Denmark: Muslim bookseller gets four years for inciting jihad terror

Dec 5, 2014 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

Sam Mansour“I just used the civil rights that Danish society has given me,” Mansour said. Yes, he used them in an attempt to destroy them. He invokes the Muhammad cartoons and says that just as they were an exercise of the freedom of speech, so also were his calls to jihad. The difference is that the cartoons were just cartoons; they were not calls to commit mass murder.

“Danish bookseller sentenced to four years for inciting terrorism,” by Annabella Nielsen, Reuters, December 5, 2014:

(Reuters) – A Danish-Moroccan bookseller has been jailed for four years for supporting and inciting terrorism in posts on Facebook.

A lawyer for bookseller Sam Mansour argued that his Facebook messages such as “We are terrorists, and we are proud” were a matter of freedom of speech, just as Danish cartoonists who drew the Prophet Mohammad in 2005, outraging many Muslims, were deemed to have been exercising their right to free speech.

“I just used the civil rights that Danish society has given me,” Mansour said in his defense statement, adding that he had hurt no one.

But a court in the capital, Copenhagen, rejected that argument and ruled late on Thursday that Mansour had directly incited violence and terrorism.

Mansour’s other posts included “Jihad is a duty”.

He also posted photo-shopped pictures of the severed head of one of the cartoonists who drew Mohammad. The cartoonist’s head was pictured in a toilet and surrounded by flames and blood.

Mansour was jailed for three and a half years in 2007 on the same charge. Both then and in this latest case, the prosecutor suggested he be deported back to Morocco.

Mansour, 54, sat calmly during the hearing, occasionally smiling at his supporters, who were behind a glass partition.

Many supporters were teenaged boys with bushy beards, checking their smartphones and joking with court guards. Among the supporters were six women in black niqabas.

During one of many breaks in the hearing, Mansour spoke with his supporters, one of whom shook his hand through a gap in the partition and told him: “Good things will come to you, Sam”….

    “Danish bookseller sentenced to four years for inciting terrorism,”

    Pres. Obama and Hillary would have APOLOGIZED profusely to the Muslim world for anything at all that might have made this man even consider inciting violence.

      It would have been incitement to hate, islamophobia, racism, intolerance and bigotry weere he to be called “islamic terrorist” or “jihadist” or even “Muslim”. No-no, “the”Bronshoj Bookseller” is neutral and offends noone.

    Show dogs of jihad that sniff parade in the daylight become wild dogs that yelp and prowl at night.

    “NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM”??? You mean a SELLER OF ISLAMIC BOOKS has MISUNDERSTOOD Islam as the political party of JIHAD (armed struggle) against the disbelievers?

    Where did he get that mistaken idea…could it be from the ISLAMIC BOOKS he was selling?

    “We are terrorists, and we are proud”, he wrote. Did he misunderstand Koran 8.60 “Turhibunna” (terrorize them)…???

    “Good things will come to you, Sam”…yes, in jail. “Good night, dear.”

    Lets hope the Danish Police are keeping a close eye on his supporters

      ”Lets hope the Danish Police are keeping a close eye on his supporters”

      Your mouth to God’s ears.

      But they won’t. That would be ‘racist’, and ‘islamophobic’.

      If the ”teenaged boys with bushy beards”, and the ”women in black niqabas” are discovered to be involved in any plots against Denmark and its citizens, then the police, government, and the courts, will be absolutely shocked and stupefied, and speculate endlessly how such a thing could have possibly come about.

      And conclude that Denmark is not doing enough to be ‘inclusive’, therefore must spend millions on special programs to ‘enrich and include’ these vile parasites.

      Apropos of Robert’s commentary:

      ”He invokes the Muhammad cartoons and says that just as they were an exercise of the freedom of speech, so also were his calls to jihad. The difference is that the cartoons were just cartoons; they were not calls to commit mass murder.”

