Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Freedom of speech for criticizing Islam? There’s apparently no room for that in America.”

May 6, 2015 11:40 am By Robert Spencer

behead-those-who-insult-islam-1Brent Bozell articulately skewers the hypocrisy and cowardice of both the Left and the Right in regard to the defense of the freedom of speech. “‘Hate Group’ Blamed for ISIS Attack,” by Brent Bozell, May 6, 2015:

Liberals claim to be the world’s boldest defenders of freedom of expression, which is, of course, nonsense. Here’s another canard: Liberals also claim to be the most offended against anyone “blaming the victim.” What liberals possess is an ideological system which identifies favored groups as victims and supports squelching the free speech of anyone challenging them.

One of those favored groups is Muslims. Over the weekend, the American Freedom Defense Initiative held the Muhammad cartoon contest in Dallas, obviously a provocative event. But it wasn’t meant to result in two Islamic extremists showing up with assault rifles, later shot to death by police after they opened fire.

Two men identifying as ISIS have now attacked America — in our homeland. So how did the press respond? Liberal journalists deplored AFDI’s exercise of free speech and blamed the targeted victims for the attack.

Within hours, ABC described AFDI as “notorious for its anti-Islamic views.” The shooters were not “notorious,” the shooting targets were. On the Monday evening news, all three “objective” networks were repeating a leftist group’s highly emotional “hate group” designation.

“It happened at a Dallas suburb where a group [that has been] labeled an anti-Islamic hate group was holding a Prophet Mohammad cartoon contest,” announced NBC anchor Lester Holt.

Washington Post national reporter Lindsey Bever wrote a highly negative article labeling AFDI leader Pamela Geller as an “incendiary organizer” of a Muhammad cartoon contest. The Post, too, went to that same highly emotional leftist source for a smear. Geller was labeled the “anti-Muslim movement’s most visible and flamboyant figurehead.” In addition, “She’s relentlessly shrill and coarse in her broad-brush denunciations of Islam and makes preposterous claims.”

On MSNBC, Chris Matthews blamed AFDI for “causing” or “provoking” the shooting. NBC terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann even claimed they were not holding a free-speech event: “These people are not standing by that principle; they’re standing by the principle of hatred for other people. That’s their guiding light. That’s what they do. They are intentionally trying to provoke a response from the Muslim community.”

This spin is obnoxious and offensive. By this standard, MSNBC spends most of its waking hours operating on the “principle of hatred of other people,” people who define themselves as conservatives.

Activists like Geller and her partner Robert Spencer are making a provocative point about how free speech is being uniquely curtailed out of sensitivity to Muslims, who apparently “earn” this sensitivity by being violent or making threats of violence. Liberals and their media outlets have no such sensitivity toward Christians or Jews.

Freedom of speech, not religious sensitivity, was the mantra for the media when the National Endowment for the Arts subsidized the maker of “Piss Christ” in the 1990s, as it was when museums hosted Chris Ofili’s dung-spattered “art” work on the Virgin Mary, as it was when the National Portrait Gallery promoted a video of a crucifix with ants crawling over the body of Christ.

But freedom of speech for criticizing Islam? There’s apparently no room for that in America. They won’t even show the cartoon.

And who was their source, anyway? The Southern Poverty Law Center — yes, that group that has also labeled the Family Research Center a “hate” group for supporting traditional marriage, leading to an assassin using their “hate map” to go to FRC’s building and open fire, seriously wounding a security guard, with the intent to kill as many staff as possible, before being subdued.

The leftist media know that. And still use SPLC as their source.

      Quotable:

      “What liberals possess is an ideological system which identifies favored groups as victims and supports squelching the free speech of anyone challenging them.”

        Mortimer, my friend, let’s please balance the statement about MSNBC et al by checking out Fox News with an unbiased eye. Their Clinton-bashing has become frenzied and frantic, in their own race to see a conservative elected to our presidency. They are decidedly partisan, and on balance, so are the MSM in their liberal “hatreds,” and poor choice of so-called victims, right?

        I keep turning the channel with every new headline bashing the Clintons because it’s become so boring!

      The freedom lovers, whatever few of them there are, can turn things around in this country (USA). All we have to do is tell people how the US is different from Europe and from the rest of world. The reason why we (Americans) need to differentiate ourselves is because everyone assigns us under the category ‘westerners’, and even most Americans are unaware that there is something unique about the US.

