Muslim Brags That Muslims Are Winning The War Against Free Speech
"Muslims are winning the argument about supposed freedom of speech," (through the rioting and violence and the creation of fear), according to a piece in Crescent Magazine by Iqbal Siddiqui:

In almost all cases, Muslim reaction starts on a relatively small, often local scale, escalating as word spreads around the Ummah, which may happen very quickly or take weeks or months. Nowadays, this is often on the back of internet or social networking campaigns, although these tools of communication were not available at the time of Rushdie's satanic prose. The forms of protest vary from place to place, ranging from letter-writing and media campaigns in Western countries, to violent anger on the streets of Muslim cities, often targeting Western embassies and other institutions, including both those directly associated with the attack and others.

...The real aim of the Muslim response, as the late Dr. Kalim Siddiqui said, was to take a stance, to say, "...you may have gone this far, but you go no farther; and in future, you will never go this far again." And that is precisely what has been achieved. The Rushdie book may remain in circulation, but it has never been serialised or filmed or adapted for television or the stage. And no author has tried to produce another book treating the Prophet (pbuh) in a similar way, at any level, from that of high literature claimed by Rushdie to the mass market level of popular fiction. There will never be anti-Islamic equivalents of The Last Temptation of Christ or Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. That is the measure of Muslim success.

...And this is not just a matter of people fearing the personal or commercial consequences of Muslim anger, though that is clearly a factor. It is also a broader recognition that Islam still enjoys a standing in the world, reflected in the fervour and commitment of its followers, that no other faith or culture maintains. It is a recognition, however subconscious or grudging, and however much it may be denied, that Islam is not just history; it is not just a remnant of an irrelevant and increasingly forgotten past. It is a vibrant, living, thriving civilizational force with the potential to reinvigorate the societies of those who follow it...

Yes, with violence, death or forced conversion to Islam as the Quran commands.

People need to wake up that Islam is not just another religion but a violent, totalitarian system bent on removing the freedoms of all of us through installing The New Caliphate around the globe.

Those trying to advance Islam use Western technology, made possible through the freedoms born of The Enlightenment, to try to ship us all back to the dark ages they live in, where women have the rights of furniture and gays and lesbians are slaughtered as per the Quran.

Start reading the Quran and Hadith, and reading about Islam, as I have since 9/11, and you'll be horrified by what you find. And FYI, the later Medina Quran (the latter part) abrogates the nicey-nicey passages in the early portion of the Quran, the Mecca Quran, from the time before Mohammed had power. Back then, he was pretending to be all inter-faith-y.

Once Mohammed got power, he showed himself to be a raping, looting, pathologically narcissistic mass murderer.

I'm an atheist, but thanks, I'll take the Jesus believers and all that "turn the other cheek" and "feed the poor" stuff. They believe some nasty stuff, too, but they aren't telling me I have to accept Jesus as my savior or they're going to stone me in the parking lot of Home Depot.
