This is just the beginning. They will not stop until all women in this free country are in garbage bags.
As noted in the article, the OIC position is consistent with our "allies" in Pakistan:
Blasphemy carries the death penalty there, as per Sharia law. When the governor of Punjab said the penalty should be reduced, he was assassinated. When the assassins were arrested, crowds demanded their release and threw a parade of rose petals in their honor.
BTW, they call President Obama a Muslim apostate because he denies being a Muslim even though his father was a Muslim:
Reportedly this President has received an unusually high number of threats since declaring his candidacy; I don't know where those come from, but am guessing many of them are from followers of Sharia.
APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says
Hey, Allah!
Suck my dick!
Asshole!
I am beginning to like this guy.
It is easy to agree with most of the reactions and comments on this thread, but I think we are missing the much bigger picture. Any cult/religion that is recognized by a civilized society will have these fundamentalists telling us their definition of god is the one and only. Just about any social psychotherapist will tell us there is a very thin line, if any, between fundamentalism and fascism.

Yes, but only one cult has actually succeeded in curtailing our freedoms. How are we to stop it?
How about dropping millions of leaflets in Arabic containing this:
It's sympathetic to their situation, which is a difficult one. Every Muslim must be afraid of all his Muslim neighbors, because they are obligated to kill him if he suggests that Mohammed's robberies, rapes, and murders prove that he was no prophet.
So instead of meddling in the middle east we should take care of our own country and defend freedom of speech. We have soldiers dying in useless wars while we apologize at every incident of freedom of speech in our country. It's very simple, restore and enforce the rule of law within our borders, for everybody. Don't like the rules, move somewhere else..

This is the way all witch hunts work. You get everyone to enthusiastically support the witch hunt out of fear that if they don't, they'll be branded witches.

It's a good idea but the context suggests mixed results. The history of wartime propaganda leaflets suggests they might be dismissed, and people might be afraid to pick them up and read them. A new issue is the context of the drone war, where people in target areas live in fear whenever they hear a drone, which in some areas can be all day long. Reportedly only 2% of drone kills are "high value targets," the other 98% are either low level or civilian; in this context, dropping more things from the sky might not reach a receptive audience. In other contexts though people might read it and it could make a difference, and it should be done over radio, leaflet, Internet, anything.
OK, how about something like Radio Free Europe, which worked pretty well for us in Eastern Europe?
If not radio, it could be some kind of website, though that probably isn't going to reach anyone in Afghanistan.
I like the Radio Free Arabia idea. It would celebrate famous heroes like Galileo and Copernicus; I think the listener would get the gist and apply it to his own situation.
The U.S. sponsors radio networks for Arab audiences, with mixed results:
Good point -- nothing the US says is going to be very credible in the Mideast as long as we have soldiers in Iraq for the oil, and continue to obviously favor Israel over the Palestinians.
Excellent video!
I have to say I agree with every word. It should definitely always be legal to deny the Holocaust, though I'm personally sure it happened.
And if we're going to ban hate speech, why don't we start with the Koran itself, which is pretty much a continuous stream of hate speech against those who doubt Islam.
Homo Economicus. A Legendary Creature, like Bigfoot, claimed to exist by Pseudoscientists.
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Thanks thunder.
Islam is clearly a religion of hate and shame on those who stand up for it. It is your standing up for this cult that has led them to take away my basic human rights, endangered the lives of my loved ones, and risk ending the lifestyle I love.
Shame on you all.
Hitchens is one of the most awesome people to ever walk the Earth. People who hate him are loathsome assholes. Hitchens always presents the truth and does so in a clear, concise, and reasonable way that gets at the heart of every issue.
Dan, I feel like you are shoving your atheist religion down my throat. It's offensive and possibly blasphemous. Please desist before I and my 5495 closest mosque attenders visit you with torches and anal lube.
*wink*
There was one part of the speech that took my by surprise. At the very end, Hitchens gives a shout out to the Winona Ryder flick, Stay Cool. Either that or he was coining a new catch phrase.
They're baaaaack. Thousands of Muslims at Google's London Offices.
Limits to Free Speech, Be Civil to the Prophet of our Flying Spaghetti Monster, etc.
"Self-employed businessman Ahmed Nasar said he was worried the video could lead to violence in Britain in the same way as it had abroad. "If you push people too far," he said, "You will turn the peaceful elements into violence.""
People like this piece of shit need to be booted off that island ASAP. If the Muslims try that violent protest bullshit here, they'll get their asses handed to them. Muslims get so outraged about this "blasphemy" because they know it's true, and it makes them look like the pack of inbred camel jockeys that they are.
