Must-see video: Sharia: Threat to American Freedom, a conference at which the standout American Freedom Law Center lawyers David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise spoke in Cincinnati last week. A highlight of Muise’s presentation is his discussion of our American Freedom Defense Initiative freedom of speech cases. Don’t miss this one.

The Freedom of Speech in Islam and the desire to live life according to Sharia?
Only if you have a death wish or be some kind of masochistic in love with death.
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that among other evils, the vile Qu’an calls upon Muslims to subjugate and humiliate non-Muslims and force them to pay the jizya.
Quran: 009.029 “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
With zombie-like obedience, the Islamic scholars and khalifas followed murderous little Muhammad’s every word and deed and elaborated upon the dictates of the Quran which are to be applied in jihad against those who do not accept Islam nor agree to pay the Jizya. The infidel males capable of bearing arms are to be massacred; the infidel women and children are to be enslaved; the movable properties of the infidels are to be plundered; their lands are to be expropriated; their places of worship are to be destroyed; their priests and monks are to be killed and their scriptures burnt.
Those who agree to pay Jizya are to be treated as dhimmis who are allowed to live and work for the Islamic state under the following 20 disabilities: (1) they are not to build any new places of worship; (2) they are not to repair any old places of worship which have been destroyed by the Muslims; (3) they are not to prevent Muslim travellers from staying in their places of worship; (4) they are to entertain for three days any Muslim who wants to stay in their homes, and for a longer period if the Muslim falls ill; (5) they are not to harbour any hostility towards the Islamic state, or give any aid and comfort to hostile elements; (6) they are not to prevent any one of them from getting converted to Islam; (7) they have to show respect towards every Muslim; (8) they have to allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings; (9) they are not to dress like Muslims; (10) they are not to name themselves with Muslim names; (11) they are not to ride on horses with saddle and bridle; (12) they are not to possess arms; (13) they are not to wear signet rings or seals on their fingers; (14) they are not to sell or drink liquor openly; (15) they are to wear a distinctive dress which shows their inferior status, and which separates them from the Muslims; (16) they are not to propagate their customs and usages amongst the Muslims; (17) they are not to build their houses in the neighbourhood of Muslims; (18) they are not to bring their dead near the graveyards of the Muslims; (19) they are not to observe their religious practices publicly, or mourn their dead loudly; and (20) they are not to buy Muslim slaves.
The “law” of Islam also prescribes death penalty for those who (1) question the exclusive claim of Islam as the only true religion, and of Muhammad as the last prophet; (2) try to revert to their ancestral faith after having been forced or lured to embrace Islam; and (3) marry Muslim women without first getting converted to Islam. Non-Muslims are also discriminated against in matters of testimony in law courts, taxation, and appointment to public offices. To sum up, the status of non-Muslims in an Islamic state is that of hewers of wood and drawers of water. They are subjected to every possible indignity and pressure in order to force them into the fold of Islam.

We humans place much trust in history to provide us with answers for the future.
Yet history is more a tool to show us our past mistakes.
We place greater value on the words spoken in our past than we allow for the words spoken in our present.
“The times they are A-changin” by Bob Dylan may well be adopted in the future as being a message that was unread in it’s time.
The fact is that I can sit here & post a cryptic message to all who read it, without the need for travel or to consult in person.
When i reach the faces on the cliff & take my place upon the ledge I trust the wheel will give me the insight to right the wrong.
Where the face of the stranger in the shadow is what i fear more than the reality of the situation I have placed myself in, I know in my heart it is his wisdom & guidance that I seek most.
There is a lot that history has seen but has not recorded & there is a lot of history that has been destroyed by the generations that follow.
The past cannot show us the future but the future will show us the past.
