Danish Artists Fearful of Reprisal

Since the murder of the Islam critical Dutch film director Theo van Gogh, and the violent attack on a lecturer at the Danish Carsten Niebuhr Institute, Danish artists are fearful of criticising Islam.

Author, Kare Bluitgen, is due to publish a book on the profit [sic] Mohammed in two weeks time, but so far no one has agreed to illustrate the work through fear of reprisals from Islamic extremists. According to the author, three artists have turned down an offer to illustrate the book based on their fear of being attacked if they do so.

The president of the Danish Writers Union, Frants Iver Gundelach, said that it is a gross attack on freedom of speech, and the issue will be taken up at the next union meeting.

Where are the "courageous" Hollywood "artists" speaking out against this form of "censorship and blacklisting"?

Hollywood elites were silent when Rushdie was threatened (by IslamoFascists) and silent when Van Gogh was murdered (again by IslamoFascists) and they continue to be silent. It is much safer to rail against the evils of Bush and America, than to rail against the true villains of freedom of expression--IslamoFascists.

We are shown the true face of cowardice and that face, though it may exude beauty on the outside, is wretched and ugly.
