BRUSSELS JOURNAL.com: "'THE WAR IS ON'" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Yesterday (Thursday) Mullah Krekar, the alleged leader of the Islamist group Ansar al-Islam who has been living in Norway as a refugee since 1991, said that the publication of the Muhammad cartoons was a declaration of war. "The war has begun," he told Norwegian journalists. Mr Krekar said Muslims in Norway are preparing to fight. "It does not matter if the governments of Norway and Denmark apologize, the war is on.")

ISLAMONLINE.net: Cairo - "WARNINGS CARTOONS RISK VIOLENCE" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by a Danish daily and other European newspapers are risking to trigger acts of violence around the world, officials and commentators warn." (February 2, 2006)
Yesterday the Brussels-based Flemish newspaper De Morgen interviewed Mr Momani over the phone. The Jordanian journalist appeared to be in a panic. According to the interview, which was published today, he told De Morgen:
"I cannot assess what severe penalties await me."
Wow.
The jailed Mr Momani is the first victim of the Cartoon War. His fate should concern all of us --including the timid American press.
So sadly truly true.
These "cartoons are so badly and incompetently executed that they can only be the result of a sick mind --- the muslims themselves.
Truth offends Muslims.
"U.S. and British governments are pleased that their newspapers do not have the guts of some European ones..."
I would not call it guts. It's more like honesty.
Okay...so they go after this guy who published a few of the cartoons...yet they are running around passing out copies of all 12--plus adding 3 more. So why aren't the heads of these distributors of blasphemy stuck on pikes?
Maybe I need to send a letter to the editor at Al-Jazeera and ask...
