More Lars Vilks Cartoon Rage. Manufacturers will continue to be threatened, as will others, and Cartoon Rage will not ultimately end until Europe adopts Sharia blasphemy laws. "Ericsson Threatened by Al-qaeda in Iraq," from Cellular News:
The Swedish telecoms manufacturer, Ericsson has apparently been threatened in an audio message hosted by an Islamist blog if the Swedish government did not apologize for a recent Swedish cartoon deemed to be insulting to Islam.Last month, the Swedish newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda published a cartoon which depicted the Prophet, Muhammad as a dog. Over the weekend a message was posted on the Malaysia based, Al-ekhlaas website where the self-declared leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Sheikh Abu Omar al-Baghdadi offered a US$100,000 reward for whoever kills the Swedish cartoonist, Lars Vilks and a US$50,000 reward for the killing of the news editor, Ulf Johansson.
He further threatened Sweden with "an economic blow against your giant companies such as Ericsson, Scania, Volvo, Ikea, and Electrolux" if it did not repent for "its crime against the Prophet Muhammad."
The Swedish daily, Dagens Nyheter itself reproduced the cartoon in smaller form as well over the weekend. "We live in a country where freedom of expression is not dictated by fundamentalists, nor by governments," wrote Dagens Nyheter chief editor in an editorial. "Dagens Nyheter has already published the cartoon. To me, publishing it was the obvious thing to do."
It should be obvious to all Western newspapers.
Yes. They should band together and agree that in circumstances such as these they will all publish.
But don't many of them use cell (mobile) phones for detonating explosions?
Guess they will have to change brands!
Wonder if they thought of it before they announced threat?
Gramfan,
Good point! Islamo-nazis enjoy the technology provided by nations like Sweden, but they don't accept it when the thing that allowed them to develop (freedom) turns against their pedophile prophet.
Anyway..
Why not use that money to build schools and security infrastructures in Iraq?
And after that, Sheik Abu Omar was heard saying:
Crusader
As you say re money.
It amazes me how they can't use their "talent" and money for ANYTHING constructive, only new ways to harm people,and of course, all with western technology!
Then they blame the west because they live in third world countries or wealthy monarchies/theocracies who don't give a damn about them.
UNBELIEVABLE

Muslim dentist 'told patient to wear a headscarf or go elsewhere'
A muslim dentist made a woman wear Islamic dress as the price of accepting her as an NHS patient, it is alleged.
Omer Butt is said to have told the patient that unless she wore a headscarf she would have to find another practice.
Later this month, Mr Butt will appear before a General Dental Council professional misconduct hearing, which has the power to strike him off.
It is claimed that the 31-year-old dentist asked to speak to the woman in private after she turned up for an appointment at his clinic in Bury.
According to the charges, he questioned her on whether she was a Muslim and told her that if he was to treat her she would have to wear Islamic dress.
He is also said to have read out a number of religious rules to her.
He then told his nurse to give the patient her own headscarf to wear, the accusation says.
It is not known whether the woman was a Muslim.
The charges to be heard by the General Dental Council say that Mr Butt undermined public confidence in his profession by discriminating against a patient and failed to act in her best interests.
Mr Butt is the older brother of former Islamic extremist Hassan Butt, who once declared he had 'no problem' with terror attacks on Britain and who said that September 11 "served the pleasure of Allah".
He has since recanted and now calls for all Muslims to abandon violence.
The dentist also featured in immigration hearings involving an asylum seeker suspected of providing a safe house for Kamel Bourgass, an Algerian terrorist jailed for life for stabbing PC Stephen Oake to death in Manchester in 2003.
Mr Butt, the immigration hearing was told, was introduced by his brother to the asylum seeker, who at various points claimed three different identities.
The tribunal was told that Mr Butt was "a respectable and responsible person who wishes to help devout and practising Muslims in difficulty".
He "did not regard the use of false names as unusual for asylum seekers".
The headscarf incident is alleged to have happened in 2005, at a time when between 4,000 and 8,000 people in Bury were unable to find an NHS dentist.
According to the charges, Mr Butt "asked to speak to Patient A in private.
"In the course of conversation with Patient A you: (a) asked whether she was Muslim; (b) told her words to the effect that, in order to receive treatment from you, she needed to wear appropriate Islamic dress; (c) quoted to her parts of the Ahadith."
