“We feel certain now that it was a politically motivated attack, and thereby it was a terrorist attack,” said Thorning-Schmidt. But actually, it was a religiously motivated attack. Islam is the only belief-system that mandates violence against those who commit the crime of drawing cartoons of Muhammad and those who commit the crime of being Jews. Thorning-Schmidt’s denial of manifest reality only aids and abets the advancing jihad.
“Police Say They Killed Suspect in 2 Attacks in Copenhagen,” by Steven Erlanger, New York Times, February 15, 2015 (thanks to Bill):
LONDON — The Copenhagen police said on Sunday that they had shot and killed a man they believed carried out two attacks that left two people dead, one at a cafe and one outside a synagogue, and wounded at least five policemen.
The first attack took place on Saturday, when a gunman sprayed bullets into the cafe where a Swedish cartoonist who had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad was speaking, killing one man. Hours later, early Sunday, a man was shot and killed outside the city’s main synagogue, according to the police.
Dan Rosenberg Asmussen, a leader of Denmark’s Jewish community, told the Danish public broadcaster DR that the victim at the synagogue was a young Jewish man who was guarding the entrance of a building adjacent to the synagogue. He said that some 80 people were inside the synagogue at the time, celebrating a Bat Mitzvah, and that the police had been asked to provide protection after the cafe shooting.
The dual attacks in Copenhagen had a copycat resemblance to last month’s attacks in Paris, which began with gunshots aimed at cartoonists and followed with gunshots aimed at a Jewish target.
Later Sunday, Jorgen Skov, a police inspector, said at a news conference in Copenhagen that the police had shot and killed the suspect after he opened fire on officers near the Norreport train and subway station in the Norrebro neighborhood. The shooter was confronted by the police as he returned to an address that they were keeping under surveillance, Mr. Skov said, suspecting that the man had been involved in the killings. The police have no indication for the moment that other suspects were involved, he said….
Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark had earlier on Saturday called the shooting at the Krudttoenden cafe a terrorist attack and said that the nation was on high alert. “We feel certain now that it was a politically motivated attack, and thereby it was a terrorist attack,” Ms. Thorning-Schmidt said.
Speaking to reporters in Copenhagen on Sunday, according to Danish television station TV2, Ms. Thorning-Schmidt said: “This is not a war between Islam and the West. We will do our best to defend our democracy and Denmark.”
The Swedish cartoonist, Mr. Vilks, was unharmed in the attack but said that he thought he was the target. “What other motive could there be?” he told the Associated Press.

“This is not a war between Islam and the West”
The Danish PM is whistling in the dark, she is saying what she hopes is true rather than what she fears and in her heart probably knows is true, that Islam and ALL mohammadans are enemies of the West and of all humanity and must be at war against us until the Day of Judgement by the explicit order of their bogus prophet and his sock puppet Allah.
This “whistling in the dark”, not Leftism, Liberalism, Cultural Marxism or any other “ism”, is mainly what is hindering and sapping the will or our Establishments to deal with the problem of the millions of mohammadan enemies in our societies once and for all.

tan says
But is anyone listening. Should have reverberated through western press, yet barely a mention…maybe because it undermines the rhetoric of western leaders, the ‘ it’s nothing to do with islam bit, for whatever the latest atrocity committed is by a moslem….if ‘its nothing to do with islam ‘, then why any need to reform/change islam.
I would doubt Sissi’s reform islam message is getting much muslim press either.
Brave man.

Obama Lies when he says there is No War with Islam and North America! There is Definitely a war going on with Muslim Terrorists, Islam teachings from the Koran and MUSLIM TERRORISTS wont come from his mouth because he favors them and cannot pronounce any open judgement against his ideals who intend to rule the world in Shiria law under a Caliphate. Anger should be against SATAN who Muhammad listened to in getting the passages for the Koran [he admitted] and inventing a higher deity called Allah just to back u his lies and preposterous statements and contradictions and out right lies! Satan told Muhammad he was Gabriel, and so was deceived by the Devil once more! Look at how many are following these poor misguided souls to hell where Satan will spend eternity in the flames with them. Remember TERRORIST MUSLIMS and Islam LIARS from what the Koran teaches them to do!

