Tout de maime! Not sure what this means, but Poirot always says it in the books.

Are you sure you spelled "maime" correctly? Otherwise it's something like "very of 'maime'", but I can't find maime in my dictionary.

By the way, here's a great site for translating things into a bunch of languages (it doesn't recognize 'maime' either (it's not always super-accurate), but then Poirot was early 1900's right, maybe the word is out of use?)

I wonder if we will see these cartoons published in the New York Times?

I also wonder if pigs will fly!

Probably "Tout de meme" all the same.


Fee for translation service: go buy some French and Danish cheese for lunch. Danish beer for later and Legos for any kids/grandkids you've got. ;-)

The gauntlet is thrown. What a shocking development. I thought for sure that Europe would roll over.

But it is one more major newspaper than has published the same in America. Le Pen has more support than the Minutemen in America. Where is political correctness stronger than here Uncle?

Yes, I congratulate France.

Personally I think every free country should publish the "cartoons" on the front page.

I'll go further and say that every Western cartoonist should produce new Mohammed cartoons.

And when the pros have run out of ideas, the amateurs should submit theirs.

"breasts not bombs"

Whew! You definitely need a strong stomach for that one! I've heard their leader on the Medved show. Apparently, all her intellect is concentrated in two specific parts of her body, neither of which is her head.

France had best prepare for a boycott. Just read an article on the Danish milk industry (Arla) which states that a recovery will take years.

Tout de meme: all the same...

No. The Muslim countries will focus their ire on Denmark, because they don't get anything from Denmark. They get plenty from France, including international cover and arms. Also, the French government knows where all the bodies are buried.
France-Soir published it.
Just about everyone in France thinks it.
And the Arabs will ignore it, because picking a row with France is about the worst thing any of them could do.

This just in:

 Mohammed Image Mirror

Since zombie’s site is currently overloaded, here’s a Danish mirror site of the Mohammed Image Archive.

UPDATE at 2/1/06 1:59:29 pm:

And here’s another sort of image archive, to provide a little perspective on the cartoon jihad: Cartoons from the Arab World.

They are hitting Charles heavy too. I don't think I've seen the counter drop under 3000 all day today.

I have just set a new record for my own blog, for two consecutive days. And that is one month AFTER I stopped adding anything new there. People are searching for the cartoons, and finding some of my older posts about the issue. I want to thank Zombie for showing us what free thought and speech are all about. If the Muslim world is offended by this, then the Muslim world needs to change, not us.

As shown by the context of this entire stupid "outrage" over cartoons - Islam cannot ever and will not ever co-exist alongside a democratic West.

Islam (as stated by CAIR founders) is here in America to scrap the constitution and impose sharia law.

Have a look at this. Via one of the best blogs in Scandinavia, Danske øjne på svenske forhold: http://dansk-svensk.blogspot.com/2006/01/support-cartoonists.html

Zombie in Danish Paper

LGF operative zombie’s Mohammed Image Archive (unavailable at this writing because of heavy traffic) was featured today in the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet: Tusindvis af Muhammed-tegninger.

way to go zombie, [hope] you have a revenue stream produced/increased by the number of unique hits

Quite the opposite. More visitors = more expense to me. I have no ads, no revenue source from the site. I have to pay for the bandwidth. All I do have is a Paypal account in case anyone wants to make a donation to help keep the site going (click on the "Send money" tab and for "Recipient's Email" put in "zombie@zombietime.com"). At this rate, I'm not sure if my hosting company is going to continue "looking the other way" about my periodic massive traffic spikes. I think this one has blown the roof off the barn.

There's something very powerful at work here. The same day Zombie reaches international prominence (amidst growing acclaim), Europe, almost collectively, seems to have turned a very important historical page. What do you call it when the zeitgeist meets synchronicity? A revelation, perhaps?

Any way you look at it, things have changed.

"Actually, France has shown some real moxy here, considering the mobs of crazy fire-bombing Muslims living in France. "

It isn't France. Its a French paper. Much like the original cartoon wasn't the work of the Dutch, but a Dutch paper. Still huge kudos to the publishers of both. I'm glad some in Europe have started to understand that this isn't a culture you kowtow to.

It was the Danish, actually, not the Dutch. But it's easy to confuse the two, I find myself doing that all the time!

And since when has the average Islamunist in the street figured out the right thing to do? Sure, governments of Islamunist states suck up to the West, mostly to fill their Swiss bank accounts with bribes and payoffs, but the average idiot moon-god-worshipper has consistently made bad choices when left on his own.

Here's hoping that these are the incidents that will trigger the Euroweenies to find their balls, and start getting on with the war. I've heard it said, you don't want to get into a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel.
