Freedom of Religion: Only for Muslims

My email subscription to UNHRC documents turned up an interesting letter from the representative of Cyprus. I keep telling you hat freedom of religion is a one way street, few pay any attention.  

    Turkey is interfering with Greek Orthodox services in occupied Cyprus. As I keep telling you, if you ain't Muslim, you have no rights. Perhaps this will give you a clue.  Turkey is violating the rights of Christians in occupied Cyprus, interfering with church services, arbitrarily and with outrageous regulations.

Upon instructions from my Government, I would like to bring to your attention a
grave human rights violation that occurred on 25 December 2010 in the Orthodox church of
Saint Synesios, in the town of Rizokarpaso located in the part of Cyprus under the military
occupation of Turkey. This issue is directly related to the mandate in accordance with
which the yearly reports on the question of human rights in Cyprus are prepared, as
provided for in Commission on Human Rights resolution 4 (XXXI) and General Assembly
resolution 3450 (XXX).
As confirmed by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), on
25 December 2010, security forces of the subordinate local administration of Turkey
interrupted an ongoing religious service, forced the priest to remove his liturgical vestments
and to terminate the liturgy, ordered the churchgoers, mainly Greek Cypriot enclaved
persons, to evacuate, then sealed the church on the pretext that no “permission for the
conduct of mass” had been obtained. At the same time, the occupation regime did not allow
for a Christmas mass to be held in the Church of the Holy Trinity (Ayia Triada) in the
nearby town of Yialoussa. Subsequently, the occupation regime informed UNFICYP that a
new “procedure” had been established, whereby prior authorization should be sought 30
days in advance for all scheduled religious services, except those celebrated on Sundays.
These acts contravene the third Vienna agreement of 2 August 1975, which, inter
alia, explicitly provides that the Greek Cypriots who remained enclaved behind the military
lines in their villages in the north-eastern Karpass peninsula in the aftermath of the Turkish
invasion would be “free to stay” and that they would “be given every help to lead a normal
life, including facilities for education and for the practice of their religion, as well as
medical care by their own doctors and freedom of movement”. Even more serious, these
acts constitute a clear violation of international and European human rights law, including
article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 3 and 9 of the
European Convention on Human Rights.

    Lets review the fatal facts:

• Muslims are commanded to wage war against us.
• Our blood is not sacred to Muslims.
• Our property is not sacred to Muslims.
• We have no rights until we become Muslims.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

    We know blessed well that the Human Rights Council will not do anything to remedy this situation, which will continue to be ignored. They are occupied with more important matters such as condemning Israel for defending itself. 

Defamation of Religions 2010

The General Assembly vote on the Defamation of Religions resolution [Word Document] was not unexpected, nor was the slight decline in support for the resolution.

    The resolution has no enforcement mechanism, it is an exhortation, not law.  Unfortunately, it affords undeserved legitimacy to national blasphemy laws which are used to persecute minorities in Islamic dictatorships.

    To make matters worse, there is a parallel process whose outcome will be a binding protocol to ICERD which will be legally enforcible. The information I have gathered is reported in these blog posts:

• Ad Hoc Cmte: They aim to add a protocol to ICERD to criminalize these blog posts. 
• Ad Hoc Cmte: Pakistan's Submission  
• U.S.A.'s Submission
• African Submission  
• The Ad Hoc Cmte. Non-Paper Paper; crucial to comprehending the other documents!  
• Letter from OIC to Ad Hoc Cmte; This is about the drive to criminalize criticism of Islam.
  
• Our freedom of expression is almost safe until their next session. 
• Competing Nigerian & American drafts in pursuit of a binding protocol to ICERD for the purpose of outlawing these blog posts..

    Human rights belong to humans, not to institutions.  There is no human right to be shielded from criticism of evil actions or intentions which are propagated in the name of religion.

    Shari'ah, particularly Reliance of the Traveller, Book O, Chapter 8,  which lists 20 'acts' which 'entail apostasy'. In short, any negative statement about Islam, Moe, Allah or the Qur'an is punishable by execution [o8.1-8.2]. For the law's applicability to non-Muslims, see o11.10 & o9.14.

