Libya: The Spirit of 2006
by Diana West https://www.legal-project.org/1605/libya-the-spirit-of-2006 Excerpt: From the beginning of fighting in Libya, John Rosenthal has owned the English-language reporting on the "rebels" — a remarkable feat for an independent journalist competing with Goliath Media. With anti-Qadaffi forces now in Tripoli, it's worth revisiting what may be Rosenthal's singlemost clarifying report on the jihadists roots of the insurrection, which go back to a violent Benghazi outpouring in 2006 against the West — against freedom of speech and the Danish Mohammed cartoons. In these Libyan protests, which Rosenthal describes below, we see the point of the sword in the ongoing Islamic pressure-movement against Western freedom of speech, specifically, against the freedom to criticize, to mock, to oppose, to debate, to understand Islam – in other words, to undergo the essential intellectual preparations to defend our freedom from jihad.
