Amend or Else

Pakistan has sent a delegation to the EU demanding requesting that freedom of expression be abolished restricted. According to a report in Pakistan's Daily Times:

The delegation, headed by an additional secretary of the Interior Ministry, will meet the leaders of the EU countries in a bid to convince them that the recent attack on the Danish Embassy in Pakistan could be a reaction against the blasphemous campaign, sources said.

They said that the delegation would also tell the EU that if such acts against Islam are not controlled, more attacks on the EU diplomatic missions abroad could not be ruled out.

Let us hope that this is merely poorly worded journalism. Otherwise, this smacks of being an ultimatum.

Pig Pee Plastic

A Danish company has developed a process to turn pig urine into plastic.

They've finally come up with a way to get me to switch to paper bags.

Oops

A lesson from Denmark: Wind power; good. Too much wind; not so good.

Living In Their Own Little World

And now it's guess the caption time from the AP. How do you think the flag burners in this photo were referred to? Guess again:

Pakistani human rights activists burn a Danish flag at a protest rally to show their anger over the reproduction of Prophet Muhammad cartoons in Denmark, Thursday, Feb. 21, 200, in Gujaranwala, Pakistan.

Human rights activists? Somebody needs to increase his medication.

Copenhagen Bombing

A bomb has destroyed a solarium in Denmark. No one was hurt and two "foreign looking" men were seen fleeing the vicinity.

Since we are not "really" at war, this was obviously an hallucination.

Update: Meanwhile, one of the Danish cartoonists is homeless because he's "too much of a security reisk".

Reuters Enigma

Reuters reports on the seventh night of rioting and burning by "youths" in Denmark:

Bands of youths set fire to cars, buses and schools in Denmark on Saturday, the seventh night of rioting and vandalism in the capital Copenhagen and other Danish cities, police said on Sunday.

So far, business as usual. But in paragraph seven, this peculiar non sequitar showed up:

Social workers said an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist for his drawing two years ago of the Prophet Mohammad might have fuelled the riots. Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoon on Wednesday in protest against the plot. What is this doing here?

What on Earth do cartoons of Mohammed have to do with rioting "youths", who are no doubt confirmed secularists and can trace their ancestry unbroken to King Ongendus?

Someone should look into this mystery.

"Youths" Riot in Denmark

If you get your news from the mainstream outlets you may not be aware that "youths" of indeterminate religion have been rioting and burning cars and schools in Denmark for five nights.

The money quote is from Chief Inspector Henrik Olesen of the Copenhagen police:

We don't know why they're rioting. I think it's because they're bored. Some people say it's because of the cartoons but that's not my opinion.

Boredom? Such denial hasn't been witnessed since Stalin acted all surprised when the Wehrmacht rolled over his border.

Cartoon Counterstrike.

Danish police arrest three Jihadists who plotted to murder one of the Mohammed cartoonists. Did the Danes:

1. Do an Archbishop of Canterbury and grovel in the name of "social cohesion."
2. Reprint the cartoons "to show their firm commitment to freedom of speech."

They chose 2.

That's Civilisation 1, Barbarism nil.

Tales of Future Past: Danish Style

If you're in Copenhagen, check out the Post & Tele Museum, where images from Tales of Future Past are being showcased.

End of shameless plug.

Danish Courage

The Danish national library will house the Danish Mohammed cartoons so that they will be "kept safe for future generations."

I think I'll nip out for some Heineken.

Kingmaker

Guardian headline:

Muslim politician could be kingmaker in Danish elections

I don't know anything about Mr. Naser Khader, the Muslim Danish Member of Parliament in question; he may well be a sound fellow who has declared war to the knife against the Jihadists and I'm perfectly happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.

However, in the current situation, and especially in Denmark where a 25-year-old social worker from the far-left Red-Green Alliance candidate declares that if elected to Parliament she will show in a hijab, it is a telling illustration that Muslims in Europe do not have to obtain anything like a majority in the population to wield political power and there is no guarantee that that power will be benign.

Hans Christian Andersen, Call Your Service

Copenhagen's The Little Mermaid statue was found Sunday sitting on her rock dressed in a Burqua.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised that the police had the nerve to remove the garb. Whether this was Sharia zeal or Nativist protest, it's an apt symbol of Europe in the 21^st century.

Tip o' the hat to Eldias for the story and headline.
