When my talk was announced recently, the “virtuous” progressives call a critic a bigot. They did not produce a single fact, but said that a leftist group claimed that I was one of the chief Muslim bashers. Which is very odd since I don’t talk about Muslims, just Mohammed and Allah. I am an opponent of political Islam, not Muslims.
They charge me with presenting a “slanted” view of Islam, which is true. Three different views of Islam are demonstrated by the reaction to the day that Mohammed beheaded 800 Jews. Muslims see it as a day of victory; apologists see it as just another historic event. My view is that of a Kafir – beheading the Jews because they said that Mohammed was not a prophet – was an evil act. If you speak about Islamic political doctrine the apologists say you are a bigot.
A clergyman weighed in to say that I do not appreciate the vibrancy of Muslim culture. He is right. I only care about political Islam. I would hope that he would care about the brutality of Islam about Christians in Africa and the Middle East, but he is silent about that evil.
A community college president said that I should be forbidden to speak. This is symptomatic about schools becoming centers of ideology, not fact-based reasoning.
Why all of the insults? It is the only weapon of the ignorant.

Фанатик, расист, ненавистник, исламофоб.
Когда недавно было объявлено о моем выступлении, “добродетельные” прогрессисты решили изменить свою обычную грязную тактику. Они не представили ни одного факта обо мне, но сказали, будто какая-то левая группа утверждает, что я являюсь одним из главарей ненавистников мусульман. Это весьма странно, потому что я не говорю о мусульманах, а только о Мухаммаде и Аллахе. Я противник политического Ислама, а не мусульман.
Они обвиняют меня в том, что я даю “скудное” представление об Ислама, что является правдой. Весь Ислам показал себя, когда Мухаммад казнил 800 иудеев. Мусульмане считают это днем победы, апологеты видят в этом просто еще одно историческое событие. Мое мнение, мнение Кафира: обезглавить иудеев только потому, что они сказали, что Мухаммад не был пророком – это акт дикости. Но стоит вам заговорить об исламской политической доктрине, как апологеты начинают утверждать, что вы фанатик.
Священник решился сказать, что я не ценю динамизма мусульманской культуры. Он прав. Меня заботит только политический Ислам. Я хотел бы надеяться, что его заботит жестокость Ислама в отношении христиан в Африке и на Ближнем Востоке, но он умалчивает об этом зле.
Директор общинного колледжа сказал, что мне следует запретить выступать. Это симптоматично для школ, которые становятся центрами идеологии, а не рассуждения, основанного на фактах.
Зачем нужны такие оскорбления? Они являются единственным оружием невежд.

But these sub-par desert tribes represented a revolutionary barbarism - one so heinous that anyone who studies it in any depth begins to believe that Evil really is an entity. We have not evolved to deal with it; if anything, the repeated slaughters have left us weaker and dumber.
Islam is akin to a spirochete which eventually kills its host, but not before it leaves an individual with his brain eaten out in the tertiary phase. In many places where Islam has a deep hold or a wide influence, that tertiary stage seems to have been reached. I hope I am wrong, but if they keep slaughtering the courageous and the intelligent, do we not actually lose ground?
...I'm no less heartsick, but at least now I can bear it a bit better. As Viktor Frankl said, we can bear anything if we know the reason WHY...
Thank you...

You are much better than cheese, I want to clone you and sell you as rat bate. Just your head will do, keeping true to tradition because you bring out all the rats that live in and around us. I see and I hope all others will eventually see, with you as bate, we do indeed have an infestation.
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Article 12.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
However, the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI) is a declaration of member states of which reaffirms the inequalities inherent in Islamic law.
Where the apologists for Islam fail, is that they believe that they can both support the UDHR and the demands of a religion that opposes the UDHR.
The principle is that the UDHR allows for freedom of worship but not freedom to contravene the UDHR.
Oriana Fallaci said: "You can believe in rocks as long as you don't throw them at me" which makes the same point.
Will keep you in our payers. God be with you.
