hate speech

Update, 9/18

NewsRescue- As the magazine that published publicly taken photos of the future queen of England, Kate Middleton gets hammered fines for its ‘freedom of speech’. See CNN:

The court ordered Closer magazine to hand over the original photos to the royal family within 24 hours of the ruling and to pay them 2,000 euros (about $2,600).

And a French prosecutor opened a preliminary criminal investigation into the incident, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office said Tuesday.

The magazine must pay a further 10,000 euros a day if it is late in handing over the photos.

Our yesterday article pulls more sway. “Coincidentally” these two events happening at the same time in the western world, display the disparity in dealing with items of varying interest and respect to the western world, and how the so-called ‘freedom of speech’ is a fantasy and non existent.

Kate Middleton’s public displays of filth- with the prince shamelessly slapping lube on her naked behind in public view- were reprehensible on their part. By all means, they in addition to the photographer should be rebuked by our standards. NewsRescue ordinarily would never publish such images, the only reason they are partially up right now is as a tough decision in clearly presenting the context of the present debate on freedom of speech and freedom to debase.

Should Hate Speech and Acts Against Islam Be A Crime?

September 17th, 2012

by Hamza Suleiman

NewsRescue [Opinion]- In July 2010, Terry Jones, the pastor of the Christian Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, U.S., announced he would burn 200 Qurans on the 2010 anniversary of the September 11 attacks. On March 20, 2011, Terry Jones held a “trial of the Quran” in his Gainesville church. Finding the scriptures guilty of “crimes against humanity,” he burned it in the church sanctuary. Protesters in the northern Afghanistan city of Mazar-i-Sharif and elsewhere attacked the United Nations Assistance Mission, killing at least 30 people, including at least seven United Nations workers, and injuring at least 150 people.Jones disclaimed any responsibility. Norwegian, Swedish, Nepalese and Romanian nationals were among the UN workers killed. American news analysts criticized and blamed Hamid Karzai, president of Afghanistan, for drawing attention to the Quran burning.[wikipedia]

The United States legal system did not charge or prosecute pastor Terry Jones for any crime in the incitement of hate and deaths.

Film Promoter, Coptic Morris Sadek stands by Terry Jones, Evangelist who burned Quran

Sometime in July 2012, a Christian Coptic group with lead agent Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who operated under an alias, Sam Bascile, made and promoted a movie that gravely insulted prophet Mohammed(P), the Muslim most dignified and emulated personality. Other Coptic Christians in his gang with also Terry Jones discussed ways to promote this hate movie in order to provoke global reactions and intolerance against Islam.

After the movie failed to gain traction on Youtube, where it was released, an extremist Coptic Christian US-Egyptian citizen whose Egyptian citizenship had been revoked allegedly due to his inciting hate and anti-Islamic sentiment in Egypt, Morris Sadek on Sept. 5th, posted an Arabic version of the movie on his website and in conjunction with other fanatics emailed the video to numerous Arab media addresses. His website also hosts a front-page image of him standing by his partner, pastor Terry Jones. The movie hit its mark, Muslims got infuriated by it and the fact that the movie was associated to a gang of known, repeat offender fanatic Christians, Terry Jones and his ilk, with a known history of permitted acts of hate speech against Muslims in the US.

Sept 11: Riots broke out in Egypt, Libya and across over 21 countries including Sidney, Australia. The new Benghazi leadership-associated terrorists took advantage of the chaos and lax in security fostered by the riots and staged a sustained attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, killing two officers. These terrorists apparently with classified information from direct sources in the government, trailed escaping US officers to a hidden ‘safe house’, and conducted another sophisticated and sustained attack on the safe house killing two more US officers. In total Ambassador Stevens and 3 other US diplomats were murdered in the attack.

As a result of riots across the world dozens of people lost their life in the chaos and from police firings against protesters.

Middle East Expert Dr. Ismail Salami, who described the western attitude as ‘freedom to insult Muslims’, complained that the US should simply stay out of Muslim nations and affairs, he viewed the video as hate speech and compared it with Holocaust denial and how such behavior is taken serious and people get incarcerated for it, yet Terry Jones who in hate acts, burned the Quran got no reprimand from the US government, hence in his view, western governments allow hate speech against certain religious groups(Muslims) and not others.

We know that Terry Jones burned the Qur’an and the American administration did not do anything. Muslims respect all religions and sacred figures of other religions.

He also stated:

“Spearheaded by calculated directives, Terry Jones is not a lunatic in the common sense of the word. Nor is he a sociopath. In fact, he is a trained Mossad agent tasked with pushing ahead a dangerous agenda in the Muslim world,”

the “firebrand American pastor,” whose provocations have led to a number of deaths, is closely connected to the English Defense League (EDL), an anti-Islam group funded by the Zionist Jews and Christians in the UK.

“The group has over the recent years developed multiple sister branches in Europe and America. With their main agenda to foster enmity against the Muslim community in any part of the world, the EDL naturally spares no efforts in their hate-mongering campaign, defiling the name of Islam and inviting their members to crusade against the Muslims.”

Hate Speech = Verbal terrorism?

