Agreement or disagreement on the background or motive of Spencer is largely irrelevant.

What is relevant is freedom of speech and the ability to express truth or evidence as one finds it.

That is being stifled to a great degree today as everyone is hung up on the 'isms' and being accused of committing crimes against idealogy.

Therefore the truth and the evidence supporting it is often concealed under this blanket of fear of being labelled Racist, Sexist, Homophobe, Xenophobe and so on ...

How the hell did we come to this?

Islam is a religion unlike others. While the majority of MUSLIMS are peaceful folk just wanting to go about their lives happily - like the majority of everyone else, the religion of Islam proclaims that we non-muslims are basically non-persons. It also urges followers to defend Islam above all else including killing unbelievers.

No other 'great' religion - Christian, Buddist, Hindu etc requires such actions from its adherents.

While there have been numerous attacks and murders by Muslim fanatics on persons who have spoken out against Islam, I cannot recall an instance of the same being carried out against any prominent Muslim who has come out with inflammatory rhetoric against non-muslims. There well may be cases but very rare.

On the other hand we have the global spectacle of muslims enthusiastically killing each other over differences of religious interpretation or 'culcha' and a good many fleeing to other countries to escape the danger.

Trouble is, an hour after unpacking they are usually looking for ways to make their new home just like their old home that they left. WTH?

Bottom line: I too fear for my children and grandchildrens futures if we continue to 'shoot the messenger' because someone shouts 'racist' or the like. Wake up Australia!

Richard Stokes has tried to draw attention to a real and present threat to liberty, and scrambled his warning out of all recognition by forcing it into an invented framework beloved of social engineers - “left” and “right”. In the watershed of human understanding labelled the Enlightenment, a process that began in the mid-17th century, the power of liberty has become increasingly apparent and has brought along with it science, truth, justice, equality before the law, national self-determination based on geographical boundaries, representative government leading towards democracy. The great threat to the Enlightenment process is from the throwbacks. Liberty, to be real, has to be the property of every individual, not just of groups which are the plaything of social engineers.

By counterposing the monstrosity created in a fourth century deal with the Roman tyrant Constantine against the monstrosity created by the murderous seventh century desert paedophile Mohammed who “heard voices”, Stokes leaves us vulnerable to both deadly threats to liberty. Who has slaughtered the most people in a bid to silence dissent, who has slaughtered the most Christians with the same throwback purpose for that matter - the Islamic theocrats or the Church of Rome? For a record of the tyranny of the Islamists, try the works of Ibn Warraq [1]. For a record of the tyranny of the Church of Rome, try Ellen Gould’s “The Great Controversy” [2] or the modern history of Spain and Latin America.

Stokes’ implied apologia for Zionist racism is another false dichotomy counterposing racism against theocracy and asking us to choose.
