I missed yesterday’s episode of ‘The Michael Coren Show’, but thanks to SDAMatt2, I was able to watch this segment and listen to the discussion of “Everybody Draw Holocaust Day”… Urgh…
and…
As SDAMatt2 said in his description of the video, this is very much “Everybody Deny The Holocaust Day”. The Anti-Defamation League has been following this trend of anti-semitic hatred/Holocaust denial in the Middle East, pointing not only to the denial of the basic facts, but to the applauding by Arab of the extermination of the Jewish people under the Nazis. This is the same with the hatred of the United States, as the very people who deny the September 11th attacks, claiming that it was the work of the American government, are the same people who applaud the actions of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The fact that we have this “Everybody Draw Holocaust Day” when “Everyone Draw Mohammed Day” wasn’t promoted by the Jewish community demonstrates to me just how intolerant many of these Islamic extremists are. How does anyone even defend, let alone condone this kind of nonsense?
Monte Solberg makes the point that the reaction to “Everyone Draw Mohammed Day” by North American Muslms is troubling, and I couldn’t agree more. It isn’t surprising that those who live under totalitarian Muslim regimes would be upset with anything we do in the West, but the fact that those who have moved to Canada and the United States haven’t accepted our ways and made efforts to assimilate. Tarek Fatah highlights this “threat from within” by quoting a study which says that thirteen percent of Muslims openly admit that if the “Toronto 18″ are convicted for plotting a terrorist attack, that the terrorists were justified in their actions, with five percent wishing that the plot has succeeded. Take in mind that this is just those radical enough to openly admit their belief, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t think those numbers weren’t significantly lower than the real percentage. While this is a minority within the Muslim community, it is far larger than we are told it is. I would honestly like to see how the Muslim community responds to “Everybody Draw Holocaust Day”, and see if this “silent majority” will dismiss this nonsense as inflammatory or simply ignore it as they have done with “Israeli Apartheid Week”.
While I didn’t see any reason to participate in “Everyone Draw Mohammed Day” myself, especially considering how offensive and inflammatory some of the drawings were, I do believe that making such a political statement was important after all this censoring that had been going on lately. In response to the response to the censorship, Islamic radicals have demonstrated not only their intolerance, but their hypocrisy. Why should they have the right to deny the freedom of speech of others while preaching this bigoted nonsense? It doesn’t belong in our society, nor does it belong in any civilized society… Pathetic…
UPDATE: What would this post be without a report, or something very similar to one, which helps explain it? Loganswarning posted on this story, posting the summary for this Facebook event…
The difference is that you draw Lies about Muhammad and we draw Truth about you. That you seek to bring unrest and conflict, and we wish to uncover the reality so injustice is no more
We are here to reflect about the foundational myth of the secular cult. A cult which has delivered human kind the biggest genocides recorded in history:
From the tens of millions massacred by the Atheist Soviet regime, to the other several millions wiped off the face of the earth by the hand of the Western secular fanaticism in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iran, and an endless list of nations who have suffered the arrogance of Man over God.
Much of the injustice that takes place in our world stems from ignorance. We reject being emotionally blackmailed by Hollywood tales and holocaust museums which legitimize the war crimes and crimes against humanity of the extremist Atheist regime of Tel-Aviv.
Seems rude? Or insulting? Or immoral? Actually it doesn’t matter. Because the secular brand of Freedom of Speech never cares about any of the above. Right? Today I learned my lesson. Never be quiet. You have to be intensely speaking out insulting to people, even innocent ones. Is that how freedom goes?
It seems that they want to practice ‘Freedom of Speech’ not for bringing up any kind of logic, but to insult a person who is not even present to defend himself. Ok. Lesson learned. Thanks for your “morals”.
I know who they are. They are the ones who do not care that you are Muslim, Jew, Christian. They want religions and morals to be wiped off from the face of the earth. The only things that they care about are power and money and “The Zionist state of Israel”. Their excuse is Holocaust.
Now, I have a simple question for you guys. Am I as free as you? May I practice my Freedom of Speech too?
Let’s research critically about the Holocaust then.
Research this critically? It has been researched critically. University courses that cover the Holocaust go into detail about how the “Final Solution” was reached, how , at the Wannsee Conference senior Nazi officials decided the fate of millions of Jewish people. All the gruesome facts are known, and the only discussion these bigots want is one that allows them to preach their nonsensical belief in denying the Holocaust ever happened. This isn’t about a discussion about faith, this is hatred of the worst kind of hatred…
Bigotry isn’t critical thinking, it is an expression of hatred, an abuse of freedom of speech, and not welcomed in our society… Pathetic…
