Jihad call spreads on Internet amid Prophet cartoon row
Middle East Times ^ | February 3, 2006

Posted on 02/03/2006 7:07:21 AM PST by jmc1969

Muslim extremists are using the furor over the Prophet Mohammed cartoons published in European newspapers to rally the faithful to a jihad (holy war), in several Internet postings.

"Brothers, it's war against Islam ..., grab your swords," says hardline Saudi cleric Sheikh Badr Bin Nader Al Mashari in a voice recording posted on an Islamist Website.

"Slit their throats in the style of [Abu Mussab] Al Zarqawi," he said referring to Iraq's most-wanted militant and leader of Al Qaeda in the war-torn country.

He said that the cartoons - first published by a Danish newspaper in September with several other European papers following suit over the past week - are "part of the war waged by the decadent West against the triumphant Islam".

"To the billion Muslims: where are your arms? Your enemies have trampled on the Prophet. Rise up," screamed the sheikh, who is the imam of a mosque in Riyadh, amid the cries of the faithful listening to his speech.

Muslim bloggers even launched a Website, www.no4denmark.com, exhorting the faithful to boycott Danish products.

Danish dairy products have already been banned from supermarkets in most Arab countries in the wake of the crisis.

Mohammed wasn't a Prophet, he was just the first in a long line of murderous, raping, intolerant religious fanatics.

"These people need a serious desensitizing. I suggest running insulting cartoons daily until they become immune to it."

My thoughts exactly

See my post 18!

"Boycott Danish cheese? Sure. Why not. Christians boycott Disney, NBC and others who offend them."

Huge difference. Christians do not boycott the United States because a US media outlet runs something they don't like. I could understand some muslims boycotting the newspaper just like I understand the motivations behind boycotting Disney. I don't understand boycotting an entire country because of a media outlet that has no connection to the government.

When did you ever put them down? Oh, and while you're grabbing your "swords" (Sigmund Freud, are you listening?), we'll be loading up the MOABS. See ya on the battlefield!

"Slit their throats in the style of [Abu Mussab] Al Zarqawi,"

"Die in the style of Uday and Qusay."

This should (but won't, unfortunately) be a wake-up call for those foolish Democrats who have been claiming that the Iraq war is responsible for generating legions of radical Islamists and terrorists, and that things would be better if we would just give up and go home.

Clearly any pretext is good enough for Islamists to call for murder and jihad...