      What is it that differentiates us from the rest of the world, you ask!

      Is it the Grand Canyons that differentiate us? No, there are many large canyons all over the world.

      Is it the high mountains, or deserts? No, there are many large mountains and deserts in the world.

      Is it the fact that USA is [considered] a wealthy country? No, there are many wealthy countries in the world.

      Technically advanced, educated?? No, there are many technically advanced and highly educated nations in the world.

      There is one primary thing that differentiates the US- The US has the First Amendment enshrined in the Constitution that guarantees people Free Speech! No other nation has that! Many [nations] claim that they too give Free Speech rights to their people, but there versions of Free Speech always have conditions. (Usually the condition is that the citizen cannot offend another). Only the US’ version of Free Speech is free of such conditions (for the most part).

      That is what differentiates the US, and we need to tell everyone about it, because the Left and liberals will not! The nice thing is that whereas many of us hesitate to talk to others about Islam, we do not have to hesitate at all when we tell them about Free Speech and how it makes us unique 🙂

        I agree with you to a point. But, the second amendment is almost as important.

        The first amendment guarantees you protection from a totalitarian or authoritarian government. In fact, it sets a guidelines for the government.

        The second amendment gives you protection against any group of 3 thugs with a baseball bat who decide to attack you and take their chance with the law. Without the second amendment, the first amendment simply affirms your right to be terrorized by thugs and street gangs. It makes you totally dependent on government protection. What if the government wants to shut you up, but has its hands tied by the first amendment? It simply would be slow to respond to an emergency call.

        May 7, 2015 at 1:45 am

        All the Amendments in the world mean nothing if they are not defended. It’s thanks to the marvellous efforts of Pamela and Robert et al that they are being defended. Most of the government it seems are trying to annul constitution. ALL of America needs to wake up and try to understand what is going on. If they fail to understand then the price of that failure is subjugation and tyranny.

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          May 7, 2015 at 1:48 pm

          People will defend Free Speech only if they understand what it is AND if they emotionally connect with it (that is, if they feel by heart that Free Speech is something that is THEIRS). We are in a situation where even the major media is getting away with saying nonsense like “Yes you have Free Speech rights but you can’t provoke people and can’t put lives in danger.” Them saying such things shows how poorly they understand this right.

          Hence the first thing for us to do is to educate everyone regarding Free Speech and somehow make them feel that it is theirs. Robert and Pamela are doing a great job but we, the readers here, too have to do our part. We need to start an educational campaign and talk to our friends about it, our coworkers, our relatives, and post cool placards on Facebook etc. (To begin with, keep Islam out of the discussion and concentrate only on Free Speech)

    It’s trues, it is a common misconception that the reason why Jihadists attack those who transgress Islamic Law is a consequence of being “provoked” or “upset”. They are basically like policemen enforcing their law on our soil, which is why they rejoice. We are being invaded, as their enforcers successfully implement their way of things upon us.

    They even have enablers among us.

      May 7, 2015 at 5:13 pm

      You are so right, Mix!

      In fact, this “common misconception” of hurt feelings only disguises these people’s need to attack infidels, per the Koran’s imperatives, and see it reign supreme in the world.
      We know that the only reason they vent their “feelings” with animalistic violence is
      their desire to promote islam, by stealth or violent jihad, in order to be good muslims.

      And the weak-kneed liberals keep drinking this blatant camouflage as though it were mother’s milk.

        And that is the text , in the Sermon on the Mount, that seems to hit many a Muslim ‘seeker’ squarely between the eyes, when they first venture to surreptitiously pick up a copy of the Gospels.

        It jumps off the page and simply explodes inside their mind like a sunburst, because it’s so utterly different from everything they’ve been taught and experienced within the Ummah…it awakens and feeds the part of their humanity, their inborn human capacity for empathy, that – however damaged – has by some miracle of grace remained alive enough to make them unhappy with Islam, unhappy enough to overcome the fear and start looking about for something, anything, else.

        It’s the text that ‘grabbed’ ex-Muslim now-Christian Mona Walter.

        If I recall correctly, it was the Sermon on the Mount that also thoroughly ‘shook’ Mark Gabriel, of Egypt: formerly a Muslim, now a Christian, author of a useful and truth-telling book called “Islam and Terrorism”, among other things.

        It’s the text that ‘grabbed’ a Kurdish scholar in Turkey who (on hard times) had accepted the job of working with the Bible Society on a Kurdish translation of the Gospels.

