Je Suis Charlie Hebdo Aussi
by Phyllis Chesler
January 8, 2015 I and a small and much maligned group of scholars and journalists (Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Bat-Ye'or, Paul Berman, Steven Emerson, Orianna Fallaci, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Pipes, Ibn Warraq) have warned about, even predicted a growing Intifada in the West as well as in Muslim countries. However, this Intifada is not necessarily visible to the Western intelligentsia. Even today, media and government leaders desperately prattle on about how Islam is a religion of peace—even after 9/11, 3/11, 7/7, the assassination of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, the Shoe Bomber, the Fort Hood Shooter, the rise of ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas—and now the Muslim massacre of journalists and cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo. Some Western journalists write that the massacre was due to Charlie Hebdo's having "provoked" the attack by insulting Islam. Yes, the satirical magazine insulted all religions and did not make an exception for Islam. Muslims expect that exception and will murder in order to get it. The West has mainly yielded. Please recall: The Yale University Press chose not to publish the Danish Mohammed cartoons in a book about that very controversy; American cartoonist Molly ("Draw Mohammed Day") Norris is still in hiding on the West Coast. The brave Danes and Swedes (Flemming Rose, Hans Erling Jensen, Kurt Westergaard, and many more) have been sued, nearly assassinated, and forced to either live in hiding or under police protection for "insulting" Islam.
