Last week Barry Rubin at PJ Media reported that a prior article of his (“Egypt: As Grim Islamists March Toward Power, The Naïve Dance in Tahrir Square”) had been banned from the official government websites of, well… a European country whose capitol is soon to be renamed Londonistan. If you happen to work for the British government and try to access Rubin’s article, this message pops up:

Access denied — reason given : hate speech.

 
As Rubin rightly concludes from this episode; “free speech is now conditional on someone’s judgment of your viewpoint.” And, “all of the intimidation and censorship are in one direction.” Bingo!
 
To illustrate; this – of course – is not hate speech:
 

 
But substitute “Islam” for “Israel” and you’d be marked for death.
 
The video below presents invaluable information about the threat the west is facing. It’s vital that we have a clear understanding of the tactics being employed against us (- know thy enemy). Using historical examples, and the Koran’s own words, David Wood explains the three stages of Islamic Jihad.
 
Stage one is “Stealth Jihad;” preach peace and tolerance – and claim “victim” status. Stage two is fighting unbelievers who pose a physical or intellectual threat. And, uh-oh, criticizing Islam is considered an attack on Islam. So, in their warped worldview, when they blow up a bunch of innocent civilians, radical Muslims are merely counter-attacking their critics.
 
Watch the whole thing – it’s well worth the time.
 

 
“Three Stages of Jihad” is from Acts 17 Apologetics which has several similar videos posted on their YouTube site; critical information presented in an engaging format with a lightly satirical tone. Also check out their blog: Answering Muslims.
 
We should all be very grateful to people like Barry Rubin, Robert Spencer (of Jihad Watch), Geert Wilder, Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs), Brigitte Gabriel (ACT! for America) and organizations like Acts 17 Apologetics for having the courage to stand up and speak the truth about the “Religion of Peace” – while they still have that freedom.