      Exactly. One wonders whether mohammedans are actually **unable** to appreciate this distinction, or whether they are just bullshitting. If unable, just one more indication islam destroys the brain cells and critical faculties. Also of course, islam is a ‘religion’ tailor made for malevolent fools.

      If they are just bullshitting, in this particular instance, ‘Sam’ failed to gull the marks. A pity he only gets four years – sentence served, the creature needs to be deported back to Morocco.

      Incidentally, if that’s an actual photo of ‘Sam’, blech. Why do they all look like they could do with being fumigated, and then a damn good scrub ? His beard looks like a haven for all sorts of unpleasant insect life.

      Hey, maybe it’s rezali !

    Wow the mixed-up mind of a mohammedan is so wrongheaded and neverending, right? …yeah islam and company are such an evil plague on the world.

    NPR had a report from Sweden today. The milquetoast government spokesperson explained that it was difficult for immigrants to assimilate and learn Swedish or English because all they ever hear around them is Arabic. 95,000 more will be admitted over the next year, because “we are very tolerant”.

  7. Steffen Larsen says

    To the surprise of many he was not evicted and sent back to Morocco.
    Not only has he incited terror, back in 2002 he fondled a 12-year old girl. There’s possession of an illegal weapon. Several old sentences for theft, for threatning a woman on her life, for the use of violence.

    Egad!!! Why are these scumbags ALWAYS SO UGLY?!? Nasty nasty nasty looking muzzrats! They have become like the bubonic plague in Europe in the 1300’s… They are the rats carrying the fleas which carried the plague… Their plague on humanity is murder rape pedophilia and burning and looting! People like this book seller make me sick turning democracy on its head to use against the stupid people of Denmark, Sweden , America, UK, et all. We (well our politically correct left wing governments and the UNITED Nations) have willing let them in to our horror upon finding out what scrounges and hateful people they are in reality and the hatred for their adopted countries! This piece if garbage should’ve been deported, never to return again! After his jail sentence but in jail he’s just as dangerous because he is a jihadi and would turn loads if scumbag loser Danes into jihadis… It’s a no win situation.. Like the bubonic plague millions will die before this plague of jihadi muzzrats are put down forever! Drop a bomb, glass over Iran, Iraq and all troublesome nations who support nd outfit these monsters.. They’ve contributed nothing to society, humanity or the world.. But have given us terror, beheadings, genocide of Christians etc. Time to get tough EU USA ETC. Put down these infected rats!

    the danes are not stupid as is being claimed in these blogs. who is stupid? my American fellow citizens—for electing the muslim barack Hussein Obama to the highest post in the land. then for spending billions of us$ to support him and his family beyond the luxury of royalty. when will the western world and Europe awaken to the fact that these terrorist savages must be repatriated to their Asian hellholes? .they are parasites of the worst order and their birthrate is off the charts. once their population reaches 5% of the host country–they own the host country. they will sue, terrorize, threaten, murder, steal until they have subjugated the host country.

      Well said, thanks.

      Note particularly in the article that the Muslims in Denmark [rotten?, correct] are using the very public liberties provided by the Danes against the Danes.

      This also is being successfully accomplished inside our America in that it’s politically incorrect to “offend” these Muslims. Besides, they have votes.

      This is why Democracies which are concerned with this demonstrated interior Muslim infiltration and subversion should turn the tables on the Muslims and use their tactics [in turn] against them.

      Then, of course, expect the usual Muslim shrieks of “Racism”; but never mind, it’s only “Racism!” if it comes from non-Muslims.

      We in the West have been duped by habitually applying Western logic and mores against West/Central Asian mores. We in the West don’t know how to think otherwise. That’s a compliment to us in the West.

      The two Schools are simply incompatible. But, somehow it remains politically incorrect to challenge these butchering Muslims on their terms, not ours.

      A helluva political mess.

        He clearly needs to be in an Islamic State where he will be happily enslaved. They are crazy to feed and house him in their prison where he can convert angry young men into his cause. DEPORT HIM!
