‘Christchurch Muslim leader urges calm over video
“Calm”? Kiwis have been calm to the point of comatose over it. So why the headline?
A Christchurch Muslim leader is calling for calm after he received a threat in the backlash over a controversial video mocking the prophet Mohammed.
Aaaah..the dreaded backlash against peaceful muslims, eh. Funny, how these “threats” are almost never substantiated….
….The video, Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of protests and violence around the world for its portrayal of the prophet Mohammed as a womaniser and paedophile.
No, the video didn’t trigger anything–it’s simply another case of the religion of the Perpetually Aggrieved seizing any excuse available.
…The reaction hit closer to home when Muslim Association of Canterbury chairman Imam Monir Elfarra received a call at the Christchurch mosque from a person threatening to burn Islam’s holy book, the Koran.
….Elfarra feared the situation could inflame both “ignorant” Muslims and non-Muslims in this country.
The only “inflaming” so far has been caused by islamist thugs. And imams using the situation to extort further special considerations for their ideology.
…..The reaction from Christchurch Muslims to the video was anger and disappointment. He condemned the United States-made production and urged the New Zealand Government to do the same.
That’s right..urge the NZ Government to condemn the exercise of free speech. And the pack of spineless poodles will no doubt oblige.
“The Minister of Ethnic Affairs should say, ‘We condemn these things, they are wrong and should not be done’, but at the same time we, as with any other faith, should support peace before we support violence.”
…..If we do our job, there will not be [protests]. If the Muslim community and government officials stand together, it will never happen.”
See the agenda here? And the veiled threat? The government’s job is to “stand together” with muslims, and enforce MUSLIM views on free speech. This, despite the fact that it’s muslims who are rioting, muslims who are killing and burning, muslims who react to any slight with violence and intolerance. No mention at all, by the way, of the countless islamist videos showing infidels being beheaded in the name of *spit* allah….. The truly depressing thing about this Fairfax shit is that Western politicians will fall over one another in their rush for the KY and a cushion for their knees.
UPDATE: ‘MUM of young boy who held up beheading sign at protest march will not be charged, police say. ‘
But Christian pastors who merely quoted (accurately) from the koran were charged with and convicted of hate speech in Victoria. We already have two-tier “justice”.
