Legal Project News Clips: 1/14/13 –1/20/13
The LP works to protect the right in the West to freely discuss Islam,
radical Islam, terrorism, and terrorist funding.
Our website is http://www.legal-project.org/
News Clips that Shouldn't be Missed:
Imran Firasat (an LP
client) case goes to the European Parliament
· Bodissey, Baron. "The Imran Firasat Case Presented at the European Parliament," Gates of Vienna Blog, January 15, 2013.
As a
follow-up to the previous post, below is the presentation of the Imran Firasat case to the European
Parliament yesterday in Strasbourg by MEP Gerard Batten of UKIP:
BBC builds a bunker to
protect itself from suicide bombers
· Gore, Alex. "BBC bunker: News studios built in bomb proof room to protect
it from suicide attacks," The Daily
Mail (UK), January 13, 2013.
The
BBC's new multi-million pound television news studio has been built to be
bomb proof to protect journalists from suicide attacks. The news room
sits in a bunker under the main reception at the £1billion New Broadcasting
House.
The PC argument to restrict
Islam-related speech shredded by former LP Staffer
· Harrod, Andrew E. "Harris Zafar's Islamic Intellectual Incoherence," American Thinker, January 20, 2013.
Harris
Zafar, national spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, posted
recently at the Washington Post's online Guest Voices blog the article
"Making Islamic Sense of Free Speech." Review of Zafar's analysis shows that he makes no sense,
Islamic or otherwise, at all with respect to free speech. If anything, Zafar
deceptively offers justification for censorship all the while proclaiming
respect for intellectual freedom.
UK scraps some hate speech
laws
· Shipman, Tim & James Slack. "Blackadder preserves our right to be insulting: Ministers
agree to amend laws after campaign led by Rowan Atkinson," The Daily Mail (UK), January 14, 2013.
Ministers
agreed to scrap a law outlawing 'insulting words or behaviour' last night
after a campaign led by comedian Rowan Atkinson. Home Secretary Theresa
May announced a dramatic U-turn yesterday saying the government would ditch
the contentious words from the Public Order Act amid fears that they are
strangling free speech.
Other
Clips:
EDL Leader in hate speech
trouble for insulting Islam
Kevin Carroll,
the Chairman of the British Freedom Party, was arrested in Luton on Saturday
for making a comment on Facebook. "Boy oh boy, Baron," you
say, "that must have been a really dangerous comment! What did he do?
Call for killing people? Did he incite rebellion against Queen and country?"
Lady
Gaga's burka offends the usual PC scolds
Lady Gaga seems to be on a roll. On
Sunday evening, she not only pretended to shoot her audience up with guns on
her breasts, but dressed up in a pink burka in what is seen by many in the
blogosphere as a desperate attempt to cause controversy by offending the
Muslim community. Well, it did work for the director of "Innocence of Muslims."
CAIR
fails to intimidate Marylanders about speech
Maybe it was too nice out to protest. Or maybe no
one cared what a few hundred conservatives were talking about in this
one-party state. But only about 10 people convened Saturday with signs
outside the DoubleTree Hotel in Annapolis to oppose Pamela Geller, best known
for her opposition to the Ground Zero mosque and her ad campaigns linking the
concept of jihad with mass murder. She was the opening speaker at the
Maryland Conservative Action Network (MDCAN) conference held the same day at
the hotel.
Gates
of Vienna Blog taken down, presumably for its blogging on Islam
Mannheimer
in hate speech trouble again in Germany for criticizing Islam
Michael Mannheimer is one of Germany's leading
critics of Islam. I've mentioned him a few times here. He has his own blog and writes
for the huge German anti-Islam blog, Politically Incorrect. Mainstream German journalists from
Die Zeit newspaper have also alleged that he is behind the Nuremberg 2.0 website, which aims to collate
information with a view to future prosecutions of members of the elite for
permitting the islamisation of their countries, taking the Nuremberg trials
as its model. Mannheimer himself has denied being responsible for Nuremberg
2.0.
"Islamophobia" is a
tactic increasingly used to restrict speech regarding Islam
Islamists, who have, like many others,
found ways of influencing Western democracies, have refined one process in
particular, called al Taqiyya [dissimulation], sanctioned to promote Islam to
"unbelievers" or "infidels," if and when considered
necessary. The word "Islamophobia," for instance, has been
disguised and misused so frequently that when Westerners merely question
Islam, or its role in terrorism, they risk being branded as
"Islamophobes" or "racists."
