Islamic Fear of the Free Mind

Broadcasting & Cable: The Business of Television, Fox's 24 Angers Muslim Group, by Jim Finkle, 12/29/2004

Two things Islam fears: freedom of thought and freedom of art. Both, of course are intimately related.

From the cited article:


Fox is under fire from at least one group for scenes in the Jan. 9 debut of drama 24 that portray a Muslim teen-ager and his parents as members of a terrorist cell plotting a mass attack on Americans.


One of the villains is a ... teenager who ... helps his parents mastermind a plot to kill large numbers of Americans that begins with an attack on a train.

Over the breakfast table, the father tells his son: “What we will accomplish today will change the world. We are fortunate that that our family has been chosen to do this.“Yes, father,” his son replies.


That it is the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a so-called civil rights and advocacy group, doing the belly-aching should come as no surprise. This is a propagandizing pressure group which appears to have taken its training from Jesse Jackson and Malcom X and follows the example of the entire civil rights industry in playing race and victim cards over any imagined defamation.

Why did not Fox's 24 pick on Inuits as the villains? Duh!

Islam is the world villain, and Muslims carry out its villany. All Muslims? Of course not, but it is not Sherpas and Japanese trying to destroy the world, not even Inuits. What is, is. Muslims do jihad; non-Muslims do not.

The truth makes man free, and that is what Islamia fears. Freedom means free minds in free bodies. Free people act on their own self-repsonsibility. They work to the ends they determine to be important to them. And they do not force others to their ends.

Free minds find Islam repulsive, a truly proper response. People with authentic self-esteem find Islam repulsive. Islam mastered the art, if not the science, of human mind control centuries ago--thus, its jihadi robots by the millions over the centuries. Truly selfless automatons can be ruled and serve as cannon fodder in all of the endless conflicts Islam spawns. Free men blow off Islam.

Free men want to be creative. Free men want to be productive, using their minds to whatever they choose, whether local and mundane or on the scale of Leonardo, and all stops in between.

Free artistic minds created the scripts for Fox's 24, and performing artists along with bazillions of other artisans bring it to life.

Art makes values real to people. Art translates very complex philosophical ideas and principles into easily graspable entities, and art is essential to mankind for these reasons. Art requires free minds. Observe the quality of art from collectivized states. Art properly serves the needs of the artist and the consumer. That scares the pants off Islamists.

Organizations like C.A.I.R. want to intimidate free people into not criticizing Islam, not identifying Islam for what it is. They want things to be what they are not--you know, like Islam being a peaceful religion.

Free minds and free art blow off the desires for propaganda from C.A.I.R. and others. Islam cannot exist where free minds and free art coexist. Notice what passes for Islamic art: mostly decorated tiles and some noteworthy edifices. Note what is not in Islamic art: anything depicting life, humans, and human values. Islam is not for humans; it is for totalitarian rulers.

So, to Fox and 24, stick to your guns. It's Muslim jihadists, stupid, not Inuits and Sherpas. It's way past time to scare Islam right out of existence.
