"BEIRUT, Lebanon - The controversy over Danish caricatures of Prophet Muhammad escalated Monday as gunmen seized an EU office in Gaza and Muslims appealed for a trade boycott of Danish products. Denmark called for its citizens in the Middle East to exercise vigilance."

"i have to ask you, who let them come here? when you mention they continued mantra of relgion of peace, who tells you that? answer truthfully and you will understand my point."

I will answer. It is Westerners. But they have made very serious mistakes about islam, believing them to be basically peaceful, which has turned out to be dead wrong. The biggest mistake of Westerners has been to learn nothing from islam's merciless, sanguinary history. And I will say that just because islam worships something that does not make them a true religion. They are in fact the antithesis of real religion, which is helping the widows, loving your neighbor, helping the poor, spreading your faith through education and example, NOT by the sword. Islam is evil to the core, and evil is not the definition of 'religion', it is the opposite of religion.

Though I am reminded that great thinkers of the 20th century like Winston Churchill and Hilaire Belloc had both written dire warnings about islam rising again and threatening the West. Unfortunately the liberal/ socialist dupes who infected Europe and the U.S. have been blinded to reality by their unbelievable pomposity and hatred for truth. In other words, the rise of Islam in the West is directly related to the self-inflicted wounding and crippling of Christianity. The modern West has been unable to see the evil of islam because we have not been looking at it through the eyes of faith.

The bloody mohammedans didn't have to conquer us, we have been conquering ourselves by replacing Christ with humanism and science. Meanwhile the enemy has stood by watching like wolves licking their chops. It is no coincidence that the West is under islamofacist attack at a time when Christianity is staggering around in its all time weakest state of faith.

Thank you, Crusader, although I wonder if our "friend" is even capable of understanding.

[Reform4Bush]

Ooops, already posted.

[BJungNan]

I had not seen them.

[Outland]

Has anyone figured out what type of drugs Muhammed was taking?

What TheCrusader said is true and no exaggeration. I would have answered with different words, but with similar meaning. The weakening of Christianity in the west figures greatly. However one may ask why that has occurred in the first place. I believe there are nefarious forces, namely global communism/socialism, perhaps even global business interests who have through every cultural vehicle sold the lie of cultural and moral relativism. The west has been caught off guard by Islam because our sense of true evil has been dulled. Eyes will open eventually, and hopefully before it is too late.

"i know im going to get killed for this, but in this instance i side with the muslims. i do not think it is appropriate or reasonable to mock others relgions. time was when this was the real america, we understood this point very well. on another note, why antagonize a foaming dog when you dont intend to shot it? that dog just might bite very hard. islam being the dog in this case."


This isn't the real America anymore? Americans didn't make the cartoon. It was the Danes, and it is funny. Maybe you can hop on a plane and go kiss Osama bin Laden's ass for me.

[sangrila]

Actually, you are 100% right. We don't want muslims to be angry. They might actually try to kill Westerners or fly highjacked planes into buildings.

News flash. This already has happened and is happening. WaThese cartoons merely point to the fact that many people who are running the muslim world are fanatical zealots who order their followers to blow themselves up.

A religion that runs contrary to Western values deserves to be ridiculed and deserves no reverence.I will not respect a religion that calls me evil. I will mock and ridicule that religion. Whatever Islam is in its most noble form, it should no longer be given a benefit of the doubt. Open you eyes and look at the world and Islam.It is a religion that promotes murder. That is how we see it. If muslims have a problem with that, then they should start spreading peaceful messages.

I've been waiting for the BBC to come out with a Muslim version of the "Father Ted" series, still waiting...What we have is not a religion, but a death cult.. Should have been a wakeup call for the Danes and other "old worlders", but given their immigration policies and native demographics they are ten years too late. Couple that, with their pacific mentality ( they have lost their will, as a people, for survival) the average "Joe blow" European is doomed to becoming a muslim convert or worse. Those with the brains and resources will flee Europe.

Islam isn't a religion, it's a totalitarian blood cult.

