Criticism of Islam to become illegal thoughout Europe?
Posted on January 15, 2007
The Germans have suddenly discovered a very modern use for their history:
“Germany intends to introduce a Europe-wide law banning the display of Nazi symbols and making denial of the Holocaust a crime to fulfil its “historical obligation” 62 years after the liberation of Auschwitz. Brigitte Zypries, the Justice Minister, will today outline plans to punish with up to three years in prison anyone in the European Union who publicly rejects the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews….
But there will be extra pressure from former Soviet-bloc countries for a ban on the provocative use of the communist hammer and sickle.
Ms Zypries will appeal to them at a meeting in Dresden today and tomorrow to build a European criminal code on racism and xenophobia. “We have always said it cannot be the case that it should still be acceptable in Europe to say that six million Jews were never killed,” she said. “There is some controversy about that under `freedom of expression’ but we believe that there are limits to freedom of expression, and the limits are there when it is offensive to other religions and ethnic groups.”
Britain maintains that its laws banning incitement to hatred provide sufficient cover… A British government spokeswoman said that a specific offence of Holocaust denial “would sit uncomfortably with existing freedom of speech legislation”, but did not dismiss the German plan.
The words “a European criminal code on racism and xenophobia” imply that “racism”, as they define it, will become a crime in Europe. And that means no more criticism of Islam. The words “other religions” above make that very clear.

Unfortunately I live in Europe, and the whole thing is getting out of hand. Not long ago they (fanatic muslims) used our kingdom’s freedom of speech to protest our freedom of speech!! Some people published drawings of Mohammed in a newspaper, and suddenly embassies and public building were lit on fire. Flags were burnt in the streets. Our constitutional freedom of speech was used, and is used, by fanatic muslims to protest against the very same thing, that’s right our freedom of speech! 30% of our capital’s population is now non-westerly.. Mosques are popping up on every street corner. At the same time they protest against church bells ringing on Sundays. Politicians continue to fasten the grip on free speech every day, making new laws and statutes. And why? In Europe the worst thinkable thing is to be called a racist. We have become so intellectual, and so huggie-feely over here that NO ONE dares to open their mouths to protest the open borders, the inundation of illegal immigrants claiming asylum well knowing that we can never send them back anyway because their countries are always at war, the travesty of the European Union embracing more and more rouge states who’s citizens are flooding across our borders just to get their hands on our socialist welfare systems.. and so on and so forth.. I give up, and that’s what this socialist regime want us to do..
Europe is dead, soon to be an Islamic kingdom. Please please dont let the US fall down the same well. Resist the insanity of liberalism and socialism. If it was possible I would pledge allegiance in a heartbeat, and leave this sorry place.

Last I checked, there was a very significant difference between racism and criticism. They are not synonyms.
Last I knew the Middle Eastern adherents of Islam were the same race as the majority of Europeans. That is Caucasian. I do not think reality has anything to do with the liberal mindset. Maybe they are taking too many drugs or there is something weird in the water in predominantly liberal areas.
For years I lived in a country where racism existed and I continually defended those discriminated against. The racial discrimination ultimately came down or shall I say it became racialism in reverse.
I left the country I loved hoping to find a new life elsewhere only to find that racism existed in my new found country only difference being that the politicians were the ones promoting it.
When will we learn that ethnicity is of vital importance for all in order to retain our distinctive cultures. Its sad when you see how children grow up no longer identifying with their heritage and not even being able to speak a language correctly.
Lets stop these politicians who force their compromised values on us.
How can criticism of Islam become illegal. It is the most despicable religion in the world, the Quran does not even mention love nor do their hadiths. It is also the most separatist religion in the world. Those who are part of Islam are accorded a higher level (accept for woman) than the infidel or kaffurs. What would you call that, equality, hardly? So much could be said about the evils of Islam but time and space would never allow it.
LOOKS LIKE THIS LAW ALREADY EXISTS IN THE U.K. MONDAY CHANNEL 4 T.V DID AN UNDERCOVER OP IN MOSQUES ACROSS ENGLAND IN WHICH THERE ARE THOUSANDS, THE THREATS, THE RACISM, ANTI DEMOCRATIC PLANS ALL LAID BARE, THROW HOMOSEXUALS FROM MOUNTAINS, JEWS WERE INSULTED BY WORDS THAT I REFUSE TO AIR MYSELF, TELLING HOW THEY MUST RULE US ETC ETC ETC,
WHAT GOT THE ATTENTION FROM THE MEDIA AND POLITICIANS EVEN A QUESTION LAID DOWN IN PARLIAMENT WAS BIG BROTHER AND IN MY OPINION A STUNT TO PUBLICIZE AN INDIAN ACTRESS A PAID TO APPEAR ACTRESS.
THIS STORY WENT WORLD WIDE THE NATIONS AIRTIME FILLED WITH THIS AND THIS ALONE. YET NOT ONE MINUTE GIVEN TO THE OUTRAGES THREATS TO THE BRITISH PUBLIC FROM PREACHERS OF HATE AND JIHAD AS THEY SAID WHEN WE BECOME STRONGER!
WE FULL OF RAGE UNARMED ARE EXPECTED TO BOW DOWN TO THE SCUM IN OUR MIDST…WE ARE TOLD WIN HEARTS AND MINDS!
AFTER KNOWING MUSLIMS I DOUBT THEY HAVE EITHER THEIR MAIN GAME IS ACT LIKE FRIENDS UNTIL THE KAFFUR SUBMITS.
I SHALL GO TO PRISON FIRST BEFORE GERMANS OR MUSLIMS WILL TELL ME WHAT I CAN SAY OR THINK!
