And they want more blood, too: "we call upon all Muslims around the world to target the people like (him)."
An update on this story. "Somali group hails attack on Danish cartoonist," from AFP, January 2 (thanks to Maxwell):
MOGADISHU -- Somalia's radical Islamic Shebab group hailed Saturday the attack by a Somali on a Danish cartoonist reviled by Muslims for his drawing of their prophet Mohammed."We appreciate the incident in which a Muslim Somali boy attacked the devil who abused our prophet Mohammed and we call upon all Muslims around the world to target the people like (him)," Shebab spokesman Sheikh Ali Muhamud Rage told AFP.
"He is also suspected of being implicated in terrorist activities when he was in east Africa. The individual arrested has also been a member of a terrorist network implanted in Denmark that has been under surveillance by PET for a long time."
Rage said for his part, "There could be some people who might say that boy was related to Shebab or other Islamic organisations, but I tell you that this incident is not something that could be related only to Shebab or other Islamic organisations.
"It is a general obligation for all Muslims to defend their religion and the prophet. He really did what was to be done by any other Muslim."...
Refutations, please? Honest Ibe Hooper? Brave Ahmed Rehab? M. Cherif Bassiouni? Ali Eteraz? Anyone? Anyone?
"It is a general obligation for all Muslims to defend their religion and the prophet. He really did what was to be done by any other Muslim."
Does this qualify as a "hate crime"?
It is a general obligation for all Muslims to defend their religion and the prophet. He really did what was to be done by any other Muslim.
Refutations? Based on scholarship or logic? I think not. Just more of the "root cause" pap from our government stating that the "extremists hijack this ancient faith due to oppression, poverty and resentment." Couldn't be the Koran itself. Nah.
Note how the attacker and his supporters have no sense of humor or ability to shrug off the cartoons and not worry about them. What a sad life it must be to grow up around people like that.
Kind of makes you think the truth might hit a little too close to home, doesn't it? I mean, if someone told me he thought Christ molested livestock and sold drugs to children, I'd just shake my head, smile and move on. I wouldn't just up and yell, "HE DID NOT! That's a HALF-TRUTH! Those sheep were of consenting age and those drugs were medicinal. They were probably for ADD!"
And don't look for the legion of lickspittles in American newsrooms to have the integrity to print or show the cartoon that prompted this attack. Only three major U.S. papers did so when the original uproar was page-one news back in February of 2006:
The Philadelphia Inquirer
The Austin American-Statesman
The (sadly, now-defunct) Rocky Mountain News
The rest, including the paper for which I worked at the time, demurred, amid a cowardly chorus of weasel words.
As anyone can plainly see,it's becoming more evident that
Islam is not a religion, but a cult,a brotherhood.
I can see in the near future where its radical followers will commit such murderous mayhem against people in the West,that there will eventually be an enormous backlash.
In their warped minds they think they can succeed with divine help where Communism and Nazism have failed.
You may have hit on the reason for the hysteria. Mohammed is a model and guide for conduct to Moslems. Much of his life, as it has been passed down to us, consisted of what could objectively be called questionable behaviors towards followers and non-followers alike. We could look at his breaking his own four wife rule through the use of a convenient revelation or killing off a poetess who wrote verses against him. A Moslem must defend such actions and call them good, even if to the point of absurdity in the eyes of an outsider. This very act causes a tension within. A believer feels very threatened by anyone asking such questions, and will often lash out if given the opportunity to do so.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association needs to include a new listing for non-Muslims in the West who no matter what they learn about Islam or see Muslims do continue to think that Islam should be allowed to continue to spread in the West. Muslims can not be allowed in the West, period. Whatever harm is done to our lofty goals or rights by excluding them is simply the price that has to be paid to SURVIVE as Western Civilization.
I think that dissonance and guilt may be only half the problem, though. Throughout the Quran and sunnah, Mohammed clearly paints an EXTREMELY low picture of the unbeliever. Great for the day in motivating soldiery, but what is a Muslim student supposed to take from hearing about the infidel today?
He is taught how crimes against Muslims are 10X more heinous than crimes against mon-Muslims, how Mohammed would order the death or torture or enslavement of non-Muslims seemingly at a whim, without a breath of remorse or guilt, "It is as the butting together of two goats' heads". One hadith has Mohammed hearing the complaint of a man who said a Christian was rudely walking in front of him during prayers, and after two "forget about it" replies from the Prophet, Mohammed finally tells the man in seeming exasperation, "Just kill him".
How is any Muslim raised today supposed to react in any other fashion towards perceived insults from "pigs and monkeys"? How much remorse should he feel for stomping an ant-hill?
