Denial fo the holocaust? One doesn’t have to have an old army uncle that walked into Aushcwitz(sp?) All an honest man has to do is look at this irrational hatred of the Jews that is growing across this entire planet today to understand that the death camps existed because of hatred and we are probably back on the same track today with the acceptable hatred of Jews, Catholics and religion in particular – not withstanding, the acceptable rejection of (radical) Islam

Humoring the extremes

A month ago JoshuaPundit questioned the wisdom of President Bush naming an envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference. After noting some previous antics of the OIC, JoshuaPundit writes: This is the racist, anti-American group our president legitim…

Perhaps we should sue for the Islamic stance of Democrophobia. I do not consider Islam to be a religion but a Political Ideology and therefore not protected by any religious privilege law. What defines a religion? Surely an essential is true belief but if there is any form of coercion or threat involved, such as death for apostasy or enforced dress, then there can never have been true belief because every member of that ethos will always have known of that threat, Ergo this is not a religion by definition. There is an attempt to undermine us by using their enforced doctrine against our free society which loosely defines religion.We need to ensure that one of the legal definitions of a religion is that it totally ABJURES force or coercion of any kind in recruitment and retention of members or in any of its practises.Our benign society has made us lambs to the wolf and we need to tighten up our legal protection or become prey.

could Doug please document the statement “the Polish government itself admitted that the gas chamber at Auschwitz is a fake and that they built it themselves.”?

If it is Free Speech to denigrate Mohammed and the Muslim religion, why shouldn’t it be Free Speech to question details of the Jewish Holocaust?

David Irving was imprisoned for a year for stating that the gas chamber shown to tourists at Auschwitz was built after the war. He made this statement about a year before the Polish government itself admitted that the gas chamber at Auschwitz is a fake and that they built it themselves.

Others are jailed for doing simple math. When WWII ended the claim was that 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. Of that 6 million, 4 million were killed at Auschwitz. Now Auschwitz claims less than 1.5 million people killed, but the official figure of 6 million is still considered sacrosanct. Anyone who hasn’t failed basic math knows that if 4 – X = 1.5, then 6 – X = 3.5, not 6.

If the religion of the Israelis cannot be questioned or denigrated, why cannot Muslims expect the same consideration for their religion? If the West truly believes in Freedom of Speech, why are people being put in jail for questioning details of the Holocaust?

It’s very telling that Muslims are so hot under the collar about people mocking their religion when they’re certainly not one of the biggest victims. Look at how Christians are treated by hipsters in America; degrading Jesus and the Bible is a national pastime now (even for some ‘progressive’ Christians), and I think we take it pretty well. In contrast, they see a few cartoons and blow up (sometimes literally). Their immune systems have broken down, so to speak, because of their isolation from religious criticism.

Well, Harry, that is exactly why these Muslim leaders want to shut down any disrespctful comments about Islam. As for expecting Muslim countries to reciprocate and end the vicious propaganda they put out against Judaism and Christianity, fuggeddaboutit. The Muslims have the idea that Islam is privileged, and no scummy dhimmis should be allowed to diss Muhammed, Islam, the Qur’an, or any of the backward customs maintained by so many Muslims, like female circumcision, chador, polygamy, or murderous raids on non-Muslims or Muslims of the wrong flavor of Islam (e.g. Darfur).

Americans (even if they are not religious) are going to have to learn the language of religion if they hope to defeat Islam. We are entering a battlefield of ideas. Islam in its current manifestation is political, but it gets its strength from religion. As a religion goes, it is evil. I would bet that many people, while instinctively realizing that it is an evil religion because of the practices of its adherents, could not explain why the religion as a conceptual framework is evil.

Allow me to give an example. In every religion that has any central figure as a God, adherents tend to take on the characteristics of that God. This is a natural progression of the religion, since if you are worshipping another entity, whatever it might be, you must admire that being. In Islam, Allah (Islam’s God) is merciless. This is based on his description in the Koran. This also is in spite of the constant insistence by Muslims that Allah is merciful, as he goes around ordering everybody to be killed. As Muslims take on the characteristic of Allah, they too are unmerciful. While this deserves a lot more attention, the result is that Islam fails on two levels. The God of Islam is not a Supreme Being, but a miserable creature more reminiscent of someone like Satan. Also, being a Muslim does not make you a better person.

By the way, Allah is definitely not the Christian God.

YES indga and harry as Thomas Paine once wrote:
“There are cases which cannot be overdone by language, and this is one. There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; they solace themselves with hopes that the enemy, if he succeed, will be merciful.It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we ought to guard equally against both.”
