Thought control and thought police are hallmarks of totalitarian regimes, and we’re getting perilously close to living under that boot on the face in the West. The Chinese authorities, like all totalitarians, are going to discover that they cannot entirely suppress thoughts through force.<br /><br />That said</i>, this is one of the first, if not the very first, official recognition by any modern government that the Qur’an does indeed contain “extremist content”: a great deal of material that incites believers to commit violence against non-believers. The Chinese should be countering this mother-lode of bad ideas with better ideas, rather than trying to stamp it out by force; at the same time, if Western governments would admit the existence of the Qur’an’s “extremist content,” they may be able to formulate more effective and humane ways to counter the threat that results from that content. But that will most likely only happen when it is far, far too late.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Chinese Police Order Xinjiang’s Muslims to Hand in All Copies of The Quran,” Radio Free Asia, September 27, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):<br /><br />Chinese authorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang have ordered ethnic minority Muslim families to hand in religious items including prayer mats and copies of the Quran to the authorities, RFA has learned.<br /><br />Officials across Xinjiang have been warning neighborhoods and mosques that ethnic minority Uyghur, Kazakh and Kyrgyz Muslims must hand in the items or face harsh punishment if they are found later, sources in the region said.<br /><br />“Officials at village, township and county level are confiscating all Qurans and the special mats used for namaaz [prayer],” a Kazakh source in Altay prefecture, near the border with Kazakhstan told RFA on Wednesday.<br /><br />“Pretty much every household has a Quran, and prayer mats,” he said.<br /><br />Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the exile World Uyghur Congress group, said reports have emerged from Kashgar, Hotan and other regions of similar practices starting last week.<br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-3725223441946752002017-09-29T23:38:00.846-04:002017-09-29T23:38:00.846-04:00.

If you walk....<br /><br /><b>The End of the World as We Know It</b><br /><br /><i>If you walk along the National Mall this November, you'll see the Smithsonian Museums, the Washington Monument, Capitol Hill, and, possibly, something else: a 45-foot tall nude sculpture of a woman.<br /><br />The Amazonian figure would tower over the National Mall next to the Washington Monument, directly facing the White House until March 28 to promote women's equality.<br /> <br />Organizers are trying to raise funds to transport the R-Evolution sculpture from San Francisco to Washington. They've gotten approval from the National Park Service to have the structure on the grounds of the National Mall.<br /><br />Event organizers have raised more than $21,000 in four days to transport the sculpture across the country and assemble it, although they still have a long way to go to meet their 30-day fundraising goal of $90,000.<br /><br />The organizers have also put out a nationwide call for volunteers. After the event ends, the sculpture can remain on the Mall for four months, if it is guarded by volunteers at all times.<br /><br />The sculpture was created by artist Marco Cochrane as part of The Bliss Project. He said the sculpture was meant to combat a culture that increasingly dehumanizes women and sexualizes the female form...</i><br /><br />So to combat the sexualization (and one might say the exploitation) of women the artist is going to construct a giant statue of a nude women on the National Mall. Makes sense to me.<br /><br />http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/heres-why-a-45-foot-tall-nude-sculpture-may-be-coming-to-the-national-mall/ar-AAsDFwV?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-73582095890923516042017-09-29T23:34:39.075-04:002017-09-29T23:34:39.075-04:00That was a noble comment and should not have been ...That was a noble comment and should not have been taken down.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63530931653486901132017-09-29T23:27:38.327-04:002017-09-29T23:27:38.327-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-61061310575602193982017-09-29T22:40:57.577-04:002017-09-29T22:40:57.577-04:00Librarian Who Rejected Melania Trump’s ‘Racist’ Dr...<b>Librarian Who Rejected Melania Trump’s ‘Racist’ Dr. Seuss Books Celebrated Seuss’s Birthday In Costume</b><br /><br />http://thefederalist.com/2017/09/29/librarian-rejected-melania-trumps-racist-dr-seuss-books-celebrated-seusss-birthday-costume/Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-87450951231753042632017-09-29T22:14:01.277-04:002017-09-29T22:14:01.277-04:00Dr. Seuss is a racist.Dr. Seuss is a racist.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77324774819336284932017-09-29T22:08:05.822-04:002017-09-29T22:08:05.822-04:00Never mistake meta-cognition for consciousness:
