Islam In The News
In Hollands latest disgusting demonstration of appeasement and cowardice, the government has delayed for several weeks the release of a ten minute film exposing the Koran as being worse than the Nazi Manifesto, created by Geert Wilders, the leader of the conservative Dutch Freedom Party.
“If I had announced that I was going to make a film about the fascist character of the Bible would there have been a crisis meeting of Holland’s security forces?” he asked. “Would I have received as many death threats as I have done since announcing I was making a film about the Koran? Of course not.”
“The fact that a 10-minute film not yet shown could, according to some, lead to economic boycotts, riots and other horrible things says everything about the nature of Islam. Nothing about me. The cabinet acknowledges with its panicky reaction that Islam is not comparable to Christianity, but is a unique ideology. And this ideology thus demands a separate, unique approach. The Koran film has thus already demonstrated its usefulness.”
In an attempt to defuse tensions, the Dutch government will tomorrow announce that it will not implement a ban on the Islamic burqa dress.
Iran’s parliament, the Majlis, this week warned of “extensive repercussions from Muslims throughout the globe” if the film was broadcast.

In other Religion of Peace news, An Afghani journalist has been sentenced to death for writing an article on women’s rights, which was construed as offensive to Islam.
Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, 23, from the northern Balkh province, was detained last October on charges of blasphemy and defaming Islam.
He allegedly wrote articles on the role of women in Muslim society and quoted verses in the Quran about women. The family said the articles were not authored by the journalist. They said he took them off the Internet and distributed them.
Women have no rights and defending their non-existent rights goes against Islamic teaching. As usual in Islamic “courts of law”, he was not allowed a lawyer or defense witnesses or allowed to present evidence in his defense. This is Sharia Law. Also as usual, the value of a persons life is non-existent. All you need to get yourself killed under Sharia Law is to be accused of something by any religious leader. In Islam it’s total obedience or death.

Barack Hussein Obama has issued this statement: “I think that those who are of the Muslim faith are deserving of respect and dignity, but to try and feed into this fear-mongering and try to question my faith commitments and my belief in Jesus Christ, I think is offensive,” Obama also said. “And I want to make sure that people are absolutely clear about what’s going on with this, and if they get another one of these e-mails that they’re deleting it and letting their friends know that it’s nonsense.”
Good. Now that he’s finally made a statement about Islam, he’s laid himself wide open and you can bet he will be attacked on this by the Republicans if he gets that far. This guy is a liar. He attended Islamic school and when he went to Catholic school he was registered as a muslim. This is well documented.

Turkey’s Erdogan is lifting the ban on Islamic clothing in the nation’s universities without waiting for parliament to end the curbs in a new constitution.
Another example of him pushing Turkey away from the secular state it’s been and into Islamic Sharia law.

Saudi Arabian women are enjoying new freedoms. Reuters recently reported that, “Saudi authorities, breaking with religious codes that require women to be accompanied by a male guardian, have decided to allow women to stay in hotels on their own.” Not only that but “Saudi Arabia is to lift its ban on women drivers in an attempt to stem a rising suffragette-style movement in the deeply conservative state.”
Clearly, Saudi women have more balls than the men there do. While these “new freedoms” may seem like nothing to you and me, for the Saudis these are major concessions that go directly against centuries of oppression.

So-called honor killings, whereby a Muslim male family member, typically the father, murders his daughter in order to defend the family’s honor, is a growing problem. Women all over the Americas and Europe are being killed for some deviation from strict Islamic rules and muslim clerics continue to pour out sermons recommending violence against women.
This has always been the norm in Islamic societies but is MURDER in ours. As these girls grow up in Western society, they naturally want to be like their Western peers, but their immigrant muslim male parents brought their intractable religion with them and this endangers the children.
As these parents age and die off, and as governments fight this and prosecute offenders, this problem will fade. But not if we keep letting in more muslims to prolong the agony.

Iran’s conservative vetting body has banned nearly one in every three potential candidates from standing in the coming March 14 parliamentary elections, for “non-adherence to Islam and the Islamic Republic system and not being loyal to the Constitution and to the principle of “absolute guardianship of jurisprudence”.
Only devout muslims need apply.

People will never seem to grasp, despite the example of 50+ islamic states, that Islam is not purely a religion but a political system and that to criticise the Qu’ran or other holy books that advocate and promote this political system is no less valid than attacking Mein Kampf or Das Kapital.
I see no reason to offend unecessarily by criticising purely religious aspects of those books, I really do not give a damn what they say about my chances of basking in Allah’s glory, but when it comes to guidance on the here and now that effects all of us, they should let rip. If protests lead to any breaking our laws, arrest the bastards.
