At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war.

Observe the complete lack of identification in the story of the people responsible. It reeks to high heaven of Islam. The worrying part is that the hindrance of emergency personnel has now reached Norwegian shores. I know it is already pretty common in Sweden and Denmark, but this is the first I’ve heard of it here in Norway. It’s a pretty safe bet it will not be the last.
I’ve translated the story from an article in Aftenposten. It was also reported in Dagbladet. The second article has the more interesting photos. Notice the tent-women in the background.
Hindered ambulance — Woman died
When ambulance personnel were dispatched after an emergency call from an elderly woman in Tøyen [Muslim-dense region in the center of Oslo], family members arrived and denied them access.
The woman’s life could not be saved.
Around 12 o’clock today ambulance personnel were dispatched to an apartment in Tøyen Oslo after a report that a woman in her sixties had suffered a medical emergency. But the family denied them entrance.
“Simultaneous with the arrival of the ambulance, a car with several of the woman’s relatives arrived. They behaved so threateningly that the ambulance personnel chose to call the police. When the police arrived, the relatives threatened them as well,” says the chief of operations in Oslo police precinct Vidar Hjulstad to NTB.
Fight with the police
After a while, more of the woman’s relatives arrived at the location, and a fight ensued between the police and the family. According to Dagbladet.no someone shouted “We shall kill you!” to the police and ambulance personnel.
The police managed to clear a path for the medical team, but as they got up to the woman’s apartment, the woman’s life could no longer be saved.
“They were delayed a few minutes because of the relatives. But it is too early to tell if her condition was so precarious that this was a factor,” says Hjulstad.
May file criminal charges
The police had to send several squad cars to manage the situation. To persons were arrested by the police, who may file charges against them for violence against a public servant.
“We have two people in custody, but it is too early to say what we will do with them. So far we don’t understand much of the situation, and have to consider if this resulted from a reaction based in grief.”
Grief, my foot! Try “supremacist Islamic rules regarding men, women and infidels”. I can’t believe these scum actually tried to hinder emergency medical attention directed towards their own elderly relative. The lot of them should be charged with manslaughter.
There have been some late developments in the story: there is now some doubt as to who came first to the scene. According to the relatives and two neighbors, the police arrived first. Apparently the woman had a heart attack, and the family was rather angry because the ambulance was late.
The police, however, have stated that the ambulance arrived first. According to the emergency call center the relatives were so threatening over the phone when they placed the emergency call, that they called the police, and not the ambulance personnel, though they may have called for the police as well.

