(RELATED: The Ever-Growing List Of Cowards Refusing To Publish The Mohammad Cartoons)The attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for its publication of images of Muhammad is “sure to accelerate the growth of anti-Islamic sentiment in Europe, feeding far-­right nationalist parties like France’s National Front,” frets Times reporters Steven Erlanger and Katrin Bennhold in an article entitled “Paris Attack Reflects a ‘Dangerous Moment’ for Europe.”[Snip] The Times...

Am I the only one that has noticed that while everyone else, when refering to the "video" the phraseology is, "a video that is offensive to Muslims and/or Islam".

Has anyone mentioned the fact that, Osama Bin Laden's only crime, was that he was faithful to his religious beliefs? Osama was killed for strictly practising his religion, as instructed by his moon god Allah, and his role model, the mad Prophet Mohammed. The Quran instructs Muslims to kill infidels, as part of the requirement to be a good Muslim.

by Mark Finkelstein February 5, 2006 - 07:51 Hey, I'm a multi-culturalist. I'm happy to see people observing their various religious holidays, from Christmas to Chanukah to Ramadan. But somehow, my multicultural enthusiasms run out of steam when it comes to . . . condoning the sacking of foreign embassies. Not Julian Phillips. The co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend blithely condoned the current rioting and burning of foreign embassies around the world by Muslims angered by depictions of the Prophet Mohammed. His explanation-by-way-of-excuse: "different religion, different culture." In the course of the show's opening segment, Fox's Yasmina Ykelenstam reported...

Analysis:Cartoon row partly Danes' fault By ROLAND FLAMINIUPI Chief International CorrespondentWASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- In September, when the conservative Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed depicted as a terrorist, angry Arab ambassadors in Copenhagen requested a meeting with Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. They were demanding severe punishment of those responsible, as well as an official apology from the Danish government.

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The name of Saddam Hussein has been removed from the list of descendants of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, the head of the union of Ashrafs, who guard the genealogical tree, told AFP.
