Jihad Watch

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

Video: Media rushes to abandon the principle of freedom of speech

May 14, 2015 12:16 pm By Robert Spencer

Here is a terrific video showing the mainstream media rushing to abandon the principle of the freedom of speech and to establish and reinforce the principle that in the face of violent threats, we should surrender and give those doing the threatening what they want.

This only means that we will get more violent threats. After all, they work.

      If you don’t criticize an ideology that promotes atrocities, you are promising the terrorists they can win by terrorizing MORE.

      By doing nothing to destroy the ideology, you will get unending terrorism until the terrorists have everything they want. Then they will terrorize and kill one another.

    If you tell a muslim boy over and over again that he is ( better than his sister), ( better then the disbelievers) ( better than everybody else)… well when he grows up and realizes that is NOT TRUE, that has a profound affect on a human being. You will get hyper sensitivity, denial of any wrong doing on his part, and most of all you will get hatred for everybody else

      Good point Ricky Black. Islam has “hate speech” written right throughout its texts. They are taught that they are the “best of people” so therefore non-believers are supposed to be inferior, but Pamela Geller gets attacked for pointing out the FACTS about this religion. If she is pointing out facts- why is that “hate speech”?. Islam is the ONLY religion that has hate for unbelievers written into its text, so where is the real “hate speech”?

      These media types defend freedom of speech BUT… basically they are patsies, helping to destroy the west. They are about as courageous as Neville Chamberlain in 1938. The media can lie on our behalf as “we can’t handle the truth” but eventually the truth will come out, whether it is via Pamela Geller or someone else.

      Salman Rushdie described people like the news entertainers in this video, and it’s a classic, as “But people”, as Mark Steyn pointed out in his latest essay. Rushdie came up with this great name of course while in hiding from the Ayatollah’s fatwa condemning him to death by Mujahidin execution for his book The Satanic Verses.

      But what? Even if Geller had exhibited lies and slanders that’s ok. Hell, Moslems do it all the time. So do the news entertainers, some of whom get Pulitzer prizes. And our own President Obama is a known and proven liar. The fact that he’s still got a 50% approval rating is dispiriting, as is the fact that Geller is accorded such disapproval, even though *she* exhibited the truth and is telling it now.

          Obama is the POTUS and a Harvard lawyer who told Americans he was imposing a blasphemy rule in favor of Islam.

          Obama FAILED to defend Pamela’s free of expression even when two ISLAMIC TERRORISTS came to murder her and everyone around her.

          A POTUS who doesn’t defend FREEDOM? Obama is unworthy.

      I call this this the Divide-By-Half Syndrome. As set forth by M.P. Keith Joseph back in the 1980s, there is an inexorable drift to the left, with every election cycle fed voters by every graduating class. So, dividing by half now to meet in the middle is a helluva farther left than where the halfway point would’ve been back in the day of Reagan and Thatcher.

      Oh, and the reason the direction of the drift is to the left is that, as Marx realized, democracies favor the numbers and most people are just fine getting free money transferred to them from others at the point of a gun by the gubmint, which ultimately has police power to enforce laws, including the tax laws.

      Trouble is twofold:

      1) Sooner or later a gubmint runs out of other peoples money, and

      2) With each transferred unit of wealth there is freedom lost to the central gubmint that manages the transfer.

      Gubmints, inexplicably, have an affinity for Moslems. My speculation is this is because they are mostly non-white and are almost in need of other peoples money to attain even a minimum standard of living in the Western country stupid enough to legally import them in the first place.

      Divide by half, yeah, but the midpoint keeps moving in one direction. And there’s always another division operation to be done down the road. Divide by half is the moderate way, the middle, and this results in millions of well fed Moderate Moslems, Unicorns galloping in the green fields of the West.

    Even HUMAN “Prophets” have NO right “NOT TO BE MOCKED” – and the same thing goes for Islam’s Muhammad.

