A Few of FR's Finest...Every Day...-2-09-06...Riots Spread in Muslim World....
JohnHuang2 and dutchess | Johnhuang2

Posted on 02/08/2006 10:34:58 PM PST by dutchess



A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Riots spread in Muslim world; Cartoons held on suspicion of involvement

by JohnHuang2


I guess all of this rampaging and shooting and pillaging and burning could have been avoided if only we'd remind the mobs of Islamic pillagers and arsonists of how peaceful we think their religion is. I hope we do it soon, or things could get out of hand.
After the burning down of the Danish consulate in Beirut and the stoning of the Maronite Catholic Church nearby and the burning of the Norwegian and Danish embassies in Syria and the stoning of the Austrian Embassy in Iran and the flag-burnings and deadly shooting by "protesters" in Afghanistan, I don't know how much more of this peace we can take. All this killing and maiming and torching could harm Islam's 'civilized' image.
Well, at least they're not doing something really crazy like threatening to cut NEA funding. Or writing letters to the editor. After Andres Sarrano's Piss Christ and the Brooklyn Museum's portrait of the Virgin Mary adorned with elephant dung, I recall all those Christian rampages and riots that didn't happen.
As violent demonstrations spread across the world, about the only place you could find Muslims protesting peacefully was in Iraq -- you know, the place totally engulfed in violence.


Causing all the fuss are cartoons. In a push to win friends and influence people, Muslims are torching and shooting and stoning and rioting to "protest" cartoons that imply Muslims are intolerant. Nothing makes your typically laid-back and unexcitable Islamicist fly into a rage quite like the claim he's easily excitable. You either consider us tolerant and open-minded, or we'll go native on you.


In one of the cartoons, first published in a Danish newspaper in September and reprinted recently in other European papers, the Prophet Mohammed is depicted sporting a turban-shaped bomb with a lit fuse. (Instead of a bomb, they might have tried a panty hat, but that might be over-the-top). In another, a blindfolded Mohammed stands between two women who are veiled in black, their eyes visible through a narrow opening. In response to this horrible "insult" that Islam has a blind spot regarding women's rights, Islamicists say the cartoonists should have their eyes gouged out.
So far, the Democrat response to all the rampaging by Muslim lunatics is to drag Alberto Gonzales before a Senate committee to show him why it's illegal for Bush to protect us from Muslim lunatics.
The twelve cartoons were commissioned by the cultural editor of the Danish daily, Jyllands-Posten, to see if fear of possibly getting beheaded, stoned to death or having popular parts of their anatomy amputated by Muslim fanatics would drive the cartoonists to self-censor their work. The cartoon series was printed to illustrate Islamic intolerance. I wonder if the jury is still out on that.


Actually, it wasn't the 'caricatures' that got the Jihadists all bent out of shape, but the notion that a well-known taboo of Islam -- drawing images of Mohammed -- is being violated by . . . INFIDELS! Pictures of Mohammed are against their religion. Images of Mohammed could lead to idolatry, you see, so they're forbidden. But it's cool to threaten to behead non-Muslims for drawing cartoons.
Fact is, depictions of Mohammed's face with a veil pop up often in Islamic countries, and that's OK. It's the full facial nudity stuff that makes your imam wanna sack an Embassy.
They want non-Muslims to show respect toward Muslims. And we all know the admiration and great respect Christians and Jews get in the Arab press.
They want non-Muslims to show respect toward Muslims. And we all know the admiration and great respect Christians and Jews get in the Arab press.
In newspapers across the Arab world, Jews are depicted as hooked-nosed, swastika-wearing murderers drinking the blood of Palestinian children during Happy Hour. In one Turkish movie just released, American infidel soldiers in Iraq "crash a wedding and pump a little boy full of lead in front of his mother. They kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison -- where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv" (Associated Press, 2/3/06).


Thus far, as of this writing (Monday), only one newspaper in the United States -- the Philadelphia Inquirer -- has reprinted the cartoons. The rest have bravely agreed to submit to Sharia law.
Anyway, that's...

My two cents

Unexpected Help

Read:
Joshua 2:1-14

The woman took the two men and hid them. —Joshua 2:4

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 6-7; Matthew 25:1-30

cover In 1803, Thomas Jefferson commissioned Lewis and Clark to lead an expedition across an unexplored America to the Pacific coast. The expedition was called "Corps of Discovery"—and it lived up to its name. It cataloged 300 new species, identified nearly 50 Indian tribes, and traversed terrain that had never been seen by Europeans.

They were joined along the way by a French fur trader and his wife Sacajawea. They soon found her to be invaluable as an interpreter and guide.

During the trip, Sacajawea was reunited with her family. Her older brother had become the tribe's chief, and he helped them acquire horses and a map of the uncharted West. Without Sacajawea's and her brother's unexpected help, the expedition may not have succeeded.

The Bible tells of an expedition that also received unexpected help. The Israelites had sent spies into Jericho, a city in the land promised to them. Rahab agreed to ensure their escape in exchange for her family's protection when Jericho fell. In this way the sovereign God of grace used her to prepare the way for a victory in Israel's conquest and settlement of the Promised Land.

Are you in the middle of a challenge? Remember, God can provide help from unexpected sources. —Dennis Fisher

When trials seem impossible
And we can't face the day,
The Lord extends His helping hand
And makes for us a way. —Sper

When there seems to be no way, God can make a way.

Yes, how ridiculous is this. How very sad.

Thanks for a wonderful thread :)
