Hey, Jack! Which way's Mecca?

Radical Danish imams have deliberately incited hatred against Denmark, the country that had hospitably welcomed them in. To this end, while on a visit to Arab countries last month, they added three false, extremely offensive Muhammad “cartoons” to the twelve relatively mild ones published by Jyllands-Posten last September [see the latter here, halfway down the page].
One of the three additional cartoons [we linked to them in this article], which the imams distributed on a faxed image of appalling quality, was said to be a depiction of Muhammad with a pigsnout. When the Danish press discovered the three false so-called Danish cartoons, the imams refused to say where they had got them. They claimed, however, that the false cartoons were genuinely Danish and had been added to “give an insight in how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims.”
The Brussels Journal has always doubted whether the cartoons added by the imams were genuine. Whenever we mentioned them we explicitly wondered whether they were not “of the imam’s own making.” Certain Western mainstream media, however, such as the Australian network SBS (and even, we have been told, the BBC) authoritatively declared that the pigsnout was one of Jyllands-Posten’s cartoons. Today a Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende discovered where the “pigsnout Muhammad” comes from. It has no relation to Muhammad whatsoever, it is not even a cartoon, but a fax image of a photo of a French clown performing at a pig festival. [hat tip: Jörgen Johannesen]

This was fueled by Danish Muslims imams who saw the opportunity to use and abuse Muslims around the world. But it the Muslim "street" who is buying it and acting violently all around the world. It makes it much harder to distinguish between radical and "moderate" Muslims.
Hey, Jack! Which way's Mecca?
Faking attacks against themselves? There's been a lot of this going around lately, and not just by Muslims...
LOL
So, under sharia will the imams responsible for the fake picture/cartoon be scheduled for some public flogging or something?
Yeah. Thought not.
bttt
This includes lying,cheating,stealing,rape,murder,kidnapping,bearing false witness,perjury,etc etc etc.
Are all valid 'means to an end'...that 'end' being the subjugation & domination of the west under Sharia law...especially that territory lost before 'The Crusades'.
imo
This is what they do, incite riots and violence for their so-called "holy war". It is coming this way (U.S.), sooner rather than later, I'm afraid. These are not the al Queda jihadists, or the "extreme" fringes of Islam. This is the heart of Islam. And we need to be mindful that in our climate of "tolerance" we are stoking the fires of submission. They will settle for nothing less than total submission to Sharia law.
So, what I want to know is--can my burkha have rhinestones, beading and sequins?
BUMP!
FMC Condemns Reaction of Muslims to Unfavorable Cartoons of Prophet MohammadFMC Condemns Reaction of Muslims to Unfavorable Cartoons of Prophet MohammadThe Free Muslims Coalition condemns the reaction of American Muslim Organizations and Muslim governments to the unfavorable depiction of Prophet Mohammad in European News papers. Protests have spread across the Muslim world over the publication in European news papers of cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. Outrage over the cartoons has ignited demonstrations from Turkey to the Gaza Strip, and prompted a boycott of Danish products throughout the Middle East. In Pakistan, hundreds demonstrated on Thursday, chanting "Death to Denmark" and burning Danish and French flags. In Egypt, President Hosni Mubarak warned that the decision by some European papers to publish the cartoons could encourage terrorists. Consequently, government ministers from 17 Arab nations have asked the Danish government to punish the newspaper for what they called an "offense to Islam" and some countries have even pulled their ambassadors from Denmark. The controversy intensified on Wednesday when a French news paper, printed a new drawing on its front page showing Jewish, Muslim and Christian holy figures sitting on a cloud, with the caption "Don't worry Muhammad, we've all been caricatured here". The response by Muslims to the cartoons is absolutely pathetic and depressing but revealing. The reason Muslims are responding with anger and threats of violence is because most Muslims live in countries where democracy and freedom of speech are alien concepts. Moreover, the Muslim world suffers from a lack of visionary leadership. In this particular case, when Muslim leaders, including American Muslim leaders, realized that Muslims are furious they joined the chorus of fury rather than explain to their people that they must be reasonable and that freedom of speech is healthy even if it is insulting. What is even more disgusting is that most American Muslim organizations, who should know better, have joined the chorus of instigators rather than taking this opportunity to teach their members about the importance of freedom of speech and tolerance. One would think that Muslims have learned a lesson from the mishaps of the radical Iranian spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khomeini when in 1989, he called on Muslims to kill British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemy in his book, The Satanic Verses. The childish and stupid reaction by Khomeini caused an otherwise poor book to become a number one seller. Similarly today, the stupid reaction by Muslims has caused many more news papers to publish insulting images of the Prophet Mohammed. When will Muslims wake up and realize that their intolerance of opposing opinions is keeping them in the dark ages? When will Muslims realize that respect must be earned and not forced through violence and coercion? When will Muslims realize that individual liberty and freedom of expression are fundamental human rights? When will American Muslim organization provide solutions to Muslims rather than instigate problems? The Free Muslims Coalition hopes that the answer to all these questions is soon.
