UK Muslim group seeks to brand depictions of Muhammad as “hate speech”

Mar 10, 2015 5:09 pm By Robert Spencer

drawmuhammadfinal700“Hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder — it is whatever the group in power to doesn’t want spoken about or known. It is the powerful silencing dissent and challenges to their hegemony. If this initiative gets any traction, it will be a new indication of who has the real power in Britain.

“Muslim Action Forum Seeks to Brand Depictions of Mohammed as ‘Hate Speech,’” by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, March 10, 2015:

The Muslim Action Forum (MAF), a group that describes itself as “working on the front line to deal with affronts to global civility” has announced a legal and political strategy to have depictions of the prophet Mohammed banned in the UK. And according to a press release published on the group’s website last week, the group will work towards its goal via a combination of litigation and lobbying MPs.

MAF want depictions of Mohammed to be defined as a “hate crime” that is “perpetrated on the 3 million Muslims in the UK and 1.7 billion Muslims worldwide”. In addition to their litigation strategy, MAF say they will seek to amend existing legislation and present a Private Members Bill to Parliament that promotes the idea of ‘Global Civility’ in order to achieve their objectives.

“Global Civility” is a word you’re likely to hear more of in the future. It was the slogan of the Muslim activists who marched on Downing Street last month in order to protest the new depictions of Mohammed that appeared in Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine that became the target of Muslim terrorists in January.

The demands for censorship are not restricted to cartoonists. MAF’s website also maintains a list of “uncivilized expressionists”, who they define as people who suffer from a “psychological disposition of the human mind which insults and maligns others without care or consideration of consequences.” Their examples include Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses and the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. 

The National Secular Society is urging MPs not to cave in to MAF’s demands. Stephen Evans, the group’s Campaigns Chairman said: “We trust all prospective MPs will appreciate that there is no homogeneous ‘Muslim community’ and reject such unreasonable demands to undermine everybody’s fundamental rights and freedoms. Free speech is the bedrock of liberty and a free society – and integral to combating the spectre of Islamism. Now more than ever we need to preserve and strengthen freedom of expression, not capitulate to extremist demands.”

The news has also triggered concern in the grassroots atheist community. Chris Moos, a campaigner who recently faced attempted censure by the London School of Economics for wearing a T-shirt depicting a Jesus and Mo cartoon, explained the importance of religious satire. “Satire is a very good way of getting people to engage with a topic”, Moos said. “There are few things more effective than laughing at those in power, or satirising their power structures. It’s why dictatorships and tyrannies always censor the activities of comedians and satirists”.

Like most would-be censors, the Muslim Action forum don’t understand the Streisand Effect, a digital-era concept that describes how censorship backfires. Simply put, the more you try and stop people spreading information – or cartoons, in this case – the more they will do so. People don’t like being told what to do, and in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo and Copenhagen attacks, defiance is rightly seen as more important than “civility”.

Of course, the idea of “Global Civility” has allies in the progressive media. A few days after the Copenhagen attacks, the Guardian’s Hugh Muir urged western societies to “guard against the ‘temptation to be provocative”, and reminded his readers that although free speech ‘must be defended’ (by shutting up, if I follow Muir’s argument correctly), there are also ‘other obligations to be laid upon those who wish to live in harmonious, peaceful societies’….

    “Civility” rings hollow. Does that include calling people “cattle”, or “apes and pigs”, “the lowest of animals”? Or is that not civility?

        Yes it can backfire.

        See:

        The Calcutta Quran Petition by Sita Ram Goel

        http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/

        Muslims in India have often sought shelter under Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code (I.P.C.) for preventing every public discussion of their creed in general and of their prophet in particular.

        Quite a few publications which examine critically the sayings and doings of the Prophet or other idolized personalities of Islam, have been proscribed under Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code , as a result of pressure exerted by vociferous, very often violent Muslim protests.

        Little did they suspect that the same provisions of the law could be invoked for seeking a ban on their holy book, the Quran.