    While I vociferously object to the entire resolution & its antecedents included by reference, there is one provision which stands alone as a perfect reason to reject the entire concept of "defamation of Islam".

7. Expresses deep concern, in this respect, that Islam is frequently and

wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism;

wrongly associated with terrorism

    I have frequently quoted the relevant ayat & ahadith in numerous posts. I will link them here, and let those who are unfamiliar with them follow the links while the rest of us advance to the Sira.

• 33:26
• Sahih Bukhari1.7.331
• Sahih Bukhari4.52.220

    Allah said that he would "cast terror" but "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism;" Allah said that he cast terror, resulting in death, captivity, dispossession & destruction, but "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism;".

    Moe said that he was made "victorious with terror" but "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism;" For those who don't have a clue yet, I provide quotes from the oldest extant biography of Islam's Profit: Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah.

    These quotes come from devoted followers, not from enemies.

Ishaq:322 "Allah said concerning the pebbles thrown by the Apostle, 'I threw them not you. Your
tossing them would have had no effect without My help. But working together, We
terrorized the enemy and put them to flight."

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• "We terrorized the enemy and put them to flight"

Which one do you believe?

Ishaq:395 "Muslims, if you listen to the unbelievers you will retreat from the enemy and become losers. Ask Allah
for victory and do not retreat, withdrawing from His religion. 'We will terrorize those who disbelieve. In
that way I will help you against them.'"

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• "We will terrorize those who disbelieve."

Which one do you believe?

Ishaq:368
"We carried Ka'b's head and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We
saluted him as he stood praying and told him that we had slain Allah's enemy.
When he came out to us we cast Ashraf's head before his feet. The Prophet
praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the
good work we had done in Allah's Cause. Our attack upon Allah's enemy cast
terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for
his life.'"

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• "Our attack upon Allah's enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.'"

Which one do you believe?

Ishaq:437 "So Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews. Then the Prophet said, 'The
Jews have declared war.'"

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• "So Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews"

Which one do you believe?

Ishaq:468 "Allah brought down the People of the Scripture Book. I forced the Qurayza
from their homes and cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some
you took captive. You killed their men and enslaved their women and
children. And I caused you to inherit their land, their dwellings, and their
property. Allah can do all things.'"

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• "cast terror into their hearts"

Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned.
Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies."

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• " Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies"

Which one do you believe?

Ishaq:326 "Allah said, 'No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.'
Muhammad said, 'I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean. I was
given the most powerful words. Booty was made lawful for me. I was given the power to intercede. These
five privileges were awarded to no prophet before me.'"

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• " I was made victorious with terror"

Which one do you believe?

    Take a closer look at that quote from page 326. Moe was given five privileges by Allah, privileges not given to any Prophet. These are privileges given by Allah to his final messenger, the founder of Islam:

• taking booty
  • ransoming prisoners
• victory with terror
• entire earth is his prayer ground
• most powerful words
• booty made lawful
• power to intercede

Winning with terror is a special privilege from Allah. Got a clue yet?  If this blasphemy does not cause you to curse, go out and hang yourself, you are a waste of life.

Ishaq 523 When the apostle had finished with Khaybar, God struck terror to the
hearts of the men of Fadak when they heard what the apostle had done to
the men of Khaybar.

• " God struck terror to the hearts of the men of Fadak..."

Ishaq 461

According to what al-Zuhri told me, at the time of the noon prayers

Gabriel came to the apostle wearing an embroidered turban and riding on a mule with a saddle covered with a piece of brocade. He asked the apostle if he had abandoned fighting, and when he said that he had he said that the angels had not yet laid aside their arms and that he had just come from pursuing the enemy. 'God commands you, Muhammad, to go to B.   Qurayza. I am about to go to them to shake their stronghold.'...

The apostle passed by a number of his companions in al-Saurayn before he got to B. Qurayza and asked if anyone had passed them. They replied that Dihya b. Khalifa al-Kalbi had passed upon a white mule with a saddle covered with a piece of brocade. He said, That was Gabriel who has been sent to B. Qurayza to shake their castles and strike terror to their hearts.'

