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

Pakistan: Muhammad cartoons ‘offend sentiments of billions of Muslims, can’t be justified as freedom of expression’

Sep 3, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Billions of Muslims”! The numbers grow exponentially by the day, at least among those who want to intimidate others with an exaggerated show of their power and influence. In any case, we see here yet again that the Muhammad cartoon controversy is all about trying to compel the West to limit the freedom of expression. The objective is to manipulate Western countries into adopting what are essentially Sharia blasphemy laws so as not to “undermine the global aspirations for peaceful co-existence as well as social and inter-faith harmony.” And it’s working very well. Charlie Hebdo republished the cartoons, but most publications in the West wouldn’t dare publish them even once.

“Pakistan lambastes French paper over reprint of offensive caricature,” by Aizbah Khan, Bol News, September 2, 2020:

Pakistan foreign office has strongly condemned the French magazine Charlie Hebdo’s decision to republish the blasphemous caricature.

“Pakistan condemns in the strongest terms the decision by the French magazine, Charlie Hebdo, to re-publish deeply offensive caricature of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” the Foreign Office said in a statement.

“Such a deliberate act to offend the sentiments of billions of Muslims cannot be justified as an exercise in press freedom or freedom of expression. Such actions undermine the global aspirations for peaceful co-existence as well as social and inter-faith harmony,” the statement said.

It should be noted that ‘Charlie Hebdo’ had announced to republish the blasphemous caricature.

According to foreign news agencies, the announcement was made by the French magazine a day before the start of the terror trial against the 14 suspects who provided weapons and transport facilities to the attackers in its Paris office in 2015.

The magazine said it was encouraged by those who attacked its editorial staff to carry out the heinous act….

    The difference between the failed state of Pakistan and the enormously successful state of America, the latter being a polity which Muslims and Leftists want to eliminate for sundry reasons, the chief of them being their eternal hostility to true freedom.

    America at its best stands for liberty. Islam and modern Leftism hate liberty. Choose your side. I did long, long ago.

        The USA remains the last best hope on earth. As a non American but a person of the west I have increasingly come. to understand this over my life time. We grew up with American movies and fashions and music and whilst we had our own identity we somehow found something of incredible value in American culture. Now i have a clearer understanding of what attracted us in far away South Africa to all this. The USA is an idea as well as a country.

    Just about anything about Islam is offensive to me. The psychopath pervert ‘Prophet’, the hate in the Koran, the stupidity of Islamic teaching, the bloodshed of its history, the filth, the mind numbing idiocy of the Muslim barrows. I could go on. I’ve suffered enough from Islam. Cartoons are payback. Oh, and Mohamed squatted to piss like an old woman.

      I couldn’t agree more Jack. I have just forced myself to read the unbelievably vicious and ridiculous kooran and many hadiths for the third time to try and understand what could possibly motivate muslim atrocities for 1400 years and I still don’t get it. It all has the religiosity of a fresh dog turd and is ten times as offensive. And don’t forget, ol’ Mo was very, very white and hairy and even had a little white doodle according to a hadith which states that one of his companions was honoured enough to see when the wind blew Mo’s garment back on a wild camel ride. Such an important detail to have been passed along for a couple of centuries before the hadiths were finally cobbled together.

    “…billions of Muslims …”

    This one always makes me laugh. Is somebody counting somewhere, that nobody ever sees? Many of these supposed “muslims” are not muslims at all. They are merely people whose background is from a (vaguely) muslim family, trapped within their “community”. As we are discovering, millions of these people are not muslims at all:

      If you add up 1.4 billion, 1.6 billion and 1.8 billion Muslims mentioned by Islam’s most fervent proponents obfuscating about “the fastest growing religion” at every opportunity, then whatever, billions. But realize STEM studies are not important in today’s seventh century Islam.

    Robert: “all about trying to compel the West to limit the freedom of expression”.
    That is necessary since their ‘religion’ is filled with gigantic
    holes and idiocy, which we can see all too easily. It’s why they are forbidden to read other scriptures, why they would prefer to keep their women illiterate. Wombs are instrumental to their world domination master plan.
    It’s funny watching their delusions of grandeur ignite when we reveal their fallacies. Most express that frustration with anger, then violence.
    It has to end, or least become contained in the desert.

        Islam belongs in the dust pan of history, and remembered as an idiotic ideology, that was very good at brain washing 10’s of millions of illiterate people on a daily basis.
        And mockery is one of the best ways of dealing with the above types.

        To quote the great Christopher Hitchens,..
        “how can you not laugh at the absurdly large claims that Islam makes of its self”.

