Sweden: Muhammad cartoon contest initiated

Playing with fire? Online paper representing radical rightist party invites readers to participate in competition, expresses support for Danish newspaper that touched off controversy Roee Nahmias

Playing with fire in Sweden? A radical rightist online newspaper in Sweden has joined the cartoon fray Tuesday after initiating a prophet Muhammad cartoon contest.

The paper, Sd-Kuriren, justified its decision by saying it supports freedom of expression and backs the Danish newspaper that touched off the controversy by publishing Muhammad cartoons.

"Freedom of expression in Sweden outweighs the Islamic ban regarding prophet Muhammad," the paper's editor wrote.

The online publication operates in southern Sweden and represents a far right party characterized by xenophobia.

In his remarks, the editor addressed Muslim protests across the world and the anti-Denmark boycott announced by several Muslim countries, while noting the paper will continue to respect freedom of speech and calling on all those who find the issue important to take part in the cartoon contest.

Although the website in question is a marginal one, research institute "Global Justice Group" already identified radical Islamic online forums calling for the Swedish site to be destroyed.

The latest cartoon contest may push Sweden, which so far adopted a cautious line over the cartoon affair, into the eye of the storm as well. Currently, there are about 350,000 Muslims living in Sweden, with Stockholm being home to Scandinavia's largest mosque.

There has got to be at least one person out there with $$ to burn...and the desire to do so...I know I would...

The First Annual, World Wide, Muhammad Cartoon Contest.

On second thought, it would be a monthly contest - just to keep 'em on edge.

...provided the proceeds are given to the Islamic-charity-cum-terrorist-front-group of your choice.

And provided you give up your first-born son to be a martyr in the holy cause against the infidel (praise be to Allah...and all that).

I don't think any muslim is on the sidelines waiting for this to put them into the fight in Iraq.

Scarlett? The same Scarlett that feigned 'outrage' when some sodomite felt her up on live television a few weeks ago?

I support this. As long as some portion of Islam is on a rampage, slicing off the heads of anyone and everyone, and as long as the remainder refuse to condemn them, its justifiable to hold them up to ridicule.

Muslims should be embarrassed of either their religion, or the killers who kill in their name. Or both. We're just helping them along. When the day comes that, either the killers have layed down their ginsu knives once and for all, or their muslim brothers are ashamed to be associated with them, we can retire the mockery and ridicule as having served its purpose.

Really, after everything we know about Islam, a muslim should be embarrassed to admit it, and embarrassed for anyone to know he ever was one.

I think there are a lot who are on the sideline. A majority. This is a very dangerous game to play. These Euros are the greatest gift to the Mullahs right here. Bush understands this. That's why he's saying to chill.

If you didn't have such a good tagline already, your post would have worked just fine...

How about we start a new joke fad? Mohammet walks into a bar jokes? I'll start...

Mohammet walks into a bar with a pig under one arm and a sheep under the other. Bartender says "What is this? Some kind of a joke?"

Q: How many Mohammets does it take to change a light bulb.
A: Two. One to change the bulb and the other to chop off an innocent bystander's head.

Hahahahaha! I got a million of them! I'm here every Tuesday. Try the pork!

Remember to include proper instruction, left hand for hygiene and right hand for eating grill cheese...or is it the other way?

A bagel and lox, that'd be OK too

Dear Billthedrill,

While a bagel with lox is traditionally consumed by a Semitic, Middle Eastern people, it is not "halal," but rather "kosher." For suggesting putting the Prophet's (pbuh) image on Jewish food, the merciful Koran commands all believers to cut off your head until you are dead.

Sincerely,
Imam al-Jihadi
