More peace and tolerance from the notorious former British jihad leader. But since when does Islamic apply to non-Muslims in a non-Islamic state? That, my friends, is the key issue in this entire controversy. This is an attempt to get the West to accept Islamic legal strictures regarding how non-Muslim dhimmis may speak of Islam. "Cleric calls on Mohammed cartoonist to be executed," from the Telegraph, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical Muslim cleric, has said the cartoonist behind caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that have sparked outrage across the Arab world should be tried and executed under Islamic law.The cleric said the cartoonist had insulted Islam and must pay the price, as three people were killed during protests against the cartoons in Afghanistan.
"The insult has been established now by everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim, and everybody condemns the cartoonist and condemns the cartoon," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"However, in Islam, God said, and the messenger Mohammed said, whoever insults a prophet, he must be punished and executed.
"This man should be put on trial and if it is proven to be executed."
Well done BBC to give this maggot the opportunity to carry on spouting the policies of the religion of peace. Keep saying it, the louder the better so more people can hear and keep hearing the truth.
Spoken like a true believer in the death cult. Kill! kill! kill!
message to Mossad - can you kindly bump this guy off? he's only up the road - in Lebanon.
thank you,
The British public.
Bakri states:
"...........and everybody condemns the cartoonist and condemns the cartoon..."
I don't Omar. I don't.
boxter -> i dont recall Richard Dawkins receiving death threats from the Christian Evangelicals, for his condemnation of creationism. Not even from the most "extreme" wing of Christian fundementalism. (well , extreme to me , as an atheist)
sure, the debate is heated at times - but no violence, or threats of violence. therein lies the big difference.
Just sent the following complaint to the BBC
___
Regarding the following page
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4694876.stm
Your page mentions that three extra cartoons were sent to Danish Muslims as part of a hate campaign. Well, this page
http://www.neandernews.com/?p=54
proves that the Danish Muslim leaders that campaigned the Middle East to - let's put it in mild terms - 'present their case', clearly FAKED at least one cartoon. See the link provided for further details. On a diferent level, the blogger Egyptian Sadmonkey (a truly moderate Muslim that is not afraid to criticize extremism), found out that the Danish cartoons were published in an Egyptian newspaper... back in October, and that no public outcry followed.

Either you are not doing your jobs properly, or you are biased - which is it? Considering previous experiences, I don't expect this complaint to be shown nor do I expect you to make any changes in your original page.
Once upon a time, the BBC was a reliable news outlet instead of an Islamo-fascist propaganda tool. Churchill must be turning in his grave.

I wonder if they will publish it (LOL!).
good one cruzado. keep the pressure up.
This whole story passed the point of being about whether the Mo' toons were offensive to Mo' nazis as soon as the first threats were made against the cartoonists, and the first embassy was torched. I can't believe how the media and politicians have played along with the cult, and encouraged them in their violent, intimidating muslim-esque behaviour. THATS the problem the UK and the West needs to address.
I also wonder if the upcoming Mo' nazi Nuremburg rally protest march in London will go anywhere near the tube stations that were bombed on 7/7. WHAT A F#@#$@G INSULT.
It would be great to see a counter protest march against the Mo' nazis destroying British culture. I assume the Brits really must be somewhat phased by all of this.
There's really no need to be violent with this morbidly obese, lifelong welfare recipient Bakri.
What would be entertaining, however, and maybe even worth charging admission for, is for he and his nightshirt and towel ensemble to be taken to the top of the highest hill in the land and then pushed, so everyone could watch his blubbery carcass roll, and roll, and bounce, and roll, and bounce and roll.......
Yeah Bakri can kiss my backside...perhaps if he shaves that beard more female would take interest hence less stupid rantings due to sexual frustrations. Excessive bunch of a**holes!!!
Now on that note perhaps Al-Qaeda Air Force would send me an unmanned Flying Carpet on a Search and Destroy mission...:)

Plans for a European press charter committing the media to "prudence" when reporting on Islam and other religions, were unveiled yesterday.
Franco Frattini, the European Union commissioner for justice, freedom and security, revealed the idea for a code of conduct in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. Mr Frattini, a former Italian foreign minister, said the EU faced the "very real problem" of trying to reconcile "two fundamental freedoms, the freedom of expression and the freedom of religion".
Millions of European Muslims felt "humiliated" by the publication of cartoons of Mohammed, he added, calling on journalists and media chiefs to accept that "the exercising of a right is always the assumption of a responsibility". He appealed to European media to agree to "self-regulate".
Accepting such self-regulation would send an important political message to the Muslim world, Mr Frattini said.
By agreeing to a charter "the press will give the Muslim world the message: we are aware of the consequences of exercising the right of free expression, we can and we are ready to self-regulate that right", he said.
The code of conduct, as envisaged by Mr Frattini, would acknowledge the importance of respecting religious sensibilities but would not offer a "privileged" status to any one faith.
The European Commission has long had ambitions to introduce EU-wide legislation on fighting racism and xenophobia but has seen them founder amid resistance from national governments.
Mr Frattini said he was keen to move ahead with a voluntary code of conduct, to be drawn up by European media outlets with the assistance of the commission. The code would not have the status of an EU legal instrument and would not be enforceable by Union institutions.
•President Jacques Chirac called the Danish cartoons of Mohammed, published again in France yesterday, "overt provocations" that should be "avoided".
~ But hey, the middle east can keep on printing their nasty stuff. That's ok.
"Accepting such self-regulation would send an important political message to the Muslim world, Mr Frattini said."
He's right there. Message reads "YOU GUYS WIN".
"Mr Frattini, a former Italian foreign minister, said the EU faced the "very real problem" of trying to reconcile "two fundamental freedoms, the freedom of expression and the freedom of religion."
It is dificult for me to know exactly which feeling is stronger in me at this exact moment - anger or pity for this foolish, foolish man.
This is most decidedly not about freedom of religion. More accurately it is about freedom FROM religion.......islam.
There is no tension between freedom of expression and freedom of religion, let alone any "very real problem".
Omar Bakri wants the cartoonists tried and ex-
ecuted for drawing a cartoon? Perhaps we should discuss the beheading of innocent people by his camel-humping cohorts.
I am a prophet of God.
Omar Bakri insults my intelligence.
Thus, according to his own airtight logic, he must die.
I like the way this guy think.
Or, should I say, liked?
