Dhimmitude is no defense: Hamas UK sues dhimmi blog

Here's another lawfare attack by a muslim against a blogger. Lawfare against non-muslim bloggers and writers is becoming a major avenue of attack.

FROM DHIMMIWATCH:

Dhimmitude is no defense: Hamas UK sues dhimmi blog

At the UK blog Harry's Place, it is slowly dawning upon them that not just "Robert Spencer and his ilk" are responsible for people getting the idea that the Islamic concept of jihad may have something to do with terrorism. Somehow it seems to have escaped their notice -- up until that item was posted in May 2008 -- that Muslims are not committing acts of terror around the world and explaining and justifying them by reference to Islamic jihad theology. They still, however, think that "jihad is what you make of it," as if words have no meaning and Islamic theology has no content -- as if you could easily read The Brothers Karamazov as a cookbook or Mein Kampf as an adventure novel, or of course the Qur'an and Sunnah and rulings of all the madhahib as not counseling warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers. And they approvingly quote the mendacious Sheila Musaji as an authority for all this. Now they have been appropriately rewarded for their cluelessness and dhimmitude: Harry's Place is being sued by a jihadist.
Details here.

Even clueless dhimmis have the right to free speech, and if it is curtailed for them, it is curtailed for everyone. Thus Harry's Place deserves the support of all free people.
