Free Downloads Islam And Free Speech (Encounter Broadside)
In January 2015, Muslim terrorists massacred cartoonists and writers at the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, proclaiming to be avenging Islam’s prophet. The rampage, which included the murders of hostages at a kosher market, prompted global leaders and throngs of citizens to rally in support of free expression. But was the support genuine?In this Broadside, Andrew C. McCarthy explains how leading Islamists have sought to supplant free expression with the blasphemy standards of Islamic law, gaining the support of the U.S. and other Western governments. But free speech is the lifeblood of a functioning democratic society, essential to our capacity to understand, protect ourselves from, and ultimately defeat our enemies.

In general, anything Andrew McCarthy writes or says is worth attention. In this small "broadside" he shows the incompatibility of Islam and free speech as we understand it. It's beautifully written and can be read in one sitting - as I did - and then be returned to for reference. We cannot hope to understand what we are confronting unless we have some clarity about it, clarity that is all too often missing in public "conversations." This is a necessary addition to the relatively small body of work that outlines concepts that are fundamentally alien to Western thought. Well done, Mr. McCarthy.
This is a must read for anyone who is paying attention to what is going on! McCarthy lays out clearly and succinctly the Islamist plan to squelch free speech and the West's continuous acquiescence.
Talks about the fallacy of Islam being a peaceful religion. There are some peaceful Muslims however that does not take into account those declare Jihad on the non-believers., We are in deep trouble with Islam.
As islam seeks to carve out more and more exceptions to law for itself, the west needs to craft a response. Live here, assimilate, adopt western values. The West must not submit. Islam does not reciprocate the west's values of tolerance, free speech, and secularism.Great put, ably written, quick to read. More like this, please.
Excellent presentation of the religious, ideological and political reasons why Sharia and Western liberties cannot coexist. Everyone should read this 'broadside' by Andrew McCarthy. His credentials, research and multitude of events should convince anyone except the extremely closed minded. (Stephanie Powers refers to that mind set as "illiberals" in "The Silencing" which has a chapter affirming McCarthy's book.)
This is a small pamphlet that can be read in a day or less. It talks about the importance of freedom of speech in the face of Islamic threats and acts of violence against free speech. And also talks about how countries try to be nice to Islam and their need to not be criticized. I follow the news so I know pretty much all of this already and there was not much of anything new I learned.
Vital warnings about using free speech or we will lose it. Important descriptions of plans to threaten fundamental speech rights.
Very succinct, very accurate. If you have any doubts about Islam, read this.
