"They waste us-ay-like April snow
In the warm noon, we shrink away;
And fast they follow, as we go
Towards the setting day-
Till they shall fill the land, and we
Are driven into the Western sea." - William Cullen Bryant

STOP THE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS HATRED BILL!

The House of Commons debated the final stages of the 'Racial and Religious Hatred Bill' in June of this year. The next stage will be its discussion and preparation for it to become law which is due to take place on the 12^th October  Various Christian groups are preparing to hold a mass rally in central London on Saturday 8^th October and we urge all Nationalist Alliance members to support this demo. 

This bill is farcical, evil and dangerous. Take the Christian Voice organisation which was accused of being against freedom of speech because of their opposition to Jerry Springer the Opera, which was both blasphemous and disgusting. In fact it was freedom of artistic expression which was taken too far by the BBC and the producers of the musical.  However, if anyone wishes to see what stifling freedom of speech really looks like, they need look no further than The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill. 

WHAT THE BILL DOES
The Bill makes it a criminal offence to say anything or distribute literature which is 'likely to be heard or seen by any person in whom it is likely to stir up ... religious hatred.'  That could be anybody.  'Religious hatred' in the Bill means 'hatred against a group of persons defined by reference to religious belief or lack of religious belief,' - which must include followers of all other religions as well as sinners in general - but neither 'hatred' nor 'religious' is actually defined.  The Courts will have wide discretion to interpret such a provision in a way which would criminalise virtually every genuine Gospel preacher.  If it is passed, preachers will need to be quick off the mark to be the first to be arrested under its provisions.  Who is also seeking the distinction of becoming the first freedom of speech martyr under the Religious Hatred provisions of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill? White Nationalists!

SELF-CENSORSHIP
Our fear is that of ‘self-censorship’.  Ministers of the Gospel will be afraid to say anything against other religions for fear of a fine or prison.  This is in fact the Government’s aim.  They hope people will ‘moderate their language’ so as not to be arrested.  Note that neither the truth of what is said nor good intentions will be any defense.  If a preacher is, like Daniel Scot did in Australia, raising human rights concerns over the treatment of Christians in Muslim countries, or unpacking the Qu'ran, or denouncing Muslim extremism, he will be caught by the new law, as Scot was by the State of Victoria's 'Religious vilification' law.  Ironically, Scot suffered under Islamic persecution in his native Pakistan.

It is not just Islam which is the problem.  If a preacher is explaining the horrors of Hinduism, and the oppression that results from the practical outworkings of Hindu mythology and the caste system, a charge of 'stirring up religious hatred' would be almost inevitable.  As ‘religious belief’ in the Bill includes ‘Lack of religious belief’ then preaching against sin in general or adultery or homosexuality in particular, may also land a preacher in Court.  Thus will there be a clash between Christianity and ‘Religious Hatred’.  Christianity, our state religion preaches the Gospel.  If it is to preach the Gospel inevitably some Christians will speak against the claims of other religions and atheism as well as the fact that the Bible in the Book of Leviticus calls homosexuality ‘an abomination’.

The Bill will criminalise preaching Christianity and land Christians in jail.  It will also prevent the free expression of religious views, and the robust criticism of religion.  The frank and passionate exchanges between Christians and Muslims at Speaker's Corner could become a thing of the past.

BILL WILL DESTROY GOOD RELATIONS
At the same time, a measure whose proponents claim is necessary for good relations between followers of different religions will, when the first case is brought, set those followers at each others' throats.  Christians and Muslims in Victoria are now attending each other's meetings, jotting down the slightest indiscretion.  The Government knows all this, but it would be too Machiavellian to suggest that causing trouble is their real aim, so they can bring in more oppressive measures to satisfy the ‘need’ created by their own measure later on.

It is much more likely the need for the new law was the electoral necessity to appease the Muslim vote.  In the wake of 9/11, with Palestinian terrorism fresh in the mind, and bombings in Iraq happening almost daily, Muslims wish to silence any criticism of the way in which their faith encourages the taking of innocent infidel life.  In an article for 'Muslim Weekly' in March 2005, Minister for Energy Mike O'Brien MP listed a string of examples of how much Labour was doing for Muslims, mentioning the religious hatred legislation in particular.   For Muslims, despite its illegal war in Iraq, Labour was "the best friend they have ever had in government".  The general election was "about considering what a Labour Government rather than a Conservative Government has done and will do in the future for Muslims." 

NEW LABOUR – FRIEND OF ISLAM
Tony Blair, according to Mike O'Brien, remains the one leader who can influence George W Bush to persuade Israel to concede West Bank and Gaza Strip land for peace and establish a Palestinian state.  Mike O'Brien even reminded Muslims how, when at the Foreign Office, he shot off to reassure Yasser Arafat that Britain was still with him when Israel and the Americans refused to negotiate with the old terrorist.  Tony Blair reads the Koran and quotes from it, gushed the North Warwicks MP.  Labour had the first Muslim peers and MP's and now has more Muslim local councilors than any other party.  "We are proud of this achievement," O'Brien went on, "but we have not yet finished."  Thanks for the warning!

Then, during the General Election, Home Secretary Charles Clarke MP wrote to every mosque in the country, blaming the fall of the original Bill (which was then Clause 124 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill) on the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.

WILL PEERS SAY ‘NO’ AGAIN?
Political expediency has driven Labour's enthusiasm for the new Clause, and that must help the White Nationalist cause in the House of Lords.  Labour has created over 1,000 new offences since they came to power.  This one is just a sop to the Muslims and will create more problems than it solves.  Every time Labour tries to introduce such a measure, in the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Bill and just before the election in May 2005, peers are not impressed, and throw it out. Peers can recognise an attempt at political expediency, and a Bill which is unnecessary, illiberal and oppressive.

Both the Conservatives and the LibDems oppose the Clause, for which we must thank what remains of common sense in Westminster.  But will their peers oppose a New Labour manifesto commitment in the House of Lords?  The arithmetic is worse now as well.  Labour have now as many peers as the Tories, and Tony’s cronies are still queuing up for their coronets, past favours or cash donations in their hands. Oppose this new law in every way you can. The NA will be producing a special leaflet about it and other material as well as featuring it on our website and publications. (www.nationalistalliance.org)
