Freedom Of Speech @ MindSay

    I don't usually go off on a tangent about other people's blogs but it really angers me that people are so judgmental of what others write.  If you don't like it then just don't read it.  I personally have read some pretty terrible things on other peoples pages but if I don't like it or if I am offended in any way I move on.  Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.  For me, Mindsay is a place I go to vent my frustrations, share my day with extended family and friends, post pictures of my little one and his cousins.  But it is not somewhere I go to pass judgment on other peoples blogs.  I guess some can argue that Freedom of Speech goes both ways however who can really determine who is right or who is wrong.  We are all individuals with our own beliefs and our own reasoning and that is what makes us unique, that is what makes us in INDIVIDUALS.  I can't help but wonder if people who pass so much judgment expect all of us to fit into the same tiny single minded box?  I don't know the answer to that question.  I do know that is a box I don't ever want to crawl into. 
   

Gregorius Nekschot is a controversial cartoonist in The Netherlands who “is known primarily for cartoons mocking Muslims and leftists” according to an MSNBC report sent to us by niassa.  Last week, he was arrested by Dutch police for violating hate speech laws.  A spokesperson for the police said “We suspect him of insulting people on the basis of their race or belief, and possibly also of inciting hate.”

While Nekschot’s cartoons are non-English, you can probably tell from the one posted above why he may draw the ire of some.  But, his cartoons are posted primarily to his personal web site.  That seems like a big departure from the freedom of speech laws we have in the media here, where at most, controversial language and topics are relegated to cable, or outside of prime time hours.  

Do you think the US should be more like The Netherlands, or is arresting people based on what they publish to the Web a case of the government really overstepping its bounds?   

Okay let us try to at least pretend to be observant.

 

Secular Humanism under the guise of moral relativist organizations have been warring against Christianity, against Christian morality and the Christian inspiration for the rule of law in America for over half a century. Some of my fellow zealots may even place this Leftist war on Christianity at an even greater length of time, but I personally don’t have the time to do the research to pin point Secular Humanistic slow erosive acts against Christianity in America. Let us just say that legal actions that would have been unthinkable fifty years ago are becoming common in this early part of the 21^st century.

 

Just a few days ago I posted about a Christian business was fined over six-thousand dollars for refusing to do a photo op for a same sex union ceremony in New Mexico. Evidently the State of New Mexico has made State level anti-discriminatory laws which unconstitutionally override the Federal Law in the First Amendment in which is stated specifically that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion (thereof).

 

Let’s see if I can find some anti-Christian legal battles either instituted by the Government, the ACLU or the various deviant homosexual rights organizations (not necessarily in order).

 

Navy Lt Gordon James Klingenschmitt was court-martialed and booted out of the Navy for praying in the NAME OF JESUS.

 

Tyler Chase Harper in 2003 chose to wear tee shirts that said “I will not accept what God has condemned” and “Be ashamed, our school has embraced what God has condemned.” The Poway Unified School District chose to punish Harper for expressing Constitutional First Amendment Right to freely exercise his religious beliefs.

 

Mohammedans are provided special rooms and/or occasions to pray in Public and Collegiate level schools; however Brittany McComb was prevented from giving her Valedictorian speech in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2006 because it was known she was going to express her faith in Jesus Christ.

 

In 2007 the American Family Association sends out an Action Alert about the Senate and the House of Representatives working on legislation that would Pastoral or Ministerial sermons on the sinfulness of homosexuality a hate crime.

 

Here we are AGAIN with the Day of Silence garbage in 2008 in which many Public Schools across the nation will force student to learn that homosexuality and transgender lifestyles are not deviant. This is happening with impunity knowing the big money for litigation is with the homosexuals via homosexual organizations and especially the ACLU (the King pen of anti-Christianity).

 

I could on and on; nonetheless I have to mention Secular Humanist war against one of the most Holy Days of Christianity – Christmas. Way too many corporate store chains are falling into the same pit the Left has forced the government into, viz. censoring Christmas because it is Christian. The big Capitalists (and I not against Capitalism) want to be Leftie Politically Correct and make their Christmas dough at the same time. Every Christmas comes a controversy: no Santas; no Salvation Army bell ringers, the replacement of “Merry Christmas” with “Merry X-mas” or “Happy Holidays” and so on.

 

Is there a war on Christianity in America? You’re darn toot’in!

 

The latest stupidity in battling Christianity is an ACLU legal win in banning a quarter century school tradition of praying before Football Games at East Brunswick High School located in New Jersey. The Coach even tried to accommodate the ACLU by refraining from verbal prayer but having a student lead in a moment of silent prayer. The Court said NO!

Something that is not getting a lot of play on the media is the Free Speech persecution of a British Blogger known as Lionheart.

 

The last I heard he was flying back to Britain knowing that he was to be arrested as he stepped off the plane. Why the arrest? Lionheart is an ex-miscreant who turned his life around by becoming a Christian. Stories of turning one’s life around by becoming a Christian are rare stories in Europe these days.

