O OCIDENTE FACE AO ISLÃO - CRÓNICAS DA AMEAÇA QUOTIDIANA
Aconselho a leitura do sempre actual e pertinente Jihad Watch e seu anexo, o Dhimmi Watch. Dhimmi, é o termo árabe que se aplica aos não muçulmanos que vivam submetidos pela lei islâmica, de modo a que «se sintam subjugados»(Sura 9:29) - e aplica-se plenamente a muitos dos «ocidentais» pró-islâmicos que cedem a todas as investidas da tropa mafomética.
Saliento um artigo sobre a perda de liberdade na Holanda, onde Geert Wilders, político conservador anti-islâmico, tem de andar escondido no seu próprio país, bem como um texto descrevendo a acção de propaganda dos camaradas da Liga Norte que se manifestaram contra a entrada da Turquia na União Europeia, e, também, um resumo de um relatório sobre o crescimento do descontentamento dos Europeus relativamente ao Islão..
E, agora, também do Dhimmi Watch, um artigo que deve ser lido na íntegra, para se perceber melhor o modo como os muçulmanos e seus «dhimmis» temem que a verdade sobre o Corão seja conhecida pelos Ocidentais:
"How can it be vilifying to Muslims in the [court]room when I am just reading from the Koran?"
I wonder how long it will be before they come for us. I hope some of you will visit me in prison. More on the outrageous Australian religious vilification case verdict. From CNSNews.com, with thanks to Nicolei:
"The frightening thing is, so-called 'hate-crime' legislation is very much in vogue in Western democracies and will be coming soon to a Senate or Congress near you," Jeff King of the Washington-based group International Christian Concern said in response to the ruling.
King said the case was "a classic example of the results of well-meant but terribly flawed legislation."
Dr. Gordon Moyes, a prominent Australian theologian and state lawmaker, was one of many critics who said Higgins' decision was essentially a ruling against freedom of speech.
"It is a basic human right to have the ability to decide whether and what religious faith one may adhere to," Moyes said. "This also involves the critical examination and assessment of belief systems in general."
Australian Christian Lobby head Jim Wallace also slammed Higgins' finding, saying it presumably meant that Australians would be unable to quote from another religion's texts and discuss them without legal repercussions.
People have always been free to publicly debate the Bible, but this decision seems to indicate that this same freedom does not extend to other religious texts," Wallace said. "This decision means that a person can not hold a view of the Koran that is contrary to the 'official view' -- however one determines that."...
Critics pointed to what they saw as several ironies in the case.
One was the fact that the Pakistan-born Scot was one of the early victims of his homeland's notorious blasphemy laws in the mid-1980s. He fled Pakistan under threat of prosecution for allegedly insulting the Islamic prophet, Mohammed, and made a new home in Australia, a Western democracy with a strong Christian heritage.
Another irony was seen when Scot during the tribunal hearing quoted references from the Koran and other texts about the inferior status of women in Islam, he was asked by the female lawyer acting for the ICV to give only the references, because reading the verses out aloud in the courtroom constituted vilification.
"How can it be vilifying to Muslims in the [court]room when I am just reading from the Koran?" Scot asked the tribunal -- a question observers said basically could have applied to the entire case.
That episode suggests that the whole case was decided before it was tried.

É só para o avisar de que hoje (20/12) e amanhã (21/12) vai dar, na RTP1, às 22h15m hoje, amanhã por volta da mesma hora, "O Anel dos Nibelungos", baseado no épico Germânico que inspirou Richard Wagner.

E, faltou-me dizer, o programa a seguir é a reposição de "Shakleton", sobre o Explorador que realizou a primeira travessia da Antártida.
Imperador
Correcção: Shackleton, e não Shakleton, como eu escrevi.
Imperador
Correcção: afinal, apesar da Celebridade, Shackleton nunca chegou a terminar a Travessia da Antárctida, não porque não fosse fácil - Amundsen chegou facilmente ao Polo Sul e, se tivesse, de facto, mantimentos desde o Polo até à contra-costa como foi deixado para Shackleton, tinha conseguido realizar a Travessia - mas porque o clima naquele ano esteve pior.
