THE BATTLE TO DEFEND free speech against Islamic attempts to snuff it out is stirring in the Netherlands. The outcome of this case will affect the whole world. "Anti-Islam lawmaker appeals hate speech charges," from The Associated Press today.
An Associated Press newspaper in Amsterdam has reported that "a right-wing lawmaker says he has asked the Dutch Supreme Court to halt his prosecution on hate speech charges for anti-Islamic remarks. Bigot alert. Here we have a Dutch newspaper using the code "right-wing" to smear one of its own legislators. AP thus semaphores to its readers that Wilders is evil, not to be trusted, not to be supported.
But what century are we now living? Except in totalitarian regimes of which there are many examples, there is nothing "right wing" about supporting the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law against Islamic supremacism.
Geert Wilders says the remarksincluding labeling the Qur'an a "fascist" work and calling for it to be bannedfall within the realm of normal discourse and his prosecution threatens his right to freedom of speech. In March 2008, Wilders released the film "Fitna," which juxtaposes Quranic verses with violent film clips and images of terrorism by Islamic radicals....
Those "Islamic radicals," of course, are the ones who actually connected the Qur'an with violence. But it isn't they who have aroused the anger of the Islamic world. It is only Wilders, because he is an Infidel who has dared to speak out against this religiously sanctioned violence.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NO SHARIA HERE! DEMOCRACY NOT THEOCRACY!
These are the rallying cries that people all over Europe are shouting far and wide to Islamists both within Europe and in other countries who seek to impose Sharia law upon European citizens.
It is not only to Muslims, who seek to expand Islam across the whole of Europe, that Europeans are saying "Enough" it is also to our politicians who connive with Islamists to establish Sharia law by stealth. From building regulations to burial rights, the majority of Europe's population is increasingly expected to adhere to Sharia law.
"Hate" laws now make it a crime to speak out against Islam even though it is just another totalitarian political system.
Our free speech, which has been gained over many centuries by defeating tyrannical regimes through many bloody wars, is now being removed solely to protect Muslims from being offended. Nobody has the right to not be offended.
SIOE is a Pan-European movement determined to not merely stopping the surreptitious Islamisation of Europe, but reversing it.
The first step in this reversal is a march comprising people, from many European countries, all demanding that all non-Islamic European nations remain non-Islamic and a halt to encroachment of Sharia law.
To those of you who don't have a clue what this is all about, you have now heard about it here, first. Now, you, along with all the appeasers and nay-sayers, allies and co-conspirators, I suggest you get informed. Don't take my word. But sharia, if not stopped first, is coming to a neighborhood near you. It may already be there, lurking in the shadows. It may arrive in the heat of night next month. Next year. Or ten years down the road. But it's coming.
And all the wishful thinking in your liberal or conservative, obviously good intentioned mindset will not change this fact. The warning signs are everywhere. But you must make a choice. Ignorance of the world in which you work and play will not save you, or your loved ones from the terror of sharia once it takes root. You must arm yourself with the facts.
The Augur (pl: augures) was a priest and official in ancient Rome. His main
role was to take auspices: interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of the birds (flying in groups or alone,
what noises they make as they fly, direction of flight and what kind of birds they are), known as "taking the auspices."
The ceremony and function of the augur was central to any major undertaking in Roman societypublic or privateincluding
matters of war, commerce, and religion. In the context of global unrest in my generationI am sometimes peace activist, but more often an entrenched war correspondent.
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed;
if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the
moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
"There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope
of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves."
Winston Churchill, 1948
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.
Who knows the greatest enthusiasm, the great devotion and sends himself into a worthy cause. Who at best, if he
winsknows the thrill of high achievement, and if he failsat least fails while bearing greatness. So that his
place shall never be, with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Today the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself.
Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power
of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be
Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power."
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1950
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the
use of a barbarous people, it wasand it remainsincapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever
it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.”
Andre Servier, 1922
“Islam is an absurd theology of an immoral Bedouin, a rotting corpse which poisons our lives."
Kemal Ataturk, 1919
"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers".
Tayyip Erdogan, 2007
"I have been made victorious through terror."
Muhammad, founder of Islam
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Omar Ahmad, founder of CAIR
"Ignorance and virtue suck on the same straw."
Icarus Tull, 1984
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance.
If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant,
if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the
onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed,
and tolerance with them… We should therefore claim, in the name
of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim
that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law,
and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal,
in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping,
or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”
