More Pressure on Geert Wilders to Submit
PEDESTRIAN INFIDEL: Geert Wilders can find no broadcaster for Fitna. What's more, the Nieuwspoort press center is demanding 400,000 euros ($800,000 US $) for additional security if Geert wanted to hold a press conference when he releases Fitna on the internet.



Now, a renowned news journalist Henk Hofland called for Geert's Dutch security to be stripped away so the Muslims can have an opportunity to kill him. And Unilever and other corporations are doing the full court press to stop Wilders.



Such dhimmitude is certainly a bad omen for the Netherlands. I hope Fitna is 
released and the world can see the truth but the West has great enemies, not only the Muslims but the dhimmis who serve them. More Pressure on Geert Wilders to Submit >>> By John Sobieski

Wilders’ Film: The Ultimate Conclusion
KLEIN VERZET: ... from the current Wilders/Fitna drama is drawn by Josée van Iersel on Hoeiboei (NL).

Fitna will not be shown on TV in the Netherlands, and through the governments demand that Wilders' PVV shoulder the cost of secutity [sic] of "De Nieuwspoort" a public screening in the Netherlands will in all likelihood not happen.

Well, fellow Lowlanders - as of today it has become officially impossible to show a film critical of islam [sic] anywhere in the Netherlands.

As of today anyone who dares to nonetheless will be an outlaw - the Dutch government has officially confirmed that she no longer will guarantee [sic] the inviolability of her inhabitants, when and if they argue, show or fight that which foreigners want to be left unknown and uncontroversial for the sake of their ideology. An ideology no Netherlander needs, an ideology which they unanimously abhor and which they would show no respect whatsoever were they to take the trouble of educating themselves about it and not follow blindly the mendacious cliches used by the bien pensant to close the matter.

[...]

As of today the highest authority is not the people of the Netherlands by way of a mandated Government, but it is the international ummah...

We have become a de facto integral part of the islamic [SIC] world, because in allowing islam [sic] to force us into unheard of and inconvenient caution - that would only be justified in a case of open war - and because of dispicable [sic] and ignorant cowardice we have handed them what sovereignty we had left. And there'll be no-one who will lose any sleep over this tonight.

Mohammed über alles... and the West is his slave.

And that, as they say, is that. The Ultimate Conclusion (Comments Welcome)

Multiculturalism Kills; Cartoons Don’t
Kurt Westergaard’s cartoon of the prophet Muhammad courtesy of Google Images
FAMILY SECURITY MATTERS: Marked for death, his life will never be the same. He and his wife move constantly under police guard. Kurt Westergaard did what he was told: he drew a cartoon of Mohammed for his employer, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. He had no idea that by doing so he would have to spend the rest of his life hiding from Islamofascists who want to kill him. Watching him being interviewed on Danish TV, it occurred to me that Westergaard’s situation symbolizes the utter failure of multiculturalism. Most Europeans still don’t get it and neither do most Americans. They still insist that we all tolerate a culture which pledges to destroy our own. Westergaard’s interviewer epitomizes smug, multicultural ignorance.

Westergaard’s cartoon depicted Muhammed with a bomb in his turban because he wanted to show “that there are terrorists who get their spiritual dynamite or their spiritual ammunition from Islam.” Radical Muslims proved him right as they rioted across the realm of Islam. His Danish interviewer asked if he felt responsible for a hundred riot deaths. “I see the riots as something which was staged by some governments in some badly managed countries,” responded Westergaard. They were staged because governments in Muslim countries want to divert popular attention from their failure. “But that is not my responsibility,” he concluded, and he’s right of course.

Annexation Austrian-Style

SPIEGELONLINE INTERNATIONAL: When the Nazis marched into Austrian on March 12, 1938, hundreds of thousands of Austrians turned out to welcome them. But after the war, the country preferred to see itself as just another of Hitler's victims.

Suddenly, events began moving in fast-forward: It was 10 minutes to eight in the evening, March 11, 1938, when Austrian chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg took to the radio to address his people. He bade them farewell with portentous words: “God protect Austria.” Annexation Austrian-Style >>> By Marion Kraske

Churches Ask Wilders Not to Show Film
NIS NEWS BULLETIN: UTRECHT, 13/03/08 - The Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) has appealed to MP Geert Wilders not to broadcast his Koran film. "Would it not be a proof of real freedom if you decided not to show the film?" the PKN asked rhetorically.

PKN represents the protestant churches in the Netherlands. Its Secretary General Bas Plaisier invites Wilders to show the film privately at the PKN head office in Utrecht so that they can enter a debate with him if the film is offensive.

"We will watch the film with respect for you and your convictions and discuss the content of the film with you," Plaisier writes in the protestant opinion magazine Centraal Weekblad. "It is possible that all the commotion is unwarranted, and if so, we will say so honestly. But if your film could hurt people and put many thousands of people around the world in danger, will you then reconsider your intentions?"

