Over the past decade, there has been a spate of revisionist history regarding the precise role played by Quisling (Vidkun Qvisling), some of it nonsense, some worth a second look. Whatever the truth, the fact remains that Quisling was a personally liberal man (one who included a wide array of people, including Jews, in his personal friendships and who was married to a Russian), who saw his role as a nationalist one and was personally detested by Hitler (as was Franco). His stalling tactics in carrying out Nazi orders may have saved the lives of many of his fellow-countrymen; because of his summary execution, the whole story can never be known. However, there is little to suggest even this degree of foresightedness and national loyalty (indeed, of loyalty or self-respect of any kind) in your portrayal of those who seem intent on expediting a seamless transition from cultural independence to UN-mandated deference to Islam inside European institutions. A better historical comparison perhaps might be to the liberals of Madrid and Barcelona in the 1920s who paved the way for Soviet Russian and then Nazi German intervention in what became the Spanish Civil War.

The literal meaning of Islam is peace; surrender of one’s will i.e. losing oneself for the sake of God and surrendering one’s own pleasure for the pleasure of God. The message of Islam was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) 1, 400 years ago. It was revealed through angel Gabriel (on whom be peace) and was thus preserved in the Holy Quran.

So which is it?  Peace or Submission to God's will?   My understanding is that it is generally accepted as "submission", a very ugly word indeed to the Western mind.  We don't submit.

This definition of Islam is the absolute underpinning of the conflict between Muslims and Westerners.  Once the notion of "submission" is rejected, all things Islamic become foolish and unacceptable.

Yesterday evening a Danish TV channel aired a Dutch made programme from a Koran school in
Jakarta.

A chilling
account of how backward and oppressing this so-called religion is. These poor
young students are forced to learn by rote the Koran in Arabic which none of
them understands. Instead of gaining useful scholastic skills in e.g. math and science
they are systematically brainwashed into becoming real Muslims - meaning fundamentalists.

Quite
scaring to see how non democratic means are praised in these schools – like torching
a cinema or Osama Bin Laden is hailed as a hero and how Imams in the largest Mosque
of Jakarta preach war against the west.

No opposition or questioning Islam is possible and hence its inescapable by-product is brutality
and barbarism.

So the current riots in Asia have nothing to do with
the cartoons. They are just an excuse and a sign of much deeper problems which this
oppressive religion is causing in the Muslim countries.

The good thing is that it is just a matter of time before Islam will cave in on itself.

Islam is the road kill of evolution and is simply not fit to survive in a modern world.<

To all you lovers of the multicultural societies who claims that Denmark is not doing enough to integrate Muslims into our society and we have to though immigration laws, have you noticed how many Muslims who have declared lately that they love their Prophet more than their own families and that we should all respect their customs and rules. How will you integrate people that will always put religion over democracy and laws? These people you have been letting in and for whom you have changed customs and rules so they did not feel offended and still are so willing to let into our country, they will stab us in our backs if they get the chance, they will even kill their own if they see a Muslim who actually believes in democracy, just look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali from NL, Naser Khader from DK, both have 24 hour police protection because of threats from Muslims inside NL and DK, because they dare to stand up and say that they believe in democracy and freedom of expression.
I personally fear the day that one of you I-love-everybody-do-gooders gets to be Prime Minister, because that will be the day when Eurabia will be happening and when it does you better be prepared to convert to Islam because you will not be Prime Minister for long, you will be replaced by a cleric.

I agree entirely. I think this is a shame. This is a brilliant website with some of the most intelligent articles on various subjects concerning conflicts with the Muslim World, Islam and the Western World's response.

But the comments as they are now ruin any possibility of intelligent discussion. Better with no comments :(

This article was posted not 12 hours ago. And we already have 4 "pages" of islam-spam (for and against). Some of it was already posted last week. Most of it is copied from other sources, where a link would do. There are many ways of killing off freedom of speech, but this is one of them. The 4000-words constraint only means that some of you split there "contributions" up in smaller chunks. I would suggest to the editor to suspend the "right" of the worst offenders to post their rubbish for say a week or so.

I took the time to read the links that you provided. One qoute was being highlighted:

"I meet many university students in the UK and other European states and I find some students, for instance, of Pakistani origin telling me, 'we have never been to Pakistan but we are thrilled with what happened in 9/11'; they say, 'we are Muslims before being European citizens.'"

Do you understand then when many people ask:

"Then why are you here?"

And please dont forget that Europe fought internal wars with enourmous losses, in order to break the "iron grip" of the Church, or rather their leaders. Do you really think that they will bow to the same kind of people holding a different banner? You must be dreaming.

Yes, the cartoon battle is turning ugly. But you should try to look into who is on the receiving end.

First of all the Danish exports to the ME is less than 1.3 Billion US. Compare that against 2 Billion US is foreing aid. There is a source to cover the losses.

Second, Danish tourists spend more than 1.3 Billion on holidays in Muslim countries. The news that I get from Denmark is that they have opted to go to other destinations.

Third, a big part of the exports to the me is food and pharmaceuticals. As that is commodities that are in demand in this world, it wont be long before they are into new, non-muslims, markets.

Fourth, the remaining export is hi-tech machinery. That is also the reason for Iran to excempt "certain machinery" from the boycut. They have 3 cement plants to be delivered in the near future and have already made most of the payments. But such machinery is also in big demand in other parts of the world.

Fifth, the whole case has shifted the focus in Danish politics to the "right-wing" or rather the "nationalists". What that will mean is that expulsions of non-nationals will start one day. Based on the laws that allow expulsion of residents that commit crimes or are considered a danger to national security.

The sad thing is that the ME is not importants to Denmark, and they can severe ties without any economic damages and even with savings.

So who is in the receiving end?

I think all of those anti-racist organisations and pro-multicultural P C politicians should think about this: How come that every time an Islamic rule comes into conflict with a western rule/law/tradition, they demand that we change our ways of life and if we do not agree to this we are infidels/racists/enemies of Islam. If these Muslims who protest and live in the western world don’t like that people can criticize or question Islam, if they don’t like that women have equal rights, companies having x-mas parties or is serving pork in the canteen and etc. then what are they doing in countries that allow this? There are plenty of Muslim dictatorships that have all the values they are looking for, could it be that they plan to turn your country into an Islamic state governed by old clerics that still belive they are in the dark ages, think about it.

We have all got to stand up now and say to the Islamic world, NO we will not have your Dark Age rules imposed on our free societies, Islamic taboos applies to Muslims only.

STAND UP NOW AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD IN SUPPORT OF DENMARK AND THE FREE WORLD

Here in the USA we have the same thing. Our MSM and Hollywood hoi-palloi run around insulting the traditions, beliefs, and ordinary folk of the USA and then go around congratulating themselves for being so "brave".

Of course, they dare not show the Mohd Cartoons because that takes real bravery not their faux bravery.

The situation was the same in the Danish press in the years up to second world war. Editors were fired if they critized the Nazi crimes that was known to the press. In some cases they were called to conversations with the Danish goverment (social demokrats and the social liberals). The goverment managed to impose selfcensurship in the Danish press.