    The horrific truth no one will approach is how the civil rights movement has metastisized from a breakthrough in humanism, into a movement to embrace totalitarianism that paints itself with the brush of victimhood.

    Humanism has been weaponized by those who despise it, with the goal of eliminating it. The attack on free speech is a battering ram on the front gate into our civilization.

    I couldn’t even finish watching this. These hypocrites make me so sick.

    These same types of “journalists” take any opportunity they can to slander Christianity and Christians. Every Christmas and Easter you can find specials on TV and editions of magazines putting out stories that are utter lies about Christianity. No Christians riot over it. No Christians threaten their lives. Christ-haters like Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens have made entire careers out of saying the most vile, false things about Christianity. They are free to write their books. No stores are closing or are being attacked because they carry those books. They are free to do television interviews and speaking tours. No one cares! They are free to do as they wish.

    So-called artists have put forth the most disgusting, offensive things in their hatred for Christ. No one has killed them.

    I couldn’t even begin to list the times TV shows and movies have in some way or another blasphemed Christ and promoted falsehoods about Christ and Christians. Again, no one has been murdered over it.

    But let anyone say anything mildly disagreeable about this death cult of Islam, even if it is factually TRUE, and these same vile hypocrites fall all over themselves to defend and excuse it. And then they go so far as to blame the victims.

    Last night Megyn Kelly interviewed Rand Paul on Fox RINO, and asked about the Garland Jihadi mass murder attempt and Geller’s role in it, does he defend her in that. The libertarian senator and presidential candidate said he would defend freedom of speech like in Garland, but in his explanation on Geller and why he’d defend such speech he’d defend her right to it and he used to describe Geller’s speech the words “despicable” and “trash other people’s religions” and “gratuitously” and “say obnoxious things.”

    The cartoons in her exhibit depicted the factual truth. Her statements on TV since have been limited to the factual truth. Never is it mentioned that the “Prophet” Mohammed put out successful contract murders on Abu Afak and Asma Marwan for publicly criticizing him. Since when did telling the truth become despicable trashing gratuitous obnoxious things?

    I’ll tell ya when, since we began importing millions of Moslems into the United States as legal immigrants, that’s when. With the Moslems on the scene, even conservative politicians deliver backhanded denunciations of truthful speech. When our presumptive next president Hillary takes over, watch for proscription of free speech under the rubric hate speech, a concept designed to quash free speech. Hillary has been the leading American proponent of hate speech laws for decades now, illegal as it is. She even teamed up with the OIC on this. The Molsems over at the OIC hate free speech, and understandably so.

    The only thing Rand Paul was correct on is that we’re always better off with Moslem dictators than Moslem democracies, which invariably turn into Mujahidin demoracies.

    • Tequila Not Taqiyya says

      May 15, 2015 at 3:46 am

      If Rand Paul knew anything about Islamic ideology, he would know it needs to be “trashed”. Instead he’s got his head buried in the sand or up his ass, if you prefer. This disqualifies him as a decent presidential candidate.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        May 15, 2015 at 8:40 am

        This disqualifies him as a decent presidential candidate.

        It won’t disqualify him from the race, because when it comes to realism on Moslems, there are *no* decent candidates. Only those stupid enough to value Moslem “American” votes, or those wise enough to fear a knife blade or an explosion at a town hall meeting. None, of course, are smart enough to familiarize themselves with the subject of Islam, albeit that won’t stop them from endlessly commenting on matters thereof.

        Ignorance is bliss, for a news entertainer or their media partners the politicians, at least.

    The message is so very important that for this last time it should be reiterated. Which is the absurd claim by some that somehow Pamela Geller and the A.F.D.I. had provoked those two Muslims to violence by the Muhammad cartoon contest. This claim is a false one and full of folly. For all what happened was to show that it must be true in what they say,. Which is “Evil is always looking for an excuse.” After all, those two murderous jihad brothers who planted those bombs on that Boston street had what they considered a “very good” excuse for their evil actions. Furthermore, those two Muslim who comitted the shooting could had chosen to stage a peaceful protest to that cartoon event. Instead they chose to handle things by the violence of terrorism. Those two MUslim terrorists were responsible for their own actions. Thier choice of jihad violence says something about them. Likewise, their choice of jihad violence also says something about Islam.

