A question of agency in Islam with Robert Spencer

As some of you may know, I started a Substack to allow for some different materials and ideas to be published with also the hope that a few people might get a paid subscription as a few have mentioned they would like to support this work, but are allergic to PayPal. Substack has an excellent solution for this.

Anyway, so far the focus of the Substack has been to revive older videos I either shot myself, subtitled with the awesome team from Gates of Vienna, or just saved over the last 16 years or so that have been removed from the net and are now perhaps even more relevant and important than they were then. The problem with being too far ahead of the curve on a topic like leftism or Islam, is that the average sleeper cannot take it seriously since its effects aren’t within the 50mm focal length of the average human eye sight.

Since October 7th people seem to be a lot more willing to consider the issue of Islam than they were on October 6th though.

In 2016, ACT4Canada brought Robert Spencer to a secret location in Montreal, (yes it was already so bad in 2016 that you couldn’t have a gentle and scholarly critic of Islam speak publicly) to give a talk on the nature of Islam. Of course that has as far as I know, been removed from the internet.

The talk and full Q&A is available at the Substack post linked here. But below is one question to Robert from that talk on the Islamic view of agency, which I personally think is one of the most critical aspects of the difference between Islamic thought and Western Judeao-Christian-Greco-Roman thought. In other words, who do muslims blame for events and why? Especially when it comes to criticism of Islam, and women on sexual matters.

Robert’s answer is very important. And again, the whole talk and Q&A is linked here.

2013: BBC clip on death for blasphemy laws implemented in Bangladesh

This was in 2013. Death for criticism of Islam or its founder, the pirate Mohammad, is central dogma in Islamic scripture and sharia law. As Muslims become more numerous around the world, the decrease in freedom of speech is becoming obvious already. And while some countries have blasphemy of Islam laws disguised within “hate-speech” laws, most nations avoid speaking truthfully about Islam where muslims are numerous because Muslims will simply kill you themselves. This was the case quite often, certainly in France and the UK, but quite possibly in Denmark over two cartoonists and other less famous examples.

But one only needs to remember the Danish Cartoon Crisis which really began the suppression of freedom of speech in the West, if Salmon Rushdie wasn’t enough of an alarm clock.

The end game is what you see below. And it will happen here. As noted, for many it already has. Just ask anyone who worked at Charlie Hebdo. Or Samual Patty. 

Muslims in Sweden use the familiar extra-legal means to destroy rule of law and implement sharia

From RAIR Foundation: Quran Riots in Sweden: Islamic Migrants Violently Seize Control As Police Retreat (Videos)

“Our actions have shown that freedom of speech and freedom of peaceful assembly no longer exists in Sweden. Now, Sharia is the law of the land.” – Rasmus Paludan

On Thursday and Good Friday, Rasmus Paludan, the leader of the Danish Stram Kurs political party, scheduled protests in Sweden against Islamic Supremacy. Paludan organized demonstrations in some of the country’s most dangerous, immigrant-dense areas, widely considered no-go-zones. These protests, which coincide with the Muslim holiday Ramadan, were to show that Islamic values ??are not compatible with liberal Swedish society and its freedom of expression and opinion.

Sweden’s exploding violent migrant crime rate poses a threat to his neighboring country Denmark, explains Paludan, because of the easy access between Scandinavian countries due to the Nordic Passport Union. The Nordic Passport Union allows illegal migrants in Sweden to easily travel and reside in Denmark without any travel documentation or even a residence permit.

Please visit the RAIR link for the rest of the article, and several good videos on this event. 

As he often does, Danish politician and lawyer, Rasmus Paludan has forced Islam to expose itself as non-miscible to Western civilization, but also forced Western governments to expose its own inability to control Muslims within Scandinavia. In this case, the tale of the tape is spectacular.

Thank you Snaphanen.Dk and M for all the examples:

No idea how to embed a Gettr video so here is the direct link.

In this video, police have pistols drawn. Uncertain if fired:

One way you can tell a leftist from a reasonable person, is that a leftist will think that someone destroying a piece of their own property for whatever reason, is far worse than people destroying much more valuable property belonging to other people because they object to the person who is destroying their own property. Its basically a litmus test for people who may not think they are communists, but have been converted to it by stealth.

 

 

Thorough update on the Islamic forcing of sharia on a UK school

1. British school and local governments capitulate to sharia law with unabashed appology to muslims and a promise of an investigation for showing a cartoon.

