Muhammad Caricature Watch: Manifesto Against ISLAMISM
The Muhammad Caricatures. The individual caricatures are here. Published in today’s Indland Jyllands-Posten (Denmark):
MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism
After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.
We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.
The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.
Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations. The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world. But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred. Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world of domination: man’s domination of woman, the Islamists’ domination of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to oppressed or discriminated people.
We reject « cultural relativism », which consists in accepting that men and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality, freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions. We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of “Islamophobia”, an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.
We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.
We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

Muhammad Caricature Watch: “Death to America”
Pakistani Shiite Muslim women hold anti U.S. placards during a rally to condemn the bombing on the Golden Mosque, one of Shiite Islam’s holiest sites in the Iraqi city of Samarra, in Karachi, Pakistan, Sunday, Feb 26, 2006.ASSociated Press: Thousands Protest Drawings in Karachi
About 25,000 people — some chanting “Death to America!” — rallied against the Prophet Muhammad caricatures in Pakistan’s largest city Sunday, but police prevented a rally in the eastern city of Lahore by arresting the religious ringleader and detaining scores of supporters.
And really what does America have to do with the Muhammad Caricatures and their publication? There were only three newspapers in the entire country that published them and the authors (all twelve of them) were from Denmark.
Now, this blog and others, well, we have published them. And many of us are based in America.
Pakistani Shiite Muslim women take part in a rally to condemn the bombing on the Golden Mosque, one of Shiite Islam’s holiest sites in the Iraqi city of Samarra, in Karachi, Pakistan, Sunday, Feb 26, 2006.In Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city and economic hub, where the provincial government has not banned such rallies, protesters also chanted “Down with the blasphemer!” and “End diplomatic ties with European countries!” No violence was reported.
About 25,000 people joined the downtown rally organized by Tahafuz-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwat, a Sunni Muslim religious group, said Shaukat Shah, a Karachi police officer.
The protest was the biggest in the port city since 40,000 rallied there Feb. 16 against the cartoons, which first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September but have been reprinted across Europe since.
Now, why protest America when it was Iraqi Muslim terrorists who destroyed the Golden Mosque in Samarra?
These rallies across Pakistan were organized by the Mullahs and friends of the Taliban who wish “Death to America.”
But, if these Islamo-fascists and Mullahs want a war then……….BRING IT ON!
Chief of Pakistan’s opposition Islamic alliance Qazi Hussain Ahmed (C) addresses supporters in Lahore February 26, 2006. Police fired tear gas to disperse around 100 young Islamists who tried to stage a protest over cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammad on Sunday in defiance of a government ban on such rallies in central Pakistan.In Lahore, clerics, opposition lawmakers and religious school administrators were among 150 people arrested or detained without charge Saturday and Sunday in a bid to thwart the illegal protest, police official Amir Zulfiqar said.
Pakistan banned such rallies in Lahore after several demonstrations turned deadly.
Police blocked all streets leading to a central Lahore mall where the protest was to be held. Some 15,000 policemen and 3,000 paramilitary troops were deployed in the city, guarding major traffic intersections, government buildings, mosques and foreign consulates, Lahore police chief Khawaja Khalid Farooq said.
Qazi Hussain Ahmed, a leader of a coalition of six radical Islamic parties, attempted to lead the rally but was taken away in a police vehicle after trying to break through a barricade, Zulfiqar said.
A Pakistani police officer detains a injured protestor, who along with others were trying to hold a rally to condemn the publication of cartoons depict Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Sunday, Feb. 26, 2006 in Lahore, Pakistan.Meanwhile back in Karachi………
Supporters of a Pakistani religious party take part in a rally to condemn the publication of cartoons depicting the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Sunday, Feb. 26, 2006 in Karachi, Pakistan.
Supporters of a Pakistani religious party burn the Danish flag and effigy of the Prime Minister during a rally to condemn the publication of cartoons depicting the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, Sunday, Feb 26, 2006 in Multan, Pakistan.Protests targeting President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, the United States and the caricatures are scheduled for March 3 — a day before President Bush visits Islamabad.
Why, of course, the Mullahs view President Bush and the United States as impediments to them regaining a religious Muslim fundamentalist theocracy in Pakistan.
Stay tuned……..
Mulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, Secretary-General of the main Islamist alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), speaks during a news conference in Islamabad February 26, 2006. Thousands of Islamists rallied in southern Pakistan on Sunday against cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad, but police quickly snuffed out a protest in Lahore, where two people died in earlier unrest.

