Criminalisation of ‘Islamophobia’:" the "Otganization of Islamic Cooperation’s "legal jihad"

Since the scandal surrounding the Islamophobic film “Innocence of Muslims” erupted on an Egyptian Islamist channel on the occasion of the anniversary of September 11^th, much ink and blood has flowed. The fanatical Salafists resurrected a film (which previously had gone totally unnoticed) which was attributed to a US-Egyptian, who himself had attempted to gain the endorsement of “Zionist Jewish donors.” This version has naturally found a favorable echo among Islamists, masters of conspiracy theories that make Americans and Jews responsible for all the ills of Muslims.

The rest is history, be it in Benghazi (Libya), Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Germany. Very quickly we went from anti-Judaism and anti-Americanism to a widespread hatred of the West in general. In Pakistan, “whites” were attacked, threatened or insulted just because they appeared to be Westerners.

That said, and contrary to what the media, the best amplifiers for Islamists, would have us believe, few massive mobilizations have actually occurred, except those organized in Pakistan by the supporters of the death penalty for blasphemy, and from Lebanon at the instigation of the Shiites of Hizbullah. It is true that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Shiite sponsor of the latter group refuses to be upstaged in the anti-Western rhetoric and the hunt for “Islamophobia”: An Ayatollah has appropriately raised the Salman Rushdie affair by upping to $3 million the contract placed on the head of the author of “The Satanic Verses”.

Recall that it was Ayatollah Khomeini who in 1989 launched the term “Islamophobia” and who was the first to test the response capabilities (and submission) of the West he despised and considered cowardly. Even then, rather than defending the Salman Rushdie block, the political and religious leaders of the West fragmented in regard to the “blasphemies” of the writer, blamed for the “wrath” of the crazies who also killed the Japanese translator of The Satanic Verses.

A few years later, Western leaders and media disintegrated over another Voltaire of the Muslim world, the Somali “apostate” Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an elected Dutch MEP and Theo Van Gogh, who together produced the film “Submission” that” offended Muslims. These two “Islamophobes” were accused of having “provoked” the wrath of their executioners, and Van Gogh was murdered in the street by an Islamist Dutch-Moroccan connected to al-Qaeda, Mohammed Bouyeri, whilst Hirsi Ali was forced into exile in the United States to escape the death threats …

Since then, intimidated by fanaticism and bound by its “allies” Muslim oil producers (and / or protectors of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda such as Pakistan or Saudi Arabia), the West has consistently abdicated in the face of offensive testing by supporters of Islamist censorship eager to spread the spirit of the Sharia and “dhimmitude” in the West. This includes official statements by U.S. and European leaders (except Italy and Denmark) condemning the Danish cartoonists of Muhammad (the newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005) and about misunderstanding Pope Benedict XVI on Islam from the speech Faith, Reason and the University (September 2006).

More recently, the anti-Islamic film, Innocence of Muslims and the Muhammad cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo were officially condemned by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, even in commercials broadcast on television stations in Pakistan Already in 2009, in his Cairo speech, rather than ask the friendly Muslim states to fight the worst oppressions of Sharia Law and the persecution of minorities, Barack Obama gave a speech totally exempting Muslims from responsibility and casting them as victims whilst condemning the West for supposed “Islamophobia” and praising the “Lights of Islam” but never daring to speak of reciprocity in tolerance.

Now, the mainstream media and Western officials view in the same light peaceful cartoonists and Islamist terrorists, as if the first were comparable to fanatics who always find an excuse to quench their thirst for blood and achieve their oppressive objectives. In the country of Voltaire, where the right to blasphemy against the Catholic Church has never officially been terminated, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and the Quai d’Orsay have made an exception for Islam disavowing cartoonists. Reviving the spirit of Munich, Westerners often go further than some Arab Muslim officials and media who sometimes see more clearly than their Western colleagues and refuse to accept obscurantist violence as ‘reactions to the offense “(see the courageous editorials Al Sharq al Awsat, L’Orient le Jour, or Tahar Ben Jelloun and Tunisian Abdelwahhab Medeb).

