Swedes Have Backbones; Shock Discovery!

To my utter amazement, the Swedes, who normally wallow like invertebrates in a swamp of appeasement when it comes to Islam, have responded with commendable firmness in the face of a conspiracy to kill cartoonist Lars Vilks. Lars Vilks mocked Mohamed by putting his head on the body of a dog. When a plot was uncovered with US citizen "Jihad Jane" Colleen LaRose as Vilks self appointed executioner, the Swedes suddenly discovered that they had a constitution that included the right to freedom of expression. The national broadcaster and three Swedish newspapers printed the cartoon in defence of this right. The newspapers were Sweden's largest circulation Dagens Nyheter and Expressen and, yes, Malmo's Sydsvenska Dagbladet. Maybe Malmo isn't such a total Islamist stronghold after all. Not yet.