The question is- should US citizens who deliberately produce inciting hate speech movies or who do related acts, be charged and prosecuted? Should Terry Jones not have been incarcerated in the very beginning when he proposed a ‘burn Quran day’, and would this not have prevented this movie release and all deaths and sentiment associated? Does ‘freedom of speech’, also mean ‘freedom of hate speech’? Or is such an understanding and application of this so-called ‘freedom’, only applicable when the hate speech is directed towards Islam? Does freedom of speech mean freedom of the beast?

Different people have their chosen sensibilities, for some it may be a cow, others it may be a historic act of war, for some it is a patern of sex and others it may be God or a religion. Should we not respect people and be held accountable not for what we deem sacred but for what they view as their chosen and preferred sensibility?

If we examine the way Holocaust deniers are treated in most European nations we do see a precedent for such aggressive acts of law. Verily the reason why the Jewish Holocaust denial is treated with such aggressive legal repudiation is not because such denials or queries can change the events of the past, but rather because of a Jewish worry about the future. ‘Never again’, is the popular phrase used to accompany memories of the Holocaust. Jews aggressively pursue ‘justice’ against Holocaust deniers purportedly to prevent hate and the death of Jews in the future.

Can the same not be attributed to Islam hate speech promoters, since it has been well demonstrated that these events lead to global hate and the loss of lives of Muslims and non Muslims?

BBC: Holocaust denier Irving is jailed

David Irving arrived at court carrying a copy of one of his books

British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.

He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989.

“I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz,” he told the court in the Austrian capital.

Irving appeared stunned by the sentence, and told reporters: “I’m very shocked and I’m going to appeal.”

An unidentified onlooker told him: “Stay strong!”

Irving’s lawyer said he considered the verdict “a little too stringent”.

There are many more examples of instances where hate speech is not tolerated in western societies. These include- referring to blacks as ‘Niggers’, or ‘Nappy heads’, disrespect of the gay community, including referring to gays as ‘faggots’, and a host of other actions that could lead to arrests and other repercussions.

In the global war against terrorism, several families including those of US citizens, have been wiped out in US launched drone attacks, due not to actual acts of terrorism, but ‘merely’ for allegedly inciting violence against American interests.

Indeed the president of Iran and the people of Iran are targeted, sanctioned and an Alqaeda insurgency is sponsored against them, as also is a war pending upon them, invariably due to ‘mere’ statements requesting an impartial investigation of the actual events of the Nazi Holocaust by the president.

Hezbollah leader Nasrallah in Lebanon yesterday following the Pope’s visit called for a week of protests against the US promotion of such hate movies, across Lebanon. He stated that he delayed the call in recognition of the Pope’s visit, till after the Pope left.

Is it time the US recognized the danger of hate speech against Islam and instituted new policy to punish such instigating acts that clearly provoke Muslim-Western tension, sentiment and death? Would such a cheap to institute, sensible policy not protect life much more than billions spent in war with millions of lives lost via that route that yet fails to prevent and protect life, does? Or do we prefer war and blood?

A Nigerian commentator critiqued president Obama and Hilary Clinton for their being known to rush aggressively in the global defense of homosexual privileges, with harsh statements and threats of sanctions toward African leaders and priests who promote anti Gay sentiment in their countries, yet their failure to respond to similar anti-Muslim sentiments manufactured and propagated at home.

Do we say, ‘never again’ or we wait for the next radical fanatic to make the next hate release?

Don’t blame me for the collective actions of my government. I protested against the wars.

Don’t blame the entire West for a video made by a few people which, if you were to ask any of us, is a terrible film which was so bad and insignificant nobody here knew it existed until there were riots.

The reason Western governments can get away with their invasions is because the Western people are told about crazy reactions to insignificant publications. The actions of the violent few spoil the reputation of the entire Middle East, making them appear to be more like wild animals than people.

If the Muslim world was to react rationally and calmly to things like this, Western citizens would find it impossible to justify the actions of the Western governments in their minds and would put far greater pressure on them to stop the wars and occupations.

  One man made the video in the US, not a few…. ONE. Hundreds of thousands have blew up into very violent protest, killing people, burning down buildings, etc in response to it. Sorry…. doesnt make it even by any way shape or form.