Plaisier says the church "does not properly understand" what Wilders is trying to do. "Have you ever considered not making use of your freedom to say what you think? Would it not be a proof of real freedom if you decided not to show the film? We would esteem you for this." [Churches Ask Wilders Not to Show Film]

'Islamophobia' a Threat to World Security, Say Muslim States
AFP: DAKAR (AFP) — The world's Muslim countries warned Wednesday that an "alarming" rise in anti-Islamic insults and attacks in the West has become a threat to international security.

The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) called on Europe and America to take stronger measures against 'Islamophobia' in a report prepared for a summit of the group's 57 members in Dakar on Thursday and Friday.

The report by a special OIC monitoring group said the organisation was struggling to get the West to understand that Islamophobia "has dangerous implications on global peace and security" and to convince western powers to do more.

Islamic leaders have long warned that perceptions linking Muslims to terrorism, especially since the September 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda attacks on the United States, would make Muslims more radical.

The West must understand that "the war against terror cannot be successful without the support of Muslim countries," said the report.

OIC leaders have expressed renewed concern following events such as the publication in Denmark of cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammed and a plan by the Dutch far-right MP Geert Wilders to release a film calling the Koran "fascist".

The OIC said Islam had faced constant attacks since it was created "but in recent years the phenomenon has assumed alarming proportions and has become a major cause of concern for the Muslim world."

The monitoring group called on Europe and North America to do more, through laws and social action, to protect Muslims from threats and discrimination and prevent insults against Islam's religious symbols. 'Islamophobia' a Threat to World Security, Say Muslim States >>>

An Islamic Perspective: The Danish Cartoons of Muhammad of Arabia
AL-JUMUAH BULLETIN: Muslims regard the Holy Prophet Muhammad[,] peace be upon him (pbuh)[,] as the most excellent model of virtue and dignity in the history of mankind. And thus these images are utterly offensive to any Muslim and indeed to any person who cares for the feelings of others. Testifying that Muhammad (pbuh) is Allah’s servant and Messenger is part of the first pillar of Islam. The Prophet is supposed to be the dearest person to all Muslims. Following his teachings and loving him, attracts Allah’s love. Defending him against any ill intentioned persons earns one [entry into] Paradise. Islamic history reveals that about eight companions were martyred in the battle of Uhud in the course of defending their beloved Prophet (pbuh). Renowned companions like Abu Huraira and Bilal preferred keeping the company of the Prophet (pbuh) to enjoying food. It is also common knowledge to Muslims and sincere Jews that Muhammad (pbuh) was the last Prophet of God. [Source: Al-Jumuah Bulletin]

Clinton Supporter Defends Obama Race Remarks
REUTERS: WASHINGTON - The only woman ever to be on a major party's U.S. presidential ticket on Wednesday stood by her comment that Sen. Barack Obama is ahead in the Democratic race for the White House because he is black.

Geraldine Ferraro, a Democrat who ran for vice president in 1984, said his campaign's reaction had backfired and divided the party. Ferraro is supporting Obama's Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, for the November election.

"My comments have been taken so out of context and have been spun by the Obama campaign as racist that it's doing precisely what they don't want done -- it's going to the Democratic Party and dividing us even more," Ferraro told ABC's "Good Morning America" in an interview.

She ignited a flap by telling a California newspaper that "if Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position."

"And if he was a woman he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept," Ferraro said.

Ferraro told ABC she was "absolutely not" sorry for what she said.

"I believe that," she added.

She said she had fought discrimination for 40 years. "My concern has been over how I've been treated as well and hurt >>> By Donna Smith | Wed Mar 12, 2008

International Tension Grows over Wilders’ Film
DUTCH NEWS: International pressure on the Netherlands over the controversial anti-Koran film by Dutch MP Geert Wilders is growing, despite the Dutch prime minister’s reassurances in parliament on Wednesday that Europe and Islamic countries are appreciative of the active stance taken by the Dutch government on the issue.

On Wednesday Reuters news service reported that Iran's deputy foreign minister said the Netherlands has the power to stop Wilders from screening the film about the Koran which has already sparked protests in the Muslim world.

‘The Netherlands is responsible ...they can stop it,’ Mahdi Safari told Reuters, urging the Dutch government to invoke the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Freedom of speech should not stretch to allowing Wilders to offend the rights of others, he added.

‘If such a man will insist on this it is irresponsible for the world and society," Safari told journalists at a briefing after meeting Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen, reports Reuters.

Both Safari and Iran's ambassador to the Netherlands Bozorgmehr Ziaran said they could not predict the reaction of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims to the film, or prevent possible violence. ‘Why would you expect us to control 1.2 billion Muslims when you cannot control one person,’ Ziaran is quoted as saying. He added Wilders sought to violate Muslim's rights by demonising them, and was a war-monger and troublemaker. International tension grows over Wilders' film >>> | Wednesday 12 March 2008

French security forces arrived on the scene and forcibly dispersed the crowd, the report said.

