It would be funny... if it wasn't true.

As for my favorite I find myself divided between the 2nd one and the last one.

Subject: Solzenitzen and Pope Benedict

Bill ("O'Reilly),

This whole situation with the Pope is reminiscent of the Soviet reaction to what Alexander Solzenitzen said in his public comments re the Soviet system, comments that caused him to be exiled. By the 1970's the leaders of the USSR and many of those who held firmly to the Soviet belief-system were threatened by the facts and Solzenitzen was accused of anti-Soviet bias, revisionism, etc. People who agreed with him in the Soviet Empire were arrested, beaten, threatened, killed, exiled, etc. However, fact was that the believers in the Soviet System could not handle the painful truth that the Soviet system did stifle creativity and made everyone lie to keep it going. Today we see Solzenitzen's comments as ho-hum-plain-truth. Some day Pope Benedict's comments will be seen as similar to Solzenitzen's comments in terms of cause, effect and truthfulness.

Best regards,

Frank J,

Oh, the first one has it all, especially portraying islam as the Dragon (the embodiment of Evil and Satan's symbol). Look up St. Michael the Archangel (head of all the Angels) and see what he's been charged with battling in this world.

The first two are the best. I like the top one because the dragon looks so utterly stupid. It just does not understand at all!

On top of which, the sleeping 'moderate muslims' in the little tent on the tail are completly out of the contest.

The last 2 are a little too real and a cartoon is meant to be a parody of reality. It is tough to parody a parody but we should keep trying and humour is a weapon that the Islamic mindset does not have.

The drawing pen is mightier than the sword.

Robert Spencer:

I saw in your bio for media tour that you once appeared on the "Michael Coren" show in Canada, well Dr.Elmasry from the CIC (he claimed all Israelis over 18 were Ok to murder by suicide bombers) and the current yahoo at the CAF (canadian Arab federation)who backed the Hezbollah flags in Toronto and Montreal during the Muslim/palestinian Peace marches against Israel defended itself from rocket attacks and kidnappings to murder civilians or Soldiers, have now launch a major campaign in canada to stop Coren from telling the truth about islam .

Here's the Jihad to censor a Christian in canada
as if this is a middle east Nation to oppress religous minorities.
Elmasry has a hell of a nerve to make these claims below, it was while Elmasry was allowed on Coren's show to get the Muslim voice that Elmasry blew his top and Declared all Israelis over 18 as valid targets for murder by suicide bombers.

This can't go unchallenged or not be exposed to the General population , Elmasry and Sheema khan from CAIR-Canada were behind the fight to get Sharia-law in canada for female muslims , this should be a wake-up call to what the future will be like if Muslims become a majority power.

**************************************************

Canadian Arab And Islamic Groups Urge CTS Network To Drop Michael Coren Show

HOST’S EDITORIALS AND REMARKS CONSISTENTLY BASH MUSLIMS AND ARABS AND PROMOTE HATE

The Canadian Islamic Congress and the Canadian Arab Federation have joined to oppose the anti-Muslim / anti-Arab content and tone of the CTS network talk show hosted by Michael Coren, whose recent Toronto Sun editorial advocates launching a preemptive nuclear attack on Iran.

Both NGOs have sent a letter of protest to CTS management and to the CRTC, Canada’s broadcast governing body, to ask that The Michael Coren Show be dropped.

Coren, who has defended on air his inflammatory Sept. 2 Toronto Sun editorial on "nuking" Iran under the umbrella of democratic free speech, has often drawn harsh criticism from multicultural and social justice organizations for his right wing views and frequent choice of guests who support extreme neo-conservative ideologies.

"What passes for constructive debate and exchange on The Michael Coren Show is often as distant from professional, responsible journalism as a schoolyard brawl in which the bully with the loudest voice and biggest fist 'wins'," today's statement said in part. "Worse yet, the biggest bully is frequently Coren himself, egging on participants that he has personally chosen in order to generate more heat than wisdom on the day's most sensitive and complex topics."

Both the CIC and CAF have denounced Coren's published and broadcast views as repugnant and a mockery of Canada's history as a progressive, multi- ethnic country that advocates peace, justice and fair opportunity for all.

"The Canadian media should be guardians of truth, balance and accuracy in a society that still values civility, and tolerance," the joint statement continued.

"Michael Coren's September 2 editorial did nothing to foster understanding, but instead propagated hate, intolerance, and even genocide ... In print and on air Coren has crossed the line of democratic free speech; he has become a dangerous promoter of hate literature. Canada should not condone such inhumane and barbaric propaganda."

