On another thread I mentioned that it appeared that the EU was growing a ball. Now they needed another one to have a pair.

It appears France is still composed of geldings, barrows, castrati and steers. Oh yes, CAPONS also.

 Mohammed Image Mirror

Since zombie’s site is currently overloaded, here’s a Danish mirror site of the Mohammed Image Archive.

UPDATE at 2/1/06 1:59:29 pm:

And here’s another sort of image archive, to provide a little perspective on the cartoon jihad: Cartoons from the Arab World.

They are hitting Charles heavy too. I don't think I've seen the counter drop under 3000 all day today.

I have just set a new record for my own blog, for two consecutive days. And that is one month AFTER I stopped adding anything new there. People are searching for the cartoons, and finding some of my older posts about the issue. I want to thank Zombie for showing us what free thought and speech are all about. If the Muslim world is offended by this, then the Muslim world needs to change, not us.

As shown by the context of this entire stupid "outrage" over cartoons - Islam cannot ever and will not ever co-exist alongside a democratic West.

Islam (as stated by CAIR founders) is here in America to scrap the constitution and impose sharia law.

Have a look at this. Via one of the best blogs in Scandinavia, Danske øjne på svenske forhold: http://dansk-svensk.blogspot.com/2006/01/support-cartoonists.html

Zombie in Danish Paper

LGF operative zombie’s Mohammed Image Archive (unavailable at this writing because of heavy traffic) was featured today in the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet: Tusindvis af Muhammed-tegninger.

way to go zombie, [hope] you have a revenue stream produced/increased by the number of unique hits

Quite the opposite. More visitors = more expense to me. I have no ads, no revenue source from the site. I have to pay for the bandwidth. All I do have is a Paypal account in case anyone wants to make a donation to help keep the site going (click on the "Send money" tab and for "Recipient's Email" put in "zombie@zombietime.com"). At this rate, I'm not sure if my hosting company is going to continue "looking the other way" about my periodic massive traffic spikes. I think this one has blown the roof off the barn.

There's something very powerful at work here. The same day Zombie reaches international prominence (amidst growing acclaim), Europe, almost collectively, seems to have turned a very important historical page. What do you call it when the zeitgeist meets synchronicity? A revelation, perhaps?

Any way you look at it, things have changed.

Just think.

This morning I was thrilled because I finally thought France had grown a pair!

BRAVO for Jacques Lefranc!

As for Raymond Lakah....BOO! HISS!

I hope your escargot putrefies in their shells!

Never apoligize for standing by your principles. The USA can use an editor with principles.

We need an email address.

And how do you say "surrender monkey" in French.

Seriously, I was so pleased this morning and now this.

France-Soir owner Raymond Lakah said in a statement to AFP he "decided to remove Jacques Lefranc as managing director of the publication as a powerful sign of respect for the intimate beliefs and convictions of every individual."

OK, that means there was only one man with cajones in France.

Sheesh it's such a shame. This man has his priorities right. I think he needs to immigrate. His courage is obviously not appreciated.

Arrogance indeed. They can't comprehend that we don't live under Shari'a law or give a damn about their rules. We are free from Mohammed's yoke!

France is in deep merde. They capitulate to every demand, even as they pretend to honor 'free speech'. They better make a lot more French cars.

I still don't understand how those cartoons were specifically of Mohammed, and not just any arab, but I must be missing something based on the outrage.


If western civiliation censors its press in order to keep muslims happy, then it is doomed.


It may be doomed for other reasons, but this will hasten it.

For your information, the owner of the French Newspaper in question is.....a Egyptian. Not French.

“I still don't understand how those cartoons were specifically of Mohammed, and not just any arab, but I must be missing something based on the outrage.”

The illustrators were specifically tasked with drawing Mohammed. Yes, they don’t all state it on the cartoon but they certainly all are meant to be him.

And (generally to all) easy as it is to laugh at a quick French surrender, the owner is indeed Egyptian. Now I don’t know for sure whether he is also Muslim but assuming he is he unfortunately can’t really do anything but fire the editors. At least the French editor followed the maxim “publish and be damned”.
