Heroes of Freedom Died in Copenhagen (Greenfield)
Frontpagemag.com ^ | February 16, 2015 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 02/16/2015 7:12:11 AM PST by Louis Foxwell

February 16, 2015 by Copenhagen

Dan Uzan died at the gate keeping a Muslim terrorist out of the Jewish Hall behind the Great Synagogue of Copenhagen. In the hall, a young girl was coming of age surrounded by eighty guests. They did not hear the gunshots over the music. They did not hear the 6’5 basketball player guarding them die.

The gates of the Great Synagogue are more modest than the Gates of Vienna, where the Ottoman Empire was prevented from overrunning Europe, but Dan held them anyway so that a young girl could survive her birthday. And it may be that the hope of our civilization that prevents the world we know from drowning in bloody severed heads and Allahu Akbars begins with one man holding the gate and refusing to let the savage tide through. If not here, then perhaps in another place and another time.

It was not the first time that the savage tide had touched the Great Synagogue.

Thirty years ago, the synagogue had been bombed by Palestinian Muslim terrorists who had received asylum in Sweden. No one was killed, but seven residents were injured in a nearby Jewish nursing home. The ringleader, Mohammed Abu Talb who had been trained in the USSR, received a life sentence which was later reduced to thirty years, making him eligible for release.

The murder of Dan Uzan was Omar El-Hussein’s final crime, but it was not his first crime.

Finn Nørgaard died at an event on freedom of expression. The bullets cut through the glass wall of the café. The killer shot the filmmaker, who had undergone surgery to fix a hole in the heart, in the chest. One of his last Facebook posts featured Charlie Hebdo. The other linked to a story arguing that Mohammed could be drawn. But on the other side of the glass was Omar who disagreed.

The target of the Muslim terrorist may have been Lars Vilks, the maverick artist who drew Mohammed, but he was just as willing to shoot Finn Nørgaard in the chest at close range, despite the Danish filmmaker’s sympathies for immigrants. Omar was there to kill anyone who believed in freedom of expression. And as a filmmaker, freedom of expression was what Nørgaard believed in.

The Husseins of this world are ready to kill and die for their beliefs. They settle blasphemy debates with bullets. There is only an iron gate or a glass wall separating us from them.

Only that and men willing to die to stop them; men like Dan Uzan and the police officers and bodyguards wounded in the attacks. And men like Lars Vilks, who are willing to risk their lives to make themselves targets even knowing what lies on the other side of the fragile glass of our civilization.

Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are just words unless someone is willing to die for them. For a few generations everyone took them for granted. But now in Copenhagen and in Paris and in the twinkling outposts of civilization strewn across a twilit earth, men are dying for them once again.

They die unprepared, without understanding that they are civilization’s last line of defense.

Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein was exactly the sort of second or third generation immigrant that good Europeans fear and feel sorry for. The bad neighborhoods of Copenhagen crawl with them. They are the foot soldiers of crime, the thugs and drug dealers, the car thieves and muggers, who make it happen.

Lazy and bored, born to families living on welfare, touchy and eager for a fight, they move in and out of prisons accompanied by a rap soundtrack until eventually they find Allah, switch to Nasheeds, dig through the Koran and realize that the guns they run for gangs can be used equally well for massacres.

Omar might have easily been featured in Nørgaard ‘s documentary “Another Way” with its cast of scowling Muslim youths who go from burning cars to trying to turn their lives around on a hike with the aid of a blonde female CEO. Omar could have easily fit in among Ibrahim, Abdallah, Zeshan and Tiam.

But was Nørgaard listening when Abdallah said in his documentary that “As a Muslim, Islam stands above all else.” Did he truly understand the implications?

Omar’s murder of Finn Nørgaard was the “other way” that few in Europe dare to acknowledge. It is the way of Islam. It is the way that Muslims put Islam above all else, above their own freedom and the freedom of others, so that the way of Allah made be made supreme upon the earth.

