The web site of Ansar al-Sunna has posted a hit list of German newspapers that printed the heinous cartoons of heresy, calling on Muslims to avenge the honor of the prophet Mohammed (propellor beanie upon him): Online Magazine Hints at Attacks on Papers that Ran Muhammad Caricatures.

The publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad caused outrage and violence across the Muslim world several months ago. Now a militant Muslim group with a presence in Germany and other European nations has published a list of newspapers that reprinted the cartoons, urging Muslims to take action against Western journalists.

Ansar al-Sunna: “The path of jihad against the enemies of God is still available.”
The article in the latest issue of an online journal published by the terrorist group Ansar al-Sunna starts out innocently enough with a neutral chronicle of events: “On Sept. 17, 2005, the Danish newspaper Politiken published an article reporting that journalist Kare Bluitgen was having difficulties finding illustrators for his children’s book on the life of the prophet Muhammad.”

The next paragraph describes how another major Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, published a series of 12 cartoons representing the founder of Islam. In the second paragraph, the authors become more explicit, describing the newspaper as an “extremist crusader’s paper” controlled by Denmark’s “ruling party.”

At the end of the article, the authors formulate a call to violence that may seem roundabout at first, but which is unlikely to be misinterpreted by the online journal’s readership. It’s not a matter of a single newspaper, the authors write, but rather one “of international significance.” The gist of the article is this: Something needs to be done, the prophet must be avenged.
