The forces of reason gaining strength
The mainstream media is focusing solely on the bad news that the crisis has been worsening in the last few days with the rhetoric of some islamist groups getting more and more violent.
Sure stories about islamist gangs hunting westeners in the Palestinian territories is sure to boost ratings but the sole focus on those extremists who support the boycot and the anti-Danish campaign means that there is very little news about the forces of reason who stand up and say no to the insane show of the hatemongering imams.
Angantyr has several examples of a daily growing number of moderate muslims who make their voices heard and joining in the defence of liberal values.
From Angantyrs Hjørne:
The women behind the blog Freedom for Egyptians writes:
Denmark, Don’t Apologize. Stand for what you believe in, you take pride in your freedom then let it happen. If Muslims think that their lives are hung on one stupid cartoon, it is because we have nothing else to take pride in. It is not about Freedom of Expression. Denmark, you negotiate or compromise your Freedom of Expression with peoples and regimes that apply Freedom of Expression and that speak your language.
Oh and BTW, I am a Muslim and I love Danish Cheese.... Yummy!
