Same playbook all over the world: counterterror measures are “Islamophobic” and must be scrapped. The result of that will be more jihad terrorism. Is that what these Muslim groups want?
“Muslim lawmakers, imam ask Supreme Court to junk anti-terror law,” by Nicole-Anne C. Lagrimas, GMA News, August 4, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Muslim lawmakers, lawyers and an imam on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to nullify the anti-terrorism law, citing fears of arrests and constraints in the practice of their faith.
In at least the 22nd petition against the controversial law, Deputy Speaker Mujiv Hataman, Anak Mindanao Party-list Representative Amihilda Sangcopan, imam Sheikh Jamsiri Jainal, and five others also urged the court to issue a temporary restraining order that would prevent the government from enforcing the measure.
The petitioners said the law infringes on their right to freely exercise their religion.
Because the law punishes “inciting” to commit terrorism, they said it deters them from openly expressing and teaching their belief in the concept of “jihad,” which they said has erroneously come to be known as a “terrorist attack” due to growing Islamophobia, the 9/11 attack in the United States, and the rise of ISIS.
They also argued the law constitutes prior restraint because it compels Muslims from “freely and publicly discussing their religious beliefs.”
Hataman’s group is at least the second to object to the anti-terrorism law specifically because of fears of religious discrimination.
In an earlier petition, Muslim lawyers also cited the arrests of their fellow Muslims due to “mistaken identity” and stereotyping.
In the new petition, Hataman and his co-petitioners further argued the law is unconstitutional because it empowers the Anti-Terrorism Council to “designate” groups and individual persons as terrorists, and to issue a written authority for arrests based on suspicion.
Under the new law, suspected terrorists arrested without a warrant may be detained for up to 24 days before they have to be charged in court….
Hataman’s group also told the SC that the law’s definition of terrorism is vague.
“The fear is not unfounded,” they said, citing reports of years of wrongful detention of a number of Muslim Filipinos.
“This is more than several simple cases of mistaken identity. This is prejudice and injustice based in unfounded fear of Muslims. It is religious discrimination, plain and simple,” they said….

“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads.”. Quran 8 :12
Context: Allah telling Muslims what they should do.
Conclusion: All good Muslims are terrorists.

So “islamophobia” is “based in unfounded fear of Muslims”. Then a pack of rancid jihadis running toward you waving scimitars and yelling “allah akbar kill the kufar” is no basis for concern. Whew! I was worried there for a bit. You Musulmen have convinced Europeans of this, but I think the Philippines will be more of a challenge.
Jayell says
Don’t the figures speak for themselves? Over 90% of all terrorist attacks worldwide committed by muslims? So should every society on the planet release all psychopathic killers from their prisons/mental institutions because their detention would be equally ‘unfoujded’?

This madness will spread like a fire, until this cult will not be considered illegal and prosecuted with all the power of the law. But it will not happen soon. For this to happen, a river of misfortune still has to pour out.
Maureen Chaloner says
We are on to them believe me- soon the UK will have to ban Islam altogether because Muslims are taking over positions of power and authority. There are too many Muslim Mayors for a start. We need new laws to stop this. The next GE will see a RIGHT WING government I just pray it’s not too late…
Eva says
It will never happen. The filthy, crawling-with-corruption politicians are being paid too much from moslem countries for them to ever stop it.
They’ll ride their gravy train to the end of the line.
UVG says
True. Money for nothing chicks for free attitude prominent in political circles all over.
Michael Copeland says
Islam has its own definitions.
“Jihad in the way of Allah is not terrorism.”

Jihad is the means to a political end:
“The jihad was therefore employed as an instrument for both the universalization of religion and the establishment of an imperial world state.”

Philippines: Muslims ask that anti-terror law be dropped, say it’s “based in unfounded fear of Muslims”
…………..
And remember, this is a country that had one of its major cities taken over by ISIS a few years ago…

Quran. Words of Mohammed. Supports Paedophilia. Supports Anti Semitism. Supports Rape. Supports Slavery. Supports Domestic Violence. Supports Terrorism and War.

“freely and publicly discussing their religious beliefs.”
Often overheard at such events.
”I say we throw him off the minaret, eviscerate him, then stone him.”
”No, he must have his throat slit first, then be stoned, then be thrown from the minaret.”
”Uh Uh. He should be eviscerated, then left to the dogs, then half-buried, then stoned.”
If these whiners are really ”good” muslims then they would see to it that their very own ”bad” muslims cleaned up their act instead of forcing the rest of us to do it.
OLD GUY says
Muslims lie. If you don’t want to be called a terrorist then don’t commit terrorist acts and stop teaching the hate and violence in your mosque.
Islamophobia is a FALSE claim being promoted by muslims to shut down the truth about the violence taught by Mohammad and islam against other religions and people.