 

• "Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism"
• " ...to shake their castles and strike terror to their hearts.'"

Which one do you believe?

    How is Islam associated with terrorism?  Who made that association??  What is wrong with it???  Do people have a right to live unmolested, without invasion, conquest & enslavement or not?  Does Islam violate that right? 

    The entire premise of the resolution combating defamation of religions is a lie.  Human Rights First reveals the vote: 79,67,40.  How in Hell could 79 nations vote in favor of that travesty of justice and 40 abstain from voting against it?  There are 57 Islamic nations, 62 are either deceived, intimidated or sucking Islam's oil & money teats.

    Lovers of life, liberty & justice are in the minority. The aggressors and their allies rule the UN. We are out voted. These annual resolutions will continue to pass in the HRC & GA every year, and the protocol to ICERD will eventually be written, voted on and ratified unless we rise up and raise Hell.

    We have only one recourse: to counter attack by exposing Islamic doctrines & practices to the eyes of the world.  We must make the campaign to impose Shari'ah too painful to pursue.

    Three international human rights covenants contain provisions which require that Islam be proscribed by law. Nobody will enforce them.  Our task is to disrespectfully demand enforcement of those provisions.  The evidence is outlined in the International Qur'an Petition.  What other defense do we have? Please read, sign, share and promote the petition. Make it go viral! The link is to a blog post which contains links to covenants and the evidence of Islam's violations.  You can copy it, send it by email and cross post it.   If not us, who?  If not now, when?  If you want your grandchildren to live securely in freedom and prosperity, you must take action now.

Ground Zero Declaration Challenges Muslims

The Ground Zero Declaration came to my attention through a Google Alert that led to a post by Ali Sina at Faith Freedom.org.     The brainchild of Billy Rojas and Centroids, the declaration  begins by affirming the Declaration of Independence & Bill of Rights.

    After the affirmation, it lists four prticular items: freedom of religion, equal protection, human dignity and peaceful assembly & free speech.

    In that fourth item, it specifies freedom to criticize religions, which will stick in Islam's eye like a sharp grain of sand.  

    The next section carries an interesting heading: "The Problem With Cordoba House".  The concluding sentence of that section is particularly interesting.  "Allowing Muslims to build an Islamic center so near the scene of Islam-inspired death implies that neither we nor they have truly learned the painful lessons of 9/11."

    The next section, "What We Want", leads off with a most direct sentence.  "If Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is serious about promoting a new Reformed Islam that divorces itself completely from the ideology that brought down the World Trade Center, we ask him and his colleagues to officially:"

There follows an enumerated list of three things no Muslim can do  without incurring the penalty of apostasy and a demand that the Ground Zero Mosque project be postponed, reconfigured or relocated.

    The concluding sentence has more clarity than I can expect from centrists; this has real merit.  "We do not believe a commitment to freedom means giving our enemies the freedom to destroy us."

    That last sentence is the clincher for me.  I hope it will be for you, too.  Lets make this happen!

Islam vs. Kuffar: Adv. War

Barenaked Islam posted an article about a campaign to counter  SOIA's  Refuge From Islam bus advertisements.  BNI linked to Atlas Shrugs, where large, clear photos of the bus advertisements are displayed.

    Geller also posted a video of a joint interview with Dr. Waseem Sayed, an Ahmadiyya leader. The video is not pleasant viewing.  The interviewer is shrill and frequently interrupts Pamela, not allowing her to finish her answers.  Dr. Sayed got away with making  gross misstatements of material fact, unchallenged.

Muslimsforpeace.org claims:

• love for all
• hatred for none

    A visit to http://www.muslimsforpeace.org/  discloses the fact that the outfit is part of  Ahmadiyya, a heretical sect.  On that site, they make more malignant claims.

• Islam is peace
• we condemn terrorism
• Jihad: self defense only
• separation of church and state
• universal human rights

    Regular Muslims pronounced takfir on Ahmadiyya, because its founder claimed to be the Mahdi.  The sect is a persecuted minority in Asia.

    Love for all they say; what does Allah say? Who does Allah love?