        He has many great videos on You Tube, that shows great intelligence, and insight.
        You are greatly missed Christopher.

    With his Herculean physique and towering height perfect mo{ABU DAWUD 40:4731}must have been a sight to see flying around up in the clouds …..on his winged magical flying donkey BURAQ.

    A caricature of muhammed?
    No.
    {islamic sources show this.No complaints from muslims please.Your sources reveal this}

    For muhammed’s mode of transport when he went from mecca to Jerusalem {koran 17:1}was indeed this magnificent fantasy beast:for how else could he have travelled there?

    muhammed:a fat midget flying around up in the clouds on a flying donkey.

    This Rebecca Bynum’s duck-billed platypus of Islam perpetuates Ketuanan Melayu (Malay Supremacy) and Islamic Supremacy in Malaysia which together offensively discriminates against the non-Muslim Malaysians, not just their feelings but in practice.

    Malaysia has all the hallmarks of a racist and religious extreme state on the following foundation:
    a) The Federal Constitution basically establishes 2 classes of citizens, vide Article 153, the root of the racist system.
    b) The State sanctions racist and religious extreme laws and policies
    c) The State controls the Government Administration through one racial and religious group
    d) The State channels most funds for economic/education/social development programs and licenses, permits etc., to one race
    e) The State controls Religious freedom to the disadvantage of non Muslims, imposes of Muslim religious laws on non- Muslims and extends the jurisdiction of the Syaria Courts onto non-Muslims.
    f) The State sponsors violence and threats of violence both directly and
    indirectly (outsourced) on the citizens to create fear among the non-Malay non-Muslims.
    g) The State sanctions draconian, punitive laws and gives blank cheques to the Police to make arbitrary arrests of dissenters.
    h) The State explicitly and implicitly declares that the Malays are the
    masters (Malay Supremacy) and the sons of soil.

    Freedom is not a matter of choice for islam.

    Islam is a “religious” dictatorship that controls all aspects of life and wants wold wide control.

    Freedom of thought and speech are Islam’s main enemy. Islam doesn’t want the truth about its violence, hate. rape and murders both within its religion and non muslims to be talked about.

    Islam is vary dangerous and sick.

    “Such a deliberate act to offend the sentiments of billions of Muslims cannot be justified…

    …and their bigoted and threatening response to our cartoons is a deliberate act that can’t be justified, either. Some idiot muslims in crazy land don’t tell me what I can think and say, I decide that. I live in America where free expression is supposed to be valued above practically every other democratic freedom, that’s why it is the 1st amendment and not the 10th. And that goes for every other western nation who values free speech, this is a human rights issue that pertains to us all, not just intolerant bully muslims. Islamic doctrines promote teachings that are an inane, violent, intolerant, and superstitiously ignorant. Not only should we all have the right to criticize and even mock such beliefs, I believe we have a moral obligation to do so. Islam provokes murder and terror as holy writ, satire can be an effective way of exposing that truth about that. That makes our satire “justified” in my mind.

    Such actions undermine the global aspirations for peaceful co-existence…

    …and so does thousands of muslims killing, terrorizing, and warring for allah also ruin our chances for a “peaceful co-existence.” Muslims at large do not globally aspire to peace, they aspire to supremacy for allah–it’s called JIHAD, their god commands the death or subjugation of all “unbelievers.” Thousands of muslims are living those terroristic beliefs to the fullest, and millions more support them on some level. So who are the bad guys in all this? those who speak some fact-based opinions about some sh*t religion or those who kill for and support that same religion? The answer should be morally and intellectually obvious. Muslims have no right to be offended, they are the aggressors and fomentors of all offense regarding islam.

    We know the muslim religion is weak and idiotic when it can’t even withstand the sarcasm and wit of a cartoon. Allah is supposed to be all powerful and wise, but a funny caption can crush his existence into the realm of the absurd; their prophet is the “best example” to be followed, but a drawing of him can provoke mass murder and terror which exposes the profundity of the notion all too well. Seriously, a stupid child could come up with a better religion than this, it’s retarded. I know I say that too much in here but I truly believe it. It’s called a religion of peace, but it’s the most violent ideology ever invented by man, 10’s of millions murdered/terrorized for its moral and theological insanity. Muslims are always offended for their religion, but we non-muslims are the ones getting raped, murdered, and terrorized for allah. Islam is like a hall of mirrors where everything is backwards, morality is immoral and intelligence is stupid. The real “offense” in all this is that the left protects violent islam from justified criticism and pretends the threat isn’t real. I find that far more offensive than a “hurtful” cartoon. But what the hell do I know? I’m just a racist-bigot-islamophobe for caring. 🙁
