European Court Won't Tolerate the Truth as Free Speech

Forget Orwell's 1984.  This reads like it's out of the Inquisition of Galileo, which, I might remind you, took place in the early 1600s.  It is likely that today's Europe is was more tolerant of free speech by the year 1700 than it is now.  Below are some quotes from the article, along with some notes from me.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/european-court-indicates-blasphemy-wont-be-tolerated-as-free-speech-1155530

"The case concerned an Austrian who held two seminars on Islam. She discussed an alleged marriage between the Prophet Muhammad and a 6-year-old girl, and commented, 'What do we call it, if it is not paedophilia?'"

That's a good question.  But that's the question that Europe will not tolerate.

"The woman was subsequently convicted for disparaging religious doctrines and ordered to pay a fine. The case then proceeded to appeal. The European Court of Human Rights affirms the conviction."

"While nodding to the importance of context — the situation in a particular country — and affording some discretion for local authorities to evaluate whether statements are likely to disturb the religious peace, the European Court sees impermissible blasphemy here."

"Specifically, it's upheld that the woman's statements 'had been capable of arousing justified indignation; specifically, they had not been made in an objective manner contributing to a debate of public interest (e.g. on child marriage), but could only be understood as having been aimed at demonstrating that Muhammad was not worthy of worship.'"

Europe now convicts those who believe and state that "Muhammad was not worthy of worship".  Is there anything scarier than that?

"What's more, the European Court agrees that the woman 'must have been aware that her statements were partly based on untrue facts and apt to arouse indignation in others' and that she 'subjectively labelled Muhammad with paedophilia as his general sexual preference, and that she failed to neutrally inform her audience of the historical background, which consequently did not allow for a serious debate on that issue.'"

There are ZERO "untrue" facts.  Even if some things were untrue, if telling a lie were a crime, billions of people would be in prison at this moment.  But it was 100% true.  The Hadith says:
"Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death)."
- Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64

What's more, Muhammad is the ONLY person in history who people don't call a refer to as a pedophile because he ALSO had sex with adults.  If a 53-year-old man had sex with your 9-year-old daughter...BUT...that 53-year-old man had also had sex with adults...would you label him a "pedophile", or would you say, "He's obviously not a pedophile, because although he had sex with my daughter, he also had sex with adult women."

I have been thinking recently that in Europe, THERE IS LESS AND LESS TO ACTUALLY STRIVE TO SAVE.  When you wish that thinkers from the 1700s would sort our modern society out, it really shows how far our modern society has fallen.

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...
Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...
