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

Court Rules That Criticism of Islam is Still Legal in the U.S. (For Now)

Aug 21, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media is a VIP article. I am happy to be able to offer you a 5% discount on becoming a VIP member at PJ Media. Just enter the code SPENCER when you sign up here.

You may recall Nicholas Damask. He is the Scottsdale Community College (SCC) professor about whom I wrote here at PJ Media several weeks ago when Muslim students threatened his life for observing that Islam teaches violence. After that, instead of rebuking the Muslims who threatened Damask, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed suit against the college for daring to teach unpopular and unwelcome truths about Islam and terrorism.

This morning, in a rare victory for the battered and bruised principle of the freedom of speech, Judge Susan M. Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona ruled that we’re not quite under Sharia blasphemy laws yet and that academics were perfectly free to criticize Islam, if there are still any besides Damask who dare to do so.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    Somewhere the Founders are smiling. And, let us hope we do not have to revisit this after next January. Especially not if it involves US Attorney General Keith Ellison.

    Talk about things that can keep you up nights.

      Not just the Founders:

      Paul Revere probably is, too.

    Them dumbasses criticize Christianity and Hinduism, calling them polytheistic. They obviously haven’t done their homework, to understand the Biblical Trinity or “Krsnas tu Bhagavan svayam” from the great Bhagavatam scripture. Such people obviously just don’t really care about God.

    For them it’s just an ego thing – as in “my god’s bigger than your god”. In truth they have no clue, worshipping a formless impotent fantasy who touts nonsense ontologies and philosophies for a bonus payoff jerk-off paradise.

    The idiot clowns are so offensive to God to think that He would suddenly promote murder, rape, robbery, and slavery like some kind of desert bandit.

      “They obviously haven’t done their homework”

      The ‘suits’, as it were, have.

      They’re doing their best to keep our friends and neighbors uninformed.

    Between being self-employed and being a formidable opponent should things become violent I’m pretty much sealed off from anyone’s disapproval of telling the truth about what the Quran teaches and the actions of Muslims. No slander or prejudice in that.
    Many people could expect repercussions in their professional life, and even a liberal family member might take exception to hearing it. The American courts need to uphold free speech at every opportunity.

      Absolutely,how long this deception and complicity occurred is probable as long as the oil money flowed into the hands that decided the money and power was too good to pass up, apparently those who complied thought less about the suffering world wide, the deaths of many young Americans, and fantasy lies were created to cover this sick doctrine, with the gulling term racism while degrading our values of dignity, honesty and humility. Free speech allowed their lies to prevail, instead of diligent duty to protect, and maintain good values for a country that let media and Hollywood trash any moral compass of sobriety and dignified living. Facts matter.

    …………….

    Yes–this story is good to see.

    According to the feature article,

    “Muslim students threatened his life for observing that Islam teaches violence.”

    “Muslim students threatened his life for observing that Islam teaches violence.”

    “Muslim students threatened his life for observing that Islam teaches violence.”

    Sorry, I’m totally speechless…

      And the irony is best left unspoken.

      Infidel: Islam is violent and savage.

      Adherents of Islam: We’ll kill you for that.

    Thank you for that ruling, Judge Brnovich.

    Uncle Nihad and Honest Ibe must still be fuming over it!

    The student that threatened the Professor. with threats of violence for exposing Islam, threatening his life and occupation, should be arrested and charged. Then the OIC should be told sharia law has not place here and the the hateful doctrine should not be allowed to be taught.
