Many bloggers are tearing through the internet discussing the Danish cartoons that have set of violence through out the Middle East. See here,here, here, here, and here. You get the point!
One point that is center to the discussion is the fact that our MSM had failed to show these cartoons out of respect for “muslims” everywhere…..ABC has now broken ranks and shown some of cartoons. SisterToldja has a link to Tim Blair, in which he states that the MSM had no problem running Abu Garib photos, but somehow, by showing the cartoon, muslims will be offended?

I’m beginning to get very tired of these animals. One need only go to a website like Aljazeera to see how they cartoon us. The pot calling the kettle black. Well, at least the civilized, free speaking world, is watching and seeing where their outrage lies.
Indeed.:evil::mad:

I hate to say this, and I know it’s a horrible thing to say but….
Europe NEEDS their 9/11….it’s the only way that they are going to wake up and see what these animals are.
If I had a newspaper, I would put a picture of someone taking a dump on Mohammed’s head on a daily basis.
Has anyone seen the cartoons of Jews that are printed in the newspapers of the “religion of peace”? Frightening.

The muslim world’s reaction to one newspaper in Denmark publishing a cartoon caricature, and a very mild (and true) one at that, shows that in general, the muslim world is an uncivilized one. How can it coexist when the rest of the world is moving forward and Islam is stuck in the 8th Century?
There may have to be a new Crusade. The final one.

Yes, I have seen those cartoons Mike and I think you are right. It may be a terrible thing to say but Europe doesn’t seem to “get it” yet. If London and Madrid were not enough then maybe they do need more convincing. Either way I think they are getting it now with all the muslim animal riots.
I would also go one step further and say that there are some in our own country who still need waking up. Just say liberal.

Mike: Very true. Unfortunately that may not even be enough. We had our 9/11, and look how many idiots here in this country have already “forgotten” what that was like. I see their letters to the editor in the local propaganda organ (newspaper) every day, spamming the letters section with their rote DemokRat talking points.
Remember the post 9/11 scene of solidarity, with the Congress standing together on the steps of the Capitol singing and pledging to stand united? That lasted a short time indeed. In just a matter of months the Rats were already undermining Bush. In Europe, they are even further down the road of socialism and idiocy. Those recent riots in France should have been wake-up-call enough. Yet the Frogs found plenty of ways to excuse that away (oh, they just need good jobs! uh-huh…).
You are right, Mike, Europe does need a bigger wake-up call. And unfortunately, there will have to be another one in this country before we finally stand up en masse, reject the Chapatraitors, Turban Durbins, and Lunatics of the Left. Innocent people will die and all of our lives will be seriously disrupted, and the sad reality of it will be that it didn’t really ahve to happen if more people had just pulled their heads out of their asses in time.
But too many people can’t think clearly that far ahead. They can only operate effectively in reactive mode.

agreed…
and I happened to click by Wolf Blitzer on Sunday, during a brief respite from 12 hours of STEELERS GLORY!!!, and he was interviewing the Saudi Ambassador, regarding these animals..and that fuck blitzer threw softball after softball after softball…. He even showed him cartoons featuring hook-nosed Jewish caricatures printed in SAUDI PAPERS!! and still didnt’ follow up with the animals….
Fox news if the ONLY credible news source left.

There are two reasons why it’s better for the West (but not the Danish and Norwegian embassies) that it happened this way.
First, the timing is perfect. The latest issue of Rolling Stone depicts rapper Kanye West as a Christ-like figure in a crown of thorns with the title: “The Passion of Kanye West.” The cover shot is a disgusting affront to Christians, and certainly as blasphemous as the cartoons were to Muslims.
As a result, no one was surprised when Christians firebombed Rolling Stone headquarters in New York.
Oh wait, didn’t happen.
Okay, well no one was surprised when Christians threatened to firebomb the building.
Nope, didn’t happen either.
Rarely does history provide such a perfect point of comparison, and the contrasting responses could hardly be more telling: When faced with a nearly identical situation, one faith resorted to violence, threats and rage like unruly savages; the other was civil, responding (if at all) with letters to the editor, calls for a boycott and many public denunciations.
Second, the rage of the Muslim world again lays bare radicalism for all the world to see. A similar fervor was set off in 2005 in response to purported Koran desecration at Guantanamo Bay. People died then, many of them Muslims. But it didn’t matter. The rage is as overwhelming as it is contagious.
Victor Davis Hanson has called this the “lunacy principle,” that is, “these people are capable of doing anything at anytime.”
That’s what makes Iran so scary. When President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust and says “Israel must be wiped off the map” he really means it. And if his nuclear program continues unabated, he might just wake-up one morning and do it.
And that’s the thing, for all their shrewd and secret plots, most radical Muslims are remarkably forthcoming: they seek the destruction of Western civilization, beginning with Israel, in order to establish a world-wide caliphate.
That blueprint should scare secular America more than, say, a well-organized group of pro-life activists. But in many cases, it doesn’t. Trace it to comfort or laziness: it’s easier to create a paper tiger out of the “Religious Right” and to rail against their “bigoted” and “intolerant” policies than to acknowledge the true threats posed by radical Islam.
It’s early yet, but the cartoon protests may go a long way in changing this mentality, in expanding horizons beyond the water’s edge. President John Quincy Adams once said that America should not go “abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” Well, he might have added that America should not create monsters at home over relatively tame ideological differences. After all, these days we don’t have to search very far for monsters. They’re already in the streets, calling our name

Very well said Mike. My only thought is that I hope civilized society realizes what they might have to do in order to eliminate this radical islamic threat.
February 6, 2006 - 04:41 PM on February 6th, 2006
Wow, after looking at the blog links, these Jihadists aren’t fooling around. They’re serious!
Clearly, we need to make a peace offering, mollify them, admit that a grievous mistake was made. Blood must be shed to atone for the crime.
Let’s round up leading Leftists, the biggest mouths and the worst traitors, and send them to the Chief Mullah to be used as sacrifices.

Outstanding article on this issue…
As my regular readers know, I’ve long been skeptical of the “Religion of Peace” moniker for Muslims — for at least 3,000 reasons right off the top of my head. I think the evidence is going my way this week.
The culture editor of a newspaper in Denmark suspected writers and cartoonists were engaging in self-censorship when it came to the Religion of Peace. It was subtle things, like a Danish comedian’s statement, paraphrased by The New York Times, “that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Quran.”
So, after verifying that his life insurance premiums were paid up, the editor expressly requested cartoons of Muhammad from every cartoonist with a Danish cartoon syndicate. Out of 40 cartoonists, only 10 accepted the invitation, most of them submitting utterly neutral drawings with no political content whatsoever.
But three cartoons made political points.
One showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying “Stop, stop — we ran out of virgins!” — which I believe was a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular — oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence.
In order to express their displeasure with the idea that Muslims are violent, thousands of Muslims around the world engaged in rioting, arson, mob savagery, flag-burning, murder and mayhem, among other peaceful acts of nonviolence.
Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back.
The little darlings brandish placards with typical Religion of Peace slogans, such as: “Behead Those Who Insult Islam,” “Europe, you will pay, extermination is on the way” and “Butcher those who mock Islam.” They warn Europe of their own impending 9/11 with signs that say: “Europe: Your 9/11 will come” — which is ironic, because they almost had me convinced the Jews were behind the 9/11 attack.
The rioting Muslims claim they are upset because Islam prohibits any depictions of Muhammad — though the text is ambiguous on beheadings, suicide bombings and flying planes into skyscrapers.
The belief that Islam forbids portrayals of Muhammad is recently acquired. Back when Muslims created things, rather than blowing them up, they made paintings, frescoes, miniatures and prints of Muhammad.
But apparently the Quran is like the Constitution: It’s a “living document,” capable of sprouting all-new provisions at will. Muslims ought to start claiming the Quran also prohibits indoor plumbing, to explain their lack of it.
Other interpretations of the Quran forbid images of humans or animals, which makes even a child’s coloring book blasphemous. That’s why the Taliban blew up those priceless Buddhist statues, bless their innocent, peace-loving little hearts.
Largely unnoticed in this spectacle is the blinding fact that one nation is missing from the long list of Muslim countries (by which I mean France and England) with hundreds of crazy Muslims experiencing bipolar rage over some cartoons: Iraq. Hey — maybe this democracy thing does work! The barbaric behavior of Europe’s Muslims suggests that the European welfare state may not be attracting your top-notch Muslims.
Making the rash assumption for purposes of discussion that Islam is a religion and not a car-burning cult, even a real religion can’t go bossing around other people like this.
Catholics aren’t short on rules, but they couldn’t care less if non-Catholics use birth control. Conservative Jews have no interest in forbidding other people from mixing meat and dairy. Protestants don’t make a peep about other people eating food off one another’s plates. (Just stay away from our plates — that’s disgusting.)
But Muslims think they can issue decrees about what images can appear in newspaper cartoons. Who do they think they are, liberals?

From the above article:
“Largely unnoticed in this spectacle is the blinding fact that one nation is missing from the long list of Muslim countries (by which I mean France and England) with hundreds of crazy Muslims experiencing bipolar rage over some cartoons: Iraq. Hey — maybe this democracy thing does work! The barbaric behavior of Europe’s Muslims suggests that the European welfare state may not be attracting your top-notch Muslims.”
If the klowns tried rioting or destroying in this country, they would find us far less sympathetic to their cause than some others.
On the other hand, can you just imagine the skum that would be coming out of the woodwork to defend/assist arrested rioters? ACLU, etc. would be trying to sue the cops, sue the Gov’t, sue anyone and everyone for violating the rights of these poor people that just want to express their opinion!
And of course, they’d charge “torture” in custody? Oh, yes, they’d come out of the woodwork like the boll-weevils that they are.

Yeah Robert..did you hear the latest? Muslim animals, on a hunger strike at Gitmo, are complaining that the tubes being used to forcefeed these barbarians are being inserted and removed in an “abusive and hurtful” manner.
is there no end to America’s Barbaric torture??
February 9, 2006 - 03:22 PM on February 9th, 2006
Oh my! NEW TORTURE @ Gitmo! Now what shall we do? ChapaTed, where are you? WE ARE SO evil!
If it was up to me, I would have fed them to the sharks a long, long time ago.
