Once again the Mudslimes show their abiding, bitter hatred for the most basic human freedom. Once again, here's a link to the cartoons:

This link loads slowly but is worth the wait because all of the cartoons are in English. Just in case representatives of the ROP manage to shut it down, here's another link to another source, but some of the cartoons are in Danish:

OK, let defuse =>diffuse

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Been hearing of this for a long time.WHAT CARTOONS?Lets see em if they exist.

[From many - one.]

Danish imported cheese and beer. Maybe some brands of sardines.

[sportutegrl]

I would love to have someone, SOMEONE from the MSM print these cartoons. Show some (courage). If every country would print these cartoons to show that we will not be blackmailed by these thugs, the Islam nuts can't go after all of us. They would go crazy, not that we could tell the difference.

[From many - one.]

OK, time for my buycott: Danish cheese for lunch and Legos for the grandkids.

Note: Buycott is not original with me, I saw another freeper use it first.

BERLIN (AP) _ A German newspaper on Wednesday reproduced a controversial drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad, arguing that a ``right to blasphemy'' was anchored in democratic freedoms.

The drawing, which shows the prophet's turban transformed into a bomb, was one of several published in a Danish paper in September, which sparked outrage and boycotts in Islamic countries.

The caricatures offended Muslims both because of their critical content and because Islam forbids representations of Muhammad out of concern they could lead to idolatry.

But the German Welt daily put one of the drawings on its front page on Wednesday, saying the picture was ``harmless'' and regretting that the Danish Jyllands-Posten daily had apologized for causing offense. ``Democracy is the institutionalized form of freedom of expression,'' the paper said in a front-page commentary. ``There is no right to protection from satire in the West; there is a right to blasphemy.''

The French newspaper France-Soir also published the caricatures on Wednesday, saying that religious dogma has no place in a secular society.

Hmmm. . .Egyptian owner? I'd guess a Copt. The Copts are very confrontational with Islam, much moreso than other Christians in the Middle East.

There are links two posts before yours (post 21).

Islamonazis will call for a fatwa against infidel merely for portraying "he who shall not be seen", Mohammed.

The bomb is just something extra.

Odd how the response proves the point. "Take back what you said about radical Islamic followers or I will kill random people of your nationality."

Well put. And there was a thread on here the other day that quoted a Muslim gentleman stating that members of his faith would never try to shove their views down other people's throats.

France Soir sale deadline extended
By Pierre Tran in Paris
08 January 2006

http://www.thebusinessonline.com

ADMINISTRATORS running France Soir have won an extension to 12 January to flush out last-minute buyers for the tabloid daily which went into bankruptcy protection at the end of October.

The initial deadline closed at the end of December, with three bidders hoping to acquire the title.

Two have made previous approaches to the paper, whose proprietor, Franco-Egyptian businessman Raymond Lakah, has thrown in the towel after years of heavy losses.

Georges Ghosn bought the title in 1999 for a symbolic one franc from the Socpresse group, only to resell it a year later to the Italian company Poligrafici Editoriale.

Property developer Jean-Pierre Brunois, chairman of the Financière Hoche firm put in a bid in 2004 but failed to show up at the board meeting that would have sealed the deal.

Apparently, opposition from journalists at the paper put Brunois off, but he has come back with a second offer, this time teamed up with a sports journalist, Olivier Rey.

The third bidder is Vincent Lalu, who owns the specialist title La Vie du Rail, a weekly rail magazine.

The administrators hope that two more bidders will appear for the title, which will run out of cash at the end of January.

Belgian magazine publisher Dominique Van Lier and an unidentified media hopeful are said to be putting final touches to a bid.

The Knights of Islam- "Stop saying 'it'! Stop saying the word! Ohhhhhh"

The muslim world had no problems showing pictures stolen from a porn website and running them as "proof" of "American soldiers" raping "mulsim women" in Iraq at the time of the Abu Ghraib scandal. Thopse fake but accurate photos eventually were even printed in Ted Kennedy's hometown paper, the Boston Globe.

"We are up against uncontrollable forces. It will take a huge effort to calm things down," he told Danish media after the offices of the paper which first published the controversial cartoons were evacuated following a bomb scare.

Rasmusen sounds like another knee jerk lib grab a$$. Doesn't he command an armed force? Place them on full alert and issue each man 200 rounds stupid.

These stupid politicians really make me angry. They actually equate the right of this reactionary bigoted minority to destroy their country with their citizens right to National Security.

[kimosabe31]

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, had expressed alarm on Tuesday at the wave of anger in the Muslim world prompted by the caricatures.

How I wish the Christian world would react in a similar manner whenever this gang of jackals and hyenas destroys one of our religious sites (church, monastery) in Kosovo or Bosnia.

[rattrap]

The Germans did it today as well.

Are we going to let that big Danish milk company go bust?

From what I have been able to ascertain that Danish company, Arla, does not do business in Israel, although they do in a number of Gulf and European countries. I do not know whether they do that to avoid offending their Arab customers, but it would be ironic if they are observing their longstanding boycott of Israel.

Does anyone have copies of these cartoons? I'd love to see them.
