The Morning Rant: The Terrorists Have Won (At Least In The UK)

Contrary to the breathless reporting about this event, Laurence Fox's stunt...threatening to display a cartoon of the 7th century pedophile Mohammad... is actually a perfect example of Islam's ascendance in the West. Fox is not a brave man fighting against the encroaching darkness of Islam; he is an observer pointing out that Islam has already won, at least in the UK.

Had Mr. Fox actually displayed an image of pedo Mo, what would the odds be that he would have been accosted at the least, and injured or killed at the worst?

Remember Charlie Hebdo? 12 dead and 11 wounded, all because Islam -- The Religion Of Peace^TM -- didn't like its drawings of their cult leader.

Remember Salman Rushdie? Islam's response to his 1988 book, The Satanic Verses drove him into hiding for years, and culminated in a failed assassination attempt that blinded him in one eye, 35 years after publication!

Best clip from the Oxford Union in a long time. A speaker suggests that he is about to display a cartoon of Muhammad to prove that Islam has a problem with free speech.

People scramble frantically to stop him: It is against the rules, unnecessary, irrelevant, disrespectful, and... pic.twitter.com/oRJ6MCXQOz

Islam controls the narrative in many places in the West. Yes, it is probably most powerful in the UK, but France and Belgium and the Netherlands and Germany and Canada and Spain and perhaps others are also on the road to sharia law and the complete destruction of free speech.

"Free Speech" is of necessity and by definition offensive, challenging, disturbing, and subverts the dominant paradigm. Otherwise it is just talk, without substance and without any meaning or import.

The West needs to push back forcefully against any challenge to our free speech rights. Anything less than a full-throated defense of our God-given, natural right to speak as we see fit will result in the loss of more than just free speech!
