Muhammad Cartoons Censored

veK · February 14, 2006

omg those morons now are also protesting against a cartoon which was published in a german newspaper on friday. but the clue is: it has nothing to do with muhammed. it expresses a domestic matter about the topic if the german military should be included for safety at the fifa worldcup 2006. it shows suicide bombers on the left side and soldiers on the right side. here's the cartoon: http://www.persianfootball.com/news/images/060210_Bundeswehr_stutt.jpg

the text says roughly: "why the german federal armed forces have to be deployed at the worldcup".

now those idiots are threatening the author and his life and want an apology from the newspaper and so on. cartoons like this are very common in german newspapers. I don't know how many of them but there are at least 7-15 big or local newspapers which publish political cartoons to whatever topic is currently discussed every day.

I don't want to abandon those cartoons whenever they show something that could possibly maybe somehow affect islam or muslim countries... no way. the if this goes on like this, I'll be getting very angry myself and so will a lot of other people.

lowzeewee · February 14, 2006

A pretty insensitive cartoon if you ask me. The depiction of the four suicide bombers, are of Arabs... This whole saga is becoming pretty comical to me.

veK · February 14, 2006

of course they are arabs. who else is suicidal-bombing? haven't seen the ira or eta do some attacks lately.

iran now claims these 4 souls were ment to be from iran by the cartoonist :O

Dunenewt · February 14, 2006

Simple answer, ban Iran from FIFA, and let another team take their place in the World Cup, although its not like Iran were going to get past the group stage anyway.

Lets just slip the funds to the Isreali's and have them watch it, bet they would do a better job then any other country. Mossad being the top inteligence angency in the world and all...

Dunenewt · February 14, 2006

No, that's a stupid suggest because then it would look like Germany is doing nothing against the Islamists.

Phoenix · February 14, 2006

Yesterday something weird came to my ears..

I heard someone saying that those cartoons were published in semtember last year.

and NOW they are freaking out there...

But that doesn't change my point of view.

I still think its not correct.

It occured to me during a lecture today, anyone seen that Gary Larson cartoon with Mohammed? It's one of my favourites. For those that do not know: A man with a long beard is sitting inside his house with a newspaper open in front of him, while outside we see a huge lump of rock and earth pushing against his door. The doorbell is going 'ding dong.' The man is looking up at the door. As far as I remember, the caption reads something like "The doorbell rung again. With his wife out of town and not expecting any visitors, Mohammed began to grow uneasy." For the dimmer people, this is a play on the 'if you can't bring Mohammed to the mountain...' phrase. I think it's very funny.

It shows that not only has the prophet been in illustrations for several centuries, but also recently without stirring up this kind of complaint. I would have linked to the cartoon, but the publishers and the artist have forbidden his work to be put online.

(This is turn reminds me of a computer game. A small boy called Nigel is desperate to go home, but for reasons that I don't need to explain, can't or shouldn't.

NIGEL: I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home!

SCHMARTY: This is a disaster! He wants to go home!

PINK: If you can't bring Mohammed to the mountain...

SCHMARTY: Can't we worry about Mohammed after we've taken care of Nigel?

Heh heh... )

Religion of Peace Strikes again by: burning buildings housing a hotel, banks and a KFC, vandalizing a Citibank and breaking windows at a Holiday Inn and a Pizza Hut

Here's the rules for the cartoon contest Iran is holding. I expect you all to send in submissions! Think of the hilarity if a non Muslim won the contest, who is making fun of their own beliefs.

EDIT:

Printing cartoons puts Cdn. troops in danger: Muslim group

So now Muslims are inciting fear into us because of printing a cartoon.

The problem isn't a cartoon, the problem is with Muslims threatening others.

Muslims are now using terrorists as an excuse to push their agenda. (Don't print the cartoons or else your troops will be killed!)

At first it was about respecting their prophet and religion, but since that didn't seem to work, they are now resorting to fear to stop the publications.

I was thinking of respecting their religion, but since they don't seem to respect others, why bother?

I don't want a RELIGION telling me what I can or cannot do.

Also the Muslim students at a Halifax university are thinking of filing a human rights complaint against the professor.

Andrew · February 15, 2006

Something for Muslims to get angry over! for real.

More Abu Ghraib pictures are being released.

I personally liked the blood covered floor one.

Torture of Muslims > prophet cartoon ?

I'm gonna take "No big riots over the pictures" for $200.

Kiyouta · February 15, 2006

Doesn't look like torture to me. Just shows a dog, perhaps, barking at an inmate. Big deal.

Also, the infamous 'British soldiers beating kids' incident...

http://astream.com/links/notw/together_300.ram

Again, why they are beating up kids, I have no idea, but they are hardly maiming them... :-

veK · February 15, 2006

read the text kiyouta:

"Tonight the SBS Dateline program plans to broadcast about 60 previously unpublished photographs that the US Government has been fighting to keep secret in a court case with the American Civil Liberties Union."

Also there is a link to an image gallery with 15 more pictures...

erjin999 · February 15, 2006

And knowing what happened last time, the pictures from before, if these were unshown before, and SBS finds a reason to show them now, and some representitive of America is denouncing the decision to show them, I think it would be a little more then a dog barking at an inmate ::)

this is true - they were even printed in Egyptian newspapers last year I think in November as well. Those who imo are to blame are the Imam's who've traveled the midle east spreading false rumors.

If they hate democracy and freedom, they should move to Saudi Arabia or Iran, I'm fed up spending my tax money on them!

Andrew · February 17, 2006

Peaceful Muslim protestors at it again: Torch Italian consulate

So are they torching any foreign building they find nowadays, not knowing why they are doing it?

Kiyouta · February 17, 2006

Interesting that no British or American embassy has been attacked yet, and they are the key players in the Iraq War. That, taking into consideration the attacks seem to be pretty much indiscriminate of actual involvement with the cartoon publishers.

Dante · February 17, 2006

As far as I know, no British paper has published the insulting images. ...And you'd have to be a damned fool to attack an American embassy right now.

veK · February 17, 2006

they shouldn't wonder if everybody hates them soon. and why nobody in germany wants them at the world cup 2006.

hatred against islam is growing all over the world and if the muslims don't stop it will soon look like this:

Acriku · February 18, 2006

Seems like a downward spiral of perception for Islam, epitomized by muslims threatening the world with terrorism until they agree that Islam is a peaceful religion.

???

nemafakei · February 18, 2006

"As far as I know, no British paper has published the insulting images. ...And you'd have to be a damned fool to attack an American embassy right now."

A Welsh student newspaper did, but later recalled copies and apologised.

Edric O · February 18, 2006

This thing is being blown out of all proportion.

It has become rather obvious that the cartoons themselves serve as little more than a pretext. What is actually going on is that Muslims are growing increasingly frustrated with their condition (social, cultural, financial, what have you) and they are lashing out semi-randomly at scape goats.

It's not even about religion. Islam itself has become an excuse - on both sides.

Andrew · February 18, 2006

Religion of peace able to come up wth $1 million reward for the death of the cartoonists

Now that's a lot of terrorist funding! (Why aren't their assets being froze??)

Look at how they tolerate women:

This is the first time I'm actually hoping that the USA will just nuke the whole Middle East.
