Of Danish Cheese, terrorism, lies, MSM and infidel plays

A Man is sent to jail after eating Danish Cheese in Egypt.

The man, who owns a shop, was seen by neighbors while eating Danish cheese. They asked him why he’s not boycotting Denmark and he answered that he’s just not boycotting it. Later members of Egypt’s notorious National Security police arrived at his place and asked him to go with them.

A good article about the relationship between freedom and terrorism.

Fighting today’s “Terror, Inc.” means responding to a challenge that is new in several respects. The relativists’ admonition that the moves to counterterrorism must not interpret sacrosanct principles in terms of a new – albeit aberrant – situation, are understandable. On this level they demonstrate, if not practical common sense, then at least commitment to our shared values. Nevertheless, the problem resides in the phrase “practical common sense.” That there shall be no freedom for those who wish to use it to abolish liberty might be a commonplace since the eras of National Socialism and Communism.

And about Iran: did the European negotiators knew that Iran was dumping on them?

For the Europeans, it’s an embarrassing confirmation that their “Good Cop” policy has failed. The EU trio, for their own reasons, wanted to believe Iran, even if the evidence pointed towards the theocratic state’s sinister intent. Britain’s government fears another war; France supports a ‘multi-polar’ state, but has always mistrusted Iran; Germany wanted to polish its credentials as a global peace broker.

Are the media undrereporting Islamic radical acts?

British politicians who tell me that there is increasing radical Muslim street violence in Britain that is explicitly motivated by radical Islam but is not reported or characterized as such. Even in its cleansed versions, I am told, these incidents are being extremely underreported.
(...) the threat to the West is vastly more than bin Laden and Al Qaeda (although that would be bad enough.) (…) The greater danger is the ferment in Islam that is generating radical ideas in an unknown, but growing percentage of grass-roots Muslims around the world — very much including in Europe and, to a currently lesser extent, in the United States.

And lastly, another proof of the "growing tolerance": 4 French Muslims demanded that Voltaire's play "Fanaticism or Mahomet the Prophet" should not be read as it is an insult to the entire Muslim community.
