Thou shalt not insult Islam. Bizarrely, terrifyingly, this has become the creed of 21st-century Britain. Consider the Saatchi Gallery’s decision to cover up two paintings after Muslim visitors complained they were offensive. In a blow to the ideal of artistic freedom, the supposedly edgy gallery in west London draped grey sheets over two new paintings that infuse verses from the shahada, one of the five pillars of Islam, with images of naked women and the US flag. The Saatchi is behaving like Saudi Arabia, hiding from public view artworks that blaspheme against Islam. Perhaps the artist responsible will now get 50 lashes for effrontery to the religion of peace.

Islam is the religion of peace

The point of the article is correct.

Our right to free speech has already been dramatically curtailed by threat of Islamic violence, but much more by our own liberals.

At one time, the ACLU would have defended free speech, but is now more likely to file suit against those attempting to use their right to free speech.

It's absurd to allow a religion curtail your free speech. I think I am the rudest person to my friends when this subject ever comes up in conversation.

Actually its the religion of peace what makes all of us to pretend to be dumb. If this keep continue, this pattern look "normal" at some point and it moves to its next level in its course. If people are not aware of its history, it comes with a price.
Whoever supports religion of peace, indirectly supporting women oppression and slavery as well.

I’m sure that many Muslims are peaceful and generally great fellows, but the same could be said of any group of people harboring poisonous and backwards beliefs. Nazis and skinheads aren’t all that bad when you get to know them. And serial killers are just misunderstood!! Why, even a cannibal is just a man who loves his fellow man...with gravy!

Tangential to this issue of nutty muslims whenever I hear stuff from a few friends of mine I have to comment and they often dislike it.

My Mexican friends sometimes go on about religion and I say "why do you go to a pederast and give him your money?"

Others talk about their "personal relationship with god" I ask them what god wore on their last coffee date.

Some said how glad they are that they "know where they're going" when they die so they're "not afraid of death." I say that normal humans fear death as this is an instinct we have called "survival".

Others have disputed evolution or other facts with me.

Others say I must "respect others' religious beliefs" and I say "why must I? They don't respect mine."

At least most religions today have abandoned human sacrifice to please a non entity; this is progress.

I liked the old time religions when there was a god for each thing; the sun, the moon, etc. It didn't seem serious so it seems more reasonable to me.

This is why Abrahamic religions originated to get a brand new monolithic god, since old religions and its gods were boring.

This is what's crazy about the left. They are "trying to be nice". And nice with people who wnat to murder everyone doesn't work.

Allah (God) and his prophet Muhammad (or Jesus for that matter), seems like they can take care of any blasphemers themselves, if they cared to. Do they really need our help? What this anti-blaspheming is about is a trampling on the the beliefs of their followers, ordinary people, and their religious leaders (worse than ordinary people) who don't want their belief system in any way questioned. This shows inherent weakness of an ordinary religion based on laws and judgements, reward and punishment to control actions, they can't be questioned or the whole thing falls apart. The level of indignation rising to violence generated, is an unfortunate typical human reaction to having ones closest, deepest held beliefs brought into question, and is no joke, they will maime, beat, torture, rape and kill you. Peace be upon you my brothers.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — An imam who has wished for the end of Zionism, called for a third Intifada and likened Israel to Nazi-era Germany delivered the opening prayer for a session of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday.

Omar Suleiman, the founder and president of the Dallas-based Yaqeen Institute, an organization that describes itself as a resource about Islam, referred to recent attacks on houses of worship — which has included synagogues in the United States — in his opening remarks.

“Let us not be deterred by the hatred that has claimed the lives of innocent worshippers across the world, but emboldened by the love that gathered them together to remember you and gathered us together to remember them,” Suleiman said in a short prayer after being introduced by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Suleiman has a long record of incendiary social media statements about Israel, as compiled two years ago by Petra Marquardt-Bigman, a researcher, and posted on the Algeimeiner Jewish news site. He has on multiple occasions wished for a third Palestinian Intifada, or violent uprising, likened Israeli troops to Nazis, and has wished for the end of Zionism, calling Zionists “the enemies of God.” He is a backer of the boycott Israel movement.

Suleiman’s congresswoman, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, invited him to deliver the prayer through a standard form on the webpage of the Office of the Chaplain of the House, according to a congressional official.

Pelosi’s office is looking into how and why Johnson invited Suleiman, an official told The Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., who is Jewish, said in a statement that inviting Suleiman to deliver the opening prayer was a “terribly bad call.”
