    Nice find.

     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    (Posthumous) Islamist Comedy Award for Charlie Hebdo: http://blog.thecst.org.uk/?p=5285


    @J_Bloodworth

    Sometimes an organisation reveals its true nature by deliberately behaving in a way that others can only interpret as blatantly stupid, crass and offensive. This happened last week with Islamist-prisoner advocacy group, CAGE, whose director referred to a notorious Islamic State beheader as having been “a beautiful young man”: not so much Jihadi John as Jilted John.

    Some of the outrage against CAGE was rightly directed against the Quaker-linked Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, which had given hundreds of thousands of pounds funding to the group.

    Now, another past recipient of the Trust’s generosity has also soiled the sheets: the Islamic Human Rights Commission, who have given an “Islamophobia Award” to the staff of Charlie Hebdo. This, barely two months after eleven people were murdered by a terrorist at Hebdo’s Paris headquarters. IHRC also made four “positive” awards: recipients did not include Ahmed Merabet, the (French Muslim) police officer who was murdered outside the Hebdo offices as he lay wounded on the pavement.

    Rowntree gave the IHRC £60,000 from 2005 to 2007. The funding ended shortly after IHRC’s “Prisoners of Faith Campaign Pack” for convicted terrorist Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (pdf here).

    IHRC is an Islamist advocacy group that organises London’s al-Quds Rally, an annual event called by the late Ayatollah Khomeini to demand Israel’s destruction. The rally’s Iranian and Lebanese iterations are especially prone to venomous anti-Israel and anti-American hatred.

    IHRC also organises another annual event, the Islamophobia Awards. IHRC claim it helps to show that Muslims have a sense of humour: something that is notably absent from the fascistic al-Quds rallies by Hizbollah, Revolutionary Guards and others in Beirut, Teheran and elsewhere.

    This year’s Islamophobia Awards went to Maajid Nawaz, Theresa May, Fox News, American Sniper…and the staff of Charlie Hebdo. The event was covered by Iranian broadcaster Press TV. Their two minute news segment concluded:

    " None of the winners of the Islamophobia Awards were present to pick up this dubious accolade"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hiWXwPfeWA

    Like its Iranian paymasters, Press TV is no laughing matter (even including George Galloway’s programmes for them). So, we can assume that the above was an unfortunate choice of words: rather than a case of adding mere insult to deadly injury.

    Aaron Keily of the National Executive of the National Union of Students has enthusiastically tweeted about the event, including a picture of a promotional brochure with positive messages from columnist Peter Oborne and the former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, who states:

    "it is crucial to have people who challenge [negative stereotypes]…These awards are of great significance in such a task and I send my congratulations and warm greetings to all involved."

    Jews have long known that the stupidity and power of racism makes it a highly suitable target for satire. Nevertheless, it is counter-productive lunacy to think that the fight against contemporary anti-Muslim hatred is helped by giving sarcastic awards to the victims of Jihadist terrorism.

    IHRC produces country reports on human rights abuses e.g. Nigeria.[50][51] It also submits reports to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism at the United Nations. The list of countries it has submitted reports on in the period 2007 – 2010 are: Iraq, China, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, France, Sri Lanka, The Philippines, Tunisia, Morocco, India, Bahrain, United Kingdom.[52]

    It has also produced several critical works overviewing anti-terrorism laws, particularly in the UK. Its 2006 report 'Anti-terrorism: A Modern day Witch-hunt' by Fahad Ansari was praised by Tony Benn and Bruce Kent. According to Benn:

    Scholarly work of this kind helps us by emphasising the importance of Civil Liberties to all communities.[54]

    Kent stated it was a:

    ... most interesting – and shocking – terrorism report... it will do much good.[54]


    Another quote from the Wikipedia article:

    Quote
    ...according to the now defunct Awaaz, the IHRC is "a radical Islamist organisation that uses the language of human rights to promote an extremist agenda including the adoption of shariah law".[5] In a report entitled "The Islamist Right – key tendencies", Awaaz also states the IHRC is part of a corpus of right-wing Islamist and neo-Khomeiniist organisations,[6] a charge the IHRC denies.[7] Awaaz's claims were echoed by journalist Melanie Phillips, who stated in The Spectator that the IHRC was, "the most conspicuous promoter of Khomeini jihadism in the UK, ... [and] is said to be close to Iran."[8]

    One day people will decide that "Islamophobe" is a badge of honour, and then what will these people do?

    Until they seize state apparatus like the communists, the power of them branding people "Islamophobe" is that the wider society (generally) shuns (overt) bigots.

    By expanding the term (let's not discuss how legitimate the term even is, as I agree that anti-Muslim bigotry is a much better term. Let's assume they are trying to convey the same idea) to the point of almost meaninglessness, or even to the point of provocation to the wider (generally peace-loving) public, people might start to think that "I will be proud to be an Islamophobe if you define Islamophobe like this", then what do they do now when this word loses all its power in the wider society?

    let me add  this from  http://www.muslimactionforum.com/freedom_of_speech.php

    The following are examples of legal constraints to ‘freedom of expression’ in the United Kingdom  to fry Stephen Fry
    Quote


    •   The Human Rights Act Article 10: Freedom of Expression – under Article 10 everyone has the right of freedom of expression. However, the exercise of these freedoms is limited: “The exercise of these freedoms… may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society…”

    •   Public Order Act 1986 – prohibits certain acts intended or likely to stir up racial hatred including the use of words or behaviour or displays of written material which are threatening, abusive or insulting and intended to stir up racial hatred.