      “The Muslim Action Forum (MAF), a group that describes itself as “working on the front line to deal with affronts to global civility”..” Yes, I found THAT a laugh as well. And it’s not just the ‘jews are pigs’ business, it’s the whole islam setup. Frankly, Islam itself is an affront to ‘global civility’, we now unfortunately have the evidence to prove it, but these people are so up their own lumbar tuberosities that they wouldn’t recognise ‘civility’ even if it was as big as the SS Titanic. They simply have NO idea of the current western (AND oriental) concept of ‘civility’ because it belongs to a state of human development that is at a level of advancement way beyond their crude iron-age, pseudo-religious tribal ‘warlord’ criminal mindset, and, being the arrogant blinkered bigots that they are, they’re simply not intellectually equipped to recognise this fact, or even bothered to try. You might as well try and teach Advanced Level Philosophy to a First Grade remedial group. And Particolor has hit the nail on the head as well. The ‘muslim community’ has been ‘ripping off’ the ‘civilised community’ by attempting to plagiarise their intellectual property in order to validate and promote themselves in the Civilised World. They parrot the buzz words and the ‘clever’ phraseology just like pretentious adolescents putting on the ‘sophisticated’ bit whilst attempting to ape their elders in order to try to appear ‘big’ and ‘important, and claiming to be “working on the front line to deal with affronts to global civility” is just another example of this sort of pretentious twaddle. They really haven’t got the first clue what they’re talking about.

        Sorry, I should have added the ‘charity’ bit. Who in the UK has noticed that they’re trying to muscle in on the ‘worthy’ charity scene with their ‘Muslim Aid’ (or is it ‘Islamic Aid?). Clearly a rip-off of ‘Christian Aid’, but look at their website and, whereas Christian Aid genuinely tries to help everyone regardless of religion, ethnic identity, etc. (according to the proper ‘christian’ ethic), you’ll notice that ‘Muslim Aid’ is strangely selective in whom it helps. And they think that we don’t notice these things? Talk about ‘trying it on’!!!

    In terms of a suicidal mass convulsion in the West, you have to look all the way back to 1914 to see anything resembling what we are marching towards.

    The question is not Islam. Islam is simply being opportunistic in the face of weakness, as it always has and always will.

    The great issue and question of our day is what is driving the mass of the populations of the West to discredit their own society over one that is much more primitive and savage, even to the extent of being willing to see their own society and its many advantages replaced by it? That is the question, not Islam.

    For myself, I have absolutely no idea. This is hisitorically unprecedented.

      This is puzzling. It may have something to do with the hypnotic effect of television. People unhappy with the state of the nation, and feeling they can have little influence on the national betrayal by politicians all about them draw the curtains, shut out reality, and transport themselves to fiction-land, the soaps with their favourite actors. There is very little call on critical faculty: most telly-drugged are happy to have opinions supplied to them by a favoured “star”. Engagement with abstract concepts is not strong.

        Billy – The West has abandoned its own religion…

        That is an excellent call Billy…but then that is why you *are* kuffar. Muhammad SAW was right in that definition of non-believers.

        You abandoned the old testament ….watering it down to create a “civil” testament that lost it’s “meat on the bone”….fine example that to you children.

        Kuffara are leaving the religion of the West and flocking not only towards Islam …but also to fulfull their sordid fantasies to the most obnoxious example of muslims …you only have to look at the example of Oxford for that – obscene values.

        It is only a matter of time that MAF succeeds in one country …and then a domino effect will take effect.

        Spencer’s and Pamela’s venue of depictions of Muhammad SAW may well be the last one anyway…and as you get closer to May …they will face mounting pressure to abandon it ….it may not even happen.

        You will *never* recover the old religion of the West – you must accept Islam and Muhammad SAW as your prophet and Allah SWT as your saviour over the next decade or two.

        More Later …

          It was predicted in the Bible that a huge falling away would occur
          and that the “man of sin” would then be revealed. There’s no doubt
          that this man will be a Muslim from the Middle East. Your ‘Mahdi’ is
          referred to in Islamic texts as ‘lord of the age’ – that’s exactly what
          the Antichrist is referred to in the Bible. The Islamic ‘Jesus’ is also
          referred to as the ‘false prophet’ who leads many astray – the real
          Christ warned us about false messiahs. There are many, many more
          examples. Just because many naive people in the West are coming to
          Islam doesn’t mean that it is right.
          Don’t take my word for it, just look at this :

          If you have time why not watch these videos from an
          ex-Muslim who tried to convert his Christian wife. He
          took up her challenge to read the Bible and point out
          the ‘contradictions’. He was very shocked by what he
          read. Why not watch them if you’re so confident? What
          do you have to lose if Islam is so perfect?

