They admit they want total world domination, and we are so arrogant we think that it can NEVER happen here. Well, we better wake up. They are using our democracy, our Constitution,our lawyers (ACLU) and our own courts to gain power. Look at what they have done elsewhere.

Thoughtcrime Law Passes UK Vote

What about the Koran?

In an earlier Commons debate, a Conservative MP raised the possibility that the law, if passed, could outlaw the reading of passages of the Koran that called for harsh treatment against Christians and Jews.

Following those assertions, a delegation of prominent Muslims held talks last week with the government minister responsible for the bill, Paul Goggins, to check whether the legislation could affect reading and quoting from the Koran and other Islamic texts such as the Hadith -- the traditional sayings of Mohammed and other early Muslim figures.

There were concerns in the Muslim community "that dawah [proselytizing] and propagatory practices may be curtailed under the new legislation," the Muslim Weekly reported.

The delegation suggested that it may be preferable to "totally exempt" Islamic texts from the bill.

They admit the shoe fits.

Here's the text of the UK's "Racial and Religious Hatred" bill: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/011/2006011.htm

This is totally unacceptable in a free society. How long before this sort of legislation will arise in America?

We'd better speak our minds now while the thought police don't yet have the power to control the expressions of of opinion.

This is exactly what I mean by rejecting Blair's comment that terrorism will not change our way of life. It already has. The government is encroaching more and more on the lives of ordinary citizens in order to defend itself against the Islamic cancer that only grows in that religion's practitioners.

This shall not stand.

Hey USF...I was confused by some of the Little Green Footballs article. It states that some Muslim factions were lobbying for the ThoughtCrime Law yet others were against it. What's your take on that matter? I haven't been following it closely enough to understand that aspect.
