More European papers reprinting “offensive” Islamic cartoons

Via the Financial Times:

Angry protestors besieged a building housing the Danish embassy in Indonesia on Friday as more European newspapers reprinted cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad that have caused outrage across the Islamic world.

The international dispute escalated into a consumer boycott and risked the gravest cultural clash with the Muslim world since the Salman Rushdie affair.

Publication of the cartoons in Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands triggered condemnation in the Muslim and Arab world, where consumers turned their anger on Danish companies. Spain’s El Pais ran the cartoons on its front page on Friday.

Good. I hope more Euro papers reprint them in a show of solidarity against Islamic blackmail and terrorism.

“Peaceful” demonstrations

Looks like a wake-up call for the Europeans.Anti-European sentiment spread throughout the Middle East on Thursday after a number of European newspapers reprinted 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. Islamic scholars say that any portrayal of Moh…

Over at Iowa Voice I just started blogging. My introductory piece is on a Hamas owned children’s website demanding that Seville Spain and surrounding areas be returned to Moorish rule as it was before the Spanish king threw them out.

Also, CAIR is after KFI talk host, Bill Handel for making a parody of a traffic report at the Hajj.

Grats on blogging at Iowa Voice PCD! I just sent him $15 on the word of ST that he was a good guy in need of a little help. I’m happy to find out that she wasn’t lying

No, she was not lying. That trait is not in the Sister’s nature.

Maplethorpe, stuck a crucifix in urine and the religious rightwing Socialists came unglued but, Mohammad is fair game? How about we do the pope noodling young boys? The US condemned these tactless drawings, as we should have. If bush would strongly condemn them maybe he could get on the road to rehabilitation. Peace

Well, gee, steve, how many Christians hacked artists to death in response to Maplethorpe’s crummy ‘art’? Nary a one.

Your analogy is phony, as are you. Reality.

What steve?!?! You want bush to intervene in a religous matter?

What about separation of church and state?

Liberal should know all about that since they like to say it often enough when it suits THIER purposes…….

sanity… “irony” is not in the Liberals dictionary, along with words like hipochracy, duplicity, and anything else that underlines they’re feckless, up is down, green is red, day is night rediculous screeds….

So, Big Bang you do know who Big Brother is? Has somebody been hacked today? Not about religion but, about stupidity and sanity. Peace

Sure Steve…. “Big Brother” is a figment of the fevored Leftist brain… which generally in themselves is a no brainer….

Rick vid,

Do you know which beers are Danish? That sounds like a great idea, since I can say I’m only doing it for the Danes!

Steve, Americans did not want the government to pay for a bottle of urine with a cross in it. No one said the guy can’t urinate in a bottle and drop a crucifix in it if he’s in the mood. I’m guessing it would not be a money making venture though, if he could not sponge off the gov’t.

I don’t think Steve understands the concept of free speech, the ability to dissent, mock, tease and kid about anything we want to.

The point he tried to make about Piss Christ is luny – I’m a right-wing conservative, but even though I was insulted and angry about the Crucifix in urine, and I protested with a letter to the editor complaining that my taxes were paying for this ‘art’, I did not storm an art museum, gallery or anything else.

I have no problem with Muslims being unhappy with the cartoons – but when they demand trials for the cartoonists and want them beheaded, and when they kill people and burn embassies, well, that kind of behaviour is beyond the pale. And any news organization who refuses to print these basically typical cartoons is a chickenshit. Believe me, CNN, all the East Coast papers and more printed pictures of Piss Christ and of the Holy Virgin Mary in elephant dung – and no one died for doing that – and no one ever will because we are free to express ourselves in this country.
