UN: Denmark should have played the dhimmi and thrown free speech overboard

Let the UNHRC know what you think about their disdain for civil liberties:

http://www.unhcr.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/contact

Being force fed the overwhelming hypocrisy that is coming out of the this UN Human Rights Council is so ludicrous that is sadly laughable on its face when one thinks of all the denegrating and hateful cartoons that come out of the Islamic newpapers on a daily basis and in particular against Jews.

Driver please stop the car I need to get out, this windy road full of phony BS is making me sick.

Sorry, bad link. Try:

It's clear Islam has an ally in the UN when it comes to demanding it's critics be silenced. I would expect websites such as this one, as well as individuals like Mr. Spencer who have written books critical of Islam are next in their campaign of censorship.

It also demanded repercussion for people who see Islam equal to terrorism.

This is a particularly chilling statement. We can expect the UN to increase pressure on governments to crack down on those trying to raise awareness of the Jihadist threat, be it in media or the Internet. And given the dhimmi response in so many countries to the cartoon controversy, I expect many governments will comply.

We must be prepared to defend Freedom of Speech against the UN. JW/DW may well be the front line soon.

Maasha-allah.....this is unexpected support for Mohd.

Allah does indeed work in mysterious ways.

peace

PLEASE join us in London for the March for Free Expression next Saturday, 25th March!

Yesterday Arla posted ads in some arab newspapers where they condemn the cartoons, and literally beg the muslims to end the boycot, and to start buying their products again.

BTW: A new Arla product has begun appearing in arab countries in order to boost sales ;-)

If Christians s--- in their diapers

Wouldn't it be awful if a Bish heard you saying that?

Who is Bish?

Don't ask. It's a long story. Perhaps someone will have a bash at telling it.

Of course the MSM is complicit in the whitewashing of Muslim behavior, as seen by political columnist John Leo.

INCREASING MUSLIM VIOLENCE IN EUROPE IS NOT BEING REPORTED

Like many news junkies, I've noticed that stories putting Muslims in a bad light tend to be sketchy and underreported. A minor example is this comment by the head Muslim chaplain of New York City's prisons: "The greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House." In Manhattan, remarks like that are nearly as conventional as talk about the weather, so the controversy was fairly small.

It might have been larger if the media had shown any interest in other points the imam made. For instance that Muslim prisoners are being tortured in Manhattan, and that Muslims must be "hard against the kaffir"

A much bigger example is the misleadingly low-key reporting of the Ilan Halimi murder in Paris. We now know that Halimi was killed as a classic expression of Jew hatred. But with so much evasiveness and misdirection by police, government and press, it took a month to get that fact clearly on the table. He was horrifically tortured for three weeks, then slain. From time to time, neighbors had come to watch the torture or to participate in it. Nobody called the gendarmes.

At first the government and the press presented this story as a straightforward kidnapping for ransom. After arrests were made, the BBC worked hard to avoid using the word "Muslim," though verses from the Quran were recited during the torture.

The Los Angeles Times account of Feb. 28 shows how hard candor can be. It reported that the gang made hundreds of abusive phone calls to Jews and had systematically tried to kidnap Jews. But the reporters wrote this: "Rather than a premeditated anti-Semitic murder, it seems a more complex product of criminality and dysfunction in the narrow world of thug culture: a poisonous mentality that designates Jews as enemies along with other faces of 'outsiders.'"

Oh, please. If whites had tortured and killed a black man, I doubt that reporters would be carrying on about how complex and unpremeditated it all was. They would just say it was a lynching.

In an excellent article last week, Colin Nickerson of The Boston Globe said the crime was being attributed to a "predominantly Muslim youth gang" notorious for "virulent anti-Semitism." Very strong article. No dancing around, just good reporting.

Governments and the media often avoid calling terrorism by its proper name. Presumably the idea is to calm the public and avoid embarrassing Muslims. It took nine months for the FBI and the government to admit that the attack on L.A. airport in 2002 was a terrorist operation.

The same verbal dance took place recently when an Iranian student rented a large van and tried to run down and kill as many students as possible in North Carolina. He said he was attempting to "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world." But the university tried desperately to avoid the obvious T-word.

