Én israeler for 1000 palæstinensiske arabere
04. november 2011 – klumme af Rachel Adelberg Johansen
Israel stod i et moralsk dilemma med frigivelsen af Gilad Shalit. Sagen afslører en afgrundsdyb forskel på Israel og dets fjender, skriver Rachel Adelberg Johansen.
Det seneste anslag mod ytringsfriheden rejser spørgsmålet: Skal en 1400-år gammel selvudråbt “profet”, være redaktør eller skal vi selv bestemme, hvad vi vil skrive, og hvad vi vil læse?

Special: Latest firebombing of French magazine highlights Islamist threat to freedom
Giulio Meotti – November 5, 2011
The office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was badly damaged by a firebomb on Wednesday, after it published a spoof issue “guest edited” by the Prophet Muhammad to salute the victory of the Islamist party in Tunisia’s elections.
The magazine had announced a special issue for publication, renamed “Charia Hebdo,” a play on the French word for Islamic law. The magazine’s website has also been hacked with a message in English and Turkish. The fatwa said: “You keep abusing Islam’s almighty Prophet with disgusting and disgraceful cartoons using excuses of freedom of speech. Be Allah’s curse upon you!”
The smoke had barely cleared from the firebombed office of Charlie Hebdo magazine – attacked for publishing cartoons of Mohammed – when TIME magazine’s Bruce Crumley chose to criticise the satirists before the terrorist. James Kirchick denounces a too-familiar tendancy
There exists an unspoken rule in the Republic of Letters — that land where novelists, poets, mere ink-stained wretches like myself, think tank scholars who churn out dry policy reports…really anyone who writes for a living, reside: No one should be physically harmed, let alone threatened, for something that they publish. Don’t get me wrong. I love literary feuds, even the bristling, (if well placed and rare), ad hominem attack. But the minute someone raises a fist, he’s lost the argument. Indeed, it’s a sign of a shallow mind and an insecure personality (see Norman Mailer) when a writer, flummoxed by the prowess of his intellectual adversary, resorts to throwing a scotch glass across the room. I hope that if my worst enemy, someone who wrote things that I absolutely despise, were ever confronted with violence by a fanatic of any sort, (even someone ostensibly “on my side”), I would defend him to the hilt.
French firebombing: Attack on magazine is a violent reminder of the satirist’s risk
By Michael Cavna
“Satirist dies in retaliatory religious violence.”
It’s a headline I hope never to see, of course — yet I grow increasingly concerned I might.
Home invasions and murder plots. Grisly photos and online threats. Virtual fatwas and firebombs.
In the past six years, such artists as Lars Vilks and Kurt Westergaard and “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker and the illustrator formerly known as Molly Norris — to name just a handful — have had reason to fear for their physical safety after depicting and/or satirizing Muhammad.
No one at France’s national satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, was laughing this week after the publication’s Paris offices were destroyed by a firebomb overnight late Tuesday or early Wednesday morning. It is believed Islamists, angry that the editors had named the Prophet Mohammad as guest “editor-in-chief” for this week’s edition, were responsible for the attack. The edition was dedicated to a satire of sharia law, but the firebomb assault took place before it had even hit the newsstands on Wednesday.
“We received threats, but no one had seen this edition,” said Stephane Charbonnier, the magazine’s designer and director. “People reacted violently to the paper yet they were completely ignorant of the edition’s contents; that is the most aberrant and idiotic.”
Islamic supremacists have firebombed and caused extensive damage to the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine in Paris, after it ran an issue featuring Islam’s prophet Muhammad as the guest editor.
Some Muslims didn’t get the joke. Recently the magazine’s website was hacked; the hackers left this message: “You keep abusing Islam’s almighty Prophet with disgusting and disgraceful cartoons using excuses of freedom of speech. Be Allah’s curse upon you!” The firebombing followed shortly thereafter.
The destruction of the Charlie Hebdo offices is the ugly obverse of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s ongoing campaign to compel Western states to criminalize criticism of Islam, including discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. The objective of this campaign, of course, is to render Western countries mute and hence defenseless against the advancing jihad.

