    Who is the most liberal in San Francisco?

    Who is the most liberal in San Francisco? Posted by Jonathan Williams on Mar 30th, 2008 2008 Mar 30 Well here is something you don’t see everyday. Two liberal groups, an animal activist group and an artist, got into a little dispute about who could be the most liberal. You see, liberals are all about free speech in art unless you are killing some animal or doing something to offend Muslims. This case has to do with the former. The French artist’s display includes several different animals, including a horse, getting bludgeoned over the head with a mallet until they are dead. This of course set the two groups at odds and threats started to fly. However, no matter how “right” the animal rights group may be, threats to kill the children of the artist and the art gallery owners isn’t the best, or most sane, way to respond. Personally, I think both groups are pretty sick, twisted, and demented. The artist and the art gallery people are pretty sick for doing/allowing such a thing to be shown while calling it “art” and the animal rights people for thinking that the killing animals is worth threatening to end a child’s life. To take a quote from the “Say Anything Blog” that I got this article from, I don’t understand either thing and I hope to God I never do. There’s something seriously wrong with both sides. Liberalism

    FITNA en LIVELEAK (act.)

    Después de todos los problemas para su publicación, por fin Fitna ha sido publicada gracias a Liveleak via Wake up America y Michelle Malkin. Sed pacientes porque todo el mundo la está intentando ver y tarda (bastante) en cargarse (de hecho, no la he podido ver hasta el final): La película tiene algunas escenas bastante fuertes (la del degüello del secuestrado...) pero responde a lo que Geert Wilders había anunciado: una denuncia de la violencia intrínseca a ciertas Suras del Corán. Spree in the above post says: As MM explains it ends with the image of a hand about to tear out the murderous verses of the Koran and a sound effect of tearing (with a caption explaining that the sound was actually the sound of a page being torn from a phonebook)." Other portions shows a Jihadist declaring they will rule the work, "We will take over the USA!!", "We will take over the UK!", "We will take over Europe!", and "You will defeat them all and you will get victory!"Como explica MM termina con la imagen de una mano que está a punto de comenzar a arrancar los versos asesinos del Corán y con un efecto de sonido de efectivamente ir a arrancar la hoja (con una nota que señala que el sonido era realmente el de arrancar una hoja de una lista telefónica). Otras partes muestran un jihadista declarando que gobernarán el mundo, "Gobernaremos los EEUU", "Gobernaremos en Gran Bretaña", "Gobernaremos en Europa", y "Vosotros los vencereis y obtendreis una victoria". En el link de JW: The film went from 420,000 views to 781,000 views in about 30 minutes, so be patient and keep trying.La película pasó de 420.000 visionados a 781.000 en sólo 30 minutos así que sed pacientes y seguir probando. Otros que se han hecho eco: Riehl World View. Jihad Watch. IBA. Velvet Hammer on Ironic Surrealism. VH dice que puede descargarse por un torrent: Hot Air Update: A tipster tells me this is the torrent. I’m not vouching for it. I haven’t downloaded it. Proceed at your own risk. Update: All right, the torrent worked like a charm. When I first started downloading, there were something like eight people sharing. By the time I was done, it was 61. The movie will be all over the world in hours. Internet fee-vah!A mí no me ha funcionado (porque hay mucha gente conectada ahora). Es posible que mañana se pueda. Infidels are Cool. A dime a dozen blog. Small Dead Animals. Extreme Centre.org. Jihadi du Jour. World Divided. Tel-Chai Nation. Always On Watch: Additional information from Sons of Apes and Pigs: THE HAGUE (AFP) Dutch MP Geert Wilders has posted his anti-Islamic film, which has sparked wide condemnation and fears of a backlash, on the Internet on Thursday. The first minutes of the 15-minute movie show a Koran being opened and the text of a sura from Islam's holiest tome, which it translated from Arabic as imploring the faithful to "terrorize the enemies of Allah". (...) "Stop Islamisation, Defend our freedom," the film concludes. El parlamentario holandés Geert Wilders ha posteado su película anti-islámica, que ha producido condenación generalizada y temores de un