This is a translation of an article about what seems to have been an assault on a 15-year-old girl by Moroccans, carried out in retaliation for girl’s reporting a Moroccan to the police for the arson of a car.
The girl is of a Dutch-Moluccan (Christian background) family, and in her neighborhood more Dutch-Moluccan families live. They have had a lot of trouble with Moroccans in the past, but this assault might trigger bigger riots and has also enraged the Dutch, who in comments show their anger and sympathy with the Dutch-Moluccans. Maybe some are prepared to join the Dutch-Moluccans in taking action or organizing revenge against the Moroccans.
I have also compiled additional material from a variety of sources (links are at the bottom).
Note: the attacked girl seems to be 15 years old (not 13, as I reported in my translation).
Battles in Culemborg district, attack on 13-year-old girl- - - - - - - - -On New Year’s Eve the Dutch city of Culemborg was the scene of serious disturbances. Moroccan and Dutch-Moluccan[1] youths clashed with each other after a car fire. The police responded to the hostilities and were pelted with stones and fireworks.
According to the comments in the local newspaper and on a Dutch-Moluccan website, a Moroccan boy was caught trying to set fire to a car belonging to a Dutch-Moluccan. When the father of the boy involved himself, a row emerged, more Moroccans showed up, and it evolved to a fight on a larger scale. The mobile brigade (ME) of the police then intervened and the rest returned when residents were ordered to enter their homes.At five in the morning everything again went wrong, when Moroccans tried to run down Dutch-Moluccan people with their car. Their attempt ended up with their driving into a garden against the front of a house in the Diepenbrockstraat (a street were many Dutch-Moluccans reside [map]), whereby they struck two people who were celebrating the new year with others in the front garden. These victims, one of them a 13-year-old girl, suffered minor injuries.
The occupants of the car tried to escape, but two of them were caught by angry Dutch-Moluccans and beaten up: one of the Moroccans had to be transferred to the hospital by ambulance. The other Moroccans were later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The five Moroccans are 18 and 19, and 21 years of age and are from the cities Culemborg, Zeist and Utrecht. Some of them have already been released [Monday] but are still suspects. The driver of the car is still behind bars.
Windows smashedOn Sunday, the mobile brigade was withdrawn by the mayor although the tension was still there. Sunday evening it all broke loose again. According to residents, a group of Moroccans (about 40 of them) came walking into the neighborhood and smashed the windows of five houses and threw Molotov cocktails inside. They also smashed a few car windows. Two people were slightly injured, one of them again, the 13-year-old girl: “At the same address where the car drove into the front garden, now a huge boulder went through the window. One person who was wounded was the same 13-year old girl who was hit by the car a few nights before.”
The mother of the girl: “I got down on my knees to get to her … there she lay, bleeding. […] What do they want, her life?” The mother of the injured girl would have preferred that the police had kept a better eye on the street after the New Year’s assault. “How can the police not have seen that, it cannot be, I am not going to take this any longer… really.”
After the attack, the Dutch-Moluccans were outraged, and the mobile brigade and police entered the Moluccan district with their guns drawn. A policeman was wounded, and the mobile brigade tried to calm the residents. Everybody was ordered to go inside, or arrests would follow. According to a commenter on the Dutch-Moluccan website maluku4you, Dutch-Moluccan youngsters had later on staged a counter-action against the houses in the nearby Moroccan district.
Targeted assault on 13-year-old girl
The action in the early morning on New Year’s Day was not just an attack, the residents say. It was a targeted assault as Algemeen Dagblad reports, on the 13-year-old Shoëla Coenmans, who earlier that week, Tuesday, witnessed a car being set on fire. She recognized one of the Moroccan boys, called 112 [emergency number], and later filed a witness report with the police. Only a few days later five Moroccan boys crashed their car against her parents house and wounded her.
The father of the girl, John Coenmans: “This is no coincidence. Last Wednesday she was even intimidated in the supermarket, threatened, and again on Thursday. Later on, they tried to run over her (with a car). They first drove towards a group across the street. Fortunately, those people hopped out of the way. Then they drove against the garden fence. That did not work. They then reversed to take a run at it. The second time they did manage to crash through the fence.’’
Daughter Shoëla is still walking with a limp. Her leg was bruised by the collision with the car: “I could just barely jump aside.” Shoëla also sees a link with her earlier declaration with the police: “They recognized me. I came walking up there, the car was just set on fire. I saw them run away and recognized one of the (Moroccan) boys. He saw me as well.”
The family will not think of moving. Coenmans: “Never!’’ But what does touch John Coenmans is the attitude of the mayor of Culemborg, Roland Van Schelven (of the anti-Wilders party D66): “He said on television that he had been in the neighborhood, but we have ‘t seen him. Something like this happens in your town and you don’t show up. What kind of behavior is that? We are not the royals, but still.”
According to a comment on the website “maluku4you,” on that Sunday evening, January 3, the Moroccans had held an emergency meeting in their mosque, and probably from there went straight towards the Dutch-Moluccan district to attack.
Mayor Roland Van Schelven, former alderman of the city of Gouda, which also has trouble with Moroccan street terror, is according to many commenters on a Moluccan website totally incompetent and easily chooses the side of the Moroccans. He now seems to have ordered that cameras be put up in the Diepenbrockstraat where the attack happened, and the Mayor has proclaimed an emergency order, hoping to prevent groups from gathering and Dutch-Moluccans and Moroccans from clashing again in Culemborg.
A commenter on maluku4you: “The situation is explosive in Culemborg, now a Moroccan is seriously wounded and in the hospital. Fortunately there were no dead, otherwise it would be war and the situation incalculable. The Culemborg district Terweijde is a Dutch-Moluccan district that is now heavily guarded by the police. The atmosphere is grim and explosive. Especially the Dutch-Moluccan church is closely guarded, because many Moroccans live around there. They are afraid the Moroccans might do something with the Dutch-Moluccan church and then the storm would certainly burst, the mobile brigade and police are monitoring everything very strictly.”
GeenStijl reports that possibly tonight [Monday] the Satuh Darah Motorclub [meaning “one region”, pointing at the Moluccan Islands in Indonesia], the Dutch-Moluccan branch of the Hells Angels, will try to make a drive through Culemborg. “Dear fellow Dutch-Moluccans, don’t be afraid, we are here for you.”
Anger is shared by Dutch-Moluccans and native Dutch anywhere you look in comments today. GeenStijl has a poll asking: “All right: who are right here?”, on which 97.3% side with the Dutch-Moluccans. A few comments on the Dutch-Moluccan website maluku4you:
Come on native Dutch, don’t let our Dutch-Moluccans stand in the cold, choose sides, for it is a big scandal to attack a 13-year-old girl simply because she had recognized those Berbers [Moroccans]. I stand firmly behind our Moluccans, which are Dutch and those desert-rats will never become that. — Comment by: inherent | January 4, 2010 at 15:29
[A Moroccan] Hahah, who says that we want to be Dutch? We are proud of who we are! So keep that small talk with yourself, better a desert than a cheese-head… [“cheese head” = Dutch national] — Comment by: Marokkaantje | January 4, 2010 at 15:34
This Muslim mob wants to make dhimmis of Dutch-Moluccans! Very good and quite right that you are not taking this. And do not believe this is just a bizarre incident. This is a harbinger of the upcoming multicultural civil war. Like Israel is at the international front in the fight against Muslims, so the Dutch-Moluccans are the front in the Netherlands. Well … Keep up the good work. You fight for freedom and security. — Comment by: erdebe | January 4, 2010 at 14:30
I wish the Moluccan people in that district all the best, don’t expect anything of this worthless government, which only likes Muslims, and also only has respect for that Muslim scum. — Comment by: Ben | January 4, 2010 at 14:30
Hit them, don’t turn away, hit those Moroccans — Comment by: opa Ferry van G | January 4, 2010 at 13:54
The Dutch-Moluccans are in the Netherlands due to historical ties because of Dutch responsibility. This is of completely different order than the designed wave of immigration the leftist elite makes use of to destroy Western civilization and destroy capitalism, because of self hatred. As a Dutchman I am 100% in solidarity with my Dutch-Moluccan compatriots — we share history! Do not think that all Dutch are cowards. Self-conscious Dutch are not yet sufficiently organized. Come to Islamsterdam on January 20 to protest against the Wilders trial. We try to build an organization there! For information see www.joostniemoller.com [he is pointing at the same information offered by Gates of Vienna on the upcoming demonstration] — Comment by: jip gulzen | January 4, 2010 at 13:47
It is bad in the Netherlands, even worse than in Flanders. That there sooner or later emerge civil wars from, seems normal to me, people will not continue to accept that violence of Moroccans. It’s all about OIL. The only thing they have in those magnificent Islamic countries is oil, and what is the West still worth without oil? Nothing! That is why there is a Muslim invasion in Europe and we dare not to act against the thugs among them, fearing to get no more oil. The West should be as soon as possible try to function without oil, then we can kick out all those Berbers [Moroccans]. […] This people has no place in our Western culture. And today’s order-word that we and our cultures are all equal is nonsense, nothing is equal, let alone equivalent. […] Islam is NOT a religion but a subversive sect of barbaric ruthless murderers. See the example of Kosovo and be attentive to the coming danger: one part (or whole) of the Netherlands will eventually be declared an independent Muslim region, established with bloodshed. People get up, fight for your land and your safety, your right to a peaceful life. — Comment by: fee | January 4, 2010 at 13:37

