Making a Mountain out of a mole hill ..Mohammed cartoons published in Denmark in September is a similar agenda
Irrational Hysteria again
The same as the Princess Diana Phenomenon again
It began innocuously enough. Last year the Danish writer Kare Bluitgen had been searching for someone who could illustrate his children's
book about the life of the prophet Muhammad
Keep a sense of perspective this issue is so small it's not worth talking about except for the general lessons we can learn
Where was the mob when the president of Iran said the holocaust didn't happen ? Are they boycotting Iran ?
To religious people their way of life is sacred
Both should be open to criticism.
It's not nice to insult, but
Insult is difficult to police so it has to be allowed. (and is in all western countries)
Cos some people do bad things then they hide behind religion. In Indonesia If someone does a cartoon of a gay guy in are they killed ? Are Danes permitted to come and kill ?
Last month the president of Iran said the holocaust didn't happen ? In his country he can say this, in Germany he can't cos it's against
the law.
People do bad things then they hide behind religion.
The cartoons are not offensive. Cos the cartoonists are not criticizing M, they are criticizing terrorists who do bad things and then
hide behind religion.
When you make a rule that something is sacred and cannot be criticised then this is used by bad people.
examples This is the issue here before they drew any cartoons the cartoonists, were told "if you draw, we will kill you "
This is the thing they are criticizing.
If something is legal and I say if you do this I will kill you, then I am the bad person. In this case the terrorists are the evil
people, cos the cartoonists are doing something is completely legal.
If the angry people want the law in Denmark to be changed so that if you draw a cartoon then you should be killed then they have to go
through the proper process, they can't kill the cartoonist themselves.
If you make fun of people who have a gay lifestyle then you are criticizing their religion aren't you ?
When leaders permit bad people to hide behind their religion, then they shouldn't be surprised if it is damaged in
the cross fire.

Key facts
Essentially some of the cartoons are saying Islam is the religion of terrorists. Instead of saying no it's the religion of peace the
reaction of many is "if you call my religion the religion of terrorists then I will bomb you. ", proving the point.
“Muslims seem to forget that just because they are prohibited from representing the prophet in any way, this does not apply to everybody else." Lebanon’s The Daily Star and in Arabic in Egypt’s al-Dostour It's important that there should be nothing above criticism. Religions have unchallengeable dogma, they say no we already everything there is no need for new thought. Why Boycott when other things are more important before September in August a Muslim guy was arrested (quite rightly) for handed leaflets saying Danish Ministers should be killed.
Once again the religious RWR fail to make the world a better place, but actually achieve more evil by stirring up hate and division. give up principles for money Another Moderate American Muslim website
It appears the internet is being censored cos the links now appear dead so I'm not going to put up any more links (but there are so many mirror sites you can find the original 12 cartoons and the hundereds of others that have been made over the last 650 years easily) There are of course also hundreds Anti-Semitic cartoons from contemporary Arab media. |
|
There always have been many pics of the guy "While the debate rages, an important point has been overlooked: despite the Islamic
prohibition against depicting Mohammed under any circumstances, hundreds of paintings,
drawings and other images of Mohammed have been created over the centuries, with nary a word
of complaint from the Muslim world. Theres hundreds possibly thousands some innocent some
insulting "site censored" check mirror sites a US court building has a Fresco
portraying him in a positive light with other people establishing laws"
"if you call my religion the religion of terrorists then I will bomb you. " Islamic RWR "you call us imperialists and we will come and invade your countries to arrest you !" US RWR reaction to 911,

From the Sun the most popular UK Newspaper (right wing and reactionary ..so don't take it too seriously. It uses a demo of 100
irrationals, but makes muslims look stupid
They would say "look free speech in the UK means intelligent debate.. to the religious it means 'you can't say anything about us, but we can walk down the street with death threats' (incitement to violance is illegal, but the police are too afraid of muslims to arrest people for it) This is pissing me off in most cultures you automatically put yourself in the other persons shoes. But it seems to me 90% of M spokesman, come out very aggresssively ..saying you are out to get me !. Instead of saying "I can see how you, are worried about free speech" they react in a paranoid and aggressive manner No muslim has been kidnapped by non muslims. Nor have non-muslims mounted terrorist attacks on Muslims. Nor have their flags been burnt or embassies assaulted. Yes we do appreciate that the Israeli government can be called a terrorist government and other countries have made misguided military actions, but the west is not out to get Moslems. No we value them as human beings., we don't want to kill anyone only see justice to murders etc. And millions of Muslims have migrated to live in western countries. (though not much the other way round) But the truth is more Muslims are killed by muslims than non-muslims. The countries have mounted wars against each other and inside against opposition people, political prisoners etc More muslims have been killed by their own governments than by the evil Americans ..add it up yourself. these spokesmen say it's all the editors fault they went out to insult and wind the Religious Peoples up.
