#1 It is time to rise up, all of us together,
Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists and others to state loudly and clearly: liberty is our law in Europe.

Women too. We are the largest group with the most at risk.

#2 AT THE STONING

Pharisee: "Mathias, son of Deuteronomy of Gath?"

Mathias (to guard): "Do I say yes?"

Guard: "Yes".

Mathias: "Yes".

Pharisee: "You have been found guilty, by the elders of the town, of uttering the name of our Lord.....and so as a BLASPHEMER!...you are to be stoned to death!"

Mathias: "Look, I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was 'that piece of Halibut was good enough for Jehovah'."

Pharisee: "THERE! He said it again! Did you hear him?"

Crowd: "Yes!...yes!...yes!".

Mathias: "Look, I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying Jehovah".

Pharisee: "You're only making it worse for yourself!"

Mathias: "Making it worse? How could it be worse? JEHOVAH! JEHOVAH! JEHOVAH!"

#3 "All we ask is respect for our rights, which include the right, if need be, to blaspheme."

Until I read this line I was somewhat heartened by the article, thinking some Europeans may have finally awoken to the physical threat islamists pose. But asking for respect for western rights by Islamists is like asking a zombie to not eat my brains because I have such beautiful thoughts.

#4 "What does more damage to Islam: a citation without endorsement from a 15th century manuscript, or the indiscriminate murder of men, women and children in the name of a perverted conception of jihad?"

-I'd say what does more damage to our personal freedoms is guys like this believing that these muslims are perverting the concept of jihad. I'd say they are following jihad to the tee as they've been taught from the koran.

#5 Moniquet is no fool, he's just a republican (small r), and an optimist. He's very aware of the jihad thingie beyond the terror, but he hopes the muslims wishing to join western values he believes in will do so if we stand firm.
He's one of the few anti-idiotarian voices here, don't belittle him because he's not a "kill'em all" guy, please, even if I personally agree it's too little, too late, and the MMM won't come in to save the day.

#7 What does more damage to Islam: a citation without endorsement from a 15th century manuscript, or the indiscriminate murder of men, women and children in the name of a perverted conception of jihad?"

Bottom line. When Islam renounces violent jihad, that last line might make some sense. Until then, jihad is merely another name for crimes against humanity.
