The War on Free Speech, Day In, Day Out ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 14 Feb 2015 | Mark Steyn

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.

As much as I loathe these fanatics, I despise even more Obama and the European political elite that gives them succor and trades our liberties to appease madmen. They have seeded a cancer in the heart of the west that will consume us all.

My thoughts and prayers are with my Scandinavian friends. I have spent the last week in America listening to the most fatuous and drooling eulogies for a retiring so-called "satirist" who has never in his life told a joke that mattered, who has never once strayed beyond the cozy media-Democrat comfort zone of dreary snarking at those Republican rubes, and even then has to make funny faces to get a laugh. By contrast, Lars Vilks is a true satirist, and is insisting on no more or less, in a darkening Europe, than the right to choose what he laughs about. I know which of these men has genuine courage.

At some point, reality will hit the fanatical crowd as they realize if they are ever in some car accident and require a blood transfusion....they are likely to get unpure blood (Kafir), and they are doomed for the rest of their life.

Islam knows not Freedom! It Never will!

It's very name definition means Submission! It's goal is Subjugation!

Our main enemy, and the one that must be defeated FIRST, is the leftist leadership of the western world.
Until we get THEM out of the way, we continue to lose the battle.

Where Islam spreads, freedom is murdered.

They continue to seed it, fertilize it, and water it.
