Australian 'no-go' zones

I'll go look at a cathedral for the history and architecture, but you won't get me into a service.

For those of us who like classical music, they are fantastic. Ever heard Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D-minor in one of those? Gabrieli's Canzons for brass instruments sound extra good there too.

If there's gregorian chanting, you could get me to stay for a service...

Those who submit to the will of Allah are identically incapable of offending muslims about their prophet.

It's funny how hard it is to tell apart an appeaser from a submitted adherent.

I'm not an appeaser, but I understand why you might be.

Do you remember the Texas 'Draw Mohommad' contest, where an attacker was shot by attendees?

Which side do you take on that? Is it wrong to have that kind of art? Is it wrong to attempt murder over that kind of art? Is there something in the middle?

Because the religion of submission requires only that you submit.

I don't submit to religion, but I understand why you might.

would you hand out those pamphlets, in front of mosques and other areas where Muslims are found? To support the inclusion of LGBTQ+AIP in the Islamic community.

I wouldn't hand out pamphlets, but I understand why you would.





(Jeez, this trolling business is hard work!)

Can you say why not?

Or is that haram, or non-kosher, or whatever it's called...?

Would you hand out art showing the Pope buggering a choir-boy in a Catholic area in NI?

I had to intervene today and tell a co-worker that our project source code is an enforced "No Goto"-Zone.

Still in use?

The key point, in my view, though, is that there needs to be a clear legal line as to who is in the right and who is in the wrong. A white supremacist marching down the street in Harlem or the Bronx might well be in danger, but he shouldn't be. As long as he restricts his behavior to speech, leafletting, etc, then he is within the law.

Yes, that is the clear legal line. Which can be exploited. Lauren Southern's reputation was well known before she arrived in Lakemba to stir things up. She was one of the four participants in the Génération identitare's attempt to block the ship Aquarius, owned by SOS Mediterranée and Doctors without Borders, from leaving Sicily. The Aquarius was being used to search for unseaworthy craft in the Mediterranean Sea and rescue their passengers, mostly refugees from the Syrian war. Génération identitare released a statement in which said of its action: "It is a declaration of war."

Génération identitare's stunt, and Southern's participation in it made headlines around the world. You can bet your bottom dollar that Australians were well aware of what was going on, particularly the Muslims among us. They would have recognised her when she traipsed down Haldon Street, and they would have correctly perceived her motive as being to stir up trouble by her mere presence. She was not being a comic. She was a participant of a group that declared war on Muslims. The cops were doing the exact right thing when they stopped her and forbade her to head to the Lakemba mosque in order to provoke more Muslims there. They were doing their job, which among other things is to preserve the peace. You can stick your talk of a clear legal line as to who is in the right and who is in the wrong up your arse.

And you can stick your bullshit rationalization of the State silencing political speech and preventing a person's free movement in public, for no reason other than her "mere presence" would provoke others to commit crimes - you can shove your bullshit up your ass. And, you can shove your rationalization of cops preventing a person from peacefully speaking their mind in public, because the police think people hearing the words will be provoked into illegal activity, right up your ass.

Your rationalization is insulting to Muslims, most of whom are quite able to withstand the onslaught of words which might be negative to their political positions or even their religion. So you can shove that up your ass.

You wouldn't like be supportive of a Muslim activist being approached from approaching a Catholic church's neighborhood because Christians might be provoked into violence by his or her words or presence. And, if you do think that's right for the cops to block that person's movement, then you can shove that bullshit up your ass too.

Fuck off.

pie jesu domine, dona eis requiem - hate speech, cuz, like, it's not inclusive. It says our lord jesus let him rest - and not everyone thinks Jesus is Lord - it's hateful to Muslims, atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. Shouldn't be allowed in public, especially in a "Muslim area" where it will provoke Muslims to violence by the chanter's mere presence.