• Al-Muhsinûn those who do good, defined as participating in and financing jihad.  2:195  
• Al-Muttaqûn the pious who fulfill their contracts 3:76
• As-Sâbirin the patient ones who fight without weakening and degrading themselves  3:146
• those who put their trust in him 3:160
• Allah cursed the Jews but loves the  Al­Muhsinûn 5:12-13 
• those who are equitable among the believers 49:9
• those who fight in His Cause in rows (ranks) as if they were a solid structure  61:4

Allah only loves Muslims.

    Hatred for none, they say; what did Moe say?

• "None loves the Ansar but a believer, and none hates them but a hypocrite. So Allah will love him who loves them, and He will hate him who hates them." Sahih Bukhari 5.58.127
• Allah , the Exalted, hates the eloquent one among men who moves his tongue round (among his teeth), as cattle do. Sunan Abu Dawud 41.4987

    Islam is peace they say.  What did Allah say?

• "Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you" 2:216
• "The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." Sahih Bukhari 4.52.625
• "to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it). 9:33
• "And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. " 8:39
• "And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy" 8:60
• "O Prophet (Muhammad)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve" 8:65
• "Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "  9:29

What did Moe say?

• "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us " Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387
• "jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist).  Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2523
• "When you enter into the inah transaction, hold the tails of oxen, are pleased with agriculture, and give up conducting jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion. " Sunan Abu Dawud  23.3455

Islam is peace: in a pig's anus.

    Islam says "we condemn terrorism".  What  does Allah say?

• "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve" 3:151
• "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." 8:12
• "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of God and your enemies" 8:60
• "Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives. " 33:26
• " But Allah's (Torment) reached them from a place whereof they expected it not, and He cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings with their own hands and the hands of the believers." 59:2

    What did Moe say?

• "Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. " Sahih Bukhari 1.7.331
• " have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)" Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220

Terrorism: Islamic sacrament

    Islam says Jihad is only for self-defense.  Allah and Moe said  it was offensive, on Islam's initiative, their "original religion".  What does Islamic law say?

• "Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion."  Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.0
• "In the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.  The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: o9.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking of when he says, "Jihad is a communal obligation," meaning upon the Muslims each year."  O9.1
• "The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."
• "The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax" O9.8
• "The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim" O9.9

Jihad is offensive

    Islam says that Mosque and state are separated. What did Allah say?

• "33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. " 33:36
  
  

Moe united spiritual & temporal power

    Islam says that it supports universal human rights.  What did Moe say?

• Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
  Narrated Anas bin Malik:
  Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have." 

Are our blood and property sacred to Muslims?  Do we have the same rights that Muslims have?  How do we obtain those rights?   If you can correctly answer those three crucial questions, then you have learned something; important knowledge which you must  share with others.  If you can not answer those questions, you need to read the hadith reproduced immediately above.  If that does not solve the problem, you need a remedial reading course.

    You now know that each and every one of the claims made by "Muslims for peace"  in their advertisement and on their web site is malignant malarkey.  Lets review:

Allah only loves Muslims.

Islam is perpetual war

Terrorism: Islamic sacrament

Jihad is offensive

Moe united spiritual & temporal power

Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims

We have no rights.

Freedom of Opinion and Expression

At their October 2, 2009 meeting, the miserably misnamed United Nations Human Rights Council under agenda item 3:

PROMOTION AND PROTECTION OF ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, CIVIL,
POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS,
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT

passed, without a vote, a draft resolution submitted jointly by Egypt and the United States, entitled: Freedom of opinion and expression.

If any resolution has ever been given a more Orwellian title, I am unaware of it. While superficially appearing to recognize and protect freedom of expression, in reality it threatens that freedom. Eye on the UN has made the resolution available in the form of an eight page pdf file: A/HRC/12/L.l4/Rev.

Since the file was made from a scanned image, FreeOCR.net was used to make text available for quoting, which compelled the complete reconstruction of the document's format. I have retained the original spelling. The resolution makes reference to two external documents:

• the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
• the report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression (A/I-IRC/11/4).

The pattern of deception begins in the preamble. [Emphasis added.]

