Minn. Man Cited For Posting Anti-Muslim Cartoons
- The owner of a store that caters to Somalis on East St. Germain Street found graphic, sexually-explicit cartoons posted on a utility pole in front of her business in early December.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) A Minnesota man who admits posting anti-Muslim cartoons in several St. Cloud locations has been cited with violating a city ordinance.
Forty-one-year-old Sidney Allen Elyea of Waite Park was assessed two civil charges Friday of posting materials on fixtures. Each carries a maximum fine of $250.
Elyea says he posted the cartoons to educate others about Islam.
St. Cloud city attorney Jan Petersen says the cartoons had sexually explicit depictions of bestiality and sodomy. He says the postings were designed to harass Muslim citizens.
Elyea’s attorney tells the St. Cloud Times the cartoons may have been distasteful but Elyea meant no harm. Ryan Garry says Elyea was exercising his right to free speech.
Garry says his client plans to fight the charges.

I agree that anyone posting sexually explicit posters of any type in public should be fined. This is not a freedom of speech or Mohammadan issue.

OT – Muslim Cry Babies in dying Britain:
Muslims slam response to far right
(UKPA) – 13 hours ago
There is “growing disenchantment” among British Muslims at the Government’s failure to tackle a surge in anti-Islamic hostility, a religious group said.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) wrote to the Home Secretary to highlight the “growing problem” after a march by far-right group the English Defence League (EDL) at the weekend.
Secretary General of the MCB Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari said in his letter: “Amongst many British Muslim communities, there is a growing disenchantment at the lacklustre response from our political leaders to speak out against anti-Muslim hatred. […]

The more you learn about Islam’s horrible history, the more determined you become to fight its spread.
It said ‘graphic’.
This implies at least R rated if not worse; I simply don’t think a civilised society of any type should accept such posters around the streets. That’s why I said this isn’t a free speech issue.

Finally: is this sexually explicit or not?
* Finally: is this sexually explicit or not?
A very good question. As far as I am concerned, it is a cartoon about islam’s false prophet & his “marriage” to Aisha, but a prosecutor might argue that it is “child pornography” and launch a prosecution against the cartoonist and anyone exhibiting it or possessing it. Not sure that the prosecution service would prosecute, or that a court would find a charge proven, but in this day and age where muslim “sensitivities” prevail, who knows what pretext might be used against an opponent of islam. Truth apparently is not a defence, as Geert is finding, and others have found before him.

In Rochester, Minnesota, if you peacefully talk to a Muslim for a first time you will probably be charged with felony stalking. In addition, the Muslim will be allowed to make up horrendous lies about you in court (which should be considered felonies) with impunity. Then your name will be posted in newspapers and throughout the internet with the lies (court found them lies, other claims not found fact within a reasonable doubt, but that doesn’t matter). You will get tarred and feathered and there is nothing you can do about it.
