The Sun comes up in the East and goes down in the West and just as reliably the Western Press finds fault with those who point out the Flaws of the Religion of the Perpetually Offended, not with the religion.
From the Who saw that coming? file, it would appear that the pulpit we mentioned a few days ago is now being targeted by outraged Turks. [Ed.:—Okay, maybe not "Turks," so much as they're "Practitioners of the Religion of Peace."] Of course, rather than dealing with the problem (i.e., people who constantly rage against inanimate objects), Belgian authorities have decided that treating the symptoms is sufficient:Police Protection for Provocative Pulpit · snapped shot
Mohammed sculpture in Belgian Church. This was commissioned after the battle of Vienna to celebrate the Christian victory over the Muslim Hordes. The battle marked the turning point in the 300-year struggle between the forces of the Central European kingdoms and the Ottoman Empire.

Bush wasn’t kidding when he declared we are in a long war…honestly don’t think he understood how long.
According to the Belgian press the pulpit controversy has been deliberately caused by [the Brussels Journal], which is being described as “pretending to be neo-conservative” but run by “neo-fascists.” Piet Buyse, the mayor of Dendermonde, told the media that he deplores that the pulpit “figures on websites which aim to provoke negative reactions from Muslims.” The mayor said that the depicted man represents an unbeliever and may also be Luther or Calvin
Makes sense, after all a blogger from Brussels Journal, isn’t likely to cut your freaking head off for calling him a fascist. Sadly the same cannot be said of the other side of the equation. So if you are some sort of pissant government functionary it is much easier to attack the guys who won’t be cutting your head off than it is to attack those who just might.
Btw go over and support the Brussels Journal since they are fighting such a good fight on the front lines.
