Groupthinker Ghahraman

In an article which one of my readers recently drew to my attention, Green MP Golriz Ghahraman wrote an essay titled Freedom of Speech and Its Limits where she makes the case for why more hate speech laws should be introduced in New Zealand.

Because Ms. Ghahraman lays out the common arguments in favour of this cause as clearly as her abilities allow, it’s worth a read to see the one-track groove of thought those who advance this cause are stuck in. The obsession with minority groups is paramount: gender, sexual, ethnic, racial and religious (except for Christian). They view society through groupthink lenses to pass themselves off as the bold “defenders of minorities” in the eyes of other groupthinkers, which reminds me of a notable quote by philosopher/novelist Ayn Rand:

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”

Groupthinker Ghahraman uses the Christchurch massacre as the central example of just how damaging the individual right of free speech can be in her mind.
 
This one-year-old New Zealand tragedy which, even as it took place in real time, many predicted instantly the degree to which it would be milked in the most opportunistic manner by our current government. 

Ghahraman did not disappoint on this score anymore than did Prime Minister Ardern. From the act of one single tragedy, long standing gun laws were swiftly turned on their head, free speech was put on notice by the Justice Minister and police have made a disturbing habit out of visiting the homes of social media users who express views which they find to be a bit objectionable (conservative). Legal gun owners with objectionable views were raided by armed police.  And those are just the things we know about.

In her 2,600 word essay about the limits of free-speech in NZ, it took Ghahraman only three paragraphs to get to the Christchurch terrorism incident:

“Since the Christchurch terrorist attacks, many New Zealanders have started to wonder what sort of country they truly live in and to ask themselves some difficult questions. Are we, in fact, a country filled with equality, fairness and unity, or is there a problem with hate, violence and racism that needs work? Part of the challenge in coming to terms with the attacks will be to acknowledge that hate speech can lead to extremism and violence – that how we speak can have impacts in real life. This will in turn require us to define the right to freedom of speech and where its protections and limitations lie in a truly free and equal society.”

But groupthinker Ghahraman was wrong about New Zealanders.  The massacre did not make them start to wonder what sort of country they truly lived in, since the terrorist was an interloper from Australia. What they did wonder was just how a troubled young non-NZ citizen such as Tarrant got to spend an hour in the company of police for his gun license interview without giving off a single clue or cause for suspicion of what he was in fact; a cold-blooded killer with a malicious plot fomenting in his mind.
 
This momentary police inattentiveness explains why they are now cracking down so hard on gun owners and social media users with anti-Islam views, not because these citizens are any kind of imminent threat to other New Zealanders, but because this time the police royally screwed up – and maybe Tarrant was uncommonly gifted in the art of stealthy deceit. 

Ghahraman writes:  

“It is increasingly clear, following the Christchurch mosque attacks, that unregulated online platforms are hosting dangerous white supremacist content. Online hate is causing real world violence and our laws don’t have the tools to respond effectively.”

Through the paragraphs of her essay, one can almost feel the gleeful frisson which Ghahraman must’ve felt as news came through on March 15th 2019 that the terrorist was a white male with a gun club membership, plus an online manifesto.

She then goes further down this conspiratorial road of white supremacists lurking under every rock by citing a shooting during Passover, April 2019, in Poway, Las Vegas, killing 1 person and injuring 3, and a shooting in El Paso, Texas, on August 3rd 2019, killing 22 people and injuring 24; both murderers claimed they had been inspired by the anti-immigrant rhetoric of Tarrant’s manifesto, which is banned in New Zealand only. 

I have no doubt that these sub-human killers may have been inspired by Tarrant, but alarmingly, Ghahraman commits an unforgivable blank-out by ignoring the 259 people killed and the 500 others injured in the massive Easter Sunday massacre in Sri Lanka on April 21st 2019, just one month after the Christchurch tragedy and within the same week of the Passover shooting Ghahraman cites in her essay.

Why did Ghahraman blank-out this massacre of massacres, which the Islamic State quickly took responsibility for?

The answer lies in the fact that, most awkwardly for our government, this massacre was yet another incident of Islamic jihad committed against Christians – and both Ghahraman and Prime Minister Ardern were neck-deep in loudly pushing the “They Are Us” empathy-with-Muslims campaign, all the while encouraging New Zealand women to cover their heads with hijabs in solidarity with the adherents of a particularly violent and female-oppressing ideology.
 
Which brings me to another unconscionable omission in Ghahraman’s essay about hate speech. 

