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.

"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.

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 Hitler and Cecil Rhodes cannot be compare

The Dark Side of the Women's March

The recent Women's March, which took place in Washington and numerous other cities one day after the inauguration of President Trump, may go down as the largest protest in American history. Millions showed up to these events to advocate for women's issues and to protest against Donald Trump. While very few would find fault in a women's march in and of itself, upon inspecting this women's march further, some disturbing information comes to light. The Women's March was thankfully quite peaceful, unlike Inauguration Day when the group Antifa (the "anti-fascists"), although stymied by the police, were ironically able to carry out their own mini "Kristallnacht" (or rather, "Kristalltag"), smashing windows and setting fires in broad daylight. The Women's March appears to have been non-violent and there were apparently no arrests. However, problems start to manifest themselves when we look at the people who set up and spoke at th

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I
