    “I put in at least 100 hours fighting this guy. He may want to run away from this issue, but I’m not going to. His values are out of sync with Canadian society.”
    Wouldn’t it be kick ass to see the Canadians grant recovery of his costs. That might put a crimp in future stupid muslim lawsuits.

    Danes have a long tradition of bravery…
    from Wikipedia, about King Christian in WWII

    In contrast to the monarchs of Norway and the Netherlands, who went into exile during the Nazi occupation of their countries, Christian X remained in his capital throughout the occupation of Denmark, being to the Danish people a visible symbol of the national cause. Though his official speeches were often little more than an echoing of the government’s official policy of cooperation with the occupying forces, this did not prevent him from being seen as a man of “mental resistance.” In spite of his age and the precarious situation, he took a daily ride on horseback through his city—not accompanied by a groom, let alone by a guard.

    King Christian when ordered by the Germans- to identify Danish-Jewish citizens - by forcing them to wear an arm band with the blue star of David - he went before his citizens gave his famous speech WEARING the S of D arm band on HIS arm.

    Former Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant absolutely should pursue Calgary Muslim leader Syed Soharwardy for his contemptible attack via the the equally contemptible Alberta Human Rights Commission. Like all bullies, they want the risk of their bad behavior to be borne by their victims. Soharwardy wanted to make a cheap attack on the free speech of Levant. When it failed, he decides to pull out. Levant should make Soharwardy pay a price, make an example out of him, as a warning to the other Muslims who are waiting in the wings, seeking to make similar attacks on free speech. Attacks on free speech should be made risky and expensive for the Muslims who make them.

    You don’t need to keep linking to your post. I read it the first time. I guess I’m falling into some trap. I still say if you’re telling someone they’re not acting like a good Christian then you’re questioning exactly that. Now you say you’re questioning her wisdom. Maybe that’s what you should have said to begin with.
    I’m still curious about what you think of the people who threaten to kill the individuals who publish these cartoons? Since we agree to disagree about Michelle Malkin, address that issue instead.

    One of the purposes of government is to protect its citizens. I find no protection in antagonism. It seems counter-productive.

    Christians are called to be peacable (no, I’m not a pure pacifist). Again, that’s not accomplished through antagonism.

    I say (loudly) May God Bless Denmark and all her people! And May God Bless Michelle. She is a model of patriotism with a backbone of stainless steel.

    We will not submit.

    My opinion of Islam is low. And it is they who insult the non-islamic world around them. Not the other way around. They hate non-believers and disrespect those who are not like them. Reading Robert Spencer’s “Blogging the Qur’an” since May 2006 has been very enlightening. If they have a problem with democratic freedom of speech then they have a problem with me.

    Collin

    Today I must take issue with Michelle Malkin. Her republishing of a cartoon that insults Mohammed is wrong. This is not the type of material that a Christian should support or take part in.

    I would ask Christians to take the imperative of the Gospel to heart and not participate in this behavior. The Gospel of Grace and Redemption is the core of the evangelical world view.

    grace (grās)
    n.
    A disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill.
    Mercy; clemency.
    A favor rendered by one who need not do so; indulgence.

    re·demp·tion (rĭ-dĕmp’shən)
    n.
    Christianity. Salvation from sin through Jesus’s sacrifice.

    Christians have a justification for fighting evil. The world was not designed with evil in mind and the believer has a real basis for fighting evil. He is not following the belief that whatever is, is right. God does not desire evil nor does he ever condone it. He hates evil, and the Christian also is not only to despise evil, he is obligated to do something about it. Even though sin is real, it is not something that the believer accepts as the way things ought to be. By identifying with Jesus, the believer has a duty to call things wrong that are wrong and to speak out when evil is overtaking good. The Christian is not fighting against God, by fighting evil. Terrorism should not be the accepted order of things, because it was never meant to be and they will not be in God’s future kingdom. The fact is Islam, Muslim faith is evil and must be exposed for what it is, whatever the medium, cartoons, writings, speech or film. Should we make fun of Islam? The answer lies in the reaction that Islam and Muslim undertake, perpetual outrage.
    Threats, violence and murder is their response you figure it out genius.

    My question

    I’m just curious, Collin, what do you think we can do about the Islamists? If we don’t convert to their way of thinking, they will kill us. If we do convert, we lose our freedom. Those are the only two choices I see.

    Your “answer”

    One of the purposes of government is to protect its citizens. I find no protection in antagonism. It seems counter-productive.

    Christians are called to be peacable (no, I’m not a pure pacifist). Again, that’s not accomplished through antagonism.

    What Michelle published did not accomplish the goal of government and, as I stated, seems to contradict the purpose of the church

    You’re welcome to stand by and let these Islamists shove their beliefs in your face, but I won’t. There is NO defense for what they do.

    How is Michelle the government? It’s not her responsibility to protect us. Read your quote before you respond because that’s what you said above.

    I can respect someone for being a peaceful person, but you’re just plain delusional if you think by not printing these cartoons they’ll go along their merry way and leave us alone.

    Collin, this thread is not about the Christian response to the threat lf Islam. This thread is about supporting and upholding the democratic principles of free speech and expression. If you want to debate religion, let’s ask Michelle to start a new thread.

    navywife91,
    Your question addressed “freedom” and that goes to our system of government. So I answered that concern as best I could.
    Your question also dealt with our ability to “convert” and that goes to the theological. Hence the otehr part of my answer.
    You may not have liked my answer, but I did address the specific issues that you raised.
    I have no delusions that the passive, naive, and manipulative approach of the defeatist Dems will make them just go away. My motivation is this: I’m responsible for my own integrity and to clarify what I believe to be true.

    Collin

    This will be my last post because we’re just going in circles and venturing into the OT area. I don’t understand you and I’ve reread your posts many times. It wasn’t that I didn’t like your answer, it is that your answer did not address my sincere question to you. I was truly interested in what/how you think up until now.

    If we are to be forced to accept a despicable, offensive representation of Jesus as art then the same level of art representation must be acceptable for any other ideology.

    That includes any art media presentation.

    First, I can’t believe it has been two years ago, Michelle. I do remember your showing the cartoons on a Fox show by holding them up on camera. I knew then that I was going to be a long lasting fan of yours. You are to this day, one of the “gutsiest” blogger/commentator in the country. Keep up the good work.

    I have nothing against Islam or Mo. What I am against, and very much so, is the ones who use Islam and Mo to further their own meglamaniac behavior and power/money ambitions. Those are the ones who need to face the Judgement. Selling one’s soul to achieve power is the biggest sin. To use innocent people, children and women included, to promote oneself is worthy of death themselves…the 4 deaths of a traitor.
