Cartoonists Launch Counterattack Against Islamic Terrorism After Charlie Hebdo Slaughter

National Review Online ^ | January 7, 2015 | Brendan Bordelon

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Cartoonists worldwide reached for their pens on Wednesday in response to the horrific attack on the satirical Parisian newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which killed ten journalists and two policemen.

The attackers repeated shouts of “Allahu akbar” and claims of “aveng[ing] the prophet” make it likely that the newspaper’s publication of cartoons mocking the Islamic prophet Mohammed prompted the slaughter. But cartoonists around the globe made it clear they would not be intimidated into silence.....

It’s probably more about copyright and professional click courtesy than stones. Jihadists won’t really be particular over links vs content, lawyers on the other hand...

[Gasshog]

I dont think shooting the bird or insulting them causes the outrage.

Its when you insult MoHAMhead that infuriates them.

These cartoons are lame in that respect.

[PA-RIVER]

The people of France need to hang these cartoons everywhere.

Then start choking the islamist neighborhoods. Shut the water off. Turn the sewers off. Turn the gas off. Turn the electricity off. Then start handing out tickets to Syria.

Disappointing that National Review doesn’t have the stones to post the cartoons, only the links to other sites which have the cartoons.

When I went to the National Review article, the images were there above the links. I liked this one...

nice

[PA-RIVER]

I know a Muslim who is not radical. He just identifies with the religion through his parents.

But mention Muhammed with disrespect, and he’s ready to kill. Like a switch goes off in his head.

[Charles Martel]

Yep - how sad that in our own country, a student could get suspended or expelled for assembling that “AR-15” (the shape is distinctive) out of drawing supplies.

[PA-RIVER]

So the big question is, will France start a voluntary clitorectomy program, financed by the state to placate the religion of peace? Or will it be mandatory?

WHY MUSLIMS ARE VIOLENT

This is pretty straight forward folks. There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Violence is not an aberration in Islam—it is DOCTRINE. Dozens of passages in the Quran exhort Muslims to hate or kill or terrorize infidels (non-Muslims) wherever they find them. For examples, see Suras 2:190-193, 2:216, 2:244, 3:56, 3:142, 3:151, 4:56, 4:74 (beheading), 4:76, 4:84, 4:89, 4:91, 4:95, 4:104, 5:51, 5:32-38, 7:96-99, 8:12-15 (beheading), 8:39, 8:57-60, 8:65-67, 9:5, 9:14, 9:20-30, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:88, 9:111, 9:123, 17:16, 18:65-81, 21:44, 22:18-22, 25:52, 33:60-62, 47:3-4 (beheading), 47:35, 48:16-17, 48:29, 61:4, and 66:8-12. These are the passages that jihadists quote in defense of their horrible atrocities. Unlike the Old Testament, violence in the Quran is mostly open-ended, that is, not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding events.

While there are a couple of passages that Muslims point to that might suggest peaceful solutions (Suras 2:256, 29:46, 41:34), these are overwhelmed by the violent ones. Indeed, the peaceful passages were abrogated by the violent ones—because the violent ones were written later, after Muhammad’s move to Medina (from Mecca). Anyone who wants to commit acts of violence has perfect justification for doing so from the Quran. There is nothing in the Quran comparable to Jesus’ teachings to “turn the other cheek” and to “love your neighbor.”

You can look these passages up for yourself. Below is a site that has three translations of the Quran side-by-side. (Note: English translators of the Quran sometimes try to soften the true Arabic meaning of some of these passages. For example, to “fight” really means to kill in Arabic.)

In addition to the Quran are the hadiths. These are collections of sayings and actions of Muhammad. Indeed, Muhammad was one of the most violent men in history, setting the example for all Muslims to follow. See this link:

Too deep a message for most to recognize or comprehend.

[dfwgator]

There are peaceful Muslims

Peaceful Muslims are apostates.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This is not offensive to Muslims, many of whom regard 9-11 as “a great Muslim victory”. So what does a plane being flown into two pencils indicate? Little or nothing. No cartoonist will be threatened in the least over it.

What if instead, the cartoonist did a comic showing a nuclear bomb falling on the Kaaba (the big cubical stone thing) in Mecca? It would be just a bit more on point.

Obama is a muzzie and can pound sand. Probably already does.

[Uncle Miltie]

I hear he pounds more than sand.

Ask Reggie.
