London Mayor Sadiq Khan
Comment: The original title of the article reads: "London Mayor Bans Free Speech On Social Media Because "Muslims are offended" That is not quite what he said - this is what he said:
The examples Khan offers are indeed prejudiced, since they incorrectly characterize all Muslims as extremist yihadists. However, we suspect that most people can see past that narrow point of view and understand that even without blaming all Muslims, there are valid and reasonable criticisms to make of Islam itself and its practices - just as there are for any other religion or ideology - and that is the freedom of speech we should not give up.
We agree People should not use crude language in social media, but our advice for the mayor of London is to delete his accounts on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
Sadiq Khan is the first Muslim mayor of London, he is not the first mayor to be attacked on social media by trolls, but he is the first politician in the world who wants to ban speech freedom because someone said something not nice about him on Twitter. Liberals and leftists in the West use the made up term "Islamophobia" to portray anyone who criticizes Islam as a "racist".
Radical Muslim terrorists all over the world carry out terror attacks "in the name of Allah".
They justify their violence by quoting verses from the Quran.
Islamophobia is a made up word created by the Muslim Brotherhood specifically to silence debate.
Liberals and leftists ignore the fact that Islam is an ideology that has nothing to do with race.
Islamophobia is a neologism created to silence any possible debate about the problems Islamic extremism has got with modernity, with the intention of using the collective post-colonial "guilt" to exempt a particular set of beliefs from scrutiny, analysis and criticism.
It's a buzzword used in an attempt to silence anyone, whenever had legit questions or criticisms about the religion.
Islam is not a race. It's a religion.
There is an attempt in the West to impose a sharia-blasphemy law to criminalize criticism of Islam.
It started when Saudi Arabia and Muslim countries tried to pass a UN resolution to force Western states to criminalize criticism of Islam.
The Parliament in Canada passed "Motion M-103" to condemn the so-called "Islamophobia (Fear of Islam)" in a preparation for a blasphemy law in Canada.
According to the sharia blasphemy law anyone who criticizes Islam or the Prophet Muhammad should be killed.
Under Sharia blasphemy law in Saudi Arabia and Iran Muslims are executed if they are accused of blasphemy.
In Pakistan, the situation is even worse, radical Muslims use the blasphemy law to persecute the Christian minority.
Is this the law the liberals in the West want to adopt?
If you think Sharia blasphemy law has no place in the West, share this post!
