Five years ago, Valentine's Day was marked in Denmark by murder - not a lot of murder by the standards of similar events before and after, but this one struck close to home: It would be the last time my old comrade Lars Vilks appeared in public. My closing remarks below on the shriveling perimeters of free speech and the popular support it requires have proven sadly true in the half-decade since. Here is some of what I had to say about the events of February 14th 2015:
Today, Valentine's Day, a café in Copenhagen hosted a discussion on "Art, Blasphemy and Freedom of Expression". Islam knows not "freedom of expression", and the inclination of a certain proportion of its adherents is to respond to any "discussion" by opening fire.
Why wouldn't they? As President Selfie told the UN General Assembly, "The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam." The fanatics of Islam take him at his word, and act accordingly.
So at that café this afternoon they came in shooting and yelling "Allahu Akbar!" - which is Arabic for "Can't we all just get along?" Three policemen are wounded and one member of the public - a 40-year-old man - is dead. And, in a small hitherto peaceable Scandinavian kingdom, another little bit of European cultural life and artistic spirit shrivels and dies.

Islam is evil. If it was possible to reform after 14 centuries it would have. Moslem should be pronounced with the same disgust and revulsion felt as when one says Nazi or Communist.
We had our own Valentine massacre when a Bosnian muslim killed 5 people and wounded 4 in Trolley Square mall, Utah, in 2007.
Some of the dead were murdered while buying valentines for loved ones.
The media covered this up by stating the usual his motives may never be known.
A number of muslim countries ban and preach against Valentines day. Whether the mass murdering Bosnian Suleiman was radicalized by such preaching is an issue swept under the carpet of Bushnian PC about the religion of peace.
The reason it can’t have a ‘reformation’ is...you kill the religion if what the Prophet said is wrong. There are some Muslims & Muslim apologists who say it can reform, but it’s impossible. The Catholic reformation wasn’t about what Jesus said, it was about the behavior of the church.
Islam should simply be outlawed as a murderous political philosophy. That’s what it is. Even if you want to call it a religion, a religion that calls for murder cannot be allowed. If someone decided to resurrect the Aztec religion & have human sacrifices, it would be outlawed immediately & its adherents jailed.
We have to be honest about what Islam is & what it requires of its adherents.
More than 1400 years after Christianity began:
“Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517”
And that is the core of the problem. If you dare, ask any Muslim you know: "Do you believe in the Koran's statement that it's your duty to kill infidels?" The answer may not be what you had hoped.
Agree wholeheartedly with your comment and your tag line!
Brought to you by Lucifer.
And your point?
I actually dont like this talk of reform like Christianity as if they are anything alike.
Christianity has at its heart, NEVER been the beastly evil that Islam is. Faulty men did wrong things and sometimes even beastly things, and sometimes even in the name of the faith, but seriously, it is nothing like Islam and its inherent cruelty.
You wish.
The only revulsion ever allowed is for NAZI/fascist.
Liberals so rule that now, communists are starting to come out of the closet happily along with their homo brethren (useful idiots). Libs NEVER hated communists, and now feel safe enough to declare so.
Never mind they love protecting Moslems, as for them all of the other are pure and innocent.
And they happily welcome their muzzie overlords.
How I despised and still despise obozo.
