The cartoon jihad was not purely a spontaneous outbreak of Islamic rage, as we’ve noted in several LGF posts; it was deliberately incited by a delegation of Danish Muslims who toured the Middle East and met with many of the highest Islamic clerics, showing them faked images in addition to the real ones published by Danish paper Jyllands-Posten. Michelle Malkin has more info on this outrageous deception today: The Lying Danish Imams.
In addition to the fake drawings and photos and the other lies included in the Danish imams’ propaganda pamphlet posted over at The Counterterrorism Blog, my reader reports that Danish radio has enumerated additional falsehoods.
The imams reportedly spread lies that the Jyllands-Posten had 120 cartoons, not 12, and that the paper was owned by the government. (There are no state-run newspapers in Denmark.) In addition, the imams reportedly claimed that the Danish government would censor the Koran, burn the Koran, and that Danes were planning to make a blasphemous movie about Mohammed.