Muhammad Caricature Watch: German Court Convicts Man for Insulting Islam
Reuters: German court convicts man for insulting Islam
A German court on Thursday convicted a businessman of insulting Islam by printing the word “Koran” on toilet paper and offering it to mosques.
The 61-year-old man, identified only as Manfred van H., was given a one-year jail sentence, suspended for five years, and ordered to complete 300 hours of community service, a district court in the western German town of Luedinghausen ruled.
As Flap said earlier today……….Was this prosecution to soften Muslim unhappiness in Germany with the publication of the Muhammad Caricatures?
Manfred van H. printed out sheets of toilet paper bearing the word “Koran” shortly after a group of Muslims carried out a series of bomb attacks in London in July 2005. He sent the paper to German television stations, magazines and some 15 mosques.
Prosecutors said that in an accompanying letter Manfred van H. called Islam’s holy book a “cookbook for terrorists.”
He also offered his toilet paper for sale on the Internet at a price of 4 euros ($4.76) per roll, saying the proceeds would go toward a “memorial to all the victims of Islamic terrorism.”
The maximum sentence for insulting religious beliefs under the German criminal code is three years in prison.
A Hate Crime?
BS……..
How about an image from Dr. Rusty Shackleford of a Koran in a toilet?

Muhammad Caricature Watch: The Vatican URGES Islamic Countries to Reciprocate by Showing More Tolerance toward Their Christian Minorities
Pope Benedict XVI during his weekly Wednesday general audience at the Vatican, February 22, 2006.Reuters: Vatican to Muslims: practice what you preach
After backing calls by Muslims for respect for their religion in the Mohammad cartoons row, the
Vatican is now urging Islamic countries to reciprocate by showing more tolerance toward their Christian minorities.Roman Catholic leaders at first said Muslims were right to be outraged when Western newspapers reprinted Danish caricatures of the Prophet, including one with a bomb in his turban. Most Muslims consider any images of Mohammad to be blasphemous.
Well, the Roman Catholic leaders were wrong with their views on freedom of expression and the Muhammad Caricatures but are RIGHT with regards to religious TOLERANCE in many Islamic countries.
The FACTS:
Saudi Arabia bans all public expression of any non-Muslim religion and sometimes arrests Christians even for worshipping privately.
Pakistan allows churches to operate but its Islamic laws effectively deprive Christians of many rights.
Morocco is tolerant of other religions, but like all Muslim countries frowns on conversion from Islam to another faith.
Iraqi Christians say they were well treated under Saddam Hussein’s secular policies, but believers have been killed, churches burned and women forced to wear Muslim garb since Islamic groups gained sway after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
And what the Roman Catholic Church desires is reciprocity……..
Reciprocity — allowing Christian minorities the same rights as Muslims generally have in Western countries, such as building houses of worship or practicing religion freely — is at the heart of Vatican diplomacy toward Muslim states.
Pope Benedict signaled his concern on Monday when he told the new Moroccan ambassador to the Vatican that peace can only be assured by “respect for the religious convictions and practices of others, in a reciprocal way in all societies.”
The Quotes:
“If we tell our people they have no right to offend, we have to tell the others they have no right to destroy us,” Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican’s Secretary of State (prime minister), told journalists in Rome.
“We must always stress our demand for reciprocity in political contacts with authorities in Islamic countries and, even more, in cultural contacts,” Foreign Minister Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo told the daily Corriere della Sera.
“Enough now with this turning the other cheek! It’s our duty to protect ourselves,” Monsignor Velasio De Paolis, secretary of the Vatican’s supreme court, thundered in the daily La Stampa. “The West has had relations with the Arab countries for half a century, mostly for oil, and has not been able to get the slightest concession on human rights,” he said.
Bishop Rino Fisichella, head of one of the Roman universities that train young priests from around the world, told Corriere della Sera the Vatican should speak out more.
“Let’s drop this diplomatic silence,” said the rector of the Pontifical Lateran University. “We should put pressure on international organizations to make the societies and states in majority Muslim countries face up to their responsibilities.”
And did the Islamic community REALLY think that Christians would take the murder of priests lightly – especially over Muhammad Caricatures?

