Shooting in Denmark – More Terrorism

Two gunmen opened fire at a free speech event in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event was organized by Swedish artist, Lars Vilks, who is considered controversial since his depiction of the Prophet Muhammad as a dog in 2007.  The gunmen used automatic weapons that sprayed at least 30 bullets, killing a 40-year-old man and injuring three police officers. The gunmen are still at large.

Helle Merete Brix, an organizer of the event said, "I clearly consider this as an attack on Lars Vilks.” Helle was ushered away with Vilks by one of the Danish police guards that Vilks gets whenever he is in Denmark.

Francois Zimeray, the French ambassador to Denmark, who was a speaker at the event, told the news media, "They fired on us from the outside. It was the same intention as Charlie Hebdo except they didn't manage to get in."

Supreme Lack of Understanding

No matter how sympathetic President Obama wants to appear about the Paris massacre that took place at Charlie Hebdo last week, his actions speak louder than his words.

To quote Douglas E. Schoen, former Clinton pollster,

“To speak about the most serious terrorist attack on Western soil since 9/11, London and Madrid, in between speeches about his free community college plan demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding for the gravity of the situation in Paris and, indeed, the world.”

And to assert the point that I keep making, this president came in to office with no qualifications in international politics and, by his actions after the Charlie Hebron attack, seems to have learned nothing during his time in office.

The war against radical Islam deserves more than a few casual remarks by the leader of the free world.