It's isn't a deviation of Christianity, or Judaism. It's 'god" isn't the God of the bible. This is a misconception propagated by Ilamic apoligists and ignorant media.

You should study up, rather than repeat the same mistakes as others ignorant of Islam, what it is, what it teaches.
It may even save your life one day. Know your enemy.

"I'm not sure I understand- just how did they piss off the mooslims again? A cartoon of mumhammid with a rag on his head or what exactly?"

Didn't you ever wonder WHY they wear a rag on their heads? It was pre- Islam( but same people worshipping the same black rock called allah) custom to shave ones head down the center, from forehead to the back of the neck, like a reverse mohawk, that brought about the need to cover ones head, or else severe sunburn caused painfull blisters. Also, because there was no wood available in the desert regions where Arabs lived, they couldn't make toilet paper. Because they were nomadic, they traveled light, carrying things with multiple uses. The turban (turdband) has such a use. Muhammad of course, prefurred stones when wiping his butt, but also used his turd band when there were no stones available. They were washed when a water supply was located. They also became stained by the fruits and berries they ate along their travels. Later, they stained these turd bands with dyes as toilet paper became more available through contact with other cultures.

Oddly in the UK parliament is voting on a Muslim friendly law to make 'incitement to religious hatred' an offense.

[Nathan Zachary]

Does that mean this law will make it possible to ban the koran?
It incites religious hatred. In fact there are over 4,000 verses calling for muslims to kill Jews alone, never mind those that call for the killing of Christians and other infidels, such as hindu's and budists.

[Nathan Zachary]

You must also realize that the UK's parelment is full of muslims, who don't think too clearly whn proposing such "laws" that they can be used on them as well. I do suspect that these islamic members of parlement in the Uk will try word it so that their koran is protcted. I hope british citizens are fully aware of the wording of such laws before they blindly accept them.

We here in the USA must also be mindfull of Muslims getting elected to government. Jihad is much more that cutting off heads and making war, Jihad comes in every form imaginable that enables them to take over an infidels country.

[vimto]

The Muslim M.Ps are for the Bill, quite right. Our Parliament isn't so much full of Muslims but that they carry a disproportionate weight on these issues.

I agree that this is a very dangerous illiberal Act but we will do anything to appease the Muslims. We have no confidence in our cultural heritage and will sell if for a bowl of soup.

You are right about Jihad. I read the other day that Mohamed took Mecca without a fight. That is what is happening in Europe. We will surrender our countries to Islam.

Unless we wake up.... I pray it isn't to late.

[vimto]

Too true!

Islamic Father Ted...now that's one too keep in mind.

"Are you sure we are supposed to believe in Allah there Ted?"

Mohamed's turban - does my bomb look big in this?

My how we laughed while our birthright was stolen.

Warmest regards form a very concerned fellow Brit.

[leadhead]

Islam is a military and political ideology masquerading as religion. Muhammad stole from Judaism and Christianity and came up with the Qur'an to promote his quest for power. You need to do some studying.

He instituted the original moonbats if I'm not mistaken.

[houeto]

you make some exellent comments. again, western nations have deluded themselves on this matter with muslims, muslims otoh have no deluded themselves at all, hence the wot. since even our president cotinually compliments islam, i think it is a recognized religion, but thats for another discussion. the backlash as you so correctly state is due to the complete and utter helpnessness people feel when faced with the reality that islam is intent on other relgions destruction. that is the reality of things. mocking with cartoons is juvenile at best and only serve to give them more confidence, a bad mistake, given the political realites of today. look at iran, she will have her bomb no matter what you do. actually, i have an idea, no one is going to do anything. i will never get used to cartoons mocking others faiths, i believe in freedom of religion and as such refrain from mocking other relgions. when you mention its incompatibility with western democracies, i have to ask you, who let them come here? when you mention they continued mantra of relgion of peace, who tells you that? answer truthfully and you will understand my point.

Just so that you know, your posts are an EYESORE!