    •   Obscene Publications Act 1959 – makes commercial dealings in obscene items, or possession of them a criminal offence. With or without a prosecution, the items can be seized under a magistrate's warrant and, after a hearing to determine whether they contravene the statute, can be forfeited.

    •   Libel & Slander Laws – seek to prevent defamatory statements of an individual in writing and speech. Jeffrey Archer successfully sued for libel in 1987 over claims in the Daily Star that he had had sex with a prostitute. He was awarded £500,000 in damages.

    •   The Official Secrets Act 1989 – makes the disclosure of confidential material from government sources by employees a criminal offence. There is no public-interest defence, and disclosure of information already in the public domain is still a criminal offence.

    •   The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 – protest without permit within a 1km radius of Parliament. The first conviction under the Act was in December 2005 when Maya Evens was convicted for reading the names of British soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed in the Iraq War.

    •   Data Protection Act 1884 – places restrictions on communicating personal data with third parties.

    •   Protection of Children Act 1978
    – makes it a criminal offence to take, permit to be taken or make; to distribute or show; to have in one's possession with a view to distribution or showing by oneself or others; an indecent photograph or psuedo photograph of a child.

    •   S.43 Telecommunications Act 1984 – makes it an offence to send by a public telecommunications system a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.


    Many of those rules and acts can be used to shut many forums like CEMB if  organizations like   "muslim action forum"  become a political force to control rules and regulations for the society.  Let us take for e.g that 'Uncivilised Expressionists' from MAF

    Quote
    Definition – a psychological disposition of the human mind which insults and maligns others without care or consideration of consequences. Examples of such behavior against Muslims are:

    That Terrible Attack on that Editor of French magazine Charlie Hebdo is back in the news..News from LAND OF SAND says Sales of books on Islam rocket after France attacks

    Quote
    Paris: Books on Islam are selling out in France after deadly extremist attacks in the capital raised uncomfortable questions about Europe’s fastest-growing religion. A special magazine supplement focused on the Qur'an has flown off the shelves, and shops are selling more books on Islam than ever after the Paris attacks in January that left 17 dead.

    “The French are asking more and more questions, and they feel less satisfied than ever by the answers they’re getting from the media,” said Fabrice Gerschel, director of Philosophie magazine, which published the supplement. Sales of books on Islam were three times higher in the first quarter of 2015 than this time last year, according to the French National Union of Bookshops.

    Mathilde Mahieux, of La Procure chain of bookshops that specializes in religion, said people want a better understanding of the religion that the brutal Islamic State (IS) group claims to represent, so that they can make up their own minds. The jihadist attacks against the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine and a Jewish supermarket have left many non-Muslims looking for answers.

    “A very Catholic lady came to buy a copy of the Qur'an, because she wanted to understand for herself whether or not (Islam) is a violent religion,” said Yvon Gilabert, who runs a bookshop in Nantes, western France. Others want to see past extremist interpretations of Islam. “I think we have to know how to see past the fundamentalism, in order to see what religions have to offer,” said Patrice Besnard, a regular at a Paris bookshop specializing in religions.


    French academics too are becoming more curious, with a chair in the study of the Qur'an inaugurated on Thursday at the prestigious College de France in Paris. Jean Rony, who teaches at the nearby Sorbonne university, began studying the Muslim holy book for himself this year.
    “Given the situation, I have added sessions on monotheistic religions to my general culture class for students preparing for magistrate exams,” he said.

    Mansour Mansour, who runs the Al Bouraq publishing house specializing on Islam and the Middle East, said his sales have shot up by 30 percent. “The same happened after the September 11 attacks in 2001,” he told AFP. Now the spike is likely to last longer “because Islam will continue to pose a geo-political problem,” Mansour sighed. Part of the interest in France appears to stem from the fact that many of the extremists committing horrific abuses in Islam’s name in Syria and Iraq are of Western origin.
    Quote
    Enraged by the jihadists’ interpretation of the Qur'an, Mansour said his company has withdrawn several books that offered “too literal” an interpretation of Islam from his catalogue. He warned about people diving into reading the Qur'an “unaccompanied” and jumping to conclusions on its highly poetic text. Instead he recommends that the uninitiated start by reading a biography of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).

    What gets me is the Hypocracy, the amount of Muslims I have heard and seen insulting other religions. Even when discussing with other students who were Christian, they giggled at the cartoons of Muhammad and mentioned how sad the whole event was. But when they saw cartoons satirising Jesus, they retracted their statement and stated "The magazine company deserved it."


    I second that, my friends ( one Sikh and one muslim) once told me that the Hindu gods were 'stupid' as one of them had 4 arms.

    Perhaps my next question should have been "So how many arms does YOUR god have?.....Only 2? So is that god better than yours?"

    Also didn't 'prophet' Mo once smash all the idols of all the other gods in the Kabaa only keeping the Black Stone? Pagan-ophobia anyone?