The protest led by Palestinian demonstrators, outside Le musée de la resistance was a dissonant note in a lengthy visit during which Peres was mostly warmly welcomed. Protesters to Peres: Eliminate Israel >>>

French Court Backs Magazine, Charlie Hebdo, over Prophet Cartoons
REUTERS: PARIS - A French court on Wednesday upheld a ruling in favor of a magazine that published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, rejecting an appeal by a Muslim group which said they incited hatred of Islam.

The cartoons, published in the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in February 2006, originally appeared in a Danish newspaper five months earlier.

They provoked violent protests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East in which 50 people were killed. Several European publications reprinted them as an affirmation of free speech.

"These caricatures, which clearly target a fraction and not the whole of the Muslim community, do not constitute an insult or direct personal attack against a group of people because of their religion and do not breach the limits of freedom of expression," the court in Paris ruled.

The decision was the culmination of a long legal battle over the cartoons.

A lower court ruled last year that the cartoons fell into the category of freedom of speech and did not constitute an attack on Islam in general.

Iran Warns Dutch Lawmaker’s Anti-Koran Film Will ‘Breed Violence’
FOX NEWS: THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Iran warned on Tuesday that an anti-Quran film by a maverick* right-wing Dutch lawmaker would "breed violence" and said the Dutch government could ban it based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party, has said he plans to air the film this month, though no date has been set. The government says it is powerless to ban the film before seeing its contents and is wary of breaching Wilders' right to freedom of expression.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari cited the 1948 Human Rights declaration's 29th article that individual rights may be limited in the interest of respecting other people's freedoms and "meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society."

Wilders, known for his anti-Islam rhetoric, says the film will depict the Quran as a "fascist book" that can be used by extremists to incite violence and which preaches the oppression of women and homosexuals.

"Freedom of speech is not unlimited," Tehran's ambassador to the Netherlands, Bozorgmehr Ziaran told a small group of reporters at the Iranian Embassy. The film, he added, "would just breed violence."

Saudi Women Make Video Protest
BBC: Saudi women's rights activists have posted on the web a video of a woman at the wheel of her car, in protest at the ban on female drivers in the kingdom.

Wajeha Huwaider talks of the injustice of the ban and calls for its abolition as she drives calmly along a highway.

She says the film was posted to mark International Women's Day. Thousands have viewed it on the YouTube website.

The last such public show of dissent was in 1990 when dozens of women were arrested for circling Riyadh in cars.

Last year, Ms Huwaider and other activists circulated a petition which was sent to King Abdullah urging him to lift the ban.

In the three-minute clip, she at first drives around a residential compound where she notes that women are allowed to drive because it is not a public road.

But about halfway through, without comment, she executes a left turn onto the main highway and proceeds to drive along it in defiance of Saudi law.

"Many women in this society are able to drive cars, and many of our male relatives don't mind us driving," she says in Arabic.

"I hope that by next year's International Woman's Day, this ban on us will be lifted," she concludes. Saudi Women Make Video Protest >>>

For God’s Sake, Save This Poor Man and Put Him Out of His Misery!
To send Mehdi Kazemi back to the barbarism of Iran, back into the hands of the cruel Ahmadinejad would be nothing short of a crime.

We allow all sorts of unsavoury characters into the European Union, so many of whom are illegal immigrants, and so many of whom turn against the state by becoming terrorists and working to undermine the system. This man is harmless. He just happens to be attracted to people of his own sex. Whatever one’s feelings about homosexuality, only an extremely cruel system would send him back to Iran to face his death. And a horrendous one at that! This poor man needs protection, and he needs it NOW.

This man will not turn into a terrorist. He is merely trying to pursue his own happiness. All people, regardless, should have the right to do that. - ©Mark

”“I cannot stop my attraction towards men. This is something that I will have to live with the rest of my life. I was born with the feeling and cannot change this fact but it is unfortunate that I cannot express my feeling in Iran. If I return to Iran I will be arrested and executed like my former boyfriend.” - Mehdi Kazemi

TIMESONLINE: A gay teenager who faces being hanged if sent back to Iran is a step closer to being forced to return today, after the Netherlands followed Britain in refusing his appeal for asylum.

Mehdi Kazemi, 19, came to London to study English in 2005 but says he later discovered that his boyfriend had been arrested by the Iranian police, charged with sodomy and hanged.

He claimed asylum in Britain, saying that he feared for his life if he returned. However, his case was refused late last year, so he fled to the Netherlands.

A Dutch court today, however, ordered him to return to Britain, leaving the teenager once again facing deportation.

DAILY EXPRESS: Forced marriages are not a culturally sensitive issue but an abhorrent act, a Tory Muslim peer has said.

Baroness Warsi, shadow minister for community cohesion and social action, has called for such marriages to be treated as crimes to send a clear signal that they are intolerable. 



She said the same arguments had been previously used to tackle domestic violence.



Speaking on GMTV programme, she said that society had realised that domestic violence was not a taboo subject and that what was needed now was for the state to step in to give protection against forced marriages.
