First They Came for Ayaan..Don`t Ask for whom the Bell Tolls By Phyllis Chesler
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is begging the EU to undertake the enormous expense of funding her security.
This article, below, suggests that she has begged in vain. Taslima Nasrin has been under house arrest for her own protection in India and has now been advised that she must either accept this or leave the country. (Nasrin lived in hiding for years in Sweden but chose to leave her European haven). Geert Wilders has been (temporarily?) banished from Holland and his film put on hold. Kurt Westergaard , the heroic Danish cartoonist, has been in hiding and on the run for three months. (PJM’s own Flemming Rose has covered his plight and informed us of the principled decision of 17 Danish newspapers to reprint the original Mohammed cartoons).
Either the democratic West will have to fund each person, one by one. Or we will all—millions of us at a time—have to commit similar acts of resistance. If we fail to fund, and absent that, fail to resist, our civilization will suffer a fatal, self-inflicted blow.
