Al Qaeda Offers Bounty to Kill Swedish Artist

Sat, Sep 15, 2007 at 8:48:44 am PDT

Al Qaeda in Iraq is now getting into the act over the Swedish roundabout dogs of blasphemy, offering $100,000 to any Muslim who kills artist Lars Vilks—with a $50,000 bonus if Vilks is “slaughtered like a lamb.”

And killing the editor of the newspaper that printed Vilks’ sketches is worth another 50 grand.

CAIRO, Egypt - The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq offered money for the murder of a Swedish cartoonist and his editor who recently produced images deemed insulting to Islam, according to a statement carried by Islamist Web sites Saturday.

In a half hour audio file entitled “They plotted yet God too was plotting,” Abu Omar al-Baghdadi also named the other insurgent groups in Iraq that al-Qaida was fighting and promised new attacks, particularly against the minority Yazidi sect.

“We are calling for the assassination of cartoonist Lars Vilks who dared insult our Prophet, peace be upon him, and we announce a reward during this generous month of Ramadan of $100,000 for the one who kills this criminal,” the transcript on the Web site said.

The al-Qaida leader upped the reward for Vilks’ death to $150,000 if he was “slaughtered like a lamb” and offered $50,000 for the killing of the editor of Nerikes Allehanda, the Swedish paper that printed Vilks’ cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body on Aug. 19. ...

Al-Baghdadi added in his message that if the “crusader state of Sweden” didn’t apologize, his organization would also attack major companies.

“We know how to force you to retreat and apologize and if you don’t, wait for us to strike the economy of your giant companies including Ericsson, Scania, Volvo, Ikea, and Electrolux,” he said.

Vilks, who is a typical anti-everything leftist, has received a wakeup call from the RoP.

Vilks said from Sweden he believed the matter of his cartoons had been blown out of proportion.

“We have a real problem here,” Vilks told The Associated Press by telephone. “We can only hope that Muslims in Europe and in the Western world choose to distance themselves from this and support the idea of freedom of expression.

Advice to Vilks: don’t hold your breath.

On the other hand, Vilks won't be doing any more MoToons anytime soon, I'll wager.

Lars Vilks Has a Price on His Head
[snip]
Update: The Local has additional information:

Responding to the threat on his life, the caricaturist was characteristically defiant.

“I suppose this makes my art project a bit more serious. It’s also good to know how much one is worth,” said Vilks.

But he also added that he was taking the threat seriously.

“Of course you can’t just brush off an organization like this. I’m not that irreverent. I’ll have to look over my shoulder when crossing the street,” he said.

Having already received a number of threats via e-mail and over the telephone, Ulf Johansson has also been on his guard since the publication of the controversial cartoon.

“The police have already contacted me and I’m going to stay in touch with them. I have received various types of threat but none have been so explicit. This is a direct death sentence,” said the editor.


Further Update: CG sends along this translation from the Swedish, quoting Lars Vilks’ further reaction:

Jaså, inte mer än 100.000 dollar, jag trodde det var 200.000. Det är trevligt att veta vad man är värd.

Translated:

“Yes well, no more than 100,000 dollars, I thought it was 200,000. It is nice to know what you are worth.”

Isnt that just a nice salute...? I like this guy, even though he is a leftist...

ISLAM IS NAZIISM FROM THE 6th CENTURY

Thought you might be interested in this.

Suzanne Fields' column on the connection between Nazism and radical Islam touches upon an underreported phenomenon that the mainstream media avoids like the plague ("Inspired by the Nazis," Op-Ed, Thursday). I would like to add that in his secret conversations, Adolf Hitler repeatedly denounced Christianity as a "Jewish" conspiracy to undermine the "natural order." We know this from "Hitler's Table Talk," compiled and translated by Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens in 1953. Even though the actual content of Hitler's "spirituality" is unknown, the following quote, recorded on Aug. 28, 1942, clearly shows where his sympathies lay: "Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers — already you see, the world had fallen in the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! — then we should have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. The Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so."

from the article: "Yesterday, the Neo Nazis, which the Brussels authorities had said were coming to Brussels to join the anti-Islamization demonstration, were nowhere to be seen. This is hardly surprising. For Neo Nazis the Jews, not the Muslims, are the enemy."

And so, the old Nazis (the Muslims) and the New Nazis, collude once again.

Pretty straightforward reporting about some awfully atrocious behavior.

Unfortunately, they are losing their nerve.

