It took centuries of intellectual, philosophical development to achieve
political freedom. It was a long struggle, stretching from Aristotle to John
Locke to the Founding Fathers. The system they established was not based on
unlimited majority rule, but on its opposite: on individual rights, which were
not to be alienated by majority vote or minority plotting. The individual was
not left at the mercy of his neighbors or his leaders: the Constitutional
system of checks and balances was scientifically devised to protect him from
both. This was the great American achievement—and if concern for the actual
welfare of other nations were our present leaders’ motive, this is what we
should have been teaching the world. Ayn Rand
Now, not so much. Last week, Obama attacked ‘those who slander the Prophet of Islam’ at the UN General Assembly. The "free press" ignored it, but it was a seismic historical moment. And now the world's largest Islamic supremacist workd body, the OIC, is calling for worldwide blasphemy laws.
The OIC is
one of the largest intergovernmental organizations in the world.
It encompasses 56 Muslim states plus the Palestinian Authority. Spread
over four continents, it claims to speak in the name of the ummah (the
universal
Muslim community), which numbers about 1.3 billion. The OIC’s
mission is to unite all Muslims worldwide by rooting them in the Koran
and the Sunnah — the core of traditional Islamic civilization and
values. It aims at strengthening solidarity and
cooperation among all its members, in order to protect the interests of
Muslims everywhere and to galvanize the ummah into a unified body. The OIC is a unique organization — one that
has no equivalent in the world. It unites the religious, economic,
military, and political strength of 56 states.Story continues below advertisement
Ten years ago, twenty, thirty …. this would have been unheard of,
laughed at (and rightly so) from the hallowed halls of the White House to
the dirt roads of the corn belt. Now it is being debated and
considered. How far we have fallen from the once-great, enlightened ideal
of the individual's freedom from physical compulsion.
The OIC has massive
funding from oil sources, which it lavishly spends on the Western media
and academia and in countless “dialogues.” It influences Western
policy, laws, and even textbooks
through pressures brought by Muslim
immigrants and by the Western nations’ own leftist parties.
The OIC is nothing less than a “would-be, universal
caliphate.” It might look different from the caliphates of the
Ottomans, Fatimids, and Abbasids. It might resemble, instead, a
thoroughly modern trans-national bureaucracy. But, already, the OIC
exercises significant power through the United Nations, and through
the European Union, which has been eager to accommodate the OIC
while simultaneously endowing the U.N. with increasing authority for
global governance.(Bat Ye'or)
It is not hard to know how Obama's special envoy to the OIC is advising him. Obama's special envoy to the OIC, Rashad Hussain, is a hafiz. A hafiz is a devout Muslim who has committed the Koran
to memory. This impresses Obama enormously; he often brags about it…..
Will America submit gently to the most radical and extreme ideology on the planet? I think not. Freedom of speech is the line in the sand. This is the stuff of civil war. And free men will fight to the death for our freedoms and unalienable human rights.
"Islamic group calls for ban on offending prophet" Huffington Post
UNITED NATIONS — The head of a leading Islamic organization
Saturday called for a global ban on offending the character of the
Prophet Muhammad, saying that it should be equated with hate speech.Such a ban would demonstrate how an interconnected world respected
different cultural sensitivities, said Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary
general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in an interview with
The Associated Press."If the Western world fails to understand the sensitivity of the
Muslim world, then we are in trouble," Ihsanoglu said. Such provocations
pose "a threat to international peace and security and the sanctity of
life."Ihsanoglu's remarks follow protests that erupted in Muslim countries
after a low-budget film, "Innocence of Muslims," produced by a U.S.
citizen denigrated the Prophet Muhammad by portraying Islam's holiest
figure as a fraud, womanizer and child molester.Some two dozen demonstrators were killed in protests that attacked
symbols of U.S. and the West, including diplomatic compounds. The U.S.
Ambassador to Libya and three of his colleagues were killed in an attack
on their compound in the eastern city of Benghazi during the same time.Many of the protests were led or provoked by hardline puritan
Muslims, who form small but growing minorities throughout the Islamic
world.Ihsanoglu, whose organization represents 57 Muslim-majority
countries, said they respect the right of freedom of expression, but
believed a line had to be drawn at incitement."We are not saying stop free speech. We are staying stop hate speech," Ihsanoglu said.
While European leaders and U.S. President Barack Obama have sharply
condemned the film, they also have defended the importance of free
speech even if it allows extremists to broadcast offensive views.Still, it appeared difficult to see how such a provision proposed by
Ihsanoglu could ever work – even if it was agreed to – because of the
easy access to social media websites on the Internet that can be used to
spread offensive material. Excerpts from "Innocence of Muslims" were
posted on YouTube.Ihsanoglu said his call for a ban did not imply he was rewarding violent protesters, whom he sharply condemned.
Instead, he said such a ban would show a global sensitivity to the
veneration which 1.5 billion Muslims have for the Prophet Muhammad. He
said he was not calling for a ban on criticizing Islam, but
specifically, on denigrating its founding prophet."You have to see that there is a provocation. You should understand
the psychology of people who revere their prophet and don't want people
to insult him," he said.Ihsanoglu's call also echoed the views of other moderate Muslim
scholars and leaders, who have urged the U.N. and international bodies
to define global standards on religious expression and to help prevent
incitement – particularly Islamaphobia.

