Another example of Euro leftist appeasement

EU: Jakob Illeborg writing in the Guardian comment section says the Danes may have scored an own goal by reprinting the Muhammad(Mohammed) cartoons because the "youths" and protests gathering in the middle east over it.

"One Cif commenter suggested that "Jakob Illeborg equals Neville Chamberlain" (which may be overstating my importance slightly). However, I don't think that I am an appeaser. A pragmatist certainly, but then pragmatism in my view is the only solution to the relatively small matter of cartoons in Denmark, and indeed to the great problem of western liberal society and the challenge from Islamic world. Reprinting the cartoons only puts the ball back in the fundamentalists' court and if it turns out that the action was precipitate, we have just scored another costly own goal. We should know better, we should act more wisely. It is not always just about who is right and wrong, but also about picking the right battles to fight. This battle is a losing one and it gives the Islamists fresh firewood for their already brightly burning bonfire. "But it is the Muslims' fault", a few angry Cif commenters reminded me. That may be, but I think we ought to ask ourselves whether it is worth picking these fights. Of course we must protect our writers and cartoonists from deranged fundamentalists, but we are not faultless ourselves. There were hidden political and religious agendas in the original printing of the cartoons, just as is there are this time around. The latest street riots in Denmark tell their own story of the serious problems with disintegrated migrants that we have at the moment, but they also speak loudly about Danish society's inability to cope with foreign cultures and religions - it is no coincidence that such riots take place in capitals such as Copenhagen and Paris and not in London.

Everything is the Danes fault in this, it shows a paternal view of Muslims as the reactionary being who must not be be made angry, so all those "cherished values" the West would say loudly if this as any other religion now carry warnings when it comes to Muslims. Illeborg is perfectly willing to gut those values due to mob violence and wishes the Danes would be the same way.
