COPENHAGEN, Feb 2, 2006 (AFP) - Denmark, where the publication of cartoons of Prophet Mohammed has provoked the wrath of the entire Muslim world, should "look at what happened to Theo van Gogh", a radical Islamic group warned on Thursday, referring to a murdered Dutch filmmaker.
"It says in the Koran that the death penalty should be used for anyone who insults the prophet," Anjem Ghoudary, a spokesman for the London-based Al Ghurabaa group, told Danish daily Politiken.
"Look at what happened to Theo van Gogh in Holland and you will understand that Muslims should be taken seriously," he added, referring to the 2004 murder of the filmmaker by a Muslim radical for linking Islam to abuse of women.
Ghoudary's comments came as Muslim anger continued to balloon over 12 caricatures of Mohammed, which first appeared in Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, provoking burnings of Danish flags, the recalling of ambassadors, boycotts of Danish products and threats of violence against Scandinavians in Muslim countries.
The Al-Ghurabaa group, which counts as members many former students of the radical cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed who was stripped of his British residency last August as part of London's bid to rein in radical Islamic leaders, has also called for a demonstration on Friday outside the Danish embassy in the British capital.
On its website, the group calls Denmark, France and Norway, where the controversial drawings have also been published, the "Trinity of Evil", carrying an image of the three countries' flags ablaze.
"The recent cartoons that appeared in a Danish newspaper and that were then re-printed ... which insult the Messenger Muhammad carry the death penalty in Islam for the perpetrators, since the Prophet said 'Whoever insults a Prophet kill him'," the group states on its site.
Do the danes have any spare nukes laying around? Or do they even have one?

I wish I could agree and in a sense I do. But tonight I saw Denmark's PM on TV trying to explain to a Muslim news reporter his government's position and it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. It was obvious the Muslim was gloating in his pleasure at the discomfort of the PM.

I just sent a note to Mr. Ghoudary. I politely told him that I find his attempts to influence me a rude intrusion.
Keep publishing the cartoons!
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
Sorry but that's a total line of BS.
Sura 9:11
But if they repent and are firm in devotion and pay the zakat, then they are your borthers in faith.
At least that's the gist of what I wrote.
This may not be a popular stance, but I will not support one drop of American blood spilled to bail Europe out again.
If they want to appease, drop on their knees, then let them. If they do not expell Islam from the greater part of their culture, then let the Muslims have them.
If they cannot see the abstract possibility that is happening even now, then they will get what they deserve. So get on your knees Europe, five times a day, but don't call us to save you unless you are willing to lose your silly socialism and fight for your culture, language and history.
Did any FReepers make screen shots of these cartoons, or know where they are on the web?

Well -- that's pretty much the gist of what I was yelling at the TV screen in the restaurant. But I phrased it more along the lines of a suggestion that CNN go have carnal knowledge with itself, and that the rag-heads can matriculate to the seventh level of Dante's Inferno -- without passing go, and without collecting 72 virgins.
I got several dirty looks -- and several more nods of approval and amens.

Let me re-phrase your opening comment; "This may not be an unpopular stance, but...
Predictably, about half of DU stands for freedom of speech, the others blame Christians and the west. I simply can't fathom how they're willing to stand up for islam the way they do. It's frightening.
Dawg, please don't make me laugh so hard, damn, it hurts.
I want that patch! Please tell me where I can get one.
See post 43, thanks.
I saw it...the commentator said that they pixilated the picture because Al Jezeera did and CNN did not want to offend anyone's religion. Just wait until the next pot shot that they take at Jesus or Christians. Thousands of irate emails and phone calls should remind them of their reverence for religious people.
Good one.
