Why were articles re Muslim Defence League antisemitism & homophobia hidden?
anon | 05.11.2010 12:28 | Anti-racism | Indymedia | Repression | South Coast | World
The Muslim Defence League are an antisemitic, racist and homophobic group. They have stated that "homosexuality is a sin" and made comments such as "May Allah curse the Jews", "Jews bark like dogs", "Jews should die" etc. They claimed that "EDL are donkeys for the Jews." The MDL are offensive to Jews and gay people. Why were articles about the MDL hidden by Indymedia?
Will Indymedia moderators explain why articles about MDL and their antisemitic / homophobic stance been removed? In hiding and removing articles about MDL antisemitism and homophobia Indy is siding with antisemitism and homophobia. The EDL comment is particulalry offensive to Jewish people who want nothing to do with EDL. Indy should not be supporting the vile, racist, antisemitic and homophobic Muslim Defence League.

Any site that could boast about that vile fascist leader of Iran visiting lebanon and then condemn me as a stooge of the CIA for my criticisms, is morally bankrupt.

If we create the EDL and MDL and have them fight one another then the majority white population are more likely to resent Muslims. We can fake up some terror incidents. If we discover that our bomb carrying cargo plane to US could not have existed because there were none from Yemen, then we can change our story. We can introduce some useless restrictions in airports. OK, some commentators in the Daily Mail won't be fooled, but enough of the masses will be fooled. They'll dislike Muslims more.
Bit what about the Left. They are inclined not to be nasty to 'oppressed black people'. That's where the MDL come in. We can bribe or blackmail Muslims into pretending they are the MDL. Get them to be offensive towards Jews, Gays and women. And that will upset the Left. We can even fool some Gay people on the Left and they may post messages on Indymedia, which our mate George Soros controls.
OK. There are political and military elites who wont go along with a war. But we can push it anyway. And the bank's your uncle, we can hit Iran. And if they hit back and wipe put hundreds of Brits and Americans. So, what. There are too many of them anyway.
We know that the idea that Pakistan and British Pakistanis are a hot bed of radical Islam is nonsense. Afterall, a World Public Opinion poll conducted in February 2007 found that 2% of respondents in Pakistan believe Al Qaeda were responsible. 27% said the U.S. government were responsible, 7% said Israel and 1% named another country. 63% said they did not know ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks_opinion_polls). It is hardly likely that British Pakistanis interested in extremism will not find out that most Pakistanis don't believe Al Qaida did 911. These people are unlikely to become wild extremists. But don't worry, the public don't know that, so we can keep this myth going.

all moderation is discussed on mailing lists
05.11.2010 15:10
If you want to argue the toss about a particular moderation decision, the place to discuss it is on those mailing lists:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-moderation/
...not on the newswire!
Every time someone hides an article they are required to post an email to that list explaining why, so if you go through the archive you will also find out what reason was given.

You say: "We need a war to distract and demoralise people" - what the hell for, you fucking idiot? Who is "we'? Lefty nutjobs like you used to say that capitalism needed a happy and compliant working class in order to keep consuming now you're saying the working class needs a war to keep us unhappy and non-compliant! Or is it that we need a war to keep us unhappy and compliant??
Fuck knows! And I don't care.
Keep your idiot eyes on the ball you fool. We have real discrimination from muslims against gays and a very dangerous ideology, ie islam, which fucks with its believer's minds. Not just against gays, but against free speech, against novelists, against cartoonists, against film-makers, against academics who analyse the koran and against ex muslims
Jeeezus! The EDL was a consequence of repeated provocations from the muslim equivalent of nutjobs like you who barracked the funerals of british soldiers if your tiny mind can remember. (Which is not to indicate that i support the EDL, far from it)
only a few years ago I was walking down Regent street in central london and a group of several hundred muslim nazis marched down holding placards saying: "Death to gays", "death to the West" and chanting their silly nonsense- all protected by the police.
You can spill out your silly nonsense about us all being victims of CIA black ops in order to soften us up so we are mentally prepared for the US to attack Iran- saying that Amnesty International is a wing of CIA/israeli propaganda and that its catalogue listing Iranian human rights abuses is all a lie, but really I don't believe that. I accept that the Iranian regime, and indeed most muslim regimes, are vile and have appalling records on human rights- the evidence is too overwhelming, over too many years, for it not to be true.
You say: "We know that the idea that Pakistan and British Pakistanis are a hot bed of radical Islam is nonsense."- No we don't !!! That is just more of your stupid fucking nonsense. What we do know is that the 7/7 bombers were british muslims. We know that the bastards who attempted to bomb the nightclub in London, and who tried to bomb glasgow airport, were muslims from Iraq (unless you're saying these nutters were not muslim?? and were a CIA plant as well!) We know that the Pakistani secret service is playing off Nato against the Indians and the Iranians, and is playing off its own people against one another for god knows what purpose. And we know the british pakistanis are collecting a lot of money, and fighters to go off to fight Nato in Afghanistan. We know that the pakistani secret service is funding, training and supplying arms to the taliban and allowing the taliban to launch hit and run missions into Afghanistan from Pakistan.
All this we know. So it is simply untrue to say that British pakistanis are not a hotbed of radical islam. We know that they are.
All religions fuck the minds of believers, I mean believing in a totalitarian sky pixie who knows what you're doing all the time and which demands total obedience from, is a doorway into having your mind fucked. But at least most religions in the West have been deganged, but islam hasn't.
Wake up you fucking idiot.

So Indymedia, part of the morally bankrupt left censors views it doesn't like!!

In other words "We here at Indymedia will allow homophobic religious nutjobs to be homophobic but any criticism of those religious nutjobs will be construed as racism and will, therefore, be removed"
Typical morally bankrupt and ethically empty modern lefties
No change there then