    The one thing I care about are the people who are not afraid to speak up about Islam and who care about our freedom of speech, like the people here, their opinions are meaningful and relevant they have taken a stand with consequences and understand the threat we are facing. They are the authentic leaders and heroes. It has been a long time since I ran to the MSM to see their twist of an event while expecting something truthful or courageous from them. Worse than being called a racist, bigot, provocateur, is being called irrelevant, and that is what they need to told continually, no matter the size of their audience, in the fight for free speech they are irrelevant.

    Another mainstream news & analysis publication to join the long list of pusillanimes — that vaunted institution of higher pop erudition, The New Yorker, as Diana West reports:

    http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/3071/Shiplers-Sharia.aspx

    The writer of this piece, David Shipler, and the editors of The New Yorker, are so cowardly, they have published a long analytical piece that discusses the entire Garland Muhammad cartoon contest, the attack, and the fallout — without once reproducing the prize-winning cartoon (let alone the runners-up), and only describing it in words. As Diana points out, this is doubly ironic, given that The New Yorker is known for its long and illustrious history of producing innumerable satirical cartoons poking fun at every aspect of life, including the social, the cultural, and the political.

    • RonaldB says

      May 14, 2015 at 5:30 pm

      Thanks for the reference of Diana West’s work, Voeg. I just finished her “American Betrayal” for the third time, which is the charm. It’s a straightforward presentation, but involves a lot of threads. She’s a superb writer, making complex networks of relationships comprehensible.

      I had a thought. We’re all surprised that the people of the press are so quick to throw the anti-jihad presentations to the wolves. It occurred to me that the people who have original thoughts, heartfelt opinions, are the ones to value freedom of speech.

      The newscast entertainers are just empty suit, stuffed shirts, self-inflated at their own importance, but fully aware that should they take on any aspect of independent thought, they would be immediately slapped down and fired by the business executives who control the networks. So, freedom of speech is not an important tool for these entertainers, as they never use the freedom of speech. I don’t know if they’re shallow enough to actually believe what they are saying, or like the movie actors who bring fame, fortune, and adoration to themselves by reading other peoples lines…and come to believe that they themselves hold opinions worth hearing. Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte are two entertainers cum ignoramus social critics who come to mind, but the list is very long.

      Really, the only place you can get real independent reporting and opinions on the news are the smaller blogs and youtube videos. Most entertainer newscasters are too busy primping their appearances to spend any time actually thinking about issues.

    Letter to Ahmadiyya Muslim Facebook 5-14-15

    Part I

    Harris Zafar Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA: “I’m going to poke you in the eye and if you respond you must be some kind of animal”. Quoted in video submitted below.

    At one time I used to support the Ahmadiyyas. Until they jumped on the “Islamophobia” bandwagon.

    I suggest people enhance their education when it comes to this term by reading a booklet “Islmamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future” by Horowitz and Spencer.

    I’m in the middle of what I call a “back and forth” written by Robert Spencer regarding Kashif Chaudhry.

    You have now, in my eyes, joined the ranks of groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, (I think that’s the group), Hope Not Hate, LoonWatch and others who slander anybody trying to expose radical Islam.

    The article on Jihad Watch is titled Exchange with Hate Preacher Kashif Chaudhry. Ordinarily I’d recoil a little bit at this label, even coming from Spencer, when applied to the Ahmadiyyas. Unfortunately, as usual, Spencer lays it all out, exposing this idiot for what he is.

