A Black Day for freedom
of speech
Two weeks ago, an Austrian appellate court upheld the conviction of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff on charges of denigrating religious beliefs (see story below).
Ms. Sabaditsch-Wolff is one of ACT! for Americas international chapter leaders.
ACT! for America has contributed to Ms. Sabaditsch-Wolffs legal defense fund and encourages concerned citizens to do the same. Log on here< /A> if you would like to make a contribution to her legal defense fund. We know Elisabeths situationshe needs a lot of help if she is to continue fighting this on appeal. She is, indeed, fighting for the rights of all of us.
This back-door imposition of sharia law will not end in Austria. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), representing all 56 Muslim countries, has won the support of top officials in our State Department in its efforts to criminalize defamation of religion. (It is a violation of sharia law to defame Islam, Allah or Mohammed.)
| In a move clearly designed to intimidate those who oppose the OICs effort, Hillary Clintons security personnel detained Andrea Lafferty, president of the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), at the closing event of a recent conference aimed at promoting this draconian effort. Lafferty was told she had been identified as a security threat to the Secretary of State. (See the TVC story here.) |
For four years we have been warning America that our freedom of speech is under assault from radical Islam and its politically correct enablers and apologists. As you can see, we dont cry wolf.

An Austrian appellate court has upheld the conviction of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, a Viennese housewife and anti-Jihad activist, for “denigrating religious beliefs” after giving a series of seminars about the dangers of radical Islam.
The December 20 ruling shows that while Judaism and Christianity can be disparaged with impunity in postmodern multicultural Austria, speaking the truth about Islam is subject to swift and hefty legal penalties.
Although the case has major implications for freedom of speech in Austria, as well as in Europe as a whole, it has received virtually no press coverage in the American mainstream media.
Sabaditsch-Wolff’s Kafkaesque legal problems began in November 2009, when she presented a three-part seminar about Islam to the Freedom Education Institute, a political academy linked to the Austrian Freedom Party.
