James Delingpole on free speech:

‘Barely has the year begun and already the battle lines have been drawn with the Enemy plain in view.
Either you’re on the side of Katie Hopkins – in which case you’re one of the good guys who, seventy-five years ago would have been fighting the Nazis, and two and a half thousand years ago would assuredly have been with the Greek city states at Salamis.
Or you’re not, in which case you’re with Xerxes, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hun, and Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and the rest.
And yes, it really is that simple.

….We want to live in a world where everyone is free to say what they like, regardless of how much offence one or two braindead, culturally indoctrinated, kill-joys choose to take because their half-baked, dumbed-down education has persuaded them that that is the reaction they’re now supposed to have. Once that freedom is lost, it’s game over. So whether you like Katie Hopkins or you hate her be damned grateful for what she’s doing.  While you sleep safely in your bed at night, she’s out there standing in the pass at Thermopylae telling the Persians just how small their willies are…’           link
Her crime? Calling the Scots “Jocks”
Yes, really.

‘Muslim Leaders in Australia Say Banning Terrorism Will Ban Islam

They have a point. It’s just usually one that they aren’t willing to admit in public. The Jihad comes from the Koran. Every act of Muslim violence that is religiously sanctioned, from terrorism to rape, is derived from the Koran. If you ban incitement to violence against non-Muslims, you criminalize the Koran.
…It’s not a double standard. Australia is trying to prevent terror attacks on its own soil. Muslim leaders insist that banning terrorism will outlaw their legitimate right to kill Jews and promote the murder of non-Muslims for “legitimate” reasons.’..’

Now, PM Abbott, about that “tiny minority” of murderous muslims you were talking about after the Martin Place murders….tell us again how it was a lone nut-case, nothing to do with islam the “religion of peace”.
Update:       Francis Porretto has more to say on the subject and he says it far better than I could.

The Islamisation of Britain

The Gatestone Institute has produced a comprehensive review of the growth of Islam and Islamism in Britain during 2014.
…”Britain remains the world’s leading recruiting ground for al-Qaeda.” — Con Coughlin, Daily Telegraph.
…..When she sought help from the police and a lawyer, “the family of the defendants were insulted that she had gone to the law. They wanted her back within the family fold… Therefore, it was decided that she should be forced to comply or be killed.” — Prosecutor of Ahmed A-Khatib, who murdered his wife for becoming “too westernized.”
….British school teachers are afraid to teach their students about Christianity out of fear of offending Muslims. — Roger Bolton, BBC Radio 4’s Feedback program.
…..Rather than taking steps to protect British children, police, social workers, teachers… and the media deliberately played down the severity of the crimes [of Muslim sexual grooming gangs] in order to avoid being accused of “Islamophobia” or racism. — From the report “Easy Meat: Multiculturalism, Islam and Child Sex Slavery.”….’
To assume – or hope – that Australia and New Zealand are somehow immune to this happening is madness. Unless we become more widely aware of the problem and force that awareness into the public arena, the islamisation of our countries is inevitable.
Europe isn’t host to some uniquely malignant type of muslim – the malignancy lies in the ideology itself, the lies and evasions of our “leaders” notwithstanding.
