A message from Lars Hedegaard:
Thank you for the hundreds of facebook messages and mails I have received since a lunatic tried to bump me off two days ago.
I’m in fine shape and hope to return to a semblance of normal life and work pretty soon.
Meanwhile I can only repeat what I have already said to one of the Danish dailies:
I would rather die than shut up.
They may kill us but there will always be people determined to stand up for our most precious right ¬ the right of free expression.
Thank you to the hundreds who have have joined our Free Press Society or taken out subscriptions to Dispatch International over the past 48 hours.
We are all in this together and if we stay together, they can never break
us.Courage!
Lars Hedegaard
If no Muslim knows what Muhammad looked like, then the must attribute the look in the video to be representative of Muhammad on order to be offended. the solution for them is to realize that no one knows how he looked so there’s no reason to take offense unless the character is named Muhammad the Prophet and does not accurately represent his history.
Substituting a face the represents Jesus in this video and saying the video is about Jesus of the Bible would be offensive, so … but at least Christians don’t generally take the offense by becoming threatening and violent.