There is always a price, there is no free lunch, so it is with indigestion I tell you to make that fifty shades of pay.

Message to all Western elites who keep exculpating Islam: Get your head out of your ass.
Just because most Muslims don’t themselves kill in the name of their wreteched faith doesn’t mean Islam doesn’t require this most everytime it doesn’t get its way. Remember, most Marxists never themselves killed members of the upper classe though Marxism calls for the brutal elimination of these classes. And most Nazi Party members before and during WWII didn’t themselves kill Jews though Nazism called for the complete subordination or elimination of them.

There is a stand-up clown born every five minutes. That was a great joke Ms. Schmidt, though it resembles an earlier one by Mr. Cameron, another comedian in the UK. Nevertheless, your joke sounds better, as they say, it is the way you tell them.
The only problem is Ms. Smidth, joking is over. We are at war with Islam. If you want to win the war and do not like to see ISIS successfully expanding to your country, then it is time to pop your head out of your @ss and smell some fresh air, that may channel some oxygen into your brain. You need to understand, sorry my Danish is not up to scratch, we are at war because Islam declared a War against the freedom of speech.

CogitoErgoSum says
I see that this news report, as do many others, refers to Muhammad as the “Prophet Muhammad.” This is NOT politically correct. Christians and Jews DO NOT accept Muhammad as a prophet and many of them find the term offensive. Since somewhere around 5.5 billion people on this planet DO NOT think Muhammad was a prophet would it not be less offensive to a greater number of people to use the term “False Prophet Muhammad?” Yet the New York Times, AP, Reuters and other news organizations use the designation “Prophet Muhammad” just the way a good dhimmi should. Think about it, you people who report the news. I have and your reporting is disgusting!
Wellington says
One thing that’s a safe bet, CES, and that is the media will NEVER refer to the “Lord Jesus Christ” or even “in the year of our Lord…..” as the American Constitution does in Article VII. I always have to laugh when some rube says that the Constitution doesn’t mention God. Oh yes it does. As for Mo, I’m willing to put the “P” word before his name but only if it’s spelled “Profit.”
CogitoErgoSum says
Wellington, I’ve noticed that the use of C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before Common Era) have begun replacing A.D. (Anno Domine or Year of our Lord i) and B.C. (Before Christ). I suppose that is the PC thing to do but why? Why is it considered PC to propagate the belief that Muhammad was a prophet? A news report would never refer to Jesus as “the Messiah Jesus” or “our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Instead, Jesus would be designated “the man whom Christians believe to be the Son of God”, or “the man whom Christians worship as their Messiah.” However, Muhammad is nearly always “Prophet Muhammad” instead of “the man whom Muslims believe to have been a prophet.” It probably does have to to with profit ….. and a desire by publishers to avoid being given the Charlie Hebdo treatment. Be well, my friend.
Champ says
Interesting comment, CES!
Wellington says
Echoing Champ, CES, as far back as the Eighties, I started to get textbooks that used the silly C.E. and B.C.E. designations. I always told my students they were free to use such chronological references but that I, proud Neanderthal that I was, would continue to use A.D. and B.C., if for no other reason than that it seemed to annoy the hell out of those who insisted on the C.E. and B.C.E. designations.
I noticed that through the years fewer and fewer students picked up on the humor fully intended in this statement of mine, but then as the years went on I noticed too that students in general no longer knew who Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis were, or who Augustus was, or where the North Sea was located, or what the capital of Idaho was, or who Charles DeGaulle was, or what the Cuban Missile Crisis was all about, or who Charlemagne was, or…., or…., or….. But they sure knew about computer games and so many of the folks regularly mentioned in popular magazines like People and Us. I concluded, in part because of this decline in general knowledge, that I might be a witness to the beginning of a new Dark Age.
And so when the small college where I taught forced me into early retirement a few years ago, got rid of the Western Civilization course which I taught for almost thirty years and, in fact, got rid of any history requirement whatsoever, I was reinforced in my belief that the West in general is in huge trouble, the continued exculpation by Western elites of the spiritual fascism which is Islam serving as just one more testimonial confirming my darkest suspicions. You know, the older I get the more I sympathzie with Boethius, though I don’t indulge myself to the extent that I think I’m headed for the same demise as he was. But then, one never knows. You too be well, my friend.

