It is time to banish wishful thinking about Islamism

By Ayaan Hirsi Ali – February 8, 2012

A year ago many western commentators were celebrating an Arab spring. The internet generation personified by Wael Ghonim, the Google marketing executive, would take over power from military dictators and absolute monarchs in democratic elections. Those of us who warned that political Islam would be the principal beneficiary of elections in north Africa and the Middle East were dismissed as scaremongers.

Ever since 9/11, opinions in the west have been sharply divided on the popularity and legitimacy of political Islam. A minority – and I am one of them – argued that Islamism as a political doctrine was held by the mainstream in most of the House of Islam and particularly among Arabs; that violence was inherent in Islamist theory; and that if Islamists won state power they would not deliver prosperity.

Geert Wilders & Mike Rosen – May 3, 2012

Guest: Geert Wilders, author of, “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.”

Sandheden om hvad der udløste det hollandske valg den 15. september 2012, er omsider kommet frem. Statsminister, Mark Rutte, angreb Geert Wilders på det groveste - midt under budgetforhandlingerne - og sagde, at han ville ødelægge Frihedspartiet, som Wilders er formand for. Derfor udvandrede Wilders fra forhandlingerne og opsagde aftalerne om at fungere som støtteparti. Wilders’ modstand imod alt for drastiske besparelser på statens budgetter har ellers hidtil fået hele skylden. Nis News skrev den 15. maj 2012:

Premier Mark Rutte’s reputation as the good-humoured gentleman has been dented now that it has emerged that he made a fierce attack behind the scenes on Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders.

Rutte was confronted on TV programme Pauw&Witteman last Friday evening with a rumour that he threatened to “decimate” the PVV if Wilders did not sign up to an accord for 14 billion euros in budget cutbacks for 2013. Rutte confirmed that he “may have said something like this”.

Wilders said Saturday evening on TV programme EenVandaag that Rutte’s words had been even stronger. According to the PVV leader, the premier told him “I will break that little party of yours down to the last seat.”

Wilders om EUs krav – Reuters:

“I cannot explain to anyone that these parties signed a blank cheque of 40 billion euros for Greece and perhaps for Spain, Italy and other countries while we demand 12 billion euros from the Dutch citizens,” Wilders told TV station RTL 7.

Og der er mere uenighed:

  • Hvis Holland skal tilslutte sig EUs stabilitetspagt, European Stability Mechanism, ESM, skal vælgerne spørges først. Det siger Geert Wilders, der nu anlægger sag ved de hollandske domstole. Den afgående regering har ikke handlet lovligt ved at underskrive aftalen, som i følge Wilders er suverænitetsafgivelse. Det skriver flere kilder, blandt andre Expatica.
  • Opdatering 5. juni 2012: Wilders tabte retssagen, skriver flere kilder blandt andre The Irish Times og Expatica. Wilders overvejer at anke sagen, skriver Reuters.

Jeg har lavet et lille overblik over noget af Wilders rolle i hollandsk politik det sidste halve år:

  • Bill Gates, Desmond Tutu og Bob Geldof følte sig kaldet til at blande sig i den politiske debat i april. De synes ikke om Wilders Frihedspartis (PVV) forslag om at skære i bistandshjælpen til udviklingslande. Det er som bekendt EU, der har krævet voldsomme stramninger i det offentliges udgifter. Tutu og Geldof har haft læserbreve i hollandske aviser og Bill Gates har ringet til en tv-kanal, skriver Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Avisen Volkskrant modtog også en opringning, fortæller DutchNews. Gates har desuden inviteret Wilders på besøg i Afrika for at se på udviklingsprojekter, fortæller The Irish Times.
  • I april 2012 viste en Klout-undersøgelse, at Geert Wilders ligger på top 10 over de mest indflydelsesrige hollændere på Twitter.
  • Wilders protesterede over den tyrkiske islamist og præsident Abdullah Güls tre dage lange besøg i Holland. Af en eller anden urimelig grund har hollænderne valgt at markere 400 året for diplomatiske forbindelser mellem de to lande. Fra Expatica den 18. april 2012:

“The Turkish president described Mr Wilders as an Islamophobe in an interview with popular daily De Telegraaf. He said the Freedom Party leader expressed extremist views that fostered radicalism.”

