Muhammad Caricature Watch: Pakistani Cleric Offers Money and Car for Anyone who kills the Danish Cartoonist Who Drew Prophet Muhammad – Now $ 1 Million
A Pakistani police officer arrest a protester who is condeming the publication of cartoons of Islamic Prophet Muhammad, in Karachi, Pakistan, Friday, Feb 17, 2006. A Pakistani cleric on Friday announced a US$1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew Prophet Muhammad, as thousands joined street rallies across the country and authorities arrested scores of protesters.
Associated Press: Cleric: $1 Million to Kill Cartoonist
A Pakistani cleric announced Friday a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew Prophet Muhammad, as thousands joined street protests and Denmark temporarily closed its embassy and advised its citizens to leave the country.
Police confined the former leader of an Islamic militant group to his home to prevent him from addressing supporters over the cartoons, amid fears he could incite violence, after riots this week killed five people.
Security forces were out in strength, particularly around government offices and Western businesses, as Muslims streamed onto the streets after Friday prayers. More than 200 people were detained, but most gatherings were peaceful.
In neighboring India, police used batons and tear gas to disperse thousands of angry worshippers who rioted in the southern city of Hyderabad. They burned Danish flags, pelted police with stones, and looted shops. Hundreds more protested in Bangladesh.
The stakes rise for the Muhammad Caricatures. What Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said last week is coming to fruition…… the situation is “spinning out of control”.
In the northwestern Pakistan city of Peshawar, prayer leader Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi announced the bounty for killing a cartoonist to about 1,000 people outside the Mohabat Khan mosque.
Qureshi said the mosque and his religious school would give $25,000 and a car, while a local jewelers’ association would give another $1 million. No representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer.
“This is a unanimous decision by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize,” Qureshi said.
Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement. He did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures.
Does this mean $ 12 million total?
Doubtful……..
Denmark announced it had temporarily closed its embassy in Pakistan. It also advised against all travel to Pakistan and urged Danes still in the country to leave.
“We have decided to do so because of the general security situation in the country,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lars Thuesen said.
Denmark has already temporarily closed its embassies in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Indonesia after anti-Danish protests and threats against staff.
Pakistan, meanwhile, recalled its ambassador to Denmark for “consultations” about the cartoons, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
And the diplomatic wars are “spinning out of contrtol” as well……
Stay tuned…….

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Pakistani Cleric Offers Money and Car for Anyone who kills the Danish Cartoonist Who Drew Prophet Muhammad
Paramilitary forces guard a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Lahore, Pakistan, as demonstrations over cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad continue to fan anti-Western sentiment.
CBS/AP: Cleric Offers Money To Kill Cartoonist
A Pakistani cleric offered a 1.5 million rupee reward and a car for anyone who kills the Danish cartoonist who drew Prophet Muhammad, while another Islamist leader was put under house detention, amid fears of more deadly demonstrations Friday, officials said.
Protests sparked by the Muhammad caricature continue in numerous cities around the globe. In Pakistan, thousands of security forces have been deployed to prevent unrest.
Police have arrested 125 protesters for violating a ban on rallies in eastern Pakistan and arrested 30 others after firing tear gas to disperse a protest in the southern city of Karachi.
More unrest in Pakistan and Bill Clinton is in town to see President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi, prayer leader at the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar, announced at the mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia religious school that he leads would give a 1.5 million rupee reward and a car for killing the cartoonist of the Prophet pictures that appeared first in a Danish newspaper in September.
Police were ordered to restrict the movement of all religious leaders who might address any rallies and round up religious activists “who could be any threat to law and order,” a senior police official said in the main eastern city of Lahore.
Now, are these restrictions without a court order or a warrant……..?
Imagine if the FBI attempted to restrict the movements of Jesse Jackson or Joseph Lowery……
In Islamabad, there were about 7,000 protesters Friday, while about 5,000 others took to the streets chanting slogans in the city of Quetta.
In Multan, about 300 police swooped down on 125 protesters who had gathered Friday morning at a traffic circle, chanting, “We are slaves of the prophet,” and trampling on a Danish flag, said Sharif Zafar, a police official.
Protesters shouted “Death to Musharraf” as they were bundled into two police buses, referring to Pakistan’s leader, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who the Bush administration has called a strong ally in the war on terror.
So, the protests continue, Musharraf cracks down on the unrestand Mullahs and former President Clinton shows up to buttress Musharraf. Both know that the protest have nothing to do with the Muhammad Caricatures but everything to do with the desire of Pakistani Mullahs to take control of the Pakistani government.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, left, meets with Pakistan’s President Gen. Pervez Musharraf at President House in Islamabad, Pakistan, Friday, Feb. 17, 2006. Clinton criticized cartoons of Islamic Prophet Muhammad, but he said Muslims wasted the opportunity to build better ties with the west by holding violent protests against the drawings.
The crackdown follows violent protests in Pakistan this week in which five people died and Western businesses were vandalized and burned. Thousands of security forces were deployed Friday in major cities, also including Rawalpindi, Quetta and Peshawar, in anticipation of more rallies.
Clerics at mosques across the country condemned the cartoons.
“Oh God, please punish those who dared to publish these sacrilegious cartoons … Give enough power to the Muslim countries and enable them to take revenge,” said Qari Saeed Ullah, a prayer leader in Islamabad.

