Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that "Zionists" were behind a cartoon in Swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda, which depicted the head of the Prophet Mohammed on a dog's body. The drawing sparked an official protest by Tehran to Stockholm.

"They do not want the Swedish government to be a friend of other nations. I strongly believe they are behind it (the cartoon). They thrive on conflict and war," he said.

‘They’ thrive on war???? A little projection, I think.

Wish there was a picture. Ahmanutjob and islamics in general need to lighten up. The rest of the world is laughing while he spouts off.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

He wants an excuse to start war against Israel.

Those darn Viking Zionists. Yeah they sure have beards and curls.

I'd be more offended by the quality of the artwork. I guess the cartoonist only published it because his Mommy was out of space on the refrigerator.

“They do not want the Swedish government to be a friend of other nations”

- At least not the loathsome regimes of certain other nations.

To me it looks as if the newspaper was reporting on the fact that someone had drawn an anti-Mohammed cartoon, not as if the paper were endorsing or promoting the cartoon. Of course, that will make no difference to the Islamofascists.

Looks more like a pony , but that certainly is a Volvo in the background .

Looks more like Buraq, the human faced horse on which Mohammed rode to heaven to me. Was it captioned Mohammed? Anyway what's the issue the muslims have?

Anyway what's the issue the muslims have?

It's a long list.

"They are lying about being Jewish because religion means brotherhood, friendship and respecting other divine religions," [Ahmadinejad] said.

Yeah, like Muslims respect other religions...all except for that little thing about lopping the heads off "infidels". Ahmadinejad is certifiably nuts.

The Muslim “issue” is that they are so insecure in the modern world they don’t know how to cope with it, so their only solution is to destroy it and return to the Dark Ages.

*sheesh*

Hey, Ahmadangnutjob, the whole "everything bad in the world is the Joooooz fault" song and dance has become very tired and stale.

Here's a question for the Muslims: If it's really Allah's will that Israel (and the USA) be "wiped off the map", why hasn't it been done? You've had thousands of years to accomplish the task.

The Christian God is all-powerful; when He says that a group will be destroyed, they are destroyed.

Sodom and Gomorrah? Destroyed.

The Amalekites? Destroyed.

Jericho? Destroyed.

Every living thing in Noah's day, except those on the Ark? Destroyed.

So what's with Allah? Either it isn't really his will that Israel (and the USA) be destroyed, or Allah is not God, and your deep-seated hatred of Israel is simply a bitter tradition handed down to you by your fathers.

This is the same with all totalitarian thugs--at their core they are cowards.

- Yes, It looks like a lot like a 1973 or 1974 Volvo 140

artwork? How can the bloody Muslims know if it’s a dog—or
more appropo— a monkey— Aren’t Muslims descended from monkeys and pigs?
