Dr. Halla-aho convicted of blasphemy

Tags: Everything — Author:   @ 12:00 pm

The controversial blogger and Helsinki councilman Dr. Jussi Halla-aho recieved today a conviction of “breaching the sanctity of religion” i.e. blasphemy. He was sentenced by the Helsinki district court to pay 30 day fines amounting to 330 euros. Dr. Halla-aho has stated he will appeal on the verdict.

Dr. Halla-aho’s blog “Scripta – writings from the sinking west” came under scrutiny during his campaign for Helsinki city council as a nonaligned candidate on the True Finns ticket. Especially the women’s organization of the Green party took offence of his acerbic writings of immigration and multiculturalism. However bad taste is not a crime, which the Green Women found out trying in vain to destabilize Halla-ahos candidacy with frivolous police investigations.

The police took Halla-ahos blog under investigation after the state prosecutors office took interest in the case and the State Prosecutor Jorma Kalske raised two charges, one of “breaching the sanctity of religion” and another one “inciting hatered against a population group” of one blog entry appropriately named “A couple of baits for Mika Illman” (Mika Illman being the state prosecutor who had charged a few people over similar cases perviously). Halla-aho has stated he wanted to show the double standards regarding the treatment of different groups by the courts.

Surprisingly the charge on blasphemy stuck, even though that very law had been regarded as a dead letter since the 1960′s. According to the court “facts or logic do not have significance in religious discussion”. Fine by me, I’ll proclaim Charlie Manson as God and anyone claiming he is a deranged hippie will be charged, Helter Skelter.

    When a foreigner says shit about a finn/finland/salmiaki/etc its not racism… BUT when the opposite happens. “OMG, Call the police that the shenanigans are loose”.

    Happens the same stuff where I come from with the Afro-[insert the name of my country here].

    Btw, I am not saying that I am in favor of “an eye for an eye” kind of thinking but sometimes the law may alienate some moderates in favor of some trouble makers.

  • Argh

    Clean your grammar,man…

  • Mitä

    what’s your point, hangloose?

    Actually, saying shit about salmiaki is racist, even for us foreigners.

  • HangLoose

    @Argh
    Why? For whom?
    If you cant understand what I wrote maybe my grammar isnt the one to be blamed… ;)

    @Mitä
    No point, just saying what I think…
    What do you think?

    The West is really in love with Islam and the Arabs. We even released Abdelbaset al Megrahi, albeit for alleged oil deals. Nevertheless, he was released. As far as immigration is concerned, Eurabia is coming, and it’s further along than we think. Finland doesn’t really see it yet, but fortunately we have someone like Mr. Halla-aho. I also suggest perusing gatesofvienna.blogspot.com.

    “Especially the women’s organization of the Green party took offence of his acerbic writings of immigration and multiculturalism.”

    More specifically, they took offence of his rape fantasies concerning them. What bitches.

  • Hank W.

    It wasn’t a rape fantasy. He said something to the lines that as women get raped by illegal immigrants he’d rather see those women raped who are the ones wanting the illegal immigrants here. The Greens’ own MP Osmo Soininvaara has said something similar during the nurses strike discussion. “if someone needs to die due to the strike he’d rather it was one of the nurses own relatives”… So where was the objection then? Human brain needs protein. Greens are vegeterians. Go figure.

    I rather agree on the principle of those people enjoying the results who cause the effect. Say, if a green woman had a pitbull I rather it bit her kid rather than my kid. Fact remaining I’d rather not have a pitbull around and I am not wishing the pitbull to bite anyone, but as its not a perfect world pitbulls attack people . But as the green woman would be in love with her pitbull she would have an orgasm over me having “child-biting fantasies” instead of getting rid of the mutt.

  • same

    Following the logic of Hunk, I would rather wish for all Finnish women, who are against any (legal or illegal) immigrants coming to Finland to be raped only by their own Finnish guys: at home, in the streets, at parties, in parks, forests, saunas, wherever it has been happening long, long before Finland has even seen the first immigrant.

    Illegal immigrants in Finland? Are there such???

  • v.i.lenin

    My own God is much too sensible to get too worked up about all this nonsense…

    Hank:
    “It wasn’t a rape fantasy. He said something to the lines that as women get raped by illegal immigrants he’d rather see those women raped who are the ones wanting the illegal immigrants here.”

    I am very well aware of what he wrote initially as well as of the “cleaned up” version, in which he fantasized about the raping of green women in general instead of a particular former MP.

    This is particularly puzzling as it is Coalition women who appear to be the most vocal proponents of immigration. Perhaps even Hullu-uho didn’t dare to pick on them?

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    same:
    “Illegal immigrants in Finland? Are there such???”

    Of course there are. Are you completely retarded? (Well, yes, but THAT completely…)

    Hint: Schengen area.

    “This is particularly puzzling as it is Coalition women who appear to be the most vocal proponents of immigration. Perhaps even Hullu-uho didn’t dare to pick on them?”

    Nearly all parties are vocal proponents of immigration. They have allied themselves against Finns. That’s why retards like “same” above are here.

  • Hank W.

    But as we noticed theres been some Left Alliance and Greens politicians making statements about immigration re. the refugee centres in their own towns and they’ve been silenced by the head office because or racism xenophobia blaa blaa blaa… So the issue is still that no *discussion* is allowed. Just like Hullu-uho says its as if the sycophants found themselves a new agenda after the USSR fell. If you questioned communism or the paradise USSR you were anti-soviet and shunned. Look at the legislation they tried to pass in the 1970′s? Multiculturalism is the new religion.

