Thursday evening I was on The Glazov Gang discussing the Islamic War on the freedom of speech with Professor Bruce Thornton, author of The Wages of Appeasement and Nonie Darwish, author of The Devil We Don't Know.
Robert Spencer, Nonie Darwish and Bruce Thornton on The Glazov Gang discuss the Islamic war against free speech
CLIMATE OF FEAR AND INTIMIDATION: ARE THE LIGHTS GOING OUT?:
Here's a very incomplete list of organizations or people self-censoring, or hiring bodyguards, or going into hiding, or taking other precautions, and sometimes getting killed or wounded after receiving death threats and violence from Muslims following the example of Muhammad, who said there would be no punishment for murdering someone who had insulted him.
Audience in Lecture Hall, Queen Mary College, London (man goes to front of hall, films audience, announces he will track down anyone who says a negative word of Muhammad. The lecture -- on Islamic law -- is canceled.)
Monty Python comedian (self-censors in fear of Muslims)

Hollywood (self-censors by canceling a movie project about Jews in Malmo, Sweden, after learning of frequent Muslim threats and acts of violence against Jews in Malmo);
Talk-show host David Letterman (At Al Qaeda website a frequent commenter calls on Muslims to cut out Letterman's tongue and kill him.)
Paris Dipersico, author (beaten by two Muslim men for writing things "against Islam," such as "Islam is a religion of 'peace', and Muslims will kill you to prove it.")
Director of the museum in the Hague, Wim van Krimpen (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);
UK religious studies teacher Gary Smith (Muslims hit him over the head with an iron bar, fracturing his skull, hemmorhaging his brain, breaking his jaw, and slashing his face, for not teaching Islam as they deem appropriate)
Norwegian politicians (Iraqi-born cleric Mullah Krekar threatens politicians with death if he's deported from Norway).
State Senator Greg Ball (receives suspicious package with greeting "Asa Lamu Laikum Dead Man Walking," (the first part of which is Arabic for "peace be upon you") ;
2010 Tennessee candidate for Congress Lou Ann Zelenik (death threats from Muslims);
Barrister Tom Zreika (seeks police protection after non-stop phone threats from Muslims);
Japanese translator of Rushdie, Hitoshi Igarashi (murdered);
Norwiegan translator of Rushdie, William Nygaard (shot);

Atheist Sabri Husibi (death threats from Muslims);
Lyricist Javed Akhtar (death threats from Muslims);
Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard (almost killed by a Muslim with an axe);

Lawyer Majed Moughni (death threat from Muslim);
Author Taslima Nasreen (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);
Disc jockey/musician Jakub Rene Kosik (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);
Coptic Orthodox priest Zakaria Botros (Al Qaeda bounty of $60 million on his head);
Pop star Deeyah (hires extra bodyguards);
Politician Shiria Khatun (forced by Muslim threats to her children to dress in a "less Western" manner);
Christian minister Dr. Peter Hammond (death threat from Muslim);

Artist Sooreh Hera (self-censors in response to Muslim threats and forced into hiding);
Artist Sarah Maple (gallery workers threatened, gallery window smashed, 24-hour police protection);

150 Austrian Coptic Christians (Austrian interior ministry found jihadist list targeting each of them for violent attack);
100+ Canadian-Arab Christians (each one targeted on an Al Qaeda website);

UK Muslim scientist Usama Hasan (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);
Islam expert Robert Spencer gets a death threat; and another death threat; and another death threat; and yet anoth...well, you get the idea.
Robert Spencer continues to speak out, but countless others are self-censoring in response to the climate of intimidation. The lights are going out. The growth of Islam means the death of civil liberties. It's time to resist.
Interesting 3rd video!!
Nonie Darwish - said Alexander the Great he wasn't interested in Arabia - he passed by Arabia twice - on his way to and from conquering Egypt!!
As Robert points out - historical criticism of Christianity and Judaism - helped transform these religions -
- and obliviously the same thing hasn't - happened in Islam because of the threat of death.
So western society is now faced with a religion - which has undergone no significant reformation - where introspection is equal to blasphemy - and apostasy - and that's a real problem.
If Muslims were happy to live like the Amish - then we would not be wrong to say that's what they believe and leave them alone - women in burqas men in beards in some sort of isolated area - but Islam doesn't work like this - it's imperialist - it seeks out conquest.
Before the west rose - Hindus were the problem. And the Hindu complaints on Muslim conduct - from 70 years ago sound little different from ours.
::
Those Dearborn Christians said that Muhammad's men ordered that the earliest versions of Islamic scripture be burnt and that more would have been added - except, according to Aisha - a kid goat - ate some of the scriptures - she had saved! It is also said that some of the men charged with committing the Islamic scripture to memory - died in battle.
Chaos!!
::
[Second video - Zimmerman case - too much play on race - sounds like the neighbourhood-watch guy had a little problem with control - and despite being told not to - got out of his car and went over to another guy - who ended up dead. Normally, you just don't kill people.]
Zimmerman could be arrest than faceing charge of murder, it have nothing to do with race but with justice. The policeman want to arrest him but the police chief and State DA said no. He did prejury when he said he was attack than his story is falling apart.

Speaking as a someone who came of age during the Silly 'Seventies, I wish I had a green American dollar for every time I have heard Leftists spout the Shibboleth of "I disagree with what you say but will fight to the death for your right to say it." However, at this stage in my life, I'm pretty cynical whenever I hear it, for I've seen the movement which once called for freedom of all political speech calling for their opponents' positions to be censored as "hate speech".
