Free speech is breaking out all over. Now Die Welt (thanks to Null) has reprinted some of the cartoons (click on "Der Bilderstreit um Mohammed" on the upper right to see them) that have sparked international cartoon rage. Another German publication, Der Spiegel (thanks to Null again), explains:
The conservative paper Die Welt demonstratively reprints the cartoons, asking "Is it possible to satirize Islam? How much humor is compatible with the religion of Islam, this metaphysics of world conquest by an early medieval robber prince, who with his caravan army created a great empire on the basis of polygamy and a strict code of honor?" While the paper agrees that there is a certain "threshold of shame" in regard to the satirization of religion, "The standard of measure set by the Muslims nonetheless is a challenge for an open society." Die Welt also regrets what it regards as the Danish capitulation to the pressure, and goes on to defend the "right to blasphemy" against calls not to "provoke religious minorities."
Now we're talking, the cartoon wars!

Bomb our subways? We will try to understand.
Kill civilians? We will try to see it as a legitimate struggle.

Now it gets interesting. It also means the whole EU will be brought into the economic jihad--let's see those Kuwaitis give up their BMWs and Mercedes in protest!
Where it also gets interesting is that the Germans are due to go into Afghanistan as part of the NATO force soon. To do what Die Welt has done, while Germans are held hostage in Iraq and others are preparing to "occupy" Islamic territory, is pretty ballsy, and will be called reckless by many. Let's see if Merkel can hold her ground as well as Rasmussen.
Tough pounding, gentlemen. Let's see who pounds longest.
At last some support for the poor danish and rightly so, but now what happens?
will the 'moderate' muslims now expand their calls for boycotts and bloodshed against every country involved
actually i hope so because of anything it would slap down the wests leaderships 'its all ok they are all peaceful' attitude and lies
this is surely the start of the unveiling of islam to all who now need to stand eye's wide open
democracy and freedom cannot live side by side with it, and now the press, those bastions of defence are under attack from those they sought to protect
watch this space, it begins and of all things to start it, i'd have never thought a cartoon was the spark to the defence
even the dhimmi "islam is peace" bbc cant avoid it - its the lead story on the international version of its news site:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
This is wonderful!!!
So, some Europeans actually have spines!!
Are these printed in any American newspapers?
"Ich bin ein Berliner!" indeed!
Cartoons mit uns!
Let a thousand caricatures bloom!
(Now all we need are the neo-Nazis out marching in protest of this and in defense of their natural allies the Imperialistic Islamicists.)
Hello everybody
Just signed in - glad to see the general sympahty you have for Denmark right now (my own country). Many Danes have a strong feeling of beeing alone these days! Todays sympathy from many european papers are really cool! Lets see if the muslim masses will boycut the whole of Europe, or if they will ignore it and just maintain the focus on my tiny non important country... My thougts goes out to the danish troops in Iraq who must really go through hell right now. I spend my day trying to convince muslims (over the net) that the danish people in general are friendly and tolerant which resulted in numerous threats from extremly intolerant muslims! Im getting sick of it - keep up a brave stance! Best wishes from Denmark
seymour - you are witnessing the culmination of a major sea change in attitudes towards Islam amongst Europeans.
9/11 got us a bit worried, then we had Madrid and then London. ok, we dismissed that an "al qaeda" attack.
But when Theo Van Gogh was murdered by an islamist , for just making a film, i think that's when it really *really* started to change.
Demark we are with you all the way, no more feelings of 'being alone' in this
ok anybody want to take these pictures and put them onto a badge??????
maybe with the words free Demark, free speech
because i'd buy them in bulk and pass them across to everybody in Britain i know
we will never surrender
What I would like to know is who's stupid idea was it to keep the pot stirred on these cartoons? What was their purpose? What did they hope to gain? These are the questions I have on the subject.
Muslims are now in the position of either having to call for boycotts of the other nations that have printed the cartoons, doing something really drastic and stupid or just shutting up and pretending the whole thing didn't happen.
Oh my God in Heaven. I'm dizzy from the overdose of FREEDOM going forth across the globe. The free World is on fire with freedom.
Deal with it Islamofeces, Deal with it!!!!
Wow! Hail the fatherland!
Die Welt put that on the frontpage, no less.
(The French buried it inside the pages...)
