The news that a 19 year old man from Leeds has been arrested for distributing a video showing a Koran being burned, should send chills down the spine of anybody who believes that people should have the right to criticise ideologies, including religious ideologies.

This unnamed young man was arrested in the Beeston area of Leeds for a ‘racially and religiously aggravated public order offence’ and has been put on police bail. No doubt the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service will drag out this case even if it looks like it is a case that the police may not win because in these situations, the process of Law, and the delaying of justice, has become a part of the punishment for those who speak up against Jihad, Islamisation or excessive immigration.

We’ve seen so often how Britain now has a two tier justice system where Muslims and Islamic groups are allowed, and are sometimes even facilitated by police and local authorities, to spread hatred for non-Muslims and say and do stuff that would be beyond the pale if a member of any other group did them. It is not beyond the realms of possibility to speculate that if this man had burned a Torah or a Tanakh or a New Testament or a copy of Das Kapital then he would not have been arrested.

The ideology of Islam is being protected by the Police, even when we can all see the negative affects of this ideology on our towns and our cities and on our people. Neither me or this blog is inherently ‘anti police’, there is a need in society for there to be citizens who help to enforce the law, but now we need to ask, just whose law are they enforcing, the civil law, the law of the land, or Shariah law which punishes harshly those who disrespect the words of and about a 7^th century paedophile warlord called Mohammed?

Arrests such as this one have two purposes. The first is to placate violent Muslims who kick off not because they are offended by the headchopping, gyno-hatred, aggression and oppression that are so often features of Islamic societies, but because some non-Muslims show disrespect for a book that encourages such headchopping, gyno-hatred and oppression. To many that would look like having the wrong moral and ethical priorities. The second purpose of such arrests is to frighten people into not speaking up, and not demonstrating against the ideology of Islam. I predict that as more non-Muslim people start to realise what Islamic ideology really means and start to speak up against it, then there will be more arrests.

As the Jihad Watch website commented; arresting people for speaking their mind about an ideology that is troublesome and dangerous is making Britain into an embarrassment. This is what Jihad Watch said:

“Would this teenager have been arrested for burning the Bible? Of course not. But the Cameron government is desperate to appease Islamic supremacists — apparently even to the point of adopting Sharia laws governing the treatment of the Qur’an. I am not in favor of burning any book, but I am also in favor of the freedom of expression, which is an absolutely non-negotiable feature of any free society — and one that the British are throwing away with both hands. Britain is not only dying; it is stupid. It is not only rapidly descending into Sharia, chaos, and civil war (the latter two because a small number of people there, after being hounded and smeared by their own governing authorities for opposing Islamization, will ultimately stand resisting it), but it is making itself ridiculous as it does so. It is embarrassing to watch Britain today, in the same way as it would be embarrassing to watch a senile old man attempt to sing and dance while under the delusion that he was still young, handsome and vigorous. It is impossible to respect modern Britain. “

Many of us would take issue with Mr Spencer’s assertion that Britain is dying from excess Islam, Islam is a threat to Britain, of that there is no doubt, but there is a growing and seething anger among the people about what Islam is doing to our country. Arrests like these are an attempt by the authorities to shore up their policy of appeasing Islam and pandering to Muslims, a policy that many non-Muslim citizens are beginning to see through.

The right to criticise an ideology whether in words or by burning the symbols of an ideology is a vital one in a free society. We should be able to burn the symbols of oppression whether that be swastkas or hammer and sickle flags for example or those symbols of politico-religious ideologies such as Islam. This burning of symbols is a way of showing contempt for ideologies that both threaten us and have expressed hatred for us.

I have a strong feeling that I would not like or even agree with the politics of the young man who has been arrested, but he should not have been arrested for distributing a video of the destruction of the Islamic ‘Big Book of Death’.

Although the Koran destruction video in question has been removed from social media, at the bottom of this post are some other Koran’s being burned, exploded or otherwise mutilated. These are being republished and highlighted, as a way of showing solidarity with those individuals who are being persecuted by the authorities for demonstrating contempt for an ideology whose followers commit mass rape, encourage sedition, foment acts of terror and oppress women and LGBT people.

It should be remembered that a society where the citizen is frightened into silence for fear of those who take offence or those Quislings who collude with them, is not a free society. If we do not speak up or fight back politically, then what remains of our freedoms will disappear like a puff of smoke. Sometimes it is both right and proper to give offence, especially when the ideology that one is attacking is both offensive and violent.

Here’s someone drawing on and otherwise mutilating a Koran

Here’s an exploding Koran video accompanied by an arrangement of traditional British folk tunes.

Or what about a brave women picking out the most offensive and fascistic pages from the Koran and then burning them in a glass bowl?

Or someone having a ‘Koran-e-que’ in the snow

Defending the Enlightenment by burning 40,000 electonic copies of the Koran

Koran burning as ‘symbolic expression’ as permitted by the free speech amendment to the US Constitution.

British people in Gateshead saying the Koran is ‘full of shit’ and burning it. I like the guy singing ‘burn baby burn it’s a disco inferno’, it’s a nice humourous touch.

And finally….another exploding Koran

EVERY TIME A KORAN IS BURNED, IT STRIKES A BLOW FOR FREE EXPRESSION, FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND FREEDOM FROM RELIGIOUS FASCISM.