There is a difference between words and actions. In our laws you have the basic right of freedom of speech, even calling someone a nigger, wop, faggot, kike or whatever, on its own is not against the law in this country. What I myself say should not have such an effect on you as to cause you to attack and kill people that did not even say the words. What right does a Muslim have to kill an innocent, simply because they do not like or agree with something that is said, and said innocent may not have even been the one to say it.
My knowledge of the Koran is little, miniscule actually. But in my lifetime Islam as shown itself to be one of the most intolerant, bloodthirsty religions on earth. It is considered right by them to call anyone in their own countries, of a different belief, an infidel and afford them fewer rights in society, if not actual death simply because they believe differently. On a daily basis you have Sunni, Shi’a, Sufism, Ahmadiyya, and others killing eachother simply because their beliefs do not match perfectly, even though it is the same religion. They have desecrated the Bible, and other religious artifacts of Christians many times, and to them this is right. They have declared a Holy War against the US and other countries simply because of different beliefs. They blowup, shoot, rape, mutilate their own innocent people and innocent people of other countries Simply to further their own religious beliefs. They have massive riots in numerous countries and kill numerous people all because they disagree, or feel insulted by something someone said, that the people killed have never heard of and probably have not even heard of what was said. Most Muslim countries have such strict laws governing what people can believe and say/do in a religious context, that it leads me to believe that they do not believe that their religion can stand on its own without people being forced to believe it. When an actual atrocity does take place against the religion of Islam you hear Clerics around the world calling for redress. But when you hear of the MANY atroscities that are comitted by Muslims in the name of their religion at the most you will hear is a small amout of mumbling.
If Islam wants the respect of the world then they themselves must earn it with their actions, not words as they are few and far between. They must show the same respect for other religions, and this includes the Jewish religion, that they so bloodthirstedly demand for their own.
I have a simple soulution. Let the Muslims continue with their wanton killing of people, wether guilty or innocent, that they feel have insulted their beliefs. But then the US and other countries do the same to the believers of Islam, both the guilty and the innocent when they so often insult our beliefs and our believers. One of 2 things would then happen. Faced with quid pro quo, the believers of Islam would quickly become more tolerant of other people, cultures, and religions OR in a short period of time there would be so few Muslims that the problem would be nonexsistent.
I have known a few muslims and have been friends with some of them. I think the true believers of the Koran are a tolerant people. But THEY along with the international media have allowed Islam to be hijacked by radicals and have made a religion that is basically peaceful, become one of the most bloodthirsty in the history of the world. And yes I do know about the crusades. And as long as you have apologist seemingly giving these bloodthirsty murderers a genlte pat on the back when these things happen The religion of Islam is going to continue to be thought of by the rest of the world as a bunch of murdering animals.

The two comments below me sum it up very well. Something else that is noteworthy is the fact that in western culture we make fun of our own politicians, religious leaders and high members of our society A LOT. Every newspaper in the western world has offensive caricatures of our leaders, depicting them as bafoons or whatever else seems to be relevant, and there is a new one for each news paper pretty much EVERY DAY. Almost all of our media is critical of our own culture most of the time. This is just very common in our society, and of course we are very critical of all societies. Making offensive videos and cartoons is such a huge part of our culture, do you expect us to ignore the rest of the world and only criticize ourselves?
Now don’t get me wrong, I am in no way saying that the western world is superior and deserves to be in the position of power it is in right now, that is just a matter of circumstance. What I am trying to say is that the western world is not laughing at Islam, WE LAUGH AT EVERYBODY. The “innocence of muslims” was a laughably bad movie that nobody heard about until the Muslims made a huge deal about it.

DO YOU REALIZE, that if people had reacted rationally and not taken offense to such a meaningless video, NOBODY WOULD HAVE EVEN SEEN IT! But now that you made it such a big deal, the whole western world is LAUGHING AT ISLAM for being so naive. I think every westerner agrees with me, that movie was STUPID and DESPICABLE… we actually agree with you. But then you stage massive protests and waste people, time and money over something that doesn’t matter to anyone but you… do you see why we don’t care now? The movie “innocence of muslims” will always exist just like the nude Kate Middleton photos. DEAL WITH IT in a mature way and we will respect Islam.

And also, IF YOU JUDGE THE WHOLE WORLD BY YOUR STANDARDS, WE WILL JUDGE YOU BY OURS. Being nude on vacation in many places is TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE IN WESTERN CULTURE, but we frown on publicizing pictures of nude people with out their permission since it is considered voyeurism (we do it a lot anyway because there is a market for it, but most people think its stupid and not worth paying attention to).
In our society the photographers had every right to take those pictures if they were on public property. And the Royal Family had every right to sue the magazine! The royal family won fair and square. NO hypocrisy here.
What IS HYPOCRISY is the fact that Islam judges the whole world by their standards, and then expects us to not judge THEM by OUR standards. Well guess what, we will continue to judge everyone by OUR standards because we EXPECT THEM TO DO THE SAME TO US. What ISLAM LACKS IS THAT SAME EXPECTATION.

sorry my comment wasn’t as rational and well stated as the previous comments, but i just HAD to get that off my chest.

Peace and love to all,

Every minute, every hour muslims are dishing out barrages of hate speech against other religions. As if that was not enough, they follow it up with murder of those who do not believe in their message. Their religion should now be prepared to face serious attacks.

omg it’s two different countries! And two different things, completely! The disgusting photos taken of the future queen is breach of privacy NOT freedom of speech. The stupid video made about Muhammad was freedom of speech. I am American. I do not dislike people that are Islam, Jewish, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Irish, have a bigger car then me. I do however hate people that find it necessary to hate an entire group of people because one man out of an entire nation made a video and put it on youtube and it offended you! I was born with a form a dwarfism…. I find it offensive when people make fun of midgets and dwarfs, guess what I dont go killing people over it! I really dont believe in a certain god per say, I find it offensive when overly religious people try cramming jesus down my throat, I dont go killing people over it. Me and my husband lived together before getting married, I find it offensive when people think that its a wrong thing to do, I dont go killing people over it. Grow up people!
