A Motoon a Day

(Reuters) - France confirmed on Friday it would allow no street protests against cartoons denigrating Islam’s Prophet Mohammad that were published by a French magazine this week.

A Muhammad Cartoon a Day  (Daniel Pipes)

When Salman Rushdie mocked Islamic sanctities in 1989 in his magical realist novel The Satanic Verses, Ayatollah Khomeini did something shockingly original: He pronounced a death edict on Rushdie and all those connected to the production of his book. By doing this, Khomeini sought to impose Islamic mores and laws on the West; we don’t insult the prophet, he effectively said, and neither can you.

That started a trend of condemning those in the West deemed anti-Islamic that persists to this day. again and again, when Westerners are perceived as denigrating Muhammad, the Koran, or Islam, Islamists demonstrate, riot and kill.

See them all, here!

What Did You Say About Muhammad?!

by Raymond Ibrahim/ Pajamas Media

Which is more likely to elicit an irate Muslim response: 1) public cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad, or 2) public proclamations that Muhammad was a bisexual, sometime transvestite and necrophile, who enjoyed sucking on the tongues of children, commanded a woman to “breastfeed” an adult man, and advised believers to drink his urine for salutary health?

Based on the recent South Park fiasco—where an animated episode depicting Muhammad in a bear suit sparked outrage among various Muslim groups, culminating with the usual death threats—the answer is clear: cartoons, once again, have proven to be the Muslim world’s premiere provocateur. Indeed, during a university lecture the other day, Swedish artist Lars Vilks, whose life is in jeopardy due to his depiction of Muhammad as a dog, was violently assaulted to ululations of “Allahu Akbar!” (Islam’s primordial war cry).

Yet how can cartoons rouse Muslim ire more than public assertions that Muhammad was a bisexual, a transvestite, a necrofile, et al? First, context:

Double Standards? You Got It!

Malmö: Anti-Islam party posters show Muhammad naked

Islam in Europe presents:

Update: French blog Bivouac-ID posted a picture of the poster (above). The caption reads “Mohammed with wife, he’s 53, she’s 9. Is this the type of marriage we want to see in SkÃ¥ne?”

“Reporters think it could be hate speech.”

Think about that one moment. This is the year 2010.  “Reporters think it could be hate speech”-WTF? What’s the world coming to? Read the rest here

Dutch Arab group acquitted over Holocaust cartoon

Vilifying Jews is just cool in the Netherlands. Threatening and killing those who object to the Islamization of Europe  is also…. okay. Know your place, dhimmi!

Expatica

A Dutch court Thursday acquitted an Arab organisation in The Netherlands of insulting Jews when they published a Holocaust-denying cartoon in response to caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed. (And yet, vile and disgusting anti-western and anti-Israel cartoons are standard fare in the “Islamic world”/ed)

The district court in Utrecht in the central Netherlands ruled that while the cartoon was “tasteless and particularly offensive”, its use within the context of free speech was not punishable.

September 30 is International Free Press Day

Four years ago on September 30, 2005,  Jyllands-Posten published twelve drawings of Islam’s prophet Muhammed. To demonstrate that prohibition of any depiction of the prophet, as stipulated by sharia law would not trump Denmark’s freedom of the press, twelve cartoonists had their entries published.

Muslims around the world rioted in response. At least one hundred deaths were reported. The Danish embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran were torched. European buildings were stormed and the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, and German flags were desecrated in Gaza City.

Mahmoud al-Zahar of Hamas issued death threats. Critics of the cartoons described them as Islamophobic and racist, arguing they were blasphemous to Muslims and a manifestation of western imperialism. In 2008, slightly after two years of the initial publication, the cartoons were re-published. More riots ensued, complete with shouts of ” death to the cartoonist!”.

Roger Kimball has the skinny at PJM regarding Yale’s squeamish removal of any and all illustrations of the MoToons in a book about the ‘Toons. How dumb is that?

The book in question is by Jytte Klausen, and the title is The Cartoons That Shook the World without the shaking ’toons, mind you. And no images of Mohammed, either. Maybe Jesus with a beanie? Saint Peter juggling rocks?

* Unfortunately for Kurt Westergaard, who sued Geert Wilders over using his “Muhammad with bomb in turban cartoon” in his movie ‘FITNA’ without authorization, there is only ONE Islam and that’s the one that wants him dead.