enfrentamiento, en Internet este jueves. Los primeros minutos de la película de quince minutos muestran al Corán siendo abierto y el teto de una sura del tomo más sagrado del Islam, que es traducida al árabe implorando a los creyentes "aterrorizar a los enemigos de Alá". (...) Parad la islamización, defended nuestra libertad", con ello termina la película. A Blog for All. LiveLeak issued the following statement: LiveLeak.com has a strict stance on remaining unbiased and allowing freedom of speech as so far as the law and our rules allow. There was no legal reason to refuse Geert Wilders the right to post his film (Fitna) on LiveLeak.com and it is not our place to censor people based on an emotive response. We in no way endorse Geert Wilders, his views, nor the views expressed within Fitna. To many of us involved in LiveLeak.com some of the messages therein are personally offensive. That being said, our being offended is no reason to deny Mr Wilders the right to have his film seen. Pre-emptive censorship or a discriminatory policy towards freedom of speech are both things we oppose here on LiveLeak.com. A person has a simple, clear choice about whether to view this film. No one is being forced to view it and nor is it being broadcasted on every channel on their television set. If you click on media simply to be annoyed, it is pointless to blame others for your choice.A muchos de nosotros de los que trabajamos en LiveLeak.com algunos de los mensajes que expone nos parece personalmente ofensivos. Esto dicho que nos sintamos ofendidos no es razón para denegar a Wilders el derecho que tiene a que su película sea vista. La censura previa o una política discriminatoria hacia la libertad de expresión son cosas a las que nos oponemos aquí en Liveleak.com. Fullosseous Flap. JamieWearing Fool. Weblogging. Pursuing Holliness: Right now, Islamists are trying to kidnap us. If we allow ourselves to be subject to Islamic law, that is the secondary crime scene where we’ll pay the jizya and to live the life of a dhimmi. It’s where we’ll begin to cover ourselves to avoid being raped. It’s where we will not be equal under the law. Consider life in Saudi Arabia, or life in Afghanistan under the Taliban. No matter where you board it, that’s where the sharia train stops. The change is happening gradually, with increasing calls for sharia in the west. Outlawing criticism of Islam will hasten our enslavement.Justo ahora los islamistas están intentando secuestrarnos. Si permitimos ser sujetos a la ley Islámica, este sería la segunda parte de la escena del crimen en la que estaremos obligados a pagar la jizya y a vivir la vida de un dimmi. Será cuando tengamos que empezar a cubrirnos para impedir que alguien nos viole. Será cuando no seamos iguales bajo la ley. Considera la vida en Arabia Saudí, o en Afganistán bajo los talibanes. No importa dónde lo cojas, ahí es donde para el tren de la Sharia. El cambio está sucediendo gradualmente, con llamadas crecientes a la sharia en el oeste. Prohibir la crítica del islam simplemente apresurará nuestra esclavitud. Snapped Shot. The Jawa Report. Ace of Spades. Gateway Pundit. Fitna meaning mischief in Arabic is the name of Dutch right-wing MP Geert Wilders' 15-minute film on the Qur'an. A Muslim group is going to court tomorrow to seek a fine on Wilders: A Dutch judge is due on Friday to hear the petition of a Muslim group seeking an independent review of an anti-Quran film by lawmaker Geert Wilders to see whether it violates hate speech laws. The petition, seen by The Associated Press Thursday at the Hague District Court, says the Dutch Islamic Federation "believes the situation of Muslims in the Netherlands today is comparable with that of our Jewish fellow-citizens in the 1930s."...Except that the Jews in the 1930's weren't threatening to blow up government buildings or behead their detractors, of course.Fitna quiere decir engaño en árabe. Mañana un grupo musulmán va a pedir a los tribunales que imponga una multa a Wilders. Le van a pedir que decida si viola o no las leyes contra el discurso de odio. La petición, que ha sido vista por AP en el Tribunal del Distrito de la Haya, dice que la Federación Holandesa islámica "cree que la situación de los musulmanes en Holanda es comparable a la que tuvieron nuestros compañeros ciudadanos judíos en los años 30... excepto que, como señala Jim, los judíos en los años 30 no estaban amenazando con volar edificios del Gobierno o degollar a sus contratistas, por supuesto.

