WE ARE ALL DANES NOW!
Hindus consider it sacrilegious to eat meat from cows, so when a Danish supermarket ran a sale on beef and veal last fall, Hindus everywhere reacted with outrage. India recalled its ambassador to Copenhagen, and Danish flags were burned in Calcutta, Bombay, and Delhi. A Hindu mob in Sri Lanka severely beat two employees of a Danish-owned firm, and demonstrators in Nepal chanted: ''War on Denmark! Death to Denmark!"In many places, shops selling Dansk china or Lego toys were attacked by rioters, and two Danish embassies were firebombed.
It didn't happen, of course. Hindus may consider it odious to use cows as food, but they do not resort to boycotts, threats, and violence when non-Hindus eat hamburger or steak. They do not demand that everyone abide by the strictures of Hinduism and avoid words and deeds that Hindus might find upsetting. The same is true of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Mormons: They don't lash out in violence when their religious sensibilities are offended. They certainly don't expect their beliefs to be immune from criticism, mockery, or dissent.
Radical Muslims do.
The current uproar over cartoons of the Muslim prophet Mohammed published in a Danish newspaper illustrates yet again the fascist intolerance that is at the heart of radical Islam. Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's largest daily, commissioned the cartoons to make a point about freedom of speech. It was protesting the climate of intimidation that had made it impossible for a Danish author to find an illustrator for his children's book about Mohammed. Muslims regard any depiction of the prophet as sacrilegious, and no artist would agree to illustrate the book for fear of being harmed by Muslim extremists. Appalled by this self-censorship, Jyllands-Posten invited Danish artists to submit drawings of Mohammed, and published the 12 it received.

They are like Hitler and his Nazis. They do not respect nice people. They do not observe contracts or written documents that they sign. Lying is part of their culture so they "keep their word" at their own whim. They exploit weakness rather than protect it. "Collegiality" is not part of their lexicon.
We will be fighting them soon. It will be World War IV. And it won't be pretty.
I find it hypocritical that the media won't publish these editorial cartoons because they might upset the arab street yet they did publish false reports of military abuses despite requests not to by the State Department BECAUSE such "fake but accurate" news stories were inciting riots, violence, hostility, and terrorism.
World War IV. Just another name for 21st Century Crusades.
Long before WWI and WWII there were campaigns to conquor Europe.
Agreed but this time the battle will be far more bloody, and the death totals may be as much as WWII. Meaning, 20 million worldwide.
Maybe. Only because of the fervor with which Islamonazis will fight and the absolute disregard for civilian targets like women and school children and hospitals.
We didn't have to kill ever German or Nazi to put an end to Nazism. We won the Cold War (WWIII) against the Soviet Union but global communism is still oppressing people around the world and still considered a viable option by the left in American institutions of higher learning.
Let's not make that mistake again. No tolerance for Islamonzism. No support for Islamic theocratic states that supress the rights of non-muslims.
This is exactly correct. If this is tolerated, soon it will be considered bad form to suggest that muslims are involved in any terrorist activities, or that perhaps 9/11 ever happened.
Interesting follow-up:
I just happened to see a bit of Tucker Carlson's show on MSNBC.
He put the heat to Jim O'Shea (sp?) the managing editor of The Chicago Tribune,
saying that because American newspapers are NOT publishing the cartoons,
the readers are not being fully informed of the story...and that
the newspapers are essentially holding back information.
The editor squirmed and squirmed, trying not to be honest and admit
that yes, he's a censor, not a journalist. He also tried to use
the excuse that "it's dangerous" to report this news...but didn't seem to
think that printing
"IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO REPORT ON CARTOONS ABOUT MUSLIMS"
would tell the readers a LOT about the situation.
Carlson had Rachel Madow (sp?) of Air America on right after that
and this liberal nutburger proceeded to back up the Chicago Tribune
editor on not publishing the cartoons.
Amazing how liberal journalists and Air America folks forget about
that "right to know" mantra whenever they want to.
I'm a free individual and I'll do as I damn well please as long as it doesn't break the law or violate another's rights.
Try and stop me. I dare you.
