Danish Muhammad cartoonist Kurt Westergaard dies
MSN "news" ^ | 7-18-21 | bbc via msn

Posted on 07/18/2021 5:22:58 PM PDT by dynachrome

He became world famous in 2005 for his controversial depiction of the Prophet Muhammad in the newspaper.

Westergaard's cartoon, which showed a turban bomb, was one of 12 published by the newspaper to make a point about self-censorship and criticism of Islam.

Depictions of the Prophet Muhammad are widely regarded as taboo in Islam, and are offensive to some Muslims.

The newspaper's cartoons prompted protests in Denmark, while its government received complaints from the ambassadors of Muslim-majority countries.

The anger culminated in protests across the Muslim world in February 2006. Danish embassies were attacked and dozens died in riots.

He was truly a Great Dane.
His “Turban Bomb” cartoon remains one of the most effective graphics on that theme.

“His family said he died after a long illness, the Berlingske newspaper reported on Sunday.”

He was 86.

I was watching the TV when that happened.

The very next day news crews were easily able to find nitwits at Ivy League schools who could not bring themselves to say that the terrorist had been evil.

I would bet that muzzlimes all over the world are handing out candy and dancing on rooftops at Westergaard’s death.

All you need to do is read chapter 9 of the Koran.

https://www.clearquran.com/009.html Seriously, read it. It’s not much.

It doesn’t require a rocket scientist.

Islam is the ONLY religion where the more devout and orthodox, the greater the threat someone becomes to ANYONE other than Muslims.

Islam was created out of violence. Realize the crusades bad mouthed today were a reaction of Muslims invading Westward. Islam didn’t come about until 630AD. What religion do you think Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Lebanon... had until they came?But sadly, ignorant and PC idiots in education and Hollywood actually portray the crusader as the “bad guy” and Muslims that were paying their armies by allowing them to rape and pillage for 3 days after a victory as the poor misunderstood victim. Ever see the movie “Kingdom of God?” What a bunch of factually inaccurate trash. But these are the sorts of things that have created the “perception” folks have regards the crusades today. Do people even realize that when Urban the II asked for a crusade against the Muslims, they had just kicked them out of Italy a few years prior?

Look, if Jews, Christians, Hindu, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Bahia, Shinto, can all get along, but Muslims can’t work with anyone else, maybe we should begin asking if it’s not us that is the problem?!

Argue with this: Mohamed was a pedophile, illiterate, slave trader, murderer that stole all his ideas from Judaism and Christians.

What sort of religion do you expect to get when you have an ignorant thug create his own religion by plagiarizing two other religions but build in little loopholes to allow himself a bunch wives (depending how one counts 11 - 22, if you count what he had sex with hundreds). He screwed his way through the middle East and women in conquered areas are free game. Mohamed was know to have an insatiable apatite for women.

Christianity is about forgiveness and love, being Christ like.

Islam literally means “submission.” Religion of Peace, my ass. Show my an Islamic nation that treats non-Muslims fairly? Just one.

Islam is the scourge of civilization. It is retrograde, oppressive and violent by nature.

That is what their doctrine teaches. The is what History shows us over 1,400 years. That is what their leaders openly advocate. And in the West you hear morons rationalizing their behaviours.

There is no peace with Islam. Never was, never will be.

No, my FR page only has my own originals. But I did incorporate the turban bomb cartoon into one of the images I made:

How do the muzzies prove that that is a reasonable likeness of their fearless leader?

The general voter thinks otherwise. How long after 9/11 was it that we voted in a muslim president? Even today we agonize if it was the right thing to do not knowing his history. Why wasn’t the decision made right then and there?
No, we rather agonize and agonize and let future generations solve the problem. Today we face a similar problem with Harris and her VP eligibility. We wring our hands and talk but no decision is made. Who knows that she is not the devil taking the country straight to hell? If she succeeds taking us there, it is our fault. Then we have the Omar case who married her brother to get him into he country. Why is she still a member of Congress? Then we have the Swallwell case boinking a Chinese spy and getting away with it He too is a member of Congress. WTH are we doing taking all this crap in stride? How could we have lasted so long?