The Dutch-Moluccan revenge will be sweet! Various districts in the Netherlands are standing prepared. — Comment by: | January 4, 2010 at 12:35
People from Indonesia have always behaved exemplary and together with the Dutch lived in good friendship. They married each other, started to discover and appreciate each other’s culture and food. The Indonesians have a sophisticated culture and among one of the finest and best people on this earth. The Dutch-Moluccan temperament is slightly more direct and more temperamental but also very righteous and friendly. In short, no problem. […]And they [the government] brought the Moroccans to our country. But they do not greet us on the street. They do not talk to us. They do not marry with us. No ties at all. And that’s weird. Moreover, they are very coarse and direct and full of temperament. That in itself is not bad, but it clashes with our culture and even more with the more sophisticated Dutch-Moluccan culture. […] Can you change this all? I think not. So it seems to me that the Moroccans are also not able to feel at home here. Project failed. — Comment by: tamar | January 4, 2010 at 12:33
Justice, Municipalities and Police are all the same!! They do not dare to deal with the Moroccan nuisance here in our own country!! Dutch-Moluccans, we salute you !!!!! — Comment by: | January 4, 2010 at 11:37
Because politics and the judiciary have been failing for years now, the Dutch-Moluccans get “carte blanche” by me to solve the Moroccan problem. The Dutch support the Dutch-Moluccans! Our cowardly authorities are everyone’s enemy. May pitch and feathers be their lot! — Comment by: 2Crazy2bTrue | January 4, 2010 at 11:23

It hurts me, and makes me angry that you are attacked by the Moroccans. While you are a prime example of how you can integrate.

