Guess who? Let's see... a guy with a Koran holding a sword... who could this possibly be?And guess where this image is located right now? At the Supreme Court of the United States.
I'd like to bring your attention to the piece translated from the Jyllands-Posten, the Danish publication which published the infamous cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. Here it is.
Excerpts (emphasis mine):
Apparently a lot of people in high places in our Democracy have a hard time understanding the simple fact that Islam as traditionally interpreted is not compatible with Democracy. In a reversal of priorities, they are defending Islam’s Freedom of Oppression by referring to the Freedom of Religion. Some even manage to bring the immigration debate into play: distancing oneself from the lack of Freedom in Islam is the same as discrimination or even racism.
Why is diminished Freedom acceptable when Religion is involved? Did not the Boers of South Africa call apartheid part of their faith? The Ku Klux Klan maintain their right to lynch black people as part of their faith - are they suddenly sacrosanct? No. None can be allowed to justify violations of Human Rights by invoking ‘Religious Beliefs’.
Only when it comes to Islam do some get all respectful and considerate of the intolerable. Where are the wrathful demonstrations against the massive oppression of free thought in the Moslem world? Against the grotesque oppression of women? Against the ongoing human rights violations? The standards by which we judge the Islamic world are obviously lower than the standards we apply to the rest of the world. To me, this seems like some kind of reverse racism, a twisted version of Kipling’s old say about ‘The White Man’s Burden‘.
(...)Islam won’t be democratised before it has had its reformation. There is no “Political Islam” contra a “Religious Islam”, even though it would be nice to think so. Islam is an unbreakable monolith of religion and politics where the Koran is the source of all legislation, a fact which constitutions in many Moslem countries make no secret of.
Definitely read it all. It's bloody well worth it!
The article speaks what must be spoken: the truth, which is what the Islamofascist terrorists, oppressors, tyrants and warmongerers fear and hate.
And a question for the left: you're always chanting about the "separation of church and state". How about the separation of mosque and state? Would you have the integrity required for consistency in this respect? I'm waiting for all leftists everywhere to denounce the fact of Islam trumping everything else and itself being the sole determinor of absolutely everything under the roof of the state.
Stop the hate. Stop the killing. Stand up for freedom, democracy and the rule of law!
