 Kurt Westergaard’s new cartoon:

 

Hedegaard translates the toon for us:

The lady says: “Oh martyr. You are in the most wonderful place”

And the martyr answers: “Paradise? Denmark?”

By the way, the text “Ytringsfrihed” on the ink well means: Freedom of expression. The § sign above it refers to the provision in out constitution guaranteeing just that.

The kneeling man with the pipe is Denmark’s most notorious dhimmi, former foreign minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen

“We will penalize anyone or any group responsible for making such blogs,” he told tempointeraktif.com.

Nuh said the blogger had violated the 2008 law on information and electronic transactions, by disseminating information which could create rivalry among religious communities.

City Police special crimes director Commissioner Raja Erizman said police had traced the website and found it was created outside Indonesia.

The blog, which uses the wordpress.com facility, presents cartoons of the Prophet and has been visited by 91,597 people. It also cites misleading translations of Koranic verses and the prophet deeds and sayings stated in the hadiths. (ewd)

Too small? Click here This 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. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  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, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, 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?

The screw tightens

Seems like Indonesia is determined to slide down the same Islamic slope as Malaysia, the Pakistan of S.E. Asia. Knowing Indonesia and many Indonesians very well, I have an Indonesian wife, I had hoped the vast moderate majority of them would be able to hold back the Islamic tide. But as has been illustrated with the passing of the hideously loose Pornography Law the Islamists are determined to turn all Kaffirs in to Dhimmies and impose Shariah by the back door in this supposedly secular country with its doctrine of Pancasila (simplistic meaning live and let live).

I know how it feels, Peter.

I spent some great times in Indonesia and I cannot imagine that the people I knew are happy about what’s happening there. But now they’re getting the real deal, and since Islam means submission nobody dares to take a stand aganst it.

Sad.

Fuck submission!

I lived in Indonesia for 3 1/2 years in East Java. I cannot believe that Sharia law could be imposed. The folks I interacted with were very tolerant of differences. Really great people.
