Plans Announced To Erect Islamic Culture Center On Lars Vilks' Decapitated Body

This is pretty chilling -- the full video of the intimidation of the cops by religious lunatics after the assault on Lars Vilks, and the cops' complete acceptance of that intimidation.

A few points. Vilks' presentation was, in fact, provocative, as it deliberately juxtaposed pictures of Mohammad (?) and praying Muslims with gay fetish shots.

But, as everyone on the receiving end of artistic provocations for thirty years can tell you -- we're supposed to understand that ideas may incite, and in fact that is the very point of them, and that our right to not be offended doesn't trump anyone else's right to give offense.

That lesson was definitely not taught here, as the Violently Aggrieved won the battlefield they turned this university into only on this day, but on future days as well -- the university has decided to put an end to this madness, by which they mean they won't invite Lars Vilks back for any further lectures.

The lesson taught here is, once again, that if Muslims just get violent and criminal, they get exactly what they want.

I'm just curious - I see the police making few arrests here.

If there had been another crowd here -- a fired-up anti-jihad crowd, let's say, which intervened with the jihadists went wild, and started doing their own face-breaking -- how many decades of incarceration do you think they'd currently be facing?

Should the law not be changed to reflect the actual law -- that Muslims are in fact permitted to create disturbances of the peace and commit assault? Because if you trick non-Muslim citizens into thinking these things are crimes, and then they intervene, believing themselves to be stopping crimes in progress... then you're locking them up without fair warning, aren't you?

Eh. They've been warned, I guess. Everyone knows what the real law is.
