Laurent Sourisseau (aka “Riss”), the head of Satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo, has released a new book entitled One Minute Forty-Nine Seconds. The attack on Charlie Hebdo headquarters in Paris was was one of the most violent attempts at forcing Western nations to submit to Islamic Blasphemy laws.
RAIR Foundation This book has been widely praised as a refutation of the Islamic terrorists who attacked the French Satirical magazine on January 7, 2015, killing a dozen people at the magazine, and injuring another eleven. Riss was injured in the attack from a gun shot to his shoulder.
Riss pointed out that since the 2015 jihad terror attack on free speech, things have not improved in the West, “If we republished the cartoons today, we would be alone again, the attack did not make people more courageous, on the contrary.”
Riss has continued his work, but his commitment to his beliefs has come at a huge cost – everywhere he goes, he must be protected by security guards. Riss has previously written about the enormous cost of security for the magazine. “Between the private security firm, surveillance and special installations — including a panic room — in their offices, protecting staff costs more than $1.5 million per year.’
Islamic jihadists have put the free world on notice: if you draw Muhammad, we will kill you.
Being critical of Islam now means death threats or actual attempts on your life such as, cartoonists, comedians, and anyone who publicly defies Islam as it insists on being represented, everywhere in the world now.
All over the Islamic world, and now the Western world, secular thinkers, clergy, teachers, politicians, artists, poets, writers, journalists (Lars Hedegaard), bloggers (Bangladesh), and cartoonists are threatened and/or targeted for death because they dare to be critical of Islam.
Leftist activists, politicians and organizations, assist this jihad on free speech by calling all who openly criticize Islam of being guilty of “hate speech”. This is a secular equivalent of “blasphemy” and is working its way into Western law!
As one Charlie Hebdo journalist stated, “The more of us who choose to stay silent, the more dangerous it becomes for the few who continue speaking out.” The fact is that where critical thinking & free speech end, the West ends as well.
As George Washington warned, “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter”
Liberal Leftists are on the wrong side of every issue,
and on the wrong side of history.
Why is that??
Imagine living in a country similar to Poland’s position between the world wars where one would be jailed if one gave a warning about the dangers of communism and fascism.
This lack of free expression is happening in every single country in Europe, except the Eastern European Nations, and the fact that a gentleman like this guy needs 24/7 protection should tell everybody what islam stands for.
I ust dont understand why Western feminists are falling over themselves to defend this fascist religious cult that despises everything they hold dear and dear.
Freedom is not free.
True. Most Europeans are cowards. The only exceptions would be Italy and Central Europe.
@ Classy Infidel
I wonder if you are not very young and very ignorant of European History …. or very biased …
Yes, who would disagree with him ? For all the ‘wringing of hands’ and candle-light marches… nothing has really changed. And now the French police themselves are infiltrated the with Islamic scourge. ( BTW… Watch the video if only to see the majestic flight of the eagle at the end. Just soooo beautiful. GO USA !! GO TRUMP !! )
Sadly Riss isn’t wrong here. Then again I will mention again that by showing Yeshua the door, then ultimately they don’t know what they’re fighting for. Which is exactly why Western Europe is being dominated by islam.
CB, you have mentioned this before, & I do agree with you that some of Europe has lost their Christianity, allowing Islam (Satan) to move in.
Az I feel like I’m a moden Daniyahel (Daniel). Yes the same Daniyahel who interpreted MENE, MENE, TEKEL and UPHARSIN as this. YHVH has numbered the days of his reign and it is brought to an end. The king has been measured and is deemed wanting and the kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.
Hmmmmm, I believe Islam mean submission. Our Ruling Class, academia and the media are at that point. Thank God for websites such as BNI and many others who will NOT submit.
Fyi, I’m reading Brigitte Gabriel’s 3rd book, “Rise”. In chapter 4, she mentions that her name, address and personal information were published by a Leftist reporter in an American newspaper in 2011. The Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR, put out a press release which was picked up by Al Jazeera. She was then warned by the FBI that her location was posted 165,000 times on various radical Islamic websites. She and her family had to re-locate at considerable expense.
This is scary indeed but it’s also motivation for every anti-jihadist individual or organization to collectively keep fighting and speaking out. ??
ME, Debbie Schussel did the same thing to me.
Wow! Why would Schussel do that to you? I know she had a falling out with Pamela Gellar some time ago. What would be accomplished by doxing a fellow Anti-Islam blogger?
Mo, she is a snake and has done similar things to other bloggers she saw as competition. I had to get a lawyer to force her to cease and desist.
You’re right, what a snake. Jealousy is one thing, but such a bad character! These type of POS should have the favour returned, see how they like it. Unbelievable!
That’s horrible. I thought she was anti Islam?
She is, but she thinks she is better than everyone else. Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Michelle Malkin, and others have all been the subject of her wrath. I don’t think she blogs much anymore.
Sadly, I agree. The attack did NOT wake the French people.
Also, as an average citizen, you can now be accused of “hate speech” and be fined such an enormous amount of money that it can destroy one’s life. When a black singer is singing “let’s kill white babies” with a video showing the rape of a white woman, he will get away with it and just get a slap on the hand with a small formal fine he does not need to pay (name of the guy : Nick Conrad ….)
Exactly. This is a great post. Where freedom ends, the West ends. These journalists/cartoonists are on the front lines of Western civilization. God bless all anti Islamists.
“the attack did not make people more courageous, on the contrary”
I would not say it like that. The point is : In the last 10 years, political crackdown on free speech has become incredibly heavy through a panel of laws that can actually bring a citizen to prison for criticizing a religion. A few years ago, it was possible to march in Paris shouting in broad daylight “islam is a murderous cult, islam out of France”. Now, it is just impossible. Any march that would criticize islam is simply banned by government officials or whoever take the decision at the police headquarters in Paris (reminder : 4 policemen slaughtered last week within the headquarters ….). So, it is not that people are less courageous. There is no possibility anymore to express in the open, people have to hide to carry on with meetings against islamization. I do not think that Riss would attend any of these meetings that still take place in private surroundings. With all that happened to his friends at Charlie Hebdo, he remains amonng the PC crowd.
FR, if they keep electing people like Macron, it will only get worse.
The French are gutless on many fronts. Allowing themselves to be invaded and dominated by the filthy heathen muzslimes is the main. Kiss France goodbye.
It isn’t only the French, or haven’t you read and seen videos from EVERY western country?
ALL our countries have been infiltrated/invaded/infested by moslem trash, including Israel and the Visegrad 4.
Actually, I doubt that France has as many islamic city mayors as England–or even Sweden.
Calgary Alberta has a moslem mayor–who has been re-elected twice!
And who could forget the two foul-mouthed muslimas in the American Congress?
No, it isn’t only France!
Well, I do not see much of a push back from the British establishment which keeps a boot on the necks of the working class. Witness the treatment of Tommy Robinson.
Well said. It is time to deal with the establishment who are blocking any return to sanity. One has to ask what is going on and it is not democracy.
