bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Muslims who want to live under Islamic law have no place in Australia A senior government minister said Thursday that Muslims who wanted to live under Islamic law had no place in Australia and insisted all immigrants must embrace Australian values. Treasurer Peter Costellos comments came just days after Prime Minister John Howard said some segments of the Islamic community were antagonistic to Australian society and expressed concern about Muslim attitudes towards women. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006%5C02%5C24%5Cstory_24-2-2006_pg4_11 === "Freedom of press -- only for the anti-Islamic witch hunt On the double standard of the West of the caricatures against the Islamic prophet It is long ago that Europe was worrying so much about freedom of press. Apparently this freedom is only valid for the worriers in the war against the Arab-Islamic world. Let us recall what few will know: when thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Munich, Germany, on February 4 for against the NATO conference the police hunted every person carrying a poster which called Bush a war criminal. Eventually several dozens were arrested for having insisted on their freedom of expression. But the regime media did not join into the chorus of defence of basic liberties. These facts were not even worth a column. http://www.antiimperialista.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4196&Itemid=55 === Free Speech or Hate Speech? I dont know of anything more important than freedom of expression, said former Supreme Court Justice Peter Cory commenting on the Courts decision to uphold Jim Keegstras conviction for willfully promoting hatred in 1991. The offensive Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad have now ignited global interest in the subject. To date four Canadian media outlets have entered the fray. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === Understanding the Roots of the Anti-Muslim Cartoon Scandal The mainstream media coverage of the anti‑Islamic cartoons ignores the fact that the publication of the images was a "calculated offense" commissioned by a Danish colleague of the neo‑con ideologue Daniel Pipes and was meant to incite violence and promote the "clash of civilizations." www.americanfreepress.net http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=85229 === Publications not charged for printing cartoons No evidence of inciting hatred, Crown finds Muslim groups urge broadening of hate laws OTTAWAA Crown prosecutor's decision not to lay criminal hate charges against two publications that ran the infamous editorial cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad has left some Canadian Muslim groups calling on Ottawa to broaden the scope of Canada's hate laws. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1140648614895&call_pageid=968332188774&col=968350116467 === U of T student newspaper refuses to apologize for publishing Muhammad cartoon Ragaz and his crowd can reject all they want that publishing the offensive cartoons was an act of hatred, an attack on the Muslim faith, and on Muslims in general. These cartoons in fact were a racist and hate filled slap in the face to Muslims everywhere and they can go ahead and deny our anger, but that does not change the facts. If this action were directed at any other faith group in Canada then hate crimes would be implemented, but because it is completely acceptable to defame Muslims then these laws don't apply and those amoung us who complain are labled fanatics and fundamentalists. As they continue to deficate on all things we hold to be sacred our anger becomes greater as the days go by. http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20060218/ca_pr_on_na/prophet_drawings_uoft === Most Canadian journalists believe the media should publish hateful cartoons Most Canadian journalists believe the media in this country should have carried controversial Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, a new poll suggested Monday. MMN Question: What does this news item below tell us about MOST Canadian journalists? We agree with the most recent statement of the United Church of Canada who called the motovation behind publishing the cartoons as nothing less than "racial hatred" and "Islamophobia." Please read their statement at: http://www.united-church.ca/news/2006/0217.shtm It is interesting that the Globe and Mail published an editorial today (see second article below) criticizing the United Church of Canada's position. The editorial stated that: "To suggest that they were inciting race hatred is to echo the ravings of the extremists...." The editorial is basically saying those who hold the view that the cartoon incites hatred against Muslims are extremists and link this view with those who support violence.

"We're very concerned about the level of rhetoric and the way that there seems to be the assumption that because a company is Arab it can't be trusted with our security," said Katherine Abbadi, executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee of New York. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--ports-arabamerica0222feb22,0,4881978.story === U.S. Christians create umbrella organization to lobby for Israel WASHINGTON - A new group in the United States, Christians United for Israel, will serve as an umbrella organization for Christian congregations that support Israel, and will lobby for Israel. Some 400 Christian community leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, two weeks ago to establish the group, which Christians United officials said represents about 30 million Americans. The organization's main goal is to create a rapid-response network "targeted to reach every senator and congressman" in the United States. It is led by evangelical leaders Dr. John C. Hagee and George Morrison; fundamentalist Baptist minister Jerry Falwell; and Gary Bauer, president of the American Values organization aimed at protecting marriage, family and faith. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/686241.html === O'Reilly: "They've got all kinds of Muslim crazies up in Canada running around" see: http://mediamatters.org/items/200602240004 === Britain in War With "Islamist" Terror: Minister LONDON, February 22, 2006 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) British Defense Secretary John Reid said Wednesday, February 22, Britain was facing a war against what he called "evil Islamist extremists". "There is a big struggle going on with Islam," Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted Reid as telling Britain's Daily Express. "This is a war against evil, make no mistake," he told the British tabloid daily, adding that "modern terrorists" would stop at nothing to destroy every non-Muslim. "There is a twisted minority who simply want to take the world back to the seventh century, to build an absolute dictatorship where everyone is told exactly what to do and how to think." http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2006-02/22/article01.shtml MMN Note: The Brits are trying to keep our attention off of this: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11880.htm and Blame "evil Islam" instead.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4729032.stm === Blair faces torrent of criticism on human rights The Prime Minister was under pressure over his support for US " rendition flights", his failure to call openly for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay camp in Cuba, and over draconian anti-terror laws, after damning reports by the Labour-led Commons Foreign Affairs Committee and by Amnesty International. His comments on the state of Iraq came on another day of bloodshed in the country. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article347378.ece === 9-11: Can the Truth Set Us Free? 9/11 is the excuse for every military operation and diminishment of our Constitutional freedoms during the last four and a half years.
