The Unoriginal Muse

A story has broke recently, regarding a blogger named Lionheart, who faces arrest on his return to the UK over trumped-up charges of inciting racial hatred. (More analysis linked here)

LGF is curiously silent on the matter. Possibly Charles is observing his 24 hour rule but it’s been a bit more than that already, and at last one commenter has decided to use this as an example of why LGF is so morally superior to us european anti-jahadist types.

This link takes us to Instupundent, then to Gates of Vienna, where the Baron Discusses the case of Lionheart who is apparently “going to be arrested by British detectives on suspicion of Stirring up Racial Hatred by displaying written material” contrary to sections 18(1) and 27(3) of the Public Order Act 1986.”

Islam is not a Race.

Those of our former allies who have allowed the Anti-Jihad effort to be associated with racialism are now being caught up in the snares of their own making.

By associating their cause in Europe with racialists of the likes of Vlaams Belaang and the BNP, they have rendered themselves unable to offer up any kind of credible defense against this type of charge. They have put themselves in the position of having little more to say in the witness stand accept “yes, but. . . ” which is about the shittiest defense a person can have.

Snares of our own making…

As if the VB issue somehow allowed the government of Europe and its provincial representatives the excuse to start prosecuting people against who they had no power. Bullshit! The provisions of the act are just loose enough to allow “race” to mean whatever the prosecution wants it to mean, and this has been known since the most recent update to act was first mooted. In fact in its original form this amendment specifically outlawed criticism of Islam as a religion, and was dialed back to be about “race” (as defined by the prosecution, remember) after a huge outcry by just about everyone except muslims. This idiot thinks that the VB drama is providing an excuse… Sorry mate, they never needed an excuse, and a lot of people have already been prosecuted under this act for “race hatred” after criticising muslims, because they, Muslims, call it race hatred and the fucking legal system agrees with them!

Ignorance! God help me, you people, RESEARCH before you start spouting off for christ’s sake…
