Freedom, Security, and Incentivizing Violence :: SteynOnline

by Mark Steyn  Defend Free Speech  October 3, 2015

In this 800th anniversary year, I'm honored to be part of a new book,
with Chris Berg and John Roskam from our friends at the IPA, called Magna Carta: The Tax Revolt That Gave Us Liberty.

If you live not just in England but in North America, Australia, New
Zealand and around the Commonwealth, this is the great foundational
document of individual liberty, and this book is its story. If you'd
like your copy personally autographed by me, do swing by the SteynOnline bookstore.

~These are tough times for core liberties around the western world. A
week ago, I was at the Danish Parliament for the tenth anniversary of
the Mohammed cartoons. We've been posting the remarks of the various
speakers piecemeal throughout the week, but I thought we'd assemble them
in one convenient central location, so you can get a sense of the whole
event as it unfolded. Please note that the videos below are extended
versions of the ones previously posted, so they include not only the
speeches but questions from the audience - including my final one about
picking up imams.

First up, our hosts for the day, Katrine Winkel Holm of the
indispensable Free Press Society and her sister Marie Krarup, Member of
Parliament and defense spokesperson for the Danish People's Party:
