#1 I swear. The banners, placards, and the talking points have been changing EVERY SINGLE DAY in response to what the Western punditocracy chooses to focus on. There is NO WAY this is rising up spontaneously on the streets of Lahore, Multan, and Khoun Yanis. This is being directed by forces in the West. My guess is London, since that's where all the al-Q mouthpieces hang their turbans, and a big printing press assist from Red Ken's Commie pals.

#2 I don't know if Noori is real, but I'll say this right now: "EVEN in New York"???

Islam champions freedom of speech,

As often asked on the Internet: "SOURCE?"

non-satirical representations of him are seen in some art by Shia and Sufi sects.

At last check, the Wahhabis consider these Shia and Sufi sects to be haram by their existence.

#5 But in sharp contrast to the Muslim demonstrators in Syria and Lebanon, who burned embassies and made death threats, nearly every speaker at yesterday's rally organized by the Islamic Circle of North America, a Jamaica-based national group, decried violence as a response.

Anyone else notice a glaring qualifier there?

Nearly.

#7 Islamic Circle of North America: Experts have long documented ICNA's ties to Islamic terrorist groups. Yehudit Barsky, a terrorism expert at the American Jewish Committee, has said that ICNA "is composed of members of Jamaat e-Islami, a Pakistani Islamic radical organization similar to the Muslim Brotherhood that helped to establish the Taliban." Pakistani newspapers have reported that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a leading architect of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, was offered refuge in the home of Jamaat e-Islami's leader, Ahmed Quddoos. Another Pakistani Islamist leader who has had dealings with the ICNA is Maulana Shafayat Mohamed. On September 27, 1997, Mohammed, who attended a fundamentalist Pakistani madrassa (religious school) that served as a recruitment center for Taliban fighters, played host to an ICNA conference at his Florida madrassa.
Such connections have led many observers to label the ICNA a front group for Jammat e-Islami, a charge the ICNA has denied. But in 2000, the CNSNews.com made public a press release, posted on a Middle Eastern website, from a July 2000 ICNA meeting plainly establishing the connection. Stated the press release: "Jamaate Islami's supporters have an organization in America known as ICNA" The press release also recounted some of the views expressed at the meeting. Among them was that "Islam must be translated into political dominance"; support for "jihad" in "Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq (against U.S. forces), southern Sudan, andin Bosnia/Kosova [sic]"; an appeal for unity among Pakistani Muslims against "Hindu Brahmins and Zionist Jews"; and an endorsement of Muslim women's inclusion in carrying out jihad.

CAIR: Omar M. Ahmad founder of CAIR said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant" he said. "The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America , and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth," he said. (via Daniel Pipes)

American Muslim Alliance: In 1998 the AMA, along with CAIR and the American Muslim Council, sponsored a rally at Brooklyn College in New York City, where militant speakers advocated jihad and characterized Jews as "pigs and monkeys."

Smart. NYC's finest lost a lot of officers on 9/11.
