Islamophiles / Regressive Left - Liberal non-Muslims who are desperate to protect the Religion of Peace

[The_Truth]

The Pulse Nightclub shooting really is the strongest evidence of just how bat shit crazy the liberal left is.

The guy was on the phone with 911 pledging allegiance to ISIS and Islam while he was in the middle of gunning people down and these nutbags some how still managed to blame "fundamentalist Christians".

The left side is what Regressives think is "diversity".

The Afghani hazmat suit has a greenish tinge while the others are black. So maybe that's the "diversity".

Tell Salman Rushdi how "tolerant" Islam is. The author still has a sharia death sentence hanging over his head because in his novel "The Satanic Verses" he humorously portrayed Mohammed as having a gay relationship with archangel Gabriel.

The weirdest thing is this "gays against Islamophobia" stuff. In Cologne, there lives one Ali Utlu, a Turkish-German guy, who one day discovered he didn't believe in god and, even worse, felt attracted to men. The amount of threatening letters he got ("We will slice you open...") was large. When he criticized Erdogan on Twitter, the Gray Wolves (Turkish Neo-Nazis) paid him a visit -- huge, massive guys in gray suits -- and urged him to never criticize Dear Leader again, otherwise...! (I don't know what he did, I hope he notified the police.)

When she was a girl Ayann Hirsi Ali was forced to undergo genital mutilation including complete removal of her clitoris, she will never experience sexual pleasure in her lifetime something 99% of humanity takes for granted. This is the sort of barbarity these witless cretins are defending.

The ultimate hipster. Salmon Rushdie was being persecuted by Islam before islamophiles decided it was cool.

As I said in another thread recently... radical Islam wants to take away vaginas too. That's what genital mutilation is.

Said fatwa is also what lead to the unsolved murder of Hitoshi Igarashi, the novel's Japanese translator.

Well, what? Are you saying Islam is anti-gay?

 

[Hummingbird]

I wonder how many of these Islamophiles are deep down scared of evoking the religion's wrath given how a number the more extreme ones have acted.

Just to give a complete picture, this is what Muslim butthurt over The Satanic Verses led to:

• Salaman Rushdi being forced to live in hiding/under armed guard for years, which destroyed his marriage.
• The book's Japanese translator, Hitoshi Igarashi, was stabbed to death on July 11, 1991. The crime has never been solved.
• Ettore Capriolo, the Italian translator, was seriously injured in a stabbing in Milan on July 3, 1991.
  
• William Nygaard, the publisher in Norway, was shot three times in an attempted assassination in Oslo in October 1993, but survived.
  
• On July 2, 1993, 37 Turkish intellectuals and locals participating in the Pir Sultan Abdal Literary Festival died when the conference hotel in Sivas, Turkey, was burnt down by a mob of radical Islamists. Participating in the conference was Aziz Nesin, who had previously announced that he was going to get the book translated and published in Turkey. The mob demanded he be handed over for summary execution. The mob set the hotel alight when Nesin was not turned over. Nesin escaped the fire and survived.
• On February 12, 1989, six people were killed and 100 injured when 10,000 people attacked the American Cultural Center in Islamabad, Pakistan. They were protesting against Rushdie and his book.
  
• On February 13, 1989, one person was killed and over 100 injured in anti-Rushdie riots in Srinagar, Jammu, and Kashmir.
  
• On February 24, 1989, twelve people died and 40 were wounded when a large anti-Rushdie riot in Bombay, Maharashtra, India started to cause considerable property damage and police opened fire.
  
• The 1989 firebombing of the Riverdale Press: The offices of the Riverdale Press, a weekly newspaper in the Bronx, was destroyed by firebombs. A caller to 911 says the bombing was in retaliation for an editorial defending the right to read the novel and criticizing the chain stores that stopped selling it.

Oh, and by the way, it wasn't just Muslims who got butthurt. Even in the 80s, Islamophiles were there to defend the right of Muslims to get murderously pissed off over a book.

Jimmy Carter (C U C K):

''The Satanic Verses'' goes much further in vilifying the Prophet Mohammed and defaming the Holy Koran. The author, a well-versed analyst of Moslem beliefs, must have anticipated a horrified reaction throughout the Islamic world.

The death sentence proclaimed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, however, was an abhorrent response, surely surprising even to Rushdie. It is our duty to condemn the threat of murder, to protect the author's life and to honor Western rights of publication and distribution. At the same time, we should be sensitive to the concern and anger that prevails even among the more moderate Moslems.

Ayatollah Khomeini's offer of paradise to Rushdie's assassin has caused writers and public officials in Western nations to become almost exclusively preoccupied with the author's rights.

While Rushdie's First Amendment freedoms are important, we have tended to promote him and his book with little acknowledgment that it is a direct insult to those millions of Moslems whose sacred beliefs have been violated and are suffering in restrained silence the added embarrassment of the Ayatollah's irresponsibility.