    I like to boast that at one time I was a racist and “about as close to being a card carrying member of the KKK as you can be without actually being one.” In reality that’s a huge exaggeration as even then we knew the Klan for the Klowns that they really were. That said, at one time, my only word for blacks was “those fuckin’ niggers. If I were to underline the following words I could say I Hated Niggers. I used to get jumped in junior high school. I don’t know how many people reading this have ever experienced being pummeled by eight of ten guys sincerely trying to punch and stomp your guts out. My only experience with Black people up to that time was when I was in third grade and a black kid got me out of trouble by defending me and proving I didn’t steal something. The memory’s vague. All except for the image of us walking with our arms across each others shoulders across the playground. One of those things that’s “tattooed on the brain”. Until that time I went to an all white school in a one horse down of Devore, CA outside of San Bernardino. I can honestly say I’m one of those who went to a “two-room school house”. And walked across a wooden bridge to get there until they put in the freeway.

    I wrote a “Racism Speech” that you can read in my Facebook Notes. It’s not really a speech so much as part of my memoirs I’m writing for my kids. I consider myself a Christian. Unfortunately I’ve never gotten that “proverbial bolt of lightning” people talk about when it comes to religious experiences. People have suggested mine is of the “learning variety”, whatever that means.

    I can say that the closest I ever came to a legitimate religious experience was when I confronted my racism once and for all. I describe it in my Racism Speech. I was in my early twenties. My rabid racism pretty much a thing of the past…..sorta. When I was sixteen something happened that encouraged me to read books about blacks and the civil rights movements. That’s another story.

    I met this black guy in a bar. His name was Steve. We hit it off and he suggested we go to his place and play some chess. (Dummy beat me two out three games-sheeeit.) Anyway, as I was sitting there considering the board the thought came to me to wonder what would I think if Steve were to marry my sister; what could I hold against him?

    Maybe that’s why I lost those two other games. I tried to think of anything that could be used against him. I came up with absolutely nothing. And like a vision I had this image in my head of a hand and a glove. Meaning that a person is not the color of his glove. Dumb, I know, but that’s what suddenly came to me. At that moment every trace of racism left me. I was totally color blind from that day on.

    I say all this and include the fact that I usually precede my bone-fides or “street creds” with the qualifier that I’m “just a dumb-ass construction worker. But I’m a dumb-ass construction worker who READS.”

    In addition to this “back and forth” with Kashif Chaudhry, I had just finished a similar one about Cathy Young and Spencer’s response to her hit piece on himself and Pamella Geller.

    And you’ll notice one familiar theme when you read these things; They always seem to leave out inconvenient facts. And when they call Geller and Spencer “racists” and “hate mongers”, they can never, EVER cite a single word that they’ve said or written that is even remotely racist or hateful.

    I can honestly claim that I’ve read more books on “Blacks” than most blacks have. I’m pretty sure I can say the same when it comes to Muslims. My shelves are lined with Bukharis, Korans, Theologies of Islamic Law, Qur’anic Concepts of War, Taha’s Second Message, Reliance of the Traveller, etceterah, etceterah, etceterah.

    I’ve spent the better part of my almost 60 years studying THE ISSUES. Going to city and county meetings and raising hell at the local level. Everything I read on the net I print out and attack with pen and hi-liter. And if you assume I’m probably bias, I read BOTH sides. I’ve got files FILLED with articles from “the opposition”. I’ve read hundreds of articles and essays by Richard Falk, Karen Armstrong, Jimmy Carter, Susan Douglas, Joseph Massad, Benny Morris, John Esposito and my good buddy Norman the Fink Finkelstein. And more: “Dr.” Mohsen El-Guindy asking me to read his books. Instead I downloaded a bunch of his articles. Which were pure rants.

    A few years ago, when I made the decision to lay aside any prejudices, I approached this “Islam thing” the same way I did my racism. And for those uninitiated, that’s what racism is; judgment prior to investigation. So I investigated.

