Islamstadam: Gregorius Nekschot Declares Jihad On Danish Cartoonists
A DUTCH cartoonist working under the name Gregorius Nekschot has been arrested on suspicion of violating hate speech laws.
Nekschot is “known primarily for cartoons mocking Muslims and leftists”, though the spokeswoman said he is a satirist who targets “any strong ideology.”

But what of his dread works? As reported, a recent cartoon on his web site caricatured a Christian fundamentalist and Muslim fundamentalist as zombies who met at an anti-gay rally and now wished to marry.
Mr Nekschot wants to keep his identity secret to retain a sense of mystique and rebellion but Anorak’s in-house profilers mark him out to be a fifteen year old white boy with a nascent weed habit and uncertain sexuality.
He may also be locked in an intense rivalry with Danish cartoonists, whom he despises. And the enemy are still getting headlines and stirring passion among they who seek victimhood above all else:

Hard for any budding Dutch cartoonist to ignore the fame, and we wish him well with this quest to uphold the right to be offensivr, and whatever else he wishes to do in the privacy of his bedroom…

The reason for Nekschot wishing to remain anonymous was not to retain a sense of mystique and rebellion. In Holland creating art critical of Islam tends to be rewarded with a bullet in the head and a knife in the chest, as was the case for Theo van Gogh who directed the film Submission. By compromising his anonymity prosecutors have endangered Nekschot. But apparently this is less of a worry for them than their desire to appease Islamists.

No more freedom of speech in the Netherlands.
Last Friday Mr. Ernst Hirsch Ballin the narrow minded Minister of juSStice defended the arrest of Gregorius Nekschot. It took ten policemen to arrest one cartoonist.
Holland is now like Iran, they also have religion-police.
In the coming years we will only have underground-artists. The artist publishing about islam like writers, painters, photographers and cartoonist who use their own names can not be trusted anymore.

Actually, the 5000 chanting Afghans did their chanting on 22 March.
Really pretty clever of them, given that Gregorius Nekschot was arrested last Tuesday…

I’m afraid. Where is that country heading to? This makes people feel that they are no longer allowed to express their reservation they have towards the islam. These voices will go underground and will slowly radicalize while above-ground the Dutch society will nigh more and more towards the islam.
We’re heading for disaster. Slowly, but surely.

Whoever wrote this article sure doesn’t understand what’s going on in the Netherlands and he didn’t do any research on the subject, Mr. Nekschot.
Mr. Nekschot publishes these kind of cartoons for over 6 years now. He’s not locked in an intense rivalry with any Danish cartoonists, why should he? No other cartoonist can even be compared to Mr. Nekschot as it comes to put a finger on the dirty islam spot.
The writer of this article must be extremely ignorant or a dhimmi.
The end of time has just begun…
