...Freedom of expression IS the freedom to offend. <br /><br />Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief justice at the Nuremburg Trials, said: “The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish.” –<br /><br />Moslems believe they have a unique human right: the right to be free from hearing criticism.<br /><br />Anyone who violates the freedom from criticism Allah gave Moslems, should be killed.<br /><br />Fitna is one of the most important concepts in Islam, but it is a totally alien concept to Western philosophy. The concept of fitna totally abnegates our notions of free expression or logical discourse. The concept of fitna subjugates all thought to the method of Mohammed. <br /><br />‘Fitna’ is any disagreement with Mohammed. More precisely, ‘Fitna’ is any islamicly-incorrect thought which is communicated to others in the public domain. <br /><br />Mohammed discovered a brilliant way to criminalize differences of opinion with himself. He called his invention ‘fitna’ and made it the worst crime in his new religion. Any utterance that ‘tests’ Mohammed’s method is a chargeable offence and a capital crime if it persists. The religious charge of blasphemy veils the serious political charge of treason against Mohammed. <br /><br />Mohammed is Allah’s vice-regent on earth. Not only does Mohammed define the truth, but he has a right to punish those who disagree. Moreover, Mohammed is both the constitution and the Islamic state. By disagreeing with Mohammed, you are calling him ‘wrong’, ‘in error’ or worse yet ‘a liar’. That is slander and character assassination, but it is also the crime of treason against the Islamic Nation. <br /><br />The Koran tells us that words disputing Mohammed/Allah are more criminal than the deed of murder. This does not make sense. <br /><br />Obviously, something else is going on under the blanket of religion. That something is a political doctrine called ‘supremacism’. <br /><br />Assassination is the normative punishment for the crime of fitna. Killing a critic of Islam is a “good deed”, since it restores the honor of Allah/Mohammed and removes the threat of fitna from the community. Any Muslim is free to carry out the death sentence in the matter of fitna. In Sharia-dominated countries, no punishment will be given and the killer will be a hero. As well, the assassin is guaranteed entry to the highest rank in paradise.<br /><br />Jihad is holy violence. Violence is the way Allah removes fitna, removes the dross from pure Islam and removes the infidel scum from the earth which is owned by Mohammed. <br /><br />The infidels are to be brought under the control of the Islamic state in thought, word and deed and they are given no choice in submitting to it or not. Allah commanded violence so the infidels will be forced to receive the divine benefit of Islam…‘even if the infidels are averse to it!’ (Koran 9:33)” <br /><br />Islamic governments know fitna control is needed before discriminatory Sharia law can be fully implemented and jihad can go ahead. They seek to shut down the freedom of UN diplomats to discuss any human rights aspect of Islam. They cast a veil over Islamic discrimination against women and minorities in view of the radical claim that Muslims have a superior, unique human right that infidels do not possess. <br /><br />The Islamic right to censor ‘fitna’ trumps gender equality, freedom of expression, freedom to change one’s religion and other freedoms. In law, this specious argument is called ‘special pleading’. It is pure dualism and supremacism. In essence, this makes Shariah law superior to the UDHR and enshrines Islamic discrimination in the name of human rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21351773.post-19351568882102987812008-06-25T00:41:00.000+01:002008-06-25T00:41:00.000+01:00Dear Ms. Maryam NamazieHello - Thought you might f...Dear Ms. Maryam Namazie<BR/><BR/>Hello - <BR/><BR/>Thought you might find the following letter sent to the media interesting. It cites your essay. You would surely agree that this "freedom" that you speak of, ought also be extended to those humble plebeians who might dare challenge and dismantle your own 'uber' understanding upon which you too courageously challenge the status quo? Right?<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Zahir Ebrahim<BR/>Project Humanbeingsfirst.org<BR/>http://humanbeingsfirst.org<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>---------- Forwarded message ----------<BR/><BR/>From: Project Humanbeingsfirst.org <BR/>Date: Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 2:28 PM<BR/>Subject: Submission<BR/>To: editor@scoop.co.nz, editor@thepeoplesvoice.org, editor@pacificfreepress.com, editor@atlanticfreepress.com, editor@baltimorechronicle.com, LKazakoff@sfchronicle.com, jgreene@sfchronicle.com, Forum@sfchronicle.com, oped@nytimes.com, Diedre.Ware@latimes.com, op-ed@latimes.com<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dear respected Editors of the Free Press and Freedom of Expression,<BR/><BR/><BR/>It is ironical that essays and commentaries inimical to Islam like "Freedom of Expression and Political Islam" (on Scoop) and "Islam in America's public schools: Education or indoctrination?" (on San Francisco Chronicle) get all the freedom of "Expression" and "free speech" in both the mainstream and dissentstream presses, but an effective rebuttal to such "doctrinal motivators" only begets this "free speech" and "freedom of expression" in total vacuum! <BR/><BR/>One could die of sheer asphyxiation with so much "freedoms" to yell at the top of one's lungs in free-space!! Thus please do provide some "air" so that the much vaunted "free speech" can be carried to "others" on some MEDIUM other than the nebulous "ether" in free-space in order for "Freedom of Expression" to mean anything other than shear Machiavellian nonsense of the ruling elite to fool the masses! <BR/><BR/>Thanks!!<BR/><BR/>Zahir Ebrahim<BR/>Project Humanbeingsfirst.org.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Today's Press Release<BR/><BR/>A Response to 'Islam in America's public schools: Education or indoctrination?'<BR/><BR/>[June 24, 2008] The following rebuttal is issued by Project Humanbeingsfirst to the San Francisco Chronicle in response to their oped of June 11, 2008, written by the Chronicle writer Ms. Cinnamon Stillwell who is also of the Zionist thought-police Campus-Watch organization. As the SF Chronicle has historically never accepted any submission from Project Humanbeingsfirst, and since the article by Ms. Cinnamon Stillwell is of such urgent import to all of America today as its sons and daughters are deftly primed with "doctrinal motivation" to continually create the fodder necessary to fight the lifetime of "World War IV" – America's "Global War On Terror" – against a suitably demonized foe, this response is also being issued as an Immediate Press Release. >> Read More...<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://pressreleases-humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2008/06/pr-islam-in-american-schools-june242008.html<BR/><BR/>http://humanbeingsfirst.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21351773.post-40876138411857356142008-06-22T07:25:00.000+01:002008-06-22T07:25:00.000+01:00No matter how militant the rhetoric, in the end th...No matter how militant the rhetoric, in the end they are all willing to sit down with imperialism, and negotiate their piece of the pie.<BR/><BR/>Hamas has agreed to guard against attacks on Israel, by any group. <BR/><BR/>When Hamas fired rockets into Israel, they only hit the working class Jews. The Zionist leaders were glad to have Hamas, help Zionism's popularity.<BR/><BR/>Hezbollah after all that shooting a few months ago, only got a bigger piece of the government pie. No revolutionary change.<BR/><BR/>Hezbollah fired guns into Marxist from Lebanon's relatives porch, when they were drinking coffee.<BR/><BR/>Iran would reconcile with the US in one minute.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.com
