Muhammad Caricatures

Danish Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard Attacked by Somali Linked to Radical Islamic al-Shabab Militia

Danish Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard

Well, the radical Islamists tried to get him after all.

Danish police have shot and wounded a man at the home of Kurt Westergaard, whose cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad sparked an international row.

Mr Westergaard was at home in Aarhus when a man broke in and threatened him. He pressed a panic button and police entered the house and shot the man.

Danish officials said the intruder was a 28-year-old Somali linked to the radical Islamist al-Shabab militia.

The cartoon, printed in 2005, prompted violent protests the following year.

One of 12 cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, it depicted the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.

In 2006 the paper apologised for the cartoons, but other European media reprinted them.

Danish embassies were then attacked by Muslims around the world and dozens killed in riots.

Mr Westergaard went into hiding amid threats to his life, but emerged last year saying he wanted to live as normal a life as possible.

His house has been heavily fortified and is under close police protection.

Mr Westergaard told Jyllands-Posten that the man had entered his house by smashing a window with a hammer and had shouted in broken English that he wanted to kill him.

And, all of this for what?

Cartoons of Mohammed.

Thank God he is OK.

Now, let’s see if there is any outrage from the world community.

I bet not……

Here is his cartoon for which there is a $1 million bounty:

    although everyone is entitled to their view, it is certainly not ok to push the gas pedal to the floor when it comes to driving on the freeway. Just imagine what kind of lives we will all be living if we try to push each others’ button. Common sense and civilized living require sticking to respectful conduct while expressing opinions freely. yes, cartoon can convey the opinion of the artist but wouldn’t it be smarter to engage in a debate than flaming a fire ??

    Ok Mr. Kurt Westergaard may be this is the opportunity to have a clear idea about the Man who you introduce through cartoon, even though he had been treated worse than you did by his people. They called him the crazy, the mad, the magician….. If you have some knowledge about history, the period when the prophet Muhammad was sent to earth there were terrible civilians whom are the Vicious Romans, the Barbarian, the Persian, and the most incredible Arab tribes. So the prophet brought for them the ISLAM (peace) by god for sure. So think about it.

    I think your prophet introduced ideas that are wrong. I believe that he did many things that are wrong. Please don’t kill me.

    It is clear then that Islam does not want peace or freedom. Yes, what you can disrespect we call freedom. What you call blasphemy, we call free speech. Don’t like it? Then say what you want, thats your freedom too. Just as I would stand up and defend your right to practice Islam, I would also defend anyone’s right to practice free speech.

    Islam is not a religion but a society of murderers. The world needs peace not suicide-bombers or any robbers, murderers. Every religion teaches to it’s people to love peace, to forgive enemy, to sympathize, not to kill, not to rob. Mohammad = illiterated person, full of bull shit.

  • TaterSalad

    What a fine religion? No! It is not a religion, it is a cult. This is what Islam brings to the world……….hate. If you are not a Muslim, they will use you, talk to you but they still hate you and the reason is………….You are NOT a Muslim!

    “Islam is a disease such that we must “seriously” set up a Center for Islamic Control(C.I.C.) like our CDC to further curb its influence…on our [population].
    We must look at ways to slow it down and eventually eradicate it for good. Otherwise I see no end in sight for its spread.”

    MUHAMMED’S EVIL SPIRIT AND ENCHANTMENT

    Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 359, Ayesha reported that Haresah-b-Hisham asked the Apostle of Allah and said, “O Apostle, how does revelation come to you?” The Apostle of Allah responded, “Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell…” The bells of hell? The association with devils is more clear in the following:

    Al Hadis, Vol 4, p. 360, Obadah-b-Swamet reported that when a revelation came to the Prophet, he used to become greatly disturbed, and his face became changed. And in a narration, he would nod his head, and his companions nodded theirs…” Attested by Muslim. This has all the marks of a trance or demon possession complete with facial distortion.

    Al Hadis, Vol 4, p. 414, Ayesha reported that the Apostle of Allah was once enchanted. He called to Allah who sent angels. They sat by his legs and discussed his problem, and one angel said, “who enchanted him?” The other said, “Labeed-b-A’sam, a Jew, who used a comb to comb Muhammed’s hair and the grape cover of a male person” He asked, “Where is it?” The other said, “In the well at Zerwan.” The Apostle went to the well. The well was the color of Henna and the date palms were the heads of devils. He took out the comb, and the enchantment went away.” Agreed. This sub-christian enchantment is nothing but demon possession.

    We know that Muhammed was possessed because he prayed to be delivered of his devil: Al Hadis, Vol. 3, p. 803, Ayesha reported that the Prophet used to say (in prayer), “O Allah! I seek refuge from Thee from the chastisement of the Fire… the trials of the grave… and the evils of the trials of the one-eyed Dajjal…” Attested by agreement. Who is Dajjal? He is a devil who possessed Muhammed
