The Islamization of Europe took another big step today as Denmark has surrendered free speech to Sharia Law.
Denmark adopts law banning burning of Koran
and other holy texts
Denmark's parliament on Thursday adopted a law criminalising the "inappropriate treatment" of religious texts, effectively banning Koran burnings after a series of desecrations of Islam's holy book sparked anger in Muslim countries over the summer.

The bill, which prohibits "inappropriate treatment of writings with significant religious importance for a recognised religious community", was passed with 94 votes in favour and 77 opposed in the 179-seat Folketing.
"We must protect the security of Denmark and the Danes. Therefore, it is important that we now have better protection against the systematic insults we have seen for a long time," Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said in a statement.
So incredibly short-sighted!
In practical terms, it will be forbidden to burn, tear or otherwise defile holy texts publicly or in videos intended to be disseminated widely.
Those who break the law, which will be evaluated after three years, risk a fine or up to two years in prison.
So, it's time now for Christians to deliver free Bibles to the homes of every Muslim in Denmark and see what they do with them.
Over the summer, Denmark and neighbouring Sweden became the focus of anger across several Muslim countries after a slew of protests involving burnings and desecrations of the Koran.
Nearly a thousand protesters attempted to march to the Danish embassy in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone in late July following a call by firebrand cleric Moqtada Sadr.
In response to the worsened security situation, the Scandinavian country temporarily tightened border controls, but returned to normal on August 22.
Between July 21 and October 24 this year, 483 book burnings or flag burnings were recorded in Denmark, according to national police figures.
Criticism
Initially announced at the end of August, the bill was amended following criticism that its first draft limited freedom of expression and would be difficult to enforce.
It was originally planned to cover objects of significant religious importance.
The first draft was also criticised by some -- including politicians, artists, media and freedom of speech experts -- as a return to a blasphemy law that Denmark abolished in 2017.
During a lengthy debate in parliament ahead of the vote, opposition lawmakers railed against the government, accusing it of sacrificing freedom of expression.
"It is a betrayal. A huge failure on the part of the government," Inger Stojberg, leader of far-right Denmark Democrats, told parliament.
In 2006, a wave of anti-Danish anger and violence erupted in the Muslim world following the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
"Imagine that we are becoming the generation that curtailed freedom of speech. I hadn't actually thought this would be -- and certainly not after the Muhammad crisis. Back then, we stood firm," Stojberg said.
In neighbouring Sweden, the government has condemned desecrations of the Koran at protests while upholding the country's constitutionally protected freedom of speech and assembly laws.
It has vowed to explore legal means of stopping protests involving the burning of holy texts in certain circumstances.
Denmark is not the only European country to have banned burnings of the Koran.
According to Denmark's justice ministry, eight European countries -- Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania -- do so to varying degrees.
In Greece, for example, the burning of a sacred text can be banned if the act takes place in or near a religious site.

France: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’
enters church, smashes pew, gets psychiatric care
Nice politician Philippe Vardon says: “Yesterday, the Tunisian Aïcha B. broke a pew in the Gesù church in #Nice06, shouting ‘Allah Akbar.’ She was arrested and interned. Mad or Islamist – probably a bit of both, what is she doing in France? I would prefer that we pay for her remigration rather than her psychological care.”
What is she doing in France? Why, celebrating diversity, of course.
And the French, as determined as ever to deny the reality of jihad, have decided she is, like so many other jihadis, mentally ill.
It would be really nice to know how French psychiatrists treat radicalized Muslims. I'm quite sure they have little or no understanding of jihad or the Quran.
It seems quite obvious that all radicalized Muslims are mentally ill to the point of being dangerous to the public, and should therefore be segregated from normal society.

Limoges: he injures police officers after threatening to kill a motorist
and blow up the police station
Translated from “Limoges : il blesse des policiers après avoir menacé de mort un automobiliste et de faire sauter le commissariat,” Le Populaire, December 5, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
He shouldn’t have refused to give him a cigarette. Saturday, December 2, around 10:50 p.m., a motorist was stopped by a 25-year-old young man, asking him for tobacco. Faced with the driver’s refusal, the pedestrian was very threatening verbally, but also physically.
Suddenly, the latter took out two kitchen knives and placed them on the car, indicating that he had not brought them to “look nice” and that he was going to use them. Reported to the Limoges municipal police in the Place Jourdan area, the man was caught. In the meantime, the latter got rid of the knives by throwing them over the wall of a residence.
“Worrying and radical” remarksMunicipal agents found two knives with blades of 20 and 30 centimeters in the courtyard of the residence. Joined by the national police, the municipal officials arrested the attacker, who became increasingly vehement.During his transport to the police station, the man made “disturbing and radical remarks, referring to the Qur’an and infidel dogs, and threatening to plant a bomb at the police station or use a grenade,” according to the police.
Injured police officersArriving at the station, he refused to submit to a blood alcohol test, exclaiming that a Muslim does not drink alcohol, while becoming increasingly virulent. He kicked the police officer who was searching him on the forehead, then bit him on the right bicep. The official, injured in the arm, was given a seven-day ITT. A second police officer was injured during the placement in the cell of the young man who kicked him in the leg, causing him a one-day ITT.In total, three police officers filed complaints for violence or insults and threats. Two other threatened officers, witnesses to the facts and occupants of the vehicle, gave the same version of the young man’s radical threats being “desire to murder.”
Judged on December 7Interviewed, he explained that he did not remember anything because he had consumed a lot of alcohol to celebrate his new job in a brewery. He apologized for what happened. He indicated that he was not a practitioner of the Muslim religion and that his comments had gone beyond his thoughts. However, he admitted all the facts.At the end of his extension of police custody, he was referred to the prosecution and presented to the judge of freedoms and detention. Placed in pre-trial detention at the Limoges remand center, he will be tried on Thursday, by the city’s judicial court, for threatening to kill, carrying a weapon, refusing to submit to alcohol checks, violence against a person holding a public authority, threat of crime or misdemeanor against a person holding public authority and rebellion.
And he will get his wrists slapped with kidd gloves and sent back out on the streets to commit mayhem.
French teens convicted for identifying Samuel Paty to his attacker before 2020 murder
A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers for their role in the 2020 beheading of a teacher by a radicalised Islamist near Paris, in a case that horrified the country.

Samuel Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher, was stabbed and then beheaded near his secondary school in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16, 2020.
Lawyers representing Paty's friends and family hit out at the leniency of the sentences, describing them as "not fitting" and sending "a bad signal".
"A man beheaded in the street is not nothing," said Virginie Le Roy, a lawyer representing members of Paty's family.
She described his family's "anger", "disappointment" and "incomprehension".
Paty's attacker, 18-year-old Chechen refugee Abdoullakh Anzorov, was shot dead at the scene by police.
He murdered Paty after messages spread on social media that the teacher had shown his class cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
'Persistent lie'
The trial was held behind closed doors given the young ages of the defendants at the time of the events.
Five of the teens on trial, who were 14 or 15 at the time of Paty's murder, were being tried for criminal conspiracy with intent to cause violence.
They were accused of having been on the lookout for Paty and identifying him to the killer in exchange for money.
Four of them received suspended sentences of between 14 and 18 months.
The fifth was sentenced to two years in prison, but 18 months of that was suspended and the teenager will be released with an electronic tag for the remaining six months.
"You passed on to the assailant the description (of Paty's) physical appearance and clothing" and the teacher's "usual route" when leaving the school, the presiding judge told the youth.
"You recruited other students to point out" Paty to Anzorov and keep watch for when he left the school, added the judge.
A sixth teenager, a girl who was 13 at the time, was accused of false allegations for wrongly saying that Paty had asked Muslim students to identify themselves and leave the classroom before he showed the cartoons. She was not present in the class.
She received an 18-month suspended sentence.
The court pointed to the role of her "persistent lie" about Paty in the events leading to his murder.
Lawyer for the defendants Antoine Ory called the sentences "just", while admitting they could "never be equal to the infinite and eternal suffering of the civil parties".
Paty had used the Charlie Hebdo magazine as part of an ethics class to discuss free speech laws in France, where blasphemy is legal and cartoons mocking religious figures have a long history.
His killing took place just weeks after Charlie Hebdo republished the Prophet Mohammed cartoons.
After the magazine used the images in 2015, Islamist gunmen stormed its offices, killing 12 people.
In October, another teacher, Dominique Bernard, was killed in Arras in northern France by a young radicalised Islamist.