    Part II

    I crafted a letter I call “Questions for Muslims” after what I’d found in a Summarized Bukhari I’d ordered online: Jihad in the Qur’an and Sunnah by ‘Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Humaid. I suggest people read it. And The 4th Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research: Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel. Sept. 1968 Translated by D.F. Green/David G. Littman (Support Secure Freedom)

    “The First and Last Enemy: Jew Hatred in Islam.” by Andrew G. Bostom
    http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=28549

    People like Young, Chaudhry and Harris Zafar quoted above, like to challenge Spencer and Geller when it comes to their discussions and ideas regarding “moderate” Muslims who are shills for terrorists. You know, like CAIR, the MSA and Students for Justice in Palestine. For them it’s as if these Jew-Haters don’t even exist. Let alone challenge their Jew hating narratives.

    It just boggles my mind how people dismiss Islam as a problem. If you were to look at Islam today as a “personality disorder” and what’s happening in the world today, any right thinking person would SCREAM to have that personality locked up in prison or an insane asylum. The fact that radical Islam is growing like some insidious disease bothers these people not at all. Terrorists incited by Islamic hate preachers coming out of American mosques is just a figment of these “Islamophobes” imaginations. Genocidal groups like Hamas and Fatah are pure as the driven snow and the Jews blown up in buses and restaurants and rained on by missiles are “occupiers” and “ethnic cleansers”. Read the 4th Conference above and you’ll see that this inversion of the truth you read in this paper is a cancer spreading across our universities and hyped by the media and government….and YOU!

    A perfect summing up is in this two minute video: At the end of the video is that despicable REAL hate preacher Anjem Choudry saying “you insulted the prophet and obviously you knew the consequences”.

    Video: Media rushes to abandon the principle of freedom of speech
    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/05/media-rushes-to-abandon-the-principle-of-freedom-of-speech

    “you insulted the prophet and obviously you knew the consequences”

    Are you F-ing KIDDING me??? Is that how you people think? That our Freedom of Speech should be turned on its head to accommodate Muslims? That it should be a “Yeah, But…” when it comes to the “religion of peace” and people being slaughtered for looking cross eyed at Muslims???

    Harris Zafar Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA: “I’m going to poke you in the eye and if you respond you must be some kind of animal”.

    Well, AREN’T THEY???? Is there ANY question??? Apparently you people seem to think there is. That there should be a different set of standards when it comes to Christians and Muslims. Someone said somewhere that a significant part of the Koran is dedicated to hating Jews and Christians. Why is discussion of this verboten? Why is there no effort to “know the enemy”, radical Islam, the same way we did the Soviets when we had whole departments in our universities studying these issues? The truth is our whole education system is on its way to Indoctrinating people into hating Jews. One of the best books I’ve ever read was Ivory Towers on Sand by Martin Kramer. A close second is Christina Hoff Sommer’s The War Against Boys. And two others I’m sure you’ll turn your noses up at; David Horowitz’s The Professors and Indoctrination U.

    Cathy Young cites Mahmoud Mohammed Taha, yet will fail to address this cute little quote: “we may describe it, (jihad), as a surgeon’s lancet and not a butcher’s knife.” (I’m sure there are about 200 million dead people that would disagree with him. And this from the guy who’s been called the Mahatma Ghandi of Islam.) People should read his ideas when it comes to the “misguided” Jews.

    We haven’t seen the type of antisemitism and Jew Hatred that’s being preached on college campuses since 1930’s Nazi Germany. Growing up among The Greatest Generation it’s like a surrealistic nightmare. Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley have morphed into a Stalinistic wet dream. And you sit there and use words like “inciting” and “provacative” “racist” and “hate-mongering” when it comes to people trying to expose the TRUTH!

    And to use a phrase from the “Senator Joe McCarthy and the Red Scare” hearings; “Have You No Shame?”

    As anyone who has attended university knows, the School of Communications [i.e. Journalism] is right up there with Elementary Education as the Major where all the dull pennies went for an easy degree.

    Look at the course requirements for Journalism and you see a massive dose of so-called ‘social science’ taught by Marxists and Victimhood Advocates. The result is a generation of journalists that have effectively been brainwashed and are incapable of independent thought.

