Why are Muslims immigrating to the West only to demand we live under the most brutal and extreme legal system on the face of the earth? And why is the West going along? Why does the Western press adhere to the draconian sharia blasphemy laws?
‘Respect Islam!’ Muslims protest free speech at London French embassy. They behead us then demand we apologize.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.
Islamic law forbids criticism of Islam, Quran, Muhammad. If they cannot be criticized in the West, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech. This would establish Muslims as a protected class and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.
Any criticism of jihad terror that examines its ideological roots in Islam is called Islamophobia, The word is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. This deforms our response to terrorism by placing off-limits any examination of its guiding ideology, and effectively enforces Sharia blasphemy laws in the US by placing Islam, Quran, Muhammad beyond criticism.
If speech that offends a group is outlawed, that group has absolute power, and a free society is destroyed. A group that cannot be criticized cannot be opposed. It can work its will no matter what it is, and no one will be able to say anything to stop it.
The Muhammad cartoons are a flash point in the discussion about free speech because according to Islamic law they are blasphemy, punishable by death. Many have been killed over them. At issue is whether we will protect those who draw them and exhibit them, and thereby protect free speech and free society, or censor ourselves and others over them, thereby in effect adopting Sharia.
Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.
A free society is by its nature one in which people put up with others being uncivil and offensive. The alternative is a quiet authoritarian society in which only one opinion is allowed and the others are silenced, and ultimately sent to the camps.
Anti-Macron fury reaches London: Police clash with Muslim crowds demanding ‘respect for the Prophet’ outside French Embassy over President’s stance on Charlie Hebdo cartoons
- Protesters gathered in London holding signs that said ‘We will not tolerate disrespect of our beloved prophet’
- Emmanuel Macron has become the focal point of Islamic fury after defending Charlie Hebdo cartoons
- The Mohammed drawings were used as justification for a teacher’s murder in Paris suburbs two weeks ago
- Macron said that France will not ‘give up on our values’ despite fury at the caricatures – sparking more outrage
By HENRY MARTIN FOR MAILONLINE, 30 October 2020
After three people were murdered in Nice yesterday in the latest in a long line of terror attacks in France, Macron said that France will not ‘give up on our values’ despite fury at the caricatures.
Other protesters in London held up signs depicting the French President as a demonic creature, while others held up a portrait of Macron with a boot mark across his face.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed that the demonstrations outside the London embassy had now dispersed. They added: ‘Officers engaged and encouraged those protesting to disperse, the majority left without issue. Those who didn’t comply were dealt with by enforcement.
‘Officers made a total of three arrests. Two people for Covid breaches and one for possession of pyrotechnics.
’13 people have also reported for consideration of a fixed penalty notice.’On Twitter, the French Embassy in London released a statement saying: ‘France is the target of terrorist attacks against our freedom of expression, to believe or not to believe, to live in the Fraternity. We will remain what we are, a free, tolerant country, proud of its humanist values of democracy.’

Today, thousands poured out of Friday prayer services to join anti-French protests in Pakistan while the French flag was set on fire in Afghanistan and others voiced their anger in India, Bangladesh and Indonesia by burning effigies of Macron and stamping on pictures of his face.Protesters also gathered outside the French embassies in Copenhagen and Moscow to denounce the French President, while posters of him were set alight in Istanbul, Turkey.
Turkey has led the condemnation of France in recent days, with President Erdogan suggesting that he needs ‘mental checks’, comparing European leaders to ‘fascists’, and suggesting that Muslims in Europe are now treated the same as Jews before the Second World War.
Erdogan’s press aide, Fahrettin Altun, condemned the Nice attack but said that ‘such senseless violence has nothing to do with Islam or Muslims’.
‘We will continue to confront any politician who insults our religion and values,’ he said.

Why did they move here? Why did they move to countries with liberal values?
They are not here to integrate, but to conquer and impose Islam upon us all. For the first time in human history, a civilization has invited its own destruction,

THE DUMBEST MOVE
Is in Lebanon, where Muslims are attacking and trying to burn the French embassy in Beirut.
While they are also begging the French for a big financial bailout after Hezbollah blew up half their city.
What could possibly go wrong with that strategy?

The dumbest move in Lebanon was Lebanese Christians letting the f’ing muslum vermin occupy and conquer their country. Lebanon is now a muslum state and a member of the all muslum fascist NGO called the OIC.

Respect? Like this?
A Muslim goes into Burger King and says “I want two Whoppers.”
The clerk behind the counter quickly replies:
● “Mohamed wasn’t a murdering pædophile.”
AND
● “Islam is a Religion of Peace.”
One of Mohamed’s wives called him a pædophile.
Mohamed says “Where did a 9-year-old learn such a big word?”

In the interest of freedom of speech as contained in the First Amendment, “F*ck Islam!”.
Put that in your huka and smoke it.
The Second Amendment protects all the others.

The question is not “Why did France allow the tabloid to provoke Muslims?” but rather why do Muslims allow a tabloid to provoke them? The apostle Paul of Tarsus (an historic city of modern-day Turkey) wrote that “charity is not easily provoked” (1 Corinthians 13:5). To believe that God is love (1 John 4:8), and to know Him, is to be filled with the same love, and to act accordingly, charitably.
It is true that the word Islam does not mean peace, as Anjem Choudary wrote, but rather submission, and it is good for us to hear him state that. In this sense it may be said that Islam is not a “religion of peace” as our leaders would like to have us think, but rather a religion of submission – “submission to the commands of Allah” – even to the extent of enforcing it upon unbelievers and punishing those who refuse to submit. On the contrary, Christ invites all to a voluntary submission that is not compulsory.
Choudary writes of “the potential consequences of insulting the Messenger Muhammad”. This highlights another key difference between Islam and Christianity, particularly between the prophet Muhammad and the Lord Jesus Christ. Muhammad said “Whoever insults a Prophet, kill him.” But Jesus, who is more than a prophet, said whoever speaks a word against Him shall be forgiven (Luke 12:10).
The Imam concedes that all Muslims are not agreed about the right to freedom of speech. He also observes that “even non-Muslims who espouse it say it comes with responsibilities.” This is true, especially for Christians who are not to misuse their liberty (Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16), and for all who desire true freedom. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” That is the sum total of all the law and the prophets (Matthew 7:12).