Og Wilders svarede via Twitter – fra armenske Panorama:

“Islamist Gul, who persecutes the Christians, attacks the Kurds and is in friendly relations with Hamas, complaint of intolerance. Typical Turkish humor.”

“Turkey has a number of shortcomings – imprisonment of journalists covering criticism, denial of Armenian Genocide, pressure against national minorities. However, due to Kemal Ataturk’s advanced visions Turkey managed to become a strategic ally of the West and shared military and diplomatic cooperation with Israel for so long.”

  • Holland bør droppe euroen og reintroducere hollandske gylden, synes Wilders, der i marts måned plæderede for en folkeafstemning, fremgår det af Bloomberg. En analyse lavet af det britiske Lombard Street Research viser, at den hollandske økonomi er alvorligt hæmmet af euro-medlemsskabet, fortæller The Independent.
  • Wilders Frihedsparti har oprettet en hjemmeside og en hotline, hvor hollændere kan indrapportere de problemer, de oplever med østarbejdere, skriver Deutsche Welle. Hjemmesiden hedder “Meldpunt Midden en Oost Europeanen“. EU, Polen, Bulgarien, Rumænien, Ungarn, Tjekkiet, Slovakiet, Slovenien, Estland, Letland, Lithauen, - har klaget over denne “hadetale”. Tilsidst blev den hollandske regering presset til også at lægge afstand til initiativet. Som man kan regne ud, handler det først og fremmest om østeuropæernes ofte meget kriminelle adfærd. Wilders vil heller ikke have Bulgarien og Rumænien med i Schengen. Midt i februar havde PVVs site mere end 40.000 kommentarer. Da havde det kun været åbent i en uge. Wilders har da også svaret kritikerne med et “Mind your own business”, skriver The Global Post. EU-Kommissionens danske cheftalskvinde, Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen, udtalte i følge NYDailyNews, at hjemmesiden muligvis kunne være et brud på EUs hade-tale-love. Jojo.
  • I januar foreslog Wilders, at den hollandske regering undskylde deportationen af landets jøder under anden verdenskrig. Mere end 100.000 jøder blev deporteret til dødslejre i Tyskland og Polen. Den hollandske stat solgte de ejendomme, de myrdede jøder var tvunget til at forlade, skriver World of Judaica. I dag bor der kun 30.000 jøder i Holland. Mark Ruttes regering har svaret, at de vil overveje forslaget. Der er til dato ikke kommet noget svar på Wilders anmodning.
  • Den hollandske regering bør arbejde på at få Tyrkiet ud af Nato, mener Wilders’ Frihedsparti i følge The Jerusalem Post, som skrev om det allerede i december 2011.
  • Den egyptiske regering protesterede allerede i november 2011 over Geert Wilders nye bog, skriver Wilders på sin blog. Egypterne anklagede Wilders for at bagvaske islam og den hollandske ambassadør i Egypten blev kaldt i samråd i det Egyptiske udenrigsministerium. Ingen kan imidlertid have læst sig til den antagelse, – bogen er som bekendt først udkommet for få uger siden.

“Before Somebody Gets Hurt”?

by Hugh Fitzgerald – 16 January 2012

Apparently Christopher Dickey, who for many years had a photograph of Yasir Arafat hanging on his Newsweek office wall in Paris, thinks that “someone could get hurt” if Geert Wilders continues to say what, for the well-informed, is obvious: that what is in Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira, if taken to heart, makes every Believer a menace, in posse and, whenever the spirit moves him, in esse, to all non-Muslims. Apparently Christopher Dickey has not noticed the 2.5 million black African Christians killed in the southern Sudan by northern Muslims, never noticed what happened to the Igbo and other Christians before, during, and after the Biafra War, has not noticed what has been happening to Christians in Iraq and in Pakistan and in Indonesia [...]

