Denmark: Gunman shoots at counter-jihad leader Lars Hedegaard, misses

"He was fined 5,000 kroner ($1,000) in 2011 for making a series of insulting and degrading statements about Muslims." Note the bias. "Insulting and degrading" according to whom? Islamic supremacists have a long history of considering truths about Islam that they would prefer not be known "insulting and degrading" when noted by non-Muslims.

This AP report also says that the International Free Press Society "claims press freedom is under threat from Islam." Obviously it is: the bias of this article shows that.

Hedegaard, who hosted me to speak in Copenhagen in 2009, was not cowed by the attempt to silence him through legal means. Now it appears that the foes of free speech are ratcheting up their war against those who defend it.

"Report: Gunman fires at anti-Islam writer, misses," from the Associated Press, February 5:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Danish media are reporting that an unknown gunman has tried to shoot a Danish writer and historian who is a prominent critic of Islam.

TV2 News and the Politiken news site say Lars Hedegaard was not injured in the shooting.

Both say the gunman came up to Hedegaard's Copenhagen home Tuesday on the pretext of delivering a package, and then fired at least one shot but missed the writer.

Copenhagen police confirmed that there had been a shooting without injuries. They wouldn't say whether Hedegaard was the intended target.

Hedegaard heads the International Free Press Society, a group that claims press freedom is under threat from Islam.

He was fined 5,000 kroner ($1,000) in 2011 for making a series of insulting and degrading statements about Muslims.

"They wouldn't say whether Hedegaard was the intended target".

Hmmm, must be a jewish plot again.

The gunman may be unknown, but his employer is Allah...Allah has a long history of employing Mahoundians to kill kuffar, especially those directly waging war on Him (Allah)...

They always scream 'Islamophobes', when in reality they should be more afraid of people like this shooter who have the phobia of truth. Most Muslims have that phobia that is why they fly into murderous rage whenever they hear the truth.

On a danish medias (TV2) facebook site they put this article, and it didn't take long before a muslim wrote a comment saying: "Ærligt manden er selv uden om det, haha havde jeg selv en gøb så skulle han se", which means "Honestly it's the mans own fault, haha if I had a gun, then he should see".
Really scary we got people like this in Denmark.

Of course the most disturbing part of this article is the last sentence. I find it shocking that citizens of Denmark apparently do not have freedom expression when it comes to criticizing the most dangerous intrusion into Western nations, that of Islam. Islam for anyone who has studied it is a totalitarian ideology that experts define as being more than 85 percent political and maybe 15 percent religious-- As they grow in percentages they will do everything they can to undermine government and they will do it aggressively, they are intolerant and they use the warped perversion of political correctness to their full advantage.

No matter the insidious nature of Muslims in the West, they shall legally remain protected by the 'religious cloak', there is a need for a paradigm shift here.

Danish Police have confirmed the incident and that it was "a foreigner", about 25 years of age.
According to the 70-year old Hedegaard the gunman missed his first shot aimed at Hedegaard's head, Hedegaard struck out at him and it came to a scuffle. The weapon then misfired and the gunman ran off.

But I thought that Europe had no gun crime because of its strict Obama-like laws.

And meanwhile back in Britain as if worrying about excitable Muslims wasn't enough we've also got the authorities jailing white working class for objecting to our multicultural paradise.

There's a very good take on this in:"Two Racist Crimes" at:

I feel for you guys. You are in deep s..... but don't give up. That what Islamists want you to do.

"Hedegaard struck out at him and it came to a scuffle. The weapon then misfired and the gunman ran off."

Lesson one: These people are cowards; if we fight back, they'll run like rats.

Lesson two: We, or at least the vast majority of us, are more cowards for not fighting back.

Hedegaard heads the International Free Press Society, a group that claims press freedom is under threat from Islam.

Freedom of speech is anathema in Islam, especially if it addresses truths about the 'religion of peace' and it's violent dogmas. The penalty is death. Islam never disappoints when it comes to violence and death. Just Allah's way of doing things by proxy, shooting and blasting as they go, crazed Muslims doing Allah's will with murderous intent. Murder, rape, pillage, scamming, enslaving, mutilating, oppressing, crying victimhood, obfuscating, for their primitive pseudo-religion... Nothing to see here, same old, move along.

Any chance the media will dignify this incident with the appropriate phrase "attempted assassination"?

HOLGER DANSKE VAAGNER!

The West's MSM 'reporting' of this Islamic jihad murder attempt on
a non-Muslim critic of Islam echoes the editorial agenda of Islamic Al Jazeera:-

- the victim (non-Muslim) is not really a victim because
he 'insults' = criticises Islam;

and,

- the attacker was merely a 'gunman', no hint he was probably a murderous jihadist.

The self-censorship of many of the West's journalists is not only ludicrous but dangerous.


Yep, it's like they're justifying the murder of non-muslims by muslims, just because they supposedly "offended, insulted... etc" these savage pedophile worshipers.

Islam induces psychosis wherever it goes, both in Muslims and non Muslims alike. we must somehow find a way to break through this pattern and wake up. truth is the ultimate antidote however we do need to find a way to address the patterns of the Western psyche which prevent us from seeing the truth about Islam. we need both spiritual and psychological help to get there. I am not at all joking. all the best to Robert and everyone on this blog.

Guess "Allah" wasnt willing. ;) Hope they catch this soldier of Allah, and soon. Too bad Lars didn't fire back. Of course, if he had, he'd probably be in jail right now. I wouldn't doubt it.

I hope Lars has a video camera set up to capture anyone who appears at his doorway. Video camera--a necessary tool of the counter-jihadist.

I would think that the pronunciation of "Hedegaard" offers English-speakers a few problems, to the point that a Dane simply wouldn't understand what is being said.
Two different d's, two different e's and an unknown wovel, ouch.

Translation of mortimer's comment:
HOLGER THE DANE WAKES UP
- from the casemates of Kronborg Castle in Elsinore.

The paradigm shift will not happen simply because protection to one religion (in this case Islam) confers protection to all religions.

And since religion is primarily a tool of population control, governments have vested interests to ensure that religion, all religions, are kept beyond criticism, even such an obviously evil and retrograde one like Islam. That is why you will not hear leaders of the Christian religions in the West denouncing blasphemy laws etc. All religions stand to benefit.
