A recent pick does a fairly good job of wrapping up the Wilders/free speech situation in the UK -<BR/><BR/><B>Shouting fire in a theatre - A video montage of the Geert Wilders debate </B><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4dxE8hhNuA&feature=channel_page<BR/><BR/>At the end of the video, Lord Pearson explains why he supported inviting <BR/>Geert Wilders to show his film FITNA thusly:<BR/><BR/><BR/>@ 4:31 "What Baroness Cox and I are trying to do is promote discussion, <BR/>particularly amongst the vast majority of the mild Muslim population who <BR/>have really got to start discussing what the Qur'an means amongst <BR/>themselves and against their co-religionists who perpetrated everything <BR/>you saw in that film {FITNA}. So, which way around is the hate? Is it <BR/>'us' that hate 'them'? Or, is it 'them' that hate 'us', and why? <BR/> <BR/><BR/>"The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in FALSELY shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic" - Justic Oliver Wendell Holmes<BR/><BR/>Dialogue or Censorship? - Make your choice. <BR/><BR/>www.ukip.tvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-62748081321209307682009-02-14T13:27:00.000+00:002009-02-14T13:27:00.000+00:00CW,I hope that's true.

At first his rants are all about just religion in general. But then he slowly started focusing in on Islam. I think he realized that we have much more to worry about from Islam than all other religions combined.Citizen Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265844262699107352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-4711870075089035032009-02-14T03:13:00.000+00:002009-02-14T03:13:00.000+00:00Anyway, back to Condell;I haven't spent much time ...Anyway, back to Condell;<BR/><BR/>I haven't spent much time watching Condell's videos which are critical of Christianity. <BR/><BR/>Here's the thing, I am a Christian, but I am well aware of the fact that there are a lot of Christians who have idiotic beliefs. I go to a church which is not like that.<BR/><BR/>And, I read a lot of Catholic writings, stuff by Weigel, Ratzinger, etc. and First Things magazine.<BR/><BR/>The world I live in is not occupied by dumbass Christians. And, I don't spend much time reading the news either, believe it or not.<BR/><BR/>I studied Philosophy and Literature in college. My thought tends towards the abstract.<BR/><BR/>The only reason I concern myself with the Jihad is because it pierced the arty, bizarro bubble world I lived in on 9/11. And then, when I started seeing the rise in anti-Semitism, I began to believe we were in for another worldwide conflagration.<BR/><BR/>So, Condell is not really on my radar. His mission does not cross paths with mine, except at the intersection of Jihad and Western Civ.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if this fucking war would ever end, I would just go back to reading poetry and listening to Miles Davis.<BR/><BR/>That's pretty much all I've been doing lately. You may notice I don't write much anymore.<BR/><BR/>I'm sick of this subject. But, I feel compelled to get the information out.<BR/><BR/>Thank God for MR and Epa and all the others who are so prolific here at IBA.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-55530689916135843392009-02-14T03:05:00.000+00:002009-02-14T03:05:00.000+00:00Well, I don't really care if a person insults Chri...Well, I don't really care if a person insults Christianity. But, I do care if a person makes it their mission to get rid of Christianity. <BR/><BR/>I don't think that's Condell's mission.<BR/><BR/>Charles Johnson, for instance, is not trying to destroy Christianity, though a lot of Christians are angry with him over the Evolution thing. What Charles is trying to do, from what I can tell, is to shine a light on the anti-rational idiocy that is being promoted in churches across the United States. He is particularly concerned with the Christianist attempt to legislate Intelligent Design into school curriculums. <BR/><BR/>I think that is a legitimate concern.<BR/><BR/>From my perspective, it seems to me he spends an inordinate amount of time on that subject. It seems to me the Jihad is a much bigger deal. <BR/><BR/>But, we all make our choices, right?<BR/><BR/>I guess his perspective is that, if we don't preserve a strong sense of the Scientific Method in our American schools, we won't have an advanced society anyway, so why put the fight against Islam first?<BR/><BR/>My opinion is, these Christianists are not going to win the fight anyway. But, what do I know?Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-65906701817107566162009-02-14T02:59:00.000+00:002009-02-14T02:59:00.000+00:00Pastorius,Truth be told I don't think that you and...Pastorius,<BR/><BR/>Truth be told I don't think that you and Pat Condell would get along, but you would definitally agree on Islam, and he would probably love the Infidel Bloggers Alliance.Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691850040385670009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-7510447751537218472009-02-14T02:37:00.000+00:002009-02-14T02:37:00.000+00:00He is great.