Geert Wilders & Kathleen Walter – Islam: Culture of Barbarism – 04 May 2012

From Newsmax.TV: Wilders is a critic of Islam, campaigning against what he sees as the “Islamisation of the Netherlands.” He has compared the Quran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and has called for the book to be banned. He also advocates ending immigration from Muslim countries.

There is only one Islam; this is the Islam of the holy book the Quran and the Islam of the prophet Mohammed. It’s not so much a religion, it’s an ideology, Wilders said.

Resisting threat of fanatical Islam

West must not surrender permanent liberty for temporary tolerance

By Geert Wilders – May 4, 2012

As I write these lines, there are police bodyguards at the door. No visitor can enter my office without passing through several security checks and metal detectors. I have been marked for death. I am forced to live in a heavily protected safe house. Every morning, I am driven to my office in the Dutch Parliament building in an armored car with sirens and flashing blue lights. When I go out, I am surrounded, as I have been for the past seven years, by plainclothes police officers. When I speak in public, I wear a bulletproof jacket.

Who am I? I am neither a king nor a president, nor even a government minister; I am just a simple politician in the Netherlands. But because I speak out against expanding Islamic influence in Europe, I have been marked for death. If you criticize Islam, this is the risk you run. That is why so few politicians dare to tell the truth about the greatest threat to our liberties today. The Islamic threat to the West is worse than the communist threat ever was. Think of it this way: Politicians who warned against the Soviet threat weren’t forced into hiding, as we who speak out against Islam are.

Dear friends,

I am happy to be in New York again, even though in my country today it is Queen’s day, a national celebration. This is why I am wearing my orange tie.

Thank you, Nina, for organizing this event and giving me the opportunity to address all of you. It is always good to be among friends. It is an honor to be here in the presence of so many people who care for the preservation of freedom in our civilization.

It is great to be in America, the beacon of liberty, the land of the free, the land where people are still allowed to speak freely. I know what I am talking about. I was acquitted after a legal ordeal that lasted almost 3 years. I had been brought to court for criticizing Islam.

Muslims upset as Wilders promotes new book

03/05/2012

According to the largest cooperation group of Muslim countries, Geert Wilder’s new book is nothing but a repetition of his previous hate campaign against Islam, which is actually an abusive use of freedom of expression.

A spokesperson for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation OIC expressed dismay at the publication of Wilders’ new book,  “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.” According to the OIC’s website, “the new book is nothing but a repetition of Mr. Wilders campaign of hate mongering against Islam in abusing of his right of freedom of expression. Suffice it to say that his activities have been denounced and disavowed by the Dutch Government, Dutch Parliament, the European Parliament as well as the Council of Europe.”

Geert Wilders: ‘Marked for Death: Islam’s War against the West and Me’

By Soeren Kern – April 30th, 2012

Islam is waging an aggressive war against the West; nothing less than the future of individual liberty is at stake.

The conflict is civilizational in scope and is being fought on two primary fronts: Europe and America.

The Islamization of the West is being aided and abetted by multiculturalists in Europe and America who are enforcing politically correct curbs on free speech designed to silence all criticism of Islam.

Two cheers for Danish justice

Melanie Phillips – 22 April 2012

In the event, Denmark pulled back from the brink. Following my piece here a few days ago about the witch-hunt against the President of the Danish Free Press society Lars Hedegaard, the Danish Supreme Court ruled last Friday that he was not guilty after all of hate speech and racism – the second time he has been acquitted of this charge in a roller-coaster of a case which has stained Denmark’s reputation for justice, free speech and common-sense.

So a victory, certainly — but still only two cheers for Denmark’s legal system.  First, as has been the case throughout this saga, the acquittal – like the previous acquittal and conviction – turned merely on the narrow question of whether the remarks by Hedegaard which were in contention had been made in a private forum. The Supreme Court decided that he had had ‘no intention of disseminating his remarks to a wider audience’, and that therefore no offence had been committed.

Europe’s auto-immune disease

Melanie Phillips - 17 April 2012

Melanie Phillips Blog The Daily Mail

In decadent Europe, freedom of speech is dying. Loudly trumpeted as a ‘human right’ for any attacks on America, Israel, Christians or on the core values of the west, it is swiftly transformed into ‘hate speech’ and the shutters are slammed down on the speaker whenever Islam is in the frame.