The letter signed by both CAF and CIC was sent to: CTS's Program Manager Rob Sheppard (905) 331-7333, ext. 2236, rsheppard@ctstv.com

CONTACTS:

Dr. Mohamed Elmasry, CIC's national president
(519) 746-4107 (O)
(519) 498-1350 (Cell)
E-mail: np@canadianislamiccongress.com

Mrs. Wahida Valiante, CIC's national VP

E-mail: nvp@canadianislamiccongress.com

Khaled Mouammar, CAF's president
(416) 879-6766 (Cell)
E-mail: president@caf.ca

*************************************************

This is a dangerous demnad for appeasement to fire Coren for what Iran and Muslims have done to draw heated debates,this ruse to deflect the terrorism and murders by Muslims to Christians
is just another scam that CAIR perfected years back with their bogus islamophobia claims and damaged mosques that never seem to find the vandals or one witness to it.

Posted by: ala-sux at September 21, 2006 8:09 AM

The push-back we've all been waiting for.

When we see cartoons like these in the Guardian, we'll see John Reid and Pope Benedict XVI as having drawn the line in the sand and challenged the Muslim Umma to show that they can respond rationally and responsibly if Islam is really a religion of peace as it claims. Kudos also to Cardinal Pell of Sydney and the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey.

Posted by: citycat at September 21, 2006 8:47 AM

There’s no depiction of the Muslim prophet in any of these cartoons. Yet the mainstream media probably will not be printing any such cartoons for the fear of “offending sensitivities”.

Posted by: Steve Cheng at September 21, 2006 8:58 AM

The truth hurts for many Muslims just as it hurt for the Soviets. Islam and Soviet Communism create similar Gulags of the mind, are similarly very fearful of criticism, and both are totalitarian and hypocritical in method. Charges of "Islamaphobia" will someday be viewed as similar to charges of "anti-Soviet bias" in terms of logic, reason, facts, and truth.

Thank-you for making my morning with those newspaper cartoons. I like the one of the dragon and the one about when it shows the hijacked airplanes hiting the WTC Towers.

As I say : Terorism is the fruit, Islam the root.

If you look at the entire sequence on cagle.com (http://cagle.com/news/PopeRemarks/main.asp) there are unfortunately (but predictably) some "Dhimmi" and moral equivalence cartoons as well:

It is interesting that the twin devils spoke freely in the UN with great criticism of the United States. They excercised their right to free speech which is their constitutional right in the United States. They did this, eventhough there are probably criminal charges and civil damages that they could have been detained for arising out of the US embassy hostage taking and various acts of state sponsered terrorism. They came and went after they enjoyed their moment in the spotlight. The press covered their words and the world accorded them an elevated status which they are not deserving.

Meanwhile, did anybody notice the irony of their actions in Iran last week. The last "reformist" newspaper was shuttered for printing a political cartoon, showing a Donkey with a halo on a chessboard. I think the caption was something like A New Way to Play the Game. It was a less then oblique reference to the current Iranian President. Apparently, President A. and the Council of 12 mullahs dont like what passes for free speech and a free press in Iran, so they have shut down newspaper after newspaper for printing anything that could be considered as critical to the government or Islam.

It just gets better every day. Islamo-ism (I think it is unfair to fascists to call them Islamo-fascists) is the gift to the world that keeps on giving.

A further parallel between Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist totalitarianism and Islamic totalitarianism is the function of Dialectics (specifically, the "Law of the Identity of Contradictions")in the former and Koranic Abrogation (where the earlier peaceful/tolerant Meccan suras are "abrogated" by the latter violent/intolerant Medinan suras)in the latter.

Both devices have been used to circumvent and disarm efforts to demand logical and factual consistency from the adherents of the respective totalitarian ideologies. The resulting moral and intellectual chaos effectively defaults any attempt at reasoned argument in favor of whomever is most ruthless in threatening or committing violence.

Posted by: urbanIIredux at September 21, 2006 11:12 AM

protectalbion,
John McCain is out of his mind with his promotion of the jihadi bill of rights. I’m not validating Pres. Bush, but to go from skipping out on some National Guard training to evading Front line service? People will take you more seriously if you don’t try to make the story bigger than it is. Vietnam was not a Victory and I don’t think it is healthy for the country to rely on these Vietnam era Officers. We need winners in charge.

