But if you are a white straight boy, than watch out.

IS THIS A "HATE CRIME" IN BRITAIN?

From the article

"I urged people to go on the march and I urged that the rural minority be given the same legal protection as other minorities. All I said was that the rural minority should have the same rights as blacks, Muslims and gays." . . .

Gloucestershire police confirmed that they had arrested Mr Page on suspicion of violating Section 18 (1) of the Public Order Act, referring to stirring up racial hatred.


Hmm. This kind of thing is why I don't approve of "hate speech" laws.This white guy is sitting in jail! For what? For talking about hunting animals. Yet the following guys are talking of KILLING people in England and around the world and are free!

The mysterious Johnathan Galt has obtained rare Al Qaeda training videos from the Finsbury Park mosque in London, including one that I believe shows James Ujamaa, the Seattle man currently under arrest for terrorist connections, saying Osama bin Laden was framed. There is a lot of really creepy stuff here; with talk of killing and robbing kuffars, recruiting for jihad, etc. BTW, The leader of the Finsbury Mosque has issued death threats to the British in case of war. That speech is allowed and he is FREE. He remains free despite an outstanding arrest warrants from the Us and Yemen.

And speaking of Al Qaeda training videos, new videos have been discovered in Afghanistan that show terrorists practicing an assault on a hotel.

One of the videos seen by The Sunday Telegraph shows heavily armed masked fighters scaling down from the roof of a large building on ropes and jumping through windows clutching grenades. Al-Qaida members playing the role of hostages scream -- like they are meant to represent women and children -- as they are herded together and hit with the butts of rifles while shots are fired into the air.

The cameraman can be heard laughing.

The "hostages" give their commands in English, shouting "Move!" "Stop!" "Go!", while the people playing the role of hostages scream, also in English, "Oh God!" and "Don't hurt me!"

Later, the hostages are moved onto the roof and executed. The hostage takers then pretend to throw their bodies to the ground.

"Anyone with a military background can see this is not just a general training exercise, but clearly planning for an actual operation with a specific location in mind," one military analyst said. "They know exactly what they are aiming for."

Harvard Does the Wrong Thing

Jew-hating Irish poet Tom Paulin has been reinvited to speak at Harvard University.

Harvard University English professors have reinvited a controversial Irish poet to speak on campus, one week after his appearance was canceled because of his strong anti-Israeli comments.

Professors met for two hours Wednesday and voted to reinvite Tom Paulin, who has made statements comparing US-born settlers in the West Bank with Nazis, and saying they "should be shot dead."

"Free speech was a principle that needed upholding here," English professor Peter Sacks said Wednesday night. "This was a clear reaffirmation that the department stood strongly by the First Amendment."


What in the world does the First Amendment have to do with this? Harvard University has no obligation to provide anti-Semites with a venue to promote their ideas. You might think Harvard professors would have a better understanding of the First Amendment than this. But you’d be wrong.

Here are the faculty profiles of Harvard’s English Department, if you’d like to see the people who think Harvard University should provide a bully pulpit for a creature who says things like this:

In April, Paulin, quoted in the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram Weekly, said of American Jewish settlers: "I think they are Nazis, racists; I feel nothing but hatred for them."

In the same interview, Paulin said he understands "how suicide bombers feel," but suggested guerrilla warfare would be more effective because attacks on civilians could create a sense a solidarity.

In his poem "Killed in the Crossfire," he writes of "another little Palestinian boy in trainers jeans and a white teeshirt" killed by the "Zionist SS."


And GET THIS!

And meanwhile, exhibiting a hypocritical double standard so blatant it would induce cognitive dissonance in a Buddhist monk, Harvard Law School is considering a ban on offensive speech.