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Malaysia Reprimands Newspaper for Lampoon Muhammad Caricature Cartoon
Reuters: Malaysia slaps newspaper in twist to cartoon row
Malaysia has reprimanded one of its biggest daily newspapers for printing a cartoon lampooning the global controversy over caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad.
The government’s move has fanned a hot debate in this mainly Muslim country about where to draw the line between press freedom and respect of religion, because this time it involves a newspaper closely aligned with mainstream Muslim opinion.
The English-language New Straits Times had defended its right this week to publish the cartoon, which featured a street artist offering “caricatures of Muhammad while you wait.”
But the government, a prominent voice in the Islamic world, felt it crossed the line and its internal security ministry had given the daily three days to explain itself, the New Straits Times said on its front page on Thursday.
“The ministry said the cartoon had breached the conditions of the newspaper’s publishing permit,” the paper said.
“It added that the sketch was inappropriate and could invite negative reactions in the country, especially among Muslims.”
Malaysia, led by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, an Islamic scholar, has banned the Danish newspaper cartoons at the heart of the row and has suspended the publishing licences of two newspapers for publishing some of them.
Everyday Flap is happy he lives in America with the United States Constitution with its Bill of Rights.
Can you imagine an America where newspapers, blogs or websites would be required to have a government “PERMIT?” And if you wrote something said government did not “LIKE” then the government could censure, intimidate, jail or otherwise force you to stop your inappropriate speech.
The offending cartoon published by the New Straits Times on Monday was one of the globally syndicated Non Sequitur series by Wiley Miller. In an editorial on Wednesday, the newspaper responded to complaints about the cartoon, saying the Prophet had not been depicted.
In the editorial, it asked rhetorically whether the complaints were politically motivated to cow the newspaper’s editors. “When the truth gets reported, some get hurt. The powerful ones will seek to protect themselves with whatever means at their disposal,” the editorial said without elaborating.
The controversy is the latest episode in a public spat between the newspaper and elements of the ruling party, which has objected to the New Straits Times’ reporting on sensitive issues of race and religion and its criticism of government policy.
No “FREE” press in Malaysia.
Now……..why has the American MSM for the large part refused to print the Muhammad Caricatures?
The Washington Post has A Failure of the Press
The American MSM has failed. But, the American blogopshere has NOT……..
Stay tuned……

Christopher Hitchens: Cartoon Debate: The case for mocking religion – [T]here is a strong case for saying that the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, and those who have reprinted its efforts out of solidarity, are affirming the right to criticize not merely Islam but religion in general. And the Bush administration has no business at all expressing an opinion on that. If it is to say anything, it is constitutionally obliged to uphold the right and no more. …
Christopher Hitchens: Stand up for Denmark! Why are we not defending our ally? (via Michelle Malkin)
In the name of parody, we’ve taken quite a few liberties with other people’s cartoons. To give credit where credit is due … The cartoon above features four of the original Danish Mohammed cartoons published in Jyllands-Posten. The artists are (left to right): Claus Seidel, Rasmus Sand Høyer, Peder Bundgaard, and KW. For all the Danish Mohammed cartoons, see Mohammed Cartoons.com.
The cartoon pigs are (left to right): Olivia by Ian Falconer, Miss Piggy by Jim Henson, Porky Pig by Warner Bros., and
Freedom of Expression is too important for anyone to intimidate or bluster it away. And the United States has an obligation to guarantee this freedom to its people at home and abroad.
If Flap wants to criticise religion or be criticised for his religious beliefs then so be it. Our freedoms are what the American Founders promised and we will hold our government responsible to protect these freedoms.