The brutality and violence of Islam is prescribed in a well known ancient manifesto bursting with hate speech, i.e., actual incitements to violence – that is the Koran itself. This 7th-century manifesto openly calls for the murder of non-Muslims (infidels) and has not been banned in New Zealand.
 
Neither is there a ban in New Zealand on the fifteen issues of the Islamic State’s official recruitment tool, Dabiq magazine, an impeccably edited, glossily photographed, online publication still used to inspire young jihadis around the world to commit acts of terror wherever they are – and they do, as they did in Sri Lanka in the Easter Sunday massacre. Dabiq is currently available for free download in New Zealand – heck, you don’t even have to download it to view it. 

​But nary a word is ever spoken or written by the Iranian-born Ghahraman on this Islamic evil – she is solely focused on shutting down the free speech of the group called “white supremacists” – which has become a leftist euphemism for Christians or conservative-minded folks who seek to uphold traditional Western values, gifted to us by our magnificent colonial ancestors.
 
Ghahraman begins winding up her essay with these words:
 
“Everyone, every person of every race, gender and religion, has a huge interest in ensuring harmful and abusive content is appropriately regulated.”

Okey-dokey Wokey. Regulations be damned. All Jews outside of Germany still have to live with Mein Kampf being sold in bookstores and made freely available in libraries, and I don’t hear them constantly lamenting the fact – and they practically invented evocative Lamentations.
 
What is of huge interest to most of us, is to see our individual freedoms and equality before the law be kept intact as our forefathers intended, not be overridden by the woke groupthink of Ghahraman and her uncomely clan of ahistoric diversity worriers. They are the most toxic pedlars of harmful, abusive content into New Zealand’s cultural and political landscapes, and their shameless use of the Christchurch massacre to try to squelch our individual rights is well and truly obvious.

As an aside to the main topic under discussion (which I will get to in due course), I take exception to the constant, tired refrain sung by NZ that "the terrorist was an interloper from Australia."

Tarrant was just as much "one of us" as the people he shot. The victims no more belonged to NZ than he did, all of them were pretty much immigrants on temporary or other visas, just like he was. He was residing in NZ, it happened in NZ, so NZ should own it.

It is pathetic the way NZ tries to distance itself from the attacker because he spoiled the image NZ has of itself.

P.F:
I disagree. It’s important to keep highlighting the fact that Tarrant was not a Kiwi.

We were told ad nauseam in response to this massacre that NZ was a racist, bigoted nation and Tarrant’s act was so-called proof.
And then our laws were altered from the actions of a non citizen - absolute way out of line opportunism on the government’s part. And of course, he predicted all this in his manifesto with glee - showing he wanted to turn a democracy against itself by bringing certain issues to a head, and he chose NZ because it was a high trust society that was a soft target. What a troublemaking evil prick!

He didn’t have a love, patriotic interest or emotional investment in this country because he was not “one of us."

Agree 100% Olivia.
He is NOT "one of us". The overwhelming nationwide horror and wave after wave of sympathy for the victims is testimony to the fact that this crazed, manipulative murderer was an alien who just chose NZ as his venue.
He is not one of us.
Also - people like Golriz G and others (eg Ann Salmon) who claim that white supremacy is rife here in NZ are just wrong.

OK, Olivia and Doug, point taken. If NZ regarded the Mosque attacks as an outside terrorist attack - similar to the 9/11 attacks on the USA - then the resulting clampdown on NZ's rights and freedoms is all the more egregious.

No New Zealand does not own it, the unelected government should own it alongside the police who allowed it by handing Tarrant a firearms license without an interview and assessment and against warnings from gun club members.

Thank you Olivia for a very well written article, exposing the hugely imbalanced opinions of the anti Christian Left. As you point out, great emphasis is given to the occasional attack by what is called "white supremists". But completely no recognition of the many thousands of attacks and slaughter carried out by Islamist extremists:- 46 attacks, killing 218 innocent people between April 18th to 26th.

We should all have had the opportunity to read the manifesto so that we can draw our own conclusions and think for ourselves. From what I have heard about the manifesto, it sounds to me that Tarrant was a mentally disturbed individual with a variety of rambling objectives (like gun-control, immigration, anti-Islam, environment) rather than predominantly a white supremacist. Perhaps he belongs in a mental hospital, not in solitary confinement for life to appease the Muslims. The government dictates what we must think is the right decision.

After the massacre Research NZ did a survey for RNZ which (obliquely) asked "How do NZrs feel about diversity". The representative explained the results as "I think they tell us that we are 50:50 on diversity". Asia NZ found 41% think immigration form Asia will have a "positive impact". Those with "most knowledge" were "most positive".

