State Department meeting with OIC to discuss free speech restrictions

Shameful indeed: the Obama State Department is meeting today with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to discuss ways to sweep away our fundamental protection against tyranny: the freedom of speech. More on this story. "A Shameful State Department Initiative," by Pamela Geller in the American Thinker, December 12:

Today the Islamized State Department will be meeting with the Islamic supremacist Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to discuss strategies and develop action plans in which to impose the restriction of free speech (or blasphemy, as truthful speech about Islam is considered in Islamic law) under the Sharia here in America.

Photos accompanying news reports about the upcoming meeting shows Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu at a meeting last summer in Istanbul. Such prominence is given to this totalitarian organization. That photo reminds me of Neville and Adolf.

The respect and deference that the United States is paying to the OIC amounts to surrender in installments. The very idea that the U.S. Secretary of State is meeting with the OIC to discuss "religious tolerance" is like having Himmler meeting with Jews to condemn Jew-hatred. Under Islam. there is a complete and utter absence of "religious tolerance" of non-Muslims living in Muslim countries under the Sharia.

The call for "respect and empathy and tolerance," coming from the most brutal and oppressive ideology on the face of the earth, reminds me of the "peace and equality" that was promised in Hitler's campaign posters for the Nationalist Socialist Workers (Nazi) party.

The OIC is comprised of 56 governments along with the Palestinian Authority. It also asserts authority over the Muslims living in non-Muslim lands, claiming that "Muslim immigrant communities in Europe are part of the Islamic nation." It also recommends, according to the renowned historian Bat Ye'or, "a series of steps to prevent the integration and assimilation of Muslims into European culture."

The OIC's foremost target is truthful dialogue about Islam, which it calls "Islamophobia" and claims hysterically is a "a crime against humanity" that must be criminalized. In line with that initiative, back in July, Obama's State Department reached a Sharia blasphemy agreement with OIC in Turkey. Hillary Clinton actually said this to the OIC:

We each have to work to do more to promote respect for religious differences in our own countries. In the United States, I will admit, there are people who still feel vulnerable or marginalized as a result of their religious beliefs. And we have seen how the incendiary actions of just a very few people, a handful in a country of nearly 300 million, can create wide ripples of intolerance.

She wasn't referring to Islamic jihadists. Clinton meant that the "ripples of intolerance" were those fighting against those jihadists.

Clinton went on to say:

We also understand that, for 235 years, freedom of expression has been a universal right at the core of our democracy. So we are focused on promoting interfaith education and collaboration, enforcing antidiscrimination laws, protecting the rights of all people to worship as they choose, and to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don't feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.

"Peer pressure and shaming." That is exactly what these useful idiots try to do with anyone and everyone who tells the truth about Islam and jihad: me, Robert Spencer, Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish, and more.

Free speech is our fire alarm; disable it and the House of Western Civilization will burn down.

I wonder how many of our fellow-traveler media who pride themselves on in-depth reporting will make the connection and show the absurdity of the OIC preaching "respect, empathy and tolerance" and "crimes against humanity"? Will the New York Times step to the bat? Hardly.....

O brave New World! Hillary Clinton calling for "peer pressure and shaming" is exactly what George Orwell warned against.... when will everyone wake up?

Is this the way the world will end, not with a bang, but with a {pathetic} whimper??

From the original article...

"...the topics and the agenda -- and those meeting in Washington -- have not been released to the public. Several attempts to obtain this list by Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) have been refused or deferred. Additionally, two formal written requests to observe the proceedings as well as participation on an NGO conference call were dismissed...

What have they got to hide? This stinks of treason. Quisling would have been proud.

The greatest and most unforgiveable sin is the betrayal of heritage which is the accumulated thoughts, actions, beliefs, and struggles of our forefathers.
Put Blair, Straw, Obama, and Clinton on trial for treason.
In the now delayed PROJECT ICARUS: The Wings Of Freedom, heritage was the top value. See the circle of values from the back cover.

