A MANIFESTO AGAINST ISLAMISM
By Michelle Malkin · February 28, 2006 08:06 PM

Danish reader P.H.N. sends an important document published today in the Jyllands-Posten:

MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism

After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.

We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.


The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.

Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations. The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world. But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred. Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world of domination: man's domination of woman, the Islamists' domination of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to oppressed or discriminated people.

We reject cultural relativism, which consists in accepting that men and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality, freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions. We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of "Islamophobia", an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.

We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.

We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

lets just abbreviate the body count with TNTC (too numerous to count) like we used to in lab. It certainly has the potential.
You are being racist.

Because I think that if this thing gets widespread play there is a chance for deadly riots?
No, because you think Islamics should be a special, 'hands off' category, simply because they are Islamic. I think the other terms are appeaser and ass kisser.

oh you bet---there is evidence all over the place for THAT accusation.
I think they should be profiled big time and repeatedly said so. I wonder--if there is an all out war on islam if America will intern them all or just pitch em into ovens. Ask Hillary for me --this one is getting confusing.

Hell, you are taking the position one would expect the left to take, they just left it vacant for the appeasers.

Only if you believe the left is serious about national security. I think they LIE and could give a damn about national security. If they are in power, Mulims can have anything they want-no deal needed.

False arguement. Even the naysayers can be correct once in awhile. I say give the Muslims a chance to rule the world, Dillo commands it. :rolleyes: New title:

Dhimmi Dilloduck! Peace or whatever, be upon him.
