“The disgraceful stance came to light when a member of the public complained about death threats posted to an online forum which called for homosexuals to be ‘burned, decapitated and slaughtered.'” Yet this “anti-discrimination watchdog” refused to pursue the case, writing: “The remarks must be seen in the context of religious beliefs in Islam, which juridically takes away the insulting character.”
In their globalist ardor to appease and accommodate Islamic supremacists, there seems to be no absurdity that is out of bounds for the political elites.
“Fury as watchdog says it’s OK to send gay people death threats – but only if you’re Muslim,” by Nick Gutteridge, Express, December 3, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
FURIOUS Dutch MPs have demanded an immediate public inquiry after a government-backed watchdog said it was acceptable for Muslims to send gay people death threats.
In a shocking move, the taxpayer-funded hotline said it would not pursue a criminal complaint over horrific messages from radical Islamists because the Koran says gay people can be killed.
The disgraceful stance came to light when a member of the public complained about death threats posted to an online forum which called for homosexuals to be “burned, decapitated and slaughtered”.
Dutch MPs today reacted with horror to the revelations, demanding an immediate inquiry into the remarks and calling for the hotline to be stripped of public funding.
According to Dutch media advisors from the anti-discrimination bureau MiND said that, while homophobic abuse was usually a crime, it was justifiable if you were Muslim due to laws on freedom of religious expression.
They argued that the Koran says it is acceptable to kill people for being homosexual, and so death threats towards gay people from Muslims could not be discriminatory.
In a jaw-dropping email explaining why they could not take up the complaint, they wrote: “The remarks must be seen in the context of religious beliefs in Islam, which juridically takes away the insulting character.”
They concluded that the remarks were made in “the context of a public debate about how to interpret the Quran” and added that “some Muslims understand from the Quran that gays should be killed”.
And they went on: “In the context of religious expression that exists in the Netherlands there is a large degree of freedom of expression. In addition, the expressions are used in the context of the public debate (how to interpret the Koran), which also removes the offending character.”
The death threats had been made in the comments section for an article about a Dutch-Moroccan gay society, which had been posted to an online platform for Holland’s large Moroccan community….
This world’s appeasing liberals have truly gone insane.
Two groups whose philosophies and behaviors are antithetical and incompatible with civil Western society. Nobody to support, however, something to support— the rule of law.
There’s only so much of the empowerment/entitlement pie to satisfy the voracious appetites of ‘special rights’ groupies, so when a snarling junk yard dog (Islamists) demands its fair share, something has to give, meaning the ‘rights’ of another pie eater will have to be sacrificed.
And every time idiots like this put their foot in it, in an effort to appease Islamists, hundreds more Dutch decide that it’s time to vote for Geert Wilders.
In other Geert Wilders news:
“Leading Dutch politician Geert Wilders calls on Israel to ignore the UN and continue building.”
“Dutch prosecutors will appeal a court ruling against the far-right anti-Islam leader of the Freedom Party (PVV), Geert Wilders, which found him guilty (in a political kangaroo court) of discrimination against the people of Moroccan origin.”
“Poll: Geert Wilders would lead Dutch Party for Freedom to 50% more seats than nearest rival. A new poll in the Netherlands shows that Geert Wilders would, if an election were held today, lead his Party for Freedom (PVV) to 36 seats, or 50% more than the seats that would be obtained by the nearest rival party.” (Jul 4, 2016)
The next election will take place in March 2017.
“This world’s appeasing liberals have truly gone insane.”
Seen through the eyes of Leftist elite, it’s not at all insane. They couldn’t care less about either group, except as tools to acquire more power and control.
Still insane nonetheless. Regardless of purpose or goals.
All of them need to be constantly reminded of the tale of the Tudeh party.
Apparently no big issue until these threats are directed toward government members and their appointed associates.
We’ll see if it changes then.
Someone there needs to create a religon based on (anything at all) to get gov’t sanction for their anti-surrender to Islam policies ,, best to just copy Islams conquer strategy as their own but direct it at Muslims.
Meanwhile, here in the US, it’s “Bake the Damn Cake.”
Yet Liberals persecute Christians!
There are only hot cocoa, pajama boys left in Europe...
I believe in freedom of speech and this just shows the hypocrisy of the anti freedom of speech ‘hate crimes’ notion.
If some calling themselves a Christian had made death threats against gays the hate crimes trial would be on the way.
Geert Wilders was tried and convicted on such charges for saying much, much less than that.
But in the EUSSR, as it turns out, some are ‘more equal than others’ and immune from any consequences.
Put the shoe on the other foot and gays or Christians would be in prison.