Could it be this this whole spontaneous outburst thing is a cruel manipulation of innocent Muslims ? Last year and before no outrage about previous cartoons and South Park etc. but this year the Imams did a tour with an inflamed dossier (they must have learnt this one off Tony Blair). The cartoons can't be printed in the Arab press so the people can't judge themselves ..so fear the worst.. The Danish Flags were mysterious close to hand .. 2 people died in Afghanistan ..this is sick ..do something positive ! the from http://www.neandernews.com/?p=54%20...."The very FACT that the Danish imams and whoever else went on that trip with the
original twelve + three drawings which included this pose from the French hog-calling contest, and tried to pass them off as genuinely
representative of the feeling of the Danes toward Islam; the very fact that these men tried to INCITE hatred in the hearts of others against a
whole country is VISCIOUS, MALICIOUS AND DESERVES INTERNATIONAL SANCTION AND CONDEMNATION FROM THE COURT IN THE
HAGUE! Iran is behind this and Iran should be made to pay a price for this inflammatory incitement to international bad will and physical
violence resulting in deaths! "... |
Actually I'm baffled, I believe the spokesmen are afraid to say "well it doesn't offend me much", they are making themselves look stupid and lacking in perspective, They didn't scream when other religions were attacked and ridiculed in the Arabic press , they didn't scream when 100's of cartoons were published before, they didn't scream that a terrorist was insultig Islam when he chops off an innoccent guys head on Al Jazseahra. The cartoons can't be considered insulting cos unfortunately the K itself has phrases much more insulting than the cartoons. (strongly racist calling "people pigs, donkeys, don't be friends with them, kill them etc ", I don't want to say more) And the K is above critism If you want to mug a relious person , could you leave the gun at home and just take a piece of paper and a pen ?
The west desperately tries to show fairness and respect to Muslims, and we always will ..even though it seems we get little back. I would like to think there are fair and honest muslims and that they too are afraid to speak costhe radicals have the loudest voices. It's time for the west to close our mouths (we will cos we don't like to hurt people, it's just we don't like to be illegally forced to) and time for the rational muslims to open their mouths. When 9/11 or 7/7 or madrid bombings or jordan bombings or bali blasts or israeli-suicide bombings or delhi/mumbai balsts or yemen or kenya or nigeria blasts took place, they said: " these are a very tiny minority. they don't represent all muslims. " So, my question is " Do a single newspaper represents entire country? " Muslims say yes and they riot.. smoker : "Just this morning I have got three messages on my mobile phone telling me to come up and punish the Europeans for insulting Islam etc etc etc." I have the greatest respect for the moderates who spoke rationally and attempted to get the story in perspective. But the credibility of Islam has been greatly damaged in the west by the outrageous overeaction of many people and the failure to speak up of other moderates. Cos it just so unbelievable that people have really been so offended. Especially if they grew up within western culture ..with it's proverbs "sticks and stones may break my bones will never hurt me" as part of the basic philosphy. Surely people undersatnd that, you insult God more by killing someone, than by words. ALSO Firstly they weren't drawn with an intent to offend. It is legal for Kaffirs to draw M. Thirdly only one cartoon can be considered offensive, and the others have no offensive, connotation. (The fabricated cartoons are stronger and surely making them is a bigger offense)That by condeming the publication, but not death threats which instigated publication religious people are saying that drawing is worse than murder; this is unbelievable ..if there were 10 murders then someone put up 10 cartoon posters in the suburbs in Cairo would you really move all the investigators to concentrate on the cartoons ?. The moderates have had a chance to make Islam seem rational, but they have failed to speak up. The Western TV covers Haj. Does the Islamic TV cover the festivals of other cultures ?

Cover the Mosque in flowers To counter the well coordinated campaign to spread division and convince muslims that the west hates them could we non-muslims make some gestures of peace like covering the street outside the Mosque in flowers Princess Diana funeral style. Would Al Jaz show this ? Or could we do a "Peace to Islam March" Solidarity with with the vast majority of muslims who do not practice hate and violence ? |
Send in supernannyI have this child he shouts and rants, and says "everyone hates me", bangs his chest and then sometimes breaks things, burns things ? Hmmm.. Let me see .. When he's bad do you give him lots of attention ?. TV coverage, CNN BBC, does ne get invited to give his opinion. See what you are doing, you are only gving attention when he's bad rewarding bad behaviour . What's the solution ? Mummy should include the child in everyday activity and praise the child for good behaviour. You have to reward the good behavior not the bad. Come on TV give some coverage to Muslims doing good.

