CENSORSHIP!


WE IN THE WEST HAVE ENTERED THE AGE OF CENSORSHIP! MUSLIMS HAVE COME TO LIVE HERE AMONGST US, THEY REFUSE TO INTEGRATE WITH US AND LIVE ACCORDING TO OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS. INSTEAD, INITIALLY, THEY WISH TO INTRODUCE ISLAM-FRIENDLY LAWS, AND THEN THERE WILL BE ONE BIG PUSH TO INTRODUCE SHARIAH LAW. BUT DON'T YOU FORGET THIS: THEY DEMAND TO BE RESPECTED! WE MUST ALL NOW GIVE UP OUR FREE SPEECH AND FREE EXPRESSION - A RIGHT WHICH MILLIONS HAVE DIED FOR SO THAT WE MAY ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES - TO REVERE THEIR PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND HIS BENIGHTED RULES!

BY THE WAY, MANY OF THE CARTOONS OF THE PROPHET WERE ERASED AS WELL AS THE IMAGE ABOVE (NOT OF THE PROPHET - IT WAS AN IMAGE OF A MUSLIM CALLING FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT ISLAM TO BE BEHEADED!), AND AS WELL AS THE CARTOON OF MUHAMMAD WITH A TURBAN SHAPED LIKE A BOMB THAT HAD BEEN PLACED IN THE SIDEBAR, AND ALL WERE REPLACED BY A BANNER SIMILAR TO THE ONE ABOVE. WHY HAS PHOTOBUCKET CENSORED THIS SITE SO HEAVILY, I WONDER? IS IT, PERHAPS, BECAUSE I AM STATING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM?

ONE CAN BUT ASK ONESELF IF THIS REACTION IS BECAUSE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, BECAUSE OF FEAR, OR SIMPLY BECAUSE THE COMPANY IS OWNED, OR PARTLY-OWNED, BY MUSLIMS. ARE THE TENTACLES OF ARAB MONEY CLOSING IN ON THE WEST, PERCHANCE? ARE WE ALREADY REAPING WHAT WE HAVE SOWN?

FEAR NOT! I SHALL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BRING YOU THE CARTOONS OF THE PROPHET. IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU WISH TO VIEW THEM, PLEASE CLICK HERE: MO PARODY.

Judahq and Mark, Perhaps you should rethink this matter. To be classified as a moron, you need to have an IQ of at least 50.... Well, what do you think? Do they make it??????

Mark,
I was online tonight and serendipitously came across this,(see link below) which sent shivers up and down my spine. This is so evocative of the statements made by the Islamists right after 9/11. Seemed like something you would be interested in.

Muslims At Ground Zero


and, as long as I'm at it, here's another:

Time for a cartoon post…


I think he is spot-on in his assesssment. Not only in the possible smokescreen he refers to, but in the larger goal of the nutcase president of Iran. That being, HASTENING, facilitating and ushering in the reign of the 12th imam or Mahdi.

Is this a farfetched scenario? What do you think?

leelion said...

You know Mark you couldn't make this stuff up. That "behead those..." sign is darkly funny. Sometimes I just despair and don't know what to think. Lee

leelion said...

Mark, is that "Behead those.." sign for real? It's so mad I'm wondering.

Mark said...

Lee:

Yes, I'm afraid to say it really is for real!

To our Western and civilized ears, it sounds like a joke. To their Eastern and uncivilized ears, it sounds normal!

Believe me, Lee: It's no joke. We have let the barbarians in, and now they are trying to bring us down to their level.

It's the same phenomenon as when too many dopey kids are brought in to a class of high achievers: The dopey under-achievers sully the achievements of the good pupils.

This is what will happen as a result of these barbarians in our midst. Unless, that is, the West wakes up and kicks them out. Deportations are the ONLY answer, I'm sorry to have to say. They will never change. Their behaviour is dyed in the wool.

Don't forget this: Rome was brought down in no small part because of the barbarians within!