Muhmmad Caricature Watch: The Indonesian Comments
This morning Flap received these two comments which he held in moderation until a translation was obtained. Thanks I for the translation.
Hukum yang seberat beratnya pembuat kartun nabi muhammad, untuk umat muslim se dunia
“All the Muslims in the world should impose a harsh penalty on those who created the Prophet Mohammed cartoons.”
Bunuh pembuat katun nabi muhammad, agar umat muslim didunia ini damai
“Kill the one who created these cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed so people around the world will believe in peace.”
Death threats are NOT rationale with regards to the Muhammad Caricatures.
And folks wonder why there is such a FLAP…….hummmmmmmmmm

Muhammad Caricature Watch: “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.”
Persian sign of ‘Danish pastries’ right, and ‘Roses of Prophet Mohammad’ are seen in a bakers in Tehran Thursday Feb. 16, 2006. Iran is taking the fight against cartoons considered blasphamous by Muslims to a new ground: Renaming ‘Danish pastries’ into ‘Roses of Prophet Mohammad’ in the country of cake lovers.
ASSociated Press: Iran Renames Danish Pastries
Iranians love Danish pastries, but when they look for the flaky dessert at the bakery they now have to ask for “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.”
Bakeries across the capital were covering up their ads for Danish pastries Thursday after the confectioners’ union ordered the name change in retaliation for caricatures of the Muslim prophet published in a Danish newspaper.
“Given the insults by Danish newspapers against the prophet, as of now the name of Danish pastries will give way to ‘Rose of Muhammad’ pastries,” the union said in its order.
“This is a punishment for those who started misusing freedom of expression to insult the sanctities of Islam,” said Ahmad Mahmoudi, a cake shop owner in northern Tehran.

This image is from video made available Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006 by the Special Broadcasting System in Australia is said by the broadcaster to show a prisoner bent forwards towards a seated man wearing a combat-style uniform. The Australian television network said the images of prisoners were made at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad in late 2003, and were among photographs the American Civil Liberties Union was trying to obtain from the U.S. government under a Freedom of Information request. SBS refused to give details on the source of the photographs, and the authenticity of the images could not be verified independently.
Washington Post: Australian TV Network Airs More Abu Ghraib Photos
An Australian television channel today broadcast more photographs of abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad. The graphic images, which included naked, blood-soaked prisoners, were quickly picked up by Arabic television stations and Web sites around the world.
The abuse pictures were similar to or the same as the now-infamous images that came out in April 2004, sparking public outrage, a congressional investigation and the military trials of several U.S. soldiers. But their release could be significant because it comes at a time of already heightened tension between Muslim nations and the West over European newspaper cartoons satirizing the prophet Muhammad.
So, let’s look at the coverage of the newly released (but a few years old) Abu Ghraib prison photos and the Muhammad Caricatures.

Images obtained by The Washington Post reveal more about the treatment of Iraqi prisoners.

Muhammad Caricature
This handout photo from SBS TV allegedly shows a hooded and bound prisoner being attacked by a dog in Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib jail supposedly during interrogation by US soldiers in Baghdad in 2004. The Pentagon has confirmed the authenticity of a set of photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib that were aired for the first time by Australian television, a defense official said.
Now, let’s look at the Washington Posts’ statement of the Muhammad Caricatures which they have NOT published.
From the Editor and Publisher:
“They wouldn’t meet our standards for what we publish in the paper,” said Leonard Downie, Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, which ran a front-page story on the issue Friday, but has not published the cartoons. “We have standards about language, religious sensitivity, racial sensitivity and general good taste.”
Downie, who said the images also had not been placed on the Post Web site, compared the decision to similar choices not to run offensive photos of dead bodies or offensive language. “We described them,” he said of such images. “Just like in the case of covering the hurricanes in New Orleans or terrorist attacks in Iraq. We will describe horrific scenes.”
Hypocritical treatment of the Muhammad Caricatures?
Different publishing standards?
You betcha……..
Muhammad Caricature
This handout image from Australian public broadcaster SBS TV allegedly shows a prisoner in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison being displayed by US soldiers with his throat cut in Baghdad in 2004. SBS has shown what it said were previously unpublished photographs of the abuse of prisoners by US soldiers in Abu Ghraib.
The MSM are all over the “NEWLY RELEASED” (but not new) Abu Ghraib prison photos from a couple of years ago.
From Reuters: New graphic Abu Ghraib images
Yet, the Muhammad Caricatures have ONLY been published in the blogosphere and a couple of MSM newspapers?