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Protesters Rally in Pakistan and Iraq
Iraqis carry placards professing their faith to the Prophet Mohammad during a protest in Kerbala, 110 km (70 miles) south of Baghdad February 21, 2006, against the cartoons and caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammad published in several European newspapers.ASSociated Press: Protesters Rally in Pakistan, Iraq
About 2,000 people chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Denmark” as they rallied in a small town near the Afghan border to protest the Prophet Muhammad cartoons that have sparked violent demonstrations in Muslim countries.
The protesters in Barwand also burned flags of Denmark _ where the caricatures were first printed _ and torched effigies of the Danish prime minister and President Bush.
In Iraq:
About 10,000 people also protested against the cartoons in the southern Iraqi city of Karbala, burning Danish flags and demanding Iraq sever ties with Denmark.
An Iraqi policeman holds a weapon on a police vehicle near residents protesting against cartoons and caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammad, published in several European newspapers, in Kerbala, 110 km (70 miles) south of Baghdad February 21, 2006.Taliban, pro-Al Qaeda demonstrations and Iraqi insurgent inspired demonstrators how original. The intensity of the demonstrations appear to be less today. A different type of protest in Pakistan….
Pakistani police officers sit at a market closed due to strike called by traders unions to protest the publication of cartoons depicting Islamic Prophet Muhammad Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2006 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Shopkeepers shut their doors in a bustling city near Pakistan’s capital to protest the cartoons that have sparked a string of violent demonstrations across the country in the past week.Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said Tuesday the cartoons were an attempt to cause a “clash of civilization” by people who are ignorant about Islam and want to demonize the religion.
“We cannot condone such insensitivities toward our beliefs and condemn it in the strongest way,” he said at an Islamic conference. “Islam does not believe in the clash of civilization, rather it advocates harmony, coexistence, peace and compassion.”
Just outside Pakistan’s capital in Rawalpindi, about five major markets were closed Tuesday as shopkeepers protested the cartoons.
Mushtaq Ali Shah, senior vice president of Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which helped organize the strike, said a rally wasn’t being held because the businesses didn’t want the protest to turn into a riot that damages property.
Probably a smart move about the rally……but why destroy your own people’s property?
MORONIC……but DEADLY SERIOUS…….

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Christian Anti-Muslim Riot in Nigeria Turns Deadly
People stand around the Kingdom Heritage School Sunday, Feb. 19, 2006, at the city of Maiduguri, Nigeria, after it was damaged during protests on Saturday. Thousands of Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 15 people, police and residents said.ASSociated Press: Anti-Muslim Riot in Nigeria Turns Deadly
Christian mobs rampaged through a southern Nigerian city Tuesday, burning mosques and killing several people in an outbreak of anti-Muslim violence that followed deadly protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad over the weekend.
Residents and witnesses in the southern, predominantly Christian city of Onitsha said several Muslims with origins in the north were beaten to death by mobs which also burned two mosques there.
“The mosque at the main market has been burnt and I’ve counted at least six dead bodies on the streets,” Izzy Uzor, an Onitsha resident and businessman, told The Associated Press by telephone. “The whole town is in a frenzy and people are running in all directions.”
The violence appeared to be in reprisal for anti-Christian violence Saturday in the mostly Muslim northern city of Maiduguri in which thousands of Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches, killing at least 18 people.
An unidentified man walks near to a church that was burnt during violent protests yesterday at the city of Maiduguri, Nigeria, Sunday, Feb. 19, 2006.The violence has to STOP.
But, did the fanatical Muslim organizers of the Muhammad Caricature protests really think that the WEST was ONLY going to take it ?
Stay tuned…..
