Lawful Anti-Islamism with New Effective Human Rights Organizations

Submitted by Michelle T (Canada), Jan 15, 2007 at 01:18

There is one aspect of the war on Islam that needs more attention, and that could be called, if I could bend your term a bit, Mr. Pipes, lawful anti-Islamism. We could use existing national and international laws and institutions, that they so adeptly use against us, and turn them against them by exposing the truth of their culture and their actions.

If existing institutions prove to be hopelessly infiltrated by their sympathisers, then let's create a credible parallel system for some of them, such as for human rights organizations.

Taking a page from the environmental movement, people didn't rely on government or industry to tackle ecological problems. What really worked was a combination of grass roots and large organizations such as Greenpeace. Together they were able to raise funds, take action, and educate people about the issues. A similar combination is needed to expose the violation of human rights in the name of Islam and the erosion of our own Western values in the name of appeasement and political correctness.

We all know what an uphill battle has been to expose the savagery in Darfour. The UN has paid lip service to it, at best. That's why we need our own "greenpeace for human rights" untainted by political correctness and political corruption.

One of its key mandates should be to prove complete financial transparency and no funding from sources suspect of connections to Islam to avoid the usual compromising. Another should be to engage solely in the exposing true information, with absolutely no violence or lawbreaking (unlike some environmental organizations).

There are many organizations and individuals that do an absolutely excellent job in researching and disseminating the truth, like Mr Pipes, for example. Perhaps there could be one all-encompassing umbrella association representing them that would shine the light on issues that are too uncomfortable for most governments and influential people to face, and do it in a way that would appeal to the media. This last point is very important. People's attention is being constantly distracted and there has to be some way to put this pro-Western agenda at the forefront.

This new organization should have impeccable credibility as well as have broad support from these pro-Western anti-Islamic organizations. It should be an alternative voice with its own equivalent of Nobel Prizes, one with its own well-publicized activities. Its agenda would not be about hate-mongering but about the defense of human rights and Western values.

There is plenty of legislation that does not get applied because of political correctness. We need to challenge governments into enforcing existing human rights laws.

We need to go back to the fundamentals of Western civilization and uphold those values and tell the public , in a strong voice, how they are being compromised. We need to show, without reticence, how Islam is engaging in outrageous violations of human rights, such as slavery, rape, and mass murder. People need to know this and need to be frequently reminded. The media by themselves are not doing their job well enough.

There has to be an alternative to the old and useless UN, Amnesty International, etc., etc. We cannot rely on corrupt and compromised institutions to watch over human rights any more. The war against Islam is a war of ideas, of human rights, and a war for fair and unbiased reporting by the media.
