It is a power play.

They saw how their response to the Danish cartoons provoked so much cowardice in the west.

They have every reason to believe that they can exert power over us by stoking themselves up with this kind of outrage.

The proper response would to tell them to get stuffed.

Nothing like a good seethe in the morning before breakfast.

Cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad published in Denmark, and later reprinted in European newspapers

I wonder which European newspapers. Good on them.

Ignoring them won't make them stop. That's precisely what we have been doing. These cartoons that rile them up are pretty rare. We need to wake the world up to their crap before they outnumber us, not look the other way as they gain strength.

re: #10 Resistance Girl

Good call there; I was thinking jackass, but close enough.

Ever notice how the western press is assiduously scanned by muslims the world over in search of things to be offended by, but in all that exposure to western ideas, not a single good one ever gets absorbed. Story in that somewhere...

That cartoon looks like it was drawn by Napoleon Dynamite.

re: #43 mich-again

re: #39 BeerForMyHorses

We are more in agreement than not.

A more self assured West would chide them for their childishness, and make it clear that our freedoms are not subject to their approval.

The sketches are hostile toward the "Muslim world"?

First of hostile toward Muslims would be more along the lines of death threats or enmass protests holding placards in Farsi or Arabic saying something like "Death to Muslims" or, I dunno... how about "Ahmadinejad is the Great Satan"?

Second off, there is no Muslim world.... there is one world and they are co-inhabitants. Good, bad or ugly - we all have to share it.

This is more of the reason I think we should have nuked Afghanistan into radioactive rubble after 9-11. Nothing less will attract the Islamonazis (and they are all Islamonazis) attention.

re: #50 Syrah,

I learned a long time ago that if your enemies believe you will kick in their front door, come in and kill their entire family, and set the place on fire then you won't have to do so.

They will modify their behavior, which is, generally, the point of violence. I've never had to do approaching the most terrible things I've considered, simply because they were credible threats.

We can wipe out the Muslim world. The question is whether or not we will allow them to wipe us out instead.

I don't think that we will.

Islam is no laughing matter, but would be, if some idiots were not deadly serious about it.

It looks like some of our European friends are becoming annoyed with the misbehavior of our Islamic terrorists. First France elects a friend of America, the Swede tell them politely to shove it when they protest and the Swiss have started a campaign to kick out immigrants and their families if they commit crimes.
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]
It appears that Europeans are tired of the crime, murder, mayhem and rioting that the Islamic militants are terrorizing these societies with. Perhaps if they realize that there are consequences that societies impose on those who behave badly they might change the way they conduct themselves, and start behaving like civilized neighbors who respect the rule of law.

re: #56 Iron Fist

Is it me or does Syrah seem to contradict his/herself?

Muhammed was a war-mongering, sick in the head, pedophile who lusted after his own daughter-in-law! He made untold numbers of peoples' lives a living hell. He had people tortured and killed for making fun of him or not giving up the location to treasures after his band of thieves and criminals murdered tribes of people. He enslaved women and children. He made women whose sons he just murdered have sex with him the very same night and distributed women to his band of criminals as reward for killing for him. (Just like his imaginary Allah!)
Muhammed was a disgusting human being, and to call him a dog is a compliment he doesn't deserve!

re: #61 BeerForMyHorses

re: #7 Syrah

Oil, we cannot ignore these savages

What actually makes those pictures represent Mooooohammed and a dog, other that that the artist says so?

The headgear is barely reconisable as a turban and that does not automatically it "Mooooohammed". Also the animal part cannot be recognised as a dog, pig or camel.

Some sad losers need to grow up.

You could just as easily make a Mooooohammed from a watermelon or pumpkin with a rag on top of it. Maybe it would be an efficient scarecrow?

Anti-islamic scarecrows? That is a new idea. Off to the workshop!

Muslims are becoming more and more paranoiac. As soon as they see a dog with a beard they think that he is their prophet.

They should know that some bearded dogs are not prophets.

re: #36 Syrah

The proper response would to tell them to get stuffed.

That's almost what a swedish MP - Johan Pehrson of the Peoples Party - actually said:

Asked whether the editor of NA Ulf Johansson should apologize, Pehrson answers:
– Absolutely not. I've followed his statements on the radio and he has explained his position in an excellent way. We live in a free country and the publishing is within the bounds of tolerance. Those who have a different opinion might consider moving.

And of course he gets an upset response from the influential Yvonne Ruwaida of the Green Party:

– What Pehrson says, that you should leave the country if you disagree, creates a very intolerant debate climate. A very harsh debate climate which we don't benefit from.

Why they get so sensitive over some psycho pedophile is beyand me.
But ok they fell complelled to revere the prophet.
We do not feell that compulsion and they heve no right to demand it.
I am offended that they are offended and shall issue a Fatwa through by bartender.

They should at least be afraid that we would seriously consider it.

A big part of our problem in the Middle-East is that our enemies can bank on us failing to do them any meaningful harm “till they nuke a major western city.”

Even then, can we really be assured that our leaders in the West would have the nerve to drop a nuke or two?

I think our leaders in the West would fail the test.

As much as I admire both Tancredo and Hunter, neither of them has a snowballs chance. No one but us knows who they are. The msm will do their damnedest to keep it that way.

This here BBC article might sound like the Swedes are apologizing.

Sweden 'regrets' Prophet cartoon

They're doing nothing of the sort however. They're expressly NOT apologizing. They're "regretting that you feel that way".

But it gets better. Remember the artful Bin-Laden/Jesus and the Virgin Mary/Elephant Shit? Well...

The new drawing depicting the Prophet's head on the body of a dog was published in the Swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda on Sunday.

The cartoon's creator, Lars Vilks, told the Associated Press news agency the drawing was art.

"I'm not against Islam. Everybody knows that," he is quoted as saying.

re: #18 Thanos

re: #1 NoSubmission

Help, I'm stuck in the 7th century and I can't get up!

/nominate for rotating title.....

I second.

Charles? What sayest thou?

Muslims believe images of the Prophet are forbidden and consider dogs to be impure.

And all of this time I thought dog was man's best friend and members of the islamic cult were impure. I'll take the dog over a raving muslim mad man any day.

Have often wondered about muslims. They want 72 virgins when they go to heaven. Christians and Jews want only GODs saving grace. This could go a long way explaining why muslims are so mad. All they can expect is 72 virgins, and there can be only so many muslim virgins, while Christians and Jews will have ever lasting peace.

With so many family rapes of young muslim girls, there is going to be a very large shortage of virgins.

The Prophet George objects to implications that "The Prophet" is an unambiguous title.

After nearly 14 centuries the muslim prophet for profit (P4P) is a gift that keeps on giving. Are you what muslims consider to be an infidel? Here's some of the things that they feel they can do with impunity:

Kill you if you offend them since that is the way P4P handled interpersonal disputes.
Are you female who doesn't dress according to the muslims dress code? If you said yes then you could consciveably be raped just because you're available and the muslim male(s) have an itch (ok by the P4P).
Do you own property? Good, because according to islam they can take your property and there's nothing you can do about it(oky by the P4P).

Afghanistan complaining about disrespect for another religion? The grossest example of disrespect for another's religion was the destruction by Islamists in Afghanistan of the Buddhist statues carved into a mountain, that were carved in the 6th century. These were the Buddhas of Bamyan. But what is holy to another religion doesn't seem to stop Islamists from their carefully planned destruction. This destruction was done with the help of Saudi and Pakistani engineers.
[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

In contrast, what Afghanistan is complaining about is not anything comparable to what Afghanistan carried out against Buddhism. It was not the destruction of the Kaaba in Mecca, and the pulverization of the meteorite there. That has not happened. Instead, they are whining mightily over a drawing that someone drew, in exercising a most important freedom, freedom of speech (extended to freedom of drawing).
