France: Muslim groups sue magazine over Muhammad cartoons

"racial hatred... "---

And what race is islam again?. Oh, the pedohammedan buffoonery. Will it ever end?.

I assume the French Jewish community is now planning to sue Islam for the appalling and deeply insulting way in which they are being insulted on a daily basis?

I'm having the Koran reprinted in The Onion. I'm also working on a board game version with a concept that might work as a TV game show.

Tip:
Always back your anti islamic cartoons with islamic "holy" texts, links and screenshots.

Charlie Hebdo should do a 'run' of suitably illustrated 'famous quotes' about Islam, spoken or written by famous Frenchmen of the past.

Here is Voltaire.

"But that a camel-merchant should stir up insurrection in his village;

"that in league with some miserable followers he persuades them that he talks with the angel Gabriel;

" that he boasts of having been carried to heaven, where he received in part this unintelligible book, each page of which makes common sense shudder;

"that, to pay homage to this book, he delivers his country to iron and flame;

"that he cuts the throats of fathers and kidnaps daughters;

"that he gives to the defeated the choice of his religion or death:

" this is assuredly nothing any man can excuse, at least if he was not born a Turk [sic: or any other kind of Muslim - dda], or if superstition has not extinguished all natural light in him."

-Voltaire, Letter to Frederick II of Prussia, December 1740

And here is Montaigne:

"The Assassins, a people dependent on Phoenicia, are considered among Mohammedans as being of supreme devoutness and purity of morals.

"They hold that the most certain way to deserve Paradise is to kill someone of a different religion."

and:

"When Mohammed promises his followers a paradise tapestried, adorned with gold and precious stones, peopled with wenches of surpassing beauty, with rare wines and foods, I can easily see that they are mockers stooping to our folly to honey us and attract us by these ideas and hopes appropriate to our moral appetites"

Found in Chapters 12 (Apology for Raymond Sebond) and 31 (Of Anger), pp. 384 and 538, in "The Complete Essays of Montaigne" translated by Donald M. Frame, Stanford University Press, 1958.

And here is Montesquieu:

"It is a misfortune for human nature when a religion is granted by a conqueror.

"The Mahometan religion, which refers only to the sword, is more likely to motivate those with the same destructive spirit that founded it."
Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesqieu (1689-1755)

"De l’Esprit de Lois," Chapter IV, p. 403, from "Ouvres Completes de Montesquieu," compiled by J. Ravenal, L. de Bure Libraire, 2002.

(My hearty appreciation to a years-ago jihadwatcher who did some sleuthing in a good University library and tracked down these Quotable Quotes).

And they could cite this passage from Beaumarchais' 1784 stage comedy Marriage of Figaro (adapted by Mozart for the great opera), from the famous Freedom of Speech monologue in Act V, Scene 3:

"I cobble together a verse comedy about the customs of the harem, assuming that, as a Spanish writer, I can say what I like about Mohammed without drawing hostile fire.

"Next thing, some envoy from God knows where turns up and complains that in my play I have offended the Ottoman empire, Persia, a large slice of the Indian peninsula, the whole of Egypt, and the kingdoms of Barca {Ethiopia}, Tripoli, Tunisi, Algeria, and Morocco.

"And so my play sinks without trace, all to placate a bunch of Muslim princes, not one of whom, as far as I know, can read but who beat the living daylights out of us and say we are 'Christian dogs.'

"Since they can't stop a man thinking, they take it out on his hide instead...".

And more no-nonsense Frenchmen of the past, telling it like it is.

Diderot:

"When government is based absolutely [or completely] on religion, such as that of the Mahometans, then its fanaticism is turned outward, and turns these people into the common enemy of mankind."

The Encyclopédie (1751-1772) edited by Denis Diderot (1713-1784) "FANATISME, Page 6:393, Paragraph 42" http://colet.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/getobject_?a.43:84./projects/artflb//databases/artfl/encyclopedie/IMAGE/


"It is true that this book [the Quran - dda] abounds in contradictions, absurdities, and anachronisms, all found in great numbers.

"One sees clearly that there is [in this book] a profound ignorance of the simplest and best-known principles of physics, and that [surely] is the touchstone [for judging] those books which false religions claim have been written by the Divinity, for God is neither absurd nor ignorant, but the vulgar do not recognize these defects, in fact adore them, and the Imams employ torrents of words to cover them up."

The Encyclopédie (1751-1772) edited by Denis Diderot (1713-1784) "MAHOMÉTISME, Page 9:864, Paragraph 15" http://colet.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/getobject_?a.71:57./projects/artflb//databases/artfl/encyclopedie/IMAGE/

And from Gustave Flaubert, in a letter:

"Je demande, au nom de l'humanité, à ce qu'on broie la Pierre-Noire, pour en jeter les cendres au vent, à ce qu'on détruise La Mecque, et que l'on souille la tombe de Mahomet. Ce serait le moyen de démoraliser le Fanatisme."


(Gustave Flaubert / 1821-1880 / Lettre à Madame Roger des Genettes / 12 ou 19 janvier 1878)

The Charlie Hebdo illustrators might have some fun depicting Flaubert's suggestion..

And finally, there is Andre Servier:


“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher.

"Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was - and it remains - incapable of adapting itself to civilization.

Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.”

– Andre Servier, 1922

DDA, I can't help but note that a lot of those enlightened French wits you quote ended up unleashing a pretty pitiless fanaticism on their country when their disciples made their revolution.

Maybe the upshot is that a post-Christian faith tends to be a pretty ugly business?

If this case ever reaches court it should prove interesting if the contents of Quran, Sunnah and Sirah are revealed in court and become common knowledge. It will be difficult in court to do the old AL-insan al-Kamil and Uswa hasana trick. Furthermore, if the truth is revealed in court, there will be rioting in the streets in order to clearly establish Islam is tolerant and the Religion of Peace.

I must include this Quote I came across it sums up the situation in the U.K exactly.

"sadly the British so-called intelligentsia are so fearful of Islam that I am pretty sure that if a Muslim were to look at them, they would wet themselves for fear of being called a racist."

Hey, Robert, you look as great in a T-shirt as you do in business suits :)
