No such line can or should be drawn. “Hate speech” is an inherently subjective concept that can only be defined in accord with the principles and priorities of the person charged with the responsibility of defining it. In practice, “hate speech” laws are used to silence speech that those in power want silenced. Also, the […]
Experiments with the body of society in the name of utopia produce monsters
Grinned Werewolf From Utøya to Christchurch to Galle and Hanau: Experiments with body of society in the name of utopia produce monsters A century ago, in 1918-20, Europe sunk into the “red terror.” Inspired by the Russian revolution, people with red armbands, red flags and red stars were determined to celebrate the “new bright future.” […]
Columbia University professor Hamid Dabashi blames Bill Maher for Christchurch mosque massacres
Hamid Dabashi writes: “How different are Bill Maher’s racist screeds from what a mass murderer wrote in his ‘manifesto'[?]…Someone explain to HBO executives the difference between that hate speech and this by the mass murderer in New Zealand…” Dabashi’s assumption here is that if someone is violent in support of an idea, that idea is […]
New Zealand: Man fired for calling Islam “violent and destructive” after Christchurch mosque massacre
Has the whole world lost the ability to think clearly? The question of whether or not Islam is violent and destructive is not answered by shootings at a mosque, but by examination of Islam’s texts, teachings, and history. If Islam is violent and destructive, it doesn’t become peaceful and constructive when some psychopath murders innocent […]
New Zealand’s Prime Minister dons hijab, orders national broadcast of Islamic call to prayer
New Zealanders — men as well as women — are also being asked to wear the hijab this Friday.

New Zealand murders: repercussions and perspective

New Zealand: Teen jihadi to get “proper Islamic counselling” to “overcome his radicalisation”
The Christchurch District Court is basing this decision on the idea that Islam is a religion of peace that jihadis misunderstand. The authorities are trusting the Federation of Islamic Associations, or whatever Muslim group is going to be entrusted with this task, to teach this young would-be jihad mass murderer the true, peaceful Islam. However, […]
New Zealand: Muslim teen planned to ram car into people and then stab them “for Allah”
Not to worry. He is getting “counselling by a member of the local Muslim community.” That will fix everything, won’t it? And the president of the Federation of Islamic Associations, Hazim Arafeh, says that jihad terrorists are “misinformed about Islam.” So you see, nothing to be concerned about at all! Go back to sleep. But […]
