33.000 protesterede i Paris

Tens of thousands of demonstrators, including ministers and politicians of all stripes, joined in a show of force against racism and anti-Semitism on Sunday, marching through the French capital after the torture and killing of a Paris Jew.
Some 33,000 people took part in the march, police said. Anti-racism groups that organized the march did not immediately issue a figure. Smaller marches took place in other cities, including Lyon and Bordeaux, where Archbishop Jean-Pierre Ricard, named a cardinal this week, took part.

Needing to wake up, West just closes its eyes
February 26, 2006
BY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST
In five years' time, how many Jews will be living in France?
- Two years ago, a 23-year-old Paris disc jockey called Sebastien Selam was heading off to work from his parents' apartment when he was jumped in the parking garage by his Muslim neighbor Adel. Selam's throat was slit twice, to the point of near-decapitation; his face was ripped off with a fork; and his eyes were gouged out. Adel climbed the stairs of the apartment house dripping blood and yelling, "I have killed my Jew. I will go to heaven."
Is that an gripping story? You'd think so. Particularly when, in the same city, on the same night, a Jewish woman was brutally murdered in the presence of her daughter by another Muslim. You've got the making of a mini-trend there, and the media love trends.
Yet no major French newspaper carried the story.
****************
Something very remarkable is happening around the globe and, if you want the short version, a Muslim demonstrator in Toronto the other day put it very well:
''We won't stop the protests until the world obeys Islamic law.''

Musenes sammensværgelse
(sammansvärningen av möss)
det skal vel bare spagfærdigt indvendes, at Tom og Jerry ikke er af "jøden Disney", men af Hanna og Barbera. Med lidt hjælp fra Kofi Annan og danske kunstnere, skulle vi snildt kunne "tilpasse" os dette:
Iranian Madness Watch
Professor Hasan Bolkhari, Iranian “mass media expert” and cultural advisor to the Iranian Education Ministry, explains why the evil Jewish Walt Disney company unleashed the ultimate weapon against the Islamic world—Tom and Jerry cartoons.

"Globaliseringen"
»Den primitive analyse af globaliseringen [Ellemann,Helveg, Lykketoft, Auken m.fl.] hævder, at danskerne præges af frygt og derfor siger nej til globaliseringen. Men det er det glade vås. Danskerne siger aldeles ikke nej til globaliseringen. I Dansk Industris Globaliseringsredegørelse 2005 konkluderer man: Danmark er et af de lande i verden, hvor befolkningen har den mest positive indstilling til globaliseringen.
Det danske samfund tager da også del i globaliseringen med stor succes. Men danskerne er meget bevidste om, at man skal håndtere globaliseringen på en måde, så man ikke sætter den danske models kvaliteter over styr.
*********
Man vil ikke give muslimer en særlig vetoret i forhold til en nøgleværdi som ytringsfriheden. Og man vil ikke give køb på den antiautoritære tradition for debat og kritik, som har givet den danske model dens folkelige styrke.
Danskerne reagerer ikke frygtsomt på globaliseringen, men tværtimod selvbevidst. De ser den danske models bærende værdier som en styrke i globaliseringen.«

The End of Tolerance

Lyserøde amerikanske mainstream media, forstår ikke hvad der foregår i europa. Og den smule forstår, bryder de sig ikke om. Man læser dem udelukkende på grund af deres store oplag:
Farewell, multiculturalism. A cartoon backlash is pushing Europe to insist upon its values.
»Welcome to the end of tolerance, or at least to the nonnegotiable limits to what Europeans will tolerate. Whether it's the Netherlands' rediscovery of Dutch communal values, or the universal affirmations of free speech (to mock religion, or anything else), Europe is everywhere on the defensive.
- After decades of relatively unfettered immigration and cultural laissez faire when it came to accepting people of differing values and social mores, there are signs that a potentially ugly backlash is setting in.
-Even before Jyllands Posten published the cartoons last fall, Denmark's Minister of Cultural Affairs Brian Mikkelsen said, "We have gone to war against the multicultural ideology that says that everything is equally valid." These days, he speaks for most Europeans. Danes, and Dutch, and a few other countries might be well on their way to creating multiethnic societies. But make no mistake: they're no longer willing to tolerate a European melting pot—a broadly multicultural society—where different cultures live by widely different norms.«

Om mod

At vove er at tabe fodfæste for en kort stund. Ikke at vove er at tabe sig selv.
Søren Kierkegaard, filosof (1813-1855)

Kun de, der også kender frygten, er virkelig modige, de andre er kun dumdristige. Willy Brandt, tysk politiker (1913-1992)

Mange bliver først modige når de ikke ser anden udvej.

William Faulkner, amerikansk forfatter (1897-1967)

Mod er intet andet end angst, som man
ikke viser. Sergio Leone,italiensk filminstruktør (1929-1989)

Mod er ofte mangel på indsigt, mens fejhed ikke sjældent beror på gode informationer. Peter Ustinov,britisk skuespiller (1921-2004)

Mod er at være dødsensangst og så alligevel sætte sig i sadlen. John Wayne,amerikansk skuespiller(1907-1979)

Annan: Danmark utilpasset til muslimsk indvandring

FN's generalsekretær, Kofi Annan, beskrev søndag Danmark som utilpasset til muslimsk indvandring.

Tankeeksperiment: Er den muslimske verden"tilpasset" til indvandring af 30 mio europæere, der ikke bare insiterer på egneskikke, men også delvis vil leve for værtslandenes regning ?http://www.jp.dk/udland/artikel:aid=3580092
