Yeah we don’t wanna offend any rag heads or left wing globalists

As I said, he’s a transitional figure. It’s an open question whether this is a transition into dhimmitude or resistance, whether the next generation will retreat deeper into the failed ideologies of the post-war years or revive the spirit of their more distant forefathers and actively resist the colonization of their homelands and the erasure of their cultures.

Well put

The big question for all Western nations: where did we leave our definitions of what we are?

The West had definitions at one time. we threw them out and forgot to replace them with a proven system. The new systems, imagined to be perfect, are now being tested by others who have no intention of living under those rules because they bring their nation of islam with them where ever they settle.

The West decided to pretend it was not a nation within a nation.

The West also decided to pretend that our newly created utopias actually worked as well as the old systems tested in war and peace.

As a Christian I believe the weakness of the West occurred when they abandoned respect for the faiths of the West, Judaism, Christianity and other world religions with similar moral constructs.

Why should he? His drawing did not kill, or even threaten, anyone; nutjob Islamists did.

That said, I’d be packin’ anytime, anywhere.

“Perhaps your hand would better remember its old strength if it held your sword again?”

Proving the pen mightier than the sword? He’s got courage; more than alot of their politicians.

Michelle? Allahpundit? Capt. Ed?

This site would be a good place to start such a FUND.

Link it to Paypal and credit cards so that Kurt W. can afford some safety.

Set it up, and I’ll be among the first to throw in a C-note.

Or, is it a struggle against Islam itself? Is it just another chapter in a book that was put down, upside down, under Europe’s bed three hundred years ago when the Muslim siege of Vienna failed?

What Kurt Wetergaard knows, almost unconsciously, is that what he faces is another siege by another means. He also knows that his fellow Danes, his fellow Europeans, his fellow westerners are in denial. Like Theo Van Gogh, Wetergaard may suffer a violent death at the hands of Islamofascists which may wake the west up or it may not. Either way, he’ll still be dead. That’s what he’s pondering while his vacuous interviewer ends the show, telling his audience that another interesting guest will appear in Kurt’s chair next week. Kurt, meanwhile, will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Any right-wing billionaires in the audience want to take this thing off his hands and give it to a museum, where it belongs?

How about Left wing billionaire George Soros. Doesn’t he run something called The Open Society Institute?

The next thing I’d like to see is a street or 2 (or maybe even hundreds) named after Kurt Westergaard. Maybe it could start in France, where they could rename Rue Mumia Abu-Jamal, in St. Denis.

I know, I’m dreaming.

Kurt Westergaard is the cartoonist/illustrator who drew the most famous of the Mohammed cartoons. Because of death threats, he has moved around constantly under police protection. Today, the German publication…

I especially liked how he said that there would be a confrontation at some point. He seems willing to be a figure in this struggled to reconcile Islam with secular countries. For this he deserves great regard.

Hopefully King Theoden here stays safe.

Yeah, I thought he looked a little familiar…

“Perhaps your hand would better remember its old strength if it held your sword again?”

I doubt his generation in Europe will ever turn the corner and appreciate the abyss of hatred the jihadists feel for them. Nothing, no attack, no atrocity, not even the clear and blantant threats of personal, hand-to-hand murder, will fundamentally change their world-view. This ’1968′ generation will never acknowledge that there is an implacable enemy of all they hold dear. They will go to their graves clinging to the old slogans, like the once-sacred liturgy of a dead religion.

As I said, he’s a transitional figure. It’s an open question whether this is a transition into dhimmitude or resistance, whether the next generation will retreat deeper into the failed ideologies of the post-war years or revive the spirit of their more distant forefathers and actively resist the colonization of their homelands and the erasure of their cultures.

Interviewer: Now we have heard that this drawing you made in one way or another, has cost about a hundred people their lives in connection with the Mohammed Crises…

Cartoons don’t kill people. Crazy Muslims overreacting to cartoons kill people.

Great, just great. Blame the cartoon and not the nutjobs who want to murder over a freakin’ cartoon.

Absolutely.