Lars Hedegaard is President of the Danish Free Press Society, which is devoted to defending freedom of expression — particularly against the threat from radical Islam to extinguish it on the spurious grounds of ‘Islamophobia’.  With no sense of irony, Denmark is trying its damnedest to shut Hedegaard up on precisely those grounds.

The Prosecutor Lies in Wait

by Lars Hedegaard – April 23, 2012

Article 266b, under which I was charged, remains unchanged. Thus, we still have no right to refer to truth if we are indicted under this article.

I am satisfied that the Supreme Court has delivered a verdict in accordance with the evidence given in lower and superior court. The prosecution had this evidence before it decided to press charges so I cannot understand why it went ahead.

The prosecutor has burdened the courts and the taxpayers needlessly for more than two years.

This judgment is not necessarily a victory for free speech. Article 266b, under which I was charged, remains unchanged. It remains a disgrace to any civilised society and is an open invitation to frivolous trials. Thus, we still have no right to refer to truth if we are indicted under this article.

Free Speech Found Guilty by Europe

by Soeren Kern – April 23, 2012

The ruling showed that while Judaism and Christianity can be disparaged with impunity, speaking the truth about Islam is subject to swift and hefty legal penalties. The Supreme Court stressed that the substance of the charges — public criticism of Islam – is still a crime punishable by imprisonment. Under Danish law, it is immaterial whether a statement is true or false. All that is needed for a conviction is for someone to feel offended.

Lars Hedegaard, the president of the Danish Free Press Society, has been acquitted by the Danish Supreme Court on charges of “hate speech” for critical comments he made about Islam.

The verdict, however represents only a partial victory for free speech in a Europe that is being stifled by politically correct restrictions on free speech, particularly on issues related to Islam.

Andrew G. Bostom – April 21, 2012

Intrepid Danish journalist, historian and President of the Free Press Society Lars Hedegaard, has been acquitted unanimously by a panel of seven Supreme Court justices.  led by Chief Justice Børge Dahl. Hedegaard was accused of intentionally denigrating Muslims in breach of Article 266b of the Danish Penal Code, which states,

Whoever publicly or with the intent of public dissemination issues a pronouncement or other communication by which a group of persons are threatened, insulted or denigrated due to their race, skin color, national or ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation is liable to a fine or incarceration for up to two years.

Justice in Denmark: Supreme Court dismisses Lars Hedegaard’s racism and hate speech conviction

20 April 2012 – Jerry Gordon

There is sweet justice in Denmark. We received news that the Danish Supreme Court acquitted Lars Hedegaard, President of the Danish Free Press Society of Prosecutor charges of ‘racism’ and “hate speech under Article 266b of the penal code that were upheld in a conviction and fine by the Eastern Superior Court in May 2011.  The headline of the Supreme Court  press release was “Dismiss the case on insulting and degrading statements about Muslims “  This is a major victory for free speech in Denmark and the EU.  This legal victory in Denmark should also be welcome news to the Hon. Geert Wilders in The Netherlands and hopefully useful news for Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in her legal proceedings in Austria. The opinion of the seven justices convened by the Danish Supreme Court was posted on the website of the Danish Supreme Court. Hedegaard indicated that he will have an English translation for us later today along with observations about the decision. As we can appreciate it he has been swamped with congratulatory phone calls and interviews by the Danish press. In our last post on  Hedegaard’s Supreme Court case heard last Friday, we noted:

Venstreekstremisten, Andreas Ias er en af dem, der giver Danmark et dårligt ry i udlandet. En dansker, der støtter islamister. En israelsk soldat gav Ias en på lampen, efter at de bevæbnede aktivister havde angrebet israelerne med stokke. Aktivisterne brækkede hånden på den israelske soldat, der slog igen. Og gerningsmanden var Andreas Ias. Der er åbenbart mere i den historie end man umiddelbart skulle tro. Soldaten Eisner siger i følge The Globe and Mail:

“We know the history of these anarchists,” he said. “They came with sticks and broke my hand, but no one will tell or film that.”

