Free speech dealt a blow in Denmark
Melanie Phillips brings the sad news that Lars Hedegaard, head of the Danish Free Press Society, was convicted of "hate speech" for daring to point out violence against women in Muslim families, via the Orwellian judicial system Denmark has (via The Jawa Report and Big Peace). What this basically tells is that they want to make it a crime to defend Muslim women and children from "honor" violence.
It's also most startling that, in the country that published the Mohammed cartoons, this is where such a show trial is taking place.
Update: here's more from Phyllis Chesler. Hedegaard will appeal the verdict, and we can only hope that something can be done to fix their Orwellian laws.