Posted by: tgusa at September 21, 2006 11:19 AM

km,

France, at least in the 20th century, has always slipped behind whatever evil curtain that darkened its door as long as there's not one scratch on Notre Dame. What does France have to worry about? After all, won't America and England always spend its own money and blood to free it?

Germany and France: the douchebags of Europe.

Posted by: citycat at September 21, 2006 11:33 AM

Km, I wish I had gone to Europe when I had the chance. I always wanted to see Paris and check out the castles in Europe. If Europe doesn't take back their countries now, there won't be a castle, Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame left. They will be destroyed.

Posted by: chackler at September 21, 2006 12:05 PM

A picture is worth a thousand words...except to muslims who know only eight words: Allah, rape, riot, break, burn, steal, lie and kill. The rest of muslimese are not words, but utterences, unintelligible mumbles, and grunts. On top of that they burp a lot and pass lots of gas. This is one reason you cant negotiate with terrorists and pictures are a lot better. If a picture is worth a thousand words, muslims are only able to grasp about fourty of them...what this means, is that in order to communicate with language deficient muslims, more pictures are in order. The Ummah needs to be bombarded with more pictures, preferably cartoons showing Mohammad and Allah in a bad light.

I think I took that link rom LGF, I am wondering what the following responses are going to be to that little incident, both from the police and the musselmen. I guarantee those junior jihadis will be looking to try their luck again.

Every was the place where they found a petrol bomb factory last year during the intifada. The area is highly Islamicized, I am certainly expecting similar operations in the near future.

From David Letterman:

“Nine Signs that Osama bin Laden is in love with you”

1. He carved your initials in an infidel.

2. Always gets the camel washed and waxed before he picks you up.

3. Never forgets to release an Al-Jazeera video on your birthday.

4. You say you enjoy Barry Manilow—next day he sends you Barry Manilow’s ear.

5. Orders 1 goat milk, 2 straws.

6. Says only thing hotter than your body is his scorching hatred for the Zionists.

7. Get a romantic greeting card that reads, “You jihad me at ‘Hello”’.

8. He lets you call him “Ossie”.

9. New intelligence reports put his whereabouts at Zales.

-------
And on a more serious note:

“Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela and renown loose cannon... said in a speech Tuesday it’s possible the U.S. government had a hand in attacking itself on Sept. 11. Of course, it’s also possible the U.S. government doesn’t even exist, that it and we and Chavez himself are only figments of the imagination of a little autistic boy staring into a snow globe. Possible, but not bloody likely.” —Leonard Pitts, Jr.

“If you wonder why it took 50 years to get the truth about Joe McCarthy, consider the fanatical campaign of the Clinton acolytes to kill an ABC movie that relies on the 9/11 Commission Report, which whitewashed only 90 percent of Clinton’s cowardice and incompetence in the face of terrorism, rather than 100 percent.” —Ann Coulter

“I don’t know how you can explain five years of no attacks, five years of successful disruption of attacks, five years of defeating the efforts of al-Qa’ida to come back and kill more Americans. You’ve got to give some credence to the notion that maybe somebody did something right.” —Vice President Dick Cheney ++ “The biggest story since 9/11 is that there hasn’t been an other 9/11. According to our hysterical media culture, everything’s always going wrong. The truth is that we’ve gotten the big things right... Does that mean everything’s perfect? Of course not... [S]ome terrorists will manage to hit us again. But if attempt No. 500 succeeds, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth stopping the other 499. Yet, after the next attack, we’ll hear no end of trash-talk about how the War on Terror ‘failed’.” —Ralph Peters

“Islamic protests against the slightest Western criticism of or doubt about the religion of Mohammed ring hollow... [S]o long as their religion is noted for its willingness to persecute and employ violence around the globe, they have little credibility to complain of offenses by others.” —Doug Bandow

“If 9/11 had really changed us, there’d be a 150-story building on the site of the World Trade Center today. It would have a classical memorial in the plaza with allegorical figures representing Sorrow and Resolve, and a fountain watched over by stern stone eagles. Instead there’s a pit, and arguments over the usual muted dolorous abstraction approved by the National Association of Grief Counselors. The Empire State Building took 18 months to build. During the Depression. We could do that again, but we don’t. And we don’t seem interested in asking why.” —James Lileks

“A Western civilization that will not recognize the essential role that Judaism and Christianity played in its development and will not defend its faith in these religions and the right of other faiths to exist unthreatened, will fall victim to the irrationality and violence of Islam, and the light of reason will be turned off.” —Alan Caruba
