We’ve only heard the faintest quip about this rally in the news here in Scandinavia, and nothing on the TV news services! It’s not anti-west so it’s not interesting, it seems…!

I have had numerous discussions with friends in the region why there are so seldom rallies against Islamism, or the select few that are held are seemingly too few and far between. To a man or woman, each friend has told me there are rallies, not enough of them they say, but they are never covered by the Western press.

There’s little question I buy into that idea completely, and it’s a shame too because it feeds right into the Islamists’ hands. They don’t want to see the rallies, but they have to be pleased when they do indeed occur no one in the West hears of them. It feeds the ‘us against the entire Islamic world’ construct in which the Islamists want.
