  society truly is under the influence of the Wicked One, the Father of the Lie

  No it isn't. Human nature is perfectly sufficient to explain everything without resorting to demons and monsters.

  the european court of human rights ruled against an austrian woman who claimed calling the prophet muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech.

  ... the woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "basic information on islam," during which she likened muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, aisha, to pedophilia.. the marriage according to islamic tradition was consummated when aisha was nine and muhammad was around 50. aisha was the daughter of muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, abu bakr.. the court cited the austrian women stating during the seminar that muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... a 56-year-old and a six-year-old?

  ... what do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?".

  i recall Britain having similar anti defamation laws, correct? Wouldnt this ruling uphold those laws? - Morph

  No. Legally you can't slander dead people.

  Jesus might have a case if he chooses to turn up at the High Court.

  Fear.

  By that I don't mean fear of Islam as much as fear of anti-Islamic violence and social breakdown.

  GcMAF - cure or major treatment for autoimmune disease, cancer, autism, etc, and being suppressed or hype?

  since most people in this group have been taught how to research and fact check with our jw history and getting out, this is a topic that can be constructive to check out.

  i stumbled upon this and spent some time researching it, and it's quite interesting.

  it's part of your immune system, gcmaf.

  Well said JeffT.

  Edited to add — I enjoyed reading your father's bio. It must be impossible to count the people who have benefited from his work. His Nobel Prize was well deserved recognition.

  (Isn't it amazing how almost any idiot can know more than a Nobel Laureate nowadays with just a few minutes browsing a conspiracy website?)

  The European Court of Human Rights ruled against an Austrian woman who claimed calling the Prophet Muhammad a pedophile was protected by free speech. ..

  The woman in 2009 held two seminars entitled "Basic Information on Islam," during which she likened Muhammad's marriage to a six-year-old girl, Aisha, to pedophilia.

  The marriage according to Islamic tradition was consummated when Aisha was nine and Muhammad was around 50. Aisha was the daughter of Muhammad's best friend and the first caliph, Abu Bakr.

  The court cited the Austrian women stating during the seminar that Muhammad "liked to do it with children" and "... A 56-year-old and a six-year-old? ... What do we call it, if it is not pedophilia?"

  An Austrian court later convicted the woman of disparaging religion and fined her €480 ($546). Other domestic courts upheld the decision before the case was brought before the ECHR.

  On today’s ruling, the ECHR said it “found in particular that the domestic courts comprehensively assessed the wider context of the applicant’s statements and carefully balanced her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected, and served the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in Austria.”
  

  This is the prejudice of low expectations. If some Muslims can't handle some inconvenient facts about their beloved beloved prophet then fuck their feelings. Every magazine and newspaper in Europe should put the facts about the pedophile prophet on their front page in protest.

  Translation - I came across this while browsing one of my favourite conspiracy theory forums and spent the next half hour watching videos. I didn't waste a moment researching any facts that might show it to be nonsense.

  Thanks for the info. It must have been a great experience to get to talk directly to the people who can make a difference.

  What do you think the consequences will be for the Watchtower's failure to engage in the process?
