Lars Hedegaard is one of those handful of European voices who have had the courage to speak out about the threat of extremist Islam within their society. As such, he lives under the threat of death in his own country-Denmark. This week, he narrowly escaped death.

You know what this is? It is Sharia in action. Hedegaard, in the eyes of the extremist clerics and their followers, is guilty of a capital crime under sharia that pertains not only to Muslims, but to non-Muslims as well.
Blasphemy.
Like Lars Vilks in Sweden and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, Hedegaard has to live under the threat of death fatwas issued from far-off lands because he has the courage to tell it like it is.
Keep this in mind the next time you read about the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) crying "Islamophobia" when a state tries to pass legislation to keep sharia out of our laws and out of our courts.

Let's see, you are afraid that without special legislation, our courts will spontaneously devolve into arenas where angry Salafists will summarily execute people accused of...
No, Gary, this isn't Shariah in action. This is some self-righteous hot-headed fanatic expressing his personal view of Shariah.
Was Ted Kaczinski an example of the Endangered Species Act in action?
(Miggie might say yes... but that's Miggie.)
Siarlys,
The act in Denmark was sanctioned and ordered by clerics in who-knows-what country?
Who told Kaczynsky to do what he did?
What happened in DK has also happened in UK with Salmon Rushdie, Holland and Sweden. Sharia prescribes death to blasphemers, be they apostates or non-Muslims. Don't forget the Egyptian death sentences to Terry Jones and those involved in that video.
Every Mafia killing was sanctioned by dons in who-knows-what country. Mostly by Italians, but some by Jews.
Do we blame all Italians, all Jews, all persons who speak in any way of "honor"?
(I know about honor killings... does that now mean that the very word "honor" is suspect in all uses and all contexts?
