Thrilled that Yahoo ran this article on the fight for free speech in the West:
“Fighting Back in the War on Free Speech,” Pamela Geller, March 18, 2012
Story continues below advertisementFree speech is under attack worldwide, and the attack is growing in virulence. But now a new international organization is fighting back.
Back in December, the United Nations passed Resolution 16/18, with the backing of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The stated goal of the resolution was to “combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief,” but this is all just smoke and mirrors. In fact, this resolution is designed to restrict truthful speech about Islamic supremacy and jihad, so as to render the West mute and defenseless before the advancing threat of jihad and Sharia.
Those who assume that the First Amendment will protect us from this are whistling in the dark. The First Amendment doesn’t work automatically. And if you think that Constitutional Amendments can’t be restriction and essentially legislated out of existence, try buying a handgun in New York City. Legally, that is.
But now a new organization is fighting back against this assault on our most fundamental freedom. The first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, the operating body of the human rights organization “Stop Islamization of Nations” (SION), will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop addressing Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West.
The objective of this first-of-its-kind workshop is to develop media-related mechanisms to address the smear campaigns and give free people the resources they need to fight back and defend freedom.
The workshop will discuss at length the reasons behind and the results of the Western media’s offensive campaigns against freedom of speech and the truth about Islam, jihad, Islamic supremacy and Muslims, which it added still occur from time to time. It will represent a quantum leap in media action, as it discusses, beyond rhetoric, the practical steps that freedom lovers need to take in order to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech.
Freedom fighters from all over the globe, journalists, intellectuals and academicians will be among the participants in the workshop, which will consist of brainstorming sessions to develop mechanisms for cooperation with external partners, and to develop an action plan to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech.
This is the first significant step to resist OIC efforts to destroy the freedom of speech and impose Sharia blasphemy laws on the free world.
This Congress will be held on the eleventh anniversary of the day jihad came to America in order to strike a blow for freedom.
Speakers at SION’s International Freedom Defense Congress will include SION President and human rights activist Pamela Geller, SION Vice-President, author and scholar, Robert Spencer, the Israeli author Dr. Mordechai Kedar; Dr. Ashraf Rameleh, President of Voice of the Copts, an international organization standing up for the human rights of Coptic Christians and all religious minorities against religious bigotry and intolerance; Dr. Ali Sina, the renowned ex-Muslim author and founder of FaithFreedom.org; Cliff Kincaid, editor of the Accuracy in Media (AIM) and a leader of the struggle to keep the jihadi propaganda network Al-Jazeera off American airwaves; Anders Gravers of “Stop Islamisation of Europe” (SIOE); Danish free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard; Italian human rights activists Magdi Christiano Allam and Valentina Colombo; English politician and freedom fighter Paul Weston; and renowned Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks. More speakers will be announced shortly.
In SION we stand for the freedom of speech – as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of “blasphemy” and “slander,” which are used effectively to quash honest discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism; the freedom of conscience – as opposed to the Islamic death penalty for apostasy; and the equality of rights of all people before the law – as opposed to Sharia’s institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims.

Sad news in France:

This Quranic attack in Toulouse is a reminder of why Mohammedanism needs to be stopped while there’s a still a chance to save our society. France should be a lesson to us about what happens when a society tolerates the satanic Muslonazi colonists. The subhuman beasts start as “oh so innocent victims”, but the moment they reach 3, 4, or 5 % of the population suddenly the Shari’ah-mandated genocide kicks in.
This Quranic attack is also a reminder of how in 1400 years of imperialism, has a Muslonazi EVEN ONCE attacked a soldier? Do the Shari’ah adherents even understand the idea that just because the Quran requires ritual human sacrifice that its not a very nice way to wage Jihad? If only because of the blowback? How can these colonists whine about “innocent Afghani” villagers, but when they engage in jihad they don’t give a damn about ritually slaughtering innocent children. I will care about “Afghani villagers” when the Mohammedans start caring about kuffar victims as well.
At least we can stop hearing the Mohammed-worshippers whine about “Islamophobia”.
God Damn the Muslonazis of France. God Damn the “Palestinians” and every society which worships Mohammed.

No Canadian flag? With Canada having the leader of the Free World as Prime Minister? With Canada correctly convicting honor killing families? And didn’t you notice who Israel’s leader visited first in his North American trip? What is the reason for this bizarre omission?

What’s the problem with a little bit of cancer? Everyday since it’s birth Islam has killed millions and millions and millions of innocent people and the islamic hydra is spreading and spreading and killing and killing but no one seems to be worried…so if the islam hydra is ok to live with what’s wrong with a little bit of cancer…afte rall cancer can deliver us of the torture of living in and with islam.
Right now we are a Type 0 (zero) civilization.
Till we stamp out islam which is a negative twin of the positive von Neumann probes all research and technology is just a waste of time. Islam is the parasite we have to deal with right now once and for all or else all this is just up in the air that will be burnt and destroyed and a massive waste of time. Look into the future….islam is about to blind the human race.
Since islam is based on slavery and mohammad was a slave owner…exploiting people is good sharia. As soon as muslims take over any land…. Exploitation and rape of anyone non muslim is sharia compliant and encouraged. When the whole world becomes muslim dominated….breeding of slaves of people who did not convert and will not convert will turn Slavery into a multibillion dollar industry and Earth as a planet will be the largest and biggest slave producer and exporter in the Universe. islam as a cult that became a religion and a successful producer of non-stop misery will reach its zenith within a few hundred years from now. Fantastic is all one can say when one actually realises what one man with a mental disease can achieve even after death through chaos and hate as divine mental insanity. In islam logic is blasphemy and hence its rabid success story.

@old cross-eyes
You should remember your Human Rights Commission has been suppressing free speech on behalf of islamonazis. Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant being two victims persecuted by this
“human rights” commission. I believe Ezra Levant spent a MILLION dollars defending himself against the HRC’s attempt to take away his right to free speech. How many other people could afford a million dollars to legally defend themselves against islamonazi collaborators?

With this SION event being held on September 11, 2012 it’s good to remember the words of the former President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. Which are
“A conviction that we are right accomolishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong” and “Fortitude..teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.” Also, he wrote “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