All the very best. — Comment by: vriend van Molukkers | January 4, 2010 at 9:09
I’m just reading the reactions on Spits-news. If this is even 1 indicator of the support that the Dutch-Moluccans in the country have, than they are solid. And I think ‘t is an indication, because the Netherlands is fed up with the Moroccan scum and where — unfortunately — Dutch are cowards and the Dutch “politics” consists of incompetent failures, Dutch-Moluccans are still men with balls. — Comment by: Ton | January 4, 2010 at 9:05
It is about time for us Dutch to support the Dutch-Moluccans, for we seriously owe these people. — Comment by: freddie | January 4, 2010 at 6:27

In some instances I have added “Dutch” to “Moluccan” to easier distinguish “Moluccan” from “Moroccan”.

Moroccan and Dutch-Moluccans from across the country ready for battle
by Johan van den Dongen
CULEMBORG — The racial riots[2] between Moroccans and Dutch-Moluccans in Culemborg threaten to become a nationwide conflagration.
Although for years the tensions between two groups in the city of Culemborg have occasionally flared up and then calmed down, the flames now seem to spread. Moroccans and Dutch-Moluccans from other parts of the country have already indicated they will come down to the Culemborg district Terweijde [see map] to assist their own group and prepare for a possible battle.
Also, on the Internet, groups of signature [Indonesians, native Dutch, Surinamians and others] are challenging in a hooligan-like manner to a confrontation with Moroccans[3]. The spark seems to have appeared in September, when a Moroccan and a Dutch-Moluccan got into a fight in a kebab take-away [the Moroccan had purposely damaged the car of the Dutch Moluccan]. Big fights followed, and after the turn of the year there was a double attack on the 15-year-old girl [father Dutch, mother Dutch-Moluccan] Shoëla Coenmans, because she had reported a Moroccan for having set a car on fire.
Special emergency law
Mayor Roland van Schelven [D66, anti-Wilders party; former teacher and alderman in Gouda where they also do not dare to deal with the Moroccan street terror], who yesterday issued an emergency regulation for the next two weeks [special emergency law which for instance forbids gatherings of more than four people], fears the arrival of rioters. “Stay away from Terweijde”, he warned yesterday in an emotional appeal to the public. Mayor van Schelven in the meantime has asked Minister of the interior Guusje [“elite revolt”] ter Horst for financial help. “I hope for the support of the minister. To a small town like Culemborg, any assistance in this case is of good use.”
The PvdA [Socialist] Minister announced yesterday that he would make available €150,000 [about US $220,000] to allow Culemborg to employ three “street coaches” against the nuisance. Late last year, there a mobile squad of experts had already been sent to the municipality to intervene.
The police are also on alert about groups from outside of Culemborg. For a while the police will be present, including among others a mobile brigade unit. The deployment cost tons of euros, says police chief Van Zwam. For the next two weeks there will be a ban on the assembly of four or more people in the district. Firebreaks are closed with concrete fences. That should make it difficult for “unauthorized persons” to get behind the houses.
The Diepenbrockstraat [the street in the city of Culemborg where the 15-year old girl lives with her family and the Moroccan attacks took place] yesterday was partially closed off with concrete blocks. According to Mayor Roland van Schelven — who calls for parents to keep their rioting youth off the street — the police operation in Culemborg in the new year was bigger than ever. Nevertheless, during [actually after] the serious disturbances a black Fiat Punto with five Moroccans drove into two groups of people [aiming for the second group of the girl]. Residents talk about an assault against the girl Shoëla Coenmans who a few days earlier had recognized a Moroccan boy trying to burn a car and filed a declaration with the police.
Last night about ten Moluccan residents were guarding the district. They say they stand for their own safety because out of the blue Sunday night people [some 40] Moroccans had shown up to perpetrate destruction. They do not trust the mobile brigade unit that is around the corner. The police in Culemborg made 14 arrests, including five Moroccans who were in the car. Of them only the driver is still locked up. Two men who were arrested for serious assault are also still under arrest.
[1] Dutch-Moluccans are descendants of former “Royal Dutch East Indies Army” (KNIL) military and are Dutch nationals. After the independence of Indonesia they had to go to the Netherlands and were treated quite disrespectfully by the Dutch government of the day. Dutch-Moluccans are mostly Christian and many hope for an eventual independent South Moluccas, but have settled and are very well integrated in Dutch society. [2] It is not racial tension, but a tension caused by Muslim Moroccans who feel themselves some kind of herrenvolk and demand that others behave like obedient dhimmis (like Socialist- and Christian-Socialist politicians already do). In Culemborg it is non-integrated Muslim Moroccans against integrated (in the majority) Christian Dutch-Moluccans, which latter group receives an increasingly larger and stronger amount of support from native Dutch and other non-Muslim population groups, who are all fed up with the Moroccans or “little Islamites” as they are called sometimes in comments. [3] In the comment sections of many websites, quite a bit of tough talk is expressed against Moroccans and Islamites, both by Dutch-Moluccans as well as native Dutch and other groups. It possibly will remain confined to expressions of sincere outrage only, but if what is said in the comments becomes real action, mayor battles can be expected against the Moroccan Muslims, with the risk of spreading elsewhere in the Netherlands.