          Dear Ms Rezali; muhammed himself stated in one of your hadiths that he is in the fire of sheol right now . Compare this to Jesus of the Bible teaching about Lazarus and the richman where Lazarus a poor beggar was comforted in the arms of Abraham (in paradise now with Christ) while the richman was in torment in the fire. When the Day of Judgment comes, those in the fires of sheol will be cast into the Lake of Fire of eternal Hell. Why would you follow muhammed who by his own admission was demon possessed mass murderer thief liar and pedophile?

          Mar 11, 2015 at 12:34 pm

          Hello Mr/Ms Mehil (whatever). May I reply to your post and may I quote you?…. “You will *never* recover the old religion of the West – you must accept Islam and Muhammad SAW as your prophet and Allah SWT as your saviour over the next decade or two.”

          O.K. Are you talking about the UK? if you are, here goes! (And I’m sure there are parallels in the US). Well, for a start, the main ‘old religion’ of the ancient Britons was Paganism, I believe, which (if I am correct) was a kind of non-personal pantheistic faith based on respect for the environment (‘God is in everything around us’ kind of thing). Very appropriate in this day and age, and I believe that it is actually enjoying something of a revival. And the very antithesis of Islam. I get the impression that you may be quite unaware of THAT fact. If by ‘the old religion’, however, you are referring to Christianity, then it is far from dying or dead and is indeed also enjoying something of a renaissance in the many small charismatic and ‘free’ churches around the country. You may be probably misled by the kind of reporting we see in the newspapers referring to the falling attendances in the Church of England, which is undoubtedly true. However, the C of E is only one of many denominations, the number of which (e.g., charismatic and ‘house’ churches referred to above) is apparently actually growing. There is also evidence of the Roman Catholic Church increasing its numbers, due partly to disillusioned members of the C of E converting but perhaps more as a result of immigration from eastern Europe. By the way, there is an opinion in the country that the C of E does not actually deserve to survive as a ‘church’ since it was founded for political, not spiritual, reasons, and is seen to be too closely connected to, and influenced by, the secular British Political establishment (which is partly why some are defecting to other denominations). So you can’t take the C of E as a guide to the state of Christianity in the UK. Also, bear in mind that a sizeable proportion of the UK population would claim to be of some kind of ‘Christian’ persuasion even if not active church goers, and most of the remainder would staunchly uphold ‘British’ values which are clearly Christian-based. No one would support social values based on Islamic ‘ethics’ (if they exist!!). Another thing to bear in mind is that the British as a whole never were openly obsessive about practising religion, so that even in the most ‘Godly’ Victorian period only about a half ever went to church with any regularity; things today aren’t that much different from what they ever were in the UK (just in case you were really counting on there being some kind of ‘vacuum).

          Which is all a very long-winded way of saying that the ‘old religion’ and/or its values have most certainly NOT gone in the West, and therefore there is no need for us to ” accept Islam and Muhammad SAW as your prophet and Allah SWT as your saviour over the next decade or two.” – or ever, I should hope! (By the way, I never knew that Muhammad’s surname was SAW!)

          PS. Did you know that, according to studies and surveys in the Press, China is likely to become the world’s largest Christian country within about 15 – 20 years or so? Apparently there is a huge house-church movement independent of the official ‘church’ there, and, as communism continues to weaken, it and democracy look like gradually moving centre stage. I’m sorry if that’s a disappointment for Mr SAW, your Prophet.

          ……………………………

          “Kuffar” is often translated as “unbeliever”, but this is not entirely accurate. Mohammedans believe Kuffar are those who *conceal* the truth. In other words, that they both know Islam, and also believe it to be correct. Note that they believe this applies—somehow—even to people who have never heard of that foul creed.

          More:

          You abandoned the old testament ….watering it down to create a “civil” testament that lost it’s “meat on the bone”….fine example that to you children.
          ……………………………

          More core Islamic belief—that Judaism (and Christianity) were initially just as savage as Islam, and the Torah and Bible just as vicious as the Qur’an, but that Jews and Christians changed their scripture. And note Rezali Mehil’s sneering at Judaism being more civil than Islam—Muslims believe that only bloody barbarism is “sanctified”. *Ugh*.

          She especially hates Robert Spencer, because he is a devout Christian who has Islam’s number.

          More:

          ……………………………

          “The most obnoxious of Muslims” and “sordid fantasies” is just a reference to “reverts” flocking to the Islamic State, which is Sunni. As a pious Shi’ite, the foul Rezali Mehil hates her fellow Mohammedans almost as much as she hates us “filthy Infidels”.