The typical modern liberal falls all over themselves crumbling into a weepy disoriented bundle of emotions when they consider how the West treats "the other" and how we are incapable of accepting "the other" but it is Islam that has perfected the process of making the enemy or "the other" evil in order to make attacking and destroying them easier. Even the armed forces in the West, which should inculcate some level of hatred for the enemy are incapable of doing that, the soldier is told to love the enemy and only kill them when it is absolutely positively necessary, the absolute last resort. But the liberal still can't bring themself to condemn Islam for this "hate the other" characteristic that is so central to everything that Islam is. They have to love "the other" even if the religion of the other is built around the core concept of hating the other, meaning the liberal.
We appreciate the incident in which a Muslim Somali boy attacked the devil who abused our prophet Mohammed
........................
And how was the Prophet Mohammed "abused"? Why, through the implication that he might well have been violent.
Let's prove the peacefulness of the Prophet by launching an axe attack against an old man and his little granddaughter.

So Allah is rocked on his throne in Jannat because of a cartoon?
You now see how weak the faith of Islam really is.
I would agree with you, but I do not think that it really undercuts what I stated earlier. Mohammed cut a very loathsome and anti-social figure in his time, and the holy works, despite glossing and various covers, still reflects a personage that no decent person would want to live near or have anything to do with. However, he is nonetheless the model man. How does a believer cope with a virtual godlike figure who is so self-serving and vicious? In such a situation one must engage in denial, obfuscation, and if all else fails shut down any discussion of the prophet through all means necessary. We have seen these techniques uses time and again by the apologists of Islam.
the only one that was abused was Aisha and the one who do that is Mohammed
It isn't that much different than a child who is molested and who while repulsed continues to somehow respect the adult especially if it is a parent. It would be like finding out your own parent was some sort of terrible criminal, a murderer who got away with it, or a rapist, and on some level you try to deny it, to see the good side of the person who is your parent, who raised you, who you looked up to. It really is a terrible spot that Muslims are in. Muhammad was just about as bad as it gets, yet as you say, he has to be held up as the model man, if he did it then it is good, if he didn't do it then it is bad. What a cluster f*$% Islam is. These people have got to be messed up in the head trying to follow this and make any kind of sense out of it. It is so bad, that is why I keep coming back to the idea that it had to be Satan himself behind getting Islam going. Satan has to be laughing his ass off over this. Surely he doesn't get much to laugh about in Hell but this has to be tops on his list. Every time he sees those poor pathetic wretches bending over in unison to "pray" as they ritually do he must laugh so hard his stomach hurts, he must wet his pants seeing what Islam has done to the world.
Whoever was whispering to Mo in that cave sure sounds like Satan, doesn't it? (I wonder, if Mohammed couldn't tell who was talking to him re the 'satanic verses', either by tone or message, how are Muslims certain all the other verses weren't tricks as well?)
Very interesting the Satan angle. If the Devil really wanted to author such a creed, he wouldn't provide a wall-to-wall to-do-list of demonic activities and Evil Commandments, nobody would fall for that. No, he would intersperse little evil nuggets in with some innocuous crowd-pleasing stuff. Perhaps only 1 in 10 verses that make the boys downstairs happy.
Satan would say things that start off sounding ethical and reasonable, and then, like the good lawyer he no doubt is, he'd slip in a few whammies near the end.
like: "Don't attack anyone... always strive for peace... unless they try to murder your family... or poison the well... or throw rocks at you... or look at you funny... or ohjust killthemallalready."
or: "It is advisable to have only one wife... unless you can afford more then you can have up to four... but if you are in the field engaged in defensive warfare, temporary wives are permissable... not to mention concubines... and right-hand war slaves... and don't get me started on the babes if you get KILLED... did I mention that I personally don't have any upper limit on wives?"
Somalians also applauded the stoning of women....
L.A. Times: Islamic Educational Center a target of anti-Muslim acts
Is this defaced Koran a "hate crime" equivalent to the attempted "hate murder" attack against an elderly cartoonist in his home? Which is really the "hate crime"?
No one should support "hate" acts in any form, but there must be a better label than "hate crime" or "hate speech" when one is harmless to a body, and the other deadly.
Can the MSM make distinction of this moral un-equivalence? They failed so far, so people take matters into their own hands to face the lies and act out their frustrations. Too bad if this results in a blow back against PC/MSM/MC mentality of our 'elites' in media and government. They must get a grip and face the facts as they are. Jihadists applaud attempted murder with twisted justifications, and call upon others of their ilk to commit the same. That is "hate crime", to call upon all Muslems to "defend their religion and the prophet" with violence. People are noticing.
People who wish to gain insights concerning what the Koran really asks its followers to do, should read the free E-book at http://www.dr-joseph-adam-pearson.com/book.pdf
A general obligation? LOL...that s the greatest excuse you muslims can think of whenever these type of aggresion of yours occur...Well...i say i can't blame the danish cartoonist for his illustration of the prophet Moh. Maybe he was just pissed off with the prophet for leaving a deadly last will and testament for all his followers to follow...and that is to kill us all non believers or infidels UNTIL all of us submits to their allah and the religion he invented called islam.
