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It's some time since I visited Palestine, so I may be out of date, but I don't remember seeing many Danish flags on sale there.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.
Ask yourself, would such a connection help or hurt Bush? The mainstream media agenda is to paint the Bush administration as a bunch of incompetents who are bungling the Iran issue.
If you listen to people like Frank Gaffney, the Founder and President of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, you begin to understand the Bush administration has a non-military plan to neutralize Iran. The plan is to support a huge movement within Iran to bring down the Islamic facist government they are forced to live under.