So, to calm the “anger” of the former and to satisfy the anti-libertarian requests of the latter, Western officials apologize collectively for “Islamophobic” acts committed by a few, while neither governments nor the masses of the West are in any way liable. In so doing, they recognize the need to de facto limit freedom of expression. This is a major strategic error, because by condemning journalists and writers who “cause” the wrath of the Islamists, they encourage these new censors to demand ever more.

Thus Mahmoud Gozlan, spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, whilst acknowledging the criticism by the French government of Charlie Hebdo, immediately invited France to enact laws to criminalize Islamophobia, even daring to draw a parallel with the memorial laws condemning Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism: “Anyone who doubts the existence of the Holocaust is imprisoned, but if someone insults the Prophet, his companions or Islam, the maximum (France) will do is to give a two word apology. This is neither fair nor logical,” said Mahmoud Gozlan. “We reject and condemn the French caricatures which dishonor the Prophet and we condemn any action that defames the sacred,” Meanwhile, Essam al-Erian, a senior Freedom and Justice Party (PJD, Muslim Brother) in power in Egypt demanded that the French justice “addresses the problem with as much firmness as it did for the topless pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton,” published in Closer.

In this process of reversal of responsibilities aimed at curtailing freedoms, the organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the largest intergovernmental organization after the United Nations, bringing together 57 Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, of which Turkey and Egypt are the leaders, plays a vital role in the world. Under the guise of “defending threatened Muslim minorities”, the OIC uses its influence to prevent the integration of Muslim immigrants in the West, who are instead taken hostage by the bearded ones and abandoned by our capitulating governments who for many years have entrusted them to foreign preachers and Islamic ally States who fight Christian proselytizing at home and refuse any reciprocity but who spread the “true faith” in Europe and elsewhere …

To confirm this total absence of reciprocity and impose the supremacy of sharia on the secular and universal conception of Human Rights, in 1981 and 1990, the OIC declared two “Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights “giving precedence to the spirit of the Sharia and limiting religious freedom (conviction of blasphemy and the right to choose one’s own religion). And since 1999, the OIC has attempted to transcribe into international law, particularly in the United Nation, the concept of “defamation of religions” and “Islamophobia” real weapons of war against legal freedom of expression and to promote Sharia in the world.

Height of paradox: the main states lobbying for the criminalization of Islamophobia within the OIC are the most intolerant Christianophobes: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan and Turkey (candidate for EU entry but still denying the genocide of a million and a half Armenian and Aramaic Christians…) Recall that within the OIC and the Council of Human Rights of the UN (HRC), the most virulent promoter of the criminalization of Islamophobia, Pakistan, persecutes minorities officially through the Penal Code which condemns to death “blasphemers” or proselytizing Christians who “insult Islam.” Recall that in 2011, the former Pakistani minister for minorities, Christian, Shahbaz Bhatti, and former Governor of the Punjab, Muslim, were killed for proposing the abolition of the blasphemy law and demanding the release of the famous Christian mother sentenced to death for blasphemy, Asia Bibi. This is the same State who, in 1999, presented to the HRC a resolution on “defamation of Islam” (later sweetened to “defamation of religions”).

Even “two weights, two measures” at the Council of Human Rights of the UN, where “Islamophobia” in the West is officially condemned, while the persecution of Christians and other minorities in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Nigeria and Egypt are systematically denied with the complicity of Western countries that only intervene in these proceedings to punish that country (generally pro-Russian and pro-Chinese or pro-Iranians) which threatens their strategic and oil interests, and always defend the ”allied” slave Sunni monarchies in the Gulf or Pakistan who persecute Christians and Shiites …

With this inversion of responsibility, we observe that since September 11, 2001, not only have the Islamic states most associated with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Afghanistan and Pakistan) not yet started their necessary self-criticism but have self-exempted themselves from combatting the ideological roots of Islamist totalitarianism (which they promote in their embassies and madrasas) accusing Westerners and “Zionists” of “persecuting” Muslims and so-called “dirtying Islam. ”

Thus, in March 2008, after three years of violence Islamist “reaction” to the “cartoons” of Muhammad or the “Islamophobic” speech of Benedict XVI, the UN passed a resolution condemning the OIC “defamation of religions” ( in fact Islam). The General Assembly declared itself “deeply hurt by the defamation of religion and Islam in the world and especially in Western democracies”, claiming that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a “genocide” of Muslims, but it went totally silent about the massacres of Christians in southern Sudan or elsewhere.

