Jihad Escalates in Copenhagen Pamela Geller, Breitbart News
This is war. Real war, not theoretical war.Not one day after we announced the First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest, an event featuring Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks in Copenhagen, Denmark was attacked in the continuing war on our most basic freedoms. And that was just the first of two assaults on freedom in Copenhagen on Saturday.

Last week, Muslims fired upon police in a no-go zone outside of Marseille in France. That’s what civil war looks like in 21st-century Europe. This has been bubbling below the surface for years. I began reporting on a low-grade civil war in Denmark between Muslims and “bikers” back in 2008. Did anyone think that the situation would stand still since then? It’s fluid — all of it — and the undertow is pulling us under, unless we fight back.
The first attack Saturday in Islam’s ongoing war on Europe was at the Krudttoenden cafe in Copenhagen, at an event entitled “Art, Blasphemy and Freedom of Expression,” featuring Vilks and Francois Zimeray, the French ambassador to Denmark. An eyewitness said: “We heard… 20 or 30 shots and a person yelling something in Arabic.”
Vilks told me on Friday that he was continuing his ongoing work to defend the freedom of speech and that he had worked out a series of lectures and seminars in conjunction with an organization in Denmark, the Lars Vilks committee. He added that he was also speaking at Swedish universities. “And it works well,” he said. “Of course, I am still a very controversial person and, by some people, looked upon as an extreme racist.”
Nonetheless, he was optimistic, adding: “The Charlie Hebdo murder has had some effect on the subject. There is a more open interest for questions concerning freedom of speech and criticism of Islamism. I think it works best when the problems with Islam is presented together with many other kinds of censorship.”
We had asked Vilks if he wanted to judge our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest, which will be held in Garland, Texas on May 3, as he spoke at our American Freedom Defense Initiative Freedom Conference on September 11, 2012 — the day of the Islamic jihad attacks on our embassies in Cairo and Benghazi. However, after this shooting in Copenhagen, it seems highly unlikely that he will join us again. But freedom fighter Geert Wilders will be there.
Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, it got even worse. A couple of hours after the shooting at the free speech debate at the Krudttoenden cafe, there was another shooting at a Copenhagen synagogue. The targets in Copenhagen are the same as the targets in Paris last month: Muhammad cartoonists and Jews: those who have blasphemed according to Islam’s blasphemy laws, and the perpetual scapegoats and primary targets of devout Muslim hatred.
But in the face of this violence, the West is surrendering. What will the response to the Denmark cartoon shootings be? More calls for censorship and submission in the once-free world to Sharia blasphemy laws. Cowardice rules the day.
It’s already happening. The Huffington Post fumed that the “Texas ‘Draw the Prophet’ Contest is Shameless Muslim-Baiting.” Free speech is now “Muslim baiting,” according to the knaves of Islam at the Huffington Post. Muslims are murdering people, setting churches ablaze, and firing on cafes in Denmark where a cartoonist speaks at a free speech debate, and the Huffington Post attacks me for standing up for free speech.
Their editorial bias stands with the murderers and supremacists – as does that of CBS News, which titled its story, “Contest For Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad Draws Concern.”
The media is concerned? Why? Muslims are peaceful, right? So what’s the problem?
CBS quoted Alia Salem of the DFW Chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations, claiming that she supported freedom of speech. “We should have free speech, and nobody’s stopping her from doing this, go ahead, maybe there’ll be some Muslims entering this, who knows.” Yeah, right.
Salem said she was against the Charlie Hebdo jihad attack. “The very limited instances where I would agree with Pamela Geller would be this, that shouldn’t have happened, that’s not ok, that’s not ok for someone to commit a crime because someone drew a cartoon for crying out loud.”
That is true, and it’s why we’re having this event. We are going to stand with the editors of Charlie Hebdo. If you say “Je Suis Charlie,” you’re going to have to mean it. It’s not just a hashtag. To defend the freedom of speech, you’ve got to walk the walk and you’ve got to talk the talk, because people are dying because of cartoons. If Alia Salem really cared about the freedom of speech, she would be standing with us.
The lines are drawn. Free speech and free society is under serious assault. Is the West going to fight for freedom? Or just give up? Stand, now, for freedom. It’s worth fighting for, it’s worth dying for.

A muslim couldn’t have fired on police in France in a no-go zone. There aren’t any no-go zones.

Western liberals have such a condescending attitude towards Muslims. They’re treated like special needs potentially violent children.
Imagine a “draw Moses” contest. Islam borrowed the Jewish injunction against images and idolatry. Jews don’t riot and murder if someone draws Moses or ” God” for example. They simply don’t create these images themselves for their synagogues or books. Can you imagine if Jews started murderimg people connected with the filming of the Ten Commandments? Can you imagine the media telling people not to “bait Jews ” or Christians?No Jews and Christians are expected to behave like sane, law-abiding moral , tolerant, rational and loving people. Muslims aren’t .

OM – well said. You are right, the pathetically cowardly and moronic Western liberals do treat Muslims like “they’re special needs potentially violent children”. Evident is that Western liberals now expect Muslims to behave like uncontrolled, demented lunatics and psychopaths. After all, that is the effect of Islam and Mohammed on individuals who take seriously this satanic ideology.

On par, NewYork Times in spin overdrive. Down is up… Dark is light… unassimilated Omar El-Hussein is a Denmark “native.”
NYTimes: Terror Attacks By a Native Son Rock Denmark

Mohammud Awil, who has lived in Mjolnerparken since emigrating from Somalia 26 years ago, blamed extremist self-declared preachers who “pick on young people who drink or use drugs because they are very weak.” Mr. Awil, a bus driver, said he knew several families whose Danish-born children had gone to fight in Somalia or the Middle East. “They get brainwashed,” he said.

He is a native son of Islam – an unassimilated Muslim.
Native sons of Denmark have Danish values. Native sons of Islam have Islamic values.

Here we see NYSlime editors trying hard to earn extra credit from Professor Obama with mendacious literary allusions to Richard Wright’s classic communist indoctrination narrative, “Native Son.”
The headline is a dog whistle for propaganda support from orthodox wacademia– who will now dutifully explain (to the ignorant masses) that Omar El-Hussein is somehow the new Muslim “Bigger Thomas”– driven to manslaughter by oppressive poverty and framed for murder by (sob) racism.
Watch as their predictable Mumia-cult parrots commence squawking.

Muslims must have tunnel vision or they never look at the media at all if they wonder why there is “Islamophobia”. As somebody said, why is there no Hinduphobia, Buddhaphobia or Sihkphobia? Because those faiths do not commit atrocities against
other faiths or try to force their beliefs onto others. The real reason of course is the Islam is perfect and must rule the world, so the corollary is that Muslims are perfect as well and can do no wrong as they are doing Allah’s bidding.

Nothing to do with Islam

Fear rules, and it has to. For us infidels there is no paradise. A big number of muslims are foolish enough to think they will have a great afterlife so all they care about is beiing a good muslim, what means being a pain in the butt for the rest of the world

If Denmark would only start rounding up these muslim terrorists, then maybe the rest of Europe might start doing the same. Denmark is a very small country so it wouldn’t be to hard to do. However, at the rate they are going, there will not be any intelligent Jewish people left in Denmark. It will be a terrible loss if all the Jews decide to leave.