"What I would like to know is who's stupid idea was it to keep the pot stirred on these cartoons? What was their purpose? What did they hope to gain? These are the questions I have on the subject."
it kicked off at Friday prayers in Saudi Arabia (and i think Qatar as well) - it was very well co-ordinated. the religious policeman has the details on it
http://muttawa.blogspot.com
and boy has it blown back in their faces.
Damn! Now I'm going to have to buy a Porsche!
I'm delighted that the Mohammed cartoons are being reprinted, my hope is that the cartoons are eventually shown all over the world.How many more countries will Muslims boycott? Will they now boycott all western medicine, education and technology? Will there be a mass movement of Muslims back to the ME? One can always hope.
From Switzerland
A German language newspaper in Switzerland published two cartoons on Tuesday.
I presume those cartoons.

The world's biggest maker of insulin, Novo Nordisk, said it was also hit as pharmacies and hospitals in Saudi Arabia have avoided its products since Saturday.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=375814&in_page_id=1811&in_a_source=reuters&ito=1490
Novo Nordisk should now retaliate by not supplying them with insulin when the hospitals run out.
This is just a start. The muslim world has been flexing its puny muscles against a small country. If they want an economic boycott lets see who blinks first
-------------------------------------------
The muslim world gets inflamed for the tiniest reason. The cartoon affair is just a further manifestation of this.
There is a purpose to this. By getting inflamed for ever tinier reasons, muslims set the bar so high that no criticism of islam can take place at all. And that is the real reason why the imams organised this furore.
The damned muslims can't boycott the world; they are dependent on the rest of the world for EVERYTHING, from food to a skilled work force. Saudi ARabia would collapse if all the foreign workers walked out tomorrow and they would starve if they did not buy food from abroad. Their hospitals would have no supplies, no medicines, no equipment and no staff if not for foreign goods and workers. They threaten us with oil embargoes, why can't we threaten them with food, personnel, medical supplies, etc. embargoes? Imagine what would happen if the entire world "boycotted" Saudi Arabia by refusing to supply it with all of life's necessities.
I almost hope the muslims go berserk throughout Europe; at least people could quit whispering about the Islamic problem and demand that their goverments do something.
Immigration is a good thing, unless the immigrants are 3rd world DEVOUT Moslems. I myself have immigrated to Sweden (beautiful country, beautiful people, kind people – but like that rest of the West, ignorant about Islam).
In the West, we assume that if an immigrant comes to our country that they will try to assimilate into our culture and accept our values. This is generally true of all immigrants except devout Moslems. They have been so brainwashed by their religion that they cannot accept a non-moslem culture. Please note that I am talking about the DEVOUT MOSLEMS. I am not talking about the Moslems who were only Moslem for fear of being put to death. They were religious prisoners in their old countries! Usually when they get to the West, they find the courage to leave Islam!
The good people (countries) of the West bring these devout Moslems in not knowing the truth behind Islam. Islam IS a religion of TERROR! It has been from the start!
I started learning about Islam after one of them murdered my mother by crashing a plane back on Oct 31, 1999. What I have learned is MIND BLOWING to say the least.
Before my mother’s murder, I believed what I HEARD about Islam. That it is a religion of PEACE and that they worship the same God that the Jews and the Christians worship. The people of the West and their governments also believe this and therefore believe that the Moslems should be able to become good immigrants.
I now know I was given INCORRECT information by UNINFORMED people regarding the Islamic religion. Here is what I have learned. As far as what I am about to say, don’t just take my word as the truth, study about “their prophet” and how their religion grew for yourself and you too will know the truth. You will soon understand that the God THEY worship is NOT the God we worship!
Now please understand that what I am about to say is purely a western viewpoint because the Moslems see it entirely different. What I have learned is that Mohammed was a murdering, sadistic, raping, thieving, lying, slave trading, warmongering, pedophile, who had no problem assassinating anyone who spoke up against him or against “HIS” religion. These ARE documented historical facts; find them yourself!
In short - Mohammed and his band of followers started out by ROBBING the caravans that traveled the desert. He KILLED the caravan people if they tried to defend themselves and sometimes even when they did not try to defend themselves, and he then took their loot for himself and his followers.
He would attack the villages around him and kill off the men, take the women and children as SLAVES for himself and his followers and of course he would take their possessions. Any female slaves he desired were then RAPED. The historical records talk about him desiring a married woman of a family of UNBELIEVERS, so he killed her husband and raped her that night! It is in THEIR book!