Up to Muslims to Discuss Islam
time to talk than now when all the world (it seems) is anti-Muslims? see what I mean you your angel self are making a media inspired opinion ...the world is not anti-Muslim.. unfortunately many people are so influenced by media they
come to debates/discussions with all kinds of
preconceptions and twisted ideas. 'ah you said that,
but your'e just been tricky..uou mean the direct
opposite." ...
Unfortunately the are some malicious people who are manipulating people and the media to cause division, hate and violence between
Muslims and non-muslims.
I can't think who would be happy about this except for the "devil". (And maybe people who own beach hotels in Thailand, but Not in
Indonesia.)
So I don't think non-muslims should debate with muslims about Islam for the time being.
There are differences of course, but I believe we have so much in common. We are all people of "God's creation" so westerners wouldn't
want to hurt Muslims feelings and if there was a natural disaster here like a Tsunami or earthquake the westerners would come to help.
Wheras the manipulators want people to believe there is an "us" and a "them". that westerners "hate: muslims" and that all muslims spend
their days making bombs.
Neither of these is true, when people experience each others culture they find a lot of their negative assumptions about other cultures are
proved wrong and that 90% of peoples everyday life is the same. Everyone worries, about the health of their grandmother, the children
watching too much TV, preparation for floods etc . Fundamentally I believe that the majority of people of whatever faith just want to be good
and do the right thing. Just that some have decided to take the mountain road and others the valley road.
I have no wish help "the devil" by fanning the flames the manipulators have ignited.
I will not play their game.
So I think it's best to keep off sensitive topics and share experiences to bring back about better mutual understanding; so that we can
together make the world a better place, with less danger, corruption and expoitation. Let's go and pick the plastic bags from the park or stop
pollution together.
(P.S. An american comedian warns of the politicians habit of focusing on outside .."why are we always going about Russians and
communists, it isn't Russians who steal my car, follow my wife on a dark night, it's American's I need protection from other Americans?
There are good teachers that inspire the children with truth and respect in every culture
I care about all people and don't like to see them
hurt so I don't think it good to discuss peoples
religions with them .. best to leave them be and
..talk about the weather or things we have in common
the whole point being by talking people get angry
..and then people get hurt: policemen or demostrator
each life is important ..only the devil is happy when
people are hurt.
Afterwards new facts begun to emerge..it gets worse
..it seems that some months after publication some RP
Radicals took them on a tour of the Middle East
"the delegation included other cartoons of Mohammed
that were highly offensive, including one where the
Prophet has a pig face. But these additional pictures
were NOT published by the newspaper, but were
completely fabricated by the delegation and inserted
in the booklet"
http://counterterror.typepad.com/the_counterterrorism_blog/2006/02/fabricated_cart.html
Could it be this this whole spontaneous outburst thing
is a cruel manipulation of innocent Muslims ? That
this whole process has been planned to make M'ms angry
and sow seeds of division ? Last year and before no
outrage about previous cartoons and South Park etc.
but this year the Some Danish Mslems did a tour with
an inflamed dossier (they must have learnt this one
off Tony Blair). The cartoons can't be printed in the
Arab press so the people can't judge themselves ..so
fear the worst.. The Danish Flags were mysteriously
close to hand .. 2 people died in Afghanistan
..this is sick
Surely onlt the devil is happy to see violence
division among God's peoples
..do something positive !
the latest about fabricated cartoons ..one of
which was just a photo of some innocent the French man
as the story unfolds it seems it's actaully a very
clever plan ..see this write up
GREAT ARTICLE .. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Commentary/com-2_7_06_TL.html
Islamic Society of Denmark Used Fake Cartoons to
Create Story!

In reply to email saying the Western Press Always blaspheme
There is no West - we are all people of the world just cos
people live in one country it does not mean they all
have the same point of view.
Don't give me this YOU are the West - WE are the good religious people opinion that's simplified rainwashing Cos there are good people in the west ..there are some bad people in the Islamic countries (thieves corrupt etc) All right wing people of whatever culture like to make simple ideas of the world. Right wing people of whatever culture in the world are the same even if they have a different agenda Unfortunately there are a few right wingers in the west who want to say there is a "US" a logical rational, sympathetic West , and a THEM who are all paranoid violent bomb makers The secret agenda (of the dark forces) is divide the world apart, to stop moderate muslims cooperating with western Ideas and governments. To do this they have come up with the plan to brainwash people to believe there is an "us" (Muslims) and "them" foreigners (or westerners) Of course the world is not like that. all societies are diverse have liberals, people only interested in nature etc. And that is the point I have tried to make before .. nature people in England like to be with the nature ..just like nature people in Malaysii like to be with the nature To top it all these right wing people are so arrogant not to realise that there in fact almost 7 billion people in the world 1.2 Billion Muslims included, there are Asians with Bhuddism, Shinto, Hinduism, Jain, Africans with countless religions, developing countries. You can't magically divide the world in 2. See how stupid and simple these right wing people are. Right wing people in Western countries like to rant and blame the foreigners .. Right wing people in Islamic countries like to rant and blame foreigners They want to say that all Muslims are a "us" and that moderates they should come back into "Muslim" the fold (where the right wing religious people can control them). Where it's OK to kill foreigners cos they are a "THEM" not an "US" They hope to achieve division so that they can more easily achieve their strange and violent missions.. They don't want any moderate Muslim saying "hey guys, it's not a good idea to plant a bomb there. Those people are just normal people like us .. " I guess they think by killing people there is going to be some kind of victory. When all you actually achieve is a lot more bodies. Won't the Devil be happy ? please play the game of peace and truth and peace not the game of divide and hate The above is important please tell people |
the blasphemy argument
"For years, they have been blaspheming against Christianity - only that the Christians are too nice to do anything violent about it and merely write letters of protest to editors." What an outrageous LIE Firstly notice the simplified baby thinking using words like "THEY". The press in a free country has a diverse variety of opinions. Would they inlude the Church Newspapers in the "They". Secondly almost all of the Western countries do have Blasphemy laws. Some Danish people took the case of the cartoons to the blasphemy courts, but they LOST.. Why cos in the judges prosecutors opinion they don't actually insult GOD, they are a comment about people who use bombs and then hide behind God. It does appear that the most common opinion in the west does differ from the Islamic world. The popular belief in other countries is that if you kill one of his creations .. that is when you really insult God.(You are allowed to kill someone to save a life.) Thirdly your friend will be able to show examples of the press making fun of Jesus. This is accepted. Why because the Christians believe their God and religion is a strong (like a tough tough man). That he like a tough tough politician has strong character and arguments so these "words" just bounce off him like tiny pebbles boncing off a mighty rock they do no damage. "the Christians are too nice to do anything violent about it ", well if your friend understood the writings of the Prophet Jesus you can see that he was against violence ..."Let he who without sin, cast the first rock", "turn the other cheek" (essentially if someone hurts you then don't hurts them back, when something does a wrong thing to you don't make another wrong to thing to them, instead be strong like man facing a naive child). Notice that there are no Christian Terror groups, no Christian bombs, no Christians burning flags, Christians never destroy what God created. The devil is the one who likes destruction. "People should realise that the Western press is very anti-God - whether Islamic or Christian" there is freedom of speech in the West so people are exposed to many different opinions unlike in countries where the government selects what people can hear. So you can't make generalised statements like your friend did. Notice how some newspapers in Europe have published some haven't. -Some say you have to speak freely about everything
otherwise corrupt politicians would try to hide behind
God as well
(of course each country in Europe has it's own Islamic press also) Don't Muslims think the inncocent mother and father of a man or woman aren't offended when they see the terrorists chop of their children's heads on Al Jazhera TV ? By falling for this hate doctrine it is the innocent who insult God and his creation. Western children were created by God if you hate them you hate the product of God. Think for yourself and make your own decisions.
|
By making a fuss they showed to be people and caused it to get published More widely Bhudda, statues destruction .. Blasphemy ?
How can we counter the message of hate, divide, lies, aggression and violence of the Islamofascist ? The devils work God of good values Is their God a god of peace, truth, fairness, reason , respect understanding and construction , Or is he one of hate, division lies and destruction ?
From message of peace, understanding respect for God's creation. TV covers Haj Given up on moderate Muslims -Name child m - Everyone hates me letter Given up on moderate Muslims
-Name child m - Everyone hates me letter to agony Aunt
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog/
Why are there so many muslims in Denmark ? Aren't they largely there cos they are refugees fleeing nations oppressed them.. cos no freedom of speech etc
“A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him enter Paradise.”[16]
Similarly, he (SAWS) said, - “A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger.”
from http://www.khader.dk/flx/in_english/commentary_i_feel_insulted/ Therefore, as a Muslim and a democrat, I want to stress that: I (and many others) do not feel offended by the drawings. But I do feel deeply insulted that where there was earlier a tradition for religious satire in the Middle East it now seems that a satirical stance on religion has become the privilege of the West. And I am offended that freedom of speech, the press, and artistic expression is predominantly the preserve of the Western world. Why are we not fighting here in Denmark for the right of Muslim artists to enjoy the same privileges as their Western colleagues?
I find it insulting that we in Denmark hear demands for an apology to Saudi Arabia’s fundamentalists instead of demands for democratic freedoms for everyone, Muslims included.
