"Not with cultural terrorism, not with the attack of crowned" the 12 drawings humiliating on the Mohammed prophet (The cartoons showed Mohammed in different settings. In one of the drawings, he appeared with a turban shaped like a bomb strapped to his head.)are published by a Danish newspaper and began again by several other European publications as a sign of challenge to all the religious sensitivities of us, Iranian cartoonists , a new form of terrorism which we denounce vigorously. The initiative as of the these draughts men with court of inspiration indicates of one resentment with regard to Islam, religion of peace, tolerance and meeting of the cultures. It is about instrumental work a politically and ideologically to touch the symbol more crowned our religion with knowing our messenger, the Mohamed prophet . It is a refusal of the acceptance of the other, however held up by the European states like essential base of the democracy. An undemocratic step cultural terrorism is with its apologies
with this step aiming disparaging Islam and at presenting it as religion which calls with violence. It is in total contradiction with the democracy and, in certain European countries, with the secularity which is based
on the respect of the scarness of all the religions. The Mohamed prophet We consider that this step which pokes our sharp disappointment will not be able to reach the radiation
of the Mohamed prophet. Our dear prophet always remains, with or without his irresponsible insults, the figure on which was written the most works in the world. The documentary one recently diffused by an American chain recalling the principal phases of the life of the Mohamed prophet is a strong illustration of the radiation of the image of the prophet, symbol of peace, love and acceptance of the difference. The cartoon which has an artistic dimension inevitably is badly defended by the work of the Danish draughts men. Art expresses before all the beauty, the love and the tolerance. Any work expressing hatred and violence, even the satire, does not enter the artistic field. We invite these Danish to express, unambiguous draughts men , their excuses with all the Moslems of the world and to recognize that they reached the freedom of expression because the freedom of the ones, stops when begin the freedom of the others. We also suggest to them seeking on the life of the prophet for better knowing it before putting forth a judgment without base.
Hypocrites. Feh. >:-(
"I have had some difficulty getting this work published in my own country, and I believe it would help highlight the hypocrisy of the West's attitude to free speech if you were to publish it," the Melbourne-based Leunig was quoted as saying.Hypocrisy? This is not about hypocrisy, it`s about how Muslims use death as an only means to problem solving. That`s what this "cartoon gate" has shown. Let`s how many Jews hold up signs asking for death over these Holocaust cartoons, I bet you won`t find one, even though they will be offended just as much as Muslims were over the Mohammed ones.
