United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed his fear that the posting to the Internet of Dutch politician Geert Wilders’ “Fitna”—a film linking Islamist violence with passages from the Koran—would “incite retribution.”

Ban said that “while freedom of speech sounds good in theory, its advocates are overlooking the risks. The Koran bids Muslims to spare unbelievers who submit and pay the jizya. But does Wilders acknowledge this option for peaceful coexistence with Islam? No. He one-sidedly focuses on the consequences to those who stubbornly reject this offer.”

“We must recognize that the real fault lies not with the Muslims, but with those who would place their values ahead of those of other cultures,” Ban continued. “The West’s failure to yield the right-of-way is responsible for the collision with Islam. The sooner we learn to comply, the safer we will all be.”

Following the release of his film, several Islamic web sites have posted Wilders’ picture in hopes that “someone may carry out Allah’s command against this infidel.” There have also been the usual street demonstrations in Muslim countries where mobs demand that Wilders be “butchered.”

“Peaceful coexistence with Islam”?? What is Ban thinking??

“Islamic governments have never and will never be established through peaceful solutions and and cooperative councils. They are established as they [always] have been. By pen and gun, by word and bullet, by tongue and teeth. ...These young men realized that an Islamic government would never be established except by the bomb and rifle. Islam does not coincide or make a truce with unbelief, but rather confronts it. The confrontation that Islam calls for...does not know Socratic debates, Platonic ideals, nor Aristotelian diplomacy. But it knows the dialog of bullets, the ideals of assassination, bombing, and destruction, and the diplomacy of the cannon and machine gun.” —From the al-Qaida terrorist manual (http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/manualpart1_1.pdf)

Ban is equating infidels paying a tax to survive as “coexisting peacefully.” If Muslims wanted to coexist peacefully with us they would respect our religion and let us live without paying them a tax. And what is “the sooner we comply, the better” supposed to mean? That we all submit to Shari’ah law??

I would ask how this moron got to be Secretary General of the UN, but the UN part answers the question.

Oh wait...AZ Conservative is satire, isn’t it.

Sigh...when you can’t tell the difference between satire and reality, that’s a problem. Sorry about that....

But it's not the murderous and brutal ways of Islam that he's concerned about, it's the internet that he want's to censor and control.