          More:

          ……………………………

          “Pressure”—from whom? Why, from Rezali’s violent coreligionists. Nice try, honey. I’ve already sent four cartoons, and have just finished a fifth this morning.

          Evil *hates* to be mocked.

          You will *never* recover the old religion of the West – you must accept Islam and Muhammad SAW as your prophet and Allah SWT as your saviour over the next decade or two.

          More of that Muslim “resistance is futile”. The idea that decent Infidels are going to accept this vicious tripe has Rezali slavering. But so far, the only Westerners “reverting” to this sick creed are hopeless losers—mostly violent felons and the kind of women who hook up with abusers. Pretty sad…

        Agreed, concerning or nation. Professing is the norm, with no actual possessing the rule. Thus God who is God has abandoned us over to our lusts. One chip after another. We have the kind of leaders we deserve. We have the kind of society we have built. And soon there will be no ‘value’ system in place to withstand that ‘internal’ takeover from within. Just exactly what are the values of America? Abortion? Homosexuality? No moral conscience? Or prudent observation as to what IS right from wrong. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ anymore. Just personal view. Ends justifies the means.
        Our religious values founded this nation for it was ‘black robes’ who signed the Declaration of Independence. Pastors who through their moral conscience towards God placed their lives, property and personal liberty into His hands to stand against what they considered tyranny. And many lost property, families and lives in so doing. We have come a long way from these values citing freedom from religion. Each step away from God has brought us to where we are now. From taking Bibles out of school, God’s name off public buildings, Prayer in public places and God cast out of our daily lives. We have lost God’s blessing on our nation. Turn your TV’s on and at 8pm any child can watch porn displayed from actors to commercials. What is left of innocence? Or common sense? America is longer great because we turned our backs to God and He is doing the same to us. There will come a day when I will not be able to post this kind of post. It is at the door. And it will come from commentators themselves my demise. We alone are responsible for the kind of world we live in making heavy choices with even heavier consequences. If we do nothing, then we are for something. I choose God, His values and standards. And I hope that my words will spark others to do the same.

      You have a excellent point. Maybe the politicians should view Islam as another opposing political party. A party set to destroy all that is not Islam.

      Pongidae Rex, what you write resonates strongly with me. It is like Islam/ Muslims prophit from a “vacuum”.

      I guess we would like the Western Democratic people become proud of their own culture and achievements again.

      The Muslims, they seem to know what they are in favor of, proud of. They have MIG-texts; Most Important Guidelines. Quran-Sunnah.

      Should Western Democrats not have their own MIG-texts? in future? In an attempt to show the world and the lethargic, good-natured but lethargic majority in Western Democratic Nations that there is Better, Positive Alternative To Islam?

      Whose MIG-texts could well be superior to those of Muslims. Why, only the other day David Wood showed how Contradictory, unclear, incomplete their MIG-texts are. They really are a disgrace.

      Western Democratic MIG-texts can be individually varied, and concise, but central could be: The constitutions of Democratic Nations, the values of Enlightenment, the Golden Rule.

    • Demsci says

      Mar 11, 2015 at 12:22 am

      Pongidae Rex, to expand on what you say.

      There now is (rising) Positive Psychology. And in existence also is Positive Deviance as a strategy.

      In the old, normal, way of thinking, ordinary people and professionals alike, seem to have some big set of norms about what constitutes “normality”, “what is to be accepted and expected”. Out from there, they, through experience or media or conversations etc, then become aware of “negative deviations” of that “normality”.

      And so now, with disturbing news coming in about (parts of) Islam and Muslims, those are now seen as “negative deviations”, and dangerous ones as that. And, hence, as something that must be diminished, fought.

      But the positive approach could be, after safetyconcerns are met, to lower our norms, and see human nature, succumbing all too easily to cults, and totalitarian politics, as imperfect as it is. And from this we can seek the “positive deviations”, and nurture, cultivate and support those.

      It is a bit like the “Blue zones” of Dan Buettner, with which he meant and described the pockets in the world where people seem to live longer and healthier, happier lives.

      So, how can we describe the, for many all too evident, better alternatives to Islam, to what Islam offers, aspires to? What about our own Most Importang Guiding Texts?

    Mr. Clegg told us that “”If anyone kills a human being it shall be as though he killed all mankind”, and that this is in the Koran (http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22652340).
    Surely all those assembled there were expressing that the Paris killing had been “as though he killed all mankind”?
    No? Mr. Clegg? Hello? Anyone there?

