Islamic people will now stamp their feet, burn cloth that is painted like the Russian flag and hurl stones at the Russuan embassies. They will demand an apologiy from Russia...

And Russia will say, as Eddie Izzard put it, "Well...we're not gonna!"

Islamofascists will break from thier normal boring peacefull religous practices just long enough to burn some Russian flags and then remove a few infidels heads, then its back to the dull business of practicing a peaceful religion...
 Right now flags and riot kits are being fedexed around to the proper islamofascist leaders for distribution and proper riot head chopping off training classes..

Didn't the Soviets knock on Afghanistan's door in the 80's, then the U.S. came to help?  Would the U.S. help the Russians or the Islamic fanatics this time?  Maybe it will be a U.S. vs U.S. war.  Stay tuned for more details...

"Islam is interpreted to forbid any illustrations of the Prophet"

Any "illustration" is forbidden, regardless of content.  If I draw a stick figure on my desk and write "Muhammad" above it it is insulting.

Imagine if everyone rioted every time someone took the Lord's name in vain?

Somehow I doubt that it would cause riots and Finnish embassies to get burned to the ground. I think at worst, if somehow it got famous, you'd have somebody like Pat Robertson having a hissy fit... which is okay, because most people don't like him anyways :)

Your missing the obvious point.  You have the freedom to do that, you have the right to be as tarded as you want without fear of loss of life.

We have *tolerance* of those who disagree with our morals, religion, politics, etc.

They, on the other hand, do not.  Yet...they insist we be tolerant of their views.

Its a very one-sided argument.

I don't see the need to insult anothers religion, but that is just me. But I also strongly agree with freedom of speach and expression, as long as it doesn't infringe on others freedoms.

To carry on, riot & behave like this is just crazy, no justification & it shouldn't be condoned no matter what someone says about Muhammad. These are just irrational, crazy, extremist people.

What is amazing is they show all this outrage about some cartoon displayed six months ago, but they don't show outrage when fellow extremist cut heads off people....or when they blow up innocent women & children. IN my view...there is something wrong with that whole culture.

Post by: ghostdancer on February 07, 2006, 04:36:14 PM
Well I took a look over on Slate (they have a link to the site with the 12 cartoons) and there is nothing massively  offensive to them along the lines of being "in the red light district of amersterdam in leather garters, etc."

I find it very, very interesting that the iman who brought copies of these pictures out of Denmark (where they were published in September) also brought another 3 that were NEVER published. And these three were really offensive along the lines of what Staga said he would create.

Gateway Pundit's conservative Jim Hoft blames a Danish imam who recently traveled to the Middle East for fanning the flames: "[T]he truth is that Imam Ahmad Abu Laban, brought at least 3 additional images, which HAD NEVER been published in any media source. They included a cartoon of Muhammad as a pedophile demon, Muhammed with a pig snout, and a praying Muslim being raped by a dog." (For more on where these extra images may have come from, read the Daily Telegraph's David Rennie.)

http://www.slate.com/id/2135604/
[/list]

Yes, it is offensive to muslims to picture Mohammed, depictions of him is against their religion. But none of the 12 pictured him like the 3 others that were brought along.

Plus, the Muslim Newspapers have done cartoons of Christians, Jews, and Hindis that are highly offensive along the lines that Staga portrays.
Title: Russia will display the Cartoon images of Mohammad
Post by: ghostdancer on February 07, 2006, 04:39:30 PM

Where did those three "extra" cartoons come from, that did so much to fuel the Danish cartoon row? Perhaps it is an academic point, but I, for one, am not sure I know the answer yet.

As I've written in earlier postings, the row took off after a delegation of Danish Muslim clerics and activists took themselves off to the Middle East to drum up support for their campaign against the 12 cartoons published in the Danish newspaper, "Jyllands-Posten".

They carried with them a 43 page dossier, containing not 12, but 15 images of the Prophet Mohammed. The three extras were far more obscene, depicting Mohammed with a pig's snout and labeling him a paedophile, and showing a praying Muslim being raped by a dog.

The Muslim delegates insisted they made clear the three extra cartoons were not from "Jyllands-Posten", but were included to show the level of racism faced by Danish Muslims. They say the images came from hate mail sent, anonymously, to Danish Muslims.

There is certainly a problem with this account: every time Danish or foreign reporters asked to meet the Muslims sent those letters, or simply to see the original hate mail, they were told no, or promised they would be made available, only for that promise not to be kept.

To me, the case is inconclusive - definitely worth reporting, but impossible to prove either way. Other voices in the blogosphere have already made up their minds, it seems, declaring the extra three cartoons were faked by the imams themselves.

In the US, lots of bloggers have been linking to Gateway Pundit, which pins the blame on the Copenhagen-based imam, Ahmed Abu Laban, stating as fact that he "faked obscene cartoons on his trip to the Middle East."

Gateway Pundit cites an interview with Abu Laban on the US Fox News network, including the following commentary by the Fox correspondent, Jonathon Hunt: "After the publication the Imam and others toured the Middle East showing the cartoons but adding three more new ones that were far more offensive than anything the paper published.

"He [Imam Ahmad Abu Laban] told us they were from threatening letters but promising to give us copies of those letters, he never did."

Also in the States, American Thinker, says: "these additional pictures were NOT published by the newspaper, but were completely fabricated by the delegation and inserted in the booklet."

The Brussels Journal, a blog which deserves credit for following the story long before the maintsream media, is slightly more cautious, posing the thought as a question. To quote from a recent posting of theirs, the original 12 cartoons were "so inoffensive in fact that alienated Danish Muslim fanatics had to add three truly offensive cartoons (of their own making?) to deliberately incite Islamic hatred against Denmark."

Another much-linked blog, the Counterterrorism blog, merely calls the extra cartoons "fabricated". Or were the images pulled from the internet - either by the imams, if they are lying, or by racist white Danes to create hate mail, if the imams are telling the truth.

One visitor to Gateway Pundit mentions an article in the Norwegian paper, Verdens Gang, which says the images were taken from "Christian fundamentalist websites in the US". This analysis is attributed to a professor at Oslo University. I do not speak Norwegian, but here is the link. More when I have it.

Ok calling for help here.

I want to print up about 2 billion pictures of Mohamoud on self sticking labels.

Shoot video of me & anyone else we can get to cooperate putting these same labels on the bottom of our shoes.

Then cut to us dancing on mohamoud all over the USA.
They want war, fine, we give them war. They want to riot over a picture, ok lets give them a REAL excuse.

Almost all islamic  country's seem to want to overthrow our culture, goverment, way of life, etc. Well if they feel that threatened, maybe its time to strike back!

Cartoons of Mohamoud on every pair of sneakers sold! Build em in bulk, give half of them away for free! Throw in a couple of CD's of our decadent western music with every pair!

Heck, free tee shirts & shoes for any woman in any islamic country who will break with tradition. IE you forgo the veil & the granny sacks and we'll reward you.

Fight fire with fire!

In my cartoons growing up they tended to shoot millions of rounds at each other, but never actually hit anything... except for vehicles in which case the good & bad guys bailed out just in the nick of time.

I even remember that episode where G.I. Joe & Cobra managed to swap equipment. G.I. Joe still kicked their butts.

Even if it did... I wouldn't act like a hysterical little sister who was being teased.  

There are people like you and the cartoonists that pick on the poor old prophet...  I don't really care... that's your business.   When you tell the world (me) we can't look at the cartoons... well.. that's a whole nuther thing eh?

Staga...  what would you suggest?  would you suggest that nothing that offends anyone be allowed to be seen by anyone?   Why were you not outraged over the christ on the cross in the jar of urine or...

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Yes it is absurd and oh so humanly typical to resort to violence in response to religuosly inflamatory cartoon.

But in retaliation are you going to mock somebody else's Jesus Christ? Ask yourself if that is the type of person that you want to be.

Baghdad, the city of peace, once brought  medicine, mathematics, writing and monotheism, and civilization to my ancestors in europe.

Now the viking returns the favor.

The prodigy of europe are struggling to bring baghdad into modern civilization. That my friend is karma. Not the bull**** supernatural imagined version, but the real, logical, sequential karma of the buddha.  That is; everything you do, even on a personal level, makes a difference. Be it negative or positive.

Had to google the address, wasn't what I expected. I used to work 1 floor above a consulate, but I can't remember who it belonged to. The Syrian consulate, according to the address, is on the border of the Montrose area. That's the predominately gay area of Houston. For some reason, I find the irony absolutely hysterical.

Turns out these cartoons appeared in October (isn't that during Ramadon?) in Egypt but no one cared then, not until they were published in Western papers.  Sounds like an inside Cleric job to start some anti-western vibes....
http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-egypt.html

And the pig nose was actually a French clown at a "Pig Festival" - it never even appeared in the Danish paper at all.

Quote
In his letter of “apology” Jyllands-Posten editor Carsten Juste wrote:

“In our opinion the 12 cartoons were moderate and not intended to be insulting. They did not go against Danish laws, but have evidently offended many Muslims, for which we apologize. Meanwhile a couple of offending cartoons have circulated in the Muslim world which were never published in Jyllands-Posten and which we would never have published if they had been offered to us. We would have dismissed them on the grounds that they breached our ethical limits.”

Indeed, the three cartoons breaching the paper’s ethical limits have been made by fanatical Muslim clerics themselves in order to set the world ablaze and provoke a religious war with the West.

Even under Western law the Danish radical imams belong in jail. Their hate crime must be punished. The imams are the hate preachers who are responsible for the destruction and the fatalities that resulted from their lies and their blasphemy. One of these lying imams is Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban. He works as a translator and distributor of an al-Qaeda related publication.

I just came across this link - it's another take on what's going on behind the scenes:

http://realtegan.blogspot.com/2006/02/what-its-really-about.html

Basically, the it's saying 12 original cartoons didn't really cause much trouble when they first came out.  However, this blog (which points to another one that I can't get to right now) mentions three other cartoons that were depicted along with the other 12.  By the descriptions,
they're quite a bit worse than the original 12.  All this occuring quite soon after the deaths that occurred during the Hajj (I assume it was the "suitcase" stampede).  Doesn't this "uh oh... hey look over there!" sound familiar?  Anyone see if the other cartoons really exist?

Nope, I wouldn't think it would matter either.  The bottom line is those cartoons don't warrant that kind of reaction they're getting.  If that article is true it's another reason why the Saudis really aren't our friends.  Who needs a friend who's going to push you in front of a charging bear so he can run away?
