al-Guardian sees values of a free society as best defended by 'an unending accommodation of Islamic neurosis and supremacist posturing'

Topics: Dhimmitude

On the Guardian's own dhimmi Dane, Jakob Illeborg, and his claims that "liberal values" are best defended by, er, abandoning them:

"Illeborg's most recent article, titled Denmark Loses Tolerance, once again demonstrates a craven doublethink that has come to define much of the Guardian's commentary on the subject of Islam. In an attempt to illustrate 'how far Denmark has moved from the liberal values it was once proud of,' Illeborg highlights, of all things, Monday's suicide bomb attack on the Danish embassy in Islamabad. Just pause for a moment. Think about that. A claim that Danes are 'losing tolerance' is illustrated with an Islamist attack on a Danish embassy in which 6 people died and burned body parts were left strewn across the road.

'Ever since the prophet cartoon crises of 2006 and 2008, Islamist extremists around the world have been threatening bloody revenge on Denmark.'

Ah, bloody revenge. For a cartoon. Note that the intolerance which most troubles Mr Illeborg is that of 'headstrong' Danes who wish to retain a freethinking culture, and not the rather more emphatic intolerance of men so vain they blow off people's limbs and burn them to death. At this point one might reflect on how it is that some among us have come to accept the idea that an unflattering cartoon is a comprehensible 'cause' of death threats and dismemberment. The cause is not, it seems, lunatic pride cultivated in the name of piety."