        Here’s part of the story, from a Bible Society “World Report”, No 399/13, February 2 2006:

        “As he became immersed in reading and translating the New Testament, he found that he was being deeply affected by it.

        “He discovered that Christianity’s culture was quite different from that of Islam.

        “Certain Bible teachings highlighted the differences strikingly. “It totally changed me to deal with how you are taught to forgive people, to love people and live with them in peace. The Bible says ‘Love your enemies and your neighbours’ and ‘Treat your neighbour as you would like to be treated.’ This affected me.”

        “From then on, while still a Kurdish intellectual, “In my heart,” he says, “I believed in Jesus.”

        “When I recognised the Bible, I learned to be flexible… to listen to people… to forgive them… and to be more patient.

        “For example, if you are among Muslims, you would always fight.
        “I don’t want to fight; I always wanted to convince people, to argue with them. … to understand them.”

        “The year after he became a translator he undertook a short course in Christian theology.
        “Since giving his life to Jesus Christ, he has been a vocal advocate of the Christian faith..”.

      Romans 12:18 “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men”

      And this has not been abrogated by something else written later when some Christians felt they needed to punch somebody for insulting them, or they decided they lost their temper so someone needed to lose their head to the sword.

      And *peace* in the Bible means the real deal, not a pretend, a lying until getting strong enough to overwhelm with war as is the case with evil islam.

        being at peace with one another is a condition worked by the Living God, who is righteous. He can save His enemy and the enemy may come to be at peace with Him.

        but, the Allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) with much gaiety and delight, has ordered its slaves to wage war against those who love righteous ways.

        so the slaves – who think that Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) have a great need to know they’re going to damnation unless they come away from the Allah god of islam and its spokesman and, instead, become devoted to the Living God who seek to save those lost.

        the slaves have need to know that they are offending the Living God by abiding in their idolatry and blasphemy seeking to serve the Allah god of islam, which is malevolent through and through.

        the slave must come to know peace with the Living God for there to be peace among “the others.”

        barring a miracle where GRACE is embraced… fat chance

We should all be IMMUNE to this notion, which has no standing among us infidels. What’s going on here?

    Islam is amazing in its ability to infect normally rational liberals to go into the same Islamic Frenzy that we see in muslim demonstrations. Instead of “Death to America” they want “Death to Free Speech” and are holding high the same “To Hell With Your Freedom” banner.

    As Churchill observed, “Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.”

Therefore the followers of Islam use death threats to silence the critics of their religion because they have no foundation of truth , logic or reason to defend Islam.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center is a bunko scam by its director to secure a plush lifestyle and bank account for himself, while sprouting off on his favorite preconceptions:

    “What has infuriated the SPLC’s liberal critics is their suspicion that Morris Dees has used the SPLC primarily as a fundraising machine fueled by his direct-mail talents that generates a nice living for himself (the SPLC’s 2010 tax filing lists a compensation package of $345,000 for him as the organization’s chief trial counsel and highest-paid employee) and a handful of other high ranking SPLC officials plus luxurious offices and perks, but that does relatively little in the way of providing the legal services to poor people that its name implies.

    CharityWatch (formerly the American Institute of Philanthropy), an independent organization that monitors and rates leading nonprofits for their fundraising efficiency, has consistently given the SPLC its lowest grade of “F” (i.e., “poor”) for its stockpiling of assets far beyond what CharityWatch deems a reasonable reserve (three years’ worth of operating expenses) to tide it over during donation-lean years. But even if the SPLC weren’t sitting on an unspent $256 million, according to CharityWatch, it would still be a mediocre (“C+”) performer among nonprofits.”

    “…Morris Dees [founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center] won a judgment for a black woman whose son was killed by Klansmen. She received $51,875 as settlement. Mr. Dees, according to an investigation by the Montgomery Advertiser, pulled in $9 million from fund-raising solicitation letters that featured a particularly gruesome photograph of the grieving mother’s son. Mr. Dees, who pays himself an annual salary of $275,000, offered the grieving mother none of the $9 million her son’s death made for him.”

        I agree with you about Morris Dees’s descent into disgrace. It’s a real shame, considering that his original goal of fighting for victims of racist crimes in court was laudable at the time of the SPLC’s inception. Some of his agents even went to heroic lengths to uncover evidence of the klan’s crimes in building their legal briefs.
        I never dreamed that he could be corrupted by all that money.

