What if the offender had been a Muslim who believed that Islam is right about women? He wouldn’t have been charged in that case, of course, but apparently the offender was a non-Muslim who was being sarcastic, and apparently New Zealand expect passersby to be able to discern that sarcasm in the bare statement “Islam […]
New Zealand Commission of Inquiry: Cops missed mosque terrorist because of ‘inappropriate’ focus on jihad terror
No problem. That’s easily remedied. And nothing could possibly go wrong once resources are properly directed, right? After all, with New Zealand poised to discard the freedom of speech and adopt a law that will effectively criminalize criticism of Islam, jihad violence won’t be necessary. Once doesn’t make war against those who have already surrendered. […]
Muslim cleric calls for new laws that ‘draw a clear line between freedom of speech and hate speech’
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. The shock and horror that Jacinda Ardern and other New Zealanders are feeling over the attack is understandable. The good intentions of these initiatives are obvious. Unfortunately, however, it will henceforth be difficult, if not completely […]
Erdogan shows footage of New Zealand massacre while New Zealand jails youth for posting it
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan “has been inflaming his supporters by showing footage of the suspected far-right terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand.” At the same time, New Zealand has been busy rounding up youth with threats of lengthy imprisonment for merely posting the videos. Meanwhile, New Zealand ignores its mosque problem: al Noor mosque […]
Video: David Wood and Robert Spencer on the New Zealand massacre and how it is being exploited
Yesterday evening David Wood and I discussed the New Zealand massacre and the subsequent attempts to defame and silence those who oppose jihad terror.
New Zealand murders: repercussions and perspective
The savage and heinous terrorist attacks on the mosques in New Zealand are being and will be used to try to silence all criticism of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others. The effort to stamp out such criticism is longstanding, and has gained new impetus now, although few stop to think about […]
