Expert on free expression: ”Nothing but an outright lie”

The February 5th assassination attempt on Lars Hedegaard, editor-in-chief of Dispatch International, was reported all over the world. There was a remarkable difference, however, between the way in which the Swedish media and international media handled the news. While international media systematically called Hedegaard “an Islam-critic”, or even “prominent Islam-critic”, Swedish media chose just as systematically to use the loaded term “enemy of Islam”.

Several Swedish newspapers also chose to publish various versions of the story from Swedish national news agency TT, which contained this wording:

”Lars Hedegaard, once convicted for racism, has been subject to an assassination attempt. An unknown man reportedly shot at Hedegaard outside his Copenhagen home.

”The author Hedegaard is one of the few Danes who is a certified racist, as he some years ago was fined by a High Court for having stated in a blog interview that Muslim fathers rape their children. He was later acquitted by the Supreme Court.”

The truth is that no conviction of Lars Hedegaard was upheld. The charges under to the Danish “racism clause” were rejected without dissent by the Supreme Court, which thus invalidated the High Court conviction.

  1. Europe is not finished. It just needs to wake up from its slumber. The ruling elite are well aware that Islam/sharia is the anti-thesis of everything a liberal democracy represents, humans rights, individual freedoms etc. etc. Yet, they actively promote and protect this creed knowing that it cannot be reconciled into a liberal style democracy and conflict will be inevitable. You see: this did not happen by accident or even recklessness. it was carefully engineered. Like a game of chess, the ruling elite- control both sides of the conflict and the end result. Invariably this results in less freedom, less human rights for everyone, including the Muslims and more power for the Marxists tyrants. Checkmate!

  2. Marge that is an excellent analysis, I wish more people understood this, however I am not sure the left will be the winner.
