Islam
s War on Freedom

August 31, 2008

Free speech is not a bargaining chip. It’s not something for lawyers to dissect to their advantage or for politicians to trade away for cheap votes. It’s sacred. And that’s a concept that some religious people seem to have trouble understanding.

Just when we thought the United Nations couldn’t get any more useless, something called the Organisfontlamic Conference, which is a fancy way of saying a Saudi-funded cartel of Islamic dictatorships, has been allowed to hijack the United Nations Human Rights Council, thus rendering it instantly and permanently worthless.

Nevertheless, with all the plodding predictability of a Hollywood car chase, their first order of business was to pass a resolution banning criticism of Islam and sharia, and, by extension, of their own barbaric regimes, with all the stonings and beheadings, amputations and female genital mutilation that so disgusts everyone in the civilised world.

In other words they’ve tried to make it illegal to criticise evil. A bit like abolishing penicillin because the bacteria are offended.

I thought the United Nations existed to help drag countries like this out of the Stone Age, not for them to drag everybody else back there. But apparently not, because next April in Geneva the United Nations is hosting a conference on racism at which this manipulative nonsense is likely to be enshrined, giving Islam special status in international law. And given the kind of unprincipled leaders we have in the West right now, especially here in Europe, there’s every chance that this could have a real effect on our freedom of expression in the civilised world.

Islam has a notoriously one-sided view of free speech, just it has a one-sided view of everything else. If you criticise Islam publicly you will be abused and threatened almost beyond belief, as an army of hysterical brainwashed illiteramuses line up to shit the contents of their minds into your mailbox. Check out the feedback page on my website for an idea of what you can expect.

And maybe some of you leftie liberal multicultural pricks who are always telling me that Islam is peace, maybe you’d like to take a look as well, that’s if you can bear to pull your heads out of your America-hating arses for five minutes.

“Islam is peace” is a message that has been spread to the four corners of the mosque, and that’s where it stops, because nobody else is buying it in a million years. Islam is as Islam does, and as long as the Saudis hold the reins and continue to finance extremists and to teach children violence and hate, then Islam is Islam, and peace has nothing to do with it. And every concession we make to it is an invitation to the past to reach out a bony hand and grab us by the nuts.

And we’re already on a slippery slope, which is being liberally greased by our own leaders who don’t like freedom any more than Islam does. And that’s why Islamists are free to say whatever they want to in our society; to criticise us, to insult us for the way we dress, for the way we behave, our culture, our values, even calling for homosexuals to be killed without being arrested for incitement to murder, because that might inflame community relations. But anyone who so much as raises an eyebrow in protest at any of this is immediately accused of hate speech.

Well, personally, I don’t do hate speech, because I think hate is a self-destructive emotion, and therefore rather a stupid one, but I do a pretty good line in disdain and contempt speech, and anyone who thinks their faith should trump my freedom is going to get that by the bucketload. Sorry to be so disrespectful and everything. It’s just that I believe the time to start defending your freedom is while you’ve still got it, not after it’s gone. And that’s why I think that this conference in Geneva should be boycotted by all civilised countries. The Canadians, to their credit, have already opted out. Let’s just hope some pin-headed human rights commissioner doesn’t force them to change their minds.

We’ve been exposed to Islam up close in the West for a couple of decades, I suppose, ever since the Rushdie affair brought it to everyone’s attention like a shovel to the back of the head. And we’ve had a chance to take a good long look at it from our perspective, and to measure it against our cultural values. Remember them?

And many of us don’t like what we see, I’m afraid. In fact, we’re appalled and disgusted by much of what we see, and we’re going to say so loud and clear (well some of us are anyway), and anyone who doesn’t want to hear it had better shut their ears along with their minds, because free speech is our birthright in the civilised world. It’s what made us the civilised world. And we know it’s our lifeline to the future, and if we let anyone pick it apart then our society has no future, which is exactly what the Islamists intend.

Make no mistake, what the people behind this resolution want is to turn this planet into a prison camp, into a worldwide religious police state like Saudi Arabia is today. And that’s not a fantasy; it’s a reality where women are treated as property, minorities abused and victimised, where execution or mutilation await anyone who steps out of line, where there’s no other religion allowed, and where there’s no beer! – and just on its own that would be enough for me, quite frankly.

