Excerpt:

On August 31, 2007, the Islamist website www.ekhlaas.cc, hosted by SiteGenie LLC in Rochester, Minnesota, posted a document calling for "martyrdom [i.e., suicide] operations" in Denmark. The author, who identified himself as a member of Al-Qaeda, urged the Muslims not to forget the incident of the Danish cartoons, and promised the people of Denmark that the "brigades of martyrdom seekers are on their way... and will soon carry out blessed operations" in their country. He called on the Muslims to register on the site as candidates for these suicide operations.

#2 Funny how they mention cartoons in that excerpt and yet forgot to blame Haliburton and Bush's poodle Tony Bliar. Someone must have forgot to send al Qaeda the memo.

#3 martyrdom seekers

What a bunch of medieval ignoramuses. Can we just martyr them wholesale in their mosques and madrassas right now? Spare the cafe diners and bus passengers in our own country?

#4 6 of the 8 arrested were citizens of Denmark.

I wonder is Denmark administers a loyalty oath to people becoming citizens. If not, they should, then have a muslim ask for a Fatwa on whether you should lie on your loyalty oath. Wait for the affirmative answer.

Then change immigration laws accordingly.

#5 mhw, it doesn't matter what they say. A Muslim can say anything that will help advance Islam. "Truth", "lie" - it doesn't matter.

#6 mhw, it doesn't matter what they say. A Muslim can say anything that will help advance Islam. "Truth", "lie" - it doesn't matter.

Rambler, that was mhw's point. Wait until the imam issues a fatwa declaring that it is all right to lie when taking a loyalty oath. That would tend to make the Danes a wee bit peevish.

That Islam awards itself this incredibly unfair advantage of church sanctioned deceit and perfidy is what makes Muslims intolerable in modern society. There many other undesirable aspects to Islam but taqiyya and kitman represent an insurmountable barrier to any trust whatsoever. This renders Islam a threat at all times no matter the situation. The West has yet to understand this by even 1%.

eLarson, I'm beginning to think it's one or the other.

#9 Victor Borge's Piano

Is nothing sacred!?!

My Danish grandmother used to go see Victor back when he performed in Copenhagen under his real name, Borge Rosenbaum. The Nazi occupation of Denmark provided Borge with an abundant supply of material for his comedy sketches until certain chaps in brown shirts made it quite clear thatshould he keep skewering the Third Reicha lampshade figured prominently in his future.

Denmark's loss was our gain and Borge went on to have the longest running one-man comedy show in all of Broadway's history. One of Borge's jokes about the piano:

Here I am in the airport and this nice fellow in line before me says to his wife, "I wish we had the piano here". I'm thinking to myself, 'How wonderful that this man recognizes who I am and wants all of us to enjoy some of my music.' The man's wife turns to him and asks, "Why do you want the piano, dear?" He replies, "Because our airline tickets are sitting on it."

And another:

"The people at Steinway have asked me to inform you that this is a Baldwin piano!"

Contrary to popular belief that Borge hammed it up on piano because he could not play a piece all the way through, he was in fact a superb concert pianist of international stature.

Many years before my grandmother's death, my sweetheart and I took her to see Victor Borge one more time. As an ardent fan of classical music, never have I enjoyed hearing it mutilated so skillfully. Truly, he was and forever shall be Denmark's "Clown Prince".

#10 Where is the outrage? These were just peaceful Danes going about their business. They were under surveillance, their rights being trampled. Next those evil Danes will open up a prison for enemy combatants and go to war with no justification whatsoever.
