VIDEO: STANDING UP IN FRANCE

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 12, 2006 09:20 PM

There are a few brave men left in France. Hooray! Two of them–dressed in pro-Denmark shirts and gear–went to the Islamists’ demonstration over the Mohammed cartoons at the Place de la Nation in Paris, France this weekend. Take a look at what happened to Arthur Wneir and Erik Svane:

No Pasaran has the story of the Danish-American and French-American’s peaceful stand against the angry Islamists here. The intro:

“An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth!” Echoing protests around the world and wearing all kinds of costumes from the Middle East and the Muslim world, 4,000 Islamic demonstrators march through Paris denouncing the cartoons and the alleged (and convenient) lack of respect towards Islam.

When they arrive at La Nation, they are met with two figures wearing slightly different costumes and slightly different signs.

One, in red and white, is (silently) wearing a sign with the Danish flag saying “Support Denmark, Support free speech”. Besides (silently) wearing a sign reading “Free Cartoonist” on it, the other, the founder of the BAF protest warrior-type organisation, is holding a (fake) severed hand, a pen among its fingers.

Voices start to ring out. “It’s provocation!” “You tread on 1.5 million Muslims!” “Connards!” “Rat faces!”

Read the whole thing, then head over to the Brigade de l’Argent des Français blog for another firsthand account (scroll down for the English language version). Send both sites your thanks and praise.