Berlingske Tidende printed the same large photo of the cartoons that it used last winter when the earlier plot to murder Kurt Westergaard was exposed.
It also reports that the Motoons have been reprinted in six papers in Belgium, Portugal, and Slovakia among other places.
According to Outside24, some the other sources for the cartoons are Diario de Noticias (Portugal, 3 January), Het Nieuwsblad (Belgium, 3 January), Times of Surinam (4 January), SME (Slovakia, 4 January) DNES (Czech Republic, 4 January), and De Standaard (Belgium, 4 January).
The Turban Bomb has also appeared on Denmark’s TV2, although it is in a report about the Norwegian reprint.

In the wake of the Lap Bomber’s failed attack on Flight 253, Yemen is rapidly becoming the primary focus of the struggle against Al Qaeda. The West’s preferred strategy in the War on Terror now seems to be to close its embassies in Yemen: the French have joined the USA and Britain in closing their embassy in Sanaa.

Somali Threats Against Swedish Illustrator- - - - - - - - -
Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who sparked outrage with caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a dog, has received threats via telephone from Somalia.Police in Helsingborg in southern Sweden are taking seriously the threats made against Vilks, which come just three days after Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was subjected to an axe attack at his home in Denmark.
The first of two phone calls to Vilks came on Monday morning. A subsequent check by the Swedish artist revealed that the call originated in Somalia, where the Islamic militant group al-Shabaab has gained increasing influence in the war torn country.
Al-Shabaab is also believed to have ties to al-Qaeda.
In the last month, al-Shabaab supporters who reportedly used to live in Denmark have killed at least 22 people, including three ministers, in a suicide bomb attack carried out in the Somali capital of Mogadishu.
According to Vilks, the man who threatened him spoke Swedish.
“The man, who spoke accented Swedish, asked me if I knew about what happened in Denmark and to the artist Kurt Westergaard. I said I certainly did,” Vilks told the Helsingborgs Dagblad newspaper.
“The man then explained that they were out after more and that they would soon come for me. I told them they were welcome,” said Vilks.
According to Patrik Peter, a spokesman for Swedish security service Säpo, the incident is being investigated by local police.
“It may be that the police will ask for our help in which case we’ll obviously do what we can,” Peter told the TT news agency.
The Helsingborg police have refused to comment on the incident.
“I have no comment whatsoever on how our investigation of the threat is being carried out,” police spokesperson Göran Hassel told TT.
Westergaard was one of the Danish artists who drew cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad for Denmark’s Jyllandsposten newspaper. Westergaard’s drawing portrayed Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.

Bomber Who Killed C.I.A. Staff Worked With Jordanian Intelligence
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The suicide bomber who killed seven C.I.A. officers and one Jordanian intelligence officer last week in southeastern Afghanistan was an asset of the Jordanian intelligence service who had been brought to Afghanistan to help hunt down top members of the Qaeda network, according to a Western official briefed on the matter.
Bear in mind: this guy was an intelligence asset for Jordan, one of our allies, a “staunch friend in the War on Terror”, as G.W. Bush liked to say.![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |

Naked into the Big Brother State- - - - - - - - -
by Christian Ultsch
As long as someone — anyone — promises more security, people will acquiesce to the loss of more and more rights that mark freedom.The “zero-years” [meaning the years 2000-2009] with their exhausting terror insanity are over, and we are still trotting naked and fatalistically like newly-shorn sheep towards the big brother state which is continuously being expanded. There remain plenty of crazies out there, like the 28-year-old Somali man who Friday night wanted to visit a Danish artist with an axe and a knife because the latter dared to caricature the prophet Mohammed four years ago.
There is no longer anything that remains a secret; the soup concocted from a nervousness about danger dissolves privacy like vegetables that have been overcooked. The state-run chef is all-knowing, if that is what he wants: for instance, he knows where and when we are traveling and with whom we are telephoning. In the near future all telecommunication companies will be officially required by law to store all customer data for at least six months and on request forward the data to the police. An EU directive wants it that way. Oh well. Are there any protests? Nada. Nothing.
Our most intimate preferences have been listed in an open book for a long time. The trail we leave when we use our credit cards or the internet make up a pretty profile to be used for commercial or police purposes. And those who traipse through the streets of Vienna or use the highways or public transportation can be found on recorded video more than once a day. There is even discussion in some municipal tenements about filming tenants while they empty their garbage into the bins. All this is allegedly for the sake of our safety. The state is just doing its job (and at the same time listening to us and reading our stuff). If we have nothing to hide, this shouldn’t bother us, we are instructed.
Oh yes, it does! It is troubling when the foundations are laid for a totalitarian big-brother-like community. It is troubling when the state nonchalantly subverts rights that were fought for centuries. The war against terror does not justify weaving a seamless monitoring system which catches citizens who have never been in conflict with the law. Freedom cannot be defended by restricting it. In bleating forbearance, our generation allows others to chivvy one basic freedom after another out of us as long as we are promised more security. Freedom of movement, for example, has become pretty relative in the context of flying. This where the neuroses of the terror age are currently expanding. Osama bin Laden and his cohorts’ fantasies of destroying airplanes are not a mere fetish in the wake of September 11: taking down technical wonders from the skies produces especially gruesome pictures.
Accordingly, the security craze at airports has intensified. Failed attacks have nerve-wracking and time-wasting results. We have the failed shoe-bomber Richard Reid to thank for having to pass security checkpoints in socks. And because one group planned an attack with liquid explosives, we can no longer take deodorants and toothpaste on board without hesitation. Not very appealing on long flights.
And the legacy of the son of a Nigerian ex-minister who on Christmas Day wanted to explode a Delta airliner, but only managed to singe his underpants, will be the full body scanner. Soon it will be possible for security people to relax when looking at scanned passengers’ prostheses, intimate body piercings or colostomies. Why don’t we just all travel with a towel around our waists and convert airplanes into flying saunas? None of us has anything to hide.

