The Muslim campaign of violence against free speech in Europe, which began with the Danish cartoon riots, intensified recently with the firebombing of the home of a British publisher. His offense? He was planning to publish "The Jewel of Medina," a novel about one of Mohammed's wives. The fanatics who destroyed his house were not angry at the content of the book; it had not been published yet, and no one but the author and publisher knew what it was about. News reports since suggest that it is a historical romance which contains nothing critical of Islam or Mohammed. The author seems puzzled by the furor, which demonstrates her ignorance of present day Islam. Whether she knows anything about Arabia in the time of the founder of Islam is irrelevant. She and her book have been targeted by the fanatics because she is not Muslim. To them the founder of their religion is off-limits to infidels. We are not supposed to say anything about him, and Muslims can mention Mohammed only to praise him as the only totally perfect human being.
After the bombing, the usual suspects popped up on TV-- the supposedly moderate Muslim leaders who said what they always say: "I do not condone violence of course, but naturally I understand the terrible pain that pious Muslims feel when our religion is treated disrespectfully." The Muslims have got this one-two punch down to a perfect routine by now. First the violence, then the so-called moderates who always speak more in sorrow than in anger, who never condone violence, but always understand it. When police use this trick, it is called the good cop/bad cop routine and the dumbest crooks figured it out a long time ago. Unfortunately the progressive intellectuals of Europe are still falling for the bad Muslim/good Muslim charade. The Muslims know that they have found a winning strategy and they're going to keep using it. In reality, moderate Muslims do not understand the thugs who commit violence in the name of Allah. They consider them evil or insane, but they are afraid to say that on TV or in print, because they don't want their own homes to be firebombed. They have been frightened into silence, just as the media in Europe as a whole have been frightened into self-censorship. The newspapers, and even more so the TV networks, have been scared off the entire subject of Islam. No one wants to be the spark that sets off the next wave of riots, and since the Muslims are so unpredictably touchy about their religion, Islam is considered to be too dangerous to write about. Silence is said to be more 'respectful' and the fanatics thereby win their battle against free speech. They win, but only because no one wants to be singled out as their enemy. That small newspaper in Denmark was vastly outnumbered when the fanatics whipped the whole Muslim world into a frenzy, and that editor discovered that very few of his colleagues jumped to his defense. But, we don't have to play this game on the fanatics' terms. They can't pick us off one by one if we don't fight them one by one. When Benjamin Franklin signed the United States Declaration of Independence, he said to the other rebels who had also signed it, "Well, gentlemen, now we will have to hang together, or we will surely hang separately." I think now is the time for all the news media of the free world to hang together to fight the Muslim attack on free speech. I'm saying we've got to stop giving them one target at a time. I propose that four days per year be designated as "International Say Anything About Islam Days." On those days every newspaper, TV station, website and blog should carry information and comment on Islam. I'm not suggesting that they should criticize or attack Islam. I'm saying that they should use their God-given freedom to say anything they want to say about Islam. Some commentators will criticize, others will praise, some will delve into dry history. The fanatics will be furious about a great deal of it, at least in the beginning, but they will be outnumbered and they will have no single target for retaliation, as long as everyone who believes in free speech takes part. The four days that suggest themselves to me are the two equinoxes and the two solstices: March 21, June 21, September 21, and December 21. They are all three months apart and they have the same non-ideological, non-religious meaning all over the planet. The equinoxes especially are a perfect symbol of equality. On those two days, in March and September, every spot on earth has twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of darkness. To me this symbolizes all that we should be willing to grant to Islam: equality, and no more. Muslims want the right to criticize other religions, but they want their own religion to get a free pass. Christians, Jews and Hindus long ago recognized the right of others to comment freely on their respective religions. I can say that I don't believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and there are no Christians anywhere on earth who will want to kill me. But if I say that I don't believe Mohammed was a prophet of God, there are plenty of Muslims who will want to kill me. They want the freedom to say that Jews are the descendants of pigs and monkeys. They want the freedom to say that Christianity today is debased from the time of Jesus and therefore not worthy of respect, but they don't want anyone to say that Islam is a fake religion on the same level as Scientology. They are trying to get laws passed in Europe that would make it a crime to show disrespect to a religion. I think Islam should get the same protection that all other religions get: none. A religion will be respected if it’s followers lead respectable lives. I also believe that respect must be voluntary. It cannot be demanded under threat of violence. This is something that far too many Muslims do not understand—the difference between respect and fear. They will learn the difference only if their threats fail. I think that International Say Anything About Islam Days could begin an educational process for Muslims. Since the four days will come on the same dates every year, those Muslims who do not want to read or hear anything controversial about their religion can simply avoid Western media on those days. However, there are moderate Muslims. At present they are marginalized in their own communities by fear. They might look forward to four days per year when they could learn things that their own mullahs and imams would never tell them. Say Anything About Islam Days is not the program of any group or government. It's my own wild idea and I will resist seeing it formalized, regularized or bureaucratized in any way. It will only flourish if it fills a real need. Participation is voluntary. However, for those writers, editors, commentators and bloggers who don't want to get involved, I suggest that you enjoy your freedom while you still have it. When the Islamic Dome of Silence descends over your country, you will not have the right to say anything about Mohammed. You will only be allowed to say how much you love him. If you think this idea has potential, share it, forward it, copy it, translate it and submit it everywhere you can. Edmund Pickett edmundpickett.comNot Copyrighted