Spanish conservatives protest as festivals celebrating defeat of Islam are toned down

By Victoria Burnett in Madrid

Published: October 16 2006 03:00 | Last updated: October 16 2006 03:00

A decision by Spanish towns to tone down festivals marking the expulsion of the country's Muslim rulers has prompted conservative politicians to rush to defend the tradition and sparked debate about freedom of expression versus religious sensitivity. The issue echoes the polemic in Europe over self-censorship that followed the cancellation of a Mozart opera in Germany, deemed offensive to Muslims.

A few minutes ago the news on the state controlled swedish TV reported on the incident. They had managed to find a representative of the swedish muslim counsel, who got the opportunity to express her fears of this death threat increasing islamofobia in Sweden. She even got time to show how someone recently had drawn a svastika on a cellar door said to lead to a mosque.

And the other day the same state controlled news showed the roundabout dog somenone had made picturing Lars Vilks himself - obviously not in admiration. They haven't showed the important dogs in this story yet, however.

Freedom in the Religion of Peace is defined as others being free to bow down to the will of Islam and Muslims being free to kill you if you don't. It kind of reminds me of a scene in the movie "Mars Attacks" with the Martians running around killing people while a loudspeaker is telling everyone "Stop. Don't run. We are your friends". Yes folks,they come in peace.

I have always regarded Britain as a wonderful country, the only one in Europe that successfully resisted the Nazi onslaught, and the birthplace of freedom of speech. After Leeds I may have to revise my views.

More advice for Vilks: don't put your hopes in your fellow western civilization cohort in Europe. When the Council of Europe vomits up "Europe is Threatened by Bigots - Not Islam" - you're fucked.

Im suprised Al Qaeda hasnt issued a bounty to kill all of civilization

What do they expect would happen once all the "infidels" are gone
there would be a few thousand psycho murders sitting around in the desert
no electricity
no nothing
I doubt there would be any women
I think given the chance theyd simply start to kill each other
eventually leaving one jihadi and a few goats to make his wife
and repopulate the caliphate with his goat children

"We can only hope that Muslims in Europe and in the Western world choose to distance themselves from this and support the idea of freedom of expression.”

"We can only hope"? That's all? Nothing else you can think of, like ending Muslim immigration? -- like encouraging Muslims in the West to leave? Isn't that something infidels could do that would actually make them safer? But liberals wouldn't allow it. Liberals are fanatically committed to the murder-suicide of the West. And liberals run the West. So we can only hope.

Until we stop being liberals.

Granted, but Norway produced its very own Quisling. When it comes to appeasement, no country has a clean slate. Just so you don't imagine I'm biased, I once reminded an entire roomful of Swedish students about that very incident you mention, as a prime example of the evil of pacifism.

A lot more EUers "get it" than are given credit for. Merkel and Sarkozy won and ran on fairly pro-American platforms, yet if you believe the media, no one there seems to support the WOT and are uniformly against Bush. You think the effete socialist EU press corps has any interest in both sides?

The EU media (and US media too) never gives any time to us "commoners."

Even in Hollywood, I bet a lot more people voted for GWB in 2004 than you would believe, even though they may have donated $$ to Kerry or were seen at his fundraisers. Behind that voting booth curtain, all bets are off. I mean, who among us hasn't 'taken one for the team' where career is concerned? When the boss' kids come-a-fundraising, I always develop a sudden love for peanut brittle and chocolate cookies.

Was recently watching several BBC episodes of Antiques Roadshow. I was floored by the number of items that were military and/or WW2 related. Even the host, for no apparent reason, reminisced about his experiences during that struggle.

The people have not forgotten and the people are not all clueless.

(PLEASE POST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AT OTHER WEBSITES)

The U.S. Senate Project (an initiative to increase congressional awareness of the nature and goals of jihad) currently has 85 volunteers in 39 states.

WE ARE STILL SEEKING ADDITIONAL CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL 50 STATES, ESPECIALLY THE FOLLOWING 12:

Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Kansas
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming

THE PROJECT: We're looking for people in every state of the Union who would be willing to purchase, from Amazon or any other source, a copy of Robert Spencer's new book Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is And Islam Isn't and mail it, on an agreed upon date, to one of the senators in your state. We want to get the book simultaneously to all 100 senators, in order to send a strong message. If we get more than two people per state, books can also be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.

If you'd like to participate (or you just have questions), please write to me at traehnam@yahoo.com under the subject heading "Senate," and tell me the state your senator represents, and a nickname. No need for your real name. And I will never share your email address with anyone, not even with other volunteers for this project.

And visit jihadawareness.blogspot.com to get more info on this project and to leave comments other volunteers can read. You can also see there the growing list of participants in this project, and the states their senators represent. I've also designed a graphic that might amuse. Scroll down when you get to the site.

