#myjihad in Denmark: "Denmark Unsafe for Jews"

"Op-Ed: EXPOSÉ: Something is Rotten in a Denmark Unsafe for Jews" March 08, 2013, INN

It’s just as unsafe in 2013 to be a Jew in Copenhagen as it is to be a Jew in an Arab country. In 2001, a poster in Arabic was pinned up on the notice board at a Copenhagen college. It promised a reward of $35,000 to anybody who would kill a Jew.

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet there is a line that has become famous: “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”.

Denmark, the first Scandinavian country to permit Jews to settle in the 17th century and still one of the world’s most attractive nations for immigrants and tourists alike, has become a very dangerous place for the Jews. Denmark, which was considered a positive exception in the history of the Holocaust, today is a bit of an exception once again, in Europe’s post-Holocaust anti-Semitism.

It’s just as unsafe in 2013 to be a Jew in Copenhagen as it is to be a Jew in an Arab country.

The Danish Jewish community documented 40 anti-Semitic incidents in 2012, almost double the number in 2009. An exodus of Danish Jews has already begun. They are moving to countries where Jews can live in comparative safety, such as Israel and the United States.

The orgy of hatred began in 2001, when an anonymous poster in Arabic was pinned up on the notice board at the Niels Brock College in Copenhagen. It promised a reward of $35,000 to anybody who would kill a Jew.

Today there is a network of “no-go zones” in suburbs of Copenhagen and other Danish cities that are now autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic groups. Areas where Danish police fear to tread. It has become acceptable that in one of Europe’s great capitals someone wearing a Star of David cannot walk safely in the streets or in the shopping malls.

Barbed-wire and security guards are a regular part of Jewish children’s’ school day in Denmark. The entrance of the Caroline Jewish Skole in Copenhagen’s Østerbro district is surrounded by a 2.5 meter-high barbed-wire fence, while the Humlehave School in Odense, the birth place of Hans Christian Andersen, admitted it would refuse Jewish parents’ wish to place their child at his school. It is too dangerous.

Denmark: Integration minister pulls out of anti-radicalization conference, refuses to appear with radical Muslim scholar

Islamophobia gone wild.

One of the keynote speakers at an anti-radicalization conference is ...... radical. These intellectual acrobatics defy even the most creative of fantasists and delusionists. When you sanction sharia, when you sanction jihad, this is inevitable.

As for the minister missing the conference ...... it's just one less dawah (proselytizing) session.

"Integration minister says she will not share stage with a controversial Muslim scholar that helped create Pakistan's anti-blasphemy laws" Copenhagen Post, September 6, 2012 (thanks to David)

The minister for integration and social affairs, Karen Hækkerup (Socialdemokraterne), has pulled out of a conference on religious radicalism next week after she discovered that one of the speakers helped fashion Pakistan’s highly controversial anti-blasphemy laws.

The conference’s organisers, the Danish Ethnic Youth Council, had invited the scholar Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri, leader of the Muslim organisation Minhaj-ul-Quran, to speak on tackling religious radicalisation. The head of the domestic intelligence agency PET, Jakob Scharf, was also invited.

While ul-Qadri is best known for declaring a fatwa, or religious ruling, against terrorism, he also worked as a legal adviser to the Pakistani government in the shaping of anti-blasphemy laws that were recently used to arrest a mentally-challenged girl for allegedly burning the Koran.

This morning, Hækkerup announced that had she would not have agreed to speak at the Conference for Political and Religious Radicalism, which is being held at Copenhagen Business School on September 11, if she had known that ul-Qadri was also planning on attending.

“I am very angry at being connected with something that is so contrary to my views,” Hækkerup told Ritzau. “Politically, I see no reason to take part in the debate. I think it is deplorable that he is coming.”

On the conference's event page, the Danish Ethnic Youth Council confirmed that Hækkerup had cancelled.

"Threatening Intifada in Denmark" Astute Blogger

Last night a guest at a post-Ramadan EID party in Odense was welcomed with gunfire and knives.  The victim, who some sources say was a member of AK81, was rushed to the local emergency room to treat wounds that included gunshot injuries from two pistols.  

