Dutch Islamists post cartoons depicting Anne Frank, Hitler in bed (as "revenge")

A Belgian-Dutch Islamic political organization posted anti-Jewish cartoons on its Web site in response to the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed that appeared in Danish papers last year and offended many Muslims.

The cartoons were posted on the Arab European League's site on Saturday. It was not working Sunday morning because of exceeded bandwidth.

The cartoons depicting Mohammed wearing a turban-shaped bomb were first published in Denmark, and then in newspapers elsewhere in Europe in a show of solidarity with press freedoms.

The Islamic site carried a disclaimer saying the images were being shown as part of an exercise in free speech rather than to endorse their content - just as European newspapers have reprinted the Danish cartoons.

One of the AEL cartoons displayed an image of Dutch Holocaust victim Anne Frank in bed with Adolf Hitler, and another questioned whether the Holocaust actually occurred.

Dyab Abou Jahjah, the party's founder and best-known figure, defended the action on the Dutch television program Nova Saturday.

"Europe has its sacred cows, even if they're not religious sacred cows," he told the program.

The disgusting, perverted, antisemitic "cartoons" run in all Muslim countries' papers, are far worse than that; as are the newspaper articles and T.V. shows they run.

That's just sick!

[Drammach]

I've noticed after Mohamed's name Muslims put "(saw)"...does that mean sick and wicked?

Not familiar with that one..

Usually, Muhammed's name is followed by " (pbuh)" which means "peace be unto him"...
"(saw)" may be a variation of that.. possibly in another language ?? ( Salaam something something? )

I prefer "military movement wrapped in bathrobes".

Great comment.. I think ridicule will bring out the best Islam has to offer...bombs and burning and beheading

Exactly what I was thinking. Very petty. Very juvenile. Maybe they need a spanking, or some time out in the corner.

dead, you must have been reading my mind.....I was watching the news last night, watching the rioting, the burning, and the thought occurred to me, "Where would we be right now if Kerry had been elected. Pondering this thought for some time, I came to the unalterable conclusion that we would be in serious trouble. I really don't think Kerry would be capable of handling this. At all.

"The Islamic site carried a disclaimer saying the images were being shown as part of an exercise in free speech rather than to endorse their content..."


Since when does Islam believe in "free speech"?

Does anyone believe that Iran will be dissuaded from creating a nuclear bomb by mere economic sanctions? Don't make me laugh.
