Gathered in Copenhagen “for a conference of terror attack survivors, artists and journalists vowed to continue fighting for free speech, despite a wave of violence targeting critical voices.”
Last January, one of Charlie Hebdo’s most outspoken journalists quit her job because “it has gone soft on Islamist extremism. Zineb El Rhazoui accused the weekly of bowing to Islamist extremists and no longer daring to draw the Prophet Mohammed.” Then she was threatened by Islamic State supporters who called for her murder by “lone wolves.”
Westerners are losing freedoms, slowly slipping into the shadows of dhimmitude. Already, Islamic supremacists have managed to force their values upon infidels through their “Islamophobia” drives. All religions can be criticized, but not Islam; human beings can be violated and murdered in accordance with Islamic religious edicts, while infidels must “shut up for the good of diversity.”
“The Terror Attack Survivors Who Refuse To Be Silenced”, Agence France-Presse, January 14, 2018:
COPENHAGEN: Gathered in the Danish capital for a conference of terror attack survivors, artists and journalists vowed to continue fighting for free speech, despite a wave of violence targeting critical voices.
“We are all targeted, indiscriminately, and the more of us choose to stay silent, the more dangerous it becomes for the few who continue speaking out, like me,” said Zineb El Rhazoui, a 35-year-old journalist from French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
She was on holiday on January 7, 2015, when jihadists broke into the Paris offices of the magazine, massacring 12 people in an attack that shook France and the world.
The assault sparked mass protests and a wave of solidarity, with people across the world adopting the slogan “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie).
“The more of us speak out, defend our freedom and refuse to give up on our liberties, the less the danger will be … focused on certain people,” El Rhazoui told AFP on the sidelines of a conference hosted by the Danish parliament on Saturday.
Her commitment to her beliefs has not come without a cost; everywhere she goes, she is accompanied by security guards.
Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who in 2007 sparked controversy with his drawings of Muslim Prophet Mohammad, said nothing would change if he stopped working.
“If you stop, the things going on will not stop,” Vilks said.
He has also been the target of several attempted assaults, the latest in Copenhagen in February 2015, during a conference dubbed “Art, blasphemy and freedom”.
‘That was it’
Like El Rhazoui, Vilks leads a complicated life. Under constant surveillance, he must coordinate with his security guards in order to plan his day.
“If I have forgotten to buy some milk, I cannot actually go out and buy the milk, and I cannot in practice call the bodyguards and say ‘I want to buy some milk’,” he said.
“As a film … you have to plan your days in a certain way,” the 71-year-old added.
But after surviving an attack, some people choose to move away from activism.
Patrick Piscot was just 18 years old when he survived the July 2011 bomb and gun massacre by Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Behring Breivik that left 77 people dead.
Breivik was sentenced in 2012 to 21 years behind bars.
“If you survive something I believe that it is your responsibility to get over it in your own way, you have the key to how you want to change your life,” said Piscot, who decided to ended his political activism soon after the attack.
“I continued to participate in AUF (the Workers’ Youth League in Norway) for three weeks or months after the massacre, but that was it…..

Islam – A religion that anyone has a Right to follow . The problem , those who chose to follow Islam . DON’T have the Right to take away everyone else right to follow Jesus , Judaism or any other religion .
When the Religion of Peace killed the Buddhist and the Hindus , I said nothing , because I was not a Buddhist or a Hindu .
When the Religion of Peace killed the Atheist I said nothing , because I was not an Atheist . When the Religion of Peace killed the Jews I said nothing , because I was not a Jew .
When the Religion of Peace came to kill Christians . I tried to say something . But ended up dead . When the Religion of Peace started to kill each other , because they disagreed with each other . They both spoke up , yelling Allah Akbar at each other . Killing themselves .
Now that everyone is now dead . There is now Peace on Earth .

No Todd….Everyone will not be dead..Christ and His Army and followers will be here. Those in the Lake of Fire will be the dead ones. What a travesty, the loss will bring tears to the eyes of all, EVEN NOW.