St. Paul’s Occupied Cathedral
Britain has bred a new culture with no knowledge, curiosity or pity for what went before.
By Douglas Murray, 2nd November 2011
On Oct. 15, a group emulating New York’s Occupy Wall Street decided to set up in the City of London. They originally hit the stock exchange, but after police told them to move on, they’ve now settled at the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Initially welcomed, the militant campers have spent the last fortnight claiming the area as their own. Dozens of tents litter the cathedral’s courtyard; the outdoor walls of businesses surrounding St. Paul’s are plastered with messages and posters—some coherent, others less so. Last week the church closed temporarily for the first time since World War II, and the toll of the protesters is sparking public concern for a building that survived the Luftwaffe.
In September 2009, Barack Obama and Muammar Qaddafi both addressed the United Nations. It is a pitiful reflection upon the Republic in twilight that, when it comes to the transnational mush drooled by the leader of the free world or the conspiracist ramblings of a pseudo-Bedouin terrorist drag queen presiding over a one-man psycho-cult basket case, it’s more or less a toss-up as to which of them was the more unreal.
Qaddafi spoke for 90 minutes, and in the midst of his torrent of words, his translator actually broke down and cried out, “I can’t take it anymore.” The colonel gravely informed the world body that the swine flu was a virus that had been created in a government laboratory, and he called for a UN inquiry into the Kennedy assassination on the grounds that Jack Ruby was an Israeli who killed Lee Harvey Oswald to stop the truth coming out about Kennedy being killed to prevent an investigation into the Zionist nuclear facility at Dimona.
Occupiers part of grand alliance against the productive
At heart, Oakland’s occupiers and worthless political class want to live as beneficiaries of a prosperous Western society without making any contribution to the productivity necessary to sustain it.
By Mark Steyn – November 4, 2011
Way back in 1968, after the riots at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, Mayor Daley declared that his forces were there to “preserve disorder.” I believe that was one of Hizzoner’s famous malapropisms. Forty-three years later, Jean Quan, mayor of Oakland, and the Oakland City Council have made “preserving disorder” the official municipal policy. On Wednesday, the “Occupy Oakland” occupiers rampaged through the city, shutting down the nation’s fifth-busiest port, forcing stores to close, terrorizing those residents foolish enough to commit the reactionary crime of “shopping,” destroying ATMs, spraying the Christ the Light Cathedral with the insightful observation “F**k”, etc. And how did the Oakland City Council react? The following day they considered a resolution to express their support for “Occupy Oakland” and to call on the city administration to “collaborate with protesters.”

Pamela Geller speaks to the Sugar Land Tea Party in Sugar Land, Texas.

The event was relocated to the Sugar Land Community Center.

Hotel boots anti-sharia conference
Chad Groening – November 1, 2011
A terrorism expert and Islam watchdog says a Nashville hotel has caved to Islamic supremacism.
The Tennessee Freedom Coalition describes itself as a group dedicated to keeping sharia law from being established in the United States. It had booked space for November 11 at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville to host a 300-person event called “The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference” — and event touted as the first national conference on sharia and the “Islamization of America.”
But Fox News has reported that when hotel officials learned that sharia critics Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer were scheduled to speak, they promptly canceled the event and returned the deposit, citing security concerns.
Staver seeking actual cause of hotel’s ‘security concerns’
Chad Groening – 11/4/2011
In the opinion of a Christian law firm, a Nashville hotel was unjustified in canceling an upcoming conference that features several staunch critics of radical Islam.
As previously reported on OneNewsNow, the Tennessee Freedom Coalition had booked space at Hutton Hotel in Nashville to host a 300-person event called “The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference” — an event touted as the first national conference on sharia and the “Islamization of America.”
What should we think of this sharia affair? Could it be that we have supported the insurgents of Benghazi, only to discover, when it’s all over, a State that forbids divorce and re-establishes polygamy? Details. Explanations.
1. It all began with one phrase. A single phrase. Of course, this phrase didn’t come from just anyone, since it was uttered by Mustafa Abdeljalil, the President of the National Transitional Council and father of the victory. But, president or not, Abdeljalil is a member of a Council whose decisions are collegial. And this Council is, as its name indicates, an organ of transition whose purpose is not to decree the laws of the future Libya.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales talks about censorship, biased journalism, and the Arab Spring.
by Blake Hounshell | November 3, 2011
In 2001, tech entrepreneur Jimmy Wales launched Wikipedia as a free and open compendium of the world’s knowledge — an Internet encyclopedia edited in real time and authored by its readers. A decade later, Wikipedia has become a global household name and a valued resource for tens of millions of people, with more than 20 million articles across 282 languages.
Foreign Policy’s Blake Hounshell, along with three other journalists, met with Wales at the third annual World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), hosted by the state of Qatar. Wales spoke about Wikipedia’s expansion plans, biased journalism, and his battle against censorship. Excerpts:
Political warrior David Horowitz reflects on life and death.
Theodore Dalrymple – 4 November 2011
A Point in Time: The Search for Redemption in This Life and the Next, by David Horowitz (Regnery, 128 pp., $24.95)
Death is every life’s inevitable denouement, but La Rochefoucauld told us that we can no more stare it in the face than we can stare at the sun. For the most part, we continue our daily round in a state of presumed immortality, and because we are so unfamiliar nowadays with death—it having been carefully put out of our sight by a host of professionals—we treat it as an unwarranted intrusion into our affairs rather than as an existential limit to our brief earthly sojourn. For many, death has become anomalous rather than inevitable, something to protest against rather than accept. For them, the concept of a good death is entirely alien or antipathetic.

Strong support for Shariah in Canada
By Kris Sims – November 1, 2011
A newly released survey suggests a large number of Muslims living in Canada will not disown Al-Qaida.
The study, conducted by the MacDonald Laurier Institute, found 65% of Muslims questioned said they would “repudiate absolutely” the terrorist organization, while 35% would not do so.
“From a security perspective, it is difficult to know if a 65% rate of repudiation (of Al-Qaida) is re-assuring or a 35% failure to repudiate troubling,” wrote study authors Christian Leuprecht, associate professor of the Royal Military College of Canada and Conrad Winn, Carleton University professor and president of COMPAS, a public opinion research firm.