Muhammad Caricature Watch: The FLAP Over Publication of Muhammad Caricatures on the Internet
Michelle Malkin: THE ISLAMISTS’ WAR ON THE INTERNET
Last Tuesday, during or immediately after my appearance on Fox News Channel to discuss the Mohammed Cartoons, this blog was hit by a large, foreign-based denial of service attack. Last night, my hosting service notified me that it is receiving ongoing threats from individuals vowing to take down this site–and others along with it–which will presumably continue until I take down the cartoons. For now, we are on guard and continuing with business as usual. But you should know there’s something much wider and deeper going on:
I. Security Pro News reports on the latest Islamist hacker attacks spurred by Cartoon Jihad.
This blog has also published the Muhammad Caricatures and has NOT received notice of a denial of service attack – YET. Flap has an alternate Blog where I can transfer posts should this site ever be attacked and taken down.
The attacks are coming from all over; last week, a Tampa, Fla.-based hosting company took down a hacking site that had targeted the Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that originally published the 12 Mohammed Cartoons.
II. ISN notes the growth of the “virtual jihad community:”
III. Andrew Cochran at The Counterterrorism Blog reports on Muslim cyberterrorist hacking of American websites, and posts one reader’s thoughts on where this is headed:
The outstanding question is law enforcement response to Islamist “hack-tivists” defacing or otherwise compromising non-critical websites. Again, considered in isolation, defacing a women’s motorcycle club website for a day or two is an aggravation but not a threat to society. Considered in aggregate, however, defacing and compromising thousands of webpages is a dangerous pattern, a sure sign of probes preliminary to a coordinated attack of potentially massive proportions.
Other blogs have been attacked as well…….
Via LGF, I learned that my favorite photoblog, zombietime, has been attacked as well:
I have been seriously targetted too. Had a DDOS attack from Turkey. Just in the last hour I’ve been reverse-spammed with dozens of viruses from these email domain addresses:
smtp2.ste.net.sy
alesta.sbs.com.tr
easynet.co.uk
touchtelindia.netLooks like they’re coming from Syria, Turkey, Britain and India today (all countries with large populations of Muslims).
Every day the attacks come from new countries: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, UAE, etc.
It’s craziness.
So, stay tuned……..

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Tens of Thousands Take to the Street in Pakistan – 3 Killed
Pakistani police officers remove the burning debris from outside U.S. fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurant, which was damaged by angry mob during a protest against the publication of cartoons depicting Islamic prophet Muhammad, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006 in Peshawar, Pakistan. Protesters burned the KFC restaurant and movie theaters in Pakistan’s biggest protest yet against the Prophet Muhammad cartoons, the third straight day of violent demonstrations in the Islamic nation. Three died and dozens were injured in protests in two cities Wednesday, police and witnesses said.
ASSocaited Press: Cartoon Protests in Pakistan Leave 3 Dead
Gunfire and rioting erupted Wednesday as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in several Pakistani cities during the country’s third consecutive day of violent protests over the Prophet Muhammad cartoons. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy.
More than 70,000 people flooded the streets of the northwestern city of Peshawar, said Saeed Wazir, a senior police officer. The massive crowd went on a rampage, torching businesses and fighting police, who struck back with tear gas and batons. A bus terminal operated by
South Korea’s Sammi Corp. was torched, police said.Protesters burned a KFC restaurant, three movie theaters and the offices of the main mobile phone company in the country. A Norwegian mobile phone company’s offices were also ransacked. Gunfire was heard near the burning KFC, as police tried to clear people from a main street, witnesses said.
An 8-year-old boy died after being struck in the face by a bullet fired by a protester, police officer Shahid Khan said. A 25-year-old man was killed by an electric cable that was snapped by gunfire, said the man’s cousin, Jehangir Khan.
At least 45 people were being treated for injuries in Peshawar’s two state-run hospitals, Khan and witnesses said.

Of course, this is an oirganized attempt by Al Qaeda and other radical Islamofascists to undermine the pro-Western government of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
But, the government needs to immediately quell the violence and NOT let it linger and fester like Jacques Chirac did earlier in the French riots.
Hundreds of Afghan refugees joined the protest in Peshawar, the capital of the conservative North West Frontier Province. Many chanted “Death to Denmark!” and “Hang those who drew the insulting cartoons!” Others burned Danish flags and effigies of the Danish prime minister.
Rioting also broke out Wednesday in the northwestern town of Tank, near the South Waziristan tribal region where security officials have said al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters are hiding. Protesters set fire to 30 shops selling CDs, DVDs, and videos, said Attiq Wazir, a local police official. Suspected Islamic militants had warned music shops to close, witnesses said.
One policeman was injured when a protester opened fire to resist arrest.
In the eastern city of Lahore, fighting flared up for the second straight day. A 30-year-old man was shot dead in a clash with police as about 1,500 students staged a rally outside a university, hospital and police officials said.
Will President Musharraf have the ability to calm the Mullah inspired/incited masses?
Stay tuned…….
