Viva Ayaan Hirsi Ali!

In the context of fear and chilling winds (real ones not the those wagged in the far out imagination of the American Left) Ayaan Hirsi Ali puts herself at risk. This is a lot more than we can say for the Boston Globe and The New York Times.

Shame on those politicians who stated that publishing and re-publishing the rawings was ?unnecessary?, "insensitive", "disrespectful" and "wrong". I am of the opinion that Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen of Denmark acted correctly when he refused to meet with representatives of tyrannical regimes who demanded from him that he limit the powers of the press. Today we should stand by him morally and materially. He is an example to all other European leaders. I wish my prime minister had Rasmussen?s guts.

Shame on those European companies in the Middle East that advertised "we are not Danish" or "we don?t sell Danish products". This is cowardice. Nestle chocolates will never taste the same after this, will they? The EU member states should ompensate Danish companies for the damage they have suffered from boycotts.

Liberty does not come cheap. A few million Euros is worth paying for the defence of free speech. If our governments neglect to help our Scandinavian friends then I hope citizens will organise a donation campaign for Danish companies.
