EugeneDebs, you’re obviously a woman so under the future of Islamic Law we all face, I’m gonna save time and ignore you now.

Mr. Logic, just so I don’t offend you let’s play a game and not mention any of those bad words like “RACES” or “RELIGIONS”. I’ll call one group of people group X and another group of people group Y. Group X has enjoyed a certain identity for a couple hundred years. All of a sudden group Y comes along and says, I’m going to use the laws of group X’s land against them so that I can do whatever I want wether they like it or not. Now you know it ain’t human nature for group X to just say, hey move on in buddy and do what you want. To quote Lee Armey, “Hell I like you, you can come over to my house and #### my sister!” You’re probably in denial about this concept, but think about the time you got your 1st black neighbor, or the Vato Loco Lowrider Chicano in the grocery store line with you, or the time you had your fat dubbage in your jean pocket with a cop standing 10 feet from you. You felt like your ways and your space were about to get violated. Sorry to offer you an opposing view in this MOST CERTAIN LIBERAL HAPPY WEBSITE. You guys are so “tolerant” of other views.

First of all, you’re twisting things, it’s the “supporters of “Radical Islam”" who are bring cases to “silence” folks, they’re not being silenced..

Secondly, as for actual cases…

“The Ehrenfeld/Mahfouz Case: How “Libel Tourism” Undermines the First Amendment and, in the Internet Age, Compels An International Solution”

“Ehrenfeld’s book Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed – and How to Stop It, published in 2003, claimed that Mahfouz is an al Qaeda financier. He is adamant, however, that he has nothing to do with al Qaeda. If he is right, one can hardly imagine a more damaging allegation. He has used, or threatened to use, the British courts dozens of times to sue writers and publishers who have claimed such a connection. ”

This case, sparked the drive for protective legislation, now moving through Congress.

For another case..

The Noxious Fruits of Hate Speech laws

“I’ve written several times before about the oppressive, dangerous hate speech laws which are common — increasingly so — in both Canada and Europe, whereby the Government is empowered to punish as criminals citizens who express offensive or otherwise prohibited political views.” – Glen Greenwald

You can fuss over the views of who’s bringing the issue up, but “Libel Tourism” is getting out of hand, snice the internet is basically allowing you to be sued -anywere- in the world your writing might be read..

I dont DO requests MORON. Look we get that you are stupid and cant really say anything anyone would waste their life taking seriously but do try to maintain some level of coherence. Someone as patently ignorant as you will of course find that hard to do. You babbling is not clever in fact someone as stupid as you is never going to BE clever. Clever is reserved for those of us with the capacity for higher brain function and we both know that is just not in your future. Face it you were born stupid and you will die stupid and your life is an unremitting march of your stupid. Not my problem

Obvious obviously doesn’t seem to have any bearing on you.

You are a bigot, thanks for playing. Pulling the moral superiority card out and proclaiming another culture with a different socialization brainwashed is no way through life. Unfortunately there seems to be no hope for you. Just do the world the biggest favor you can.

Make like your namesake and get yourself into the loony bin.

As to paragraph 1: Thank you Captain obvious. Did you know water was wet?

P2 You are a bigot. Thanks for playing. Stupid, bigoted and brainwashed is no way to go through life. Save yourself now.

I think we’re all in for a real treat in the future with ISLAM. For once we’re going to get to see the Unlimited Potential a focused group of people can bring to a society. They will make us a much stronger and better structured society. Things should really flourish once we all get on the right path and embrace it. No more kids wearing saging pants, no back talk from our women, no more fighting in the Middle East with our brothers, finally some decent respectful music, no more stealing. I’m gonna go and get my copy of the Koran today since everybody seems to now know what our leaders know. Resistance is futile!

It is highly misleading to label this an anti-Islamist conference. The conference is titled: “Libel Lawfare: Silencing Criticism of Radical Islam.” The subject is how some supporters of Radical Islam are using the courts to silence their critics. There have been similar conferences on how the Church of Scientology allegedly uses “lawfare” to silence its critics.

So who are the supporters of “Radical Islam” and what court cases have they brought to bear against those wishing to “silence” them?

Let’s see…from the site:

Islamists have launched a two-pronged effort to suppress free discourse on such subjects as Islam, radical Islam, terrorism, and terrorist funding:
* By filing predatory lawsuits.
* By passing “hate speech” and defamation laws.
Victims of these “lawfare” attacks have included the famous and the obscure, politicians, journalists, analysts and plain citizens.

This inhibition has great consequences, for when discussion of Islam and terrorism are limited, radical Islam is empowered and Western civilization is imperiled.

Issues to be discussed on May 19 include: A close analysis of Islamist methods; the possible need for legislation to protect free speech on these topics; a comparison of the situation in Europe and the United States; and ways to prevent the United Nations from curtailing discussion of Islam.
_________________________________________________________
Please note CFP, that the whole outline of the event pretty well conflates Islam in general with terrorism. They also don’t actually seem to name any of the victims of the “lawfare” either famous or obscure. Don’t parse things up and claim that the post’s headline is misleading. You’re being dishonest.

Has it occurred to these people that this kind of behavior also works to recruit more extremists? That they are not working toward a peaceful ending of violence but fanning the flames of it?

YEAH right, I think Specter had a moment of clarity.

I am over due for a tune up…

… Resetting rant/rage levels for the day. :/