And if we carry on as we have been in the West, staying silent about this, either through fear or through misplaced cultural sensitivity, if we keep letting ourselves be bullied and pushed around by radical Islam and its fellow-travelling multiculturalist pimps, then little by little, resolution by phoney bullshit resolution, our freedom will be eaten away until it’s no longer recognisable as freedom at all. At which point you may wake up and look around wondering: “What the hell happened there?” as some bearded ignoramus hands you a one-way ticket back to the seventh century. Enjoy.

Peace, and happy days.

Welcome to Sa
udi Britain

September 30, 2008

Hi everyone. You may remember that a couple of weeks ago it was revealed that sharia courts are now operating here in Britain with the full backing of the law, even though they discriminate against women as a matter of course. And what this means is that those women who are intimidated into using these courts (as some of them will be, and everyone knows it), they will now find that they have the full weight of the British legal system lined up against them alongside the patriarchal bigotry in their own communities.

Those women who are cheated out of their just entitlement in these places, as some already have been, will find that they have no recourse to the real law to put things right.

In other words, we are now accommodating Saudi Arabian legal principles here in Britain, just as we accommodate their corrupt business practices and their threats against our national security when we try to investigate them.

If live in Britain and if you think these courts are a bad idea, please sign the petition to which I’ve linked, asking that they be abolished and that this poison be removed from our society, and that we revert to the rule of civilised law with equal rights for all, if that’s not too much trouble.

Over the last eleven years of this Labour government we’ve had in Britain, the British people have seen their society subjected to social engineering on a massive scale by a misguided and arrogant liberal elite who, in their eagerness to fragment the fabric of our society, have actually succeeded in giving civilised values a bad name.

Tolerance and diversity are good things on paper. I’m sure we’d all vote for tolerance and diversity. But in practice they’ve become a nightmare of doublethink and lies, where the most unreasonable people in society are encouraged at every turn to be even more unreasonable.

A case in point, just this week some idiot from Saudi Arabia is being allowed to sue a supermarket because he was required to handle alcohol as part of his job, despite being told this when he took the job. And despite the fact that thousands of Muslims in Britain handle alcohol every day when they sell it in their corner shops to people like me.

I do find it quite ironic that Islam forbids intoxication when you consider how many Muslims are seemingly so intoxicated by their religion, especially in Saudi Arabia. So it was no surprise to me to hear that this idiot was from Saudi Arabia, because I think we all know that entire country is mentally ill.

The Saudis would have us believe that theirs is the purest form of Islam. Well, I don’t know about that, but it’s certainly the nuttiest form. It’s barking mad, if you’ll pardon the canine metaphor. And it’s pig-ignorant, even if you won’t.

It’s got to be just about the nastiest belief system on this faith-obsessed planet. And it’s a cowardly one as well, enforced by cowardly men who are afraid of women, and whose only language is ultimately violence. They’re absolutely pathetic, and history is already laughing at them.

If the term “human rights” means anything in this world, then one day the Saudis will pay out as much in compensation for their abuse of women as the Catholic Church has for its abuse of children. And I’ll certainly drink to that.

I was out earlier today, coincidentally, buying some beer. Not because I enjoy beer particularly, but because I know it offends Islam. Although it didn’t seem to bother the Muslim shopkeeper I bought it from. Maybe he was just being polite.

Anyway, as I was leaving the shop with my beer, two women happened to walk past wearing burkas. Nothing too unusual about that, not any more, not in London anyway, and nobody really paid it much attention, apart from one small child who I overheard describing them to her mother as letterbox ladies, which I thought was actually quite inventive and rather charming.

But of course it was also deeply offensive, so we had the child put to death.

No, not really. But it was lucky that neither of the women actually heard the offensive and insulting remark, because obviously each of them had her head encased in a cloth sack, so that was good, because it meant that the police didn’t have to be called, no human rights people needed to get involved, and nobody required any financial compensation for hurt feelings, which I thought made a very pleasant change indeed.

And, of course, as a result, we didn’t have to listen to any propaganda soundbites from some Islamist Saudi shill at the Muslim Council of Britain.

So all in all it worked out for the best. And it just goes to show that these things don’t always have to end in tears.

Peace, especially to everyone who remembers to sign the petition.

Stop Sharia Law i
n Britain

October 6, 2008

Well, first of all I want to thank everyone who helped get my last video reinstated on YouTube. I’m very grateful to everyone for their support on that. I want to thank YouTube as well, obviously, for reinstating it, but most of all I want to thank all those people who flagged the video in the first place, for giving us all a bit of fun, and for taking a dump in their own oatmeal, because it’s thanks to those people that that video is now all over the internet and all over YouTube like a rash, which just goes to show what can be achieved when we all work together. Thanks guys.

I was told that it was removed because it violated YouTube’s guidelines on hate speech, in particular where I referred to the entire country of Saudi Arabia as mentally ill. So let me just clarify that point now to avoid any future confusion.

It’s my belief that the laws which govern the country of Saudi Arabia are insane and wicked laws, and that the people who enforce them are seriously mentally ill.

Of course there are people in Saudi Arabia who disagree with those laws and who would rather things were different in that country, and I wouldn’t mind betting that the majority of those people are female.

However, they still have to live in a society which is governed with an iron rod by superstitious barbarians and policed by violent fanatics. In other words, a society which is, in fact, mentally ill.

And, as if to illustrate the black hole of sexual repression that is Saudi Arabia, just this week a senior Saudi cleric, an Islamic “scholar”, if you’ll pardon the expression, has said that women who wear the burka should show only one eye, not two, because showing two eyes could make a woman seductive, and tempt some unfortunate man into raping her through no fault of his own.

And it’s this kind of attitude that governs Saudi Arabia, and convinces me that Saudi Arabia’s influence on this planet is a thoroughly cancerous one, and the worst advertisement for any religion that it would be possible to imagine.

Even Scientology looks good next to the Wahhabi doctrine, a twisted malignant mutation of Islam, which is as vile and as inhuman an ideology as Nazism.

And that’s really all I was trying to say.

I also believe that the sharia courts which have beestablished here in Britain, and which reflect the mentally ill laws of Saudi Arabia, are the thin end of an ever thickening wedge of Islamic medievalism that’s being hammered up our fundament by the Saudis with the connivance of our own government.

Our prime minister wants London to be the sharia banking capital of Europe. I’m not sure why. Maybe he’s got a side bet with the Dutch and the Swedish governments to see who can completely Islamicise their societies first. Either way, they say money talks, and right now in Britain it’s talking Arabic.

But I guess that’s what happens, isn’t it, when the most backward society on the planet happens to be one of the wealthiest. They can simply bribe their values into places where they don’t belong, and where they wouldn’t be tolerated for a second if not for their money.

Saudi money is responsible, not just for forcing the British government to cravenly break its own laws, not just for the various pressure groups of Islamist fanatics who claim to speak for all Muslims in Britain, but also for the hundreds of mosques that have been established here in recent years, including the one in London that was exposed recently on television for allowing hate speech to be preached in its purest form – specifically that Muslims should hate anyone who isn’t a Muslim, and that apostates and homosexuals should be killed. They couldn’t quite make up their minds whether these people should be thrown from the top of a mountain or stoned to death, or both, leaving another tricky theological poser for the “scholars”.

But allowing these courts into Britain is not just pandering to Saudi money, is it? It’s also a cynical, and I think quite typical vote-whoring tactic by the Labour Party, of which I’m ashamed to admit I used to be a card-carrying member. Now I wouldn’t vote Labour again at gunpoint, because like many people, over the last eleven years I’ve realised that a vote for Labour is a vote for Islam.

And although I like and admire certain individual Muslims as people, I’ve seen enough of Islam to know that I don’t want it anywhere near me. And I don’t want any of its values enshrined in the laws of the country I live in. I want to see Islam relegated to its rightful place in society as a non-influential non-intrusive spiritual belief system. And that’s really what this petition was all about. It did quite well in the short time we managed to publicise it, but now it’s closed. However, there is a new petition which runs until the end of the year, which should give everyone the chance to spread it around far and wide.*

If people know about this they will sign it, because you know that all your friends are just as sick as you are of having Islam rammed down their throats and being called racists if they complain about it. So maybe this time we can get enough signatures to make this genuinely newsworthy and give this disgraceful government the kick in the crotch it’s been asking for.

Oh, and if the people who flagged the last video could do me a huge favour and flag this one as well, I’d be most grateful. Thanks again for all your help. Peace.
