Dawkins and Maher were congratulating themselves for Dawkins' role in getting a female ex-Muslim reinstated as a speaker on campus when students objected to her for her views, now, on Islam. To the two of them it was a victory for free speech and they slammed anyone who would seek to block anti-Muslim rhetoric, calling it merely a free exercise of what we all love, right; free speech. This is propaganda trickery 101. You claim to be doing something which, in principle, we all admire and cherish i.e. the right to speak freely, and then you bring on someone who is speaking free hate and free bigotry and free war speech, and spread the mantle of "freedom of speech" on what are simply their incitements to war and violence and injustice. Let's look at equivalents....the issue with hate-speech directed at Muslims is not only an issue of free speech, as Nazis speaking "freely" about Jews could not be considered just an exercise in freedom in 1936. It's true that neo-Nazis in Skokie used free speech to defend their right to march...but at the time, in the 70s, there was no massive war against Jews...there was not a coalition of Christian nations ganging up on Jews, starving Jewish children to death and the host of horrors now being visited on Muslim people....so, by all means, let the Nazis speak "freely". That's very different from free speech during the Nazi era. At that time Jews were being actively persecuted and murdered and attacked and not just in Germany...and it would have been seen as an extension of those attacks and pogroms to bring an ex-Jew to speak "freely", when in reality that ex-Jew would be aiding and abetting the Nazis in their extermination program. Today the Christian world is at war against Islam....several Christian nations have been murdering and attacking and occupying and disrupting Muslim countries....while no actual death camps have been built to house Muslims, their cities and countries have been turned into death camps, so much so that it is considered safer to risk your child's life on an open ocean voyage in leaky tubs rather than remain on dry land in your own country. The reality for Muslims today is not the same as it was for Jews in Illinois in the 70s, but very similar to what Jews faced in the 1930s, and the main culprit is, again, Christians...Muslims are suffering years and decades of violence brought to them by Christian nations and their lap dog, Israel...in THIS atmosphere, bringing an ex-Muslim to tell "the truth" about Islam is a further act of that war against them...it is USING the mantra of "free speech" to further persecute and spread hatred and fear about Muslims, something the Nazis were very good at doing against Jews. Don't forget that Hitler's main argument for wiping out Jews was that Jews were ATTACKING Christians and Christian values...that Germany was merely acting (preemptively) in order to PREVENT being wiped out by Jews. The Christians were VICTIMS and the Jews the AGGRESSORS. The same flip-flop nonsense is being preached today and that ex-Muslim's speech is part of the ongoing hatred and demonizing of Muslims, as it once was against Jews. It's interesting they don't invite articulate Muslims to give speeches....universities would NEVER allow that....free speech, anyone? Besides, an educated Muslim would waste his speech by trying to defend Islam as a religion, which plays right into the hands of Dawkins, Harris and Maher....rather than spend his time exposing Christian POLICY towards nations and people who only happen to be Muslim. Muslims do themselves no favors when they waste time defending Islam instead of attacking Christian history and POLICY. Malcolm X knew this...he didn't bother arguing that Blacks are as good as whites...he educated himself in what whites had DONE to Blacks...he exposed what whites were doing, not what Blacks should be treated as....and no white person dared go up against him because he knew THEIR history even better than he knew his own...and so they had to stop his speech altogether. --------------------- |