 

I am unaware what Lionheart does to pay the bills; however his trouble with the British law is over his Blog’s writing about the threat of Islamism to Western society. Evidently a Mohammedan complained to the authorities in Britain that Lionheart’s blogs were incitement to hate-speech. You see there is no First Amendment right of freedom of speech in Britain as it is protected in America. In Britain a simple act of Parliament can redefine the parameters of Freedom of Speech.

 

This is what Lionheart is a victim of. Britain has a hate crimes law that if publications or speech is offensive to a race, creed, religion, gender etc.; then it is an equivalent of an American felony. That means if you point out acts of hatred as part of a religion, an offended member of that religion can press charges for hate speech.

 

Not being from Britain this may not be the precise definition; however it is the essence of Lionheart’s legal problems. Lionheart is anti-jihadi and anti-Islamist. Lionheart’s exposés of the jihad-Islamist mentality of much of the British Muslim population is criminal in Britain.

 

I have not run into any news about what has happened to Lionheart after he stepped off that plane; however I have ran into some information about what Lionheart is doing that the British law enforcement has determined enough to warrant an arrest.

 

This information comes from the Jillosophy blog. I will post her information with a few formatting changes at this blog.

My fellow Americans of all races, creeds and religions: America is at war with Terrorists that tell the world their religion is Islam and the school of Islam they follow represents the true interpretation of their prophet Mohammed. Indeed every modern terrorist attack is a 21^st century tactical upgrade of Mohammed’s own tactics to spread his cult and to aggrandize power first for himself and later to the ruling elites that admired Mohammed’s techniques of conquest and enforced submission.

 

It has been said that a majority of Mohammedans denounce or disagree with Islamist Terrorist claims they represent the true religion of Islam/Mohammedanism. This majority of Mohammedans labeled moderate is said to account for 90% of the Mohammedan belief system.

 

The difficulties with that claim are that of the 90% only a fraction actively and vocally denounce the actions of Islamist Terrorists. In Europe and America (especially America), the majority of the funding of Mosques and Imam/Mullah or whatever the Mohammedan clerics are called receive funding from Saudi Arabia.

 

Hello! The dominant school of thought among Sunni Mohammedans in Saudi Arabia is Wahhabi. Wahhabi/Muslim Brotherhood is the vile ideology of terrorists like Usama bin Laden (mentioned for notoriety, there are many factions of terrorists).

 

Let me ask you: Who was responsible for the deaths of American citizens in the thousands on September 11, 2001? If you said Usama bin Laden and his al Qaeda transnational Islamist terrorist organization, at least you know why there is a War on Terror.

 

Now here is the thing. Local Mohammedan non-profit organizations primarily represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) receive their funding and teaching materials from either Islamist terrorists such the vile murderous group known as Hamas (Arabs calling themselves Palestinians) and/or Wahhabi Saudi Arabia.

 

It is politically correct to look the other way if a potential offense from a group of ideologues who claim to be a religion of peace is a finger of evil. This is obviously the case with terrorist supported and terrorist supporting CAIR.

 

If anyone who has become enlightened to understand the goals and the instrumentality to execute those goals and to perpetuate a community where freedom and liberty is non-existent (hence “Islamofascism”), then those fakir become a target for character assassination. The very intolerant racist bigoted hate of Islamists is deceptively implicated on the enlightened. The actuality is bigotry and racism is not the issue for that is what the Mohammedan has towards all non-Mohammedans; the issue is exposing the Mohammedan agenda as dangerous to American or Western Culture.

 

The dumb moonbat Lefties have fallen for the race card hook, line and sinker because their touching faith in civil rights as an absolute; even if the enemy uses those civil rights to perpetuate the destruction of a non-Mohammedan culture.

 

Michael Savage is currently experiencing this attack when the intolerant bigots of Mohammedanism have the audacity of calling Savage a hate-mongering racist bigot (I kind of pushed the envelope on that description). CAIR wants Savage out of Talk Radio and is actively contacting sponsors of his programming to drop him. If there are no sponsors then Savage’s employers cancel his Talk Radio program. If CAIR succeeds, they will have effectively convinced sponsors that CAIR links to Hamas is a non-issue thus preventing Free Speech efforts of exposing Mohammedanism from occurring.

 

Effectively local American Islamists that act as a Fifth Column will have silenced a critic relying on the current American mindset of being Politically Correct. Michael Savage is not the first to experience this; however the notoriety of his name among the extreme Right is like a prize kill in a safari.

 

Brave bloggers like Andrew Whitehead were threatened with extreme litigation to end their efforts to expose Islam and CAIR in particular as a threat to American society. Whitehead was the David having little original funding to fight CAIR – the Goliath – who has the funding of rich Islamists from Saudi Arabia and Hamas. In America David/Whitehead spanked CAIR/Goliath in the Courts for CAIR dropped the suit when they began to realize that in the course of a civil trial, CAIR’s true nature would become public. I am certain some of those things CAIR feared to be publicly revealed might have led to criminal charges.

 

In the case of Michael Savage you need to read the Cybercast News Service for the details on the CAIR attack on Savage’s livelihood with the racist/bigot card that Islamists nearly hold the monopoly on.
