While I don't find it a particularly funny cartoon, I am pleased that somebody in publishing had the moxie to print it.
If all the world's non-muslim publishers voluntarily put themselves under sharia standards of conduct we lose!

It [the Pakistani Min. of Foreign Affairs] went on to say that the Swedish Chargé d’Affaires said the Swedish government “fully shared the views of the Muslim community” and called the publication “unfortunate.”

So what's their view on the ongoing cross-border incursions by some of their more excitable citizens into Afghanistan? Or are cartoons more important?

Hey, Mo!

I am offended at Islam for this...

...(IsraelNN.com) Top Israeli archaeologists held an emergency press conference on Thursday, warning that a Second Temple courtyard wall is in danger of being destroyed by the Arab excavations there.

Members of the Committee to Prevent the Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities warned that other artifacts could also be endangered by the unsupervised dig.

Dr. Gavriel Barkai opened by saying, "A month and a half ago, the Muslim Waqf [religious trust] began digging a trench more than 400 meters [1,300 feet] long - the largest such work ever carried out on the Temple Mount... These are criminal acts that have no place in a cultured country."

"Some man-worked stones have been found in the trench, as well as remnants of a wall that according to all our estimations, are from a structure in one of the outer courtyards in the Holy Temple. Such important work is being done without the supervision of the Antiquities Authority."

I think this is a crime.

Just once, I would like to see one of these jokers figure out that their actions might have prompted people to insult them.

It's childish, and uncalled-for (and the cartoon sucks), but it's a predictable human reaction. A significant number of members of this group insults, degrades, bullies, bombs, and KILLS members of other groups on a near-daily basis. Building an unnecessary mosque right next to a historic cathedral was just one example. Endlessly claiming Spain as stolen Muslim territory is another. Blowing uop trains in Madrid? How many eyes can you poke your finger into before someone takes offense and just doesn't like you?

Even Euros are going to eventually develop a bad taste in their mouths.

Even USAmericans (I do not find the term redundant) will eventually look up from their other trivial pursuits and notice.

And the first bits of notice, like the deliberate cartoon jabs, are going to be rude, in all likelihood.

The Muslim "Tribble" Effect

Such homage to a mortal being smacks of idolatry.

Well, back when Jimmuh Carter was President, Pakistan permitted a mob to attack the US embassy and kill a US Marine, based simply on the rumor that the US was involved in a Shia vs Sunni riot at the Hajj in Mecca.

Since I imagine the Swedes evoke a similar amount of fear as Jimuh Carter does, if the Swedes don't cower like dogs their embassy will be a smoking ruin, their diplomatic staff dead and maybe raped.

I suppose the solution is not to have an embassy in Pakistan, prohibit travel to Pakistan, and then just ignore the whining. But that isn't the European way.

Lebanon's pro-Syrian president said on Thursday he would appoint an interim government headed by the army chief if rival Lebanese leaders cannot agree on a new head of state before his term expires in November.

President Emile Lahoud's remark raised the stakes in a deep political conflict which pits the anti-Syrian Beirut government, backed by the United States, against an opposition coalition including factions allied to Damascus and Tehran.Such a step by Lahoud, who has already hinted he could appoint a new cabinet, would result in two governments, assuming army commander Michel Suleiman were to accept the job, analysts said.

#63: The more I read about China, the less convinced I am about its superpower future. I don't question China's potential to become the world's leading power, but as history shows, potential alone is not enough to ensure actual success. China also had the potential to become the first civilization to initiate the Industrial Revolution during the Song dynasty, but for some reason it failed and the torch passed to Europe. Many of China's best and brightest leave for Western countries, especially the United States, and never look back. Why do they do so if this truly is the dawn of the Chinese century? I am convinced that free speech in the long run has a major impact on the economic development of a country. If the Chinese cannot ensure some measure of political liberty, I'm not sure their current economic progress is sustainable in the long run.

This begs another question: What happens if there is an economic collapse and political revolution in China? Isn't it likely that this will trigger a flood wave of migrants to the West? If so, can we handle that? Yes, the Chinese as other non-Muslims are always preferable to Muslims as immigrants, but the problem with the Chinese is that there are so many of them. We are already faced with rising ethnic tensions. Mass immigration constitutes an existential threat to the West in the 21st century. There are hundreds of millions, potentially billions, of people who want to live in our countries. We obviously cannot let them all in. Yet our corporate, political and media elites keep pushing an unsustainable open border ideology. We need to push for a more ruthless enforcement of our borders. This isn't about some hypothetical possibility of earning a few more bucks over the next five years, it is about our very survival as a civilization.

Saudi sends frozen camel samples to France
Web posted at: 8/30/2007 2:20:10
Source ::: AFP

RIYADH %u2022 Saudi Arabia has sent frozen samples of dead camels to France to try to discover why dozens are dying each day, along with cattle and sheep, newspapers said yesterday. Al Watan newspaper said 60 more camels died on Tuesday as well as 400 sheep and seven cows. There was no official confirmation of the figures.

The camel samples were sent on Tuesday as Saudi officials came under increasing criticism by owners of herds for not acting more quickly to try to determine ways to tackle the problem.

On August 25, some two weeks after the beasts began to die, Agriculture Minister Fahd bin Abdul Rahman Balghnaim said nearly 2,000 camels had died. "It is not because of an infectious disease. These were cases of poisoning," the minister was quoted as saying by the SPA.

Balghnaim said the animals were fed bran that had been bought from traders whose bran stocks were contaminated.

Islamic militants ambushed several vehicles carrying dozens of soldiers in troubled northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, kidnapping at least 25 of them after snatching their weapons, officials said.

The soldiers were traveling between Wana, the main town in South Waziristan and Ladha, another town in the region, two intelligence officials said on condition of anonymity because of agency policy. One of the officials said at least 25 soldiers were kidnapped, while the other said there were between 70 and 100 soldiers taken. An army officer based near the capital, Islamabad, confirmed the incident, but provided no further details.

Sweden: Iran upset at "Mohammed dogs"

Sweden is currently dealing with its own "cartoon crisis" after a Swedish newspaper published a cartoon of Mohammed as a dog. Iran has officially protested the cartoon and Iranian President Ahmadinejad has blamed the Zionists for it.

The claim came during a tirade against Israel, in which Ahmadineja accused Zionists of sowing conflict, publishing offensive cartoons and "lying about being Jewish."

"Zionists are people without any religion," Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly predicted that Israel is doomed to disappear, told a news conference in Tehran. "They are lying about being Jewish because religion means brotherhood, friendship and respecting other divine religions," he said.

I would agree with this one if and only if they make the burqa babes remove their headgear as well so it can be thoroughly searched for contraband.

sacred personalities?
you mean the sociopathic delusional warmongering pedophile?

That's a keeper ... I'm saving the link!

Freedom of expression is an absolute. There is no gray area. The Dixie Chicks can say whatever they want, and people are free to avoid their throw-away bubblegum brand of country music...just as the Swedish press/creatives should be able to doodle anything they like, followed by the requisite scream by Islamic Rage Boy. Special treatment for anything or anyone runs smack in the face of the original premise. Why is it so difficult for people to understand?

Hey, the seething muslims want it just like in the days of their prophet for profit. Insult him and you die. Insult the moon-dog allah and you die. Show disrespect and you die.

The war started 14 centuries ago. We just thought it was over and forgot about it.

They want to rumble? I say lets get it on, we're not getting any stronger or younger.

These [bigoted word]s need to get over themselves and their false prophet. Only idiots follow a false prophet

No real new news here.

Muslims are offended by absolutely everything western including all infidels. Cartoon not required.

re: #83 Nisse

Thanks.

Its not like Sweden is a real democracy. You have your choice of center-left (socialist) and center-right (socialist) parties. Actual voices of dissent are not shut down with jackbooted SMG toting thugs, but by a pat on the arm and a gentle "you are not allowed to have that opinion in public", followed by a fine and the threat to remove your broadcasting license. They just go thru the motions of elections.

Then why don't they stay in their own f'n countries.

I don't understand how it can be claimed that a billion Muslims who don't live in my country can control what I say or write or do. In a kafir country, with most of the population of the country kafirs, the principle of democracy suggests that it's the kafirs who could decide that freedom of speech is a value that they want to have in their kafir country. Why do Muslims who don't even live in the country have any rights at all, let alone the right to decide what kafirs in my country may and may not do. I see that as a gross interference and huge arrogance.

Same with any kafir country.

If a Swede living in Sweden wants to exercise the right to freedom of expression, how can a group of people not living in Sweden exercise censorship over that? Or do they get some special transnational rights because these foreigners are Muslims?

Mo's head is comin' from the wrong end of the dog.

What the hell is a roundabout dog?

re: #142 Droplet
You can read all about it here.

What was the reason to draw this cartoon (it's ugly drawn btw)? I dont see the necessity to it. Nor do I see the necessity of protesting against it. I'd respectively say to one and another: go to drawing lessons and go to "how not to get so easily offended"-lessons. For both of them I'd suggest a stress-reducing therapy while drinking some nice cup of tea or a good glass of wine (or whatever you'd like to drink).

Well. It's not the first time that country X interefers with the business of country Y. It's been like this in all times. Nothing new to it.
