Entry: Europe's Cassandra--Enoch Powell and "Rivers of Blood" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/europes_cassandra#24139 Post contents: My previous comment may have created a wrong impression which I want to correct. I did not mean to criticize people who use pen names. Truly, I have never criticized, and I have never felt critical of, people who use pen names; I know that they have valid reasons for doing so. I said what I said because it suddenly struck me that people in this thread were expressing excitement about something (namely an article calling for deportation) which in fact was not new, given that anonymous commenters, even at mainstream conservative sites, often call for deportation. So the thought came to me that that the real threshold in advancing this issue will be crossed, not when anonymous people call for deportation, but when people—numerous people—writing in their own name call for deportation. And of course people in Europe are in a completely different situation from people in the United States. Because of the anti-"hate speech" laws that exist in all Western countries except for the United States, anyone calling for deportation of Muslims, as well as anyone making much milder statements, could be charged with a criminal offense of saying things "that may incite people to acts of discrimination." Notwithstanding the constant invocations of Western "democracy" and "freedom," the peoples of the West outside the U.S. are at present not free, since they are prohibited from publicly discussing the most vital issues facing their countries. This is why I believe the number one priority for Western patriots in Europe, Canada, and Australia is to repeal their respective countries' quasi-totalitarian "hate speech" laws, since no movement to save the West from Islamization and mass immigration will be possible so long as those laws remain in effect. I see European conservatives frequently complain about the effects of these laws; but I don't see many European conservatives say that these laws are totalitarian and totally unacceptable, and that they must be repealed. I repeat, so long as these laws remain on the books, the peoples of the West are not free and they will be helpless to save their countries. People constantly say, "What can we do? If we say anything critical of Islam we will be accused of hate speech." It is true that you can be accused of hate speech for criticizing Islam. But you cannot be accused of hate speech for calling for the repeal of the hate-speech laws. Sent at: 2008 08 30
