How “civil” of them<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Is anyone still having any illusion that Islam (even in its most moderate form) is compatible with freedom of expression?<\/p>\n

Protests against the poorly made, (once) obscure movie “the innocence of the Muslims” are now targeting<\/a> Google headquarters, and they are only starting. 10,000 protesters gathered outside Google offices in London demanding that the movie be taken down.<\/p>\n

Organiser Masoud Alam said: “Our next protest will be at the offices of Google and YouTube across the world. We are looking to ban this film.<\/p>\n

“This is not freedom of expression, there is a limit for that. This insult of the Prophet will not be allowed.<\/p>\n

The group’s next action was a march Mr Alam hoped would be “a million strong” would take place in Hyde Park “in the next few weeks”, he said.<\/p>\n

“Until it is banned we will keep protesting,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of them seem to need a dictionary.<\/p>\n

One of the speakers, Sheikh Faiz Al-Aqtab Siddiqui, told The Daily Telegraph: “Terrorism is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well. The makers of this film have terrorised 1.6 billion people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Terrorized? Seriously? No guns, no explosive, no actual violence…just some bad acting? How can that “terrorize” anyone anyway?<\/p>\n

Sheikh Siddiqui, a barrister from Nuneaton, said he wanted to form a coalition with the Church of England, Catholics, Jewish groups, Trade Unions and even Conservatives to encourage their ranks to join his “campaign for civility”.<\/p>\n

“We want everyone in society to recognise these people are wrecking our fragile global society. We want the Church, the Synod, Jewish groups and establishment figures involved,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What, no secularists? Does that mean we are the last defenders of freedom of expression?<\/p>\n

As many as 800 imams in mosques across Britain helped to organise today’s protest, which lasted four hours and blocked roads almost up to the Queen’s doorstep on Buckingham Palace Road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As always, “moderates” are kind of like God: always missing in action.<\/p>\n

But some of them do have a sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Barricades were erected in front of Google’s headquarters and a crowd bearing placards with the words “We love our prophet more than our lives” and “Prophet Muhammad is the founder of freedom of speech” had amassed by lunchtime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I well believe the first statement, but the second one…lol.<\/p>\n