    The two Muslims who fired at police officers with military rifles…were they ‘victims’?

    And while the freedom of expression is attacked, the President of the United States is silent.

      the current occupant of the White Hut is a very , very dangerous and twisted
      lunatic. A groveller, quisling and eager appeaser. barry should be in gitmo, that will never happen. if the US survives the remaining 560 odd days of his “government”
      the ruin the next president inherits will be vast and ugly.

    The problem with ‘freedom of speech’ is that one side (the good one) believes it means the freedom to hold and express opinions and to tell the truth from generally available information. The side of darkness means it as the right of their pet journalists to have free access to confidential documents of government and business in order to publish the contents of those documents, whether it endangers people or not.

    What is fantastic is that, while we allow and excuse islamist supremacy, at the same time we leave islam strenghten. Just as a reminder, islam negate the very fundaments of Christianity: negation of Trinity, negation of Jesus as being son of God, negation of its divine nature, forced submission required by islam to Christians etc. Even without being a bigot, I find this interesting. We must be absolutly blind to listen to any comment of the members of an ideology that implicitely negate any of our funding values … what do we expect as an outcome?

    The Modern Left is an enemy of free speech. One knows this or shoud know it. Often what the Modern Left does is describe free speech as “hate speech” if it doesn’t agree with what the Left wants, if it doesn’t fit into the Leftist agenda. For example, the Modern Left will describe anyone standing up for traditional marriage, as an institution which requires gender differentiation, as a bigot. This is pure Orwellianism.

    Unfortunately, while the Modern Right knows this, at least intutively if not outright, the Modern Right, speaking here in the aggregate, has become pathetically and horribly timid (e.g., Mitt Romney), proving that it is not enough to be correct about something, you must also have the resolve to tenaciously and uncompromisingly defend what you know is correct and true.

    In short, and as I have already noted before here at JW, the Modern Left has lost its mind and the Modern Right has lost its guts. Perfect combination for Islam, I submit, to make entry into the West for the purpose of “destroying Western Civilization from within.” Well, Islam already has made entry, now hasn’t it, courtesy of Western mindlessness and Western gutlessness.

      Wellington – have you ever read any C S Lewis? I think you would enjoy a book that he wrote, called “The Abolition of Man”. Because he was making much the same point as you have done. Indeed, ‘The Abolition of Man’ includes a chapter or subsection entitled, “Men Without Chests”.

    Anyone calling Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer bigots is inciting hatred. Hatred of the people that defend free speech. Isn’t there a law against this?

    “…But freedom of speech for criticizing Islam? There’s apparently no room for that in America. They won’t even show the cartoon…”.

    Give our American, very obviously Pro Islam and Pro Muslim, Pandering and Sympathizing, “Imperial Potus” and His Regime, Credit for that.

    That’s why it’s good that we still do have the Internet and can Bypass the Print and News Media “Censorship” if necessary – well that is UNTIL the Potus shuts THAT down too.

    Personally, I have Downloaded AND Saved ALL of the “Cartoons” and more, to Multiple Storage Media’s.

    Founder of Islam was well aware he and his teachings have lot of Flaws and many may point them out. He had the fear if that is allowed, the Boasted Supremacistic Religion will Collapse. So Fatwa; ‘Kill anyone who find Flaw with him and his Teachings’.
    The Reward for this killing is Entry into Janaah (Islam’s Paradise) where mating with female youths and drinking wine are the main activities. This is the motivation for these sort of Cruelties by Boasted Spremacists.

    Anyone yet called attention to the fact that this “fatwa” calling for the death of Pam Geller is a LEGAL RELIGIOUS ISLAMIC DOCUMENT? Hope sultan Barry’s ears are never attacked by truth, it would be harder for him to remain in cahoots with iran and islam and be the world’s protector of islam” if US citizens finally realized he has been lying and subverting the nation for years!

    Remeber not long ago, sultan Barry said he would destroy isis … yet another lie.

    That’s the Looney Left for you – defending Islam above defending our Constitution.

    Can someone once again please tell me how the Looney Left is more “patriotic” than anyone else?

    Yup.

    Once Islam succeeds in its claim of exceptionalism relative to all other ideologies, as it has already done in the US media, then it is game-over for Freedom in America.

    When an ideology can claim exceptionalism on the sole grounds that its adherents who have immigrated into host countries world-wide will violently attack any who disagree with it, then it is game-over for Freedom in the world.
