Muslim groups to exhibit ‘Muhammad Dogs’
The Local
* Hmm, this will be interesting. Will it be the Mohound Dogs, the dogs of war or will this whole dog-show go to the dogs?
* Seeing is believing and unless we see it it nothing really happend, right?
Two Muslim groups have indicated their willingness to exhibit controversial sketches by artist Lars Vilks after galleries in western Sweden declined to show the artworks.
Inspired by Sweden’s recent ’roundabout dogs’ craze, Vilks composed a series of sketches portraying the Muslim prophet Muhammad as just such a creature.
The well-known artist took his pictures to galleries in Värmland and Bohuslän. However, both refused to show the drawings on the grounds that the security risk was too great.
But now two groups – the Secular Muslims in Sweden (Semus) network and the magazine Minaret – have taken a joint decision to exhibit the sketches.
“This will take place at an established musical and cultural venue in Stockholm. Negotiations are underway and I think it will be ready at the beginning of next week,” Semus spokesman Hooman Anvari told news agency TT.
Anvari believes that there is a very good chance that the exhibition will go ahead as planned. .
“Partly because there’s a public interest in generating a nuanced discussion on this issue and partly because Lars Vilks has agreed to participate,” he said.
While he himself considers the drawings to be tasteless, Anvari is adamant that they should be put on display.
“Our intention is to create a nuanced debate around freedom of speech, religious freedom and democracy. These issues tend to cause polarization if they are not tackled in the right way,” he said.

Too small?
Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won't be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Unleash the “Jihad Jack” Russels of war!
Hymen Klitmann…you gotta be desperate…Both ‘girls’ are showing to much hair, call Iran, have Beasty Boy Ah-mad-inijad, send the religious police. The two men have hair showing as well. The funny looking little guy guy has got it all over his face. The oddball in the back has got it all over his head. He also has strange marks on his forhead and cheeks, like he has been wearing a tight diving mask. Where are the religious police when you need them?