    The ‘prestigeous schools’ of journalism where the big networks get their newscasters and writers have, by coincidence, prestigeous ‘Islamic Studies’ departments funded by Saudi Arabia and its ilk. You can figure out the rest.

      I’d add to your list degrees in Sociology, Women’s Studies and the likes of Sports Management, the latter created as a sop to the fake students “working” in college athletic departments as field hands. When they talk about athletes getting paid, there should be the proviso that the hundred of millions colleges spend on these fake departments be deducted from their paychecks.

      The ironic part about Communications degrees is that they’re usually conferred for learning how to communicate in English as one’s first language.

      How about a new type of degree call Islam Realism Studies? The curriculum for this new degree would be its scriptures, Sharia codes, and most of all its history. Yeah, sure, there’d be some explosions and stabbings around the Islam Realism Studies Building, but that’s healthy cuz it’d only be Moslems observing their religion.

    Freedom of speech and expression of that freedom with like minded people is a basic expression of reality we are not talking of enticement or planning to cause physical harm to anyone … if a bunch of atheists wanted to have a meeting to ridicule Christians and burn bibles and the like and do cartoons of Jesus in some way would there be this debate ?????

    These two-faced journalists say they believe in the fundamental principle of free speech, but do not have the courage of their convictions to support it resolutely. Do they ever wonder why Islam, more than any other religion in the West, attracts so much criticism? If they have read the Quran, they would understand that Islam is a pernicious, belligerent ideology, hell-bent on conquering the world for Allah – and if that means killing a few (or a few thousand) infidels, then so be it!

    Do they believe that Islam really is a ‘religion of peace’ despite all the verses in the Quran commanding its followers to wage jihad or ‘holy war’ against unbelievers?

    “Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216).

    “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [Islam] from those who were given the Scripture [Jews & Christians] – [fight] until they give the jizyah [protection tax] willingly while they are humbled [as dhimmis or second class citizens].” (Quran 9:29).

    There are literally dozens more.

    This Hadith by Tabari epitomizes the supremacist Muslim mindset. “Arabs [Muslims] are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in Allah’s Cause. Killing him is a small matter to us.” (Hadith Al-Tabari 9:69).

    Freedom of speech is that fundamental democratic right which allows a person to criticize those things in the community which need to be criticized; and from its holy scriptures, Islam is one of them! Are these reporters so dumb they do not understand that unless Islam is criticized and brought to book, it will eventually rule over them? Will they still think then, that poking fun at Islam is “so cruel”?

    it is so hard for me to rap my mind around this. SOME AMERICANS ARE SO STUPID. THEY WILL KILL YOU ALSO OR HAVE YOU ALREADY BOWED TO ISLAM? THAT JUST MAKES OUR JOB SOME WHAT HARDER. TO FIGHT FOR GOD OF THE BIBLE ,FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND AMERICA. AND WE WILL WIN. WITH THE HELP OF OUR LORD AND SAVOR JESUS CHRIST. KEEP UP THE FIGHT PAM,ROBERT AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS. GOD BLESS.

    And no one mentions that ISLAM is a hate group. The jihad is so justified by these “free speech” phonies, that naturally pointing it out is considered “hate”. The journalists were practically tripping over one another blaming cartoons, rather than fanatic muslims who are so offended by the mere existence of anything that is not islamic. What a warped logic and what an upside-down world we live in.

    I said, years ago, that the worst thing that happened to the media was when the Gov. removed the restrictions on who and how many could own the media outlets. They were then bought up by a bunch of VERY liberal owners who now control the media. No I am NOT gonna do your research for you.

      “causeing people to react virlation cause you”

      Who will avenge the English language? I’m going to try and guess: you’re saying that the police should have arrested Robert and Pamela because people reacted violently to them. Is that it? Always blaming the victim, muslim are – as Taj El-Din Hilaly said when talking about muslim rape gangs in Australia:

      “If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats’ or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.“
