Mufti General of Palestine condemns Swedish newspaper for offensive cartoons
2007-08-30

Jerusalem – Ma'an – The Palestinian Mufti General, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, has called for the editor of a Swedish newspaper to apologise for publishing an offensive cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammad.
Oh, was that one of that guy with the beard?
The Mufti said in a statement on Thursday that the Swedish newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda, has published offensive cartoons about the Prophet Mohammad claiming that it was part of the freedom of expression. The Mufti described it as immoral uncivilized conduct, which contradicts the "alleged" freedom of expression of the West. He added that all heavenly religions prohibit offense against places of worship or religious symbols. Consequently, he called on the newspaper and its chief editor, Olav Johansson, to apologise.
Okay. I'm really sorry you're a tight ass, Muffy...
The Mufti of Palestine also appealed to all Arab and Islamic countries to fight such dangerous phenomenon against Arabs and Muslims.
Oh-oh. A call for Arab unity. You're gonna get it now...

#4  This infringement is a feature, not a bug, it's an another form of cultural aggression and imperialism (think about it : the mufti of the *rsehole of the world telling what to do to a swedish newspaper).

Le bingo! Your most Astounding Rotundity.

#3  What's important about those cases is that those folks are actually affirming the supremacy of muslim law over western sovereignties. That started with the death fatwa against Rushdie, when muslim law "overflowed" muslim lands and were declared to hold sway even in non-muslim ones. This infringement is a feature, not a bug, it's an another form of cultural aggression and imperialism (think about it : the mufti of the *rsehole of the world telling what to do to a swedish newspaper).

#2  The usual one-way street of offended sensitivities and endless Muslim grievances. Sheikh Muhammad Hussein needs to spend a few quiet hours pounding hot sand where the sun don't shine. More cartoons!
