Lars Vilks, Swedish Cartoonist: “We must not give in”

Stand for freedom!  This is great to hear the Swedes standing firm.

It’s funny how liberal leftists and Islamic apologists preach  TOLERANCE for Islam, yet Muslims continue time and time again to preach INTOLERANCE.

When will the talking point leftoids get aclue?

Mr Vilks, who lives in an isolated area of Sweden, has been given police protection. He said: “I suppose you could say I was an easy target. But I am not paranoid. I think I possess a healthy rationality; I know that there are some risks involved but one should not exaggerate them either.”

But he added: “We must not give in. I’m starting to grow old. I could die at any time — it’s not a catastrophe.”

Great attitude for a guy with a personal bounty on his head.

Also he’s getting support from his country men:

A leading Swedish daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, yesterday republished the cartoon in an act of solidarity with the local paper that first printed it.

Thorbjörn Larsson, the editor, said in an opinion piece: “We live in a country where freedom of expression is not dictated by fundamentalists, nor by governments. To me, publishing it was the obvious thing to do.”

The daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet urged Swedes to defend their right to free speech in the face of religious fanaticism. It said: “Freedom of expression is not a privilege for the media companies and journalists but a guarantee that citizens can have different impressions, numerous sources of information and inspiration, as well as the possibility of drawing their own conclusions.

May as well show our infidels support too and post the cartoon again.  Here it is:
