Mohammed cartoon controversy comes to Canada: Security concerns cancel 2 Lars Vilks dates
NB: Lars Vilks, Mohammed Cartoonist, will be in Toronto Sunday Oct 3. Ticket information here.
“It appears that Mr. Vilks is considered a very high security threat by U.S. law enforcement, and it was decided that they would cancel because they could not secure the event to everyone’s liking,” Ambrogio said.
Much more information is available at Gates of Vienna:

Dereliction of Duty
The onus should NEVER be on the speaker to pay for security against leftist and/or jihadist thugs who use threatened or actual violence to suppress the freedoms of speech, the press, and assembly.
It is the job of the government to round up, arrest, try, and imprison (or deport) ALL lawbreakers who suppress our freedoms by threatening or committing violent acts, regardless of the religion or ideology espoused by the perpetrators.
Our public safety authorities have completely failed to do their jobs. There is absolutely NO excuse for this!
Update: Beeduwine points out:
Vilks is no cartoonist. He is an artist, art critic, art history phd, writer and debateur.

Hey Carter, ‘Palestine’ is a region, not a country. Let the ‘Palestinians’ go back to Jordan or wherever they’re from. Better yet, let some of the Arab or Muslim countries turn some land over to the ‘Palestinians’ for a homeland.
I know, Carter’ll never pull his head out of his @ss. He’s just a typical left-wing Jew hater.
Hey Daisy Khan says she gets death threats too, but loves this country so much she won’t have body guards. Yeah I didn’t get that logic either. Well other than Islamic death threats are a lot more credible as they tend to actually whack people. Empty threats, or made up threats probably, are not that alarming.
@ mfhorn:
Carter doesn’t want “Peace” in the Middle East, he wants a Judenrein Middle East. That should really have been the end of all negiotiation with the Palestinian animals. It amazes me to see the same freaks who call Israel an “apartheid State” have no problem whatsoever with the Palestinians demanding a Judenrein Palestine. Maybe if the Palestinians would use the German, so everyone would understand the dog-whistle they are really blowing…
I do think that putting the head of the Prophet on a dogs body is an insult to dogs.
By bowing to the threats & denying this man an opportunity to
speak, Canada trashes its ideals.
She also went on to say that she did not want to stick the taxpayer
with the bill for her bodyguards.
Why wouldn’t she provide her own protection?
She knows that she is in no danger & only made this claim
to insult Hrisi Ali who does have bodyguards.

There’s a reason why law is enforced by the public, and not charged off to the private sector, and it’s an old legal doctrine that a crime (as opposed to an infraction) is an offense to the entire public, and not just the victim. By trying to selectively enforce criminal law like this, they’re undermining one of the most basic elements of law.
This is also why that was complete bullshit that the city of Gainesville sent that Jones guy a bill. It’s not done that way, and it’s never been done that way. When a city incorporates, and choses to provide police protection, they agree to provide it to all, free of extra charge, as a service to the larger community to provide for peace and domestic tranquility.
They’re reneging on a covenant that they’re committed to. But then again, there’s a lot of that going on these days. Welcome to the Animal Farm.

@ MikeA:
The reason 9/11 didn’t wake people up was our leaders kept people asleep. They said Islam was peace and told Americans to keep shopping. Then they let in more Islamic Immigrants and have made them a priviledge class in America. The next attack, our leaders will not be able to control America’s rage.

The Saudi government had declared following its weekly cabinet meeting that Israel’s settlement construction undermines the renewal of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians, and called for a building freeze for the sake of the future of the negotiations.
In an official statement, the Saudi government called on the international community to “force Israel to halt construction, which is aimed at changing the reality on the ground.” (AFP)
Ya know the Saudis are such useless piece of shits, that I amazed they don’t hire or demand that someone wipe their royal asses?
@ RIX:
Agreed. The reason Hitler is so well known is the German efficiency tied to the Holocaust. They documented everything. Add to the the “industrial” nature of Final Solution”. Creating camps just for the industrial execution of humans really got people. But what we don’t hear about very often is the Ensanzgruppen in Eastern Europe that went in first.
Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao also did their killing behind a curtain of secrecy. If the Nazis had won the war, they would probably be spoken of in the same way as the previous 3.

Commies were “smart” about it. They allowed the slaves to expire naturally from hard labor and disease instead of going to an extra expense of actively exterminating them. Talk about getting more bang for the buck. ALL of Soviet industrialization in the 20s-30s that was so lauded by air-headed Western “intellectuals” was built on brutal slave labor. Regions got quotas on how many able-bodied (or able-minded, depending on the project)humans to arrest and sentence.

Remember?
So Carter is all recovered from his virus and the first thing he does is to promote the idea that Jews can’t be allowed to live in certain places (like the old RESTRICTED neighborhoods, hotels and country clubs where the policy was NO JEWS ALLOWED).
Carter is one of the most politically correct politicians of all time and he’s promoting the idea that Jews in particular must not be allowed to live wherever Jews want to live.
The Arab world is expecting to get away with this at the UN Security Council too. They want an official restriction on the planet Earth about where Jews are allowed to live.
Their primary target is JUDEA -- the exact place where Jews got our name “Jews” (“Judeans”).
The planet Earth won’t spin properly if the JUDEANS are allowed to live in JUDEA.
Carter and Obama are up to their necks in this.
The tiny Jewish people must be prevented at all costs from living on our ancient tribal land in Judea.
It’s mind-boggling.

When Sarah Palin looked the American people in the eye while giving her speech at the Republican National Convention rather than doing the ping-pong match watching head turns that Obama does even when he’s talking to 6th graders -- I knew she would reach a lot of people in a big way.
I can’t stand to watch Obama speak. I’m sick of seeing his right cheek then his left cheek then his right cheek, ad nauseum.
Palin’s teleprompter at the Republican National Convention was getting ahead of her a bit due to the applause but she didn’t need it. She looked right at us (through the camera) instead.
It’s no wonder that she drew amazing crowds every time she appeared in person. She connected with a lot of people by way of her common sense and her directness.
Account by Scaramouche, Canadian blogger on both Lars:
It was a Lars double-header in Toronto last night as Lars Hedegaard, of the Danish Free Press Society, and Lars Vilks, the Swedish artist who got into a spot of bother with the zanies when he sketched a be-turbaned man’s head on a dog’s body, were able to speak as planned. The Larses (Larsi?) had been slated to speak in Boston, Philadelphia and Ottawa too, but due to, ahem, “security concerns” (“security concerns” being code for and a manifestation of our de facto dhimmitude, as more and more often these days the fear-averse in the democratic West crumple in the face of supremacist threats) those other IFPS-sponsored events were cancelled. Luckily, Toronto was able to muster plenty of muscle (burly JDLers along with hired private security), and the riff-raff were either kept out, or didn’t bother showing up. (Who knows, maybe they’d attended the George Galloway lecture earlier in the day and, since old George can talk your ear off about Zionist perfidy/Palestinian vicitmhood/Jason Kenney--the Galloway trifecta--they were plum talked out come evening.)
Anyway, Danish Lars provided a snapshot of life in dhimmified Denmark--and it’s a mighty grim picture indeed. Free speech all but shut down, a casualty of a pervasive and suicidal political correctness. Pockets of the land ceded to Muslims and sharia law--”no go” zones--where Danish police fear to tread. Opponents of the sharia imperative derided and marginalized as “bigots,” perhaps charged with a “hate crime” (as Hedegaard has been), while the intolerances of Allah’s all-compassing law-for-all are all but ignored. And if you have the misfortune to be a Jew in Denmark, it’s much, much worse. Your kids won’t be able to attend many public schools in Copenhagen (those “security concerns” again) and the one Jewish school, tucked away behind high walls and barbed wall, looks more like a prison camp than a place of learning. And don’t expect any help from the land’s Official Jewry. The chief rabbi, Lars informs us, “is in cahoots” with the Islamists. So if you’re looking for the Denmark of old, the Denmark that stood up en masse to the Nazis to save its Jews, you will no longer find it. In one of history’s bleakest ironies, the land that once had balls enough to tell say “bite me” to Hitler is now, says Hedberg, giving up its Jews without a fight.
After Danish Lars’ spiel I was thoroughly depressed (not least because his remedies for what ails us--demand a rollback of hate speech laws; put legal instruments in place that strengthen the rights of citizens; if all else fails, get a gun--were rather a downer). Fortunately, Swedish Lars came along to lighten the mood. The two Lars were a study in contrasts--the Danish Lars impeccably groomed, dressed soberly and neatly, in dark suit and tie, serious both in demeanour and speech; the Swedish Lars dressed casually, looking like he hadn’t swung by the barber’s the barber in quite some time, puckish, kind of silly, all in all the antithesis of serious. That’s because Swedish Lars is an artist. Not a cartoonist. An artist. And he considers everything in which he’s involved, including his appearance last night, to be part and parcel of his art. I have to say that as a survival strategy, especially when there’s a fatwa and your head for drawing a few sketches of Muhammad’s head on a doggy body, such solipsism--seeing yourself as the still, quiet centre in a vortex of hysteria, an artistic vortex of hysteria--is one of the best. So, now, how did these sketches, drawn in what Vilks describes as an “expressionistic” style, come to be? There’s a rather complicated back story, a shaggy dog story, if you will, since it involves a huge wooden doggy statue--Vilks’ “pet” project for some decades--and something called roundabout dogs. A quirky Swedish folk art phenomenon, roundabout dogs are homemade dog sculputes created by amateur artists that are placed in traffic roundabouts. Apparently, they are--or were--all the rage in Sweden, springing up in droves, origin unknown, when people were asleep. (Vilks showed us slides of some of the canine creations.) Apparently, Vilks’s sketches, which he drew for an art exhibition in Norway, were a cheeky reference to both the roundabout dogs and the Danish Motoons controversy. The sketches, which Vilks admits weren’t very good (he says his four-year-old daughter could have drawn them) would have languished in obscurity, along with their creator, had not a Swedish newspaper discovered them and featured one in an article about whether artists should be allowed the freedom to “insult” religion. That was enough to alert the zanies both Muslim and P.C. to the Vilks “blasphemy,” with predicably incendiary results. Soon enough, Vilks was being slammed by the Sweden’s political and intellectual elites, he became the subject of some very rude cartoons drawn by Muslim ‘toonists, and religious nutters in places like Pakistan and Bangladesh set Swedish flags (one, strangely enough, coloured a non-Swedish green) aflame. Also, Vilks found himself with a fatwa on his head, and was whisked away in the dead of night by Swedish police who told him THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER and that YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR IDENTITY AND GO INTO HIDING. Vilks declined to do either, viewing the maelstrom that had sprung up around him as art--art of a particularly chaotic and highly conceptualized nature, yes, but art nonetheless. He did hide out a friend’s house for a short time, but since the Swedish media kept writing that Vilks had gone into deep hiding, and had even gotten vicious dogs for protection (actually, the dogs shown in photos with him that turned up on the ‘Net belonged to friends), he figured it was safe to return home because that’s the last place anyone would be looking for him.
Through it all, even as he checked under his car for bombs as instructed by Swedish police (Vilks showed us a picture of him doing so) Vilks remained amused and unflappable, adamant that his art was life and his life was art. The only occasion that gave him pause--and I include here a riot on the campus of Upsala University when during a Vilks appearance--was when the “Jihad Jane” plot was uncovered; it was one thing, explained Vilks, to be wary of Muslims who might want to kill you, but it was quite another for your assassin pool to now include blonde chicks. In Sweden. He even remained true to his art when a couple of young Muslims engaged in their own type of performance art and tried to burn down Vilks’s house. Alas for them, they were amateur artists--and not even of roundabout dog calibre. One of them managed to set himself on fire, and, in his haste to remove his flaming, melting clothing, left his wallet and house keys for police to find. Under the terms of Sweden’s excessively lenient laws, the two were sentenced to a mere two years in the slammer,
Vilks wrapped up his presentation with a short film he had made--more performance art. The film featured some drum majorettes wearing exceptionally short skirts (very “cheeky”) interspersed with clips of quotes uttered by Swedes about Vilks. The words of one those quoted, a Swedish politician I believe, were sung/spoken over an old Fred Astaire film clip (of Fred dancing to “Puttin’ on the Ritz”).
So now what--for the Larses and for us? Well, Danish Lars, as I mentioned, will be put on trial for hate speech in his native land (as Geert Wilders, another truth-teller whose “blasphemy” cannot be tolerated by dhimmis and their overlords, is on trial in a now pathetically dhimmified Netherlands starting today). The Swedish Lars still has a fatwa on his head, still a pariah in Sweden, and still committed to getting on with his art. He’s even decided to return to Upsala U., scene of some particularly overwrought “art,” for another “debate”; barring more “security concerns,” he’ll be there this Thursday. So far he seems to have weathered the storm very well, in his uniquely artistic fashion. Debbie downer that I am, however, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that it’s all fun and games and Fred Astaire until some jihadi nutjob (who can’t do what you can, backwards and in heels) with a sharp blade sneaks up behind you and cuts off your head. That said, it was both delightful and thrilling to be in the presence of someone who, knowing that reality, refuses to be cowed. “The right of artists to have freedom of expression must always be defended,” he declared, words that are pure poison to the jihadis, and pure oxygen for all freedom-lovers.
Ok, so who do I have to sleep with around here to get a correction regarding Vilks being labelled a cartoonist?

@ MikeA:
Have you ever known a Muslim woman who has been part of a multiple wives situation in her own life?
I know an American woman who was approached and converted to Islam in America to become part of a multiple wives arrangement in Saudi Arabia (Mecca).
It wasn’t a love situation. The Saudi Arabian man was probably attracted to her because she has very pale blue eyes and blond hair. He said he would take care of her in Saudi Arabia so she converted and married him. She was part of a four wives arrangement and she bore him two children.
I think she saw the offer of marriage in Saudi Arabia as an adventure and a drastic change. I think she saw herself as becoming some kind of princess.
It was NOT a fun situation, though. She had no privacy and her possessions were taken at will by other wives and the children of other wives. She wasn’t allowed to teach her own children English because they suspected that she would talk privately to her children about the other wives and their children. She was fluent in Arabic and spoke to her children only in Arabic. They still don’t know English.
After 5 or 6 years, the husband decided to dump her. She lost her children and every single thing she owned in Saudi Arabia. She went to live with some people who’d given her a room in Mecca so that she could be near her children.
Then another Saudi man came along who said he was looking for another wife and she was married again. This time she had four children before the husband dumped her. She lost all four of these children and all her possessions this time too.
She returned to America. She has some contact with at least one of her children on the telephone, but she’ll never see any of them again.
She was chosen to bear children and to put up with the intrigue that goes on when four people share the same spouse.
Her choices were incredibly unfortunate but her descriptions of life in this situation were eye opening. Women are not treated well in this culture in general but this polygamy situation is really rough on women in particular.
