No surprise here. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because […]
European judges rule that UK airport cops breached rights of al-Qaeda chief’s wife, taxpayers must pay her $28,000
How did they breach her rights? By stopping her for questioning. In that case, my rights have been breached in several airports, but no one is giving me a big payout. This is the same court that ruled that criticism of Muhammad is not subject to free speech protection. “Al Qaeda chief’s wife, 49, wins […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Does Europe Still Have Free Speech? (Part Two)
The ECtHR also underlined that it classified the ‘impugned’ statements as “an abusive attack on the Prophet of Islam, which was capable of stirring up prejudice and putting at risk religious peace.” Apparently the factual statement by ES, that 54-year-old Muhammad had sexual intercourse with Aisha when she was nine years old, which can be […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Does Europe Still Have Free Speech? (Part One)
“Insulting Prophet Muhammad not ‘free speech,’ ECtHR rules,” Daily Sabah, October 25, 2018: The European Court of Human Rights ruled Thursday [October 22] that an Austrian woman’s criminal conviction and fine for her statements accusing the Prophet Muhammad of pedophilia did not breach her right to free speech. The woman, named only as ES by […]
Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff responds to EU court’s ruling that speech insulting Muhammad is prohibited
Yesterday, Jihad Watch covered the troubling ruling of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that “an Austrian woman’s criminal conviction and fine for her statements accusing the Prophet Muhammad of pedophilia did not breach her right to free speech.” Insulting Muhammad is now forbidden, according to the ECHR, which has conceded to Sharia imperatives. […]
European Court of Human Rights: Insulting Muhammad not “free speech”
This is clearly the case of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who was fined and given a jail sentence for calling Muhammad a pedophile. He married a six-year-old and consummated the marriage when she was nine, but “the Austrian courts had held that ES was making value judgments partly based on untrue facts and without regard to the […]
European Court stops Germany from deporting “dangerous” Muslim who said he was ready to commit jihad massacre
“Authorities accused him of being capable of planning a terror attack in Germany, arguing that he had sympathies with Isis as well as suicidal thoughts, and alleging that he had told another Islamist from Essen that he was ready to carry out an attack on civilians.” What could possibly go wrong? Only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” […]
European Court of Human Rights upholds Belgium’s ban on burqas and full-face Islamic veils
Odd and surprising that they didn’t block this ban as “Islamophobic,” but it is refreshing to see common sense prevail. The veil is a security issue: it makes it too easy to commit crimes. And anyway, why are Europeans and North Americans the only ones forbidden to try to protect their cultural identity? “European Court […]
Switzerland: Court rules Muslim girls must swim with boys, government says integrate or leave
“Integrate or leave” shouldn’t be controversial in the slightest degree. Why are only European and North American states not allowed to preserve their cultural identity? It appears increasingly clear that they are the focus of a concerted globalist/internationalist effort that means to efface that identity. “Court rules Muslim girls MUST swim with boys after Government […]
Queen Elizabeth for Brexit: “EU courts ‘denigrate’ Britain by protecting terrorists”
Even the usually neutral Queen is fed up with European courts protecting Islamic jihadist hate preachers, saying that they “denigrate Britain” and asking the question: “Give me THREE good reasons” to remain inside the European Union. Pity that the Obama administration and Western leftist authorities are not as wise as the Queen on this matter, […]
European Court of Human Rights orders France to pay damages to Somali pirates
Absurd? Yes. Surprising? No. And its net effect will be to embolden these jihadi pirates, knowing they can count on the European Court of Human Rights to have their back. “Court tells France to pay damages to Somali pirates,” BBC, December 4, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The European Court of Human Rights […]
