Tolerating Islamist intolerance

EXCERPTS:

Crucially, it is precisely this tolerance of intolerance that has allowed vocal and violent radicalised Islamist minorities to silence Muslim majorities and to transform the global image of Islam into the grotesque parody of the faith that the Danish cartoons sought - perhaps indelicately - to reflect.

Europe would be, not only foolish, but suicidal, if it succumbs to this terrorism and coercion to invent new curbs on the media and on the freedom of speech.

Here is a snippet from the Brussells Journal and another great cartoon from the Finns (the editor was fired)...

Meanwhile in Finland the editor of the cultural magazine Kaltio was fired yesterday after publishing a cartoon of a masked prophet Muhammad (see it here). The cartoon was drawn by Ville Ranta, a young Finnish cartoonist, whose aim was to lampoon the Finnish president, prime minister and foreign minister for their cowardice during the cartoon crisis. The prophet was masked, because, as the cartoonist said, “I do not wish to incriminate myself by drawing Mohammed’s face.”

Apparently the reason for sacking the editor, Mr Jussi Vilkuna, was that some of Finland’s large financial institutions withdrew their advertisements from Kaltio. Olavi Nieminen, the chief lawyer of Pohjola, a non-life insurance firm owned by OKO Bank, said the posting of the cartoon were irresponsible and a wrong way to defend free speech.

At the end of the apology:

---

"And so....from all Danes to the entire Muslime world,we just wanna say;
F*** YOU!!"

---

Try to click and copy from their page, and an exclamtion box comes up: "Steal, and Allah will cut off your head"!

These guys are really going tick off the radical muzzies! Good for them.

[freeangel]

"fatwah everyone?"

It would appear they are already doing that.

The more I read about and study Islam, the more I question whether Islam in itself is a radical religion that cannot coexist with other religions or democratic governments.

Remember in a recent poll, 40% of Muslims in Great Britain said they would prefer to live under Islamic law. Most of the leadership of CAIR is on record stating they would like the U.S. to be an Islamic republic some day.

An apology from Danish officials is not waht the Muslims want. They want Denmark.