Obama’s dangerous consistency
http://www.carolineglick.com/e/
Hussein Obama is working as a Muslim Brotherhood agent. Why is this charade presidency allowed to continue. He is their agent. Will he be arrested and tried for treason in the future? He shouldn’t be allowed to just leave the White House and go to a mansion in Hawaii. He needs to pay a price for what he’s done, as well as others, who worked secretly to destroy America.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

THis is a Christian site , but its a nice summing up of Islam.
So warning you a head of time which direction this information is coming from.
This is posted only for its info about, Islam not trying to convert anyone. Most of this is know to readers of this blog. But there are parts that illuminate Islamics that some may not know

Mobs of Muslim slaves incited by their Grand Mufti are burning Churches and Temples of the Christian and Buddhist minorities. The motive of the Mufti is to increase his Jizya (extortion money), and it always gets paid. This ugly practice will end when Navy Seals seize the extortionists and transport them to Guantanamo. There they will be water boarded until they disclose the names of their racketeering partners. Drones can soon be dispatched to bust the butts of the untouchable Islamic Mafia. Allah and Muhammad will then have to get jobs making an honest buck.

If anyone says the fictional figure Mohammad was a child molesting, murdering, rapist thief and lier how can that be an insult when it’s the truth – if it’s not the truth, whats it doing in their book. They can always remove those passages and admit he didn’t exist, problem solved.

According to the OIC, if muslims riot, loot, burn Churches, kill people, etc. then the victims of these crimes and their co-religionists must then make concessions in order to prevent further outbreaks of riots, looting, burning of Churches, killing people, etc.
That might be logical albeit unfair if we were the weaker party but being the stronger party, it seems better to punish this sort of behaviour rather than reward it. It’s not enough at this point just to say no. There has to be numerous very thorough butt kickings administered and these should be strictly punitive, no aiding the enemy before or afterwards.

there is no such thing as
global law
nor should there be
the concept rests in the stupidity
of declaring ” war crimes ”
after WW2
the un is the result of the stupidity of
roosevelt and truman
just like
the league of nations was
the result of the stupidity of
wilson
GLOBAL LAW ????
from which there is no
sanctusry or escape ????
even the medieval tyrants
rejected that
more importantly
from whence would come the authority
to enact GLOBAL LAW
the un is not g-d
nor his vicar
hosanna obama the magnificent
is not g-d
but a mere politician
who’s supposed to
serve the people and not
dictate to them
i do not expect the moslem imposter
in the white house to accept this
for he thinks he is g-d
the diametric opposite of
allah

Freedom of Speech: use it or loose it.

Who will determine what provocation is? Is a naked Jesus on stage a provocation? I think so! Is a crucifix in a jar of urine a provocation? I think so! Is the Virgin Mary covered in dung a provocation? I think so! I always thought those were offenses to Christianity, but the world called it art. And I accepted it because I was born and raised in a tyranny, and I know the value of liberty and free speech.
These savages should be ignored. Suck it up, morons!

The Muslim world can start off by cleaning up the hate for Jews and Christians within the Qur’an. Islam is the only religion in the world calling for the killing of other so called non-believers.
What makes Islam the authority of who is, and who is not a believer of their faith?
What makes Islam the authority to condemn the Old and New Testaments.
What makes Islam the authority to defile Jesus Christ?
What makes Islam an authority of anything whatsoever to do with other religions?
Yes, to come into the civilized world, Islam must quit it’s savagery.
Yes, to gain any respect, Islam has to start cleaning up their own hate, PERIOD

Islam is NOT a religion of peace..in fact it is not even a religion..Islam is a social structure that follows the tenets of muhammad,a child predator,who advocated global jihad for a global caliphate and world hegemony. There is no place in modern society for this 6th century culture as enumerated
in the medina koran.