The OIC demanded that Western democracies criminalize “Islamophobia.” In 2010, another resolution was adopted by the HRC condemning the Swiss popular initiative banning minarets. In June 2011, a Committee of the Council of Human Rights decided to abandon the concept of “defamation of religions”, noting that the anti-blasphemy laws like those in force in Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan violate Human Rights.

But this draconian concept was reformulated by OIC Resolution “16/18″ adopted on 19 December 2011 in the Council on Human Rights resolution that fought “intolerance, negative stereotyping, stigmatization, discrimination, incitement to violence against persons because of their religion or belief”.

The new strategy for implementing Resolution” 16/18” was designed by the Secretary General of the OIC, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu (Turkish diplomat appointed by the Islamist AKP party in power in Ankara), at a meeting of the International OIC held in Istanbul in July 2011. This “Istanbul Conference” called to ban all criticism of Islam under the pretext of combating “intolerance against religions.” It allowed advancing in a new way the concept of “defamation of religions” as applied to human rights.

The text of the OIC urged to “create the necessary environment for the prohibition of defamation of religions and incitement to hatred, violence and discrimination on religious grounds (…) stressing the importance of limits on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, in a structured multilateral and in the light of events such as the burning of the Koran, according to the test of consequences”.

But this very dangerous concept, which brings us to the news of the Mohammed cartoons and anti-Islamic film, is based on a great inversion of responsibility: it does not render the fanatics responsible for the violence but the cartoonists themselves accused of “causing” violent reactions of the Islamists, simple “consequences” of Islamophobia, hence the imperative to punish legally. The “Istanbul Declaration” alerts the world about “implications (consequences) The dangerous rise of Islamophobia on peace and security. We emphasize the need to develop the UN, including the Council of Human Rights, a legally binding institutional instrument to promote respect for all religions and cultural values and prevent intolerance, discrimination and incitement to hatred against any group or followers of a religion”. After the first meeting in Istanbul on 12 to 14 December 2011, the OIC met the Obama administration in Washington to persuade the U.S. President to join the “Istanbul Process” and to implement Resolution 16/18 of 2011.

With the official approval of Hillary Clinton, the OIC marked a major diplomatic coup. Now it is the European Union plans to host the next meeting of the “Istanbul Process”.

The world’s democracies must reject any form of penalty or limitation of freedom of expression, including the right to criticize religions, even the most “obvious”. For certain universal principles are not negotiable or “adaptable” based on religious cultures, or they would have to accept human sacrifice, slavery or inferiority of sub-castes under the pretext that they are allowed in some religions. It is therefore necessary to turn against the fanatics the same deadly weapons they use to crush secular democracies, noting in particular that many OIC countries persecute or kill non-Muslims, liberal Muslims and unbelievers with impunity. Western democracies of Judeo-Christian culture must also act within the United Nations to denounce the mirror-accusation of the OIC who blames “Islamophobia” in the West but endorses Christianophobia legitimized by Islamic “blasphemy” or “anti-proselytizing” laws

The sad reality is that anti-Western radical Islamism, as developed and distributed into European suburbs by Salafi preachers trained in countries of so-called “allies” (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.) is the most combative and efficient system of global hatred, anti-Semitic and totalitarian ideology Christianophobia and the most popular. Everywhere, anti-Western “green fascism” increases due to the fear it arouses and the violence that unfolds. And this unfortunately owes much to the Western media who make more visible the bearded fanatics rather than liberal Muslims. Now, obviously, the first victims of this “religious fascism” are minorities and moderate Muslims who live under permanent threat and terror. A growing phenomenon such as the “Arab Spring” (quickly becoming an “Islamist winter”) has not halted, but rather accelerated. For Rabat to Sanaa, to Tunis, Damascus or Baghdad, the source of legitimacy is the Shariah, which, when applied in its orthodox or radical, is never a good thing for minorities and followers of freedom.

