Bounty set over Prophet cartoon


news.bbc.co.uk
The purported head of al-Qaeda in Iraq has offered a reward for the murder of a Swedish cartoonist over his drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
The $100,000 (£49,310) reward would be raised by 50% if Lars Vilks was "slaughtered like a lamb" said the audio message aired on the internet.

Sounds like psychological warfare to me. Definitely a form of terrorism in my book. Unless folks know what magic really is, well, I guess they will fall for stuff like this. The way to break the spell is not to publish the spell in the first place. The head of al-Qaeda knows that all he has to do is utter some words so that 90% of his task will be completed. Why doesn't the so-called advanced and sophisticated west seem to demonstrate that same level of intelligence.

It's the oldest trick in the book. The good book, that is.

Genesis, Chapter 1, Verse 1-4:


1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 - And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.


Now if that isn't clear, I cannot make it more clear. Being religious or holding the belief in God is not necessary to read, understand, and learn from the Bible. Maybe the so-called sophisticated people's should read more of the Bible. Very ironic if the media publishes those threats without understanding the technique of the threats.

Personally, I think the media does understand those tricks because I find them in nearly every news article I read. And the advertising industry thrives on using them. Anyway, if they didn't want terrorism to spread, then they wouldn't spread terrorism to begin with.

[By the way, to those religious, Christians, Jews, and others, please do not confuse my example as making a statement that God is a terrorist. My intention was to highlight a device that was apparently used by God as told by Moses, the author of the book of Genesis.]

And he said the Swedish government ought to apologise - otherwise al-Qaeda in Iraq would target "their economy and giant companies such as Ericsson, Volvo, Ikea, Scania".

I have to say, though, that this quote sounds more like the kind of thing that a corporation would say, and not fundamentalist religious terrorists. That's weird.

Actually this is the only offensive one of the seven images from the DANISH row. Nothing to do with the images in question in THIS OP.

BTW, I think the image you bring is not only offensive but artistic worthless.

Maybe you should relax a bit and watch out not to spread disinfo.

Sorry if I offend You.

But you do bring an image -and it's definately a most offensive one to any Muslim -as though it was the one of those discussed here- and it is not.

I think you should have been aware of that when posting it.

Maybe you were, but in that case it would have nothing to do with humour, but with insult. Not to me or many, if any ATS'er.

Keep in mind others are watching too.

You don't want to get threats against ATS ..uh?

All I'm saying there is no reason to display the images here, as anyone can find them if they wanna look them.

This said for the seroiusity of the discussion. But you did knew, it was NOT one of the Swedish you posted, didn't you?

Hint: If you do wanna bring sensibel images, do it in an external image.


[edit grammar]

PS: Maybe I'm paranoid.

No I was saying that basically because 1 legit threat was made against a cartoonist by a real terrorist doesnt mean there are not cia agents posing as terrorists. There is always more that meets the eye.


Replying to Mupett Galacticus, The terrorism was not given attention in the US because it would create more terrorism by giving fame to terrorists, so it was not normal for them to go into it so much on TV, repetition mind control is now the norm.