At twenty-two, Omar El-Hussein already had a full rap sheet. A member of one of the Muslim gangs terrorizing Copenhagen, he had been sentenced to two years in prison for stabbing a man on a train. Two weeks after his release, the terrorism began. Now Omar is dead, along with two other men.

But there are plenty of other Omars in Copenhagen. Today they burn cars. Tomorrow they burn people.

Mohammed recruited men like them to rob and kill for him. Over a thousand years later they are still killing for him. Copenhagen may be an ancient city, but the hissing desert is older still. The sword and the Koran are older than Copenhagen. If the city is to survive them, it must do more than weep and place dead flowers on stony streets. It must find the strength in those stones to preserve its people.

Recent surveys showed that the majority of Danes want to limit Muslim immigration. A third believes that Denmark is far too tolerant of Muslims. Meanwhile the men who hold the gate and sit by the wall die to buy the rest time to wake up. They die in cafes and synagogues. They die with their hearts full of love without ever understanding the hate that drives the enemy that is killing them.

Omar El-Hussein was not disadvantaged. He was not disaffected. He was not oppressed. He was following the path of his people. He was following the law of the Muslim world. The law of Islam.

Perhaps he was trained in some ISIS camp, but more likely his training came in the streets and prisons where Muslim organized crime makes its own training camp.

He is not the first Muslim terrorist to strike Copenhagen. He will not be the last.

The duty of the Muslim is “Enjoining right and forbidding wrong”. That is what ISIS does in Iraq. It’s what Omar El-Hussein did in Copenhagen. Freedom of expression is wrong. All religions except Islam are wrong.

That is the Islamic view from the other side of the gate, the other side of the wall and the other side of the gun.

Islamic immigration has built a wall across Copenhagen. It has built a wall across Europe. It has built a wall across the West.

On one side are the Dan Uzans and the Finn Nørgaards. On the other are the Omar El-Husseins.

The wall is constantly expanding and growing. And the foe is at the gate.

Who among us will stand at the gate and give his last breath to keep the murderous hordes from pillaging our land?

Will our president protect us? Certainly not.

Will our Congress? They will wring their hands.

Will our Homeland Security? For them we are the barbarians.

Only our military stands between us and the evil that seeks our destruction. But how can they help if they are led by those who side with our enemies?

Our home grown militia are our only hope. We will keep our guns and we will protect what we love and honor. Let the hordes come. We are more than a match.

Easy illusions of cultures being equal are falling... lines are being drawn....

Sad but true! Can’t help but think our military leaders are more interested in staying in the good graces of their CIC than the oath they took. They ALL should be willing to tell him to take a hike - “damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead”! Let the chips fall where they may. They certainly can’t round them all up. Who among the administration would even have the nerve? Bunch of pantywaists! It will fall to us as it was “in the beginning of this country.”

Unfortunately, there are people, some even here in FR, Our beloved Forum,who STILL subscribe to the notion that Muslim Terrorists are acting out of oppression, lack of education, poverty, or ignorance.

Then I gently remind them that Osama was a millionaire, that the head of the MB in Egypt had an MD, and most of the 9/11/01 hijackers came from decent families and had degrees.

AND, it would seem, that the more people study the Koran and the Hadiths, the MORE likely they are to become murderers, slave traders, pirates, terrorists, and hatemongers.

The "peaceful muslims" are the ones who can barely read, live their lives in quiet poverty, and are non-religious, as they are too busy trying to make a living to pray 5 times a day and memorize the koran. Just my humble opinion, based upon observation.

Great piece describing the satanic cult and about a great man who died defending God loving people from that cult.

We too have a similar demographic, searching for a cause.

Most of the “military leaders” who were really leaders, have been banished out of the military.

Guess why: They were asked if they would fire on civilians .. if they said NO, they were fired, or retired.

That’s why the “supposed leaders” of our military are willing to hunt us down instead of protect us.

And that's not a comfort, either, knowing what I know of the "militia"...