hi everyone I am new to this
hi everyone
I am new to this site and I am happy to inject some opinions from an Austrian (tiny little country in the middle of Europe) point of view.
By the look of things Islam is doomed to fail for very similar reasons which brought the downfall of Catholicism in Europe.
Religions are either totalitarian (which delivers an abundance of followers) or it is insignificant (roll your own religion - Mormons for instance, Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster, etc, etc, etc)
Historical aside: 30 Year War crushed Europe (including Catholicism) and depending on region between 25% and 60% of its populace...
So what where Europeans fighting for in the 17th century ??? Propably for the God Delusion,
#11 No.
#11 No.
#12 Not as tiny as the
#12 Not as tiny as the kingdom of Count Vlad Dracula who defeated Islam in the 14 th century. Dracula made a deal with the Catholic Church to keep the Muslims from coming. Dracula drank muslim blood and disappeared!
Count Dracula, is a mythical
Count Dracula, is a mythical creature who is the by product of a fiction writer. He did not exist in reality. Raisin Head please, sometimes you say that Kim Jong follows Alalh and Islam and sometimes you say that Dracula was for real.
How is anybody supposed to take you seriously?
Kim Jong is a Communist, yes he support other Islamic rogue nations. However that does not mean that he is a Muslim himself.
Truth89 Says: @proudkafir: So
Truth89 Says:
@proudkafir: So now you’re a rapist.
No he is a Muslim now, and a very true Muslim indeed
We, followers of other faiths
We, followers of other faiths than Islam, or of no faith, but being for great diversity and freedom for diversity, also (can) use good cop/ bad cop-tactics, and quite openly too.
When protesters against domineering, unjust practices of Muslims worldwide, like us, would protest only friendly, kindly, they would be dismissed by 99 % of the Muslims, 99 % of the time. Muslims would pay no attention, keeping busy with their everyday worries. The criticism would not be an issue, get nowhere, the Islamic takeover would go on apace. Or so I think I noticed before 9/11.
But when eloquent critics of Islam use shocking words, then, and only then, are Muslims aroused, becoming interested. The challenges by the critics are then being refuted in also shocking words. But now the good cops of democracy CAN make progress, because they can contrast themselves with the previously unavailable bad cops, the ones using shocking words.
That they resort to that, or get popular for that is in part the fault of part of the Muslims. Them remaining intransigent, refusing to discuss Islam initially in a friendly, kindly way. At the least bit of opposition already backing away, calling it disrespectful.
There is thus good reason for Islam-critics like here in FFI to be very blunt. So maybe we in Holland do not all agree with Geert Wilders in all he is saying, but we need him enormously, especially now he is getting so popular. Because now our broad-minded good cops can make progress with broad-minded Muslims.
Also, shocked Muslims and Muslima's, now "wide awake" to the issue, can examine and question their beliefs, which were previously unchallenged, as challenging them was taboo. They now can compare them with the many other beliefs that exist and maybe combine them with each other, getting more broad-minded, wiser.
Ahem , that makes the
Ahem , that makes the mohammad maha loud ah a rapist as well.He had right hand possessions.Having right hand possesions means what mohammad said.If that makes a pervert and sicko, so was your maha loud ah mohammad. See the double standard of the scum bag msoelms.I wish to have muslimahs as my right hand possessions and I see nothing wrong as it was commanded to me by my lord Halla and his randi book Randi Q allows me to use them for what ever reasons I want.

If you have some kind of proof to show the Dracula existed, then kindly present it. I would be glad to read it too!

Dear Ibrahim
Its really funny to see muslims who are full of hate commenting. In their rage by calling PK a rapist, psycho they admit these qualities in their prophet. If their prophet does those despicable acts he still remains the most pious person, if a kafir does those acts, its rape, demantia, etc...
The icing on the cake is when they comment upon the size of PK's instrument. These guys should read about logical fallacies, well even if they read it, would they understand?

