Likewise, we should never forget the Muslim backlash to freedom of speech -- including mass riots, burned buildings and cars, and dead Christians. See here for a long list of Muslim "reactions" to the "cartoon controversy," arranged by country. "Muslims to appeal cartoon case," from News 24, July 31:
Copenhagen - Seven Danish Muslim associations were planning to appeal to Denmark's highest court over the publication of 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that sparked violent protests in 2006, reports said on Thursday.A spokesperson for the Islamic Society told Danish media that a lawyer was working on the appeal to the Supreme Court.
Earlier, a Danish district court and an appeal court had turned down cases filed against the former managing editor and cultural editor of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, which published the cartoons in September 2005.
The Muslim associations maintain that Muslims were slandered when the prophet was depicted as a terrorist and war-monger, but both Danish courts ruled that the publication was not slander.
Islamic Society spokesperson Bilal Assaad said the groups were prepared to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, should the Supreme Court not support their case, news agency Ritzau said.
In February, Danish security police said they averted a plot to murder newspaper cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who made one of the 12 cartoons, depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
Leading Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoons after the plot against Westergaard was disclosed, sparking new protests.
Every time Muslims raise this matter, simply reprint the cartoons again. Every time a lawsuit is filed, every time a threat is made, directly or indirectly, reprint the cartoons again. In Denmark, and all over. Do it so often, in a show of solidarity for the principle of free speech, for the principle, that is, that not only the principle but also the actual exercise, of free speech, is to be defended.
Repeat ad libitum.
Of course the cartoons weren't of the "Prophet Mohammed." Some purported to be, especially Bomb Turban Mohammed, but as many focused on the threat to lives and freedom which results from discussing any Islamic issue. Muslims don't do irony.
The establishment media has scrapped hundreds of years of enlightenment to kowtow to the most regressive and violent major religion on the planet. I wish I could enjoy the schadenfreude or the I-told-you-so aspect of all this, having never been a 'progressive' transnational economic determininst myself.
The West will NEVER let muhammedans forget the muhammed cartoons (nor much else) - reprint the cartoons everywhere!
No, we won't forget atrocity upon atrocity of muslim violence against any and all who don't believe the way they do, including other muslims - simply because they're not shia or sunni or amahdi or drooz or kurd or even ARAB (Darfur).
No, we will not forget . . .and we won't let the Islamic world forget any of it either.
From Fjordmans essay:
The West may be slow at the trigger but many bloggers continue to publish those cartoons as well as counter-jihad songs and instructional anti-jihad videos and web pages demonstrating growing numbers of westerners waking and recognizing the threat to free speech.
No, we will not forget . . .and we won't let muhammedans forget any of it either . . .NEVER!.
We shall never forget:
I will never forget that awful, disgusting Abu Laban, whining and whingeing on CNN, that "we love our prophet more than we love our own children", that "this kind of democracy is no good for us" and the threatening "we have been very, very patient"- but try to find these clips on youtube now and you will find you have very little luck.
With the news networks and their stooges being bought with petro-dollars we are digging our own graves.
Islamania's motto should be "We rarely forgive and never forget". 5000 years from now this whole cartoon business will rank with the Crusades as one of the biggest abominations ever put over on those supreme victims, the Koranists. And they'll still kill because of it too.
The court should throw these people out on their ear, and tell them not to come back.
The cartoons slander muslims? Muslims slander themselves. The long list of 'reactions' provided by Robert, makes its own case...
And will they ever forget that Dutch Imans created TWO EXTRA cartoon illistrations to cause to conflict?
I have still never heard of the 'prosecution' for these extra two cartoons.
In Judaism, 6 million murdered in WWII resulted in cartoons of Nazis, while in Islam, cartoons of Mohammad may result in 6 million murdered.
I'm really glad the Muslims keep that insult alive. We here in Denmark tend to forget it by now.