If the American People would ever wake up to such actions by our own government and realize what is going on here when it comes to our first amendment there would be, and should be tremendous blow back against the Obama Regime.

There should not even be the hint of any dialogue between the US and the OIC when it comes to freedom of speech in America.

Islam is an oppressive political religion where ever it is, an oppressor of all freedoms and liberties, it hates all other religions with a violent passion bar none. America should not even dare to consider such a dialogue with Islam.

It should be considered a traitorous act by the Obama regime without question!!!

I would strongly suggest it is time for real Americans in our Government and across our country to stand up against this traitorous tyranny being conducted by Hillary Clinton and the Obama regime.

For Gods sake wake up America! wake the Western world and condemn politicians who dares to toy with our first amendment in dealing with Islam

Robert has written a book "Did Muhammad Exist?,I will definitely buy it.

The good news is that now Sam Shamoun and David Wood,the first is from answering-islam.org which is THE MOST popular website for consulting technical articles against Islam in itself.

The second has the blog answering-muslims.com,one of his videos against the Ground Zero Mosque has been viewed by more than 3.5 million,here is that video:

http://youtu.be/RxFzFIDbKpg

They are writing a book agaisnt Islam

But they need your financial support from December to March to take time off from work to complete it.Watch this DAVID WOOD video where he explains it alot better than I can

Free speech is the oxygen of Western Civilization.

AMERICA'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT IS NON NEGOTIABLE. WAY TO MANY AMERICANS HAVE DIED DEFENDING IT, ANYONE WHO TRIES TO OPPRESS IT SHOULD BE ARRESTED BY OUR US MILITARY FOR TREASON, AND THAT INCLUDES THOSE IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!!!!

Here is an article about:

"Theodora,Greatest Woman of the Byzantine Empire,and a Comparison between Justinian,her Husband,and Sultan Suleiman"

If those voting for US president next November help Newt Gingrich take Buraq Hussein Osama's job, this load of camel s*** will be rolled back within hours of his inauguration.

The OIC and their stooges at the UN have for some years been trying to get control of the internet: http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/12/islamic_supremacists_target_a.html

My guess is that these quislings, collaborators, dhimmis and traitors will hand it to them. Then Jihadwatch, Atlas Shrugs, Bare Naked Islam, Answering Islam etc will dissappear overnight.

Here's a real bottom line: The Republican Party in America is far more likely to protect and defend the First Amendment to the Constitution than is the Democratic Party. If anyone cares to disagree with me here, I'd be interested in their argument.

It ain't gonna work, vote whores.

"protecting the rights of all people to worship as they choose"

*So long as that "worshipping" jives with our laws.

"Peer pressure and shaming"

*Islam is unpopular in the U.S., probably in part because the doctrine prescribes the shitty treatment of females along with warring through life against anything non-Islamic. Peer pressure will not be plentiful here.

Well, well, Wellington, I think you and I are on just about the same wavelength about the First Amendment. The Democratic willingness to consider and implement "hate speech" laws is one reason why I simply cannot trust that party. I have absolutely no illusions that they'll ever use such "laws" to control people like Louis Farrakhan, Wreverend Wrong, Bill Ayers, or such-like.

And, having worked in Refugee and Migration Affairs when I was in the State Department, I find myself in rare agreement with Abraham Lincoln re his comment about fourth generation refugees.

I actually wrote to Gingirch's campaign site urging the candidate to make it a point to declare the ongoing statelessness of ex-'Eretz Yisroel Arabs in the Arab states an utter travesty that must come to an end, using various arguments about the Indian and Pakistani refugees, whose displacement started at about the same time, the Mizrahim, and, last but not least, the citizenship of ex-'Eretz Yisroel Arabs and their descendants in these United States.

Everyone, please note the term I have adopted--even if, while a Christian fundamentalist, I do not accept the Dispensational premillennial eschatology.

