The Danes - Balls of Steel
Michelle Malkin has an encouraging post on the reaction of at least some of the Danish media to the World Rage Tour being put on be the Imam's. Remember - it's not about the cartoons. I think the Danes are going to try to save themselves - and I applaud them. I hope they begin deporting people - and I hope America stands with them when they do.
This is not the first time in history that the Danes have shown the courage to face oppression in the defense of civilization, something of a rarity in Europe. If you're not quite convinced this is civilization versus barbarism (to paraphrase Clifford May) - you should look at this post from Pamela.
It is interesting to note the force of women's voices in defense of civilization. They have no blinders on about what Islam means. In Islam women are chattel. In the West - women are the beacons of freedom. Look at this quote from the Queen of Denmark from the Telegraph via Atlas Shrugs:
"We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy.
"We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."
"And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."
Well - that's enough for me - I'm planning my next vacation in Denmark.