A mob of 60 to 80 men invaded the emergency room, forcing medical staff to flee and policemen to draw their weapons.  

They did not succeed in liquidating their prey but they did do extensive damage to a police care and the medical facilities.  6 people were arrested.  

A representative for the Community of Assailants has warned the Danish Authorities that those detained must be released by 6pm or else...

Will they be burning cars tonight in Vollsmose?   Stay Tuned...

Update: Thanks to Fröken:

Police: "The Situation is tense" - We have increased preparedness in the area and patrolling deterrent to ensure that things do not evolve. And we will continue as long as necessary. Exactly how many men we have out there, I will not tell, because we dont tell that in such cases, he says.

"Moderate" Indonesia: Men jailed for Mohammed cartoons on Facebook

And now from the land of unicorns, moonbeams and moderate Islam and, let us not forget, Obama 's childhood stomping ground. He was raised there. Is it any wonder he considers the Muslim call to prayer the prettiest sound he's ever heard? Awwww.

Obama say, "respect it!"

Indonesian jailed for Prophet Mohammed cartoons Bangkok Post

An Indonesian man arrested after writing "God doesn't exist" on his Facebook page was jailed for 30 months Thursday for sharing explicit material about the Prophet Mohammed online.

Thirty year old Indonesian, Alexander Aan waits in the jail holding area during his verdict at the Muaro Sijunjung district court in West Sumatra. Aan, who wrote "God doesn't exist" on his Facebook page, was jailed for 30 months for sharing explicit material about the Prophet Mohammed online.

Alexander Aan, 30, was found guilty of "deliberately spreading information inciting religious hatred and animosity", presiding judge Eka Prasetya Budi Dharma told the Muaro Sijunjung district court in western Sumatra.

Aan started an atheist group on Facebook on which he shared comic strips of the prophet having sex with his servant, Dharma said.

He also uploaded three articles on his account, including one describing the prophet being attracted to his daughter-in-law.

"Under the Electronic Information and Transactions law, we sentence him to prison for a length of two years and six months," Dharma said.

"What he did has caused anxiety to the community and tarnished Islam."

Aan was beaten by an angry mob and arrested by police in his hometown of Pulau Punjung in western Sumatra in January after posting the material online and declaring himself an atheist.

The court had earlier indicted Aan with two other charges -- persuading others to embrace atheism and blasphemy -- and prosecutors had sought a three-and-a-half-year jail term for him.

But the court convicted him of the most serious charge and dropped the other two.

Aan's arrest sparked outrage among Indonesians and international activists, who showed their support on his Facebook group and circulated petitions to have his charges dropped.

Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority nation, guarantees freedom of religion in its constitution and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, but only recognises six faiths: Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Protestantism and Confucianism.

Its courts have in recent years given light sentences to perpetrators of violent attacks on Christians and Islamic minority Ahmadis, some of which have been fatal.

"Zionist Jews Behind Danish Cartoon Scandal"

Race-baiter and rabid Islamic supremacist Abdel Malik Ali speaks on behalf of the Muslim Student's Union of Long Beach State, and declares that the Zionists did it. No shame. He spreads lies and falsehoods, and he claims he is the victim....

The vicious Jew-hater Abdel Malik Ali speaks a lot, particularly at college campuses. He is brought in by Muslim Brotherhood groups like the Muslim Students Association and the Muslim Student Union.

• Rabidly anti-Israel, anti-Semitic public speaker
• Lectures frequently on college campuses and at Muslim Student Association events
• Supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah

Amir-Abdel Malik-Ali (also known as Abdul Malik Ali and Abd Al-Malik) is a black Imam associated with the Masjid Al Islam mosque in Oakland. A graduate of San Francisco State University and a former Nation of Islam member, he is a frequent guest lecturer at Muslim Student Union and Muslim Students Association events. A passionate supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, he helped organize a July 1999 rally in San Francisco at which Imam Abdul-Alim Musa proudly displayed a cashier’s check made out to “Hamas, Palestine.” Malik-Ali endorses suicide bombings as a legitimate “resistance” tactic: “Palestinian mothers are supporting their children who are suicide bombers, saying, ‘Go honey, go!’ That ain’t suicide; that’s martyrdom.” (DTN)

Reza Aslan, Abdel Malik Ali, Hussein and other Jew-haters speak freely at universities spreading nazi-like propaganda. They speak without protest.