Even though he had numerous wives and many slave girls, one day he saw his adapted son’s wife in some state of undress and suddenly had an urge for her. He told his son to divorce the woman so that he could have her. The son complied and Mohammed took her. (In the West, we WOULD NOT consider this to be a MORAL man!)
One wife he married when she was 6 years old. This is OK because there were many child marriages back then but there was NO sex until the girl well past the onset of puberty and so was 11 to 16 years old. In the West Mohammed would be defined as a PEDOPHILE because he strongly desired sex with this child bride. Finally when she was 9 years old, he had sex with her. It is written that at that moment she was playing dolls with her friends when the women came to take her to Mohammed. – Draw your own conclusions.
There are also stories of very SADISTIC acts carried out by Mohammed. For example, some man who committed some crime and when he refused to “repent” Mohammed cut off an arm and a leg. Day(s) later, the man still refused to repent and the prophet cut off his other arm and leg. Day(s) later the last refusal to repent lead to the burning out of the eyes, cutting out his tongue and dragging him out into the desert to die with the warning that anyone who tried to help this man would suffer the same fate. To which the Moslem “HOLY” book exclaims “Mohammed, the Merciful, the Just!” In the West we consider this to be SADISTIC!
FINALLY --- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! Anybody who SPOKE AGAINST Mohammed was put to DEATH ! Anyone who SPOKE AGAINST ISLAM, was put to DEATH ! Anyone WHO LEFT ISLAM, was put to DEATH !
There is the story of 2 unrelated people, from the village that took the Mohammedans in when they were just starting out, who were shocked by what Mohammed and his followers were doing. They each wrote some kind of poem that painted Mohammed in a less than favorable light. The man was ASSASINATED in his sleep and likewise the woman was ASSASINATED in her sleep as well as her ENTIRE FAMILY!
The reason why this is so IMPORTANT is that, with ANYONE who spoke out against Mohammed or Islam, or even who left Islam once they had converted to Islam (or was born into Islam) being put to DEATH -- NO ONE SPOKE OUT ! NO ONE QUESTIONED ISLAM AND NO ONE TRIED TO LEAVE ISLAM !
People converted to Islam out of FEAR because people who were Moslem could not be killed by Mohammed’s army! They could NOT be made into slaves (only unbelievers could be slaves)! They could keep their property and they would have the protection of Mohammed’s army against the unbelievers. Covet thy unbelieving neighbor’s property – it is yours for the taking!
The Moslems excuse the killing, robbing and enslaving because he was waging God’s War against the nonbelievers! The Moslems say that if a woman is your slave, it is NOT rape when you have sex with her because you own her and she has no say in the matter. They say he was not a pedophile because the 9 year old was his wife. The Moslems ignore the other transgressions of Mohammed because AS God’s Prophet, there was ONE SET OF RULES that applied to Mohammed and ANOTHER SET of rules that applied to the rest of Islam.
The Moslems have been so indoctrinated that after 1,400 years, they truly believe BADMOUTHING Islam by ANYONE deserves death! They do not and cannot understand a FREE society.
Islam spread through war and rape. After Mohammed died, the various tribes started to leave Islam. The Mohammedan Army put a quick stop to that by killing the apostates. The Mohammedan Armies continued to wage war and Islam spread. The stories of how the holy warriors would move into an area, slaughter the men and place the women into harems are again – historical fact! Make a lot of babies with these women and soon Islam is the law of the land without question.
After the Islamists entered the Christian lands, the Christians fought back and stopped the Islamic advance into the West. And IN A COMPLETE REWRITING OF HISTORY, it is the Moslems who claim it was the Christians who attacked and waged a crusade against Islam! The Moslem wars against India saw incredible CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY waged against the Indian people! Historical FACT – just find it for yourself.
Christianity did not spread through war. Buddhism did not spread through war. Zoroasterism did not spread through war. Only Islam spread through war.
There is SO much more to this story, you need to find it and understand it for yourself. I believe that once the truth is known, Islam will be exposed for the terroristic religion it truly is! I know people here who were Moslem, who came to the West and when they found out the truth about their religion of “PEACE”, promptly left it knowing that they would not be put to death in the free countries of the West (although in reality, some have been murdered here for leaving Islam).
--An Unbeliever who now faces the death penalty for speaking the truth of Islam!
