| Danish cartoon row gets worse |
| 2005-12-21 |
[..] Two of the cartoonists, fearing for their lives, went into hiding. The Pakistani Jamaaat-e-Islami party offered five thousand kroner to anyone who killed one of the cartoonists. [..] the most respected authority in the Sunni Muslim world, Mohammad Sayed Tantawi, Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, declared that the cartoons had âtrespassed all limits of objective criticism into insults and contempt of the religious beliefs of more than one billion Muslims around the world, including thousands in Denmark. Al-Azhar intends to protest these anti-Prophet cartoons with the UNâs concerned committees and human rights groups around the world.â The UN was happy to take the case. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, wrote to the OIC: âI understand your attitude to the images that appeared in the newspaper. I find alarming any behaviors that disregard the beliefs of others. This kind of thing is unacceptable.â She announced that investigations for racism and âIslamophobiaâ would commence forthwith. While solicitous of Muslim belief, Arbour did not seem concerned about the beliefs of the Danes. Yet Jyllands-Posten had well articulated its position as founded upon core principles of the Western world: âWe must quietly point out here that the drawings illustrated an article on the self-censorship which rules large parts of the Western world. Our right to say, write, photograph and draw what we want to within the framework of the law exists and must endure â unconditionally!â Juste added: âIf we apologize, we go against the freedom of speech that generations before us have struggled to win.â |

| #7 I would much rather believe in the principle of freedom of speech, than a god who is threatened by cartoons. |

| #6 What you want in a movie is to make it truly obscene. That is, "Mohammed", a combination of Tom Green, Monty Python, Jackass, and Larry Flynt. The entire cast and crew would be listed in the credits with the names of the foulest mullahs and al-Qaeda in the world. Starring the "President of Iran" as Mockmud. Of course, everyone would be so heavily made up as to be unrecognizeable. The movie would be rated XXX, and some homosexuals would be recruited for the sodomy scenes. Lots of drug and alcohol use, and Mocmud portrayed as an unsympathetic Jim Carey-like frenetic lunatic who can't see a child without wanting to rape and murder them. He constantly does horrible things, then when asked, immediately says that Allah ordered him to do it, so it is okay. He also is obsessively vain and carries a mirror around with him to make sure his makeup looks good on his apelike and warty face. Everything he says is focused on what he wants and how important he is, and how everybody must obey him because he speaks for Allah. He is also a craven coward when faced with personal risk. His lieutenants are convinced that he is a psycho fake, but the ignorant and feeble-minded people believe him, so they play along, hoping to get rich and powerful "from the dogs" in the process. Of course, all the women are just filthy and hideously ugly whores, and Mockmud tells them to wear the burks because he hates women and doesn't want to look at their ugly faces. If he can't get children, he admits, he would prefer animals. He curses his mother and father, and violates every taboo known. It goes on and on, but the production would have to be top secret, edited and re-edited to erase any clue, then posted to the Internet in a dozen different forums, hoping that it would virally spread so quickly that any number of death threats couldn't stop it. |

| #5 I think we should have a movie, much like Passion of the Christ, about the Profit Mohammad. Call it passion for { little underaged girls | blood | murder | booty | etc...}. Of course the muzzies wouldn't want a truthful story about him - even one in accordance with their own scriptures - shown. People might mistake him for Hitler / Stalin / Pol-Pot / etc.. |

| #1 The Pakistani Jamaaat-e-Islami party offered five thousand kroner to anyone who killed one of the cartoonists. Maybe someone should put a similar bounty on the heads of the Pakistani Jamaat-e-Islami party. |