Den israelske soldat har masser af opbakning. Fra Sky News:

More than 80 Israeli soldiers and reservists have signed a petition of support for a military commander who was filmed assaulting a Danish pro-Palestinian activist.

Sympathy for the Leftist Devil

April 18, 2012 – by David P. Goldman

Israel’s minor annoyance over an influx of pro-Palestinian activists in the so-called flotilla rates a great deal more attention than it deserves from the liberal media, for example, this tongue-clicking, finger-wagging item from the New York Times’ “The Lede” blog. It used to be that the body of a dead Palestinian kid (almost certain shot by Palestinians in crossfire) was the poster for Palestinian activism. All the flotilla folks have is a video of an Israeli officer bonking a blond boy in the face with his rifle; the boy falls, gets up, and walks away with a hurt look. “Israeli soldiers brutally attack Palestinian activists,” reads the super-imposed title on the video.

It can’t be good to be a pro-Palestinian activist these days. No one has time to worry about the Palestinians. Bashar al-Assad continues to slaughter his own people — nearly 10,000 over the past year — and the Muslim Brotherhood leaders of the Syrian opposition undoubtedly would slaughter Assad’s Alawite coreligionists were they to take power. There are at least 2,000 dead and 22,000 injured in little Yemen during the past two years. All of this pales next to what is likely to come in Egypt, as the military and the Islamists fight for power.

Witness for the Defense?

by Bruce Bawer on Apr 16th, 2012

Bruce Bawer PhotoIn 2009, the Danish writer and historian Lars Hedegaard, who is the founder and president of the Danish Free Press Society, made remarks in his home about the treatment of women in Muslim communities.  His observations, while expressed in broad generalizations, were based in fact, although when they were made public and resulted in widespread criticism he apologized for the way he had expressed himself.  This was not good enough for the Danish courts.  He was charged with violating Denmark’s racism law, and went to trial in January 2011.  He was acquitted, but was tried again on the same charges three months later.  This time he was found guilty.  Last Friday Hedegaard initiated an appeal of his conviction before the Danish Supreme Court.

Not so many years ago, such a story would have been regarded as nothing less than sensational: a writer is put on trial in a Western country for making critical remarks about a certain religion’s ideology and practices.  The unsettling truth is that the more often the sensational happens, the less and less sensational it becomes.  In recent years, the Western world has grown used to seeing writers hauled before official tribunals – Mark Steyn in Canada, Oriana Fallaci in Italy, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria – invariably for criticizing Islam.  It doesn’t help that the mainstream media, with very few exceptions, almost always report on these actions as if they were anything but sensational: they’re treated as ordinary, reasonable, and legitimate judicial proceedings.

A Pivotal Week for Norway’s Resident Jihadist

Posted by Bruce Bawer on Apr 2nd, 2012

When we last left Mullah Krekar, Norway’s top-seeded resident jihadist, author, and Dancing with the Stars contestant (OK, I made that last one up, but not too long ago it would’ve been entirely conceivable), he was reportedly packing up his old kit bag and preparing to move back to his native Iraq.  His intention, he announced, was to give courses in how to strap explosives to your kid – sorry, I mean, in Islamic theology.

Well, as it turns out, rather amazingly, the Norwegian judiciary has upset Krekar’s plans.

Here’s the story.  Back in June 2010, Krekar – who at the time was facing possible expulsion to Iraq, where he insisted he was in danger of execution –issued the following warning: “My death will cost Norwegian society.  If, for example, Erna Solberg tossing me out of the country leads to my death, she will suffer the same fate.”  Solberg is head of the Norwegian Conservative Party.

