Islam, as it is taught by those who adhere to its radical element (which unfortunately, is very sizable), is an anti-freedom philosophy and a form of mental slavery. If you don't believe me, look at the title of this post, and read this article about the reaction of the Muslim Student Association at UCLA, when another student group decides to display the Mohammed cartoons as part of a discussion on free speech:
Addressing the same issue in a different forum, the Muslim Student Association will hold an alternative event the same day, since the group did not want to take part in an event that exposes what they believe are inappropriate depictions of the prophet. ...
Mohamad Ahmad, an MSA member and fourth-year economics and international development studies student, said the group did not want to participate in an event that displayed the offensive cartoons. ...
Members of L.O.G.I.C. asked for MSA’s help in finding professors to argue the other position, though, due to L.O.G.I.C.’s plans to display the cartoons, MSA declined to participate.
The alternative program run by MSA, titled “Freedom of Speech: Can a Right Go Wrong?” will address freedom of speech within the context of the cartoons and explain why Muslims have reacted so strongly. ...
Ahmad said the event does not need to show the cartoons in order to stimulate an intellectual discourse. Ahmad said the concern is not over attacks on the prophet, but rather the humiliation and misrepresentation of Muslims.
“It’s a cheap way to get across an agenda, but I’m not worried about attacks on the prophet because his character speaks and stands for himself,” Ahmad said. ...
Ahmad said other universities, such as UC Irvine and UC San Diego, where certain student groups have been receiving attention by exposing and debating the cartoons, have ulterior motives for hosting these events.
“The whole facade of free speech is a bluff,” Ahmad said, adding he believed the event was a ploy for attention.
Wow, that's some good thinkin' Ahmad. Yes, maybe all of Western Civilization is simply a "ploy for attention."
This is what we're up against, folks. Everyday, in more and more ways, we are being told by Muslims, common everyday Muslims, that our most cherished beliefs are facades, that they are offensive, that we are infidels.
And, you know what? We are telling them the same thing.
I, for one, will admit, right now, that I think these Muslims, who would object to cartoons, are absolutely wrong in their opposition to free speech. And, I will say, that I am against those Muslims who would wrap women in Burqas. I am against the Muslims who preach Jihad, who would call me an infidel, who would want to establish Sharia in my country.
In fact, I will say this as well; I would like for all those Muslims who believe such things to please leave my country. Please, leave the West altogether.
The door is over there. Please leave now.