Below are translations of the reactions from the leaders and spokesmen from all Danish political parties after the attack on Kurt Westergaard.PM L. L. Rasmussen: Despicable Assault
The attack on Kurt Westergaard is not only an attack on the cartoonist but also an attack on the Danish democracy and the open society, Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen (V) states.
“The attack which Kurt Westergaard and his family have been exposed to is despicable, and I reject in the most comprehensive way this attack against human life and security rooted in extremism. It is not only an attack on Kurt Westergaard but also an attack on our open society and democracy. It is good that the Danish society together sharply distances itself from the attack,” Lars Løkke says in a press release.
On Saturday the PM himself called the cartoonist to express his sympathy following the attempt by the 28-year-old Somali to enter the cartoonist’s home to kill him. According to the PET, the man is part of a larger terrorist network, which the PET has kept under surveillance for a long time.
The perpetrator was imprisoned for four weeks and charged with attempted homicide.
P. Christensen: Incomprehensible that Denmark houses terrorist suspects
Political spokesman Peter Christensen, is shocked by the murder attempt on Kurt Westergaard in his own home.
“I send my warmest thoughts to Kurt Westergaard and his family, who experienced a true nightmare yesterday. This is the second time that they have tried to kill him, and it is scary and grotesque that Kurt Westergaard since publishing his cartoon has lived as a de facto hostage in his own home because of these fundamentalist men of violence,” says Peter Christensen.
By these terrifying events we experience once more that the terrorist threat in Denmark is real. Al Qaeda and their partners have not only focused on Denmark — we know that they are actually working in our country.
The arrested man, according to PET information, has close ties to the Somali terrorist organization al-Shabaab and Al Qaeda leaders in East Africa. He is also suspected of having been involved with terrorist activities. Such persons should not be allowed to have a permit to stay in the country, Peter Christensen states.
“It is completely incomprehensible that Denmark houses terrorist suspects and even gives asylum to some of them. If PET can prove that citizens or asylum-seekers are involved in terrorist activities, it should be followed up with charges, deportations, or administrative deportations,” says Peter Christensen who is satisfied with the police and PET since they reacted quickly and effectively, thereby saving Kurt Westergaard’s life.
“The government’s strengthening of the police and PET have once again shown its value,” he states, and underlines that it is completely unacceptable that one can be threatened just for exercising the right to express oneself — and that attempted murder because of political statements is terrorism and should be punished as such.
Helle Thorning-Schmidt: Denmark stands behind Kurt Westergaard
The leader of the Social Democrats, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, expresses her sympathy to Kurt Westergaard.
“It is a monstrous attack that Kurt Westergaard and his family have been exposed to in his own home. I would like to send a warm greeting to him and his family.”
“The cold-blooded assassination attempt against Kurt Westergaard is an attack on Danish society. We will not accept that Islamic fanatics think that they, by the use of threats, can subdue freedom of speech. The whole of Denmark stands behind Kurt Westergaard. All democratic forces must reject the terrorist attack completely.
“It is important that the police and PET have the greatest possible support. The attack on Kurt Westergaard shows that the terror threat against Denmark cannot be taken too seriously.”
Naser Khader: Today we are all Kurt Westergaard
“Today we are all Kurt Westergaard,” says integration spokesman Naser Khader in a comment on the attempted murder of the cartoonist in Århus last night.
“It is completely unacceptable that Danish citizens are being attacked by fanatical Muslim who demand revenge because of a drawing. It is worrisome that the terrorist managed to get into the house, and PET must look more closely at Westergaard’s security. Luckily the police were there quickly — and for that they deserve credit,” says Naser Khader.
“In Denmark one should be able to live safely whether you have drawn a picture of Muhammad or not. Our most important mission is the security Danish citizens in Denmark. That is why we now have to investigate whether it has become too easy for potential assassins to operate in this country,” says Naser Khader.
He underlines that he does not know the background of the attacker, but that he expects a thorough investigation of the man, his network, and all of the reasons for his being in Denmark. If it turns out that he is connected to the Somali terrorist organization Al-Shabab, the Conservatives will demand that the group be put on the international terrorist list.
Villy Søvndal: The perpetrator is ‘retarded’
It is completely insane that we have these kinds of retarded people in the world who think they can intimidate and terrorize their way to their goal.
This is what Villy Søvndal says in a comment on the attempted killing of the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard in his house on Friday night..
“It is crucial that this be met with nothing but condemnation in as strong a formulation as possible, and that we stand unified in Denmark, and say no: nobody should come here and threaten us about what to write or draw or think in this country,” says Villy Søvndal, who also express his sympathy with Kurt Westergaard.
Line Barfod: Attack on Kurt Westergaard is unacceptable
“It is unacceptable and scary that Kurt Westergaard has been attacked in his own home,” says political spokesman Line Barfod from Enhedslisten [the Communists]. Enhedslisten demands an investigation from the minister of justice to evaluate the security around Kurt Westergaard.
“Nothing can justify attempted murder, threats or violence. It is a completely unacceptable event which Kurt Westergaard and his family have been exposed to,” Line Barfod states.
Enhedslisten wants an investigation by Brian Mikkelsen, the Minister of Justice, to reveal how the attacker was able to get into the house. “It looks like security around Kurt Westergaard was not good enough. Especially since the arrested man was already under surveillance by the PET,” says Line Barfod.
Margrethe Vestager: An attack on democracy and all of us
“The attempted assassination of Kurt Westergaard is an attack on our free society. I am furious that anyone would try to do such a thing. We do not want anything to do with this in our country. We can and will not accept it under any circumstances. Denmark is a free country. We have freedom of speech and no one can change that,” says the leader of Radikale Venstre, Margrethe Vestager.
“Radikale Venstre condemns the attack in the strongest of terms, and our thoughts go out to Kurt Westergaard and his family, who tonight and earlier have gone through things no one should be put through. Especially not in a free democracy.
“I am glad that it was not any worse, although the shock from being attacked must be bad enough,” says Margrethe Vestager.
Pia Kjærsgaard: DPP demands general review
The leader of DPP, Pia Kjærsgaard, demands a complete investigation to reveal exactly how many terror-related Islamists reside in Denmark, in the wake of the scary attack on the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. Pia Kjærsgaard demands further possibilities for deportations of Islamists connected to terror organizations, and that the existing capabilities to be used to their greatest extent.
“The attack on Kurt Westergaard is very scary, and serves as a brutal reminder about how the naïve immigration politics of earlier days has brought the consequence that we now have a group of people in this country who are prepared to use violence to crush democracy. Therefore we have to make it much easier to deport terrorists and their sympathizers,” says Pia Kjærsgaard.
“The PET apparently knows why the attacker of Kurt Westergaard is likely to be a terrorist sympathizer. Therefore I will demand a general review of the overall numbers of these Islamists in Denmark, and at the same time I will ask the Minister of Integration to reveal what opportunities we have to deport known terrorists to their countries of origin, and on top of that I will ask her to broaden these opportunities,” says Pia Kjærsgaard.
“Already before last night’s attack on Kurt Westergaard we had a Tunisian man in the country who is charged with attempting the same kind of attack. It now has to be to completely clear to everyone that we cannot accept having terror-related Islamists living in this country. It has to be far easier than it is today to deport these people as soon as the authorities detect any kind of affiliation with terrorist organizations,” Pia Kjærsgaard says.

