Toyin, I'm confused by this post. You say that "The call is not to circulate material representing uninformative denigration of Islam," but then you give several links to the (already easily available and now quite well-publicized) film 'Innocence of Muslims', which is the very definition of "uninformative denigration of Islam." How do you reconcile these two things? - Noah -- Noah Gardiner Doctoral candidate, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies University of Michigan, Ann Arbor On 9/12/2012 2:43 PM, OLUWATOYIN ADEPOJU wrote: > > > > *******CALL FOR GLOBAL MILITANT ACTION OF INFORMATION DISSEMINATION > AGAINST VIOLENT ISLAMISM EXTREMISTS * > > * DISTRIBUTE ANTI-MUHAMMED FILM > "INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS" ***** > > > Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju > > > > I hereby call for a global militant action and movement of information > dissemination directed against against violent Islamic extremism. > > Such an initiative is vital to demonstrate to Muslims that the more > they choose violence to silence criticism of their religion, the more > such criticism will be forthcoming. > > The kind of militancy I have in mind is a militancy of information > dissemination and not of physical or verbal violence. > > As many people as possible should make it their business to > disseminate as widely as possible information critically analyzing > Islam, to demonstrate that no group is above analysis and criticism. > > The call is not to circulate material representing uninformative > denigration of Islam.
