Orchestrated Muslim "Rage"

Orchestrated Muslim "Rage" by Charles Moore, Telegraph

It's some time since I visited Palestine, so I may be out of date, but I don't remember seeing many Danish flags on sale there. Not much demand, I suppose. I raise the question because, as soon as the row about the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Jyllands-Posten broke, angry Muslims popped up in Gaza City, and many other places, well supplied with Danish flags ready to burn. (In doing so, by the way, they offered a mortal insult to the most sacred symbol of my own religion, Christianity, since the Danish flag has a cross on it, but let that pass.)

Why were those Danish flags to hand? Who built up the stockpile so that they could be quickly dragged out right across the Muslim world and burnt where television cameras would come and look? The more you study this story of "spontaneous" Muslim rage, the odder it seems.

The cartoons were published in Sept 2005. Did it take 4 months to buy enough Danish flags to stomp upon?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is obviously using these cartoons to silence the opposition to his regime in Iran.

I'm sure they're distributing Iranian flags in preparation. This will soon morph from outrage over cartoons to rights to nuclear power.

From what I've gathered, I'm coming to believe that International ANSWER has a heavy hand in organizing a lot of this.

"..... Did it take 4 months to buy enough Danish flags to stomp upon?......"

Sounds like the right timeframe for them to get an order in to a Chinese manufacturer, and the manufacturer to get into production and then ship the items.

Interesting thought I had, for almost 3 years the libs have been telling us that the war on terror would set the Arab streets aflame. Well the Arab streets are aflame, because of a cartoon!

Boy, just think if Islam wasn't "the religion of peace" all heck would break out.

All very right on.

Why then, are we pussyfooting around about these dreadful acts of Terroism? They are IRAN-sponsored acts of war, thinly veiled as religious protest.

The consequences of such criminal activity must be swift and forceful. And be supported by all law abiding countries, worldwide.

I'm outraged too ... about this mooslim's outrage.

Anyone know where I can get one of those bumper stickers with a picture of Calvin Peeing on Mohamhead and that bomb in his turbin?

That would be nice. ;o)

Interesting. Why isn't the mainstream media making the Iran/cartoon connection?

This entire peice of crap is manufactured. The flags are manufactured, the rage is manufactured, the demonstrations are manufactured and the pious bullsh*t muslim outrage is manufactured.

If Islam is held in disrepect and is mocked and made fun of (and well it should be) it is it's ignorant, unwashed, murderous, brain-dead followers that have to shoulder the blame.

They belong to a ridiculous, absurd, pitiful excuse for religion. How do expect us not to laugh?

When they took a pedophile con man and crook as their "inspiration", their fate was sealed.

What gets me is how the various embassies and other official buildings could have been burned down so easily. Weren't they protected night and day with security guards? If so, why not?

One lighted match thrown from a car couldn't have started these blazes. Accelerants must have been used, perhaps getaway cars, lookouts here and there on corners, movement among shadowy figures in or around the buildings.....what the hell happened here?

Even I could not be so stupid, unaware and unprepared as the government officials of the affected countries. They must still think that radical Islam is just kid's play.

yes - three of those months were spent by muslims trying to figure out what a Dutch flag looked like. Illiteracy make using a library difficult.
