Muslims Still On Cartoon Rage (Updated)
Topics: Understanding Islam
Only in Muslim-land can you find a theological equivalant of Walt Disney's theme parks - a screaming cascade of rollercoaster events stemming from a common theme, in this case, rage over a simple series of cartoons depicting the Muslim's "prophet" Muhammad (emphasis on the mad is most intentional). Interestingly, members of Denmark's "moderate" Muslim community say they are reluctant to speak out with critical observations of their religion, fearing social isolation, threats and violence, as we are continuing to witness world wide over a series of cartoons. It's almost hard to believe that these people are adults.
As our regular readers will have already seen here, here, here, here, and here, this story has been taking on a life of it's on for some time now, and it appears that Islam-aficionados are going to continue trying to milk this cow until it's beyond being all dried out and long gone to market.
Now, from Robert Spencer we have yet another cartoon rage update in which Spencer writes that he is amazed that this story never seems to die, although I rather doubt that he is really surprised since we have all come to expect almost anything from Islam-aficionados. He says that these twelve cartoons could end up being the Gavrilo Princip of 2006.
Muslims want us all to believe that their Muhammad is so special that no image can be made of him. For many if not most non-Muslims, the only thing special about Muhammad is that he serves as the wellspring of world wide terrorism that began long before 9/11, and is showing signs of never ending. Islamists call it simply, jihad.
And the very idea of that if not for being so tragic, would be laughable. That's why the cartoons are so appropriate and should be propagated throughout the Internet and the world in order that Islamists know exactly what the rest of us think of them and their damned prophet, as they view him.
As pointed out in one of yesterday's posts on the Coke commercial and the "sexy" priest. As inappropriate and offensive as that commercial is to Christians, particularly Catholics, how many death threats and riots over the issue do you expect to come from Christians? We all know the answer to that - it's zero! But, then again, in this case we're talking about adults, aren't we!
Update: Apparently, the recent cartoons in Denmark's Jyllands-Posten are nothing new; it's just that no other images of Mohammed have ever been so widely publicized (and also that the cartoon of him as a terrorist just might be the most accurate depiction): Mohammed Image Archive - Depictions of Mohammed Throughout History. (hat tip - LGF)
Also, Evan Kohlmann at The Counterterrorism Blog reports The Mujahideen Army in Iraq has issued a communique threatening attacks in Denmark and Norway over the series of cartoons appearing in a Danish newspaper.
In The Bullpen sums up all of this appropriately with, "All this over some stupid cartoons."
