#1 tipper - The link is wrong - points to the German sculpture withdrawn because it offended Muzzies story...

The old question comes to the fore, yet again:
Is there anything, other than abject dhimmitude, that does not offend Islam?

#3 I hope Ahmejinedad is stupid enough to withdraw the team in protest... and all the signs are there! The resulting civil strife would greatly harm the reqime as I believe footy comes second only to Allan in Iran.

we Iranians should remain civilised and not trade insults for insults Mwahahahaha

#4 Yep, we should encourage this to run and run. Even the dimmest (dhimmiest) tranzi moonbat will get it in the end.

#5 Gee, what a bunch of duplicious, taquia-lover petty-minded hypocrits... real muslims, in short.
Oh, the irony : IRGC commander addresses suicide bomber corps

#6 Well, yeah, I see their point. It should have been the Palestinian team.

They should run a corrected version with the Iranian team in chadors.

Clarification on the question: You are aware that often Islam becomes offended at those who perfectly adhere to dhimmitude, right? Are you excluding those instances?

#8 Well, lol, when I wrote that I was thinking of the historical dhimmitude in conquered lands. I presume they didn't kill the dhimmi geese that laid golden eggs for them, heh.

Attacking the weak, but not yet jizya-paying crowd does seem to top the alQ agenda, though the dhimmis-in-waiting haven't seemed to have figured it out, yet. Is this what you're referring to, perhaps?

#9 I presume they didn't kill the dhimmi geese that laid golden eggs for them, heh.

AFAICR, they did. The example off the top of my head is the Jannisaries -- skimming the male children from a population that doesn't practice polygamy reduces its birthrate.

Beyond that, the history of dhimmitude makes it clear that inflicting humiliation and abuse was as much a part of it as tax farming. Gotta give the lowliest Muslim someone to feel superior to.

#10 Okay, yeah... The Janissaries became a serious threat, too, but I follow you.

Power in the hands of Islam, in practice, is the death of everything worth living for. I've said it before, of course, but to me it's clearly a pathogen. You can take it from there, lol.

WOW, a correct response regarding free speech!

Now you've got it! The old Global Cultural Genocide™ that I've been talking about. As Zenster's second law states:

"Power is most attractive to those least competent to wield it."

Oh brother. This from the nation currently holding a Holocaust cartoon contest. Nah, no "insults for insults" being traded here. Male bovine fecal matter abounds. Keep those cartoons coming, we're onto something here.

#15 Dear Iran,

Fuck you with a pork dildo.

Your friends,

Germany

#16 Wouldn't you love to be an official in one of Iran's games ?
What fun could be had.

#17 WRT killing the goose: When there was some turmoil or famine it would sometimes happen that local imams would blame the Christians/Jews and organize attacks. Sometimes the ruler of the city would try to protect the dhimmis ($$). Bat Yeor has lots of references.

#18 "remain" civilised
Excuse me? What is this? Wouldn't this mean that they would have to first be or initially be civilized?
Yes to see the advertisers have cartoons plastered all over during the games would be entertaining, but risky with their interpretation of what acting civilized means.

#19 It is a bad cartoon. The simple fact that the two sets of folks are nearly identical in height makes it look as if they are intended to be the same folks. Yeah it probably is clear in German but from a basic cartoon standpoint it doesn't work well when you wonder about that sort of thing.

On the other hand it pissed off Iran and that is one of my new standards for a great cartoon so I'll let it slide.
