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:

    One of the myths is that Islam has been hijacked by terrorists, but it is their religion, it is straight out of their Koran. Here are quotes from that horrible book of hate, chapter and verse:
    (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]…and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.”
    (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
    (9:30) – “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”
    (48:29) – “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves”
    At no point anywhere in the Koran are muslims enjoined to love their fellow man; in fact, they are told to hate any non believer and to make sure they do not become friends with anyone who is not a muslim. The depths of hatred run very deep in their belief system. Compassion is only for muslims, no one else.
    In other places in the koran, muslims are compelled to murder and kill anyone who speaks against islam, that in the killing of those non-believers they should not think they have killed or murdered but that Allah himself has killed the non-believer.

    Beware. Just becasue every true religion in the world espouses brotherhood of man and tolerance, do not think that this is the case for muslims and islam. It is so unthinkable to the rest of good people in the world. But to a muslim anyone who is not a muslim is going to hell to be tortured for eternity, so what good are we in this world either?

    There are many sites on the internet that go into this in detail. Look them up yourselves.

    (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.”

    This terrorism is proscribed in their book that they believe in. It is not limited to Lars, but even if a muslim were to say convert to christianity, they must be killed for apostacy. There is no freedom of speech in islam, and it is to be (according to their book) IMPOSED on the rest of us with no thought to our beliefs or laws. Theirs is supreme, and that is that. Lars is very misguided if he thinks it is no threat or just them trying to scare him. Even just stopping being a muslim is punishable by death… andy any good muslim is obliged to kill such people whereever they are on earth.

    Wake up. Read their book and find out the truth of their hatred and terrorism. It is a religion of terror. Period. Except to muslims, but even they are terrorized.

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

    What an insanely dumb comment that is.

    “Liberal leftists” are the very ones who would protect the artist. Does that understading not fit with your tunnel vision then, no?

    What is your own suggestion for solving the 'world-jihad' problem anyway? Should we kill all the muslims, yeah? Give all the misguided extremist youth plenty of reason to come after the West.

    “Liberal leftists”, I just wanted to say that again. What does it mean exactly? “Liberal leftists”. Where is the “leftist” bit?? And doesn't “liberal” mean “favoring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression” and hence that “liberals” will be protecting the right to freedom of expression? i.e. THEY WILL PROTECT THE SWEDISH ARTIST.

    I'm sure, that if you are willing to put your name to a blog post, you understand what you are saying… Yes? I mean, you have thought this through, haven't you? Surely, regurgitating a FoxNews slogan on your blog is deliberate irony as it makes you look like a pawn. Yeah?

    Oh, why do I do it. This is a waste of time. I'd have a better debate with a bunch of “leftoid” 3 year olds. The dumb shits.

    “”Liberal leftists” are the very ones who would protect the artist. Does that understading not fit with your tunnel vision then, no?”
    How did you come to that conclusion? It makes absolutely no sense at all.Have various left of the middle parties tried to introduce bills that specifically protect artists from rabid Mohammedan fatwa-ists? Did those mean rightists block said bills in the senate out of spite for lefties and a chronic hatred of Scandanavian cartoonists?
    The day I see Barry Soetoro or any western leader do anything other than make concessions for,or apologise on behalf of Islamic intolerance I'll give it away…..a happy man!

    Lars, Hang in there big guy! In Canada we support the view of the many through freedom of expession. Cartooning and lampooning add to the levity of a nation. Poking fun at people or circumstances, be they political or otherwise allow us to laugh at ourselves. The world needs to stop taking everthing so personally and seriously, we need more chuckles rather than, war and hate and intolerance.

    Bravo! I'm really glad to see Swedish news paper publishing this and upholding the freedom of expression. (Also this website :) ). I'm tired of these religious fanatics controlling everybody with scare tactics. It's time to stand up and say “Enough is enough”. If you are offended by someone's right to speak the truth, go live under a rock or something (as if you already don't). Look I value the human life. I believe it's a gift. Don't waste it spreading hatred and fear. Also the so called “Liberal” media should stop falsifying Isam as a peaceful religion. I bet for any non-muslim when he/she hears “Islam” or “Muslim” the words like “Peace” or “Tranquility” don't come to mind… it surely mush be something like ” Fear” or “Run”. I'm from India and in 60 or so years India has been independent only for 5 years there was a government which had the courage to call spade a spade. The rest of them were all False liberals, Minority appeasing stupid goverments. During 26/11 attacks when so many people lost lives government and media still didn't acknoweldge Islam's violent side. Having personlly lost someone I can tell you.. even the tiniest you respect you have for this religion goes out of the window. We need some kind of divine intervention to save ourselves from these tyranists. Peace.

    Funky – they would “protect the artist” by protetcting everybody's right to their own opinion. Get it?

    They should never need to “introduce bills that specifically protect artists from rabid Mohammedan fatwa-ists” because tolerance OF ALL OPINIONS is the basis for everything. It's only the fascits like you who need specific, long-winded, expensive and time consuming bills to spell this out for you on each and EVERY issue.

  • fodassssssss

    Fuck off Mohammed!!!! I hate fanatic religious!!! suck my dick Mohammed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MOHAMMED

    Look at all these great Christians…Timothy McVeigh, Adolf Hitler, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy… Who wouldn't love these guys? You must be incredibly ignorant to think you have the better religion.

  • JEWHAWK

    Mohammed, it seems that you've got feces inside of your skull instead of brains, so let me
    explain:

    Those Christians did what they did in Jesus' name ?
    NOPE.

    Do muslim TERRORISTS, your brothers, kill in Allah's name ?
    YES.

    Why don't you go and stuff your underware with explosives?

    Islam is a TERRORIST, DEATH-LOVING sect, an authentic DEVIL'S FAN-CLUB.

  • Christine_S

    What are you talking about, Mohammed?? What does Christianity have to do with the names you have listed? What does any of this have to do with this cartoon? Anyway, have you watched the video just posted on the main page relating to this post? Ultra-sensitive Muslims, once again, behaving like dangerous animals. That is the subject. Pay attention. Violent outbursts like this have become so common; security should have controlled this situation with tranquilizer guns.

  • Beejj

    Do you know the names of those who murdered all those people in Iraq just a few hours ago, shitbrain?

  • Christine_S

    That's easy, Beejj! They are all named “Mohammed” something or other.

    “In Canada we support the view of the many through freedom of expession”

    Tell that to Ann Coulter…

  • SirWilhelm

    I applaud your stand against Sharia, but I have to wonder, if you're against Sharia, how can you be a Muslim? In fact, doesn't taking a stand against Sharia make you an apostate? If that's the case, why not just leave Islam altogether? The way I understand it, you already have.

  • Ahmad.IRAQ

    if you don't like Mohammad, you better go fuck your mother, rather than publishing such this bull-shit pics ;)

    Fuck you anyway lol

  • JEWHAWK

    Speaking about mothers, yours complains too much in bed.

    “No.Without vaseline I won't do it !”

    Well, I did it, anyway !!

    Muhamad was the worst man on Earth…a PEDOPHILE…a MASS MURDERER…
    a THIEF… a LIAR…the founder of the biggest SATAN'S FUN CLUB, also known
    as “Islam”.

    Ahmad, do you know the difference between a clogged toilet bowl, crowded with
    fresh-made turds with flies buzzing around it to Islam?

    ANSWER : The toilet bowl.
