Islam has declared war on free speech

in response to reader comment: Get rid of islamic censorship

There is no question that this year 2008 Islamic countries declared all out war on free speech. To paraphrase Martin Niemöller :

In Denmark, they came first for the Cartoonists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Cartoonist;

And then they came for the journalists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a journalist; And then they came for the lawyers at the United Nations Human Rights committees, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a lawyer;

And then they came for the Judges at the World Court, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a

Judge;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.

Islamic censorship is ISLAMOFASCISM...we must stand up and stand up to it or we will lose our freedom, just like they lost in Germany.