The argument that NZ should become a multicultural country was never sold or won. We have simply been suppressed by a taboo re racism whereby you cannot exclude large populations on the basis that they are not us (where that perception is individual and instinctive).

Eric Kaufmann has painstakingly demonstrated that Brexit and Trump are the result of us/ours/them.

I was extremely disappointed when Tarrant pled guilty to his crimes thus avoiding a proper trial where the shortcomings of the police under commissioner Mike Bush could have had some sunlight shed
Tarrant a foreigner was allowed to enter this country purchase an assault rifle and thousands of rounds of ammunition No footprint in this country No relatives as sponsors No job or any proper background check . Now the Iranian refugee list MP can use this to push her agendas against law abiding New Zealanders

Unfortunately Olivia, we are a nation who sit in their lounges and moan to our family and friends. We do not protest loud and clear about the biased media who at the moment afore Princess Jacinda and the rest of the children running this Country. Even in Parliament The worst speaker we have ever had ( Trevor Mallard) will not allow many questions put to Jacinda to be acceptable. His bias and pathetic protection of her is embarrassing. I used to love the dynamics of politics, but no more. By the way what has happened to G G’s overstayer from Manus. Has he gone back or is he living with her??.

The loss of freedom of thought and freedom of speech had been creeping into NZ long before the mosque attacks by Tarrant in March of 2019.

Don Brash, who is a born and bred NZ'er - not a foreign interloper - and who was once the Governor of the Reserve Bank of NZ and Leader of the National Party, was being silenced in NZ at least in 2018, if not in years before that. And he was far from the only one.

Tarrant's attacks may have added fuel to the fire, but they did not cause the trend towards suppressing alternative viewpoints in NZ.
But his attacks helped make a bad situation worse by giving more power to the pro-Muslim voices, thanks to the impetus provided by Jacinda's performances.

NZ has had only one real terrorist-type attack (forget the Rainbow Warrior, it is ancient history). It was an isolated, one-of-a kind incident that was not “made in NZ.” But it played right into Jacinda’s ambitions of leading the world: The terrorist was white and he used an assault rifle.

Without any regard as to whether or not NZ had a gun problem, Jacinda dived in to show the world that she could do in five minutes what 45 American Presidents have been unable to do in 228 years. Without any regard as to whether white supremacy was a realistic threat to NZ or to the world, she dived in to the void to lead a world-wide suppression of the viewpoints of white supremacy and white nationalism.

None of this would have happened if NZ’s once-in-a-lifetime terrorist incident had been, say, an Islamic jihad attack on downtown Auckland using hijacked planes or a Palestinian refugee’s attack on a Jewish synagogue using a bomb.

It is thanks to Jacinda’s world-fame seeking ambitions, that newcomers like Golriz Ghahraman are empowered and nurtured to chip away at the long-standing rights and traditions of the country that was benevolent enough to give her asylum.

All whites cannot be smeared for the wrongful actions of one white male, just as all Muslims cannot be smeared for the wrongful actions of fellow-Muslims.

But we should not lose sight of the fact that there are two kinds of Muslims:

- "Cultural" Muslims, who are born into Islam, cherry-pick the nice parts, and don't act out on the nasty parts. They are practising what we might call “passive Islam” and are not at war with non-Muslims.

- "Religious" Muslims, who believe they have a theological obligation to make Islam supreme over all other religious and political systems. They are practising what we might call “active Islam” and are most certainly at war with us.

For convenience, let’s call the second group, "Islamists."

The West's problem is that a "cultural" Muslim can decide at any time to self-activate as an Islamist. This means every resident Muslim is just one imam and a desire for a closer religious commitment away from becoming a jihadist.

Let’s hear from arrested Australian Islamist, Ibrahim Abbas:

"I began to re-evaluate my belief in Allah and I began to believe in Allah again, and then thereafter I became religious and started to seek knowledge, familiarise myself with the faith. I listened to scholars that would talk about the life of the Prophet. I’d read books, attend lectures, go to the mosque, have discussions with people about the Islamic religion ... I believed it was obligatory upon me to eventually commit an act of terror."

My reading of Islamic scripture suggests the Islamists are theologically correct. They certainly believe that they are.

There are nice Muslims, but there’s no such thing as a "nice" Islam. Anything in Islam about religious tolerance towards non-Muslims comes from early in Muhammad’s prophethood [sic] when he was still trying to win converts by dawah ("outreach").

Once he had thousands of armed men riding behind him, Muhammad changed Islam to reflect his new-found power. His followers were now called upon to fight aggressive jihad and spread Islam by armed force.