Deeply concerned that violations of the right to freedom of opinion and expression continue to occur, including increased attacks directed against, and killings of, journalists and media workers, and stressing the need to ensure greater protection for all media professionals and for journalistic sources,

News agencies, human rights groups and decent people are concerned about assaults against and murder of journalists; the repressive regimes who perpetrate those evil acts are not, theirs are crocodile tears. Egypt has a record of jailing and torturing bloggers.

Stressing the need to ensure that the invocation of national security, including counter-terrorism, is not used unjustifiably or arbitrarily to restrict the right to freedom of opinion and expression,

That appears to be a reference to the Patriot Act. I am not aware of any offenses against freedom of expression being carried out under its provisions. Muslims love to unjustly accuse us of using national security as a cover for imaginary repression of Muslims.

Stressing also the importance of the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information, including the fundamental importance of access to information, democratic participation, accountability and combating corruption,

Stressing importance of freedom? No, stretching the truth past the shear point. The resolution is designed to impair our freedom to receive and impart information.

Recognizing the importance of all forms of the media, including the printed media, radio, television and the Internet, in the exercise, promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression,

That is boilerplate. Observe the following text lifted from The right to freedom of opinion and expression Human Rights Resolution 2005/38.

Recognizing the importance of all forms of the media, including the print media, radio, television and the Internet, in the exercise, promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression,

In point #9, they skim lightly over the truth, almost exposing it to view.

Recognizes the positive contribution that the exercise of the right to freedom of expression, particularly by the media, including through information and communication technologies such as the Internet, and full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information can make to the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and to preventing human rights abuses, but expresses regret at the promotion by certain media of false images and negative stereotypes of vulnerable individuals or groups of individuals, and at the use of information and communication technologies such as the Internet for purposes contrary to respect for human rights, in particular the perpetration of violence against and exploitation and abuse of women and children, and disseminating racist and xenophobic discourse or content;

Racism

The media can make a positive contribution to the fight against racism, ... related intolerance... Those are code words for 'Islamophobia'.
The following quote is from Preliminary document of the African Regional Conference Preparatory to the Durban Review Conference

Emphasizes the urgent need to address the scourges of anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, and Islamophobia as contemporary forms of racism as well as racial and violent movements based on racism and discriminatory ideas directed at African, Arab, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other communities;

'Islamophobia' is code for opposition to Islamic supremacism, triumphalism, conquest, genocide & terrorism. Phobia implies irrational fear or loathing. but there is nothing irrational about loathing a war cult that has murdered 270 million people in the last 1386 years.

Negative Stereotypes

Combating defamation of religions revised draft resolution

7. Expresses deep concern in this respect that Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism;

• O11.5 [Reliance of the Traveller]

  Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they:

  -1- are penalized for committing adultery or theft, thought not for drunkenness;

  -2- are distinguished from Muslims in dress, wearing a wide cloth belt (zunnar);

  -3- are not greeted with "as-Salamu 'alaykum";

  -4- must keep to the side of the street;

  -5- may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims' buildings, though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed;

  -6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

  -7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

  (For further information about Islam's human rights violations, download Islam vs Human Rights.)

Agreed Draft Resolution on the Elimination of all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief

13. Also emphasixes that no religion should be equated with terrorism, as this may have adverse consequences on the enjoyment of the right to freedom of religion or belief of all members of the religious communities concerned,

• We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve 3:151
• I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes 8:12
• So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severely in order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson. 8:57
• Make ready then against them what force ye can, and strong squadrons whereby ye may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy, 8:60
• I have been made victorious with terror Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220

Recalling that the exercise of the right to freedom of expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities, in accordance with article 19 (3) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,

Article 19

1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference.

2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.

3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary:

(a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;

(b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.

Telling the truth about Islam, as revealed by its own canon of scripture, tradition, exegeses & jurisprudence is not slander. It does not violate anyone's rights, and affects only the reputation of Islam. Public order is not disturbed by revealing Islam's pecadillos, it is disturbed by the Muslim's reaction to revelation of the truth: riots incited by rabble rousing Imams at Juma Prayer meetings.

