Should Free Speech
give way to Political Correctness?
By de Andréa
‘THE
BOTTOM LINE’
Posted July 16, 2018
Where do we draw the line between free speech and bigotry? Where does telling the truth end and bigotry begin? Or should it, or does it matter? Have the current standards of political correctness set by the Left ruled out any honest conversation about the problems we face, example, with Muslim immigrants and Islamic Jihad and terrorism? And finally, how can we solve these problems if we can’t talk about them without being labeled a bigot or a racist.
Although
so-called bigoted speech and any kind of speech is actually protected under the First Amendment,
we may or may not all agree that we don’t necessarily want our elected officials
to be spouting it. A number of recent cases both in the U.S. and the UK are
worth examining to determine how to tackle this problem head-on and where the
line should be drawn or if it should be drawn. And what about telling the
unedited truth?
Read the following three cases and then let me know your opinion
“In the 3rd District here in Illinois, our demographics include
25% Muslims of which very few integrate within the communities keeping
themselves and their activities hidden from the general population. Everywhere
you turn, from Orland Park to Bridgeview, those numbers are increasing leaps
and bounds. We are allowing these people whether they have peaceful intentions
or not into our country without question.”
“Watching President Trump and family this morning [during his
Middle Eastern trip] I am so proud that they represent us! Am particularly
proud that our women are not wearing the headscarves. WE AMERICAN WOMEN ARE
REPRESENTED WITH DIGNITY.”
“Why are all our schools filling with Middle Eastern students
without proper documentation?”
Brannigan,
who refused to resign, apologized three times for the remarks and said in a
statement, “After deep reflection, I can honestly say that my words were poorly
crafted and my feelings were inadequately expressed. Racism and discrimination
is not my intent and is not in my heart.” She further said she was sorry if her
remarks were perceived as anti-Arab or anti-Muslim.
Sarah Champion, a Labor MP in the
United Kingdom, and tireless campaigner for the young victims of sex-grooming,
was forced to resign from her position as
shadow secretary for women and equalities last year.
Frustrated
that years after recommendations to support victims and prevent such abuse in
the future were ignored by endless government commissions, Champion wrote
an article saying:
“Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and
exploiting white girls. There. I
said it. Does that make me a racist? Or am I just prepared to call out this
horrifying problem for what it is? The irony of all of this is that, by not
dealing with the ethnicity of the abusers as a fact, political correctness has
actually made the situation about race. The perpetrators are criminals and we
need to deal with them as such, not shy away from doing the right thing by
fearing being called a racist.”
The
Rotherham gang, that I have written many articles about, as well as other
Muslim child sex grooming gangs in the UK were known to police and social
workers for years. However, for fear of being called racists, authorities took
no steps to prevent their horrific abuse of young, British children.
Note: Islam is NOT A RACE it is a Nazi type ideology.
A British politician was recently
suspended over remarks she made after the Manchester terror attack, in which a Muslim killed 22
at a pop music concert over a year ago.
Carola Godman, a member of the Conservative Party,
said in a blog last year:
“Radical so-called Islamists have for decades made it perfectly
plain that they hate the indigenous British, our culture, values, freedom and
Christian faith. They have said that they are just biding their time and
waiting for instructions from their leaders and when the word comes they will
‘systematically wipe us out.’
“Already they are raping and impregnating British girls and
young women, ‘creating’ Muslim babies; just see what is happening in Rochdale.
The rest of us they say they will exterminate with bombs and knives.”
“Let us hope that the 22 victims of the Manchester bomb have not
died in vain. Perhaps this was the wake-up call which was needed. The policing
of city centres must be revolutionised, and radical monitoring of what is going
on within the Muslim population, their mosques and schools must be addressed.
“Genuine peaceful Muslim clerics, Imams and communities must
take responsibility for their own. They cannot stand by wringing their hands
saying, ‘it’s not us.’ It damn well is and if they are not willing to ‘police’
their own extremists, then something has to be done.
“We have been too cautious, polite, even perhaps afraid to act,
while turning a blind eye and allowing vast areas of our cities to become
unrecognizable as Britain. Local planners have much to answer for by allowing
vast mosques to be established which hold thousands. Would Christians be
allowed to build vast cathedrals in Muslim countries? No, of course not.
It
is unclear why Godman’s party is bringing up the posts now. Nevertheless, the
politician was suspended while an investigation is conducted. Godman for her
part, said she has no desire to be part of an organization that does not allow
her to voice her opinion. She said her remarks were made “at a time when our
children had been massacred.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: I’m sure that I am not
the only one that has an opinion on this very important subject. We could lose
our right to speak our mind about everything in the future all in the name of
so-called hate speech. Example…while I
do not hate Muslims, I do hate the evil ideology of hate that is being passed
off as a peaceful religion.
Please let me know your
thoughts an opinions:
Thanks for listening my friend. Now go do the right
thing, pray and fight for truth and freedom.
