Here we go again, and I don't expect much better from the West. Another day, another jihad murder (link to article).

A gunman opened fire Saturday on a Copenhagen cultural center, killing one man in what authorities called a terror attack against a free speech event featuring an artist who had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.

The shooting, which also wounded three police officers, came a month after extremists killed 12 people at a satirical newspaper in Paris that had sparked Muslim outrage with its depictions of Muhammad.

********************

Lars Vilks, a Swedish artist who has faced numerous death threats for caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad, was one of the main speakers at Saturday's panel discussion, titled "Art, blasphemy and freedom of expression." He was whisked away by his bodyguards unharmed as the shooting began.

William Safire, on December 11, 1980 said it perfectly except that time the context was Poland. Yesterday France, now Denmark. Safire said (link): "The last time anybody invaded Poland, a World War began. This time, the West is direly warning the Soviet Union that any movement of Soviet forces across the Polish border would be met with coordinated cries of anguish and nicely orchestrated hand-wringing."

We are making a mistake by focusing on bringing justice to individual wrongdoers. The problem is "no go" zones in European cities and the spread of hate by imams. We must target such mosques in both the West and the Muslim world. What they are preaching is incitement and war.

Thank you for finally stating your honest views. For a while I was trying to understand why you were leaning towards one direction and then another direction based on what I thought was an attempt to look at the issues in a rational manner.

This last statement of yours is revealing and sickening to me. Target the Holy Houses of Muslims. Would you spray paint the Star of David on them - like the Swastika that was painted on Synagogues a few years ago?

I find your attitude disgusting - and unfortunately revealing.

But I will defend your right to say it.

I suspect that when he talks of "targetting" mosques, he doesn't mean it in the sense that some people target cartoonists. I think he means preventing those that incite to violence, from doing so, by legal means.

But that's just my reading.

In general, yes. But this is a war. Some of the leftists think I seek to protect Saudi Arabia because of royal ties to American business. Far from it. The imams there that spread their hate through the world need to die.

I get it. Unaccountable people, spurred on by imams, can create bloodbaths and the ones urging them on go off scot-free? By the way, Denmark, just had a second shooting, this time at a synagogue (link).

It reveals much that you would immediately make such assumptions. I think you try to appear unbiased but you are far from it.

The pictures I have seen are mostly tacky, tasteless and simply stupid. However, to use that as an excuse to accept or at least understand attacks such as this one and the one in Paris is bordering on cowardice.

The apologists for muslims surely inadvertently infantilisize the muslims by depicting them like people who just can't help themselves. Like little children or retards or any other group who can not be held responsible for their actions. Therefore the responsibility falls on you not to provoke them.

A similar logic such as if you tease a dog and as a result the dog bites you. Your fault entirely; you shouldn't have teased the dog.

I agree. Putting Muslims on a level with dogs is racism. Not holding them responsible for their violence is racism.

As for dogs, pet a golden retriever and it's teh same as teasing them. They will bite.

http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/suspected-copenhagen-gunman-had-criminal-record-links-to-gangs-1.2237073

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The suspected gunman killed by police after shooting attacks against a free speech event and outside a Copenhagen synagogue was 22 years old and had a background in criminal gangs, police said Sunday.

The suspect was born in Denmark and had a criminal record, including violence and weapons offences, Copenhagen police said in a statement. They didn't release his name.

Even when the police know about a certain person, the attacks can still happen.

I guess this is a proper reaction to it all.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/israeli-pm-benjamin-nethanyahu-encourages-jews-to-flee-europe/

The gunman in the recent terror attacks in Denmark appears to have targeted a Copenhagen synagogue simply because there were Jews there.

Just like after the terror attacks last month in France - once of which was on a Kosher grocery store -- Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the occasion to encourage Europe's Jews to leave.

"Again, Jews were murdered on European soil just because they were Jews," Netanyahu said at the start of his Cabinet meeting Sunday. "This wave of attacks is expected to continue, as well as murderous anti-Semitic attacks. Jews deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and sisters, Israel is your home."

The Israeli Cabinet approved a $46 million plan Sunday to encourage Jewish immigration from France, Belgium and Ukraine, countries where large numbers of Jews have expressed interest in moving to Israel.

Democracies tread a fine line having to balance freedom of thought and freedom to express religion from those who use both freedoms to engage in crime and terror.

Yes certain Mosques may be recruiting and training centres for terrorists and have to be monitored but our intelligence and police also have to tread carefully so that those innocent Muslims are not swept up in any police or security prevention activities.

It's not easy and its slow going but our intelligence and police are doing what JBG has suggested already. They are trying to monitor possible terrorist and hostile behaviour without going so far as to unintentionally harass or arrest the wrong people.

it takes time. Putting a contact into a terrorist cell, a mosque, a church, a school, whatever and then documenting possible hostile and potentially terrorist activities is psychologically draining, time consuming and is very complex to discern. There is a fine line between a right to think something, and an action based on a thought that could cause a crime,

Ghost I personally think Netanyahu is wrong in using the terrorist attacks to call for immigration to Israel.

I believe it insults those countries who Israel needs as allies. I do not believe Israel can live as a nation unto itself.

I think as many ZIonists do, that for Israel to be able to exist as a Jewish state, it also needs Jews living in the diaspora as well as non Jews as allies.

We need to reach out to not just these nations, but their Muslim peoples not just their non Muslim peoples to appeal to them to work with us against terrorism.

I do not feel comfortable exploiting fear in this manner. I think it embarrasses non Israeli Jewish supporters of Israel who are loyal to their nations of birth.

I would never abandon Canada. I would stand her and fight not just as a Jew against anti semitic terrorists but as a CANADA against terrorists.

I am loyal to Canada. I would not bail on it for any reason.

I also detest Muslim extremists and terrorists not Muslims. I have no problem living in Canada with Muslims or non Jewsh people. I like that. I enjoy a luxury of tolerance. I live in a country where we can live side by side.

I don't think France or Denmark has done anything to warrant telling Jews to flee. Unlke the holocaust. the nations where these attacks happen are not condoned or encouraged by their governments.

I believe Netanyahu should shut up and stop alienating states he needs to reach out to in a war against terrorism which is also a war to reach out to non extremist Muslims as well and get them to know we are on the same side.

The problem is "no go" zones in European cities and the spread of hate by imams.

Listen, Foxnews. This has already been debunked and people like you have been made fun of by Europeans for claiming these fantaies.

Claim: A number of localities in the United States, France, and Britain are considered Muslim "no-go zones" (operating under Sharia Law) where local laws are not applicable.

No go zones are real in many European cities. Paris and London for two. Go for a visit and see for yourself instead of sitting behind a computer hiding.

Ever been to Hastings in Vancouver? Parts of Chicago, Detroit?

Posted

Would you like to see evidence of no go zones?

Yes, but only if they're at least as reputable as FOX News, which should be around the lower bar for accuracy around here.

Meanwhile,

Fox News corrects, apologizes for ‘no-go zone’ remarks

A similar logic such as if you tease a dog and as a result the dog bites you. Your fault entirely; you shouldn't have teased the dog.

So according to your logic the west is the poor hapless dog that's being tormented?

That's phenomenal.

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Is jbg purposely spreading lies that have already been debunked? As shown above, even foxnews has retracted and apologized for the lies they made. Why is jbg still repeating misinformation?