      It is the corollary of a Talmudic saying.
      Like everything else of value, Islam pilfered it as it pilfers or destroys anything of worth.

    The Left never has a problem being ‘provocative’ when they want something.

    Just a few weeks ago, Leftist George Galloway led a ‘SMASH PEGIDA’ march.

    Was that not ‘hate speech’?

      Leftists believe in free speech, provided you don’t disagree with any of their views.

      Leftists have a victimhood mentality, yet love to be the oppressors

      • Paul says

        Agreed. There’s also a set of rules, a code of ant-ethics by which
        certain types of Leftists live. This sounds a bit weird, but you will
        see this pattern of behaviour repeated constantly amongst
        Cultural Marxists. And people wonder why they are strangely
        allied with Islamists! There isn’t much mystery once you observe
        their behaviour and understand their own ideology.

        The rules are :

        1) Good is bad
        2) Bad is good
        3) Never oppose evil
        4) Only oppose those who oppose evil
        5) Deliberately misunderstand their logic and arguments
        6) Slander and scream at them and/or become violent so
        as to silence them

    Without the bombs and the death then they have nothing. Take it at it’s face value…. I laugh at it! Laws against pictures of your prophet… get the f**k out of here. You what?

    What are we talking about, it’s a joke right?

    Nobody’s laughing because that will get you killed. Still, take away the death, and the bombs… they have nothing. Nothing.

    The Quran is one long rant against “unbelievers”…..i.e. anyone who disagrees with Mohammed.
    The Quran is hatespeech against me.
    How dare anyone publish such filth.

    • Nathan says

      Mar 10, 2015 at 8:58 pm

      The Quran is hatespeech against all humanity. Plain and simple.
      The educated advocates of the Quran in the western world have no excuse, because they know what it says and they will pay for their crimes, eventually. We know who they are, they are on the tv in focus groups every five minutes!

      The worse it gets for us…. the worse it will be for them. Look at history. Time and time again the provocative scum pay dearly, and so they should.

    Would be nice if Islam learned about ‘global civility’, instead of causing chaos throughout a perfectly viable world.

    Future generations will scratch their heads in disbelief, at the antics of our leaders in order to avoid acknowledging that civilisation is under threat by a dysfunctional religious ideology.

  11. Nathan says

    Hate speech = thought crime = not worth the steam from my pi$$

    Drive it underground by all means, but don’t come crying to me when it erupts and destroys all that you have built.

    Hate speech is so Orwellian, who can listen to that?

    If you feel bad for letting people from a foreign religion into your country, to rape your women, you can guarantee you are a politician, nobody in my street has that power. Shame on you!

      We already have. Try calling a Pakistani a Paki in public and you will be trotted of to the nearest cop shop for inciting racial hatred.
      Its OK to call British a Brit, an Australian a Aussie, an American a Yank or a New Zealander a Kiwi, but God help you if you call a Paki a Paki.

        I wonder why it’s considered a racist word. I doubt that it
        started off being viewed as ‘racist’. It’s probably developed
        that way because the word was never used in a positive
        way, due to their complete non-integration in accordance
        with what is taught at the Mosques and Madrassas.
        I couldn’t care less about race or colour, but creed is of
        major importance. Hindus and Sikhs are ethnically similar,
        but there’s no bother with them, just as I’m sure there’d be no
        bother with Christian Pakistanis (God help them) had they
        arrived in mass numbers to the UK instead. Just goes to show
        how ludicrous the idea is that criticising Islam is somehow ‘racist’.

      • Cynthia in California says

        Mar 12, 2015 at 4:30 pm

        There isn’t an ethnic group called “Paki.” Pakistan, partitioned from India by the continual haranguing of Ali Jinnah in the late 1940s, is called Pakistan because that means “The Pure Land” or “The Land of the Pure Ones” (sorry; not sure which way the modifiers work).

        Not sure why it’s a “Hate” term, but it *is* an inaccurate one. There are other negative terms available, of course. 😉

    All i can say is the prisons will be full here.

    Adding, perhaps we can meet their needs by banning islam. Nobody practises the cult, the hairballs and ragheads dress accordingly to indigenous culture then there will be no issue.

    If you dont like me saying your cult is parasitica,l following the insane ramblings of a psychotic child molesting liar then bugger off out of our Christian country.