But, as both an ex-diplomat and a teacher, I greatly fault this administration for its wasting what, we call in the trade, "teaching moments". Terry Jones' burning of the Qur'an (which I still consider foolish) and now this love-fest with the OIC over "tolerance" would be perfect to explain to the world the importance of the First Amendment in American political life. Indeed, this wasting of the "teaching moment" gives me more of a sneaky feeling that the Democrats, or at least the Left Wing of their party, to which Obama and tMrs. Clinton both belong, may actually have a fundamental lack of commitment to the Free Exercise, Freedom of Speech, and Free Press clauses of the First Amendment. Perhaps this lack of commitment is even more serious, being a covert desire to see these liberties abolished.

"Obama and Mrs. Clinton both belong, may actually have a fundamental lack of commitment to the Free Exercise, Freedom of Speech, and Free Press clauses of the First Amendment. Perhaps this lack of commitment is even more serious, being a covert desire to see these liberties abolished."

I cannot imagine they themselves are able to change the First Amendment no matter how much they desire to do so.

To pass a law that opposes the First Amendment is not any President and his team has the power to do no matter how much inconvenience it causes to their Administrative tasks. There are other people in the Administration aware of Obama and Mrs Clinton's attentions, if that is really the case, they will never let anyone role over the First Amendment. The First Amendment is what makes us proud to be Americans.

I'm very much aware that the executive branch alone cannot change the Constitution. However, the Constitution can be killed by a thousand cuts, which has been happening. Further, a political class lacking a commitment to its principles can also destroy it, and this is what I believe could well be happening if the Left Wing of the Democratic Party gets its way with "hate speech" laws. These have the potential of doing the damage here that "insulting Turkishness" laws or "counterrevolutionary activity" laws have in Turkey or China.

Much of the world has constitutions every bit as high-minded as our own. However, these have generally been treated as scraps of paper when they conflict with leaders who have enough popular backing at a critical juncture in time or enough self confidence in their ability to rule by sheer force.

Already we have an unwritten addendum to the Constitution which holds that "minorities" (however they're defined) can do no wrong. For example, the Carter administration liked to go after Christian schools for lack of participation by enough "racial minorities", but they never went after the Nation of Islam schools. Further, freedom of association, defended by no-one less than Hannah Arendt, is one of those things that Leftist justices will NEVER find in the "penumbras" of the Constitution. One can even see the sort of justices that Obama-ites and their ilk might put on the bench ever zealous to protect a "right to privacy" in matters of sexual and reproductive conduct, while denying it to someone whose dislike of either homosexuality, Islam, or both somehow leaks out--in short, the behavior of this administration's political allies suggests that thought crimes are coming to legal codes near you (if you are American).

In short, while I fancy myself a believer in lex divino et naturae, I do not believe that something like the US Constitution can truly survive as a relevant document without a real commitment on the part of those sworn to uphold it.

We all need to be prepared to act against this evil and to be willing to file lawsuits when our freedoms are restricted and denied. When "equal protection under the law" is violated, we need to act, demand our attorneys fight for our Constitutional rights or get another attorney who can and will. We need to make it precedent that any and all Sharia=compliant laws are stricken down as unconstitutional or that we make sure they apply to protect non-Muslim freedom of religion and speech and conscience. It is humanity's war against Mohammad's Sharia.

We need bumper stickers that say things like:

"NICE just means pleasant"

"Believe what you want but obey the Constitution and Bill of Rights while in the U.S."

"Reject Obama's Sharia-compliant socialism"

The oath of Congress, Left and Right, is to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights"

**Appalling**.

What if we don't feel "shame" for speaking the truth about Islam? After that come even nastier strictures—such as fines and jail terms under "hate speech" laws.

Well, you're right, Blue Raven. But this is more insidious—Clinton and the State Department will just side-step the First Amendment, while either not referring to it at all, or even while falsely claiming to support its tenets.
