im waiting for a statement on Islam from either Judy Rebbick or Hot Cross Hedy Fry.

none forecoming , how about one from those elevated journalists, the GG or the former GG , the one that liked to galavant around the northpole on a taxpayer funded vacation with an entourage that would make Willie Nelson feel poor.

Posted by: cal2 at January 14, 2008 7:54 PM

Im waiting for a statement on Islam from either Judy Rebbick or Hot Cross Hedy Fry.

Who needs to wait? We already know what the statement would be, even in absentia: If we got rid of the white-dominated global patriarchy, and adopt a transnational socialist-feminist movement, all world problems will disappear in a matter of years. All problems are linked back to white, western colonial patriarchy.

Posted by: Mike Brock at January 14, 2008 8:07 PM

Yeah, a lot of heads need shaking, lookout. Even so-called "conservatives" need to get real.

We've used up most of our moral capital and have, as a very wise Native Chief once put it, shat in our own nest: never a good idea.

There's a lot of ROT, as you say, Doug, in Western Civilization, and unless we get real about where our strength has come from--our spiritual values--for hundreds of years, we're going down the tube. And real fast.

We can't have our cake and eat it too. Time to choose: Worship the One, True God and live. Or worship at the altar of utilitarianism, secularism, and convenience and die.

It's really quite simple.

Posted by: 'been around the block at January 14, 2008 9:25 PM

I thought illiterate meant you could not read or write, so how could an illiterate person have written what was supposedly dictated to him.
Is that why the book is full of scratches, lines and curves.
Has it ever been translated into another language.

Posted by: MaryT at January 14, 2008 9:53 PM

Lookout, well put.

Once again I wonder what issue will determine the type of lead used. Is this the tipping point?
I wonder where all these right wing extremists I hear about are? Are there any?
It does seem to boil down to a type of mentality reserved for the left for even the most trivial of issues and the further down I look the more I see. The right wing on the other hand can't even find that mentality for an important issue.

Posted by: Doug at January 14, 2008 10:12 PM

Hmmm. Just a thought on the video.

When the question is asked of the IMAM, his hands are under the table. Between the conclusion of it and when he answers, his hands go from under the table to being replaced during a strange second camera zoom in. I agree with the thrust of the piece except when that's done. It's like Cristina Lawand cutting and pasting questions over a Harper appearance before the media. It's unethical.

Secondly, I don't like the organ music being played in the background. The images are disturbing enough. No need to manipulate viewers by methods of Clockwork Orange-like techinques of conditioning.

In general, however, I agree with most said.

Intolerance is a great evil. All points of view need to be respected we have to guard against evil people who want to stop others from access to opinions contrary to their own.

Food for thought.

Posted by: Jim at January 14, 2008 10:20 PM

Yas, we know, SDA is fascist, we should love a good Nazi like Ernst Zundel, blah blah blah. Lemme guess, Anon is Jeff Davidson in drag, right?

Here's something for you Leftish boneheads to consider: Ernst Zundel, for all he was a disgusting racist and hate monger, never (to my knowledge) did anything other than talk. He never stole money, he never assaulted anyone, he never killed anyone, he didn't smuggle, or even cheat on his taxes. He talked. He wrote things.

In order to preserve my right to say what I want, when I want, PARTICULARLY if it is offensive to some people, I am fully prepared and indeed happy to ignore the likes of Ernst Zundel, or Erika Jong who for my money is no better than Ernsty baby, and every other freakazoid hate spewer out there.

Its a hell of a lot easier to ignore a few repulsive scumbags than it is to ignore the Ministry of Censorship jackboots when they take everything you have and throw your ass in jail. Talk to any 40+ year old immigrant from Eastern Europe, they will set you straight.

Posted by: The Phantom at January 14, 2008 10:23 PM

Jim says, "All points of view need to be respected." Is that right, Jim? (And from which public school did you graduate--or not?)

The idiotic idea that all ideas are worthy of respect is the lie that's got us to the place we are now.

No, indeed, ideas not worthy of respect do not need to be respected. In fact, we should expose ideas not worthy of respect--e.g., sharia law and suppression of free speech--and vigourously oppose them. (Note, Jim, I didn't say censor them.)

Jim, you seem to have missed the point of this thread.

Posted by: lookout at January 14, 2008 10:31 PM

I've been debating the Ezra Levant case with the guy who runs the Cracked Crystal Ball blog. He's entirely unsympathetic to Levant, accuses him of grandstanding, etc. He makes the point over and over that Ezra says there's no process, when of course there's a process--just look at it, see the process--and so on, so Ezra doesn't know what he's talking about, and Ezra's a nasty person anyway. So is Harper for that matter--he has a hidden agenda, yadda yadda. Check it out, or check out your favourite liberal/left blog. They don't like Ezra one bit...

Posted by: BillBC at January 14, 2008 10:34 PM

BillBC: That's because (L)iberals run the HRCs ... and the dipper bloggers know it ... they know that HRCs will only crush certian thoughts and notions, while ignoring, or even promoting others. Leftists know this intuitively, because it's their people who set the system up. Furthermore, leftist bloggers are for more state, not less.

Posted by: Paul2 at January 14, 2008 10:43 PM

Jim: "All points of view need to be respected" Jim, with due respect....no. All points of view must have the right to be expressed, absolutely. But respected, not on your life, or more likely not on your sister's or daughter's life. A point of view which makes a woman the property of her husband, with no more rights than a farm animal is not to be respected, but ridiculed. And opposed. By whatever means are required.

Posted by: Grithater at January 14, 2008 10:49 PM

Wonderful woman who has been there and seen that.

Excellent focus.

Total clarity without a flood of detail.

How would Muslims take over the western world; they would silence all the westerns, and that is exactly what they are doing - through fear, political correctness, and our own dumbass HRC. It isn't hard to take over nations when no one speaks up.

Has anyone else noticed the tone lefty bloggers take to condemn Macleans, Steyn and Levant?

- the accused are 'grandstanding' 'publicity hounds' playing at being 'martyrs'

- Macleans is owned by a 'multi-million dollar corporation'

In other words: the lefty blogs, most of which have, at best, one-tenth the readership of this one, are run by people who haven't amounted to much in life and are jealous of those who have.

These progressives sure are green -- in more ways than one.

These verses hit the nail on the head. The secular, materialistic West is inhabited by Peter Pans--people of many years who have never grown up. They think and act like children and have never put away childish things.