I’m waiting for someone to create an organization of those abused and violated by Muslims in the name of Islam, that calls for the “criminalization of Islam”, “as it is incompatible with human rights and dignity, civility, peace, and the expression of conscience and religious faith.”

That is, for that organization to classify Islam as an “illegitimate, primitive and barbaric culture inimical to humanity.” That it is *not* a religion, but merely a system of tyranny, brutality and whimsical oppression.

As such, Muslims who remain Muslims should be denied immigration to “civilized” nations, as much as an equal number of avowed cannibals, who claim a “right to cannibalism” in their worship of their primitive god.

And those Muslims who are not citizens of civilized nations should be returned to their despotic regimes of origin, which if they fear and hate, they should be encouraged to overthrow and replace with a legitimate government that is not Muslim, so is perhaps far less abusive.

“....that calls for the “criminalization of Islam”, “as it is incompatible with human rights....”

.
That shouldn’t be too hard to do if our legislators are sincerely concerned about the threat of islam to our national security and ultimate survival as a nation.

It would also clear the way to remove their present protection under the 1st Amendment.

But then again, it requires courage to enact such legislation and that may be too much to ask of our congresscritters.

Rightfully so.
The illiteracy and ignorance of what islam is and how it operates is what keeps it alive. A perfect example is the black MB in America.... the fools... they need to watchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bEpzmSOlUI, actually all blacks and whites should watch this as a part of required reading in history in the schools. One of America’s problems is the movement of the black MB unaware of their history. I cannot see how any self respecting black man could support islam based on the movie.
Additional reading should be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y
It is interesting that the name Tamerlane is brought up, the same tamerlane as inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IstZSgniH8 which demonstrates the true personality of Islam.

More people need to be educated.

I would think that if their own people knew history, many would abandon their “faith”, and.... I use that loosely.

the “koran”?

Cover to cover, it is HATE SPEECH.

Kill me for the infidel that I am!... or...kill me for associating with the infidel... or kill me for apostacy and freedom of choice.....or kill me for Islams’s failures....

What idiots , destined to stay there!

WE need to PUSH BACK. Make EACH AND EVERY facet of Sharia ILLEGAL in America and DEMAND that Muslims no longer be allowed to migrate here and that the Federal Government round up and detain all Muslims HERE as agents of a foreign government - the Umma and Saudi Arabia.

I am not uslamophobic. I am radically islamaverse. It is the most evil, murderous subculture on the planet spreading like a disease that is 100% fatal. It has reached pandemic proportions and I think people should be vaccinated against it just like they would be against any other fatal disease.

Don’t be petrified, be ready to shoot back and survive. Let the other b@stard die for his unholy cause.

This is America, not Egypt or Pakistan. Here, the “infidels” have both guns & a growing attitude about Islam.

Islam is not what you should be afraid of.

What should scare the hell out of you is the fact that we have a government that is unwilling to defend the American citizen against this evil but rather grant it constitutional protection.

You have an internet connection and a computer or access to both. You have the time to read and post on FR. Your post is both articulate and well reasoned. I surmise you have the intelligence and ability required. Why are you waiting for someone else to do it?

I am not an organization, nor am powerful enough an Internet presence to be heard. Unfunded, individual efforts accomplish little. Compare the project to Jihad Watch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad_Watch

It criticizes Islam for what it has done and is doing. But my suggestion is that the evidence is sufficient, that the tolerance of Islam is no longer acceptable, that the argument must evolve to one of outlawing Islam as incompatible with human rights, civil liberties, and civilization itself.

So it becomes an issue of political advocacy. That at some point, the congress overcomes its squeamishness about being frivolously accused of racism, and passes a law or laws that makes it clear: Islam must conform to American law and Muslims must conform to our social standards, or they have no place in our country. If they cannot abide our culture and our constitution, they are invited to leave.

And if they refuse to leave voluntarily they will be deported as “enemy aliens”.

The path to accomplishing these goals is via advocacy on forums like this. To persuade others that this is indeed a reasonable course of action. With agreement, eventually momentum will build.

This is not an overnight process, nor should it be.