The Death of Free Speech in Sweden

Posted by Bruce Bawer on Mar 22nd, 2012

Earlier this month, under the headline “Words are not innocent,” the Swedish newspaper Dagbladet ran an opinion piece by its cultural editor, Kaj Schueler, which was, essentially, an attack on Sweden’s newly minted Free Press Society.  It was one of several such attacks directed at the organization in recent weeks by members of Sweden’s mainstream media, all of which made essentially the same arguments as Schueler – who, early in his article, summed up his position as follows: “According to the Free Press Society, we no longer have real freedom of speech in Sweden.  They are wrong – we have it.  But since words are not innocent, there are limits to free speech.”

U.K. Thought Police Send Man to Prison

Posted by Bruce Bawer on Mar 14th, 2012

A few days ago I did some reflecting here on the steady rise of sharia in Britain, as exemplified by the BBC’s frank admission of its unwillingness to mock Islam, the harassment of an air passenger for an innocuous remark about hijab, and the see-no-evil response of a BBC reporter to mass displays of pro-sharia aggression in Luton.

Alas, the evidence of Britain’s decline and fall in the face of Islam just keeps on coming.  This week’s case in point is that of Darren Conway, who on March 6 was sentenced to a year in prison for posting anti-Islamic materials in the window of his ground-floor apartment in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.  As the BBC puts it, he was “convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offence for putting anti-Islamic literature in his window.”

Au Revoir Les Enfants

Posted by Bruce Bawer on Mar 26th, 2012

After last week’s killing of three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school in Toulouse, early reports suggested that the murderer was a white, right-wing racist who was targeting minorities.  Indeed, one could be excused for getting the impression, from those first accounts, that the authorities and the media wanted him to be a white, right-wing racist – a lone maniac like the guy who mowed down dozens of teenagers in Norway last July.  Yet the Toulouse terrorist turned out, like so many perpetrators of unspeakable European atrocities in recent years, to be an Islamic jihadist – a self-declared Mujahideen and member of al-Qaeda who said he was out to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children and the military involvement of France in the Islamic world, and who, if a van had not blocked the path of his scooter, might have succeeded in executing as many young people as Anders Behring Breivik did on the island of Utøya.

Remembering Mike Wallace

by Bruce Bawer on Apr 13th, 2012

Channel surfing the other night, I ran across All the President’s Men for what felt like the thousandth time.  I came in about twenty minutes before the end, and – not for the first time – I felt compelled to watch it to the end.  What a splendidly written, brilliantly directed, terrifically acted movie!  What a stirring story!  What a beautiful piece of filmmaking, from the cinematography to the lighting design!  And what a crock!

All the President’s Men converted a generation of innocent, impressionable, pre-Internet Americans – myself included – into unthinking fans of the mainstream news media.  Some people in the government might be out to screw us over, and certainly every last man and woman in corporate America was up to no good, but the knights in shining armor at the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the network news divisions were there to come to our rescue – to save our freedoms and preserve our Constitution, wielding the truth like a shining sword.

Særdeles interessant artikel af Jette Plesner Dali:

Islamofobi, racisme og 266b

Jette Plesner DaliI morgen den 13. april tager hele syv dommere ved Højesteret stilling til, hvorvidt der efter deres mening var tale om forsæt, da Trykkefrihedsselskabets formand, Lars Hedegaard fremsatte sin udtalelse om, at nogle muslimske mænd voldtager familiens pigebørn.

Karoly Németh, Hedegaards advokat forventer, at der afsiges dom efter kl. 12.00.

I dagbladet Politiken kunne man allerede 3. marts under overskriften “Hedegaard- og Pittelkow-tiden er slut” læse følgende udtalelse fra Mona Sheikh: “Debatten om islam og muslimer er forsvundet … Integrationsdebatten har i lange træk været styret af fremmedfrygt og islamofobi … Det faktum, at DF ikke længere er tungen på vægtskålen, at den nye regering har nedlagt Integrationsministeriet, og at man nu forsøger at forklare integrationsproblemer – som jo stadig findes – som sociale problemer, har bestemt været med til at sætte en ny diskurs.”

Hæderværdige Højesteret

Min forsvarer har fremdraget de juridiske argumenter, der taler for, at jeg skal frifindes, og dem skal jeg ikke yderligere kommentere.