This is the kind of intercultural wound that is difficult to heal. Western leaders should make it clear that in protecting Rushdie's life and civil rights, there is no endorsement of an insult to the sacred beliefs of our Moslem friends.

Roald Dahl (Come on man, I love your books )

Roald Dahl was even sterner. In a letter to The Times of London, Dahl called Rushdie "a dangerous opportunist," saying he "must have been totally aware of the deep and violent feelings his book would stir up among devout Muslims. In other words, he knew exactly what he was doing and cannot plead otherwise. This kind of sensationalism does indeed get an indifferent book on to the top of the best-seller list, — but to my mind it is a cheap way of doing it." The author of dark children's books and stories for adults (who himself once had police protection after getting death threats) also advocated self-censorship. It "puts a severe strain on the very power principle that the writer has an absolute right to say what he likes," he wrote. "In a civilized world we all have a moral obligation to apply a modicum of censorship to our own work in order to reinforce this principle of free speech."

John le Carré

While calling the death sentence outrageous, John le Carré agreed. "I don't think it is given to any of us to be impertinent to great religions with impunity," the spy novelist told The New York Times in May 1989. "I am mystified that he hasn't said: 'It's all a mess. My book has been wildly misunderstood, but as long as human lives are being wasted on account of it, I propose to withdraw it.' I have to say that would be my position." Le Carré elaborated in "Salman Rushdie: Sentenced to Death" (1990), a biography by W.J. Weatherby. At a time when the leading American bookstore chains refused to carry the novel out of concern for their employees' safety, "again and again, it has been within his power to save the faces of his publishers and, with dignity, withdraw his book until a calmer time has come," le Carré said. "It seems to me he has nothing more to prove except his own insensitivity." Le Carré also questioned defending the book on literary merit alone: "Are we to believe that those who write literature have a greater right to free speech than those who write pulp? Such elitism does not help Rushdie's cause, whatever that cause has now become."

It wasn't Mohammed. It was a dream sequence and the person having it was not Mohammed.

The reason for the Ayatollah issuing that fatwa is as transparent as the pastiche himself. Khomeini himself was personally mocked in the book.

Another person who signed on to that fatwa was the singer Yusuf Islam, whose "deadname" since he went trans-Islam, was Cat Stevens. Coincidentally, there is also a parody of a Western pop singer who went full Islam in the book.

The rage of murderous Islams at this book may be religiously motivated. After all, these stupid, illiterate, savage motherfuckers would never have read the works of an academically-inclined modern novelist who uses big words they don't understand anyway.

But the motives of the scum who incited this savagely murderous jihad against an innocent writer were definitely personal, and cowardly, and chickenshit. He stepped on their egos.

At the risk of sounding really edgy, has any religion at all contributed anything other than mindless killing within the past century if not longer? It breaks my trve-leftist heart to see people defending organized religion, and the atrocities committed on their behalf.

To be fair, I wouldn't call the militant homophobia displayed by Islam to be left-wing.

Religious people and organizations are among the biggest contributors to charity, as this list of the largest U.S. charities shows. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of health care services in the world.

Religion is a tool. A hammer can be used to bash someone's brains in, or it can be used to build a house for a homeless person. Much the same way, religion can be used for good or for bad. Even though this thread is criticizing hardline Islam and the people who defend it, devout Muslims have done a lot of good. For example, Abdul Sattar Edhi was one of the greatest humanitarians who's ever lived (seriously, I really recommend reading about him, the man was a legend).

But we are better than them because we are not hypocrites who pretend to oppose it while actually desiring it.

Right! Like when it happened on Facebook I saw more bitching about the westboro Baptist Church protesting than about the man doing it for isis. Like yes the WBC is retarded and I do not agree with what they do but they didn't kill anyone and as much as I don't like their speech they do have 1st amendment rights

In the most recent century? Maybe you mean the 20th and the part of the 21st we're already through.

But yes, I'll enlighten your euphoric ass a bit. The Catholic Church, Judaism, a ridiculous number of Protestant denominations, have donated fucktons to charities, and not much toward random murder. The Hindus do an okay job too. Buddhists are also generally not known for terrorism.

There's one religion that seems to have a very, very big history for screaming things while blowing themselves up along with anyone near them. It's called Islam.

Like yes the WBC is exceptional and I do not agree with what they do but they didn't kill anyone and as much as I don't like their speech they do have 1st amendment rights

But it's their culture to strap bombs to themselves and murder a bunch of children!

But how dare these other people say MEAN WORDS?

More than that I saw them argue that the *real* issue in relation to that was gun control.

So you're saying if someone says to everyone they know they want to kill a bunch of people that maybe "let's not sell them a bunch of guns" is a radical idea?

technically islam is the furthest right wing so theyre unintentionally right

 

[Strange Looking Dog]

I love that meme frog is hate speech, but calling for the death of an author is perfectly fine. Real good consistency.
