MUSLIMS in Cambridge have demanded a public apology from a student who printed anti-Islamic material in a magazine. The material included a cartoon depicting the prophet Mohammed which sparked worldwide outrage last year when it was published in Denmark. It is thought this is the first time the cartoon has appeared in a publication in England. Asim Mumtaz, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, said: "I'm horrified and shocked. In such a seat of learning, I am horrified that things could stoop to this level. "I'm actually shocked that intelligent people know how offensive this cartoon is and that they have decided to reprint it in such a horrible manner. It's disgusting." The cartoon was reprinted in Clare College's student magazine in a special edition on religious satire. The 19-year-old student who printed the cartoon has since gone into hiding and the college has called a rare Court of Discipline to decide how the student should be brought to account. Mr Mumtaz, a former Cambridge University student himself, is now demanding that everyone involved with the publication of the cartoon should make a public apology. He said: "I hope the magazine and the JCR apologise for what they have done. We thought we had gone past this and that people realised there is a difference between freedom of speech and outright insult.
This is an excerpt - I forgot to click on it - full story at link.
Every newspaper in the country must have a "Muslims Outraged By__________________" template.
BFD. May mohammhead rest his soul in pig dung.
I am horrified that things could stoop to this level. "I'm actually shocked that intelligent people know how offensive this cartoon is and that they have decided to reprint it in such a horrible manner. It's disgusting."
she's obviously talking about the beheading videos the islamists posted on the internet, right??
Funny how they're never outraged by anti jewish or christian cartoons. and here I thought those muslims were just asking for equal treatment.
there is a difference between freedom of speech and outright insult.
I guess it all depends on who's more insulting, you have to go a long way to beat the Islamic Imams.
I went shooting with two of my sons today.We had targets with mad mo's picture on them.
Some features coming to a paper near you:
Muslims Outraged By Puppies.
Muslims Outraged By Women Voting.
Muslims Outraged By Civil Rights.
Muslims Outraged By Free Speech.
Screw the muzzies. I don't care.
I could care less about outraged islamic fanatics. Too bad the world doesn't pour it on. The more outraged the more the world scoffs.
There, that's better.
Things that don`t upset Muslims:
Beheadings, crashing planes into buildings, blowing up naval vessels, blowing up barracks, suicide bombings, holding hostages for 444 days, stoning women to death, oppressing women, abusing children, chopping the hands and feet off people, killing people who try to help free them, blowing up buildings with vans, asassinating heads of state...etc etc
Things that do:
Cartoons.
Okay, who has outraged Muslim photos? I need a few.
Muslims outraged by the outrage over their outrage!
"Welcome to Heaven Akmid" proclaims Saint Peter, "Let your hearts' desire be known."
Well, replies Akmid, I am very anxious to meet Allah.
"Very well, follow me" says Saint Peter.
Akmid and Peter walk into a huge dining hall where a feast is being prepared. They sit down and Saint Peter asks Akmid what he would like to drink.
"Nothing", replies Akmid.
"Surely you must have something to drink" says Peter.
No, Akmid exclaims, I thought we were going to meet Allah.
"Yes, you will meet him very shortly," says Peter, "but first you must order a drink."
Very well, said Akmid, I'll have tea.
"So will I" says Peter, clapping his hands together loudly he shouts, "Allah, two teas."
Or how about this one...Giving the peace sign while wearing a suicide belt...
Oh, here you go...This is the protest they had last year about the cartoons. Nothing outrages Muslims more than freggin` cartoons. Why we don`t use Bug Bunny and Daffy duck as secret weapons is something I`ll never understand in a million years.
Oh the horror!!