Recalling also that States should encourage free, responsible and mutually respectful dialogue,

1. Reaffirms the rights contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, in particular the right of everyone to hold opinions without interference, as well as the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art or through any other media of their choice, and the intrinsically linked rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, peaceful assembly and association and the right to take part in the conduct of public affairs;
2. Takes note of the report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression (A/HRC/l 1/4), as well as his presentation and the interactive dialogue thereon at its eleventh session;

Following a meeting on 9 December 2008, as part of the Global Forum on World Media
Development (held 7-10 December 2008 in Athens), the Special Rapporteur, along with the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Representative on Freedom of the
Media, Miklos Haraszti, the Organization of American States (OAS) Special Rapporteur on
Freedom of Expression, Catalina Botero, and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’
Rights Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information, Faith Pansy
Tlakula, issued a joint declaration on defamation of religions, and anti-terrorism and
anti-extremism legislation. The declaration noted that the concept of “defamation of religions”
did not accord with international standards regarding defamation and that restrictions on freedom
of expression should be limited in scope to the protection of overriding individual rights and
social interests. Restrictions should never be used to protect particular institutions or abstract
notions, concepts or beliefs, including religious ones. The declaration further noted that
restrictions on freedom of expression to prevent intolerance should be limited in scope to
advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination,
hostility or violence and it encouraged the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council to
desist from further adoption of statements supporting the idea of defamation of religions.
[Pg. 8, #24]

The Special Rapporteur notes that freedom of expression is the manifestation of cultures,
cultural diversity, religion and ideologies. Therefore, the right to freedom of expression should
be approached with a positive view to defending it. Existing international instruments establish a
specific limit on freedom of expression. In particular, the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights provides that “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes
incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law”. The main
challenge thus lies in identifying at which point these thresholds are reached. A broad
interpretation of these limitations, which has recently been suggested in international forums, is
not in line with existing international instruments and would ultimately jeopardize the full
enjoyment of human rights. Limitations to the right to freedom of opinion and expression have
more often than not been used by States as a means to restrict criticism and silence dissent.
[Pg. 11, #39]

Limitations on freedom of expression should be clearly defined and provided by law.
Limitations should not threaten the exercise of the right itself. In addition, they ought to be
necessary and proportionate to the objective they propound to achieve, and should include the
least intrusive means insofar as freedom of expression is concerned, to prevent a chilling effect.
The adjudication of such limitations should be made by an independent judiciary. [Pg. 11, #40]

4. Also expresses its concern that incidents of racial and religious intolerance, discrimination and related violence, as well as of negative racial and religious stereotyping continue to rise around the world, and condemns, in this context, any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, and urges States to take effective measures, consistent with their obligations under international human rights law, to address and combat such incidents;

Advocacy of Religious Hatred

Sounds terrible, does it not? But the level of abstraction is excessive; lets bring it down to the concrete by displaying its meaning in the real world.

Reuters quotes U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about Fitna:

“There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence,” Ban said in a statement. “The right of free expression is not at stake here.”

The man chiefly responsible for enforcing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts that there is no right to tell the truth about Islam. [Emphasis added for clarity.] Fitna is not hate speech nor is it incitement; it accurately depicts Islamic hate speech and incitement.

The pending trial of Geert Wilders on charges of hate speech is a prime example of the violation of freedom of expression intended by the sponsors of this resolution.

#5 "Calls upon states",. among other things to:

h. To promote a pluralistic approach to information and multiple points of view by encouraging a diversity of ownership of media and of sources of information, including mass media, through, inter alia, transparent licensing systems and effective regulations on undue concentration of ownership of the media in the private sector;

That gem of bureaucracy is in line with Mark LLoyd's The Center for American Progress report, "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio" which discusses the "Imbalance" in talk radio programming. Their attitude holds talk radio to be unfairly dominated by Conservative talk show hosts; they seed ways and means of increasing the number and proportion of Socialist talk show hosts and broadcast hours.

Simply reinstating the Fairness Doctrine will do little to address the gap between conservative and progressive talk unless the underlying elements of the public trustee doctrine are enforced, in particular, the requirements of local accountability and the reasonable airing of important matters.

