'We can't appease a Sharia takeover of West'
"Last week, Danish police arrested three men who were allegedly plotting to murder one of the cartoonists whose satirical pictures of the Prophet Muhammad caused worldwide uproar on their publication last year. Danish newspapers, including some which had originally opposed the publication of the cartoons, immediately responded by reprinting the picture in question as a symbol of their refusal to be intimidated. The national broadcaster showed it too. The contrast with how such a crisis would be handled in Ireland or Britain could not be greater. Here, a mindset of appeasement has taken root. 'Don't upset the Muslims' is our official slogan."
