Defaming Mohammed exceeds the limits of free speech, “goes beyond the permissible limits of an objective debate” and “could stir up prejudice and put at risk religious peace,” the European Court of Human Rights ruled on Thursday. The ruling came after the seven-judge panel upheld an Austrian court’s decision to convict a woman for calling Mohammed a paedophile. The 47-year-old woman from Vienna, known only as Mrs S, reportedly held two seminars titled, “Basic Information on Islam,” in which she detailed the marriage between Mohammad and his six-year-old wife, Aisha. According to reports, Mrs S told her class that Mohammad…

BBC News has asked if the word “woman” should be spelt “womxn” after the Wellcome Collection, a museum and library in London, used the term in a tweet to promote an upcoming event. According to the British public service broadcaster, “womxn refers to females, but it is an attempt to get away from patriarchal language.” The story went on to cite Dr Clara Bradbury-Rance, fellow at King’s College London, who said the spelling womxn “stems from a longstanding objection to the word woman as it comes from man, and the linguistic roots of the word mean that it really does…

An Australian feminist research group is urging people to drop the phrase “pregnant women” because “people of all genders can become pregnant.” In a post on Facebook, The Equality Institute said the phrase “pregnant people” should be used in place of the gender specific “pregnant women,” which is neither considerate nor inclusive of “trans and non-binary folk.” “People of all genders can become pregnant, because people of all genders can have the reproductive organs to do so,” the group said in the post. “Consider all people when using language – inclusive trans and non-binary folk – and ensure that your…

Facebook have unpublished Senator Fraser Anning’s official page claiming “recent activity doesn’t follow the Facebook Pages Terms.” The move comes after the Senator shared a video suggesting a ban on Muslim immigration would help to ensure the peace and safety of Australians. “Facebook has just taken the unprecedented step in unpublishing a Commonwealth Politician’s page,” Senator Anning said on Twitter. “Free speech is under attack, and communication is being regulated by foreign companies with tendencies of political bias.” “This is completely unacceptable and we will fight this,” the Senator added.

Popular Hunter Valley based bridal magazine White has come under fire for refusing to feature same-sex couples in their privately own publication. Photographer Lara Hotz said she asked the magazine multiple times if they would feature non-heterosexual couples.

An ethnic-Chinese woman has been sentence to 18 months in prison for blasphemy after complaining about the noise of a nearby mosque. The 44-year-old Buddhist woman named Meiliana said the Muslim call to prayer, played five times a day near her house in North Sumatra, was “too loud” and “hurt” her ears. After prosecutors argued that Meiliana was guilty of blaspheming Islam, presiding Judge Wahyu Prasetyo Wibowo said, “We declare that the defendant is legally and compellingly proven guilty of committing blasphemy against a certain religion that is professed in Indonesia.” The judge then sentenced Meiliana to one and a…

Australia’s first Muslim Senator, Mehreen Faruqi has used her maiden speech to warn against the normalisation of racism in Australia. According to Ms Faruqi, migrants no longer feel welcome in Australia because “bigotry and xenophobia have been allowed to flourish.” Ms Faruqi admitted that racism, sexism and discrimination have always existed, but claims these things are now legitimised, normalised and even encouraged by our media and politicians. An example Ms Faruqi appealed to was Senator Fraser Anning’s maiden speech in which he described the Muslim culture as being the least capable of assimilation. And of course, according to Ms Faruqi,…

The Great Censorship Purge has begun. Facebook has permanently banned InfoWars for the broad and ambiguous crime of ‘hate speech.’ Apple also reportedly wiped iTunes and its podcasting app clean of content by Alex Jones, following similar moves by Youtube and Spotify. “It’s a coordinated purge,” Paul Joseph Watson said. “This is a total abuse of power.” “Whether you love or loathe Infowars, this now confirms that Big Tech is working with legacy media to silence independent media. In places like Russia, the government shuts down the press, in America, CNN, Apple and Facebook fulfill that role.” Watson revealed Facebook…

Our Facebook Overlords are scraping the bottom of the barrel to silence conservative voices and this is yet another absolutely ridiculous example. Yesterday Victoria Against Violence posted a video to their Facebook page titled, Respect Women: Call It Out (Public Transport). The video shows a fairly well-groomed man looking over at a woman and smiling while travelling on a bus. When another commuter notices, he stands between the man and the woman, breaking the line of sight. The man looks away as the words, “Respect Women; Call it Out” appear on the screen. After being tagged in the post by a…

Tommy Robinson has been moved to a Muslim majority prison, according to those close to him. Author Raheem Kassam said on Twitter, “Tommy’s human rights are being violated as he was moved to a new UK prison last night, without warning or reason. He is now in a very heavily Muslim populated prison in the Midlands in England.” Kassam later added, “I am told the decision to move Tommy Robinson from a relatively safe prison to a highly unsafe one came from the UK Home Office — which means people need to be asking questions of Sajid Javid, Britain’s new…