#19 It is a fact that Count Vlad Dracula did exist. The story was built on his real life. He defeated Turkish Muslims in the 14 century. Read Ibrahim and you will see how stoker made his story. I was not there and I only read history as you do. Look it up under Vlad Dracula which mean DEVIL. He was evil and really did drink blood of people. I have much in my library about Dracula, both the vampire and the real man. It is took much to write here unless I write about it under Islam vs Count Dracula.aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Look up Vlad the impaler or
Look up Vlad the impaler or Vlad Tepes, he was a Romanian King.
Dear muslim scumbags Your
Dear muslim scumbags
Your prophet mohammad maha loud ah ordered to use the right hand possessions every and any which way you feel like.If he was not a rapist, psycho, pervert and he did not have his little floppy dik in his right hand, then I also being a true follwoer of the rapist pedophile, can have muslimahs. I enjoy them with both the hands etc and why only right hand.Its time you scum bags realised what a scum bag prophet was.
The difference between pk and
The difference between pk and mohammad is allah's permission. So pk, ask allah first if you want to have right hand possesions. Don't forget to ask permission for marrying a child too.
Hey guys and gals why do you
Hey guys and gals why do you assume that I have no permission from allah dalal? I got the allah to speak to me while i was crapping in the loo and I took some time.Allah was kind enough to give me company in the loo and spoke to me the following verses.Much against my will I have to reveal them to you all, though I may not practice all of them!.
Allah revealed to me that its ok for me to lay my hands on the muslimahs as many as I like.
I can thigh a baby, though I must admit that this revealation of the allah repulsed me and found it revolting. I am sorry many moslem scum bags find it exciting
Allah also revealed to me, any muslimah who has not suckled me is a game for me, though My feeling was suckling a muslimah I do not know is also a game.Well then who can argue with allah the scum bag
These are all really allah's revealation and you can ask allah if you dont believe me! Sounds familiar eh?
Allah also said it's ok if the muslimahs are played around with while they are impure!
I shall reveal some more allah's orders to me soon.
Hey Demsci I was in Amsterdam
Hey Demsci
I was in Amsterdam last week and quite enjoyed my stay after a gap of 4 years.I quite liked the jogging along the canal and the beer on boat ride. I found the dutch to be too relaxed to even contemplate and understand the dangers of the evil islam
Cheers.
Hey ProudKafir, I am
Hey ProudKafir,
I am delighted to hear from you, great that you were in Amsterdam, just before the Russian President Medvedev, I suppose. Important to keep in mind is that I live in Rotterdam though. I am proud of Holland and glad you must like it, because you came twice. (I also think you must be a reasonably prosperous guy, you were also in America).
About the Dutch, yeah, what are we to think of them? Largely disinterested, much ignorant because of that. Reacting to Geert Wilders as if he is the danger, often advocating to leave the "poor" Muslims here and the Islamic regimes abroad totally alone.
But now a book by a reverend, Koekkoek, is out, with in it the same demographic warning as on "Muslim Demographics". I already pointed that site out to my family and friends, colleagues, it has now been read by 9 million people. The current rapid rise of Muslims in their percentage of population in European + other countries of Dar-ul-Harb and in the countries of Dar-ul-Islam, combined with stated intentions of some of the Islamic clerical leaders and ordinary Muslims, and combined with common practice in # 57 Islamic countries should wake up even a lot of Dutch! Geert Wilders may even get a shot at becoming prime-minister!
PK, you and I differ in our approach to Muslims. I sometimes shiver, when you speak. But while I am not always in total agreement with you, I sense you mean well, and are a valuable ally, in the form of a "bad cop". I sense we have the same ultimate goal, of freedom, democracy, bringing out the best of individuals through, and hence an ever more prosperous, flourishing society.

Because of Allah Guidance he is talking like this. He would not believe in burning in hellfire untill he reach there as he seems to be a practical guy who don't take any ****.
All I can say is May GOD guide him instead of Allah.
Where am I lost? I am
Where am I lost? I am following the true path of the rapist pedophile mohammad and his pimp allah. Do what you like to muslimahs is exactly what the rapist prophet said.Do what you like to kafirs.and their women and children.
I am follwoing the prophet the most pious rapist.No human being has had sew with the women whose husbands he has just killed.Except prophet ofcourse.
If you think I am lost, that only means you are a truly deluded idiot.
Let us celebrate kill the islam day.Enjoy muslimah's day. Stone the moslems day.
I was in Rotterdam and in Hague for a day only What I like most about dutch is that they are most relaxed people on earth and I like their habit of starting work on Mondays at 11 00 am in the morning, this certainly reduces the stress level.
If allah were to guide me I would have been a rapist pedophile.Thankfully allah brings his revealations only when I am in the toilet.I can flush allah and his thoughts in the toilet.
If Muslims have the right to
If Muslims have the right to kill others, then why cant others have the right to kill Muslims. FAIR IS FAIR. sURA 3:54 says allah is the DEVIL, a spirit which god forbaDE him from killing men but he made men kill other men. Job is the key to this. Satan had Arabs kill Job's servants and stole his cattle. Satan was not able to kill man but he had man kill other men. This is why the Quran said Allah used men to kill for him. Satan knew he had no power to kill but he made stupid men do the killing for him and create confusion as the Bible said.
Now Muslim prisoners want to eat and pray separately from infidels. Is a muslim killer better than an infidel killer or thief or a pedophile. Oh yes, allah said they aRE. Muslims are free to kill, steal or sex a baby and allah is pleased. Any muslim is free to deny this. Muslims need to pay for their food and not infidel taxes. Muslims prisoners need to pay for room and board and pay the infidels back who they robbed and killed.
Islam needs to be banned and sued and Muslims need to go home and stay there. Muslims can no longer blame the JEWS because we all see who are the real bad ones--Muslims. Thanks for the infidel creation of the internet, phone, phone, graphs etc. Muslims cannot fight back against twitter and etc.
Pakistan hates Hindus and Christians and Jews, yet they claim we love Jews and Christians. lol It is written so they cannot lie, but they do.
