The PDF thing doesn't come up on my computer. There's no way of actually showing the whole text is there.

The pdf works on my computer. However you need to have "adobe reader" installed. It is a piece of software you can download at this site:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Just follow the prompts and the download should work. Then once installed just click on the pdf link and you should be able to read it all like I can.

The best way to view the PDF is to right click on the link and select "Save Target As" and then save it to your Desktop. Then double-click on the PDF icon that appears.

Chilling, damn it makes
my blood runs cold,
the dhimmi judge
condemns the Xians
for telling the truth,
for the Xians tell the truth.

The mohammedans are at war with the Free,
they tell us why in their brotherhood manifestos
they tell us in videos,yell allah is the greatest
stab dutch artists, rape french women,
kidnap a poor brother and slit his throat
for working with the infidels.

It's the awe of mohammed and it works well,
ask the cowardly,ignorant maggot
who calls himself a judge
in this travesty on justice.

Or course, mohammedism incites hatred,
What sane person wouldn't hate a way of life
that causes strife, that rules by fear?
Murder and mayhem create the awe of mohammed.

We, the Free, take our stand,
we will not lose Freedom's land,
and on this Xmas eve so cold, so clear,
we will take heart and have no fear,
for soon Gabriel will blow his horn,
announcing that the love of Christ is born
for everyone, eternal love from above to below,
that defeats all woe, even the most evil foe.
Soon we can sing the Celtic Xmas dinner hymn,
very loosely translated as
"Praise the baby Jesus and pass me the pork."
Merry Christmas to all,
especially to those in Victoria.

Thank you Robert for your service
Thank you all for your contributions
May the new year bring you
health, happiness and prosperity

These laws are peculiar to the State of Victoria -- the rest of Australia has shown no enthusiasm for them at all. The state of Victoria has a lot of new idiot Leftwing rules, this is just one.

This 'court' is not a normal one, so far as I know, this case must be referred to a normal court of law, at which time, the verdict should be overturned.

Apart from the distress caused to the pastors and others involved, this is a good thing. It publicises the true face of Islam - many Australians, especially those who live in rural areas, are unaware of the threat posed by Islamic fanatics. Those of us who live in the major cities are only too well aware.

Well I just plowed through the witness testimony and haven't found anything that Pastor Scot said that is not true. If this case establishes precedence, Australia is in deep, deep yoghurt. Free discussion of the insidious truth of Islam will be a crime. This law will kill free speech and will enslave the Australian people. This case has no doubt already caused a winter chill to descend on free thinkers throughout Australia, so much damage is fait accompli.

The most populous Muslim nation on earth is on the Australian doorstep. It doesn't take much of an imagination to envision what it would be like if a horde of dhow and sampan borne millions of jihadis come to the "defense" of their beleagered brethren who are oppressed by the Australian "racists". Laws like this only serve to soften up the beach for the landing to come.

Islam or Liberty, there is the true choice. Islam literally means "submission". I choose to be free.

What is so bad is the vague language used in the law and the examples the Judge chose or was allowed to give weight to. An example: "rise up". Just WTF does that mean? There must be at 1,000,000 ways to "rise up". And what is "offended", what test can be applied to prove someone is "offended" or not and if so by what measure—a little or a lot? What incites hatred in one person may spark intellectual curiosity in others—oh, I forgot you a nation of sheep....

Well, to my mind the rest of Australia should be “offended” and “rise up” against these moonbats in Victoria. The idea of such thought control is repugnant to anyone with an intellect above room temperature. The law is nauseating. What a bunch of pantywaist you have there, who can’t stand for anyone denigrating anything or anyone, much less themselves. You’re in deep do-do when you allow the state to be the arbiter of truth.

Seeing this and goings on in Canada, Britain and Europe, no wonder we are at such odds with C, B & E. If this kind of mind/thought control is their vision of utopia, most American will pass on having any part of it. As they say around here, "Fuck Allah and fuck the horse he rode in on." Honey, cancel our plans for Oz. If I go there now, I might be gaoled for this post.