Defenders of freedom like myself, Robert Spencer, Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan are rarely heard on college campuses, and on the rare occasion that we are, Muslims and leftists shut down the event.

Vile annihilationists.

Popular German Magazine, Der Spiegel, in security lockdown after Muslims issue call for attack

The media refers to those standing for freedom of speech as "far right." Really? Has freedom of speech and freedom of conscience become the cause of only the "far right?"

The enemedia describes the attacks by Muslims on a free speech demo as "street clashes between." No, it was not. Muslims attacked the rally attendees and stabbed policemen as well. When Muslims attack and hack Christians and non-Muslims in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, etc., to death, it is also described as "clashes." No, this is the enemedia framing their lie. It is jihad. It is holy war in the cause of Islam.

The media calls these devout Muslims "salafists"  and "conservative." Conservative? What nerve. Word thieves.

Security beefed up at German magazine after threat STL Today

German officials say they've taken security measures at a popular German magazine and for members of a small far-right party after a known terrorist called for them to be attacked in a video online.

The video surfaced May 18 on YouTube following street clashes between an ultraconservative Muslim group and the far-right Pro NRW party in Bonn. The Salafist protesters were upset by Pro NRW signs showing unfavorable cartoons depicting Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

In it, Bonn-born Yassin Chouka, who is believed to be with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, calls for Muslims to kill Pro NRW members.
He also calls for the murder of Der Spiegel employees for printing pictures showing the cartoons.

Security officials said Tuesday they worry the message could inspire lone-wolf attacks.

It's not lone wolf -- it's the global jihad.

At a free speech rally in Germany, Muslims attack police, so enraged were they by the presence of the Danish cartoons. The dhimmedia calls it a far right rally, whatever that means.

Salafist Muslims Attack Police at Rally Spiegel (hat tip Sophie)

Police restrain a Salafist protestor in the German town of Solingen on May 1.

A group of radical Muslims attacked police in the German city of Solingen on Tuesday during a far-right demonstration, injuring four. They were provoked by the anti-Islamic Pro NRW party, which displayed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Officials had warned that the publicity stunt could spark violence.

Radical Islamists attacked police in the western German city of Solingen on Tuesday in protest of a far-right demonstration where anti-Islamic cartoons had been put on display.

Some 30 Salafists were arrested after injuring three police officers and a passerby by throwing stones and wielding poles from protest banners, police said. Pro NRW, categorized as an extremist right-wing group by Germany's domestic intelligence agency, had staged a demonstration near a Salafist mosque in Solingen.

The violence erupted when Pro NRW demonstrators showed controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad drawn by Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. One of his drawings was among a series of cartoons published by Danish newspapers in 2005 that led to worldwide protests by Muslims, who were offended by the pictures. Many Muslims believe that visual depictions of Muhammad should be prohibited.

"Several Salafists wearing turbans suddenly jumped over the cordon and threw stones at police officers and also hit them with flagpoles," police spokeswoman Anja Meis said.

Pro NRW has said it will run a "Muhammad cartoon contest" and put the cartoons on display outside 25 mosques in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The move, a campaign stunt aimed at generating publicity ahead of an election in the state on May 13, has been widely criticized.

German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich warned last weekthat the cartoon contest and the demonstrations near mosques could lead to violent clashes and also endanger German embassies and companies abroad.

So what is Friedrich suggesting? That you reward Islamic violence by suppressing and restricting free speech?

Security authorities have voiced concerns that radical Salafists may see the provocation as an opportunity to seek confrontation in order to boost their own profile. Salafists have recently been in the news with a controversial campaign to distribute free copies of the Koran in German cities.

Danes Arrest 3 Muslims Suspected of plotting jihad

"A 21-year old Danish citizen who lives in Egypt and two Copenhagen residents -- a 22-year-old Jordanian and a 23-year-old Turk -- were picked up from two locations in Copenhagen and charged with illegal possession of automatic weapons. "

Here again we find the media identifying the terrorists by nationality. Geography has as much to do with it it as the color of their pants. It is ideology.  They are Muslims plotting jihad. Period.

Danes Arrest 3 Men Suspected of 'Preparing Terrorist Act' ABC News

Danish intelligence officials arrested three men in their twenties suspected of "having been in the process of preparing a terrorist act," according to a statement from PET, the country's Security and Intelligence Service.

A 21-year old Danish citizen who lives in Egypt and two Copenhagen residents -- a 22-year-old Jordanian and a 23-year-old Turk -- were picked up from two locations in Copenhagen and charged with illegal possession of automatic weapons.

Intelligence officials also searched several locations after the arrests, but a spokesman for Copenhagen police declined to provide any additional information. The three are scheduled to appear in court tomorrow morning.

"The investigation will establish whether possible terror threats have been addressed and averted by the arrests," PET said in the statement.

Denmark has faced terror threats before, mostly linked to the publishing of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005.

Admitted American terrorist David Headley told a U.S. court that in addition to helping a Pakistani militant group plan the 2008 Mumbai massacre, he also scouted Jyllands-Posten's offices in Copenhagen for the possibility of an attack.

In May, a Chechen-born man was sentenced to 12 years in prison in Copenhagen for preparing a letter bomb believed to have been intended for the newspaper. In addition, four Swedish residents are currently on trial in Denmark for plotting a shooting spree on the newspaper.

Danish officials refused to disclose the target of those arrested today, or how close they came to executing an attack.

Four Muslims plead not guilty to plot to massacre Danish newspaper staff over Moe cartoons

Prosecutors say four Muslims were plotting to "kill a large number of people" at the Jyllands-Posten daily's offices in Copenhagen. They pleaded not guilty ... because according to Islamic law, they aren't guilty, doncha know?

Four plead not guilty to plot to massacre Danish newspaper staff over Mohammad cartoons NY Post

COPENHAGEN -- Four men pleaded not guilty Friday as they went on trial in Denmark over a suspected plot to massacre the staff of a newspaper that first published controversial cartoons of the Prophet [sic]  Mohammad.

Sahbi Ben Mohamed Zalouti, Munir Awad and Omar Abdalla Aboelazm -- all Swedish citizens of Tunisian, Lebanese and Moroccan origin, respectively -- along with a Tunisian national living in Sweden, Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, face charges of "attempted terrorism."

Prosecutors say the four were plotting to "kill a large number of people" at the Jyllands-Posten daily's offices in Copenhagen when they were arrested Dec. 29, 2010.

Jyllands-Posten published a dozen cartoons in 2005 of the Prophet Muhammad that triggered violent and sometimes deadly protests around the world.

A machine gun with a silencer, a revolver, 108 bullets, rolls of duct tape and $20,000 were among the items found in the men's possession when they were arrested.

Danish police, who collaborated with their Swedish counterparts and wiretapped the men, swooped in just after hearing them say they were "going to" the newspaper office.

One of the two prosecutors, Henrik Plaehn, told the Glostrup district court that a ceremony celebrating Denmark's Sporting Newcomer of the Year at the newspaper was likely the target of the suspected plot. In addition to a number of sports celebrities, Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik was present at the ceremony.

Plaehn also argued that there was evidence the plot had links to Pakistan but said he would provide more details later in the trial, which is set to last until June. At least one of the men is known to have international ties. Awad was arrested twice before while abroad -- once in Somalia and once in Pakistan -- over suspected terrorist links, Sweden's foreign ministry said last year.

Zalouti also previously was arrested in Pakistan for entering the country illegally.

On Friday, the four accused all pleaded not guilty to the terrorism charge, but Dhahri did plead guilty to arms possession.

The prosecution did not yet say what penalty it will seek beyond a request that the four be expelled from Denmark and never allowed to return, after serving their sentences. According to public broadcaster DR, however, they all risked "a historically severe punishment," with up to 14 years behind bars.

Danish ghetto: Muslims Demand $1,800 (jiyza) for being 'black and Christian'

The abuse and humilation of 1,400 years of jizya continues. The status of the dhimmi under Muslim rule is manifest here in the Danish ghetto.

The word "dhimmitude" comes from dhimmi, an Arabic word meaning "protected". Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. Islamic conquests expanded over vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia, for over a millennium (638-1683). The Muslim empire incorporated numerous varied peoples which had their own religion, culture, language and civilization. For centuries, these indigenous, pre-Islamic peoples constituted the great majority of the population of the Islamic lands. Although these populations differed, they were ruled by the same type of laws, based on the shari'a.

Danish ghetto: pay 1,800 dollars for being 'black and Christian' Jihadwatch

Two journalists spent four months doing research in the Muslim ghetto of Mjølnerparken in Copenhagen. What they uncovered is shocking. Translated from the Danish, Weekendavisen, March 1: "On the other side of the fence" (not online):

This past year there have been several disturbing incidents in the neighborhood of outer Nørrebro. In October, a refugee from Africa had his door kicked in several times and was threatened by a group of youths who accused him of being both black and Christian.

He was given a deadline of less than a week to pay them 10,000 kroner (1,800 USD) if he wanted to live in the area. Police told him that they could no longer guarantee his safety in Mjølnerparken. When Lejerbo (the company renting out apartments in the area) found him, he was crying and had slept on the street.

In October, an Arab man contacted the housing company (Lejerbo) after being threatened with both a knife and a gun. His wife did not dare to leave the apartment, because the young people in the area did not like the fact that she does not wear a headscarf.

The caretaker working in Mjølnerparken whom Weekendavisen meets in a trailer shakes his head as he tells about an incident with an ambulance that went badly wrong. While the ambulance was parked in front of the doorway, and rescuers were up in the apartment, a group of boys came and stole everything from the vehicle - even the heart starter.

Muslims attack Hare Krishna temple in Denmark Europe News

Uriasposten December 15 2011

The Hare Krishna temple in Western Copenhagen was recently assaulted by a group of young Muslims, throwing stones and breaking windows. To diminish the risk of confrontations with the Muslim-dominated neighbourhood, the devotees of the temple are from now on requested to not wear their characteristic clothes outside the temple, in order to not provoke similar attacks in the future. Below is the original account of the attacks.

Just as the Jews have been advised not to wear religious symbols or clothing and thereby risk life and limb from Muslim Jew-haters.

Danish police took a report of the assaults.

(Note: Whitespace added for clarity. Original spelling preserved.)

Dear devotees,

On 6.12.,20.45 the temple in Copenhagen was attacked by a group of gundas with obviously Muslim background. First stones were thrown against the front of the residential temple building, then the window in the mathaji asrama got broken.[TK], the temple president, called police instantly. A single police officer arived, took notice of the dammage and left again. Half an hour later a bigger group of the same attackers arived, again throwing stones, entering the garden, braking this time windows in the Tulasi room, all the bottom windows facing the street. Finaly they tried to brake into the house, seeking direct physical conflict.

It didnt took long to find out the possible background of this attack.

(The temple was never exposed to such an incident before).

The same day two devotees, one of them living directly in the temple and the other outside, were biking closeby when they met on the street a car standing with open door. One passed, the other got blocked by the open door and complained. According to the statement of one of them he was directly attacked by the driver with a tool fetched from the car and as the other one came to his rescue, a fist fight started. Devotees sustained minor injuries. Finaly police arived at the scene and took record of the incident.

As the temple is located in a close Muslim neighbourhood, featuring a Muslim school, etc., it is quite possible that these two incidents are related. The police didnt make sofar this connection,but its obvious.

As matter of fact the involvement of the police was minimal sofar, it took them more a half an hour to arive and after the second attack they didnt come at all. If the attackers would manage to brake into the house, somebody could have been kiled as they were armed with baseball clubs and other weapons. As seeing from the window, most of them could have been even less as 18 years old and some of them couldnt even speak proper denish.

It can be only hoped that this incident was an act of momentarily rage and will not spark a long term enmity and chain of attacks from the local Muslim community. To find the leader of the gang and try to communicate with him is hardly possible. We cannot expect any protection from the police and so once again we are fully depending on the mercy of Sri Sri Goura Nitai and Lord Nrsimhadeva.

Your servant [MD]

P.S. Please, if possible, lets help [TKP] as he will have to deal now with further police investigation, the insurance company and the repairs following this attack.

Further on devotees are requested to change possibly their devotee dress after leaving the temple property, as being seen in the vaisnava dress they may provoke in an uncontroled manner attacks from the local Muslims while walkig on the street. Incidents of this nature do happen. Even this one is based on individual improper behaviour of both parties, the driver and the devotees, the final attack was issued against anybody who could be identified as the memmber of the Hare Krsna movement. Lets hope these attacks will not escalate. Sofar nobody got injured, but it was a close call indeed.

Copenhagen: Muslim Verbally Attacks Old Woman on the Train

This is like a microcosm of Islamic supremacism in the West, sans physical violence.

Watch the whole thing, and kudos to the other passengers who came to this poor woman's defense. Notice that sprinkled in this Muslim's obscene and profane attacks he keeps talking about "his rights to say and do anything he wants" but labels any rebuttals  or calls for civility as "discrimination." Yes, humane treatment of non-Muslims is considered "discrimination" under Islamic dhimmitude laws.

Chicago Muslim Found Guilty in Plot to Attack Danish Cartoon Newspaper

Chicago Man Found Guilty in Danish Plot Wall Street Journal (hat tip CG)

CHICAGO—A federal jury found a Pakistani-born Chicago businessman guilty of two terror-related counts, including an aborted plot to attack a Danish newspaper, but found him innocent of helping to plan the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.

In a verdict reached late Thursday, the jury found Tahawwur Rana guilty of providing material support to the plot to attack the Copenhagen newspaper that had printed cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. The plot was never carried out. Mr. Rana, 50 years old, also was found guilty of supporting the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Charles Swift, an attorney for Mr. Rana, said his client was "in shock" after hearing the verdict.

The government's case against Mr. Rana relied on coded emails, secretly taped conversations and the testimony of his longtime friend, David Headley. Mr. Headley pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism-related counts in connection with the Mumbai assault, in which more than 160 people were killed. He also admitted to scouting sites in preparation for the Denmark newspaper attack that never took place.

Mr. Headley spent five days on the witness stand testifying that Mr. Rana supported him in his efforts, partly by letting Mr. Headley use his immigration business as a front while doing reconnaissance.

In exchange for Mr. Headley's cooperation, prosecutors have promised not to seek the death penalty.

Attorneys for Mr. Rana, who pleaded not guilty to all counts, argued that he simply didn't know what his old friend was up to.

The trial has drawn international attention because Mr. Headley testified that the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, of which he was a member, worked with members of Pakistan's main intelligence service. That came amid accusations that elements of Pakistan's military may have helped shelter al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. forces in May in Pakistan.

Muslim who hacked through Motoonist's door with axe calls himself "a Muslim who follows the precepts of Islam and who prays and goes to the mosque"

Ground Zero mosqueteer Daisy the Con said of the this innocuous cartoon:

In 2005 a Danish newspaper published a series of cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad unflatteringly and linked Islam with terrorism. Muslims around the world rioted, and more than 130 people were killed. Khan struggled. “As an artist, I believe in complete freedom of creative expression,” she says. As an American, she believed in freedom of the press. But as the head of a Muslim organization, she agonized about what public position to take. In the end, she decided that publishing the cartoons was wrong. “Freedom of expression comes with social responsibility,” she says, explaining her stance against the cartoons. “There are some things we don’t do. We don’t yell ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater. So is it wise to do what we are doing? Does one have to provoke?”

There is more than a little irony in Khan’s remark, because her argument—that emotional sensitivities are important—is precisely the argument that people have made against the Islamic center.

Denmark: Muslim who hacked through Motoonist's door with axe calls himself "a Muslim who follows the precepts of Islam and who prays and goes to the mosque" Jihadwatch

Kurt Westergaard is an ironic and unfit poster child for the freedom of speech: he has pursued legal action against anti-jihadists who have republished his cartoon of Muhammad, and has never demonstrated any awareness of the larger issues at stake in the attempts to murder him and suppress his cartoon. That does not mean, of course, that Mohamed Geele should not be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and the freedom of speech of Westergaard defended -- in spite of Westergaard himself. And "moderate Muslims" in the West should explain exactly how Geele is misunderstanding the religion that he explicitly invokes as his motivation -- but they won't, of course.

Geele says he didn't intend to kill Westergaard, which makes this a War Is Deceit Update: "Somali attacker 'only aimed to scare Danish cartoonist,'" by Slim Allagui for AFP, January 19 (thanks to Block Ness):

AARHUS, Denmark (AFP) - A Somali man charged with trying to kill a Dane who caricatured the Prophet Mohammed pleaded not guilty to attempted murder on the first day of his trial Wednesday, insisting he had only aimed to scare the cartoonist.

"I was irritated and frustrated by his comments. I wanted to frighten him but not to kill him," Mohamed Geele, 29, told a packed court in the central Danish town of Aarhus, speaking calmly in Danish....

Geele, who is suspected of breaking into 75-year-old Kurt Westergaard's home on January 1 last year wielding an axe and trying to kill him, could face life in prison if found guilty on all counts: attempted terrorism, attempted murder, attacking a police officer and illegal arms possession....

Geele, who Danish intelligence police say is linked to the Somali Islamist movement Al-Shebab, insisted he had "bought the axe to help a friend cut down a tree."

"But I brought it with me to Aarhus because I was very angry with (Westergaard) and wanted to break down his door to talk with him," acknowledged the defendant, who appeared calm and collected before the court, wearing a black sweater, jeans and glasses.

Geele, who had an obvious limp from injuries he sustained during his arrest, stressed that he was "a Muslim who follows the precepts of Islam and who prays and goes to the mosque."

On the night of January 1, 2010, the Somali "broke down the front door with an axe and destroyed the television set and computer in the living room, screaming in Danish that he was going to kill me because I had offended the Muslim prophet," Westergaard told AFP on the eve of the trial.

The cartoonist, who was alone at home at the time with the five-year-old daughter of a friend, rushed into a bathroom that had been fortified and transformed into a panic room to "seek safety and call the police."...

Before Geele took a train and taxi from his home in Copenhagen to Westergaard's house in Viby, near Aarhus, he had "shaved his entire body and his clothes smelled strongly of perfume," the prosecutor said, hinting that the man had performed a "ritual" often carried out by those who want to die as martyrs.

She also said police had found a computer at the Red Cross centre where Geele worked that he had used to conduct research on axes and to locate Westergaard's home.

The cartoonist has faced numerous death threats since the publication of his drawing of the Prophet Mohammed wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse....

Westergaard remains clueless: "Danish Mohammed cartoonist attacker goes on trial," by Slim Allagui for AFP, January 18:

[...] Westergaard, who is scheduled to testify Thursday, said he thought "he will be sentenced to a heavy prison sentence."

"I do not want to excuse his actions, but I would really like to understand how he got to that point. Maybe he was manipulated," the cartoonist suggests, insisting more than five years after his drawing first appeared that it does not represent Mohammed.

"I made a caricature of a terrorist who evokes Islam and who abuses it, as some would say," said Westergaard, who today is closely watched over by bodyguards....

"A terrorist who evokes Islam and who abuses it." Of course. Everyone knows that it's a Religion of Peace. And if you don't say so, they might hack through your front door with an axe.

Denmark's Burning

Societies are disintegrating as adherents of a radical, intolerant ideology run amok with no respect for Western rule of law. There is only one law -- the sharia.

Europe is a looking glass into the future. Via Denmark’s burning | Presseurop – English, hat tip TROP. Via Creeping

“Danish ghettos ravaged by fire,” alerts the Jyllands-Posten. Every week in troubled Danish neighbourhoods, four fires on average burn down kindergartens, trash containers, cars and motor scooters, reports the Danish daily, based on fire department reports in the country’s three biggest cities. According to one sociologist quoted in the paper, these acts are perpetrated by a hard core of ethnic youths who want their neighbourhoods to “take on the image of a dangerous ghetto”. Fewer than 1% of the arsonists are ever apprehended.

Muslim Death Threat for US Cartoonist: Marked for death: “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” Artist Forced to Change identity

Remember "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day?" A relatively unknown cartoonist, Molly Norris, declared "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" in response to the death threats (fatwa) issued against the producers of Comedy Central. Her thinking, rightly, of course, was that if everyone drew Muhammad, the jihadists couldn't kill everyone......... after the fact of the insult won’t work.

But Ms. Norris had no clue what she stepped into. After Norris's brilliant idea went viral online, she became so spooked and worried that she had offended Muslims that she apologized for it and divorced herself from the idea, refraining from participation. That didn't matter, it wasn't long before the "charismatic" imam to the devout Muslim world had placed the Seattle cartoonist on an execution hit list. The ummah reacted to the contest with the same open-mindedness, tolerance and modernity we have come to expect.

Nihad Awad, co-founder of Hamas-linked, unindicted co-conspirator, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR, was whining and deliberately inciting Gd knows what against me on O'Reilly for one of the cartoons I ran on "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day." Watch this.

That's how far down the rabbit hole the shining beacon of freedom has gone: no stick figures or any depictions of Muhammad without putting your life in jeopardy.

And what happened to our little Miss Norris? There is no "Molly Norris" anymore, not in Omerica.

The Washington Post, shill for jihadist and Islamic apologists nonparallel, is reporting:

Report: 'Draw Muhammad' cartoonist changes name, goes into hiding at FBI's insistence

Seattle Weekly announced today that it will no longer run Molly Norris's artwork. The newspaper is also reporting that legally, there is no more "Molly Norris."

Norris -- the Seattle-based illustrator whose cartoon sparked "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day!" earlier this year and a subsequent fatwa against her -- has gone into hiding and changed her name at the guidance of the FBI, reports the Seattle Weekly, which says:

"The gifted artist is alive and well, thankfully. But on the insistence of top security specialists at the FBI, she is, as they put it, 'going ghost': moving, changing her name, and essentially wiping away her identity. She will no longer be publishing cartoons in our paper or in City Arts magazine, where she has been a regular contributor."

Seattle Weekly also says that the artist likens the situation to cancer -- the threat could be benign, it could be more serious and sudden.

Comic Riffs last communicated with Norris in July. Attempts to contact her Wednesday were unsuccessful.

Several months ago, FBI officials alerted Norris to what they were treating as a "very serious threat," according to a report. At that time, Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki said that Norris was a "prime target" for execution and that her "proper abode is hellfire."

Awlaki, a New Mexico-born 39-year-old, has been called arguably the highest-profile English-speaking supporter of violent jihad. He has been linked to the recent Times Square bombing attempt and reportedly inspired Texas's Fort Hood massacre.

Norris drew her "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" cartoon in April in response to Comedy Central's editing of its program "South Park" and the animated show's attempts to depict Muhammad -- and to satirize reactions to any effort to ridicule Muhammad.

On April 25, shortly after Norris created her "anti-censorship" cartoon, Comic Riffs broke the news that Norris was distancing herself from the illustration:

"I made a cartoon that went viral but [this campaign] isn't really my thing," Norris told Comic Riffs. "Other folks have taken it over."

Several months ago, Norris's April YouTube video of her explanation for the cartoon was "removed by the user." In that video, Norris apologized to "everyone of the Muslim faith who has or will be offended" by her cartoon and supported calling off "Everyone Draw Mohammed Day," which was staged May 20. She also urged America's Muslims and non-Muslims to come together -- to meet "halfway."