For context, if a school showed a Nazi era cartoon to show what Nazi cartoons of Jews were, that would be both OK and even necessary on a course which included Nazi propaganda. So this is about only one thing. Enforcing sharia limits on the West. And its working.

BBC article to get up to speed for those unfamiliar with the tempest in a teapot which this issue should be. As I write this though, it occurs to me, the way to take total control of a teapot is to create a tempest in it.

Prophet Muhammad cartoon sparks Batley Grammar School protest

A teacher who showed pupils an “inappropriate” cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad – sparking protests outside a school – has been suspended.

The image depicting the founder of Islam was used in a lesson at Batley Grammar School on Monday.

Videos posted online show dozens of people standing outside the school on Thursday, with some demanding the teacher be sacked.

The government said it was never acceptable to “intimidate” teachers.

Head teacher Gary Kibble apologised “unequivocally”, adding the member of staff had “given their most sincere apologies” and been suspended pending an investigation.

Apology by school head.

A lone voice worried about the consequences of capitulation?

Tweet calling for protest:

Muslims use the classic threat of jihad against the school in the form of group allah ackbarring.

Statement by spokesman of the muslim community, who may or may not be a parent of one of the children. Chances are not, if its anything like the Sam patty event.

The demand for criminal proceedings against the teacher is much in accordance with UN resolution 16/18 which demanded that each nation enact some kind of legislation that would make Islamic blasphemy or criticism of Islam to be a criminal matter.

With religion and blues musicians as a rule, the bigger and more ornate the hat, the more important the leader or performer. Below, a complex hat delivers a lecture on the matter.

Another video of the protest:

Daily Mail story on some of this. Note that the protestors are not the parents. This is a critical aspect. This is the Islamic use of an extension of the Rahm Emanuel slogan. Create a crisis, then maximize its use.

Thousands sign petition started by students calling for suspended teacher ‘who showed Prophet Mohammed cartoons’ to keep his job – after he was whisked away from home on police advice over death threats

A petition started by students of the teacher suspended by Batley Grammar School has been signed by thousands of people today – at a rate of one per second – as it was revealed he was forced to flee his home because of death threats.   

The ‘burly Yorkshire lad’ in his 20s, who has not been named, is getting support from police after he allegedly showed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as the headteacher today kept 980 children at home after 50 Muslim protesters from outside the area turned up for a second day.  

Some of his students have launched a petition trying to save his job, which has been signed by more than 3,000 people by 2pm today, up by 2,000 in the past 12 hours.

People who backed the campaign to save his job have described him as a ‘good man’ and a ‘diligent teacher’ who is ‘respectful of all religions’. Others said the school must stand by him, insisting he was being ‘bullied out’ by ‘radicals’. 

One Muslim parent signed the petition, named Mohammed J, wrote: ‘I would like to convey my support for the school and also the teacher concerned. He has taught my daughter and she speaks very highly of him. I would not hesitate to see him teach her again. I am confident that the teacher concerned did not mean any offence and I hope following an investigation he returns to his role at the school.’

Thank you C. for all your hard work assembling these links.

 

 

 

France sees increasing danger to all teachers who fail to toe Islamic-socialist ideology

The West needs to pay close attention to these events. At this point its surprising that France at least even pays lip service to its own culture and values by offering these teachers protection. In Canada and the US I think we know what would happen to them. And this circumstance will happen more and more often, assuming there are any teachers left willing to stand up for Greek thought, Western values and freedom of conscience and speech.

Frau Merkel’s appeal to crush freedom of speech to save freedoms in Germany

Direct link.

Newspeak at its apex. Thank you MissPiggy for the examination and translation of this one.

This is most likely Merkel’s tandem effort with Erdogan and the OIC to impose Islamic blasphemy laws in Germany and by extension, the EU.

As we have come to expect, the method is to use th Frankfurt School’s Political Correctness in order to slide blasphemy laws in under the guise of tolerance. But it is in reality, the Marcusean Repressive Tolerance, which is the gateway to full Soviet like control on what can and cannot be said aloud. And if thoughts that run counter to the official consensus (global warming, men cannot become biological women) are said in private, the power bestowed on the listener to destroy your life makes #Metoo look trivial.

non-blurred video with sign and translation

WARNING: Nudity

The woman in the middle of what appears to be a large crowd of leftists and muslims starts out with a sign that says:

“Blasphemy is a right of (those who live in) the Republic of France”

It isn’t until people took her sign away that she went for a message that was harder to ignore.

“Do not sell secularism cheaply”.