All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall—of the new American isolationism. Any speculations when the ethnic cleansing will start? Why,I believe it already has.

The price paid for intellectual pacification is the sacrifice of the entire moral courage of the human race. Who can compute what the world loses in the multitude of promising intellects too timid to follow out any bold, independent train of thought lest it might be considered irreligious or immoral? No one can be a great thinker who does not follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. In a general atmosphere of mental slavery a few great thinkers may survive but in such an atmosphere there never has been, and never will be, an intellectually active people; and all progress in the human mind and in human institutions may be traced to periods of mental emancipation.—John Stuart Mills

Don't the Australian courts recognise apostates of islam as expert witnesses? Someone please comment.

The Islamic Council of Victoria took Catch The Fire Ministries to court for religious vilification of Muslims. The defendants were Pastors Daniel Nalliah and Daniel Scot. The trial took place at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, before Judge Michael Higgins

Doesn't Australia recognize freedom of speech and religion?

John Howard, oh Mr. Howard, please chime in for all of us and fix this problem. You have the authority to do so, please use it.

I may have missed the discussion, but isn't the Philadelphia incident almost exactly like the incident in Australia, other than the offended party is gay instead of muslim and they were quoting from the Bible instead of the Koran? Apparently, Philadelphia has passed hate speech laws.

The results of this case would appear at first glance to have a major impact on the effort to expose Islam. Does anyone know if this case has merit?

Paragraph from WorldNetDaily.com's Joseph Farrah, titled, Free the Philadelphia 4:

...Four Christians are facing 47 years in prison for peacefully quoting the Bible, an action an unglued local prosecutor determined to be "fighting words" when cited among homosexual activists.

It all started Oct. 10, when a total of 11 members of Repent America attended a homosexual street festival called "Outfest."

www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42011

"When Judge Higgins signed the guilty verdict on Daniel Scot, he may have been signing the death warrant for free Australia — and maybe even the entire Western world."

This is somewhat of an overstatement as the State of Victoria's racial and religious vilification law has been widely condemned and is seen as an abnomaly brought about by slavish adherence to politically correctness of the current State labour government in response to to the usual suspects of special interest groups.
An embarrassment ? yes ! The beginning of the end for the west , no just for the Bracks ( Victoria) Labor government.

HOW odd though , that Judge Michael Higgins found Scot offended by quoting the Koran in a way that got "a response from the audience at various times in the form of laughter"....Laughter that is now a crime in the fair state of Victoria , laughter as opposed to the praisng of suicide bombers and armed Jihad by various Australian Muslim leaders is of course ,is of no concern. Best to silence the pastors .

Dear Christian friends: Let's not fight hate speech laws. Let's use them. When they're enacted, every time a high school teacher assigns a reading from George Bernard Shaw or Margaret Attwood, or a college professor assigns Marx, or an imam says we changed the Scriptures, we will bring suit. I'd urge wealthy Christians to band together to fund an organization specifically for the the sake of hiring researchers to find examples of anti-Christian bigorty or teaching and lawyers who will use hate-speech laws to go after Muslims, leftists, feminists, and gay activists. After all, they've made no secret that they hate us; and lie through their teeth every time they say they disagree with what we say but will fight to the death for our right to say it. Maybe they need a taste of their own medicine.

As if these VICTORIAN LAWS WERE not enough.
Last week we had an an ert exhibit in the streets of melbourne dedicated to the brave leaders of HAMAS "murdered by the heartless Israelis."
Now horror of horrors TARIQ RAMADAN has landed and touring the Victorian academia delivering his soft spoken taqiya to the intellectual left.

Even thinking about this is enough to give me a nose bleed. What a sad day for Australia. If they had said "go out and burn a Muslim family", I would understand a little, but they simply quoted from the Koran. This is a major attack on freedom of speech. It's huge.

Reprehensible, scandalous, vile, wicked, dastardly.... what can you say? Words are not enough somehow. Something has to be done about this Muslim tyranny. They ban all debate about Islam in their own countries, then they come here and now they ban it in ours. Bastards!
