Eurotards Dismiss Attack on Danish Cartoonist

The Eurosnob has an intellectual arrogance which has diminished the continent's influence from worldwide to a narrow sliver of irrelevance, fingerpointing at the real world powers [USA, China, India, Russia] and verbally chastizing them for their transgressions. Long long gone are the days of gunboat diplomacy!

But the morons keep popping up, usually with French monikers, as these people are the shallowest of the shallow. A clown named Justin Vaisse got an article into Foreign Policy, that yawn-producing spawn of Richard Holbrooke back in the early '70s, condemning those misled observers who believe that the onrush of Islamic immigration into Europe isn't good for the Old Farts living therein. And then the crotch-bomber and the attack on Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard inserted a slice of reality into the Eurotard Vaisse's Pollyannish Panglossian reveries.

But author Bruce Bawer found out that the demon of PC has deep roots in Scandanavia, as the success of his friend Hege Storhaug's book But the Greatest of All is Freedom; On the Consequences of Immigration. Hege's book had outlined the horrific male chauvinist pig practices of Muslim men toward their chattel females:

females who are confined to their homes, who are denied educations and careers, and who are the victims (or potential victims) of honor killing, genital mutilation, forced marriage, and sundry forms of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Hege's book suddenly became a huge and controversial best seller and:

...at the time, Hege lived in a neighborhood called Kampen, a part of Oslo that brings to mind the Haight-Ashbury or East Village of the 1960s. Hege notes that after her book began to sell big—and draw harsh media attacks—her neighborhood was papered over with posters featuring a photo of her with an X drawn over her face, along with the slogan NO TO RACISTS IN KAMPEN. Then one day—as Hege revealed in a powerful account posted yesterday on the website of Human Rights Service, the small foundation where she works—one or more people broke into her home, beat her, and left her bruised and unconscious in a pool of blood on the floor. Nothing was stolen. The date was January 1, 2007—three years to the day before the attempted murder of Westergaard.

At first, Hege kept the crime secret, for fear that publicizing it would discourage other critics of Islam from speaking out. Not until a month later did she report the brutal event to the police, and then only after a lawyer friend had secured a guarantee that the report would not be made public. But the steady rise in Muslim violence in Europe, culminating in the Westergaard attack, helped changed her mind about publicly revealing the assault. She also wanted to underscore the fact that many in the media—people like Vaïsse, I might add—were by their see-no-evil approach to the subject encouraging physical attacks on people like her and Westergaard. This state of affairs, she felt, needed to be addressed publicly and its real-world consequences made clear.

As a matter of fact, Hege does not believe that she was the victim of Islamic immigrants in the brutal bloody attack that left her unconscious on the floor with no memory of the incident:

The fact is that for years Hege has been the target of a ruthless, tireless, and breathlessly mendacious campaign of criticism by the far-left Norwegian media. She’s become Public Enemy Number One among not only radical Muslims but also Communists, socialists (whose numbers in Norway’s capital are not insignificant), and what Hege calls “organized anti-racists.” These are members of Scandinavia’s many government-funded organizations who claim to be liberal opponents of racism but are in fact largely concerned with defending even the most illiberal aspects of immigrant cultures. Indeed, Hege doesn’t believe that her assailants were Muslims; she suspects that they were far leftists of the sort who proliferate in neighborhoods like Kampen and who have made common cause with European Islamists. Hege is also convinced—as am I—that the media’s concerted effort to identify her as a racist and Islamophobe influenced her attackers. This is not difficult to believe: it was, after all, the Dutch media’s demonization of Fortuyn that helped put him in an early grave instead of in his country’s prime ministership.

In her Monday post, Hege suggested that if all the influential newspapers in Europe had published the Danish cartoons, “it would have been much more difficult to build up the increasingly brutal climate we see now all over Europe: the fact that people are not just the subjects of attacks, and of attempted murder, but are denied virtually all personal freedom in their daily lives, so that Westergaard cannot set foot outside his home without the police on his heels, just as Robert Redeker is living underground in the homeland of Voltaire.” And she asked: “Will Europe manage to set its foot down strongly enough . . . that there will be no doubt that the continent never will give up its founding values? Or will the commentariat and political elite continue to give way, inch by inch . . . ?” Any of us, she warned, can end up a Kurt Westergaard if we dare to speak our minds. But don’t tell that to the “experts” at Foreign Policy.

It appears that the two World Wars of the Twentieth Century cleaned out the majority of European males [and females] with any moral courage and intestinal fortitude.

Now only cringing cowards and socialist/communist woman-beaters are left---soon the Eurotards will have morphed into Arabs themselves!!!