Muslims want you to make way for Islam, but Islam does not make way for you. The government insists that you respect Islam, but Islam has no respect for you. Islam wants to rule, submit, and seeks to destroy our western civilization. In 1945, Nazism was defeated in Europe. In 1989, Communism was defeated in Europe. Now the Islamic ideology has to be defeated. Lo traduzco: Los musulmanes quieren que hagas un sitio al Islam/pero el Islam no te hace a tí un sitio. El Gobierno insiste en que tú respetes el islam, pero el islam no te respeta a tí. El Islam quiere dominar, someter y busca destruir la civilización occidental. En el 1945, el nazismo fue derrotado en Europa. En 1989, el Comunismo fue derrotado en Europa. Ahora la ideología islámica tiene que ser derrotada. Ohh, por fin.. y no lo he escrito yo The Brussels Journal. Geenstijl (Dutch reactions). Israel Matzav. Mosquewatch. Reason Online: That Wilders possesses extremist views, that his interpretation of Islam is both reductive and puerile, is of no particular relevance in this case, unless one subscribes to the view that there exists an arbitrary boundary between right to free speech and freedom from offense. Once Fitna is broadcast—either via non-state television or the Internet—it is incumbent upon on those who value a society where freedom of expression is respected, and a society free of intimidation against those who question the probity of prophets, to engage the film on its intellectual merits.El que Wilders tenga ideas extremistas, que su interpretación del Islam sea reductora y pueril, no tiene una particular relevancia en este caso, si no suscribes la idea de que existe un límite arbitrario entre el derecho a la libertad de epresión y la libertad ecluida la ofensa. Una vez que Fitna ha sido publicada -ya sea por medio de una televisión no estatal o procedente de Internet- es importante para los que valoren una sociedad en la que la libertad de epresión sea respetada, y una sociedad libre de intimidación frente a los que cuestión la probidad de los profetas, juzgar la película por sus méritos intelectuales. Dust My Broom. Planck's Constant (casi me parto de la risa al leer este post): Fitna is a horrible piece of garbage: I haven't seen it of course, but 1.5 billion Muslims can't be wrong, can they? I'm not alone, there are many other reviewers who also have not seen the film that agree with me; Pakistan, Youtube, Dutch Leftists, 200 lawmakers in Afghanistan, Network Solutions, and countless other Muslim apologists in the non-Muslim world.Fitna es un horrible pedazo de basura. No, no la he visto, pero 1,5 billones de musulmanes no pueden equivocarse, ¿no? No estoy solo, hay otros muchos que han comentado la película que no la han visto y que está de acuerdo conmigo: Paquistán, Youtube, los izquierdistas daneses, 200 parlamentarios de Afganistán, Network Solutions, y otros incontables apologistas musulmanes en el mundo no musulmán.

We already know that... but why on earth are these one the ones we keep on hearing once and again (with very few exceptions)??). Nice Deb. The Jawa Report.

Amboy Times: Immediately after the news, the Dutch government went into a crisis meeting to discuss a reaction to the film. It is expected that Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende will give a response to Wilders' action later tonight. (...) The Dutch politician said in an interview tonight on Dutch national television that his intention is to condemn the ideology of the Koran. "I do not hate the Muslim people," he stated. He also announced that his party will organize meetings in the future to start a dialogue with Muslims. "Fitna" was originally to be presented at a March 28 press conference in the Hague, the Dutch center of politics. Due to extreme security costs, the event was cancelled.Inmediatamente después de las noticias, el gobierno holandés entró en crisis, reuniéndose para discutir una reacción a la película. Se espera que el Primer Ministro Balkenende dé una respuesta a la acción de Wilders por la noche. El político holandés (se refiere a Wilders) dijo en una entrevista hoy en la televisión nacional holandesa que su intención es condenar la ideología del Corán. "No odio a los musulmanes", dijo. También anunció que su partido organizará encuentros en el futuro para comenzar el diálogo con los musulmanes. "Fitna" iba a ser originalmente presentada en una conferencia de prensa el 28 de marzo en La Haya, el centro político de Holanda. Pero debido a costes extremos de seguridad, el evento fue cancelado. DJ Konservo: Since the film was divided into three main topics, namely 1) excerpts from the Qur’an, 2) shocking imagery and statements from Muslims and 3) a very small amount of statistical data is presented, I think that it is worth viewing (and besides, you know you’re curious ), however, I would have liked to see more of topics 1) and 3) and less of the emotional appeals of 2).Como la película está dividida en tres temas importantes: esto es, 1) las suras del Corán 2) imágenes muy fuertes y declaraciones de musulmanes y 3) una pequeña parte de datos estadísticos, creo que debe verse aunque me hubiera gustado que hubiera más de 1 y de 3 y menos de apelaciones emocionales del 2. Well, err, I really believe a lot of people would see all of that imaginery for the first time. And it's really important it's seen. Besides, it's a film: a lot of people wouldn't see it, IF it was ideological (only eplaining the ideology: there are a lot of people who are more called by "blood" scenes). It's just a call for attention... whatever you see it or not, whatever you like it or not. Crispal. The Augean Stables.

