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.

Asia Bibi in Canada

It is possible that this is the first genuine refugee Canada has taken in. And it is an amazingly good thing that Canada did. One wonders if there are conditions to her being here such as limits to her freedom of speech to discuss Islam and its impact on minorities in Islamic countries. It is difficult not to believe that the Saudi girls are not under conditions like that as their language has been extremely measured since arriving here.

The CBC article failed to mention that the UK turned down her application because of concerns over how local muslims would behave. Once again showing who makes the law in the UK.

It is a powerfully good thing that Canada brought in Asia. However I personally have met migrants to Canada from Syria who were Christian but had to lie and say they were Muslim to get into Canada as a refugee. So while this extremely high profile case is an excellent event, someone needs to look in to the actual policy in Canada in terms of accepting genuine refugees of Islamic horror and discrimination against minority religions and see what is wrong in the system.

 

A court case where the method is far more important than the result

In the following Project veritas video, James O’keefe video, a teacher who had been secretly filmed by a Project Veritas associate, sued for defamation and lost.

To be honest, I think it was a weak bust. A teacher who, for all we know, had a really difficult large class of tough kids who make teaching a near impossibility, not saying it is this way, but its more than a little easy to believe it was, had a routine he did where he offered to let students fight him. No idea if this ever really happened and no idea if it wasn’t a schtick to earn street cred with students.

But there is one thing that is critically important and critically good about this case:

The judge decided 100% based on what was true and not true.

He decided against the claimant as there could not have been defamation because what was said about him and the video evidence showed it to be true.

This is as central to classical civilization as anything can be.

In communism as we are learning very quickly, what is true does not matter but what collective the parties involved are imputed to belong to. If the plaintiff is white and the defendant is black there will be a different outcome than if they belonged to other groups as assigned by the authorities’ prevailing ideology.

In Islam, it is very similar but much simpler.

The decision again, has nothing at all to do with truth, and everything to do with whether or not Islam is advantaged or disadvantaged by the information presented.

Defamation, liable and slander in any culture that is an intact descendant of Greek thought, MUST make its verdicts based on what can be shown to be true using logic, reason, and evidence.

But in Islam it is 100% based on what serves the interests of Islam and its position of authority. What is true plays exactly no part in any verdict.

This is not me saying it. This is codified in The Cairo Declaration of Human Rights presented to the UN via the OIC as official doctrine.

So whatever you feel about this odd case between what I think is a high school teacher and Project Veritas, we can rejoice that at least our legal system at that time and that place is intact.

ESW Files an Appeal With the European Court of Human Rights in Islam

An important update on the state of European Union Blasphemy laws From Gates of Vienna:

On January 22 lawyers for Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff filed an appeal of her “hate speech” conviction with the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.

Before I go any further, I must remind readers that Elisabeth incurred enormous legal expenses to put together and file this appeal with the ECtHR. To contribute to Elisabeth’s legal defense fund:

Elisabeth’s seminar on Islam was infiltrated by a leftist journalist in October of 2009. A year later she was indicted in an Austrian court for her “hate speech” about Mohammed. She was eventually convicted, and appealed at various levels, until finally her conviction was upheld by the European Court of Human Rights in October of last year.

In other words, the entire process has consumed a full decade of Elisabeth’s life.

So far…

No point in hiding it anymore. Trying to be nice about what Islam is and does has done nothing to slow its advance in terms of perverting and subverting Western Civilization to its will.

Maybe if news reels of Nazi concentration camps were shown on allied TV sets the war could have ended earlier sparing the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocents in the camps and on the battlefields at the expense of the dignity of a few people shown, and the sensitivities of those horrified by the reality.

I don’t even know if that was possible at the time, but the point is valid either way. Pretending Islam is not about this, does nothing to assist us in the understanding of its nature.

And as I have written a number of times, the worst aspect of this is likely not what we see but why it was done. The chances are high that what she is accused of would not even be a crime to us, and worse yet, the method used to establish guilt would be tantamount to casting a bone on the fire and having a shaman interpret the cracks.
