Thunderf00t: Why ‘Feminism’ is poisoning atheism (Part 4)
August 16, 2013 — xanthippaFor ‘Feminism’, read ‘Cultural Marxism’.
It seems that the ‘Plus’ in ‘Atheism-Plus’ (A+) quite accurately describes that this is not a form of skepticism, but a list of dogmatic beliefs which just happen to be non-theistic…but no less destructive!
Most recently, PZ Myers (one of the pillars of A+ – and the unquestionable boss of the Orwellianly-named ‘Freethought Blogs’) had smeared the prominent skeptic thinker Michael Shermer with accusations of ‘rape’ and got himself a ‘cease-and-desist’ letter from Shermer’s lawyers.
But, that is just the latest drive-by-smearing to come from that group of Cultural Marxists who are poisoning the atheism movement. There have been many before…
Thunderf00t has been speaking out against the A+ bullies for a while. Here is his latest, which, chronologically, pre-dates this latest smear-campaign:
25 APRIL: INTERNATIONAL DAY TO DEFEND BANGLADESHI BLOGGERS
April 16, 2013 — xanthippaFrom Maryam Namazi of One Law For All:
‘The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain and others have called for 25 April to be an international day to defend Bangladesh’s bloggers and activists. Please spread the word, sign this petition today, and stand with and for Bangladeshi freethinkers.
As you may know, in January, 29 year old blogger Asif Mohiuddin was stabbed. In February, 35 year old atheist blogger involved in the Shahbag protests, Ahmed Rajib, was brutally killed. Islamists continue to threaten prominent bloggers and have called for the “execution of 84 atheist bloggers for insulting religion”. Rather than prosecute the Islamists, the government has arrested some bloggers and shut down blogs and sites.
We unequivocally condemn the attacks on and threats against atheist, secularist and freethinking bloggers and call on the Bangladeshi government to guarantee their safety, respect free expression and prosecute Islamists who threaten, attack and harm critics.
On 25 April, we urge groups and individuals to rally at Bangladeshi embassies, contact members of parliament in their countries of residence, highlight the situation, write protest letters, carry out acts of solidarity, Tweet #Bangladesh #Bloggers and more.
You can find more information here.’
In case you are not aware, Bangladeshi Islamists have been calling for including the death penalty for transgressing Bangladesh’s blasphemy laws:
Blasphemy laws are being implemented in more and more countries. Russia, for example, is preparing a blasphemy law so unreasonable (in every sense of the word) that the mere teaching of evolution and the Big Bang Theory would violate it. And don’t even get me started on the UN…
We must fight this trend of normalizing penalties for blasphemy – an integral part of free speech. Supporting the Bangladeshi bloggers is a small step in the right direction!
An atheist convention in the Middle East!
January 8, 2013 — xanthippaIn the only country in the Middle East free enough to hold one: Israel!!!
Contrast this with Egypt’s new Constitution: No God-given right to atheism in Egypt
“The constitution defines Egyptians as Muslims and Christians. This alienates anyone else who does not fit into these categories,” a 24-year-old teacher who describes himself as a “secular humanist” says.
…
While some Islamists widely attack liberals and Christians, describing them as “infidels” (some even going as far as justifying their killing), nonbelievers are not even acknowledged, let alone guaranteed rights in an Islamist Egypt.
“The Egyptian people are religious by nature, and there are no atheists,” said Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most prominent Islamic scholars, if not the most, a few days ago.
Indeed, the only place in the Middle East where one can openly say they subscribe to reason over mythology is in Israel.