  • x

    Pity this multiculturalism…
    Stop internet stop english and return 50% of your borrowed words. :)

  • x

    But how it ended that controversy among our hero the hullu-uhu against those semi-foreign scandalous green women?

  • same

    And thanks to increasing legal immigration and other sneaking in foreigners from Schengen zone (wonder what for)the percentage proportions of morons like Jaska is constantly decreesing. And more beautiful women coming here.Great!

  • x

    Rarely I read that word kukkahattu tädet, is it often used in english as flowerhats aunties or it’s quite local peculiar and exotic Finnish?
    I don’t know if it’s more related to some hippie women men or to some rednecks hillybillies moralist old conservative guys.

  • Hank W.

    The flowerhatted auntie is from Swedish Pippi Longstocking movies the busybody Fröken Prysselius.

  • http://kauhistunut remember PA103

    Remember Pan Am Flight 103, 21.12.88. Muistakaa Hanne Maria Maijala Root. Istuin 34K (Seat 34K);killed by raghead Mohammedans. Remember September 11th, 2001. All of these atrocities committed by Mohammedans,but also importantly, by A-Rabs. Not all Muslims are Arab; not all Arabs are Muslim. Yet most terrorists are Muslim, although many Muslims are not terrorists. Arabs are most of the terrorists who do happen to be Muslim. Support Jussi Halla-aho. We don’t want Mohammedans here, but we also don’t want A-Rabs here.

  • same

    “We don’t want Mohammedans here, but we also don’t want A-Rabs here.”

    And we don’t want fucking Nazis anywhere else in the world. Finland should be a locked ghetto for donkeys like that pisshead.

  • Jaska

    “And we don’t want fucking Nazis anywhere else in the world. Finland should be a locked ghetto for donkeys like that pisshead.”

    So, how about this deal: you get the hell out of my country and I promise not to move to your country?

  • same

    FYI you stupid git – I move out when and where I wish to, not when you dicks tell me.

    But I promise you, whenever I meat a Finn in MY country – and there is enough of you buggers there – he or she will get same type of “welcome” from me and my friends as we get here. For starter I will always ask a Finn in MY country WTF he’s doing here and when is he going to leave.

  • Hank W.

    I wonder what Finns would be doing in a donkey-fucker ghetto?

  • timpal

    Hey Comment by same! You are welcome to stay here, as are all Humanist A-Rab lovers. But, I also have my rights to my so called “Nazi” opinions. And they are not that, I assure you. Yet,this is one of the last white refuges here in Finland. What’s the problem? Russia is the next last one. As I walk down Nevskii Prospekt in former Leningrad, I see perhaps two or three blacks in the whole 5 kilometres. I do see all kinds of Caucasians and Khazaks, and other former “citizens” and immigrants from the Krapistans, but overall, it’s a very European Russian scene.

  • timpal

    I dunno if Comment by same is Oz, Cannuck, or Yank? Anyway, about the year 2003 January, I was picking up some Finns at Newark EWR in NJ from a SAS flight. Whilst walking to my car, we were conversing in Finnish. All of a sudden, an American chap, approximately 30 to 35, thin, red hair, moustache, came screaming and bellowing at us from between the cars. He yelled: I lived in Finland, and all I ever got from you people was Fuck You Ämerickälläinen.” Needless to say, I was stunned, as I certainly was victim to similar Finn’s assaults in Finland. And I’m fucking Finnish originally, but immigrated to the Anglosphere at a very tender age. I didn’t know whether to symphthise, or to attack back? All I could do in the moment, was instinctively respond in my Brooklynese accent, “Hey buddy, I live here,”.. whereupon he gave me a peculiar short surprised gaze, and sped off. He must have been embarrassed, and realized his folly. And that’s good; as a Brooklyn boy, I’d have been happy to give him a good walloping, and say that no wonder the Finns gave you shit with an attitude like that. But kidding aside, it was an unfortunate incident, as the young Finnish girls visiting USA for the first time witnessed this. Yet, they turned out to be the Bush Hater anti-American types anyway, so it’s okay in the end. Yet, I always wondered, that I should have wallopped that red headed Yank boy in Newark’s parking lot. No one talks to me that way.

    “He yelled: I lived in Finland, and all I ever got from you people was Fuck You Ämerickälläinen.”

    I kinda feel sorry for him. That is tough luck if anything. There are quite a lot of Americans who have been living in Finland, including the most recent Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas. They all have been victims of this “anti-Americanism” but eventually they won peoples’ minds. Nowadays Tim Thomas (used as an example only) is considered to be a Finn, among Finns. Yeah, they’ll give you tough time, but they’ll never forget you. Afterwards they will remember you as long as you live.

    You can leave Finland, but Finland will never leave you!

  • sun and fun

    I SAY: LEAVE THOSE MENTAL SICK LIVING IN FINLAND ALONE .

  • sun and fun

    98%OF FINNS ARE SUFURRING FROM MENTAL BROBLEMS.

  • sun and fun

    FINLAND IS COLD, DARK AND POORING COUNTRY.
    ALSO FINLAND HAS NO FUTURE AND THE FINNS WILL DISAPPEARES IN 50 YEARS.

  • mkarthy

    Nobody’s been talking about the “blasphemy” charges. I thought that was long gone in the 16th century. What are they going to do to you next, flog you in public ? Accuse you of witchcraft ?