The Ahadith is a series of instructions on behaviour attributed to Prophet Mohammed but not written as part of the Koran.
The charge continues: "You told Patient A that, if she did not wear a headscarf, she would need to register with another dentist. You instructed your dental nurse to give Patient A her headscarf.
"The dental nurse took Patient A to another room where she was given the nurse's headscarf to wear.
"In seeking to impose an Islamic dress code on Patient A in order for treatment to be provided you undermined public confidence in the profession by discriminating against Patient A."
If the charges are upheld, the Porsche- driving dentist will be found guilty of serious professional misconduct.
Penalties can range from a public warning to suspension and being struck off.
Tory MP Sir Paul Beresford, a former minister and a dentist, said: "When a patient comes to see me I have no concern with their religion. I do not ask Muslim patients to read the Bible.
"My practice tries to respect religious belief. For example, during Ramadan we try to help Muslim patients by making sure they do not have to swallow water when they are fasting. We do not ask patients to become Christians."
Women staff at Mr Butt's Bury practice do not routinely wear headscarves while at work.
One female patient said: "I think it is a pretty outrageous thing to ask but I have never felt as if I am being discriminated against at this practice as a Western woman.
"If I was then I would certainly make a full complaint. If it is true then it shows a reverse prejudice bordering on racism."
Mr Butt was involved in another controversial incident earlier this year when police stopped his Porsche 911 and said they could not read its customised number plate.
The dentist recorded the subsequent search of the car on his mobile phone and passed the video to the BBC, which broadcast it on a local news bulletin. It shows Mr Butt asking an officer: "Are you a racist?"
The dentist was then arrested for racially aggravated behaviour. There were no charges, and a complaint against the police by Mr Butt is still being considered.
Mr Butt was unavailable for comment yesterday. Staff at his practice said he was on holiday.
Hope that dentist has the book thrown at him!
What incredible bigotry and discrimination.
If a non-muslim dentist refused to attend a muslim he would have been locked away already.

....what is the problem...do they not have Islamic money to offer?....ooops, my bad, Islam has nothing to offer...
Someone was asking about Cerebrate?

(PLEASE POST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AT OTHER WEBSITES)
The U.S. Senate Project (an initiative to increase congressional awareness of the nature and goals of jihad) currently has 88 volunteers in 40 states.
WE ARE STILL SEEKING ADDITIONAL CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL 50 STATES, ESPECIALLY THE FOLLOWING 11:
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming
THE PROJECT: We're looking for people in every state of the Union who would be willing to purchase, from Amazon or any other source, a copy of Robert Spencer's new book Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is And Islam Isn't and mail it, on an agreed upon date, to one of the senators in your state. We want to get the book simultaneously to all 100 senators, in order to send a strong message. If we get more than two people per state, books can also be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.
If you'd like to participate (or you just have questions), please write to me at traehnam@yahoo.com under the subject heading "Senate," and tell me the state your senator represents, and a nickname. No need for your real name. And I will never share your email address with anyone, not even with other volunteers for this project.
And visit jihadawareness.blogspot.com to get more info on this project and to leave comments other volunteers can read. You can also see there the growing list of participants in this project, and the states their senators represent. I've also designed a graphic that might amuse. Scroll down when you get to the site.
Once we have at least two people from every state, we can agree on a mailing date and then each of us can mail a copy of the book on that date.
Right before each of us mails the book, we’ll issue a press release to media outlets in as many states as possible, and in that way announce and explain the mailing. And perhaps we can come up with some other ways of maximizing the effectiveness of this project and gaining as much positive attention as possible.
One of the project's volunteers suggested contacting Rep. Sue Myrick, who started the Anti-Jihad Caucus in Congress. I'll try to coordinate this project with Rep. Myrick. I've also been calling various congressional offices to get advice on how best to proceed.
I wouldn't even go to a muslim dentist. Who knows where those fingers were last?
...muslim dentist....getting drilled takes on new meaning....
Swedish Artist has been advised to go into hiding following Islamic death threats.
As tension mounted over a drawing offensive to Muslims, Swedish police have told artist Lars Vilks he was no longer safe at his home.

"Swedish Artist has been advised to go into hiding following Islamic death threats."
muslims threaten the economy of sweden so therefore place sewdish troops at the border and in their muslim community. deport all illegals and ask the muslim swedish community to renounce this threat.
or act like pansys and hide the cartoonist.