Jeg kan dog ikke tilbageholde en stille undren over, at nogen kan påstå, at det skulle have været min hensigt at beskylde samtlige muslimske fædre verden over for at misbruge deres børn – ganske særligt i lyset af, at jeg omhyggeligt har forklaret, at det naturligvis ikke er min opfattelse, og at jeg ikke har haft forsæt til at udbrede sådanne absurde påstande.

Felix Strüning – 3. April 2012

CT-Interview with Lars Hedegaard on Mohammed cartoons, Denmark as a role model and one Million Euros

As a small country, Denmark is not very influential within the European Union. But ever since then there appeared the Mohammed cartoons, the country became the focus of international attention. Citizen Times Editor in Chief Felix Strüning spoke with the Dane Lars Hedegaard, president of the International Free Press Society, on developments in his country, the chances of a peaceful solution to the problem of Islam and what he would do with one million Euros.

Logo Citizen Times

Citizen Times: Mr. Hedegaard, six years ago, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published the famous twelve Mohammed cartoons. Kurt Westergaard, one of the artists, still needs police protection. So, how is the mood in the Danish population right now?

Lars Hedegaard: There are some indications that parts of the public are getting tired and would dearly like to return to a state of “normality”. In early March the leading PC-paper Politiken even claimed that the debate over Islam and immigration is over – which is exactly what the paper would like to happen.

Round Three in the Trial of Lars Hedegaard

An interview with the Danish free speech advocate, who again goes on trial for insulting Islam.

by Ann Snyder – April 8, 2012

In Denmark, sticks and stones may break your bones, but insulting words will get you fined — to the tune of 5,000 kroner (or about $1,000). Article 266(b) of the Danish penal code, one of the more sweeping of the “hate speech” provisions, criminalizes, among other things, merely insulting groups of people due to their membership in enumerated protected classes.

On April 13, 2012, Lars Hedegaard — a journalist, historian, and president of the Danish Free Press Society – takes the appeal of his conviction under Article 266(b) to the Danish Supreme Court. Readers may recall that back in January of 2011, Hedegaard was tried and acquitted for remarks he made during a 2009 interview concerning sexual abuse within Muslim communities. (In a related story, Danish MP Jesper Langballe “confessed,” pleading guilty to violating Article 266(b) for remarks he made in support of Hedegaard.) But, in a strange twist, Hedegaard’s acquittal was appealed. He was retried on April 26, 2011, and convicted on May 3.

The Free Press Societies: Interview with Swedish Chairman Ingrid Carlqvist and International Chairman Lars Hedegaard

by Nicolai Sennels on February 6, 2012

The Swedish Free Press Society, Tryckfrihetssällskapet, was launched on January 31, 2012. The Swedish press is known for notoriously hiding facts and consequences concerning Islam, immigration and Muslim criminals (example: Swedish specialty: Pink pixellation of dark-skinned criminals and pixellated anonymization of wanted criminals).

People who want to meet to talk about such topics need severe police protection (Sweden: Launching the Swedish Free Press Society under police protection).

I have interviewed Lars Hedegaard, initiator and chairman of both the Free Press Society in Denmark and the International Free Press Society, and Ingrid Carlqvist, initiator of the new Swedish branch.

Paul Berman – March 14, 2012

Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes Are Choking Freedom Worldwide By Paul Marshall and Nina Shea (Oxford University Press, 448 pp., $35)

Logo The New Republic SmallI. In spite of its slightly agitated title, this book is mostly a cool and even-tempered human rights report, and its findings go a long way toward explaining one of the mysteries of our time, namely, the ever-expanding success of political movements with overtly Islamic doctrines and radical programs.

Some people may suppose that Islam itself, the ancient religion, mandates theocracy. Seen in this light, the vigor of theocratically tinged political movements right now ought to seem normal to us, and maybe even commendable—a fitting renaissance of cultural authenticity in places around the world that, having left behind the indignities of colonial domination and the awkwardness of the post-colonial era, have entered at last into the post-post-colonial age of the return to self. Movements that carry such labels as “Islamism” or “radical Islam” or “political Islam,” judged in this way, could perfectly well drop their suffixes and adjectives and simply adopt the name of Islam itself—an Islam that has exited the mosque in order to fulfill still more sacred obligations in the public square. But Paul Marshall and Nina Shea take a different view. And in order to confer an august authority upon their contrary estimation, they have padded their human-rights report, or perhaps armored it, with learned commentaries by three Islamic scholars, two of whom are recently deceased but all of whom are distinguished.