Tony Blankley wrote a Washington Times column, March 8, on the underreporting of Muslim violence. He said British politicians tell him there is increasing radical Muslim street violence, explicitly motivated by radical Islam, but not reported or characterized as such. Blankley said rioting Moroccan youths in Antwerp went on a rampage, beating up reporters and destroying cars, but police were instructed not to arrest or stop them. A database search shows little reporting on Antwerp riots.

Suppressing news, whether out of multicultural deference or fear, is a perilous business. We can't know how to react to upheavals if we aren't told about them.

Blimey. Talking to myself again.

Must get that head read.

Maybe the fact that Doudou Diene is from Senegal, a muslim country, an thus possibly muslim himself might have something to do with it?

Charles Martel,

Thanks for that (second) link. I've sent off an email.

“The newspaper also helped Islam and terror to be likened.”

Yes. Some cartoonists made cartoons, a few of which were about Islamic terrorism, and then a whole lot of Islamic terrorists carried out Islamic terrorism in response.

“[The report] also demanded repercussion for people who see Islam equal to terrorism.”

Then, I guess, to get people to stop seeing that connection they will have to punish people for reading (a) the news, (b) what the jihadists and Islamic clerics and scholars say, and (c) what the Koran, Hadith, and Sira say.

Koran, 3:151. “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!”

Koran, 59:13. “You [Muslims] are certainly greater in being feared in their hearts than Allah; that is because they are a people who do not understand.”

Koran, 8:60. “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides...”

The Prophet Mohammad: "I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)” Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220

Tabari VII:97/Ishaq:368 “The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah’s Cause. Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.’” (This describes the killing of Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, a poet who had allegedly composed verses deemed insulting to the Muslim women. For details of the assassination, see Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369.

Can anyone provide the link to the actual report by Doudou Diene to which Zaman refers? I've searched UN web sites but can't find it.

Would a UN report really state: "Jyllands Posten stands against tolerance and supports the clash of civilizations"?

Something just doesn't seem right here.

Valhalla: Hell, you gave me a good laugh! Allah Foods! Hahaha! I've said it before and I'll repeat it; 'Valhalla ain't no place for Allah..'

No civilized nation should be taking marching orders from some 3rd world clown named Doudou Diene. He's not Muslim, just a fellow traveler from Senegal

Without the internet we'd be totally F****D, and I don't use language like that lightly. No government or international agency and very little of the MSM can be trusted to say it like it is!

I just wrote to the UNHRC. Good idea posting that link, we need to get active immediately when these things hit the headlines.

what adds to the surreal absurdity of this UN report is that Doudou accuses the Danes of violating "freedom of expression." How can you swallow that? Could the writer of a satire have dared put such words in the mouth of a UN spokesman as a character in a sketch? After all, even a satirist needs to preserve a certain realistic verisimilitude.

When I read this I started to get annoyed, then I realised that the UN that created the UDHR no longer exists, this is just a shadow of what it was.

People who believe in freedom of expression or just freedom as laid out in the UDHR are at war with Islam and rather amazingly they are at war with the UN. The UN should withdrw this report and sack all of those involved in it..., it just shows now that the UN is an enemy of freedom.

Insulting images my "you know what." Just think of the turmoil that would erupt if the omnipotent mo was depicted as a wanker.

Funny by the way:

Mr. Doudou Diene (Senegal) was appointed by the Commission on Human Rights as Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in 2002. Mr. Diene is also Vice President of the International Council of Social Sciences and Philosophy and is a member of the International Council of Auroville. Between 1993 and 2002, Mr. Diene held the post of Director of the Division of intercultural and interreligious dialogue, UNESCO, during which time he worked on various projects on intercultural dialogue, including the Routes of Faith. He is the author of numerous publications and has chaired and been the distinguished guest on various panels.

And keep this in mind with regard to Senegal:

Religions: Muslim 94%, indigenous beliefs 1%, Christian 5% (mostly Roman Catholic)

What do you guess his religious background will turn out to be?