    The biggest criminals of hate crimes are those who define what “hate” is…….
    We need no hate crimes. Those who commit criminal activities are defined already in our body of laws; there has never in the history of mankind been any good come from so-called hate crimes, save for those criminals who propagate them.

    What about when the Muslim Scumbag Ragheads are out chanting “British Police go to Hell”, “Behead all those who insult Islam” , British soldiers murderers” etc…Is this not HATE SPEECH OF THE HIGHEST ORDER?”. Hypocrites spring to mind. As usual if they don’t like us take your family and ALL relations back to the shithole you left in the first place (for a better life…allegedly).

    Everyone should watch the last 8 min of this video.

    Last 2 questions.

    Super answer by Robert Spencer.

    158.23 demonizing of the opposition in all spheres that is a huge threat the society that has been a source of great prosperity and great human flowering for a couple of centuries now.

    158.42 only one view is allowed I know that and only one perspective is acceptable and that is a symptom of the problem I am discussing.

    158.55 ponder what might happen if you have a point of view that is one that is not allowed. Do you really want to be in that situation?

    15.10 or all points of view were not allowed and ideas would live and die on the basis of their truth not on one who found it acceptable of or not acceptable.

    99.9% certain that none of the views I represent are discussed or even considered acceptable to be discussed at this or any other university in this country

    200.40 and I do not believe that any one of who have read my books would honestly be able to say that there is anything hateful or inaccurate.

    200.28 in the mean time I know that the ideas I represent are not acceptable at universities and the ideas I represent are true. That is a bad ??

    NEXT question about hate speech:

    200.37
    She: we came to the conclusion that there is a difference between free speech and hate speech
    She: hate speech is not freedom of speech

    RS: what is hate speech?

    She: one that harms or threatens without any factual content, without expressing any valuable idea

    RS: who decides?
    Who is the arbiter?

    Concept of hate speech is a tool in the hands of the powerful to silence the powerless.

    ““Hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder — it is whatever the group in power to doesn’t want spoken about or known.”(see above)

    Mar 11, 2015 at 11:20 am

    Islam itself is hate speech.
    In attempting to make the cowardly and treacherous UK establishment stop
    the criticism of islam, it is attempting to make it impossible to describe evil as evil.

    Interesting. All the spewings of moHAMmad are hate speech against humanity.

    BUT…make sure you sign using some false or stupid information. I used Micky Mouse. When their petition is submitted , and the names are checked, if they see a lot of false names the petition gets scrapped.

    Yes, we will MOCK and ANNOY and INSULT about islam and Mohammed to the proverbial COWS COME HOME! And they deserve it! The koran is nothing but a murder book by a psychopathic madman. The sooner the media addresses this the better, but OH NO! Not with Hillary and Patraes and Obama howling about the “HOOOOLLY Koran.” What CLAP-TRAP! To read the koran is an exercise in HATE SPEECH itself – the calling by Mohammed to KILL Jews, Kill Christians, Kill non-beleivers, Kill apostates, Kill hypocrites, Kill gay folks, THEN Moham HATED: singers, musicians, dogs, alcohol (didn’t that NOT work in the USA in Prohibition???) and pork. Pigs are cheap and easy to raise. They feed the poor and the hungry very easily, as do goats and sheep. Pigs root hard ground and break it up hence it is easy to plow and raise crops. A friend had a potbellied pig show up at his house one day. So he kept her. She settled in and dropped a little of piglets a few days later – he said they could plow their snouts in the hard ground the likes he’d never seen – going after grubs and roots and breaking soil. Amazing creatures, and very intelligent. Food is food and to turn one’s nose up at anything provided it just arrogance. Mohammadans must never have gone hungry?

    • Cynthia in California says

      Mar 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm

      Pigs were also forbidden to the Jews, who shared the desert lack of water with the first followers of Mohammed. The anthropologist Marvin Harris gave his thoughts on the subject of “forbidden pigs” on p. 161 of his book “Our Kind”:

      …[a discussion regarding] “the ban on pork in the Old Testament and in the Koran. Pigs, which need shade and have to have their skin wetted down to prevent heat stroke and which don’t give milk, can’t pull plows or carts, and can’t thrive on grass, are a poor investment in the hot, dry Biblical heartlands….”

      Thus, the Deity was telling His people (of sorts) to avoid the flesh of this dis-economical animal; a dis-ecological one, too. Pork tastes good, but a religious edict *not* to eat it helped the small amounts of available water go farther: the water served people and the animals that functioned in multiple ways.