Time to Get Out of Afghanistan

March 19, 2012 – By Robert Spencer

The Afghan mission is imploding, and the Obama administration is covering for Islamic jihadists.  Last week, Marine officials revealed that a Marine killed on February 1 in what the Pentagon called “combat operations” at the time was actually murdered by a jihadist in the Afghan army.  The cover-up of this latest jihad attack from a supposed ally is emblematic of a failed mission.  It is long past time to end the  mission in Afghanistan.

Hamid Karzai has said that he wants Afghan forces to take control of the nation’s security in 2013, not 2014 as American officials are planning.  Karzai is a scoundrel, but he is right about this, albeit for the wrong reasons.  This mission is foredoomed.  There is no clearly defined goal, and in any case, any goal worth reaching is impossible to achieve.  There is no bringing democracy or humane values to a sharia state, and in any case, we already gave the Karzai regime a sharia constitution, so we aren’t really even trying to do anything effective for women or non-Muslims or the freedom of speech or the freedom of conscience.  We’re fighting against an enemy that the vice president of the United States says is not an enemy, and that our client president of Afghanistan threatens to join.  How long is this madness going to continue?

Egypt Designates Israel Its Top Enemy — Obama Restores Military Aid

by Robert Spencer on Mar 21st, 2012

Egypt’s parliament, which is dominated by two pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists, voted unanimously last Monday to expel Israel’s ambassador to Egypt, and signaled that the Camp David Accords would soon be a thing of the past: Egypt, the parliamentarians declared, would “never” be Israel’s ally. In fact, Israel was Egypt’s “number one enemy.” And how did Barack Obama respond to this egregious trampling upon the agreement that has kept an uneasy peace between Israel and Egypt for thirty years? By announcing a resumption of military aid to Egypt.

From the beginning of the “Arab Spring,” I said repeatedly that it was not a democracy movement, as the Western press was claiming, but an Islamic supremacist takeover that would result in the creation of Sharia states that would be far more hostile to the U.S. and Israel than the Arab nationalist regimes they were supplanting. This assessment was greeted with the usual scorn: the Islamic supremacist media machine charged “Islamophobia,” on Fox Juan Williams said I was “fearmongering,” and the usual suspects made the usual ad hominem attacks. Yet everything that has happened since then has shown that the “Arab Spring” is indeed an Islamic supremacist winter, ushering in repressive Sharia regimes with the enthusiastic blessing of Barack Obama.

Sex, Jihad and Islam

By Robert Spencer – March 19, 2012

They hate us because we’re pigs. No, not the apes and pigs into which Allah transforms the Sabbath-breaking Jews in the Qur’an (2:62-66; 5:59-60; 7:166), but pigs as in…dogs. Wolves. Immoral, lecherous, lustful, fornicating creeps. Western immorality is a frequent feature of the Islamic critique of the contemporary West, as well as a target for the morality police of Sharia states. In the summer of 2009 Iranian authorities even published a list of hairstyles that were acceptably moral and Islamic, as opposed to “decadent” Western imports, among which were the ponytail and the mullet.

That same Western decadence is also a frequent preoccupation of Islamic jihadists. In December 2010, a Muslim named Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly set off explosives on a street in Stockholm that was crowded with Christmas shoppers, killing himself and injuring two others. His wife, who was herself later arrested for helping plan the attack, explained that Abdulwahab “disliked the decadent side of society here.”

Even some non-Muslim writers echo this critique. Dinesh D’Souza argued in his 2007 farrago The Enemy At Home that Islamic jihadists were largely motivated by rage at the West’s “social and moral corruption,” and asserted that “the Muslims who hate us the most are the ones who have encountered Western decadence, either in the West or in their own countries.”