We have a new mosque in the nearest large town, Indiana, PA. It has no advertizing , no signs and there are many hijab dressed women. Of course we can’t identify the men. The local paper says at the mosque thereare little lparties inviting people from the community. I do not go as I know is is all part of the softening up of the local population many of whom are very liberal. It is going to be interesting to see how soon this area has its first jihadi attack. I know for sure the Islamic women going to Walmart are not lovers of people like me (you know, old, white-haired) who really look at them. They slit their eyes and do not smile. Whew. Glad they don’t live next door to me.
MFritz says
The women bring up and educate the children. Without them the system, where most of the (more orthodox) men don’t work at all and the women do all the shit jobs, would collapse.
But most muslimas don’t feel oppressed – or that there would be an alternative. Since this would mean emancipation from islam, family, friends etc.
And once children are there, other priorities will prevail. As – no matter how shitty the father may be – most women don’t abandon their children. Which also doesn’t break the cycle for another generation.
StellaSaidSo says
Well said, MFritz.
gravenimage says
Many Muslim women–despite themselves being oppressed by Islam–are as savage as the men in enforcing Islam, beginning, as noted, with indoctrinating the young.
simpleton1 says
and many of the women are ok with fmg for their daughters, and often are the ones that organize this.
If not too much blood squeamish, a habit learnt from living in the western world, would commit that practice on their daughter.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yes, don’t under estimate the vicious hatred that the female muslims can generate.
There is no difference between them and that lady in Gaza who hope all 13 of her children will kill themselves while blowing up Jews.
Total evil.
Save Europe says
Spot on !
WorkingClassPost says
Bodega, perhaps you should go to one of their little gatherings and ask a few questions that might make others think. Nothing too confrontational, but be ready to gently challenge stuff that they come out with.
I know one woman whose husband went one such ‘open day’, and was told that they revere Jesus, aka Isa, he then started spreading this to all his friends (and wife) as though that makes everything wonderful with islam! Even a simple ask like “Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross?” would’ve been enough to expose their duplicity.
But, if you do go, don’t start saying things like: “I’ve heard that mo was a peadofile.” That’s probably just looking for trouble.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Sounds like what was going on in a large mosque over in Oregon that i read about.
Funded by Saudi Arabia, hating all kaffir, utterly two faced lying cheating disrespectful con artists, deceiving everyone they talk to, spreading nothing but contempt and division, while breaking every law they need to.
Sorry the plague has reached your town Bodega
Save Europe says
Spot on! They stripped Isa of his divinity, and via Taqqiya, espouse that they revere him. If they did, there wouldn’t be so much vandalisation of Jesus statues in Western churches, by Muslims.
jinn says
Not yet anyway!!!!
concerned citizen says
May God comfort all victims of violence; may they find peace of mind and love!
As for us, let us not remain silent; let us continue our fight against all negative ways of thinking, which, at present, include Leftism, Islam, Marxism, and others! We should not be ashamed nor afraid to make clear, while it is still possible, that we are against all of this,, wherever and whenever it is convenient,
There may come a time when such opinions (against PC) simply won’t be tolerated… It seems that, in some places, this time has alerady arrived… I sincerely hope to be wrong in saying this…
Let us be firm in the good fight, for our moral and cultural values! That is what we can do. God help us”

Free speech is not available under a regime that creates “hate” crimes. The UK is making an industry of “hate” crimes. Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, says in her video:
“We know it is often difficult for individuals to come forward and report hate crimes, but we would encourage you to do so, and we will work ….to make it as easy as possible.”
See youtube:

“.“no evidence is needed” to initiate an enquiry,”
Nice, what a lovely way to work towards a cohesive and trusting society.

Yes, they had a wreath laying ceremony recently to mark the anniversary, but it was the usual pose for the cameras routine by Macron & co.

……………………
Absolutely spot on. Kudos to these brave journalists and cartoonists!
Rob says
But this applies to every-day folks too, If we every-day people, we regular folks on the street, remain silent in what we believe is our safe little corners of the world, we will ultimately find out that there are NO safe little corners left!! Many Germans remained silent, thinking that Hitler could never sway and subjugate their entire nation – but he did.

True, Rob.
I’m an illustrator and cartoonist myself–but yes, this applies to everyone.

I believe “we the people” have to get the word (video) out in what ever way we can to the threat of Islam.
Before…It’s too late.
I do believe a LOT of people are starting to wake up to the threat of Islam.
Thank God!

Time for all Americans, who love their Country to wake up ,and start makin’ a lot of noise, (as we are trying to do), don’tcha think???