On March 31, 1977 in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, in an interview with PLO executive committee member, Zahir Muhsein said:
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, ‘Palestinians’, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”
Muslim Sheikh: “Jews are entitled to all of Israel”- - - - - - - - -
“Italian Muslim leader says Palestinian people does not exist”
[Photo caption: Last month there were many protests against the halt as decreed by the government of Netanyahu in construction of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.]
Just as there is a small group of Jews that oppose Israel, there are — mostly literate — Muslims who are very pro-Israel. Professor Sheikh Adbul Hadi Palazzi is the leader of the Italian Muslim community and declared this week during his visit to Jerusalem that the Jews are entitled to all of Israel and the Palestinians not only have nothing to look for there, but as a people do not even exist.
Palazzi was in Jerusalem for an interview with Aryeh King, activist, director and founder of the Israel Land Fund organization. The location where two gentlemen met, the Intercontinental Seven Arches Hotel in East Jerusalem, was not chosen at random: in the same hotel the Palestinian terrorist PLO was founded, and there it was declared that the Palestinians would not rest until every Jew had been driven in the Mediterranean Sea.
King: “If people would understand this, they would know that it’s not at all about the “Green Line” (pre-1967 border) or about Hebron, Jericho or East Jerusalem. The struggle is about all of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa and Ashdod. Unfortunately, there are many leaders, including Israeli, who do not understand this. Fortunately, there are also leaders such as Abdul Hadi Palazzi, who do understand this, and recognize the importance of Jerusalem (for the Jews) as the fact that here, at the site of the Dome of the Rock Mosque, the Temple of Solomon once stood.”
The Italian Muslim Community, the organization Sheikh Palazzi is leader of, has committed itself to a positive attitude by Muslims towards the Jews in Israel, and is basing itself thereby on authentic Islamic sources. According to him Israel should just continue to build Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria (West of the river Jordan, also called “West Bank”), particularly while there are no negotiations with the Palestinians taking place.
“The Government of Israel must be brave,” according to Palazzi. “They should say to be ready for negotiations, but as long as the Palestinians reject recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, these negotiations are pointless.”
“Until now, the Palestinian Authority have thought that time works to their advantage. They receive a lot, but in the meanwhile do nothing at all. Their leaders will be paid by the international community anyway, but that money is only used to strengthen their own position. But only when they understand that as long as they do not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, time will not work in their advantage because there are no negotiations taking place, a change may occur.”
Palazzi is strongly opposed to the building freeze in settlements as announced by the Netanyahu government. “As long as there are no negotiations this is seen as a sign of weakness. Yes, the European Union and President Obama will protest if the building activities continue, but what can they do against it? Nothing! Therefore, the Israeli people should just grow in all areas, so as to show that negotiations are not intended to paralyze one party.”
“The Jews have the right to all of Israel as their own country. The completely wrong starting point of the (previous) negotiations was the avowed support for the Palestinian claim (to their own state). During the British Mandate, the area was divided into two countries: Jordan and Israel, with the river Jordan as a border. The world must accept that Israel won the Six Day War (1967) and conquered the region up to the Jordan [that had been illegally conquered and occupied by Jordan up until then]. The Jordanians who lived there should be able to remain, provided they accept their status as foreign residents on Israeli territory, as is usual in any other country. The claim that they now want to establish a state on Israeli territory should therefore not be accepted.”
Palazzi adds that the Palestinians as a people have never existed, and therefore have no rights at all to any part of Israel whatsoever. “The PLO did not represent a state and was no political authority. Most leaders of the PLO were from the elsewhere in the region, Arafat for example was an Egyptian, Faizal Husseini (Arafat’s chief assistant) was from Iraq. The biggest mistake, therefore, has been that these people were recognized as representatives of the local Arab population. Moreover, the Arabs who lived there initially refused to accept them as their leaders, but continued to view themselves more as Jordanians — and thus not Palestinians.”
However, “During ‘Oslo’ [the peace agreement in 1993] this was entirely changed; all Arab countries were afraid to speak out against the PLO. That is why the situation after ‘Oslo’ only got worse, both for Israel and the Arab population.”
According to Palazzi, there are more and more Muslims who silently agree with him. This, according to him, is among other reasons partly due to the repeated threats of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to destroy Israel. As proof of this he mentions the demonstration at the Iranian embassy in Rome, which was called for by his organization, where another Muslim organization also joined them. “There are many Muslim leaders in Rome who have fled the extremist situation in their home countries. Therefore they consider the threat they faced in those countries as the same as threat that Israel is now undergoing. “

The news about the Knickerbomber (I just picked that word up from the Telegraph, and I really like it) keeps pouring in. Barack Obama and his aides are sidestepping and backtracking and dodging in an attempt to avoid political damage, but their chances of success grow slimmer every day. The bomber had accomplices. Obama was briefed about underwear bombs back in October. The government had been warned that there would be a Christmas attack. Yes, there was another suspect arrested and handcuffed in Detroit after the plane landed. And on and on and on.
