UK Muslims Call for Changes in Law and Media Guidelines

A Christian leader in Britain has voiced alarm over calls by Muslims to change the law and media industry guidelines to prevent the future publication of images of the Muslim prophet, Mohammed.

British Muslims may be using the cartoon controversy as a pretext to push for a law that would grant them protections they have long demanded -- and were recently denied, said Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, director of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity.

In no way, are the points being made on this page meant for proselytizing. [The choice is made by the individual - and no one can change that] The two different doctrines presented here - existed long before any of us were even born.

Both doctrines [of Christianity and of Islam] have the power to shut the mouths of those who tell lies about them - because the Koran has the authority over ALL Muslims - and the New Testament has the authority over ALL Christians.

And that is the core of this whole situation in which world leaders adamantly refuse to shine the light upon it before all.

With that in mind - consider:

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo - present just one New Testament Scripture that preaches violence between humans. Just one.  [There aren't any]

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo - are these teachings of the Koran 'hate speech' ?...

005.051 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors {authorities]: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them for friendship is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

002.065 And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected." [The Jews and the Christians]

 

007.166 When in their insolence they transgressed all prohibitions, We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."

 

004.101 When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear '''the unbelievers''' May attack you: For '''the Unbelievers''' are unto you open enemies.

 

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo?

 

Why should any ''''non-Muslim'''' nation tolerate those dangerous hate-filled teachings?

 

Less than two weeks ago, Muslims were dismayed when lawmakers defanged the British government's religious hatred legislation by removing its most contentious elements.

Among these was an attempt to outlaw "threatening, abusive or insulting" statements or behavior relating to religion.

The watered-down version passed by the House of Commons limited the definition of religious hatred to only "threatening" statements or behavior. {The UK already has laws on the books that condemn incitement for carrying out violence]

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet '''the Unbelievers''' in fight, smite at their necks. {Behead them! and the Muslims are commanded to initiate the fight}  002.216  009.039

Who wants to have that brutal act carried out on them? or worse - someone you love very much?  All who agree with that teaching - let them be first in line - beginning with their leaders. Is God Himself not the Judge at the final Judgment?

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. {Incitement to carry out Mass Murder

There are no  ''ands, ifs or buts''  about the words of those teachings. They ARE getting people killed.

How can the preachers of "Diversity" and "Tolerance" justify their own preaching to those who have lost a loved one [especially a child] because someone was incited by that teaching?

Critics of the bill had worried that the original legislation would have made any criticism or ridicule of religion an offense.

If allah is so powerful [knowing that which was to come] - let him defend himself by his own book - without violating any common humanitarian rights.

Jesus does
 

Had that passed into law, Muslims probably would have brought complaints against any British newspaper that published the cartoons at the center of the current global row.

No religion that teaches this....

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy.

has any moral right in complaining about offenses over such cartoons.

That teaching does not promote prosperity. It promotes crime and poverty!

The self-proclaiming 'humanitarian' kings repetitiously claim that '''poverty breeds crime'''. They have it backwards. Crime breeds poverty {it doesn't take a team of geniuses to figure it out] - and the bottom line is this: - - -  It is the teachings that breed the crime.

To say the poor produces criminals - because they are poor - is a Great Offense! It is a real slap-in-the-face to those who really are poor - and yet - would NEVER resort to violence just so they could benefit.


In the event, the legislation was considerably toned down, but Sookhdeo wondered whether Muslims were now using the cartoon issue to reopen the debate.

Laws already exist in the UK - that condemn incitement for carrying out violence.

The U.N. also - condemned 3 men to life in prison for inciting others into violence:

See} Men Armed 'Only With Words' Can Commit Genocide

"You were fully aware of the power of words, and you used the radio — the medium of communication with the widest public reach — to disseminate hatred and violence,"

"Without a firearm, machete or any physical weapon, you caused the death of thousands of innocent civilians"

Taught in the Mosques...

