The EU and the U.S. have recently been holding meetings in Brussels and
Ankara with Turkey and Qatar, two of the major funders of terror groups, to
form an "anti-terrorism task force" -- while the very Islamists
they support have been spiritedly spreading out. Turkey and Qatar have even
agreed to help fight ISIS, apparently on the condition that the Turkish-trained
forces also try to unseat Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his
Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated AKP Party, has been a supporter of terrorists,
such as Hamas and ISIS.
"Bravest Director": Finn Norgaard
by Douglas Murray
• February 25, 2015 at 4:00 am
Bravery
is Finn Norgaard. He was the 55-year-old film director shot dead in
Copenhagen earlier this month by Omar Abdelhamid Hussein.
People
inside the café now credit Norgaard with helping to save their lives. If he
had not struggled with the gunman and bought precious extra seconds for the
police and others, it is likely that the number of fatalities at the
free-speech event would have been far higher.
A
substantial proportion of the few people on the front line of the struggle for
freedom of speech in Europe were crammed into that small room.
In an
industry that likes to pat itself on the back for its supposed bravery,
Norgaard lived a life, and died a death, of true bravery. Is it too much to
hope that at some point his industry recognizes the real heroes of our time?

terrorist Omar Abdelhamid Hussein, as he tried to stop Hussein from
shooting up a room filled with free-speech activists in Copenhagen,
Denmark. At right, Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who is on an al-Qaeda
death-list, was one of the attendees at the meeting that Hussein came to

We've just had Oscar night in the US. But sadly, there was no nomination
for "Bravest Director." Here is a nomination.
Ordinarily of course, you would not dare to have a nomination for
"bravest director." The role would be coveted by, and only awarded
to, people who made films that made utterly predictable points for whatever
the spirit of the age happened to be. A tale of one woman's battle against
disease, set against the backdrop of the anti-slavery movement. The tale of
one man's fight against class prejudice and unequal pay, set against the
background of the sinking of the Titanic, and so on.