The fact is that “Muslim extremists”—active Jihadists—are acting on the same texts and tenets as every other Muslim.
The fact that some Muslims are regarded as “insufficiently Islamic” by their more devout coreligionists in no way renders Islam benign, nor does it mean that such “moderate” Muslims—Muslims who are not currently waging active Jihad—actually oppose such action, or are likely to defend us from their more pious fellow Muslims.
And why would they? They would be acting counter to the tenets of their own avowed faith.

Well, this is true as far as it goes—instead, it is a war by Islam on the West, with the West only responding in the most limited and purely defensive manner.
Of course, this is not what the Danish Prime Minister is implying, which is just more of the increasingly implausible assertion that Islam is a “religion of peace” that somehow has absolutely nothing to do with the mushrooming savagery done in its name.

Of course we are not at War with Islam, they (the Adherents to it) are just kicking, as it were, goading, slapping, pushing The West, as they choose to.

Mark Smith says
Not a war between Islam and Western Culture?
Cultures justify and authorise terror the individual adherent ‘Few’ deliver it, as individuals or in groups.
Individuals simply do not come up with such politically motivated terrorist mental schema on their own be it secular or religious.
The reason why the violence exists is not an education, employment opportunity or mental health issue it is because as with slavery in the USA two diametrically opposed cultural values exist in the same space.
Whether we like to admit it or not the liberal-moderate end of a genocide construct adhere to the exact same construct as the radical end, in time as in Australia that position becomes manifest.
“Hizb ut-Tahrir is not against freedom of speech, he, they are actually pro-freedom of speech” Grand Mufti of Australia
“Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks a ‘cure’, says leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia Ismail Alwahwah”
The Islamic ‘rational’ model definition of Freedom is clearly diametrically opposed to the Western ‘rational’ model of Freedom.

Treating violence derived from terror utilising a ‘harm minimisation’ appraoch condemns humanity to increasing killings in cafes and elsewhere. Where there are never enough programs, money or security apparatus.
A war is currently occurring in Western Public Squares for the retention of the Western scientific method of “Duty to Doubt” Be doubtful, Be skeptical, Be critical, against the increasing imposition of the Tyranny method of “Duty to Certainty” Be certain, Be compliant, Be silent, assisted in major part by our very own Western inept cultural gatekeepers.
Cultures have no ‘Master Plan’ there never is but there is invariably a cultural codex stipulated principle ALL should convert to the True belief,
http://citizensfirstasnau.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/cultures-have-no-master-plan-there.html
The West is at war with Islam we always have been there has only ever been a lull in proceedings. Face it or more will die as you must know given you are aware of the policy direction you have chosen to follow Not Islam.
Like all harm minimisation progames if the reason for the ‘harms’ existence still exists outside without restriction, in this case the Islamic codex construct of Other, nothing will change only possibly slowed – this is what you are promising us – more terror.
Thank you so much.
Theyarestirringthepot says
Oh contraire. That is EXACTLY what this is…a war on Islam. Nothing more, nothing less. Actually, to be more specific and accurate, it is a RESPONSE to Islam’s war on the world. You, as an elected leader, can do all you can to try to paper it over in the hopes of stopping a full out response from non-Muslims, but with each passing day that will be the logical outcome. Islam started it. Others will end it.

I see that she’s a social democrat, a left-wing socialist, so she’s obviously going to toe the PC multicultural line. She says we are not at war with Islam, so like many other leaders she kicks this enormously dangerous problem into the long grass. But, she does admit it’s a terrorist attack, so it’s progress of a kind. I guess she would look far too stupid if she was to claim otherwise. I suppose I find it a relief when the authorities don’t trot out one of the tedious excuses like “he was just a mentally unstable lone wolf who misunderstood Islam”. Thank goodness for small mercies!