009.005 fight and slay the Pagans ''''wherever'''' ye find them [throughout the earth} 004.100, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy.

008.065 O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight.

There are NO ''ands, ifs or buts'' about those teachings! They promote crimes - which produce poverty.

The U.N. has yet to deal with the Truth.

 

"This seems to me an attempt to get themselves the privileged legal position the government had promised them [in the religious hatred legislation] by another method," he said. "It is nothing to do with the cartoons."

Sookhdeo commented after 300 Muslim leaders in Britain held an emergency meeting this week to discuss the row over the publication in European newspapers of cartoons satirizing Mohammed.

The leaders, who formed an ad-hoc body called the Muslim Action Committee (MAC), called for Britain's Race Relations Act to be amended, to give Muslims the same protection enjoyed by Sikhs and Jews.

This refers to a longstanding grievance voiced by British Muslims. The Race Relations Act prohibits discrimination on "racial grounds," and any Briton claiming mistreatment on the basis of ethnicity can seek protection under it.

But Muslims say that, as Sikhs and Jews are defined as racial as well as religious communities {not all Jews and Indians belong to the same religions], they benefit from the law on both counts. Muslims can't claim the same protection, however, because Muslims are a group defined by religion, not ethnicity.

Although the same applies to Christians, Muslim organizations are determined to have what they see as an unfair situation rectified, claiming they have suffered discrimination on the basis of religion since the 9/11 terror attacks.

Supporting the Muslim community in that push, the Labor government tried several times since 2002 to pass religious hatred law. Two earlier attempts failed before the third eventually succeeded late last month, but in a diluted form.

Sookhdeo disputes the Muslim argument about the Race Relations Act being unfair to Muslims. He says the law protects Sikhs and Jews against any discrimination against them on ethnic grounds, but does nothing to protect them from any criticism of Sikhism or Judaism as religions.

'Protect Mohammed'

At the meeting, the MAC also called for the code of conduct of the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) to be tightened to prevent publishing of any images of Mohammed.

The commission is an independent body which deals with complaints from the public about the editorial content of newspapers and magazines. It administers a self-regulatory code of conduct, aimed at giving the industry a set of guiding principles.

Then let them ponder the violent teachings of the Koran. {It is a fact - that people are being slaughtered because of them!

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. {throughout the earth - until the '''last''' day {so says 'allah'

That teaching is incitement to carry out brutal murder!
 

The meeting chairman, Sheikh Faiz Saddiqi, said the PCC code was meant to ensure that the media treated people with respect. Respect should be shown to Muslims, who find depictions of Mohammed offensive, he said.

Muhammad says...

009.029 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya [Islamic tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [Violent Discrimination?]

004.104 And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

"Insulting the prophet of Islam is worse than insulting your wife, children or sister."

AND SO IS INSULTING THE LORD JESUS WHO PREACHED PEACE TO THIS WORLD:

009.030 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; in this they but imitate what '''the unbelievers'''  of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

037.152 Allah has begotten children? but they are liars! {thereby, calling ALL of the Prophets and Apostles of Christ - Liars - by one lone accuser - who wasn't even there with Jesus.

 

It is the letters of the actual eye witnesses of Jesus Himself - who delivered the New Testament. And the Prophets of the Old Testament agree} Jer 23:7 Jer 7:32 Dan 11:32 Deu 18:15  ....King David, Jeremiah, Daniel and Moses [among many others].... have the Authority!  {Muhammad, all by himself - calls all of them liars - and he wasn't even there with Jesus.

019.089 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! {That is the Greatest offense in all of Christianity!...calling the Son of God an abomination - and the Father in heaven a liar!

And this is what the Muslims are to do to those who believe in the Gospel of Christ:

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet '''the Unbelievers''' in fight, smite at their necks. {Behead them! and the Muslims are commanded to initiate the fight}  002.216  009.039

Muhammad, all by himself - calls The Lord Who Commands Peace between ALL humans with the backing of the Prophets and the Apostles - an abomination! and yet sees no abomination in the acts of beheadings and rape.

