The Islam-West war: professor must hide in Holland, mosques in Austria begin to close
The cultural war, or rather of culture between the Western secular world, continues and someone risks paying for it personally.
A teacher in the Netherlands was forced into hiding after some students violently protested a political cartoon about Islam displayed in his class.
Rotterdam police said Friday that they had arrested an 18-year-old girl suspected of posting a message on social media that "incited others to commit crimes" against the teacher and also against the Emmaus high school where she teaches.
During a class discussion at school on Monday, the students noticed a satirical cartoon that had been hanging on a bulletin board for years. The cartoon, titled "Immortal", showed a decapitated figure with the label "Charlie Hebdo" tongue attacking a bearded man with a bloody sword. It was a cartoon drawn in 2015 in the aftermath of the attacks against Charlie Hebdo.
It was drawn in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attack on the editorial offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which angered Muslims by publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. The cartoon was discussed by the pupils, some severely challenged it and one pupil moved on to threats. Now the teacher is hiding under police protection.
"We need to be able to discuss topics such as freedom of expression in our classrooms without any outside pressure," the professor told reporters. "It can hurt when someone has an opinion that is in conflict with your worldview or your religious beliefs, but they have the right to say it freely."
In a statement posted on its website on Friday, the Rotterdam school said it was "totally unacceptable for a discussion between teachers and students to be hijacked by outside people who use it to make unfounded threats." However, this type of discourse requires a cultural maturity and tolerance which, unfortunately, are not yet developed in a large part of Islam, where religion is seen as superior to any state law.
Meanwhile, the first police operations begin in Austria. The Austrian authorities have moved to close two mosques frequented by one of the killers who left four dead and over 20 injured. The religious centers are believed to have contributed to the radicalization of the main culprit, the 20-year-old Austrian Kujtim Fejzulai, and it is possible that this first operation will be followed by others because several mosques that preach fundamentalism are under observation. Too bad that everything is happening too late and too limited. Islamic influence, directed by Turkey and the Islamic Brotherhood, is proving stronger every day.
