In Scandinavia, this has been the summer of Koran burnings – scores of them. Opponents of Islam, and of the steady Islamization of Western Europe, have chosen this means of protest – which is usually carried out in public squares, or in front of mosques or important government buildings, in some of the region’s larger cities – to register their hostility to the totalitarian ideology spelled out in Islam’s holiest book.
These burnings have occasioned extensive (and often intense) domestic debate and discussion, not to mention displays of outrage by Muslims around the world, who have called for these burnings to be outlawed and for the perpetrators to be punished. Iran has called Danish and Swedish diplomats in on the carpet to castigate them, and Iraq has expelled Sweden’s ambassador. Instead of asking how the rulers of such ghastly rubbish heaps can dare to treat free Western nations in such a manner, both Denmark and Sweden have buckled under the pressure. Fearing that acts of Muslim terrorism may well be around the corner if they don’t act to curb civil liberties, both countries’ governments have been moving toward criminalizing the burning of Korans.
Denmark’s deputy prime minister, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, has said: “It is a cornerstone of our democracy that you have the right to express yourself. You also have to behave properly.” Note to both of these stalwart gents: it is not for governments to tell free people what it means to be “civilized” or to “behave properly.” Besides, if they and their ilk cared so much about everybody being “civilized” and “proper,” why did they invite armies of backward savages to become their “new countrymen”?

The Muslims aren’t really the problem - it’s the global elites behind the scenes, who in their megalomaniacal arrogance think they can manipulate the world to serve them in a Utopia of their own creation, who “invited the armies of backward savages in” to the West in the first place - who are the problem.