Yeah Leon,
I'm hearing "go into hiding" but I'm thinking "come out swinging". It will come to that.
Erica Baine, we need you here, girl.
"He further threatened Sweden with "an economic blow against your giant companies such as Ericsson, Scania, Volvo, Ikea, and Electrolux""
Go ahead, boycott the infidels!
Some uplifiting news from the Muslim embargo front:
Israeli Arabs decide to boycott El-Al
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1189411429755&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
"A group of Israeli Arabs are boycotting El-Al in protest of the intensive security checks that Arabs undergo in Israeli airports, Army Radio reported."
A sample of talkbacks from this article in Jerusalem Post:
"This is good news for travelers of Israel's airline. Now if only they would boycott US airlines...I would fly more for vacations."
"Good ridence!!! Let them fly air palistan!!! "
" I've even been escorted with other Arabs before, and they almost always act like they are political prisoners. The El Al staff is nothing but polite and it has never bothered me. "
"What great news. I hope ALL Arabs take part in the boycott. They can always fly on Muhammed's horse. What a pity that the Arabs do not have enough sense to know WHY they have to go thru such security."
"The Arabs love to complain. My passport says I was born in Iraq. I also have to go through extra checks regularly because of this but I don't cry like a baby about this."
"Why are they beefing here? It is precisely their people's inability to get along with anyone else that has caused this problem. And, it is for their 'own' safety that this is done. When their people wake up, 'someday, don't know when, or if ever', and join the 'human race', then we can get back to normalcy, otherwise, who knows?"
"THe adage that 'the rotten apple spoils the barrel' applies here. If it were not for the daily threats, bombings, rockets and shootings by some in the Arab community, these measures would not be necessary. Get your 'rotten apples' to stop their actions and we will ease ours; till then, rot with the rest of them."
"Profilling let me think.. Who are the biggest terroists in the world... is it the Canadians, Mexicans, Spanish, French, NO it's the ARABS... so if they do not want to have to under go such "terrible" checks let them say they are against the Terroists and do something to stop their Brother Arabs from Killing innocent people around the world and Israel.. Also after 9-11 all the countries came to ELAL to see what they do to stop the terroist from getting onto the planes....now do it too"
"Big deal. LOL. So now we get faster on board and travelling safer and quiter as well. Good job guys !"
"I say - TOUGH. Until you "Israeli" Arabs stand up and speak out against your Arab brethren's hatred and murder of your "fellow" Israelis then you will just have to suffer the consequences. Do us a favour and fly another airline."
"Israeli Arabs get very upset due to stringent security checks when leaving or entering Israel. They never get offended or feel remorse when their own children are convicted for murdering Jews or participating in terroristic activity. How come they aren't demonstrating against Saudi Arabia for not allowing Israeli Jews from entering the country, maybe we should prevent Israeli Arabs from entering Israel, then they wouldn't be offend."
"If they're not willing to undergo the necessary and quite reasonable security checks so be it. Political correctness has no place in security matters. Let them fly some other airline. "
Reading such readers comments one is comforted that after all the PC madness of journalists and politicians, there are still ordinary people out there with common sense.
KORAN" Black dogs are evil devils".
What a racist belief of the muslims. equating the black color of a dog to evilness. Indeed the color black is often considered evil in the koran. Can't can't dark skinned person truly think this is racisim of the worst kind? And if the devil would choose to hide himself in a dog because it is black why not other black animals or black humans? The more you about thesei slamic beliefs the more they can drive you crazy.
Folks, it just as simple as this:
"We can't get our way with you Infidels, yet, so we will hasten the process along by taking down your industries!"
Nice try on 9/11, but no cigar. Now for a super-minor (perceived) slight about the Rev. Jim Jones (oops, Mo), let's blow up that evil IKEA.
From the (ig)noble Korant:
3.110
"Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors."
Just another example of mass envy and jealousy because Islam isn't credited with inventing great modular furniture, fine machinery, and affordable mobile technologies.
Unbelievable.
So let them rot without cell phone service.. boo-hoo..
And if their fellow countrymen don't like it, let them sort this out with the ones making the threats!
Why does every Western company have to do business in the Middle East anyway?
Send home the moslems who are freeloading amongst us and that will more than make up for whatever money they might make in these backward countries.
Let the Swedish workers sponge off the government instead of these moslem freeloaders.
Jeez.. how hard is it to figure this out!
