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.

Every Mafia killing was sanctioned by dons in who-knows-what country. Mostly by Italians, but some by Jews.
ReplyDeleteDo 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?
