Elisabeth’s Voice: An Update

Posted on by

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff at ACT! For America 1


One week from today Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff will go on trial in Vienna for “hate speech” — or, more precisely, for “denigrating religious teachings” — in a lecture she gave as part of one of her informational seminars about Islam.

Criminal procedure in Austria does not allow her or her attorney advance access to the tape of her seminar that was recorded by NEWS ( the Austrian newspaper which publicized her seminar, and which prepared the transcript which will being used against her in court). As a result, the entire tape will have to be played during the court session, which means that the proceedings may take more than one day.

Elisabeth is using the seminar transcript to prepare a point-by-point rebuttal of the charges filed against her. She will demonstrate that her statements represent an accurate account of sharia as established through a consensus of the scholars of Islamic law. Reliance of the Traveller by al-Misri, the most authoritative treatise in the Shafi’ite School of Islamic Law, will be one of her primary sources.

Elisabeth's Voice (small)Elisabeth’s Voice, the international initiative to provide funding for Elisabeth’s legal defense, has been an enormous success. Depending on how many days the trial takes, and how many levels of appeals will be necessary, she may now have enough in her fund to cover most of her legal costs.

To all those who contributed: we owe you an enormous debt of gratitude for your willingness to help Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff fight for the cause of free speech in Europe.

The list of participants in Elisabeth’s Voice has grown so long that I have put it below the jump. I included every link I could find, but I know I must have missed some. If your blog is not on the list, and you publicized Elisabeth’s case (including a link to her defense fund website), please send us an email so that you can be added to the roll of participants.

  1. You might love the sight of the biggest boulevard in Albania jammed with followers of the Misunderstood Religion of Peace.

    Are you interested in having Pat Condell in Albanian? I can do that. Best.

  2. Unfortunately, the prosecution will maintain that facts are no defense against [whatever it is they intend to charge].

    If you were to read, verbatim, in perfect Arabic, some of the more incendiary passages from the Koran – or the Hadith – without the proper respectful tone of voice – they’d charge you as well.

    netizen: Your link gets a “404 not found”.

  4. For those that wish to understand the 1400 yr history behind the current European dilemma, it would be helpful to scroll down to our link-page, and tap into: “Thoughts of a Nationalist Indian” by Dharmaveer. It’s there you’ll find the early stages of the ultimate terror now facing the world in the 21st century. The Hindu knows more of Islam’s grim tactics than any single nation on earth.

    Then read “Continuum of Wars” {post} for a few more pages of what the apostle was about:

    See: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

    Allah’s Apostle said: “I have become victorious with terror.” Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, 220
