Speaking of insults to great religious traditions, watch for the State Department to issue a stern denunciation of this insult to Christianity. Mr. Cooper? Take it away. "Bin Laden Artwork Now Hanging In New York," from WCBSTV.com, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Our interest in this story was sparked by an angry email sent to us here at WCBSTV.com. The writer wasn't angry at us, but rather about what he'd seen at the current National Black Fine Art Show in the Puck Building. This is the 10th anniversary edition of the show which features galleries from across the country selling the works of America's top African American painters, sculptors, and photographers.But the writer had big problems with a painting by Harlem artist "Tafa". It depicts an upside down Christ-like figure with a face strongly resembling Osama Bin Laden. The email read in part, "This is outrageous. This is an attack against my religion. How can an artist go so low? Most people are outraged, most Christians."
On the phone with me, the artist declined to do an on-camera interview, telling me the work speaks for itself, but adding, the resemblance to Bin Laden was no accident.
The art show's producer Josh Wainwright, insisted he hadn't even made the Bin Laden connection. "Knowing what you know now would you have barred the painting from being part of your show?" I asked. "Absolutely not," he replied. Wainwright says he's a military veteran and despises Bin Laden, but he added, "I don't think it's anyone's job or vocation to limit the expression of artists."
Great, Mr. Wainwright. I have a show of cartoons for you and I invite you to be the producer.
Just after the New York arty-farty community was getting over those Christ-in-a-Jar-of-Urine riots! And of course who could forget that terrible Virgin Mary-plastered- in- elephant- dung riot.

Kåre should you read this great work
Now, according to the actions of Muslims, Christians should be up in arms about this attack on Jesus and Christianity. This "Tafa" says that the simularity to bin Laden is no accident, thus on purpose!!!
But yet, there are no calls for jihad, burning of flags, the beating of artists in the streets of the major cities across the United States. I wonder why? We Christians do esteem our Lord and Savior in the most highest way.
This woman will claim to represent the additude of all Blacks in America.
No, she only represent the African American faction. She dosen't speak for me and does not repersent my additude towards America. Once again, I'm an American. Born and raised. No hyphens. She's one of the many misguided and ignorant African Americans that infest this country. Lead to think that they are held back from achievement by the "whiteman," by Jesse "Jackass" Jackson, Al "Slim Shady" Sharpton and Louis FarraConman. Men such as Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, and myself would be concidered "sell outs" because we're not on the mainstream of the African American community and don't listen to what the civil rights charlitians have to say. we're too busy living the American dream.
As far as Mr. Wainwrights position on "freedom of expression" maybe someone can put on display a picture from one of the European comics. Lets see if he'll have the same feeling when it's the pedophile false prophet. So far no one has threatened to boycott the art show. But then, this is New York, the bastion of liberalism!!!
You know, one of the sad things about the piss Jesus
and elephant dung Mary stuff was not it's obvious
offensiveness and blasphemy, but the fact that it
really stunk as art. Seriously, I've seen kids put a
delicious looking slice of orange on a pile of dog poop, and this stuff is at that level. Funny when a
five year old does it, but just lame, as art.
The Last Temptation of Christ, at the very least,
was a well made movie. So was the Life Of Brian.
But "Piss Christ"? Come on, even you atheists out
there, admit it. That stunk!
But a Christian's reaction to any injustice to his faith will be completly different from that of the Moslims.
They will not call for the murder of the person responsible,or call for his beheading.
One good thing these Muslim protesters are doing is,Uniting all non-Muslims of Europe and America. See the unity of News media of france,Italy,Netherlands,Germany,and Sweden raising their united voice,in support of the Danish people. It Unity is growing,and in days,all Europe and America,including Russia will unite. Sensing our differences between ourselves,made these Islamists to run amuck in our own country. We must thank them for making us united.
rafia-
"We must thank them for making us united."
Exactly!
Which is why the screws must be tightened on their twisted little pseudo-iconoclastic brains WITH MORE CARICATURES... to have them expose their true natures now, while their numbers in the West are still manageable.
(Albert [his real last name is actually "Einstein"] Brooks' film "LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD" is debuting in the West just in time to be another spark for the Islamo-lunacy.)
I heard on Al-Jazeera that the auto ferry which sank, with over 1000 casualties, as it travelled between Saudi Arabia and Egypt, really went down because of all of the smuggled Danish feta being carried onboard by the the boycott-disappointed workers. (But maybe that's just a rumor. It might have been all the hidden cases of Tuborg beer and butter cookies.)
I have heard that ALL liberals TALK BIG...
When it comes to insulting
Americans
Policemen
Fireman
Our Soldiers
Regular Hetereosexual moms and dads
Christians
Jews..
Because the Treasonist liberals know that more than likely the above people are good law abiding citizens... who wont be-head them...
so i want to see ALL the BIG networks
BLOW up these cartoons and Play them over and over again as the "ARTWORK" they are...
Cnn was so CHICKEN today the BLOBBED out then entire cartoon exept the edge...
Wow what liberal bravery...
And So typical of the CHICKENS on the LEFT..

I wish I could share your optimism. But just now I read an interview with the Jyllandsposten's (the Danish paper) chief editor, where he was asked if he would publish the cartoons again, knowing about the reaction.
He said "probably not". So there you go. This is a straw fire. Right now, there is some resemblence of spine, because the islamic madness is just too bizarre.
But they have learned their lesson. We won´t have to stomach to do this again, so in future we will be better dhimmis.
I wish I was wrong, but that is how I see it.
The Liberal Left who value "tolerance" above all else as being the consummate indication of enlightenment and profound intelligence are faced with a delema. Will any of them ever reach a point where they would not tolerate another culture of different beliefs and practices? They've got a long way to go, but after they've played out the "it's our own fault" song and dance routine, what comes next? The fanatics of intolerance are calling for the death of the cartoonists, and their answer is that the cartoonists must stop! It's their fault! After all, we as the enlightened left vigorously defended the freedoms of expression as depicted by the "art" of the crucifix in a glass of urine, or the mother of Jesus Christ plastered with feces, but we will not defend something as vile as a cartoon of a prophet with a bomb in his turbin! You see the difference, don't you?! You must, if you're enlightened and profoundly intelligent as we of the liberal left are.
Mo said to kill the infidels (preferably by cutting their necks or heads) if they won't pay and obey or convert; why then does a bomb
turban offend?
Easy! Islam is a shame-based religion that begs for murder when its adherent is shamed. (Thank you Sha'i ben Takoa.)
The short-of-virgins cartoon is clever, not blasphemous, in pointing out one of the many absurdities in Islam.
Islam is nothing but a weird counterfeit of Judaism and Christianty, invented by a demonic pedophile with the 'will to power.'
I am very angry about today's burning of the Danish consulate in Lebanon and the other violences the Islamo-fascists (thank you Michael Savage) are committing...I smell WWIII in the air.
