Nachdem die indische Tageszeitung The Statesman einen Artikel aus dem Londoner Independet von Johann Hari nachgderuckt hatte (“Why should I respect these oppressive religions?”), wurden der Herausgeber und der Chefredakteur festgenommen.  In dem Artikel hiess es u.a.: “All people deserve respect, but not all ideas do. I don’t respect the idea that a man was born of a virgin, walked on water and rose from the dead. I don’t respect the idea that we should follow a “Prophet” who at the age of 53 had sex with a nine-year old girl, and ordered the murder of whole villages of Jews because they wouldn’t follow him. I don’t respect the idea that the West Bank was handed to Jews by God and the Palestinians should be bombed or bullied into surrendering it. I don’t respect the idea that we may have lived before as goats, and could live again as woodlice. This is not because of “prejudice” or “ignorance”, but because there is no evidence for these claims. They belong to the childhood of our species, and will in time look as preposterous as believing in Zeus or Thor or Baal.” Obwohl sich Hari über Christen, Juden und Moslems gleichermaßen lustig machte, gab es Ärger nur wegen “Beleidigung des Islam”.

Jihad is fully upon the West, both by stealth and by more and more open displays of Islamic aggression, hatred, and violence. Free speech… is under the most profound siege. The United Nations has long been lost, Europe, (at least England, Holland, and possibly France), have rapidly become dhimmi states.
