IHRC Trash

Upon searching for "undercover mosque" on google, my cross-post at IBA shows up as one of the first 10 links (out of over 90,000)!

I'm quite shocked at this. I would have bet that, at the very least, material on (the infamous!) Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin would have got higher rank than my post on this subject matter.

Anyway, among the top ten, we have this press release from the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC).

The usual litany of accusations from being against gay rights and women’s rights, as well as accusations regarding support for jihad, Osamah bin Laden, the Taliban and Muslim world domination are ranged at various people within the film. This ‘standard’ is used exclusively for Muslims and exemplifies the problems of inherent Islamophobia and racism within the mainstream media.

Let's get something straight: Islam is not a race. Repeating the "racism" charge for the millionth time won't assign some magical racial or ethnic value to Islam. It's ultimately about the vile nature of Islam -- the cult, the ideology, the religion. Calling the critics "islamophobic" or "racists" won't change the ugly reality that Muslims (of numerous backgrounds) in the West are aiming to end Western Civilization.

Do note, the IHRC doesn't state that what the preachers uttered was morally wrong or factually incorrect. They're complaining that the MSM is being unfair by showing their odious views to the broader kafir public.

It's amazing: in addition to the explicit Undercover Mosque, the reaction to the programme by Muslim organizations is also very revealing.

Issac,

I had the misfortune of debating with few pakistanis on such matters in emails. All of them repeat the same nonsense. this is not islam. Islam never preaches hatred towards others blah blah. With this level of reasoning, how can anyone argue with them.

The muslims who will speak against preachers shown in the Undercover-mosque will most (where most is 99%) likely use the same stupid logic "what was shown in the mosque is not true islam".

BTW as you from Canada, can you tell me what do you think of Tarek Fatah. During sharia law controversy he seemed genuinely liberal. But
many times he comes across as fake.

I don't think I've ever seen, heard or read Tarek Fatah, so I can't give an opinion.

One question you can ask Muslims: Why is it that nations such as Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Pakistan etc. continue to pervert* Islam while the overwhelming majority of Muslims do and say nothing?

* Stoning women for adultery, death for alcohol possession, hanging homosexuals, open discrimination of non-Muslims, jail or death for saying anything negative about Islam or Muhammad.

There is no perversion taking place; they all are applying sharia to varying degrees.
