The leader of Pakistani politico-religious party Jamaat-e Islami is claiming that the Western "extremist standpoint" on the freedom of news organizations to publish "blasphemous caricatures" of Islam's prophet Muhammad will ultimately lead to World War III.
In addressing the thousands in attendance at a Friday protest over the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which publicized cartoons portraying Muhammad, the influential chief of the Jamaat-e Islami party, Sirajul Haq, demanded that the United Nations make laws designed to prevent the media and others from mocking religious personalities.
Haq explained that the West's leniency and tolerance in dealing with those who mock Islam by publishing Muhammad's image could lead to yet another Great War, The Express Tribune reports.
"The path that the West has chosen will take the world to a third world war," Haq asserted.
Although many in Western nations see the employees of Charlie Hebdo as victims of a violent extremist attack against freedom of press, freedom of speech and freedom of religion, thousands of Muslims, including moderate Muslims, have angrily protested over the magazine's publicized and distributed depiction of their prophet.
Although the Quran doesn't explicitly say that depicting Muhammad is forbidden, a number of Muslim teachings have expressly prohibited such portrayal of the prophet.
Haq also demanded that France apologize for allowing Charlie Hebdo to hurt the feelings of "billions of Muslims across the world." Other protesters urged for a boycott of French products.
Another Jamaat-e Islami activist, Abdul Mastan, demanded that the Pakistani government bar the French ambassador from Pakistan.
On Friday, a coalition of religious parties in Pakistan made up of Jamaat-e Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, issued bounties on the staff of Charlie Hebdo who were responsible for creating cartoons with Muhammad's caricature depicted.

Fatwa on your butt, CC!
Gabriel had nothing to do with Mohammed...Lucifer is far more likely as the intermediary here.
We should start with North Korea, then all our ‘friends’ in the Middle East....especially the Saudis. Then take Cuber and South American countries that have reverted to socialism then we’d be enforcing the Monroe Doctrine.
With the proper lean and mean central government we could eventually drive all the Muslims ensconced here into the ocean and shove all the illegal ‘hispanics’ back across our southern border.

Partially correct.
Islam will lead to WW3.
It must be extinguished.
Now, or later.
And this will be different from what’s going on now, how?
THAT is a keeper.
New York is a symbol for everything Islam hates. Banking wealth, media, the fact that there are more Jews in NYC than in Tel Aviv. San Francisco is a distant second.
Were I an illiterate Muslim squirrel, whose education consists of only rote memorization of the Koran, and wanted to strike a blow at the Great Satan, the East Coast is at the top of the target list.
They are almost as stupid as Democrats.
Regarding the Archangel Gabriel, from Wiki:
In Islam, Gabriel (Jibra'il) is considered one of the four archangels whom God sent with his divine message to various prophets, including Muhammad.So, back to the post you responded to, was Satan in disguise as Gabriel and the other three Archangels? You seem to agree.The 96th chapter of the Quran, sura Al-Alaq, is believed by Muslims to be the first surah revealed by Gabriel to Muhammad.
By islam's fruits, I have to wonder. Satanic Verses, indeed.
Violent savages (Muslims) killing clueless fools (liberals).
The only downside might be collateral damage to decent folk. (Decent folk—those who want to earn a living and not be harassed while doing so, and will leave other people alone)
History may record that WWIII was started by lunatic ragheads, but I seriously doubt that serious historians will record that it was sparked by cartoons.
Yes, S&F, Pakistan has nukes. If we just take out the whole benighted excuse for a country, we probably get the nukes in there somewhere.
I do have one seriou concern: if we take out Pakistan who is going to handle our customer support calls?
Islam’s access to technologies it never could have invented will inevitably lead to WWIII - the cartoons are just one of the pretexts.
It's not that "drawings of Mo" are prohibited. It's that MOCKING Mo is prohibited. Mo himself ordered the assassination of several people who mocked him or Islam.
“World War III” began about 1,400 years ago. It would be nice if this nation would wake up, fight and bring it to a final conclusion. First thing I’d do is nuke Mecca and Medina to serve notice to the enemy. Then I’d get really tough.
They don’t have to power to rise to the level of anything I would classify as a World War.
RE: I do have one serious concern: if we take out Pakistan who is going to handle our customer support calls?
You don’t have to worry... India and the Philippines are the premier call centers in the world.
And India will be the first line of defense against a belligerent Pakistan.
So do the French ,the British , Israeli’s, Chinese,Russians & the United States & the Indians. Pakistan would lose & lose badly & they know it.
