This ain't good - The United Nations wants to take control of the Internet

The Russian Federation is leading the charge for a UN treaty which would give national governments control over the Internet.

The UN itself wants the ability to impose Internet taxes to be applied from wealthier countries to poorer ones. Free speech, as always, is being threatened by the world forum whose membership includes a number of totalitarian regimes threatened by their inability to censor criticisms of their government or impose blasphemy regulations.

To give you an idea of what's in store, the UN's conference on International Telecommunications is set to take place next month in Dubai, on of the undemocratic United Arab Emirates.

If you live in a democratic country, pray your government has the wisdom and sanity not to ratify the treaty on your behalf.

Canada's Official Opposition to introduce Bill outlawing blasphemy against Mohammed and Jack Layton

OTTAWA - In the wake of protests by Canadian Muslims insulted by a YouTube video mocking Islam's prophet Mohammed and comments by Conservative MP Rob Anders about the New Democratic Party's former leader who is worshiped as a deity withing his party, Canada's Official Opposition announced plans to introduce a Bill outlawing blasphemy.

"The Supreme Court has ruled that there are limits to free speech in Canada" said Opposition House Leader Nathan Cullen,  "and surely insults to divine figures like Jack Layton and the Prophet Mohammed cannot be accepted in civil society."

Opposition Leader Thomas Mulcair was quick to clarify that the proposed Bill would not impose new  restrictions on rights Canadians already enjoy. "These blasphemy regulations will not curtail Canadians' right to insult Jesus, Christianity, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religions beside Islam and the deities and prophets they hold sacred. But just as you cannot shout fire in a crowded theater, it is now globally accepted that insults to the Prophet affect his followers in a way that inevitably leads to murder and violence."

NDP Deputy Leader Libby Davies explained why Jack Layton is to be included as a protected figure withing the blasphemy Bill.  "Obviously the right wing neo-Cons like Rob Anders learned nothing from the death threats Christie Blatchford received following the blasphemous article she wrote about Jack days after his death", she stated. "Jack is sitting in heaven with the Prophet Mohammed where the two are now dear friends, and they are both furious at the posthumous insults they are expected to endure. Obviously stronger measures are needed and legislation is the only way to appease their fury."

Penalties in the proposed legislation would be beheading for a first offense, with subsequent infractions punishable by compelling the offender to listen to children's entertainer Raffi sing his rendition of Jack Layton's deathbed letter.

Coren stirring it up at the anti-blasphemy protest

My pal Michael Coren was out in the thick of things at the anti-blasphemy protest on Saturday in front of Toronto's US Consulate. He got some great footage that tells the truth about what went on there that mainstream news like CBC, CTV, The Toronto Star and others disgracefully sanitized in their coverage.

Another Arab Spring Triumph - Egyptian actor sentenced to prison for "insulting Islam"

The sentence Wednesday evening came weeks after Islamists swept most seats in a parliamentary election. The case was brought by Asran Mansour, a lawyer with ties to Islamist groups, and had languished in court for months, judicial sources said.

Mansour accused the actor of offending Islam and its symbols, including beards and the Jilbab, a loose-fitting garment worn by some Muslims, the Egyptian news portal Ahramonline reported.


Does anyone remember that attention-seeking airhead who wanted to bring an Arab Spring to Canada? She should consider going to Egypt to experience the real thing.

Another "Arab Spring" triumph: Egyptian Christian on trial for posting Mickey Mouse with beard on twitter

The "offending" cartoon

The Central Cairo Prosecution has referred Coptic businessman Naguib Sawiris to trial over charges of defamation of religion.

In June, Sawiris posted a picture depicting Mickey Mouse wearing a beard and Minnie Mouse wearing a face veil on his Twitter account, a cartoon that many Muslims considered offensive.

100 years ago, L'Inferno, an Italian silent film based on Dante's work and inspired by the art of Gustave Dore was released.

In it was a scene that contemporary filmmakers would be fearful to make, depicting the suffering of Islam's founder, Mohammed, in Hell.

Pakistan becomes beacon of religious tolerance!

A Pakistani court only gave life sentences, instead of the usual death sentence, to two men convicted of blasphemy.

That makes them practically a liberal democracy (for an Islamic republic).

It's hard to make "the religion of peace" argument when stories like this keep coming out

From The Express Tribune -

PESHAWAR:   A prominent cleric on Friday offered a reward of half a million rupees for executing Aasia Bibi, a Christian woman who was sentenced to death by a court on charges of blasphemy.  

Maulana Yousaf Qureshi, the Khateeb of the historic Masjid Mohabaat Khan in Peshawar, offered a Rs500,000 reward for anyone who kills Aasia, Online news agency reported.  

Qureshi also warned the government against any move to abolish or change the blasphemy law. 

“No president, no parliament and no government has the right to interfere in the tenets of Islam. Islamic punishment (according to Muslim jurisprudence) will be implemented at all costs,” said Maulana Qureshi.  

“We will strongly resist any attempt to repeal laws which provide protection to the sanctity of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” Qureshi is reported to have told a rally. “Anyone who kills Aasia will be given Rs500,000 in reward from Masjid Mohabat Khan.”  

“We expect her to be hanged and if she is not hanged then we will ask the mujahideen and the Taliban to kill her.”
