Denmark On Muhammeds Naughty List

I have been kind of cartooned out for the past few days, but had an idea for a cartoon of my own on bobsleding, so I went searching and see others have already beat me to it.

Iran rides nuclear bomb during Olympic bobsled competition

Three Bonus Cartoons

Wyle E. Coyote joins Muslim radicals in cartoon protests

Muslim baker changes name of Danish pastry

Radical Islam 'defends' right to freedom of speech


Freedom of speech rules al queda and don't you forget it!!!!

The poor 12 artists who drew the cartoons - they probably have to hide for the rest of their lives.

There is not the Pakistani Imam who offers $1MM Bounty for Assassination of Danish Cartoonists


- now there is even a fatwa like the one against Salman Rushdie:

One of my fellow, infamous, citizens are provoking again!

This time it is Ahmed Akari that plays up the orchestra.
He is now agitating his fellow muslims, to burn their passports in the town square of Copenhagen.
He is also preparing for a 'workday-standstill'.

Akkari states, on behalf of his muslim brothers;

To translate it correctly into english is hard, but even in danish it makes not much sense. It says; "If You are burning for something, You invent useful means yourself."

Isn't this rather far off the sanity edge? Okay, go ahead make your illegal strikes so we can fire You, already. Oh, oh, You are buning your passports too? Brilliant. Saves the government from a lot of hassle, revoking them in the first place. If I, in any situation, in any land, came into some kind of issues/trouble, surely my passport, would be the last thing I would torch. Where is the sense in that?!? Morons!

Very intelligent strategy!!!!

One wonders what the response would be to something really serious. It is really hard to take issues seriously when we see this type of juvenile behaviour. Act like adults and perhaps you will treated with respect act like children and you will be laughed at and that is exactly what most intelligent people around the world are doing. If it makes Mr Akari and his followers feel good to burn their passports - a 12 month old would throw their bottle out of the pram. Burning passports is the over 12-month old chucking the bottle act.

To be honest the message from us should be GROW UP!!!!!

Imho, some good news.

Both the Imam Abu Laban and Ahmed Akkari, are facing a potential eviction!

Several persons have filed a case against them, having the police looking into their actions. They have so far gotten 17 filed complaints, according to vicecriminalinspector Magnus Andresen with Copenhagen Police .
Now, it is up to the police to consider their actions as damaging to the country!

I have been waiting for this for a relatively long time now, and finally, I can almost cheer!
I am concerned, tough, how the police is going to handle these cases they are getting. They say themselves, that they are going to gather them all, and file them in their journal, and consider the hold in the accusations at some time later, without giving any clue to when, if any actions are being taken.

Oh, I have forgot to mention, that Ahmed Akkari, in 2000, as a school-teacher tore off a 4th. grade kids' ear! The lady co-worker that later filed a complaint to the police for his actions, was later driven away from school, having the Principal at school making her two notes. One saying she was fired, with the reason of 'being uncooperative'... ...and one recommendation stating she was good with kids, and cooperative!

Thankyou. At least this idiot will now have to preach from Skid row. He has the blood of about 100 people in his hands, there would be no riots if that wretched faked picture hadn't gotten out.

Wow.

Jyllands-Posten has won a Danish critical journalism award for its initiative:




The Jyllands-Posten's editor, Carson Juste received the prize while guarded by two secret service bodyguards, noting "how fragile freedom of expression is" as he accepted the award.

A voice of reason. I have just returned from another trip to Malaysia. Although the story included in the attached link is a couple of weeks old it does lead us to some level of hope that the real reason for mass unrest (not the lunatic fringe stirring up the pot) will be discussed by intelligent men and then perhaps we can look forward to the real issues being dealt with.

www.ipsnews.net...

The discussion around various dinner tables in Malaysia was interesting. Whilst a couple of newspapers in Malaysia have suspended digging deeper shows that there were other issues with the said newspapers and in one case publishing the cartoons was the straw etc etc....

The New Straits Times after issuing an apology was not suspended.

www.abc.net.au...

Protests - 400 out of a population of over 24million. Interesting and just goes to show that religious tolerance and harmony can be achieved such as in Malaysia where there is a will to do so. Importantly also, where people are educated, reasonably comfortable, feel they have a future and are as a result feel secure they don't burn flags, destroy buildings and kill people.

So if i'm getting this right...

To you, Free speech is your right to insult me, and my lack of right to get upset agout it.
To you, free speech means that a country CANNOT cease trading with another country that has ticked them off?

In other words, freedom of speech for me but not for thee?

I'd just like to add that this protest was led by the opposition party, the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) and was more of a publicity stunt than anything else. The PAS leadership is reknowned for making a mountain out of a molehill.

Also, NST didn't publish the caricatures, it published something else -



Not really anything to fuss about, but as I said before, PAS is like that. They're getting better, more understanding, but the old voices still carry a lot of weight.

"Freedom of speech"... I think you got it all wrong and flipped it upside down seriously. Do you really believe "freedom of speech" is designed just for us to be able to insult you? Sorry pal, but somebody must be feeding you with loads of propaganda BS.

If I am going to a "holy place". A place that is holy for somebody else but not me. Someone´s religious place but obviously not Mecca as they would kill me if I tried . Then I take my shoes and/or hat off if required when entering the church or whatever it is. I wouldn´t want to insult anybodies religion by being respectless in their holy place. But respect goes both ways. You need to show respect to others before you can get respect yourself. You can´t burn my flag and embassy or whatever and yell "show us some respect, you evil bastards". Respect doesn´t work that way.

And a country who is about to cease trading with another country should have some sort of intelligence service to get their facts right. To me it´s like they´re just acting on gossip and rumours. Some guy in Denmark doesn´t get what he wants, he is acting childish and then makes up a totally crazy story. You know the "child beater" Akkari who has been frequently mentioned in this thread, he also claimed that Denmark forbids muslims to build a mosque in Denmark. Why do you believe him? It´s a big lie! It´s not true at all. Denmark have even set aside some property for this purpose. These are all facts that could be easily checked, but nope.... they boycot Denmark instead. Based on a pile of rotten lies and 12 "rather innocent" cartoons. Kindergarden politics. And that´s not an insult, that´s a fact If every nation in the world were to play out their foreign politics like these guys did, there would be total war. It would all be chaos.

In this case there is only one thing which is not a lie, and that is the 12 "rather innocent" cartoons which were blown out of propotions. Everything else told by Abu Laban and Akkari are lies. Abu Laban has connections to Al Qaeda. Stop listening to their dribbel. Too many people have died because of this already...

Um, people do it all the friggin time. Where have you been?

We have several different scholars who believe Jesus survived the crucifixion and had sex with Mary Magdelene, all of which are blasphemous ideas to the christian faith. Yet I dont see Christians burning colleges or demanding that Dan Brown be beheaded.

I dont care if its offensive to Muslims. They wanna protest, fine. They have the right to do so just as Christians had a right to protest the last temptation of Christ.

But they have no right to behave like they have been with violence and threats. And to be so petty over something so silly.

Irrational stupid people offend me. So can I riot and demand all Christians and Muslims who are offended by anything be kicked out of the countries they are in? Sok I wont be offended anymore?

Didnt think so.

Anybody saying Saudi Arabia isn't a despicable tyranny deserves to be ignored. That's the truth. I see many Muslims here complaining about Israel, but not one voice condemning the intolerant bigoted Saudis. That's what I calll *hypocrisy*.

Nakash it is the first time I agree with you about something. Saudi Arabia is surely despotic country where people don't have any kind of freespeech. People there are jailed if they form any kind of protest that the government don't agree about.



I have to make it clear that Saudi's despotism cannot be compared with Israeli's terrorism. Just take it straight and plain:
- Saudi Arabia is a despotic isolated country that does not interfere with other countries.
- Saudi doesn't form a threat on its neighbors. Saudi is very weak country , they have small army (10'000 men only) and they are protected by USA. Thus they follow and obey the orders from the White House.
While Israel:
- Israel Interfere with other countries they: assassinated leaders, pulled down governments, occupied others lands ... etc.
- Israel Forms a great threat on its neighbors, while those neighbors form less threat on Israel. Israel has WMD (with something like 200 nuclear heads) while the neighbors have prehistoric weapons. I am amazed how Israel is protected by a global war, from bunch of losers (I admit it; Arabs are bunch of losers). That "Global war to protect Israel" is being led by USA (since first Gulf War in 1991) and first successful outcome was destroying Iraq (Syria is next on the list).

Sorry If I am off topic I just let my thoughts to go on. Now , don't think that I am defending Saudis because I am not . I only wanted to make it clear that Israel is different story (very different indeed).

And how Right he is...

Wow Souljah, another rare moment when we're in complete agreement.

You got a WATS vote from me for that contribution!

Now, there is a statement on the Danish cartoon row from the European Union and the ministers put the first paragraph under discussion and this has been adapted so that freedom of speech has remained upright.



However, Denmark was "pleased" with the declaration and the "unanimity" that EU member states had demonstrated in supporting Denmark.

Great news Riwka.

I think somebody should apologise for burning the english flag. I saw a photo in a danish newspaper yesterday (paper, not online). Some protesters in India (yes, India) burned what they believed was the danish flag. However, they had switched the red and the white color on their homemade flag. It appeared like the english flag instead, a red cross on a white background. I'm not kidding



[edit on 2006/4/25 by Hellmutt]

Flemming Rose, the man behind the murders who commissioned the cartoons that have caused dozens of muslims to kill one another, has come out with an explanation of why he did so.



You can read the rest of the explanation here.

might be a little off topic but.......

----------------------------------------

"Arab and Islamic governments should pressure the United Nations to ban the slandering of religions, said more than 200 Arab politicians who renewed their criticism today of the contentious Prophet Muhammad cartoons.

The call, which was made at the end of a two-day conference at a Dead Sea resort in Jordan, comes amid outrage felt throughout the Islamic world over the publication in a Danish newspaper of a series of cartoons of Islam’s prophet."

breakingnews.iol.ie...

-----------------------------------------------------

some of these religions do more slandering of other religions than the rest of us put together if you include ALL the religions in the protection!!
