Finnish Blogger needs your help.

Finnish anti-idiotarian blogger Mikko Ellila is facing police interrogation and possible criminal charges because his posts critical of radical Islam and supportive of Israel--basically the same ground we cover here at Byz. (when we can). To ensure we can continue to speak our minds, vigilance is required,so I urge all to read the re post below on the issue and take action.


Mikko Ellilä Speaks Out

Update: There’s another message from Mikko Ellilä now — see Word From Down Under.
Mikko Ellilä has left a comment on the Vigilant Freedom blog about his situation:
I found your blog via the Gates of Vienna, which I found by googling my name. Information concerning the case is spreading fast and will no doubt find its way in mainstream media very soon. I decided to discuss the issue in the blogosphere first and talk to the mainstream media only after they ask for an interview. The blogosphere is better than Big Media because bloggers are generally more intelligent and more honest. Mainstream media systematically lies about all issues regarding Islam. For example, the Muslims who burned ten thousand cars and dozens of buildings in France during the Ramadan riots of 2005 were described as “youth” in the media, and the slogan Sarkozy, sale juif! [Sarkozy, dirty Jew!] that the Muslims shouted repeatedly was not mentioned in mainstream media at all, or was quoted in the newspapers as “Sarkozy, fasciste!” as if the Muslims somehow opposed fascism.The main point that I have been trying to make in my blog is that the Muslims ARE fascists who want to kill Jews, atheists, homosexuals, etc. Trying to prosecute me for saying that Islam is a totalitarian ideology is like trying to sue someone for saying Hitler was a Nazi.Also, Christine of Vigilant Freedom reports:
