Public Law for Everyone
In my last post on the proposed repeal of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the enactment of a British Bill of Rights, I considered the extent to which the House of Lords might thwart the Government’s plans. My conclusion was that the Lords might plausibly assert itself so as to delay the legislation, traditional understandings of the Salisbury Convention notwithstanding, but that the Parliament Act 1911 clearly deprives the Lords of any absolute veto. What, however, of the devolved nations? Could they block the implementation of the UK Government’s proposals?

Again today freedom of speech, the right to free expression received a violent response from the Muslim community in Texas, USA.

Earlier this week six writers – Peter Carey, Michael Ondaatje, Francine Prose, Teju Cole, Rachel Kushner and Taiye Selasi – withdrew from the PEN American Center’s annual gala on 5 May in protest against the free speech organization’s decision to give the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo its annual Freedom of Expression Courage Award. In an email to PEN, Kushner said she was withdrawing because of Charlie Hebdo‘s ‘cultural intolerance’ and its promotion of ‘a kind of forced secular view’. Carey criticised ‘PEN’s seeming blindness to the cultural arrogance of the French nation, which does not recognize its moral obligation to a large and disempowered segment of their population’.
In my original post on the Charlie Hebdo killings back in January, I challenged ‘the pusillanimity of many so-called liberals, their unwillingness to stand up for basic liberal principles, their readiness to betray the progressives within minority communities’ and observed that…

Made up of a special group of hacktivists sponsored by Anonymous, Ghost Security – or GhostSec – is now attacking websites and destroying networks used by pro-terrorist groups affiliated and sympathetic to ISIS. According to
one of their tweets, GhostSec has attacked 233 websites – destroying 85 in the process – and “terminated” 25,000 Twitter accounts used by ISIS supporters.
Martha van der Pol says:
“Through its security division Ghost Security, Anonymous is now on a global mission to help “cure the ISIS virus.”
“Contributing to this effort is critical if you want to rid the world of the evil cult of Isis. Currently the Anonymous fraternity receive no funding for the work they do – the countless hours of hacking for the good of the world, the costs they incur can run to $300 each per month. It is high time we all shared in this – since our governments are failing miserably to end the horrific butchery of humanity which Isis and its supporters are dishing out day after day around the world”.

About Examine Islam:
Martha van der Pol founded the Examine Islam campaign following the Islamic terrorist attack on Parisian cartoonists Charlie Hebdo, and a Jewish Kosher supermarket in January 2015. The attacks marked a renewed commitment to harming Western democracy, freedom and security. Examine Islam’s mission is to tackle the failure on the part of Western leaders to properly acknowledge the deep running problem within Islam, and hence their failure to deal with it. This is putting innocent people in danger – from the vicious and senseless murder of Drummer Lee Rigby on London’s streets to the systematic grooming of English girls by Muslim rape gangs, we have been witnessing the failure of too many in the Islamic communities of the West to adapt the violent teachings of Islam’s foundational texts to a peaceful existence in the West. Isis and their followers and fellow travellers in the West are merely following the edicts of Muhammad in the Koran and Hadiths, such as:
“…The penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger …. is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.” [Quran 5: 33]