License renewal previously required local engagement with the community—the solicitation of local feedback on programming and accountable public reporting of this input so that the FCC could determine if the broadcaster was upholding its public interest responsibilities. Now licenses are renewed by “postcard,” a stamp in the corner of a scrap of paper now substitutes for all of the local interaction, very little of which is still required by law. Without these policies fostering local responsiveness, the move toward lowest common denominator syndicated programming was facilitated.

When you read that report, you will learn that shortening the renewal period, imposing local advisory boards and transferring ownership to minorities are intended to reduce the airing of criticism of President Obama's Socialist agenda.

Media Self Censorship

8. Recognizes the moral and social responsibilities of the media and the importance that the media's own elaboration of voluntary codes of professional ethical conduct can play in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;

The code words for 'Islamophobia' make another appearance. It is obvious that #8 is a demand for self censorship by the media.

Orwellian Doublespeak

10. Reaffirms the positive role that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression and the full respect for the freedom to seek, receive and impart information can play in strengthening democracy, combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in line with relevant provisions of international human rights law

Freedom of expression has a positive role in combating 'Islamophobia'. Yeah, right, we are free to praise Islam, but not to accurately describe and condemn it.

11. Recognizes that the open public debate of ideas, as well as interfaith and intercultural dialogue at the local, national, and international levels, can be among the best protections against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and can play a positive role in strengthening democracy and combating national, racial or religious hatred;

Open public debate of ideas is impossible when some ideas are proscribed by law or regulations. The authors of this resolution seek to outlaw all criticism of Islam, making it illegal to reveal the fact that Islam is a war cult, not a "religion of peace". They would outlaw revealing the foundational aspects of Jihad, genocide & terrorism. They would not allow us to discuss Islamic laws which oppress and discriminate against women and religious minorities. They would silence us when we write about the insidious encroachments of Shari'ah, lawfare & demographic conquest.

While seeking to infringe on free expression, they falsely assert that they are protecting it. President Bush made a show of being on the outside, condemning the UNHRC's attacks against free speech. President Obama has joined our attackers and is actively participating in an attempt to censor us.

Take Action!

The time for taking action has come. I urge my readers to visit the web site of a new movement to Impeach President Obama and join the movement. President Obama is obviously part of the problem, not part of the solution. This on line petition for Impeachment has 3,355 signatures add your signature to the list and urge everyone you can influence to endorse the petition.

The United Nations has been taken over by the enemy and is being used against us. There is no real possibility of reforming it. Now is the time to get out of that perverted institution. I urge you to sign, publicize and promote the Quit the U.N petition.

The evil doctrines of Islam including Jihad, genocide, terrorism and supremacism are static violations of ICCPR, ICERD & CPPCG.
The International Qur'an Petition contains sufficient evidence to substantiate that charge. It prays to the World Court for injunctive relief. Please endorse it, send it to your Congressman & Senators and to everyone in your email address book. The International Qur'an Petition is our best way to turn their own tactics against them. If not now when? If not us, Who? If we do not unite and apply great political pressure, we will loose our liberty forever. We must not let that happen!

According to an earlier email, which I am presently unable to find, a new organization has been formed: the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam, whose new web site will launch on the 3rd.

Evidently Robert Spencer did not delete the email; he published it at Jihad Watch. Read his post for a list of the featured participants and members of the coalition.

If you live near enough to N.Y.C., please consider joining the rally. You can find details at HCRI and JW linked above.

Regular readers of my postings will understand that I look at the title with a Calvin fish eye, because I disapprove of attaching qualifiers to the name of the enemy. Expressions such as "Radical Islam" falsely imply the existence of an anodyne standard Islam. In reality, Islam is defined by Moe's recitation and exemplified by his Sunnah, both of which are exposed and documented in What's Wrong With Islam/Muslims?, which exposes what Moe said and did documented by links to authentic sources. Let doubters and dissenters turn to it first.

There is no human right more fundamental than the right to live free from predation by our fellows. Islam denies that precious right. Consider what Moe said about the order he received to fight with men until they recite Shehada.

"I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Bukhar 1.8.387

Our blood and property are not sacred to Muslims; that says it all.

More UN AssWholliness

From UN Watch comes news of more AssWholliness:

Asma Jahangir, Chairperson of the coordinating body for independent United Nations human rights experts (known as "Special Procedures") issued the following statement today:

"The Coordination Committee of Special Procedures is deeply alarmed at the continuing violence in Gaza. We stress that international human rights law continues to apply and that it imposes binding obligations on all parties in situations of armed conflict.

We call on all parties to immediately cease all actions that result in civilian casualties, or put them at great risk. Both air strikes by Israeli Government forces and rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel are resulting in inexcusable loss of life and placing the civilian populations in the affected areas in extreme danger.

The use of disproportionate force by Israel and the lack of regard for the life of civilians on both sides cannot be justified by the actions of the other party. They constitute clear violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law.

We are particularly concerned at the impact of the current violence and destruction of vital infrastructure on the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. We call on all parties to immediately ensure full access to humanitarian actors and supplies and enable them to carry out their work of distributing food, treating the sick and injured, and guaranteeing the provision of essential energy and sanitation.

Independent human rights monitoring, including by the various UN Special Procedures, is particularly crucial in these circumstances which result in an exceptionally broad range of human rights violations."

• No human right trumps the right to live unmolested, free of attack & threat of attack. There is no right to genocide, pillage nor plunder. Islam attacked Israel in 638 and perpetrated many pogroms before Israel restored her sovereignty in 1948. Islam attacked again, mounting several major invasions and many acts of terrorism which continue to the present day. Only exterminating Islam can end the perpetual series of attacks. That is not advocacy of genocide, nor disproportionate force, it is objective factual reality.
• The obligation is on Islam to terminate its aggression. It will never do that because its aggression is doctrine driven. Allah commands Muslims to conquer the world and exterminate the Jews. His commands can not be repealed, they have neither geographic nor chronological limits.
• Islam could have stopped its attacks any time in the last 60 years and Israel would have ceased retaliating. Islam will not stop, because it perceives weakness. Like all predators, Islam seeks weak prey unable or unwilling to defend itself. Israel can only obtain peace by victory. Victory is defined as extinction of the predator.
• When a genocidal attack is mounted, no retaliation is disproportionate. Israel must use sufficient force to terminate the aggression. Only extermination can terminate the aggression; there is no substitute. While there is Islam, there will be attacks upon Israel. If Israel retaliated by launching ballistic missiles into residential areas at random, that would be proportionate, and the U.N. would bitch about it. Go to Hell, U.N.!
• In warfare, it is necessary to cut off supply lines to prevent the enemy from replacing spent weaponry and ammunition. Israel is an idiot, as evidenced by repeated opening of the border crossing to allow supplies to be delivered.
• Islam is a human rights violation!
• enslaving people to Satan
• denying the right to life
• denying the right to property
• denying human dignity
• sanctifying perpetual war
• sanctifying genocide
• sanctifying terrorism.

Do you need to see the proof ? You can find it in these compilations of blog posts, which contain ample documentation through hyperlinks to Islamic source documents.

• Jihad.chm A six part series compiled as a Windows Help File.
• Islamic Terror.chm A six part series compiled as a Windows Help File.
• Islamic Supremacism.chm A three part series compiled as a Windows Help File.
  

Further confirmation is contained in the following topics in Ibn Kathir's Tafsir.

• The Order for Jihad against the Disbelievers, the Closest, then the Farthest Areas
• The Order to fight to eradicate Shirk and Kufr
• The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah
• The Order for Jihad against the Disbelievers and Hypocrites
• The Good News that Muslims will conquer the Known World, and ultimately the Entire World
• The Good News that Muslims will Dominate the People of the Book
• The Good News that Islam shall prevail

The constant spew of malicious malarkey, particularly the moral inversion; portraying the aggressive predator as the victim, is an insulting offense to intelligence and reason. By it, the United Nations and its agencies condemn themselves as unworthy & unqualified to declare, defend and promote human rights and peace.

“The head of an international human rights group Friday charged that the war against terror had transformed itself into a war against human rights.

Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International, blasted the labeling of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other clandestine sites around the world, as enemy combatants and holding these individuals without charging them with a specific crime or prosecution…”
