The BBC reported today that a Danish court has convicted three Muslims for plotting bomb attacks against Denmark (a country that welcomed these men). But it is not enough for the Beeb to report the news. The BBC has to editorialize about the lawful conviction of Islamist savages, and create a flimsy rationale blaming one of the world’s great liberal democracies for bringing terrorism upon itself:

… Denmark’s military contribution to the US-led campaign in Iraq has prompted fears it could be targeted by militants.

Last year, the country was also the focus of worldwide protests by Muslims, who were angered by a Danish newspaper’s publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. …

Could the first paragraph be any less specific? As to the second paragraph, need I remind everyone that Muslims rioted, burned, murdered, and looted all because a Danish newspaper exercised free speech and published a couple of cartoons? — all while the Muslim world spews forth bigoted imagery and labels non-Muslims as “apes” and “pigs.” Sounds like the Beeb is trotting out the old “she got raped because of what she was wearing” argument.

Submit to Islam (which is what the BBC wants)? Never. Submit to Havarti? Every day!
