Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

If they feel she’s a threat, then why offer her any protection? What obligation do they have to this terrorist?
Captain -
Even though we may agree to disagree at times, it’s posts like this, and others more inspirational, that keep me coming back for more (and provide interesting dinner conversations). Thanks very much for all that you do on this webspace.

Hard to believe that face and smile could drive a person to do harm, just saying.
I guess Belgium doesn’ t have any laws against “inciting….”
Whose lost civilization? Hers (such as it is) or ours?
And SSG Jeff, no, they don’t. Their protection of speech is broader than ours.
Kris, they can’t kick her out unless she commits a crime which (according to Belgian law) she has not.
The only cure seems to be to give in and that’s no cure its death by another name.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see her rolled up in a presian rug, dumped into the back of an unmarked 737 and kicked out of the back of a van in Jedda with no ID?
Wonder how much she would be for jee-hawd then?
Its true…Western Civilization died in the ovens of the concentration camps.
When a society takes pains to not offend anyone in the name of freedom, they give up their own. Its only a matter of time before they succumb completely.
Yeah! What Nose said….
I’ll donate my time to help in any way.
Euro surrender-monkeys are beneath contempt.
But she’s not originally from there, right? The Swiss expelled her…what keeps the Belgians from doing the same?
Color me naive, but I just don’t get it. If they don’t want her there, then just kick her out.
Careful, she might come here and become a Obama cabinet appointee and Nobel Peace Prize winner.
be careful, i think that it is only a matter of time before we become as spineless europe. maybe their collapse will wake us up. i’m sure the majority of the population a dearborn, mi will believe this woman to be a hero.
Obviously she is a Belgian citizen. So she is right to feel perfectly at home.
It’s worth noting that al-Masoud was killed by a suicide bomber (the explosives were loaded in a camera, the killers were allegedly a news crew come to conduct an interview). Malika’s husband killed himself.
I can understand why.
Once-A-Marine said what I was thinking. Barring some major shift and an all out effort to eliminate this threat, it is our civilization that is going to vanish before the horde this time.
Muslim archaeologists 10 centuries from now will whisper among themselves of people that once inhabited the land before Islam. Our world and everything we believed in will be gone.

Don’t kid yourself. If the kind of radicals she supports wins, they won’t give a damn about what was left behind, except maybe to destroy it. Remember the giant statues of Buddha in Afghanistan?
Given the kind of surveillance laws they have in Europe (even in Belgium) I imagine that every hit to her website is traced. Again, be glad our enemies like the internet so much since everything one does online can be watched. Start to worry when they only transact business in person or in writing.
