Co-founder Redouane Ahrouch of the Belgian Islamic party “named simply ‘Islam’ has been given a suspended sentence after being convicted by the Criminal Court of Brussels of discriminating against a woman on a television programme “. This should be no surprise, given the lower status of women under the sharia. Ahrouch also said following the launch of the Islam party: “Our goal is a one hundred per cent Islamic state.”
This is a welcome precedent and highlights the discrimination within Islamic doctrine; not only against women, but also against Jews, Christians and other minorities, gays, apostates etc.
On the other hand, despite the shouts of “Islamophobia”, the negative views about Islam have nothing to do with discrimination and intolerance. It has everything to do with the large-scale abuse of human rights committed in the name of Islam, not to mention the constant threat of jihad attacks.
The Islam Party got two members elected in 2012, including one in the Molenbeek area of Brussels…..This year, it will stand in 28 municipalities in all.
Molembeek is a known jihadist breeding ground.
Among the policies of the Islam party–in accord with the latest discrimination charge–is that “it wants to separate men and women on public transport.”
“Co-Founder of Belgian Islamist Party Convicted on Discrimination Charges”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart , May 11, 2011:
One of the co-founders of the Belgian Islamist party named simply “Islam” has been given a suspended sentence after being convicted of discriminating against a woman on a television programme last year.
Islam party co-founder Redouane Ahrouch appeared on the political television panel programme C’est Pas Tous les Jours Dimanche (It’s Not Every Sunday) in April last year and, during his time on the programme, refused to greet or even look at journalist and columnist Emmanuelle Praet, according to a report from Le Soir.
This refusal was prosecuted as discrimination by the Criminal Court of Brussels, where he was convicted.
Mr Ahrouch, who serves as a local councillor in Anderlecht, co-founded the Islam party in the early months of 2018, causing uproar due to policies attributed to the party, such as turning Belgium into a sharia-compliant Islamic state.
“Our goal is a one hundred per cent Islamic state,” Ahrouch said last year following the launch of the party. He also said that men and women should have gender-segregated use of public transportation, comments that soon afterwards saw him fired from his position as a bus driver.
Few, if any, parties welcomed the launch of the Islam party, and several, including the Independent Federal Democrat Party (DEFI), the right-wing Reform Movement (MR), the Humanist Democratic Centre (CDH), and the Socialist Party (PS), proposed banning the Islam Party and any other party whose “whose aim is to threaten public liberties.”…..

It is the time govt should think about ‘stop all religion’ . Religion is waste of time and money. Think about living people who sufferer from illness. Many people are facing problem with getting a partner, money, shelter, food, cloth, education, health and job. We should think about how to solve poverty , starvation, and terrorism in our society. Second consideration for invisible god, Promised Messiah, and dead god.Govt should stop Religion, advertisements of low quality products, war, terrorism, medicine such as Ayurveda, Hijama and homeopathy(pseudo science).,Religious organization such as CAIR, SIMI, Professional Islamic movement, export and import of products of terrorist nations, Religious institutions, illegal immigration, Doctors and Engineers from third world(they have good score in exam and interview , but low job performance due to low IQ, If you teach some bullshit like earth is square shaped they would learn that.Why I am telling this if you consult a doctor of third world for a silly problem like fever or cold there is no proper treatment , because low quality medicine and doctors. I have experience). In 21st century there are lot of things to ban like terrorism.

na seems good with forcing his beliefs on others. Hard-core Communist states have already done this. Is North Korea his ideal?
Just because Islam is evil is no reason to embrace this kind of totalitarianism.

Does na actually believe that no one has thought about these issues before? Does he never pick up a newspaper?
In fact, Churches and Synagogues run programs to help people in just these matters.
And the free West is much better on all these matters than the rest of the world–none of these issues have been completely solved, but we are farther along than most places.
And the West has freedom of religion–the idea that it is instead places that crush freedom take better take care of their people is obvious claptrap.

What? While “affirmative action” is a real problem–giving jobs and spots in university to people based on skin color or ideology is appalling, but where students do well on exams they are also apt to do well in practice.

The idea that crushing peaceful freedom of belief is apt to increase standards in the third world does not, of course, hold water.

If third world population increases then that may affect entire world. For example way in Syria and ISIS affected whole world. Poverty, starvation, refugee, migration, climate changes, cancer, war land deficiency for agriculture and self sufficiency are the ultimate result.If vehicle increases then you can expect air pollution. Population density should be reduced.
Corruption , illegal currency printing, sham marriage, influence peddling, political corruption and smuggling may damage the economy of a country.That may affect world economic system. That may create inflation and refugees.
Education system is just for making money. If you pay money then you can get admission with job placement. That creates low quality individuals like doctors and software engineers. Imagine such doctors treating a patient !! Patient wasting money by consulting such medical practitioners. Have you ever noticed third world rich, politicians, influential people they are visiting other countries like USA for treatment. It is sure their IQ is not enough to do a software job/scientist/doctor.
Have you ever faced power cut? Electricity invented in 19 th century. But still system is not developed in third world. They have every source to generate electricity like water, wind….
Have you seen the road system and traffic? engineering issues?
But they have amble of scope in some areas if they control population. Their land is suit for agriculture.carpenter,plumping, electrician, material assembling, makeup artist, photographer, cook, hotel management job, sales person, marketing, journalist, physiotherapist,driver,banking,business,social worker, Nursing job, nannies, non profit education and coaching. If they could create a natural friendly world then developed countries have no headache.

This man, Redouane Ahrouch, was a bus driver, a sort of Islamic Ralph Kramden who would threaten his wife with, “To the moon, Alice, one of these days … to the moon.” However, whereas Ralph was just all bluster and never really serious, this fellow is dead serious.
PRCS says
Ralph Kramden.
Ha!
Ta the moon, Fatima.!

While I’m not particularily fond of these types of guys, I’m also not fond of a system that makes “discrimination” of this sort into an offence that one gets “convicted” of.
All in all, both ends against the middle, Belgium doesn’t seem like much of a free country.
Carol the 1st says
Discriminating against a representative of over half of the human race – the gender that has the god-given ability to create and nurture the human race (and does most of the nitty gritty work involved) deserves nothing less than one hell of a kick in the pants. Stick him on an island with his own good ole boys and Islam.

“proposed banning the Islam Party and any other party whose “whose aim is to threaten public liberties”
Well, actually, that guy and his pals want to eradicate them.

Re: na says.
The reaction to his opinion is an example of how many fifth-columnists the muslims have among non-muslims. So many are afraid to lose tax-exemption and other special statuses that are very happy to press their own mute button when some talk of banning islam.
Where I live religious ”organizations” pay no municipal taxes except for services delivered right to their door, generally water and sewer. They pay absolutely zilch with respect to road maintenance and the like. In the meantime, those who live on religious organization land pay few taxes for the same reason. You can build some nice digs when your fellow municipal residents are footing the bill. And don’t get me started about taxes from higher levels of government.
