The last time I used the headline “Lars Man Standing” was for a National Review post about Lars Hedegaard’s analysis of Europe’s Islamo-leftist alliance. Mr Hedegaard was my host in Copenhagen back in September, when the Danish Free Press Society presented me with its Sappho Award. Yesterday, I returned from a few weeks off the Internet-beaten track to find that he is yet again the Lars man standing – standing in the dock in Fredericksburg, charged with offending Islam. His is merely the latest in a long line of the western world’s new heresy trials – Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria, Geert Wilders and Gregorius Nekschot in the Netherlands, Michel Houllebecq in France, Michael Smith in Australia, Ezra Levant and me in Canada.As in Canada, as in the Netherlands, so in Denmark the defendants in such cases are informed that the truth is no defense. As Lars said in court yesterday:

My counsel has instructed me that in cases brought under Article 266b, the only thing that determines whether one is convicted or not is a matter of the perceived insult whereas one is barred from proving the truth of the statement.

The article deals with public statements whereby a group of people are “threatened, insulted or degraded”. But as my lawyer has already noted, I have made no public statement.

The Danish Member of Parliament Jesper Langballe commented on the Hedegaard case and was himself charged with “racism”. While preparing his defense, he was also told by the court that “defendants in cases brought under Article 266b are denied the right to prove their case”. Mark Steyn.

Der er potentielt strafbare generaliseringer, og så er der rigtig hate speech

Der er en slående ensartet guttural stil der karakteriserer de ubehjælpsomt udformede udbrud af primal vrede som bl. a. Robert Spencer modtager i sin indbakke for sine skriverier om verdens mest letkrænkelige religion (LFPC).

NL: Tørklæders dækningsprocent nu et kriterium

Det er klart at det muslimske segment løber en meget stor risiko for trætte af den hollandske befolkning, når den oplagte provokation som tørklædeindpakningen reelt er skal listes igennem ved pseudoløsninger som denne. Det kan meget vel være at det ender med at værtslandet blinker først og at regulering af dette islamiske signal ender med at blive opgivet, men elsket og respekteret bliver man altså ikke på denne måde (LFPC).

The commission was responding to the case of the Gerrit Rietveld College in the city of Utrecht, where 50 students objected to a new dress code. This only allows Muslim girls to cover their heads as long as 90 percent of the face remains visible. Headgear which covers the chin or eyebrows, for example, is regarded as hindering communication between student and teacher. […] The Equal Treatment Commission has ruled that schools have a say in the way in which students wear headscarves

GZ-imam Adhami – begyndelsen på et langt venskab med amerikanerne?

Meet the new imam, same as the old imam. Imam Rauf er ude af billedet som Ground Zero-projektets ansigt udadtil, og hans afløser har knapt sat sig i hans stol før snavset vælter frem. Er dette ‘forsoning’ efter 9/11? Lydfilen kan høres her. Man kan nok diskutere om han selv erklærer sig for tilhænger af fængselsstraf til frafaldne, eller om dette er 12 minutters mageløs taqiyya og uld-i-mund-snak væk fra det forhold at islam, med belæg i ord tillagt Muhammed selv, altid har dikteret dødsstraf for frafald (LFPC).

Those who leave Islam and preach against the Muslim religion must be jailed, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City.

“If someone leaves the din, leaves the path privately, they cannot be touched. If someone preaches about apostasy, or preaches their views, they’re jailed,” stated Imam Abdallah Adhami in a November lecture obtained and reviewed by WND. […] Ground Zero imam: ‘Apostates against Islam must be jailed’

Camus och samtidens islamistiska terror

Af Thomas Nydahl

Medan FLN utförde bombattentat mot civila – som i Algers caféer – resonerade Albert Camus om hur valet mellan friheten (möjliggjord med terror) och mammans liv skulle se ut. Självklart skulle han välja en levande mamma. En frihet byggd på mördade landsmän är en ofrihet. Algeriets postkoloniala väg har inte heller lett till någon verklig frihet.

Så kan vi återföra resonemanget till vår egen tid. Gårdagens terrorattentat mot flygplatsen i Moskva går självklart att nyktert analysera och förstå. Men till vilken nytta? Vet inte världen vad Kremlbesluten inneburit för Tjetjenien? Har vi inte fakta nog för att förstå att den putinska eran i Ryssland redan orsakat massor med lidande och död? Om en kvinna och en man i sällskap tar sig in i ankomsthallen på en flygplats och där utlöser en mycket kraftig sprängladdning, så innebär inte det att några tjetjenska män och kvinnor blir friare. Däremot leder det till skräck, fruktan, lidande och död för de människor som råkade befinna sig där.

Den islamistiska terrorn blir allt grövre i sin vardagshantering. Terrordåden allt vanligare. Kanske blir det inte fler spektakulära dåd som det i USA 11 september 2001. I så fall får vi se sanningen i vitögat: de grupperingar som tror att de kan mörda sig fram till frihet kommer att intensifiera sin verksamhet. Inte en flygplats, tunnelbana, buss eller tåg världen runt kommer att vara säkert territorium.

Mitt val blir detsamma som Camus: jag vägrar godta att min familj skulle behöva dö för någon annan människas frihet, oavsett var han eller hon lever och verkar eller i vilken kulturell, nationell och religiös tradition det är. Friheten är en och odelbar.