    Geert Wilders - "Fitna"

    http://averagegayjoe.blogspot.com/2008/03/geert-wilders-fitn...
    45 days ago in Average Gay Joe · Authority: 25

    I'm glad this was released and have had the chance to watch it. I can't say that it's the best short film I've ever seen, but it does make many good points. I didn't see this film as anti-Islam so much as anti-Islamist. Since Muslim extremists justify their barbarism from the Qur'an I believe the verses used in this film are legitimate points to raise. This doesn't say much about the religion itself, after all the Bible has some hair-raising verses as well, but it does in how it's practiced by many. All in all though, I really don't care if anyone is offended. I'm offended by many Muslims who use their faith to justify this savagery, excuse it or simply ignore it. Turn your religion into an evil ideology and you can expect a negative reaction. Those who are Muslim and do not believe as the Islamists do have the unfortunate responsibility to turn this around. It may seem unfair but frankly TFB. If Christians were doing likewise you'd better believe I'd be holding their feet to the fire. Yet unlike Islam, Christianity went through the Renaissance, Reformation, Counter-Reformation, Enlightenment, etc. It's time that Islam faces the same. So without further ado, here's Wilders' film in 2 parts: h/t Gateway Pundit & Hot Air UPDATE: Looks like Wilders made at least one serious error in this short film. Very sloppy. Edin has a good defamation case and will undoubtedly pursue it. UPDATE: And the hits keep on coming (h/t Gateway Pundit)... Former Dutch Labour Party politician Ehsan Jami, the founder of the Committee of ex-Muslims, has announced that he is producing an anti-Islamic cartoon called The Life of Muhammad. It will be released on the 20th of April. The film will show a sexually aroused Prophet Muhammad with his nine-year-old wife Aisha. Members of the Dutch Muslim and government contact organisation, CMO, who have viewed a section of the film, say they will go to court in an attempt to have The Life of Muhammad banned. The organisation has described the film as totally unacceptable and extremely offensive. (Radio Netherlands) This film may indeed be offensive, but TFB because freedom of speech is not trumped by personal sensitivities. If I have to tolerate anti-Christian films like The Last Temptation of Christ, Muslims can damn well do likewise with this one. Of course in the case of The Last Temptation it was such a long and boring movie that the fact it was controversial when released in 1988 is amazing now. The only part of that film that was even remotely intriguing was, well, the last temptation scene even if they spoiled it by being overly graphic.

    Fitna: The Movie You Must Watch

    http://www.red-alerts.com/islamic-expansionism/fitna-the-mov...
    45 days ago in Red Alerts · Authority: 75

    Fitna is up and the Islamic community has already begun trying to censor it. The YouTube version is already flagged and sites hosting it have suffered attacks, specifically Geert Wilders sites have been having problems today. Michelle Malkin, The U.A.C. and Gateway Pundit all have the film and coverage. Here’s the movie, take the time to sit through it and see Wilders message. It’s one we need to hear in the West. YouTube version Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzDlqNuPULc YouTube version Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_4oreTDvWM Here’s the Google version: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8679512397355763414 Live Leak is promising to not take the film down, you can find that version here. The movie doesn’t cover new ground, but it does compress a lot of material into a neat 17 minutes. Time tends to dull the shock of Islamic atrocity on the West, but in the short film format it is easier to conceptualize the threat against Western Civilization. Update:Message from LiveLeak: Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realized LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one. Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture. We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high. In other words the filthy Fabian Marxists in control of the British media collaborated with Islamists who were threatening to murder LiveLeak workers. Isn’t it time we pulled out of England, scrapped our special “relationship” with them and let them fall to Islam? Update: Truly the Europeans are a craven and filthy people. They have already surrendered to Islamic Imperialism. Update: A message from Mosquewatch, take it to heart.

    This is the movie that Geert Wilder made despite the threats on his life made by Islamofascists, opposition from the Netherlands, and his shameful webhost Network Solutions canceling his webhosting due to pressure from Islamic groups. You may download a zipped flv file at WikiLeaks. Download a Free FLV Player at the bottom of this page. Tell your friends about the movie, and get them to watch it. And to all you who would attempt to flag this movie as unsuitable...there are thousands of us in the counterjihad networks who have copies, and will upload it as many times as it takes to keep it online! God Bless Geert Wilder, and Long Live the Counterjihad! This is the version uploaded to youtube by NewsGuy2005. I made it into a playlist so you can watch this version if Live Leak is blocked on your provider. And, here is the Google Version uploaded by the Jawa Report. **update** 10.44pm Lefties and other allies of Islamofascism have already taken down the wikipedia page referenced in the film, and have corrupted a second one set up as a news item. His party's website was taken down, but they have since been able to get it back up. Hopefully, the cyberjihaids won't knock it back off. I'll have a full round up tomorrow morning. Things are going a bit too fast to keep up. Here are just a few of the people tracking the events: The Gathering Storm Radio Show, which will have Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch (if the big boys don't pre-empt) will have coverage Friday afternoon.