This event appears to be a major march against “islamophobia“, that took place in Paris today. This is likely a prelude to a new anti-free speech law in the guise of hate speech. We are seeing this all over the Western world now.

How Frankfurt School managed to make hate speech, out of disagreement with the state

Direct link:

https://d.tube/v/vladtepesblog/QmXD4wuoLtDRDaGZ3pycYFExZhNCFgXXGiZfQEHLmr1WZM

Below, an explanation of this video by the translator, Ava Lon. Thank you very much for this difficult work, and Gates of Vienna for the edit and format.

This is 7 minutes long part of a longer video, from Krzysztof Karo? -the very Polish writer, who informed us about Spinelli and his role in the creation of the EU. The entire video is about the semantic changes uttered by the -as he calls them- Neo-Marxists, in order to appropriate the language, the debate and finally be able to create the narrative.

They reach this goal by starting by a premise (a false premise) that Truth cannot be known at all, it is only described by our imperfect language which can vary from one person to another, and therefore causes the Truth to be un-knowable or creates many Truths. [if you’re confused already, please keep in mind that 2+2=4, no matter how you say it, in what language, and how poor your grammar might be]

If the Truth depends on language, nothing seems simpler than modify it by modifying the language, on purpose. Who decides how the Truth will be modified, or rather: what will be called the Truth once the necessary changes have been performed?

Jürgen Habermas, belonging to the second generation of Frankfurt School philosophers, after suggesting the nonexistence of objective Truth and the possibility therefore of molding it at will, answers this question by proposing a collective solution in the endeavor of deciding what the Truth is, or rather what it should be.

The process in which the Truth is established is called the Discourse, according to the Communicative Action Theory -known in Poland as the Discourse Theory and this is the name used in the argument of Krzysztof Karo? in this video, ‘discourse’ being the key word- [and Discourse, unlike a normal discussion, doesn’t admit dissent], and the consensus that is reached in that process isn’t reached by presenting better arguments, but rather by pressuring everyone to abandon their views and adhere to the consensus.The difference between this and a compromise is that in a compromise everybody gives up something in order to agree on a common ground. In the Neo-Marxist Consensus Discourse certain positions are entirely given up and the person whole-heartedly takes the Truth established by the discourse and its consensus as HIS OWN [just like in Orwell’s 1984, it wasn’t enough to just ACCEPT the Big Brother, you had to truly LOVE him].

Once everybody agreed what the Truth is (in every particular case), doubting, criticizing, speaking about different possibilities, or even just asking questions about that Neo-Marxist “revealed Truth” is sowing discord, enmity and hate speech.

I thought this was very important in the light of the sentencing of ESW in Austria, where clearly the truth was not a defense, and anyway, the court seems to have had already some sort of consensus about what the truth was.

2013 interview with the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on the implementation of UN Res. 16/18

We are restoring this because of its terrible importance. Many people, most in fact, do not know about 16/18 or its importance, and would likely think you unwell or dishonest if you tried to explain it to them.

Here it is from the head of the OIC himself, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who is more clear than most of our own leaders on the intention of 16/18.

Please note that it has now been thoroughly established that the attack on the US Embassy in Libya was a well planned terrorist attack by Islamic groups and had nothing whatsoever to do with the short and badly made Youtube film on the life of Mohammad mentioned in the video. In fact, that video only had 13 views at the time that the attack happened, which leads many to suspect that the Obama/Clinton admin had created the film as kind of false Cases Belli for this event or one like it. Possibly to advance the implementation of Islamic blasphemy laws within the USA.

Subsequent to this, we have seen Canadian Parliamentary motion M103 be adopted and financed, and many other nations around the world, including Austria and the EU adopt saleable laws which clearly are meant to conform to UN 16/18, although typically renamed into something that the locals can accept.

From EW:

A stunning display of hypocrisy at a “freedom of speech” conference

It is established that Twitter has agreed to conform to Pakistani blasphemy laws.

It is stunning that at a free speech event, RT is banned but the CBC and BBC are not although the reasons for banning RT (presumably) apply more to the CBC and BBC.

The Rebel managed to attend but they clearly attempted to stop Ezra from asking the only question that mattered. This was a stage managed event and no dissent was to be permitted, and the Pakistani censors must not be challenged.

This is a truly outstanding moment by The Rebel’s Ezra Levant, equalled perhaps only by his appearance as a defendant at the disgraceful Canadian ‘Human Rights Commissions’.

Freedom of speech is dying all over the world and the UK appears to be the vanguard of the new totalitarian push against freedom of speech.
