As the war on terrorism continues to move beyond Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States and other countries remain on alert for more acts of terror. The Bush Administration, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Senate, and Department of Justice have all played a role in the current bedate about how to best protect citizens from terrorists while also protecting civil liberties and democratic freedoms. Here you can discuss politics and news associated with the "war on terror".

Google/Blogger refuses to ban Racist Blog
From its title the blog, Les Cochons Hallal, is clearly meant as a calculated insult against Muslims. If it had been called Kosher Pigs there would have been a tremendous outcry from the international Jewish community and Blogger would have been forced to close it down without further ado.
But Google/Blogger's attitude appears to be totally cynical and tailored simply to market forces. knowing that the Muslim community is incapable of organizing the kind of opposition that Jewry can it continues to allow this blog the freedom to spread its despicable poison across the Planet.
Such blogs are in four-square contravention of Blogger's own Contents Policy:
Les Cochons describes itself as "satirical" and "irreverent". What is amusing about insulting another's faith or beliefs in this way? Far from being either of the things it claims this blog is very much an incitement of racial hatred.
Apart from its overtly racist nature such a blog is likely to contravene the European Convention on Human Rights. But that doesn't seem to worry Blogger who, though the blog flies in the face of its own terms, allows it to continue along with just a health warning.
By doing so, Blogger perpetuates the cynicism of capitalist business organisations which will quite happily endorse fascist movements if they think there's some profit in doing so. Probably the worst example of this were the capitalists who backed Adolf Hitler. Perhaps, being a North American outfit, Blogger remains ignorant of that historic antecedent.
I have already heard some who call themselves Socialists tell me that no matter how revolting such blogs are and despite the fact that they break the host's rule that they should be allowed the freedom to spew their poison. I fundamentally disagree.
These blogs are like a virus and should be treated as such. When Socialists and libertarians support their existence on the spurious dogma of a free-for-all then they must expect what will inevitably follow. Fascists and racists are not so much birds of prey but scavengers who take advantage of the freedoms a liberal society might allow them. If they are protected by law they take that as a sign that they are free to do as they will.
And that usually means picking on minority groups like western Muslims from which they are guaranteed to make political capital. This is the situation that prevails in countries like Britain, France, Holland, Canada, Australia and the USA where fascists are allowed so much freedom that even apparently more respectable mainstream politicians now play the race card.
Neither fascism or racism should be tolerated. And by allowing scum the freedom to publish, both Blogger and Google put themselves among the lowest and most vile company of the human species.

As Voltaire wrote: "Écrasons l'infâme!"
That includes all religions, opium of the people, which includes islam.
This talk of racism/fascism is nothing the ranting of a new convert to islam, intoxicated by his new fix. The newer, the more rabid they are.
Mélanger Voltaire et la liberté est toujours réjouissant.
L'infâme, ce n'est pas la religion catholique, mais bien ce petit bonhomme aigri.
Et l'Islam, ce mn'est pas une religion, amis un système politique complet. Système abrutissant, oppresseur, sanguinaire, sexiste, et pour abréger inhumain.
It 's really a shame to forbid this blog. It's a tipically a fashist method, a nazi method, an isslamik method. Freedom of speech on the web !
No place for Islamia in European Free World.
Mohammed is a "fils de pute" and a pedofil
FREEDOM IN THE WEB!
"knowing that the Muslim community is incapable of organizing the kind of opposition that Jewry can it continues to allow this blog the freedom to spread its despicable poison across the Planet."
And what do you think about the hundreds internet site about islamofascist inclued propagand for jihad, texts of koran about extermination of jews and christian??!!
You suck pigs!
I would not forbid much of any website I would just let people snarl at it and point at it as a sad bad joke. Actually Jewish folks especially when teenagers have pulled "Kosher Pig" jokes. Including a friend of mine who decided to as a joke manage to switch a deli order around so hame sandwiches were deliverd to a bar mitzvah. The parties involved saw it is as a kind of silly sad joke the type that tenagers pull.
Also I remembe that at one point there was somewhere what seemed to me a serious discussion about some pig like critter that was found that might have had the appropriate hooves/feet and like so as to be perhaps be kosher/hillel . It is interesting that since the Abrhamic religions sprang from some of the same roots they have similair cultural prescription/proscriptions.
Having read the Bible/Torah/Koran/Qu'ran and a number of commentaries I still haven't figured how the Islamic fear of the enticing aspects of female sexuality orginated although if one goes to seriously intense evalengelic communities they have some of the same features and the method of meeting one's mate through intermediaries.
Oh one more addition...There is an interesting discusssions as to whether opium is hillel in Islam. Even Sayid Qutb who if anyone was rattled by female sexual attrctiveness it was he, and is regarded as "Qsama Bin Laden's mind/brain/mentor" was not a supporter of mindlesss agression and stated at one point that "God/Allah does not love aggressors"...