Since Islam holds that the Koran is the absolute, revealed word of Allah, everything in it is "true." Contradictions between early, peaceful suras (verses) and later suras telling Muslims to fight non-Muslims for religious and political supremacy are resolved in Islamic jurisprudence by making the revelations situational.

Following the example and instructions of Muhammad, Islamists present as peaceful when their numbers are small, but only because this phase of battlefield preparation is best-accomplished by "making nice." They operate under a “religion of peace” public relations strategy until powerful enough to flex their muscles and kill.

Those peddling this line selectively quote Koran 2: 256: "There is no compulsion in religion," Koran 109: 6: “You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion,” and Koran 25: 63: “The worshippers of the All-Merciful [Allah] are those who tread the earth gently and, when the ignorant speak to them, they reply ‘Peace.’”

These are suras of the early period, when Mohammed was living in Mecca, had a mere handful of followers, and was still trying to win converts by persuasion. His subsequent revelations after the Hijrah (“migration”) to Medina make it clear Islam was only "peaceful" when Muhammad didn’t have the numbers.

Earlier suras about being nice to non-Muslims are struck out or overwritten by Muhammad’s later revelations. This Muhammad taught at Koran 2: 105: “Whatever verses we [Allah] cancel or cause you to forget, we bring a better or its like."

Muslims call this “naskh,” usually translated as “abrogation.”

Once Muslims are strong and numerous, they have a theological obligation to wage war on non-Muslims, as set out in Koran 47:35: “So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of (the reward of) your deeds.”

Jihadists are to start nearby and work outwards, as Koran 9: 123 makes clear: “O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).”

Here’s a few of the later revelations:

Bukhari: V1B2N25: “Allah’s Apostle was asked, ‘What is the best deed?’ He replied, ‘To believe in Allah and His Apostle Muhammad.’ The questioner then asked, ‘What is the next best in goodness?’ He replied, ‘To participate in Jihad, religious fighting in Allah's Cause.’”

Koran 8:39: "Fight them [non-Muslims] till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam."

Koran 9: 5: “Fight and kill the unbelievers wherever ye shall find them.”

Koran 47.4: "When you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads."

Koran 4: 95 e

Koran 4: 95 excuses Muslims whose circumstances (age, gender, infirmity) mean they can’t actively engage in Jihad, though they still have a duty to fund it. Jihadists, however, are accorded the greater status: “Allah has granted a rank higher to those who strive hard, fighting Jihad with their wealth and bodies to those who sit (at home). Unto each has Allah promised good, but He prefers Jihadists who strive hard and fight above those who sit home. He has distinguished his fighters with a huge reward.”

The more devout, the more passionately committed a Muslim is to Islam, the more he comes into alignment with Islam’s inherent extremism. While we keep telling ourselves what Islam means, Muslims keep showing us what Islam means. Islam is teaching us every day about what it actually is through the behaviour of its most devout followers.

While Muslims in NZ have suffered a disgusting and deplorable attack in their places of worship, their co-religionists elsewhere in a position to act out on their religion are doing exactly the same thing to non-Muslims, one-thousandfold.

The Christchurch mosque shootings are of enormous assistance to local Islamists, operating to reduce the mainstream's sense of threat; allowing Islamists and their dupes to paint Muslims as victims rather than the aggressive challengers the evidence of other jurisdictions confirms they will morph into once strong and numerous enough to act out on their religion.

Local Muslims are – for now – at the polite end of the Muslim spectrum. But once Islam attains a critical mass, expect a significant number will follow the commandments of their religion to self-segregate and wage aggressive jihad to advance Islam.

Speaking on the date of the Christchurch mosque shootings, controversial Australian senator, Fraser Anning, reminds us: "While Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators."

With the first Islamist terror attack on NZ soil, we will see the true face of Islam.

As at today’s date, there have been more than 36, 807 Islamist terrorist attacks since 9/11 and counting.

In 2019, there were 1, 752 Islamic attacks in 54 countries, in which 10, 409 people were killed and 10, 696 injured.

Puts Christchurch’s 51 deaths into perspective, doesn’t it?

It is a particular area the present HRC Commissioner has had interest in (2) Ms Ghahraman is one who is now in power to whom people are now speaking to; (3) If one wants to test human rights law in NZ mental health discrimination is a good place to start. Peterson et al have written that mental health suffers are liable to be discriminated against in every aspect of their lives: housing, work. medical care, family isolation. Some discrimination and harm does not excite any interest at all.
