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.

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

From that picture, he/she/it didn't feel much, so cut 'em some slack there who.

LOL! To be fair; the red 'push-up' dress she was wearing at the time made mountains out of what are clearly molehills.

Actually, not being a big movie buff, and way to old to be anything but a dirty old man with respect to those two, both younger than my daughters, and thus not knowing which was which, I think I turned them around. While the one sitting up is the one I was refering to, the horizontal one isn't bad, although nothing like Ann-Margret or even Annette Funicello. in their prime. Of course I thought Annette was hot when she was a Mouseketeer. :)

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.





A man goes into an adult entertainment shop and asks
the assistant for an inflatable doll.

"Would you like male or female?"

"Female, please."

"Would you like Black or White?"

"White, please."

"Would you like Christian or Muslim?"

This question confused the man, so he asked,
"What has the religion got to do with it? It's an
inflatable doll!"

"Well," explained the assistant, "The Muslim one blows
itself up!"

I grew up in the 50's, and have fond memories of both of these fine ladies. Thanks for the pictures.