How can anyone make a big deal of this? Clearly, it was just a random act of violence with no relation at all to Mohammedanism, er, Islam. When our Great Leader finishes his golf vacation, he will tell us so.

Except, why should a great man like him be concerned about street crime in Denmark. Maybe he won’t both to comment at all. So, take it from me, it’s just random street crime.

Wealthy Muslim families spawn leaders of terrorist organizations.
They are gang leaders, crime bosses, capo di tutti capi (”boss of all bosses”), dons, men who add to their wealth by creating vast criminal organizations.
They live in luxury while their minions rape and pillage in the name of Allah.
They are the inheritors of Muhammed and his sons, powerful leaders of vast criminal cabals.
This is the very essence of the Muslim cult.
It is a pirate culture, deep and strong, with an ethic that demands blood for transgression, even the slightest misstep.
It slaughters its daughters in the name of honor and murders its brothers in the name of fidelity to family and tribe.
It is consummate evil and stands deep in need of the salvation of Christ or the sword of the knight.

About Me


My name is Daniel Greenfield. I am a blogger and columnist born in Israel and living in New York City. I am a  Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and a contributing editor at Family Security Matters.

My original biweekly column appears at Front Page Magazine and my blog articles regularly appear at Family Security Matters, the Jewish Press, Times of Israel, Act for America and Right Side News, as well as daily at the Canada Free Press and a number of other outlets. I have a column titled Western Front at Israel National News and my op eds have also appeared in the New York Sun, the Jewish Press and at FOX Nation.

I was named one of the Jewish Press' Most Worthwhile Blogs from 2006-2011 and my writing has been cited by Rush Limbaugh, Melanie Philips, Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Judith Klinghoffer, John Podhoretz, Jeff Jacoby and Michelle Malkin, among others.

My investigative pieces have included the story of Obama and Pfleger, which I was the first to break months before the mainstream media. I also detailed for the first time many of Obama's radical clergy ties, including Farrakhan supporters, as well as exposing Rabbis for Obama as being a front group for Pro-Hamas appeasement supporters.


I revealed that the Vice-President of the Center for American Progress and the new senior adviser for Nancy Pelosi had participated in terrorist fundraising and broke the story of how Ron Paul and Barney Frank had tried to put Soros' associates in charge of destroying America's military.

I have investigated the billionaires funding the Anti-Israel left, the Islamist misogyny, in the new French government, Iran's meth empire , the coverup of Islamic genocide in Nigeria and the lost history of Harlem's Black Hitler. I broke the story of the Secretary of State recognizing a terrorist propagandist with an award as one of the International Women of Courage and exposed the falsehoods in Prince of Slaves, a Muslim propaganda film aired on PBS. I investigated the ties of the Durham torture Dems to Anti-Israel and Pro-Saddam activism and the Islamist ties of Al Queda's Congressman.

The scope of my writing covers everything from domestic American politics to creeping Islamism in Scotland and how foreign aid makes its way into the hands of terrorists to white aborigines in Australia, Islamist Imams in Libya,  flogging in the Maldives and the hunt for witches in the Muslim world.

I write a daily blog column on issues involving Islamic Terrorism, Israeli and American politics and Europe's own clash of civilizations. My pieces are available to all bloggers to reproduce with proper attribution. Please see the copyright statement below. If you are a newspaper or larger commercial entity, please email me to let me know that you intend to use one of my columns.

If you want to use one of my pieces or have any other questions you can email me and I'll get back to you shortly. If you would like to support my work, donations are appreciated. Just click the button on the top right. If you want an explanation of what "Sultan Knish" means, all I can tell you is that some of the most interesting things in life are random.


Finally my writing philosophy can be gathered from the following quote:


"We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." George Orwell

"...they move in and out of prisons accompanied by a rap soundtrack until eventually they find Allah," king of the lower world, where they are at home.

It may be not all Muslims are worshippers of satan, just as not all Christians worship Christ. There are fallen away muslims and there are fallen away Christians.

Muslims who drift from the faith practice "the religion of peace." Fallen Christians are democrats.
