Statement by Lars Hedegaard on his acquittal
Copenhagen, January 31, 2011
As my ancient forefathers, the vikings, would have said: It is always good to fight. It is better to win.
My detractors – the foes of free speech and the enablers of an Islamic ascendancy in the West – will claim that I was acquitted on a technicality, namely that the judge in the Court of Frederiksberg resolved that my supposedly offensive comments on the violations against little Muslim girls were not intended for public dissemination.
That is absolutely true. The judge chose the way out provided by my capable counsel.
However, the public prosecutor has been privy to the circumstances surrounding my case for a year – and yet he chose to prosecute me. Obviously in the hope that he could secure a conviction given the Islamophile sentiment among our ruling classes.
My acquittal is therefore a major victory for free speech.
I have no doubt that the massive support I have received from freedom fighters around the world has been instrumental in securing my acquittal.
This outcome will encourage people all over the West and beyond to speak up.
The battle for freedom is far from lost.
Courage!

You have my thanks for allowing yourself to be put through this circus of the macabre ny.
A medieval blameworthy trial in Europe.
We have the same set of Characters that reside here that have the hots for Jihad or Islam. Marxists with no brains. In Control of State Inquisitions to suppress their own people. If you ask me the ruling class is terrified in gibbering by Islamists. It will fall as usual to the regular guy to end this eventually. The ‘Brights” as they style themselves have become rather dim on Islam or any other rational subject.\ They gave up reason long ago for Emoting as passing for intelligence. Screaming insults over substance. The reason of course is ALL their ideas are backwards & indefensible.
Our ruling class have become dummies who only feel, not cognate. Full of insane ideologies that go against human nature.
Thanks for your stand on Free Speech!!!!

Dear Mr. Hedegaard:
Congratulations on your acquittal.
It is certainly a great victory for you, but it was only a small victory for freedom.
Citizens will not be free until they can speak without fear of political commissars eager to try them for thought crimes.
I would have less fear of individual violent muslims seeking to kill me, than of an army of government apparatchiks eager to bring me to trial.

Our God is greater!
Our society is, for now, more free.

I guess it just depends on which side of the fence you’re on, no BiBi?