Mark said...

Mussolini:

The only idiots apologizing for Islam are infidels!

Isn't that the truth!

"Moderate" Islam = total fantasy.

Yip! It's up there with Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Mark said...

Heather:

Please forgive me, but are you sure you've given me the right link?

I can't comment on it because I do not see reference to it. Duh! I'm a little confused. Clarification, please.

Mark,
I guess it was a little obscure. I was trying to convey the fact that the president of Iran is a fanatic and has used this controversy to serve his own ends. Not just as a smokescreen to divert world attention from building nuclear weapons, but also in his obsession with hastening the return of the Mahdi, or 12th Imam.

Preparing for the Mahdi

The President of Iran is indeed a fanatic. A fearful, frightful fanatic at that!

I have no doubt in my mind that he has fanned the flames of the cartoon war.

Anyone who believes, as he does, in the Mahdi and his return is bound to be very suspect in the eyes of an 'infidel'. Not even the Sunnis believe in this. Actively hastening the coming of the Mahdi is breathtakingly stupid!

The West needs to deal with this fanatic before the fanatic deals with the West!

We are living through very dangerous times. One must ask oneself this question: With thinking such as this, how long can we avert a third world war (if, indeed, it hasn't already begun)?

Mark said...

Eyesallaround:

Yes, isn't it amazing? What's going to be censored next, I wonder?

They come to our (once) free countries to relocate, and instead of our insisting that they abide by our laws, we are forced to abide by theirs! Upside down justice, or what?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect more of this. Much more!

Mark said...

Mussolini:

You can hear the wolves braying, getting closer.

"Hate Speech" laws are being introduced in several countries now - the latest, Canada.

A big effort is on to silence the truth.


The braying of the wolves is audible, and quite loud, already. It will soon be deafening. Why? Because we have dealt with this problem so badly from the start. Nobody has had the courage to stand up and tell Muslims you are welcome to live in our countries only if you abide by our laws. If you are not, then you are welcome to leave NOW.

We already have "hate speech" laws in Europe. The funny - and very sad - thing is that they only seem to apply to infidels! Muslims can display all the hate they wish to. Witness the placards asking for the heads of infidels who do not respect Islam and their prophet.

With censorship, the truth will be silenced by default. Truth is always goes by the wayside when censorship kicks in. This is why the lies of Islam have been allowed to proliferate in Muslim countries. Nobody dare utter the truth for fear of losing their lives. Is this the scenario we can expect here in the West from now on?

With this push comes the subsequent cover-ups of all things Islamic. Muslims will be free to engage in the most extreme violence.

The western press will only be able to say "unknown assailants."

This is yet another step along the deteriorating path. Just going to get worse.


Oh, Mussolini, how right you are! Things will be covered up alright. In fact, they are already being covered up. Notice how long it took for the American media to make anything of the 'cartoon war'. The MSM here hushed it all up for as long as they could.

I am staying here in the US at the moment, and I couldn't help but be amazed by how long it took the MSM to report on the 'cartoon war' raging in Europe.

Yes, you're probably right about the "unknown assailants", too. It will surely become an offense to say that the assailants were Muhammadans.

Things will surely get much, much worse.

Meanwhile, I'm still in a state of shock about someone having the audacity to remove images without even asking me to remove them myself! And it all happened here in America - the LAND of the FREE!

An ominous sign, or what?

Always On Watch said...

So PhotoBucket has taken down your cartoon graphics? Censorship, plain and simple!

Would PhotoBucket have done the same with the Piss Christ image? I wonder.

Today, images are offensive. How soon will it be before WORDS AND BLOGS THEMSELVES are offensive and, therefore, removed?

Remember how ABC fired Michael Graham last summer? He's got an even better job now, but that's not the point. The fact is that CAIR saw to it that the man was let go for his "Islamophobic" statement.

You ask a good question here:
BECAUSE THE COMPANY IS OWNED, OR PARTLY-OWNED, BY MUSLIMS

If your site could be so easily censored, what does that day about how far we've come?

Let's look at Dr. Anis Shorrosh's TWENTY-YEAR PLAN FOR USA: ISLAM TARGETS AMERICA, originally published in 2002:

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un-American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims...[I edited this one a bit to fit the topic of this particular blog article]

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam....


IMO, what PhotoBucket has done to your site is a form of intimidation. Yes, I know that private companies have the right to control their sponsored content. But something of much graver consequence is at stake here!

Somewhere in the blogosphere, just the other day, I saw another placard carried by an offended Muslim: "Freedom of expression is Western terrorism."

Mark said...

Yes, AlwaysOnWatch, Photobucket has taken down many of the images. Shocking, isn't it? I'm aghast that such a thing could happen here in the US - in the LAND of the FREE! But free for how much longer, I wonder?

I have no doubt in my mind that Muslims have a twenty-year plan for America, and the weak, cowardly politicians are letting the execute their plan, too. (Witness Al Gore yesterday in Jeddah!) Politicians like to line their own pockets: we all know this. The thickness of the lining is clearly more important to them than saving our superior civilization!

Yes, Muslims will continue to appeal to the compassion and sensitivity of Americans (and Brits and Europeans) to further their own agenda. When will we learn that we are being put upon? When will we learn that we are being taken for a ride? Go and see just how much compassion Muslims in Islamic lands show to infidels! And observe just how sensitive they are to our needs, to our religion. This one-way street is a disgrace!

...what PhotoBucket has done to your site is a form of intimidation. ...something of much graver consequence is at stake here!

Yes, I agree, AOW. The consequence of this is not just the fact that images have been taken down, it's the ramifications of such actions which worry me.

What will be next? As you said: When will they be censoring our words, and bringing down whole blogs?

All this doesn't augur well for the future of the West, I can tell you. I have lived and worked in Islamic countries with strict censorship laws: To put it mildly, life isn't very pleasant!

It is very chilling when it happens to you, isn't it?

Victor Davis Hansen has an excellent article in NRO, "Losing Civilization". He says:

"Years ago, the death sentence handed down to Salman Rushdie was the dead canary in the mine. It should have warned us that the Western idea of free and unbridled expression, so difficultly won, can be so easily lost."

Jason Pappas said...

I had noticed that one of the four Danish cartoons went missing on my blog but I thought it was a software bug. After all, why one? However, you seemed to be singled out and most likely by a complaint from a disgruntled Muslim or groveling Dhimmi.

It might be time to take our business elsewhere. I know “Atlas” did that at one point because she couldn’t stomach dealing with Goggle (who runs blogspot.)

Mark said...

Heather:

Yes, it is "chilling" when it happens to you. It sent me into a tailspin! I was frothing at the mouth!

This is a very bad sign for us all. Eternal vigilance is indeed the price of freedom, as Thomas Paine's famous saying goes; and it really is true.

Isn't funny that the liberals are so fond of freedom in some respects, yet they are so ready to give it away?

When the Salman Rushdie story broke, I was in the ME. I said at the time that the UK's response to the Ayatollah was inadequate. It simply wasn't enough to protect the author. Thatcher should have sent a stern message to the Ayatollah that this was totally unacceptable, and contrary to the principles of a Western liberal democracy, and that it certainly wouldn't be tolerated. Alas, much to my dismay at the time, her 'iron' was a little too soft to stand up for the concept of freedom of expression.

Her reaction was simply too little, and probably a little too late.

This whole scenario is becoming ever more redolent of Animal Farm!

Here are some links about muslim control of the media:

Saudi Prince Buys Fox News Headline


AIM Report: Radical Arabs Seek Influence Over U.S. Media


Here's a better link to the picture I tried to post earlier;

Check out this cartoon


For some reason The American Daughter blog will not link directly to this post, but goes to her front page instead.

I tried many times to figure out how to do this but couldn't so I found the same picture on the web today.

Isn't it nice that they get to practice free speech?

Mark said...

Jason:

It's quite likely that it was simply removed because it was found to be objectionable. It wasn't done so subtly in my case.

You may well be right: It could well have been brought about by a complaint from a Muslim; or, as you say, from a grovelling Dhimmi.

The funny thing was this, though, Jason: One of the most objectionable ones - Muhammad as the Devil - was left in tact! How peculiar is that?

So many were taken off that I thought it better to take them all down. I shall have to look for a way to get them back up there despite Photobucket.

I could create a page on Librabunda, and direct people to that page. Unfortunately, however, I am here in the States at the moment, and my software version - Freeway (the software I used to build the site) - is not compatible with any of the computers I have had access to till now. (That's why there are still some Christmas decorations up on the homepage. I simply have no way of removing them at present.)

But when I get a chance to change things, I shall do something like that. Unless, of course, I have found a solution before then.

Maybe you're right. Perhaps it is time to take our business elsewhere. But under a certain amount of usage, the service is free anyway; so it is difficult to complain.

Abbas said...

aah you pigs are still barking!

Mark said...

Heather:

Frightening, isn't it? And what are our leaders doing about all of this? Nothing!

Thanks for the links. The first one doesn't work, unfortunately. The other two are very interesting.

Yes, Heather, isn't it an irony that they come to the West to practise their right to free speech whilst all the while they are trying to gag us. The hubris of it all!

And they've got the nerve to call us pigs! Duren, on this blog, seems to love the word 'pig'. He's got a fixation about it.

I'm sure you are familiar with the expression: It takes one to know one! :-)

Mark said...

Manuel:

Aren't they sickening? They, of course, are the real ones.

As you said: They should try the succulent meat of a pig sometime. Their prophet has barred them from much pleasure in life. As you and I know, it's like good wine, it cannot be beaten! What would life be without pork and bacon, and without a goodly drop of fine wine?

You know as well as I do that they have a preference for camels! Camel's flesh, camel's milk, etc. Camels, of course, have many other uses besides! Or so they tell me! :-)

If I were US prez for one day, Duren and all his ilk would be surrounded by a warm, radioactive glow.

:-) :-) :-) How could anyone put it better than that?

Mark said...

Manuel:

Don't misunderstand me. I am sure most of us want peace. People would rather have peace than war.

I am not misunderstanding you at all. I, too, want peace. Who in his right mind doesn't? But there comes a point when we have to say enough is enough. That's what happened in 1939. There came a point when we had to say thus far and no further.

We must face the fact that there is a great divide between our cultures, and that Islam has no intention of finding a middle ground.

There is indeed a great divide between our cultures. They've got their way; and we've got ours. There can be no meeting of the minds, so to speak; because, as you say, they have no intention of finding a middle ground. It's their way or no way!

...you are dead on when you say that separation is the best way. Europe has to remain a "Christian Club". The US must not cave in to Islamic groups like CAIR. The west should boycott all Muslims.

Yes, with separation, there will be some hope of peace. The clash of cultures is coming about because we are ignoring the necessity of a healthy separation.

It is a fact of life that some people are better apart. This can happen even in families. If two brothers or two sisters argue incessantly, then it is far better for the both of them to separate. Then the both of them can live in peace.

Under no circumstances should Turkey EVER be allowed into the EU, for if it is allowed in, then it will be curtains for our Judeo-Christian culture - a culture which has brought Europe so, so much.

If the Turks are allowed in, then they will have achieved by peaceful means what they failed to achieve militarily.

Are we really going to be that stupid?

Always On Watch said...

I was going to respond to Duren, but I see that Manuel has already done so. LOL!

Way to go, Manuel!

And, Mark, I love your comment too.

Mark said...

Ric Ottaiano:

totally outrageous and cowardly...the more we bend to this demagoguery, the more we will see of it...

Well, this is the problem. And nobody seems interested in changing tack. It's incredible!
