Danish cartoonists are in hiding. Will the group Jamaat-e-Islami place a bounty (100 kilograms of gold) on this cartoonist's head as well?

"The rage was just calmed and here, with an absurd and criminal logic, they go and stir things up."

I agree.

The illustration is a reference to the passages in Dante's Inferno that describe Mohammed and his son in law (and first cousin) Ali in Hell with their guts spilling out.

The question that the magazine (and with it presumably Opus Dei) is indirectly asking is:

Are we going to ban Dante next?

How much of our culture do we have to destroy in order to make Muslims feel "comfortable?"

To: Cicero
A cask by losing centre-piece or cant
Was never shattered so, as I saw one
Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.

Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;
His heart was visible, and the dismal sack
That maketh excrement of what is eaten.

While I was all absorbed in seeing him,
He looked at me, and opened with his hands
His bosom, saying: "See now how I rend me;

How mutilated, see, is Mahomet;
In front of me doth Ali weeping go,
Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin;

And all the others whom thou here beholdest,
Disseminators of scandal and of schism
While living were, and therefore are cleft thus.

A devil is behind here, who doth cleave us
Thus cruelly, unto the falchion's edge
Putting again each one of all this ream,

When we have gone around the doleful road;
By reason that our wounds are closed again
Ere any one in front of him repass.

- Longfellow's translation

TATP is a very unstable explosive that can be crafted from common materials found at the local hardware store. Tri-acetone, tri-peroxide is manufactured from acetone and hydrogen peroxide and a little hydrochloric acid. The Palestinian bombers favor it because the constituent elements are easily acquired. It is so unstable that the fool who attempts to manufacture it may end up detonating it before ever using it.

The scenery in Wales is beautiful. I've enjoyed every trip there, but I don't care for U.K. lefty politics. The platform of the Welsh Party, Plaid Cymru, is laced with line after line of reference to "socialist" principles. When I was participating in Welsh language mailing lists, a member asked if it was possible to participate in Welsh activities and politics without embracing socialism. The flame war that erupted ended my participation permanently.

Easy answer.
All of it.

All of it. Become a muslim or a dhimmi paying jizya and renounce everything you hold dear. That MIGHT be enough.

Now after burning Danish embassies they will go to work on the Italian ones. Pretty soon the USA will have many European Allies in Iraq!

Keep up this great cartoon work, and set these short fused gomers off as many times as possible, so the world will really wake up to what Islamofascism really is!!

Viva Italia!!

Sure. Bomb making classes and lovely evenings at the mosque bathing in hateful rhetoric.

The big story will be any day when Muslims are not outraged.

Thanks for info., interesting. It always makes my day when I hear of some of these thin-skinned chuckleheads blowing themselves up/`checking out'.
I got on an English political group site a long time ago. They were out-of-control leftists: hated their own party, hated us, hated Blair. I shared my photo: `Che Guevera w/ Mickey Mouse ears' and took my leave.
FYI, regular gasoline, stir in powdered laundry detergent until thickened, let sit: `Poor man's napalm'.

Muslims can take a hike! We have spared much more of their culture, than they wish to spare of ours. Muslims...better realize... Christians.....are not Christ, and we do not always turn the other cheek.

Attention Muslims: That is no cartoon, but an actual photo of Mohammad in hell, courtesy of dead MSM news photographers on eternal assignment in hell.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've read a "Muslims outraged" story. In fact, it's been almost two days.

Of course, I didn't read the news yesterday...

I find that styrafoam works better.
