Many people have decided to show "the Danish cartoons" on their websites so that they can stand with the Danish people against the Islamists. I've decided that a better strategy might be to hold up a mirror to the thugs that are threatening the people of Denmark for all the world to see. So, here goes...
Oh big brave Islamic Street, attacking the gigantic superpower that is Denmark. What?, you were afraid that mighty Switzerland might be too big for you to handle? And picking a fight with Vikings? Well, I'm here to tell you, this is not a smart move...

This one is submitted without comment...

I see your blasphemous cartoon, and raise you one posterboard sized hate crime.

Years of cow-towing to Islamic thugs and paying protection money, and this is all the French Politicians got for their money.

This guy was probably born into poverty in the Middle East and was forced to leave the country of his birth to survive, only to arrive in Christian infidel England where he was given asylum, human rights and a monthly stipend from the good people of the United Kingdom and Her Majesty, the Queen. All that work and sacrifice, just so he could go into "Shiny Londontown" and protest "freedom"; something he probably craved to do every day back on the streets of Cairo, but never had the right to do and if he did his fellow righteous Islamic brothers would have simply had him killed for speaking out. But here he is, enjoying more freedom and wealth than he has ever known in his life, so what does he decide to do? Thats right, in the words of Groucho Marx "he's against it". Of course he has no intention of returning to a place that has no freedom, because "that would be wrong".
Irony, thy name is "Ali"( or is it: Confused, thy name is "Ali"? or Blithering Idiot, thy name is "Ali"...).

There is nothing the endears me more to a political ideal than the ability to express it in a rhyme. This phrase almost begs me to say "Burma Shave" at the end, which totally spoils its ability to frighten me...

"Butcher", "Behead" and "Slay". Hmmm, that could be the name of a law firm. And hey, two of you fellas is carrying the same sign and all of those signs look like they were written in the same handwriting, what are the odds of that? Someone might begin to think this wasnt a completely spontaneous protest.

You know its easy to say things like this when you know the two cops in front of you arent carrying any guns. And exactly how much respect can you get as a policeman when you have to wear those stupid hats and those damn emergency yellow safety vests? Can you see LAPD Det. Sgt. Joe Friday bouncing around town in that getup?

You know, I didn't like Aaron Brown either, but I didn't get in a huff, I just turned the channel (like everyone else). I didnt run down in my burka and throw a protest over it. Come on folks, its on CNN, its not like anyone is watching it or anything. CNN is like a lava lamp with only slightly better audio.

Apparently, there are no "Stairmasters" or low fat/high fiber diets in Islam. Maybe they are also considered "blasphemous"? Jenny Craig - Infidel Blasphemer! Weight Watchers is Pagan Idolatry! Dr. Atkins advocates the eating of unclean pork!

What's that poster on the left saying? Are they calling out the "Fantastic 4" to help them? Are they kidding me? What, they couldnt get Aquaman? How about Gumby and Pokey for cryin' out loud. I think those folks need to swab out the bongwater in that hookah they've all been smoking. Here's a clue hadji, the "Fantastic 4"?, its a cartoon, a graphic novel and finally a movie, and not a very good one at that. It's not real, ok? You see, thats whats missing in Islam, a really great superhero. Well, they probably had one, but they wont let anyone show pictures of him without everyone going street level insane which really puts a crimp in comic sales...
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Islamic Jihad. I might be on your side about blasphemy and hold your values with more respect if you didn't hold so many of these utterly abhorrent ideas so dear to your day to day life. Look at those posters, you see those words "Kill" , "Destroy" , "Butcher" , "Beheadings", "Slay"?. Is this really the language of the "religion of peace" or the language of something else?
I'm not impressed by street violence, or street theater. You cant change my mind with a threat. Come talk to me about blasphemy when you learn how to feed your people. Come talk to me about blasphemy when you teach your children that suicide is always wrong. Come talk to me about blasphemy when you have something besides a sword to show the world.
We are not afraid of you. We stand with the Danes.

This is terrible I know-but is anyone besides me glad it was Denmark's cartoons, Denmark this time and not-us?? It's the cold eyes of that veiled person that makes me think this...

Do we really need any clearer proof of the difference between us and them?
Did the 'fundamentalist Christian fanatics' respond with threats of beheading when that fraud masquerading as an artist dunked a crucifix in a jar of urine? Or when The Last Temptation of Christ came out? Or when the NYT declared God is Dead? Or when any artist/poser who wants to feign intellectual depth, attacks religion? Or when....you get the picture.
Do we really need any clearer picture or manifestation of self loating and hatred that is the core of the modern left, than seeing them make excusess for the threats and intimidation of those who would kill them?
Ofcourse those who side with the barbarians would say it's not nice to caricature allah!

I was going to leave a comment on your previous post about the ISS but the comment feature isn't working there.
Posted by: rws at February 3, 2006 08:49 PM
What where those idiots thinking? No opposition could have damaged their position more then themselves just have.
The islamic world goes though it's "dark-ages". Like when there was a kind-of political void in europe and the roman-catholic church took over? Which resulted in all hell breaking out all over europe with witch hunts and more nasty stuff? That's where most of the islamic world lives today, and that is the kind of world most people there have to learn to live in.
And then they come to europe...
I think one could make a case that these kind of violent and political active religions are incompatible with political freedom, security and peace?

I had to stop a moment and comment on your blasphemy! Fantastic Four is a comic book first, then a cartoon, and THEN an OK movie!
All attempted joking aside, this is a perfect example of the mindset we face in certain parts of the world. One day, the West will wake up and realize what it is facing-or so I hope.
Posted by: BenD at February 4, 2006 05:32 AM
this crap was so staged.
Grand Ayatolla Al-Sistani called these guys out yesterday as orchastrated thugs, suggesting that millitant muslims were partly to blame for distorting Islam's image.
he said, "Enemies have exploited this...to spread their poison and revive their old hatreds with new methods and mechanisims."
dayum, can you imagime what an islamic comedy club must look like?
must be more depressing than the Empty Quarter in Saudi.

eurabia doesn't like your cartoons.
wake up people before you lose your countries.

The bigotry that consists of not drawing something or someone, concerns only those who believe. In addition, these caricatures are not just a drawing, they mean something that, as I understand, can be considered by muslims as displeasant. The meaning of the drawings is that : any time you disagree with islam, no matter what the subject is, their reaction is to threaten you, to bomb your institutions, to cut the throat of your citizens and murder innocents. It seems that islam has no valuable argument to give in a civilized dialog. This is the message carried by the drawings. The islamic answer to this question proves that the caricaturers' message was perfectly right.
To the question : "Why does islam always dialog with threats ?" the islam has answered in worldwide unity :" If you repeat this, I'll kill you"
Clear !

Thank you for saying that. We "Le Réseau Liberté" (the network of freedom) we are with you.

Are the Muslims on these pictures so not confident into their own faith that they feel endangered by a few cartoons? Did someone tell them that middle age is over?
Posted by: FOSTER at February 5, 2006 01:56 AM
Je me demande pourquoi l'Islam ne parvient pas à vivre de façon pacifique avec les autres religion quelles qu'elles soient: boudhisme, christianisme, judaisme... Je suis convaincu que lorsqu'on ne s'entend avec personne, le réel problème, c'est vous.
Posted by: VIVI at February 5, 2006 12:53 PM
I should like to be authorised to publish your pictures in my newspaper (called EURAFRIQUE). For this reason, I sould appreciate to receive your answer as soon as possible. Thanks a lot. Very truly yours.

The pictures are from http;//www.Yahoo.com, the comments are my own.
Here is the location I found many of the pictures:

They are not 'photoshopped'.

Translation of the french comment comes out something like this ( excuse my high school french):
"I wonder why Islam does not manage to live in a peaceful way with the other religion whatever they are: buddism, christianity,judaism.I am convinced that when one does not put oneself with anybody, the real problem is you."
I deeply apologize to the author if I got it wrong.
Posted by: frank martin at February 5, 2006 05:45 PM
Didn't the same Europeans and the left just a few weeks ago thoght that Israel is the real threat to world peace?
I hope the Europeans getting it now. The left always lived on self deception and is a lost case.

does any one amongst you even realize that caricatures of Jesus were refused by the same magazine a year back, because of being in bad taste and because it was said by the editor that they'd hurt the feelings of christians?
Posted by: SAM at February 7, 2006 11:19 AM
but then again, the above response is enough to spend shivers down any ones back
Posted by: SAM at February 7, 2006 11:33 AM
I don't think the real problem is the caricatures. I think it is only a "veil" that extremists around the world are agitating before our eyes. I truly believe that the problem lies into a lack of adaptation of that religion. I do respect everybody's religion but why should I be scared of a muslim more than a budhist? why is it the only religion that allows "misinterpretation" and promises "paradise" to its "heroes" who "slayed" westerners?
the caricatures were simply an excuse to blame western countries for their lack of respect, go in the streets and break buildings.
Maybe such "heroes" carrying posters should "unveil" so everybody can recognise them and admire their courage! In western europe, you are allowed to have different opinions and that is what the liberty of the press is all about!!! so, remove your scarf and let us see your face, let the world know who it is that is so angry and wishes to slay christians. explain to me the bombings in Paris in 1995, explain to me the bombings in London in 2005, just tell me why we should respect you if you don't respect us? why are you right and we are wrong? why people who wish to change religion have to hide in fear of blasphemy?
mixing up religion and politics has always been the source of trouble because religion does not allow objectivity. it is your belief and you cannot impose it on anybody else. you can talk and argue about it but in the west, when somebody tries to impose its ideas on people, we call that a dictature. when people are not free to think by themselves because of a religion we call it a secte. where do you people think you are standing? don't you think it is time to review islam? it is possible to respect traditions and yet to embrace modern life. you don't have to live in a hut to make your prayers more intense. you don't have to suffer to make god(whoever that is to you) listen to you more. your god is not better than my god and vice versa. wife beating and slef blowing up are not the tools of love. ask your wife, not your imam!
I don't want to behead you because you offended me, I don't want to slay you because you killed a member of my familly, I don't want to butcher you because you don't like freedom.
let me speak freely in MY country and I welcome you here as well as I would welcome a nice talk without machineguns, bazouka and grenades because if you like things that make noise and blow things up, we also have that peaceful alternative, we have firecrackers and fireworks that are much prettier than a stream of blood down the streets of our cities. think about it and move on,te caricatures were published a while ago, you are pissed off, we got the message, now back off and lets instaure a dialog instead.

Les pancartes sont choquantes. Je n'en crois pas mes yeux. A londres en plus! L'appel au crime, à la tuerie, au massacre, n'est-elle pas un crime? Si c'était les chrétiens, les juifs, les boudhistes qui marchaient avec de telles pancartes, le monde entier allait dénoncer (avec raison) fortement de pareils appels à la vengeance et à la tuerie mais quand ce sont les islamistes, nous nous taisons. Notre silence ne fait que donner du pouvoir aux extrémistes et aux intégristes. Ceux et celles qui appellent au meurtre doivent répondre devant la justice. Un point-un trait.
Posted by: Patrice Nimanbao at February 8, 2006 05:17 AM
The phrase "Fantastic 4" is the way the Euro Islamacists refer to the London Underground bombers of July 7th. Nice, huh?

I think the real problem is religion!
I hope one day human beings could live without this ideas!We will visit our churches likes now we visit greek temples and we will not be juged kilty if we DO NOT believed in god!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: HERVE at February 12, 2006 06:49 AM
Well, obviously its religion and the silly rubes who believe in God that is causing all the problems.
They should learn from all the enlightened nations where religion is outlawed ( E.g. Soviet Union - Communist China- North Korea - Cuba) and where everything is just wonderful and peaceful as can be.
Posted by: frank martin at February 12, 2006 09:57 AM
Outstanding!
We were laughing so hard at your captions that the wife came downstairs to see what was wrong.
If the people of Islam wanted to prove to the rest of the world how false those cartoons of Muhammed wearing a flaming bomb for a turban were, what better way to do it than by burning down embassies, threatening lives, and rioting?
Sorry.
What have they succeded in doing?
Our family has now made a point of learning all about the history and geography of Denmark. We are now actively buying Danish products whenever possible, and telling all of our friends to do the same.
That's what the Muslims have convinced us to do with their sickening displays of violence, hatred, and death threats, all over a cartoon.
We stand with Denmark!

bonjour,
je suis français et je suis atterré de constaté le manque de tolérance des musulmans. si on devait exterminer tout ceux qui se moque du catholicisme il n'y aurait plus beaucoup de chrétien vivant.
c'est dommage pour eux mais je trouve marrant ces carricatures et je ne vois pas pourquoi faire une telle polémique.
Posted by: regent at February 16, 2006 05:00 AM
apres on va suivre tout ce qu'il disent de faire?
I hate them, what kind of religion it is? Killing, stabbing, want to fight all the world for a draw?????????
Posted by: anonymus at February 18, 2006 12:35 PM
ignorants
Si vous laissez les musulmans tranquils ils feront un plaisir de vous oublier, cela dit lorsque je lis vos commentaires, je confirme que cette vie n'est que matérielle pour vous, jadis c'était les occidentaux qui tuaient, à présent vous semblez convaincre le monde pour dire le contraire ... vos crimes d'hier, d'aujourd'hui et de demain ne sont que la cause qui va préparer du terrain à l'islam, d'après ce qu'on voit, vous ne faites que de salir votre réputation, vous avez réussi à réveiller une haine contre vous, et c'est ALLAH qui vous guide vers ce chemin pour une raison que nous connaissons bien, c'est bizarre! on dirait que vous n'êtes pas conscients de ce que vous faites ..... vous ne regardez pas autours de vous, vous n'essayez pas de comprendre, c'est normal puisque ALLAH nous a parlé de ce qui va se passer... conclusion: tout se passe comme prévu
profitez bien de la vie pauvres ignorants, on se réveille

It is written in the Koran that all infidels should be killed!
Infidels are non-believers.
Watch your backs,Sharia law is heading our way.