Once we have at least two people from every state, we can agree on a mailing date and then each of us can mail a copy of the book on that date.

Right before each of us mails the book, we'll issue a press release to media outlets in as many states as possible, and in that way announce and explain the mailing. And perhaps we can come up with some other ways of maximizing the effectiveness of this project and gaining as much positive attention as possible.

One of the project's volunteers suggested contacting Rep. Sue Myrick, who started the Anti-Jihad Caucus in Congress. I'll try to coordinate this project with Rep. Myrick to maximize its effectiveness. I've also been calling various congressional offices to get advice on how best to go about the project.

104 Paul Green  Sat, Sep 15, 2007 11:53:44am

As Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch has noted, the title of the al-Qaeda communique (“They plotted yet God too was plotting”) is straight from the Qur’an – to wit, Verse 3:54:

“And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and God too planned, and the best of planners is God.” (Abdullah Yusif Ali translation.)

Omar al-Baghdadi’s desire that Lars Vilks be “slaughtered like a lamb” and his offer of extra bounty for the same constitute an exhoration to jihadists to slit his throat while speaking the name of Allah, as sheep are slaughtered for Eid al-Adha, the “Festival of Sacrifice” with which Ramadan concludes. There is ample precedence for human sacrifice of this sort: it was also carried out during the jihad massacre of Armenians in Urfa in 1895, as Lord Kinross noted in “The Ottoman Centuries”:

“When a large group of Armenians were brought before a sheikh, he had them thrown down on their backs and held by their hands and feet. Then, in the words of an observer, he recited verses of the Koran and ‘cut their throats after the Mecca rite of sacrificing sheep.’”

With Ramadan now under way, Eid al-Adha isn’t far off. Lars Vilks would do well to arm himself, for these creatures are in deadly earnest.

The upside of this is that if some dipshit does manage to kill Vilks, he'll have to pay Swedish taxes on the $100,000 -- which means he'll have next to nothing to show for it.

So much for financial incentives in a socialist country!

If I had my druthers, Western counter-bounties would be offered, or Western operators would make disappear those who issue death fatwas against persons whose only crime is criticism of Islam. When I say "make disappear," I mean either indefinitely into some hidden prison, or "permanently." Islamic violence and incitements to violence against journalists, cartoonists, teachers, writers, democratic politicians, feminists, you, and me, must be deterred. Or if deterrence is not possible, crushing the perpetrators should be.

"We are calling for the assassination of cartoonist Lars Vilks who dared insult our Prophet, peace be upon him, and we announce a reward during this generous month of Ramadan of US$100,000 for the one who kills this criminal," Abu Omar al-Baghdadi said in a statement posted Saturday to an Islamist webside.

Do they not see the irony in that statement ?.

Vilks, who is a typical anti-everything leftist, has received a wakeup call from the RoP.

What I find interesting about this is that 'Abu Omar al-Baghdadi' has been shown to be a fictional creation of Al Qaeda in Iraq - the propaganda fruit of a desperate attempt to put an Iraqi face on a foreign-infiltrator-led insurgency. A captured AQI leader has confessed as much. And even after the sham has been exposed, AQI is still trying to sell it...

“We are calling for the assassination of cartoonist Lars Vilks who dared insult our Prophet, peace be upon him, and we announce a reward during this generous month of Ramadan of $100,000 for the one who kills this criminal”

Wait, peace be upon who? The Prophet (isn't some masked Mexican wrestler?) or Vilks? I'm so confused.

Also, I thought Islam and Judaism always contended their methods of Halal/Kosher animal slaughter were not cruel. So why is slaughtering Vilks like a Lamb better than, say, beheading?

123 FriarsTale  Sat, Sep 15, 2007 8:49:33pm

this is the funny part, but it should be a page one headline somewhere in there:

No photo has ever appeared of al-Baghdadi, whom the U.S. describes as a fictitious character used to give an Iraqi face to an organization dominated by foreigners.

The U.S. has said that under interrogation, a top al-Qaida member revealed that al-Baghdadi's speeches are read by an actor.

I wouldn't be too upset at inventory damage. Personally, anything I've hauled back from IKEA has NEVER had all the parts, and I really hate their picture instructions that seem to still be in Swedish...

Otherwise, I wish all these gov'ts would tell these people to GROW UP and join the 21st century.

And I've always thought that letting the umma know we have Medina and Mecca targeted with the really hot missles would damp down this stuff. Kinda hard to fulfill your personal religious mission if one of your pillars consists of smoking, 'hot' holes...
