Islam: Extinguishing Freedom of Speech
JD Vance is right: freedom of speech in Europe is “in retreat”. It is being eroded from within. The deliberate campaign of attrition is coming from members of Islam, a recently imported segment of the population.
Islam forbids freedom of speech. It is that simple. No ifs. No buts. Consequently, it employs many ploys and strategies, including scams, to erode and destroy it. The UK population, lacking a First Amendment, and conditioned by decades of comfortable freedom unchallenged, have a poor grasp of the vital importance of freedom of speech. For the functioning of democracy, it is essential that all subjects be available for discussion. There cannot be a whole area that is off-limits. A second disadvantage is the widespread lack of knowledge of and interest in Islam and its rules.
No free speech in Austria
There is no free speech in Austria. Thus concludes Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff. In a private conversation she used, of Mohammed, the scientific term Pedophile. It was overheard, and she was charged with “denigrating an established religion”. Her conviction was upheld all the way to the highest European court.
The “Sensitivity” scam
Ever well practiced at putting on an act, the Islamic lobby adopt sad faces and claim their “sensitivities” are offended by portrayals of Muhammad. The unwary British, polite, helpful, and easily gulled, have bent over backwards to oblige, thereby curtailing their speech. The result? No jokes, no cartoons, no satire of anything Islamic, no demonstrations. In the UK, speech is no longer free.
The sensitivity claim is a pose. In Islamic law criticism of Mohammed or Islam carries the death penalty. Remember this is the ideology which severs heads, cuts off limbs, throws homosexuals off tall buildings, and stones people to death. So sensitive.
The “Hate” scam
The Islamic lobby uses accusations of “hate speech” as a tactic. This has also brought undeserved success. Any criticism of Islam is blackened as “hate” and made the subject of contrived whining. Unbelievably the UK has, at the prompting of the Islamic lobby, instituted the preposterous “non-crime hate incident”. Police time has been fatuously wasted monitoring social media and visiting in person those recorded — without trial — as guilty of a non-crime hate incident, which goes on their criminal record. What is surprising is quite how this self-evident attack on free speech has been allowed to happen, yet it has. Recently, in response to widespread objections its use has been discontinued, but it has not been abolished, nor have all the records been deleted.
The sour irony behind this contrived whining is its arrant hypocrisy. Islam, after all, has the standing instruction “between us and you enmity and hatred forever” (K60:4, part of Islamic law).
Incitement to crime, of course, does not qualify as freedom of speech. It is already a crime. If, however, there is a special category of “hate speech” (everlastingly extendable) then there is no freedom of speech.
The “Islamophobia” scam
Deliberately invented as a weapon, the artificial construct Islamophobia has been undeservedly influential. Parliamentarians have been pressed by the Islamic lobby to agree a definition. To their credit up to now they have not accepted any of the suggestions proffered, and rightly so. The stratagem, after all, is quite transparently a critic-stopper. Its bogus nature is exposed when it is applied to anything else. Is criticism of the Tory party to be stopped because it is Toryphobia? Or of Trump because it is Trumpophobia? And so on, just fill in the blanks. Alas the Labour Government have agreed a definition of Anti-Muslim hostility defined as including violence, harassment, prejudicial stereotyping, and are proposing a “Tsar” to oversee it. This is a retrograde step, leading to blasphemy law by the backdoor.
The Islamophobia construct is a hollow sham and deserves contempt. All these stratagems are fraudulent. They are simply silencing devices, designed to erode western laws and make them compliant with Sharia. Everyone who supports democratic values of Western freedoms should dismiss them roundly.