 

Here is what Muhammad has to offer to ALL of humanity:

Mass Murder................................

009.005  033.061

Mass Rape...................................

033.052

Beheadings...................................

047.004

Crucifixions...................................

005.033

Robbery.......................................

008.041

Telling lies to non-muslims.............

003.028

Cutting off hands and feet..............

005.033

Treason........................................

008.067

Clearly - those teachings - right out the mouth of 'allah' himself - thoroughly violate ALL UK laws.

What is wrong with the leaders of this world? Sweeping this under the rug - does not mean it is going to go away.

Sookhdeo also expressed concern about the PCC demand.

"Why should there be different rules for Muslims compared with followers of other faiths?" he asked.
{Because of Islam's own laws.

Even though the Lord Jesus is mentioned in Article VII of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. government does not take part in deciding the disagreements between the many self-professing 'Christian' houses.

The 'rules' are NO different for the Muslims than they are for any other faith. It is Islam [welcomed refugees] - that can not get along with the rules that are already in place for the host nations who were gracious enough to take them in. [which is more than can be said about Mecca]

There is no other main religion that incites its followers to go out and kill all other faiths. {the leaders have sorely under-estimated the power of religion - whether good or bad - all in the name of 'secularism'.

If the code of conduct was changed specifically to protect Mohammad, "I fear it could prove to be the thin end of the wedge.

If the 'code of conduct'  is changed - then let the Koran be condemned for calling the Son of God an abomination in the lands where His followers live. Muslims have plenty of Islamic nations to choose from in which to live, where Christians and Jews are regularly brutalized. graphic} Even children have suffered the Islamic culture of beheadings - an abomination that none of the media giants are willing to look at or talk about.

Maybe it will just go away - right?

Woe unto the voices of this world - who spit upon the power that has been granted them. What makes them think they share no responsibility for the spread of this vicious brutal disease?


"From self-imposed censorship we could soon move to more serious situations," he added, noting that "defiling the name" of Mohammed was a criminal offense in Pakistan, carrying a mandatory death sentence.

Sookhdeo also pointed out that the PCC code of conduct already contained guidelines about avoiding the use of "prejudicial or pejorative reference" in news reports to an individual's religion.

In an article posted on his website this week, Middle East scholar and Foundation for the Defense of Democracies fellow Dr. Walid Phares said Muslims living in the West were under heavy pressure from fundamentalists to bring about changes in those societies.

Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi, considered a leading Islamic scholar, is a regular guest on a popular weekly program on al-Jazeera television called Sharia wal Hayat (The Law and Life), on which he answers viewers' questions on the Islamic faith.

Phares said Qaradawi had declared on the program: "Muslims living outside Islamic lands must either return to their homelands when their journey, job, or mission is accomplished or strive to remain as citizens and spread religion."

"Muslims in the West and in other areas must strife [sic] to spread religion and insert it in the national legal, political and economic space," he quoted Qaradawi as saying.


 

To dispel the Great Lie that Christianity was 'modernized' - the actual letters of the very eye witnesses of Jesus still speak. They are the New Testament....the very Covenant that was promised in the Old Covenant

Those letters were not changed in order to 'modernize' the New Testament - but rather - were carefully preserved - and they were written long before the Koran was. [neither book has been changed to suit men - and nor can they be]

The west has some serious decisions to make.

 

Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: {CHOOSE

For the tree is known by his fruit.

 

Hundreds of Beslan school children

 

Russian school girls were raped 033.052 by Muslims

in front of their parents and classmates.

 

Babies were knifed.

 

[and Islam cries over cartoons]

 

What kind of a prophet that is '''''HOLY'''''

 

puts himself before the torments of ANY child?

 

Not Jesus - that's for sure!
