The victory of the aggrieved

The Jawas present captioned video of a jihadi riot and its aftermath whose intent was to intimidate, assault and close down Lars Vilks' presentation at Uppsala University in Stockholm.

It succeeded.

The fun chanting starts at 4 minutes or so (this is where a local chapter of the EDL would have come in handy). And at 7 minutes, the death threats (in full view of the police, mind).

This via Ace who comments:

Should the law not be changed to reflect the actual law -- that Muslims are in fact permitted to create disturbances of the peace and commit assault? Because if you trick non-Muslim citizens into thinking these things are crimes, and then they intervene, believing themselves to be stopping crimes in progress... then you're locking them up without fair warning, aren't you?

Eh. They've been warned, I guess. Everyone knows what the real law is.

And Allahpundit, your go-to guy for bad news.

Everything about this is an utter, unmitigated disgrace — the attack on Vilks, the excruciating passivity of most of the crowd, the sheer thuggery of these shrieking, lunatic, barbarian bastards, and of course the killer moment at around 8:45 when they win. Do note, too, how the Aggrieved alternate between vicious threats and civil rights, warning the cops against brutality and reminding them that they pay taxes too. That’s a familiar pattern nine years after 9/11. They’d have torn Vilks apart with their bare hands if they could have but they’re all about proper procedure, you see.

Depressing. On the other hand, Lars Vilks (via American Power).

I love the way CNN blurs out Vilks' sketch of the pedoprophet. The cowards. But then it is not as if CNN has a stake in freedom of speech.

And now this: The home of a Swedish artist who once drew a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad as a dog has been hit by a suspected arson attack attacked in an act of war against civilization.

Lars Vilks, who lives in Nyhamnslage in southern Sweden, was not at home during the attack late Friday night and no one was reported injured.

It was the latest in a week of attacks on the 53-year-old cartoonist, who was assaulted Tuesday by a man while he lectured at a university and saw his Web site apparently attacked by hacker on Wednesday.

The house was not under surveillance. The perps were not shot dead and their bodies gibbeted as a warning against pirates.
