Muhammad Caricature Watch: The False Cartoons and Danish Imams
Fake anti-Muslim cartoons attributed to Jyllands-Posten.
Michelle Malkin has THE LIES OF THE DANISH IMAMS
Lorenzo Vidino at The Counterterrorism Blog follows up on his report about how a delegation of Danish imams led by Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban disseminated fake anti-Muslim cartoons and attributed them to the Jyllands-Posten to stir up Islamist rage.
The Counterterrorism Blog: More lies from Danish Imams (Updated 2/5)
Last Friday the CT Blog revealed how a delegation of Danish Muslims, led by Copenhagen imam Abu Laban, toured the Middle East in December and showed fabricated cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in a very offensive fashion, even though the pictures had never appeared on Jyllands Posten.
The controversy has now exploded in Denmark. Friday night Danish public television, DR, ran two interesting stories about Abu Laban, the man who organized the delegation’s trip to the Middle East. While the first profiled him, showing his extensive links to the Egyptian group Gamaa Islamiya, the second showed his double-talk. Abu Laban, in fact, was first shown speaking on Danish television condemning the boycott of Danish goods (in English), then shown interviewed on al Jazeera, cheerfully commenting on the effectiveness of the boycott (in Arabic). To see the stories go to DR’s website, click on “Se TV AVISEN” on the right and select the news broadcast from Friday, Feb. 3, at 9 PM (the stories start on the 23rd minute).
Moreover, Andy Cochran has just made available to me the English translation of the Arabic letter that the Danish Muslim delegation presented during their tour of the Middle East. To see the document, irrefutable proof of the delegation’s intent to create animosity, click here: Download danish_letter.pdf
UPDATE 2/5: The original files in Arabic and Danish, first published in the Danish daily Ekstra Bladet, can be found here.
Jim Hoft has much more on Abu Laban, including a video link to Fox News Channel reporter Jonathan Hunt’s interview with the terror-sympathizing Laban.
Michelle Malkin has this link from the American Thinker.
So, a concerted effort by the Danish Imams to disseminate FALSELY ATTRIBUTED and MORE PROFANE cartoons to the Arab World.
Disinformation and inflammatory/violent demonstrations reminds Flap of the old Soviet Union/Communist playbook.
Do you think the Danes are learning about their Islofascist problem?
Perhaps……..
Flap will have more links and sample fake cartoons as they become available. Some links are not working – probably due to traffic.

Dentistry Today: Fight Tooth Decay with Electricity
Isracast: New device fights tooth decay with electricity
The Israeli company Fluorinex Active has developed a new technology for fighting tooth decay. The company is currently working on a small device which together with a gel will impose an efficient ion exchange process through an Electro-chemical reaction in which fluor ions displace the Hydroxide ions at the outer layer of the tooth. This is intended to produce a new mineral layer with significantly improved chemical and physical resistance to the aggressive bacteria and the resulting acidic environment in the mouth.
The technology uses an existing fluoride-based gel along with a device which produces a small electric current (6-9 volt, at low amperage) to achieve activation of the teeth that will enable the formation of a genuine electrolyte when activated. This in turn enhances the fluor ion attraction to the teeth and its exchange that transforms into a highly resistant and protective mineral layer.
Flap suspects there is more involved in dental disease/caries control than hardening the outer enamel layer through a plating method for better acid resistance. And on an epidemiological scale this technology would be difficult in a public health setting.
But, nevertheless and interesting development that bears watching…….

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Angry Demonstrators Set Danish Consulate in Beirut Ablaze

Reuters: Danish consulate in Beirut ablaze
Angry demonstrators set the Danish consulate in Beirut ablaze on Sunday and the violent turn in protests over publication of cartoons of Prophet Mohammad drew condemnation from European capitals and moderate Muslims.
Syrians set fire to the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus on Saturday. They damaged the Swedish embassy and tried to storm the French mission but were held off by riot police.
The Danish Foreign Ministry urged Danes on Sunday to leave Lebanon and advised its citizens not to travel there. Police fired tear gas to disperse the protest of about 20,000 people.
As peaceful demonstrations turned to ransacking Danish diplomatic offices and burning them in Syria and Lebanon, world leaders as well as prominent moderate Muslims appealed for calm and said such violence damaged the image of Islam worldwide.
“This has nothing to do with Islam at all,” Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora told Future television. “Destabilizing security and vandalism give a wrong image of Islam. Prophet Mohammad cannot be defended this way.”
Violence over the publication of these cartoons is BS and as it continues the image of Islam continues to suffer in the world community.

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Ends Cooperation With IAEA and Resumes Uranium Enrichment
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, right, receives a message of Cuban President Fidel Castro delivered by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque, in an official meeting in Tehran, Iran, Sunday, Feb. 5, 2006. On Saturday Iran’s president ordered the resumption of uranium enrichment and an end to snap inspections of its facilities after the U.N. nuclear watchdog voted to report Tehran to the Security Council. Twenty-seven of 35 member nations on the IAEA board voted for Iran’s referral, reflecting more than two years of intense lobbying by the United States and its allies to enlist broad backing for such a move. Cuba, Venezuela and Syria voted against, and five members abstained.
ASSociated Press: Iran Ends Cooperation With Nuke Watchdog
Iran ended all voluntary cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog on Sunday but said it was open to a proposal to enrich Iranian uranium in Russia, reversing its earlier response to being reported to the Security Council over fears it wants to produce nuclear arms.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran had implemented the president’s orders to resume uranium enrichment and bar snap inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency of its nuclear facilities – voluntary measures it allowed in recent years in a gesture to build trust.
“We ended all the voluntary cooperation we have been extending to the IAEA in the past two-and-a-half to three years, on the basis of the president’s order,” Mottaki said. “We do not have any obligation toward the additional protocol (anymore).”
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the move Saturday in response to the U.N. agency’s decision to refer Iran to the Security Council, which could impose sanctions.
So, President Ahmadinejad has his trantrum and orders resumption of uranium enrichment and the end of IAEA inspections.
But…… he leaves open a Russian deal with possible off-country enrichment for nuclear power. This is nothing more than another stall.
The United States and Israel know the United Nations is and will continue to be ineffective in curbing Iran’s desire for nuclear weapons.
Iran may either stand down, destroy their nuclear weapon production facilities, and allow verifiable inspections or risk invasion and regime change.
Ahmadinejad and the Mullah’s choice….
Stay tuned……
