Finland Lars Vilks The Finns

LARS VILKS COMING TO FINLAND TO SPEAK AT FINNS PARTY FUNCTION…….

Great news!

The Tundra Tabloids was the first blog from Finland to interview Lars Vilks, and was the first to report Lars’ observation that his event in Stockholm was the first time blood had been drawn in connection with his drawings of mohamed as a dog.

The Helsingin Sanomat’s culture dept editor says of the upcoming Vilks visit:

”It is great that Vilks is coming to Finland, and the freedom of expression is an important topic. But what should we think of Raatikainen’s answer to a HS journalist who asked him what the biggest threat or obstacle to freedom of speech in Finland was”:

“Nothing quickly comes to mind standing here in the K-store corridor, but if I was at home and I could have a little time to think, yes, I could probably think of a few things.”

The seminar is until next week. Maybe Raatikainen has time to think about it.

Ok Ms. Mahlamäki, be honest here, you’re really not happy over the Vilks visit at all, because (IMHO) you really don’t believe in free speech, only the speech that you deem acceptable. The same goes for your bosses at the HS. The fact is, you’re upset that your fake journalist was deprived of a ”gotcha moment”, due to the fact Mika Raatikainen wanted to deliver a carefully thought out response to a serious question, knowing how fake journalists like yourself twist and bend the truth of those with whom they disagree. But that aside, here’s a couple of examples of responses that Raatikainen could give you.

  • What the biggest threat and obstacle to the freedom of speech here in Finland, is the fake Finnish media (HS included) which refused to join in solidarity (for free speech sake) with the Jyllands-Posten in re-publishing the mo-toons.
  • The fake Finnish judicial system which proved that facts and truth are not a defense in the Finnish court system, in their case against MP Jussi Halla-aho.

That’s what I would tell the fake journalist Hanna Mahlamäki.

The Finns MP Mika Raatikainen says he has invited Vilksin Finland to a function,but cannot tell any more about it. The event is to discuss the freedom of expression, self-censorship and security relationship.

The visit schedule and details will be published in the next few days.

Vilks has had police protection since 2007 when he published a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. IL

NOTE: Take a look at how the IL article describes mohamed. That more than anything else, tells you the level of intimidation and ignorance experienced here in Finland, and why Vilks’ visit is badly needed.
