Does anybody think that Elric will put up this link on jihadwatch?? Some how I doubt it, it kind of flys in the face of his thinking that all Muslims are either terrorists or believe in the terrorist ideology.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader offers bounty

Anyone familiar with the latest life span statistic of the recent sequence of 'al-qaeda' leaders in Iraq?

Are certain Muslims BORN insulted?

I believe that they are so "sensitive" because, in their hearts, they suspect their God is powerless. Remember how the ancient prophets of Baal got so easily insulted?

Posted by: Always On Watch at September 15, 2007 9:58 AM

There should be a world wide bounty paid on members of al qaeda. Paid for from a fund provided by a coalition of civilized countries until these vermin are exterminated.

Is EAGLE that retarded??

Where was this dhimmi-slave with all his jihadist buds when they should had been protesting EN MASSE around the world against the failed bombing plots in Germany??

Where were all the angry, protesting muslims denouncing terrorism, bloodshed, and potential loss of infidel lives????

I did not see any protests against islamic terrorism in Germany and wondering why?

Maybe because ALL muslims are terrorists or helping the terrorists?

How do you explain that EAGLEMAN?

I demand an explanation post-haste mud-for-brians.

Why would he offer someone money to kill a person for god? And if he believes what hes doing is right then why doesn't he do it himself.
This is what i cant understand about muslims like bin laden. People would say that bin laden really believes what he is doing is right but he cant believe what he does 100% because he gets other people to kill themselves. why doesn't bin laden blow a plane full of kuffars up and go to paridise.

The Swedish Muslim Council definitely repudiates and at the same time condemns threats against individuals or Swedish institutions. We accept neither crimes nor ethical violations of everyone's right to live in security and to respectful treatment," it said in a statement.

For what I think is the most extensive collection of images of Muhammad throughout history, including the relief image on the US Supreme Court building (Mo is the one stupidly holding his sword by the blade),and the Gustave Dor illustration for Dante’s Divine Comedy:

Dante and Virgil in the Eighth Circle of Hell:
Inferno XXVIII, 19-42.

The poets are in the ninth
chasm of the eighth circle, that of the Sowers of
Discord, whose punishment is to be mutilated.
Mahomet shows his entrails to Dante and Virgil
while on the left stands his son Ali, his head cleft
from chin to forelock.

Guess the Divine Comedy needs to be purged from our libraries if we are to be sensitive toward Muslims.

In support of the rights of these and all cartoonists, anyone on any web forum can easily add his own typed Muhammad cartoon: this is an example (horizontal Mo with lit bomb on head)

The silver lining in this story is the same as with so many other ones similar to this, i.e., that Islam keeps revealing itself to the world at large as an intolerant and excessively violence-prone belief system. Radical Muslims (active believers) are everywhere mouthing and sometimes fulfilling the dictates of the Koran, Hadith and Islamic religious law. Moderate Muslims (passive believers) continue to reveal themselves as timid, confused, clueless and useless. In either case, the non-Muslim world, which is thankfully about 80% (wish it were ever higher) is slowly (a little too slow for my taste though) concluding that Islam is for psychopaths, losers and a whole host of other unwanted and unliked human beings. Muslims reading this, and their Western apologists, take note: Islam is daily being discredited in the eyes of the world by Muslims everywhere. And it will go on discrediting itself because it is the one major religion which is not intrinsically innocuous. The best ally for those of us who hold Islam in contempt is, ironically, Islam itself, which can't help manifesting its many malevolent and intolerant intentions to all of mankind.

When an Arab Muslim group in Iraq, in the middle of a war, takes the time to offer a large financial reward for the killing of a Swedish journalist living in Sweden, who may never have uttered the word "Iraq" in his life, but who did produce exactly one cartoon depicting Muhammad, the responsibliities of intelligent leaders in the Infidel world are not exhausted by deploring that death threat but in analyzing it. What makes these Muslims in Iraq decide to impose what they hope will be a death sentence to be carried out By Whom It May Concern -- which is to say, all Believers in the total-system, or cult of Islam?

What makes this unsurprising, and of a piece, with the rest of Islam -- for example, with the death sentences that are earned by those who apostatize from Islam or those who, like Salman Rushdie, mock Muhammad in print, or like those Infidels who helped Rushdie to do so by serving as his translators into Japanese, Finnish, Italian, and so on?

The Western world's rulers, those who presume to protect and instruct us, must now begin to learn about Islam. They have to. It is the minimum we have a right to demand of them. They cannot guess as to what Islam is, as Madeline Albright does in her appalling new book -- and Madeline Albright is now said to be one of Hillary Clinton's foreign policy advisers, along with light-fingered Sandy Berger, or the ambitious Richard Holbrooke, who is still convinced he did wonders in the Balkans, and is unlikely to ever study closely the matter of Islam, so fixed in his views must he be, given his personality, views that are based on his bringing-permanent-peace-to-the-Balkans moment of fame, in whcih Muslims were routinely cast, not quite accurately I'm afraid, as entirely innocent victims of maddened Serbs who had absolutely no justified reason to have any conceivable fears based on what Izetbegovic promised and what 400 years of history had taught them).

And it is not merely those who are "taking a leadership role" or advising those who are eager to "take a leadership role" in this tragico-comical age. There are armies of apologists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, who can be found in the press, radio, television. There are still other armies patrolling the corridors of MESA-Nostran groves-of-academe power, where these people have steadily insinuated themselves, hired one another, promoted one another, and have been quite successful at keeping down or out any of those who, in fact, are the real scholars of Islam, the kind of scholars that is who would be recognized as such by the great Western scholars of Islam who, in that century from roughly 1860 to 1960, studied and wrote, without pressures including but not limited to physical fear, about Islam.

So: why did Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia offer a reward for the killing of a Swedish cartoonist in Sweden, and why has not a single Muslim voice been raised in protest against this attempt to silence a Swede in Sweden, and to intimidate the entire Western world?

What is the reason? What, in the texts, can help us discover the reason? What are those texts, what are those tenets, what are those attitudes, what are the atmospherics of Islam?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali offers us her testimony in "Infidel." Ibn Warraq offers his testimony in "Why I Am Not a Muslim." Anwar Shaikh offers his testimony in "Islam, the Arab National Religion" and in many other books. Ali Sina offers his testimony, daily, at his important website www.faithfreedom.org. Wafa Sultan offers her testimony in appearances even, in one case, on AlJazeera, and in a forthcoming book. Everyone who is a thinking, rational doubting Muslim, but who still cannot quite, out of some kind of vestigial loyalty, whether it is filial piety to parents or grandparents, or some desire not to recognize Islam for what it is, for that would call into question too much of the civilization that one has needed to believe was once so splendid, so wonderful, needs to think about, and if possible to emulate, Ibn Warraq and Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Wafa Sultan, possibly by reading the texts of Islam more intently, and realizing fully what the primitive masses of Muslims have always, and will always, make of them -- and stop pretending otherwise.

The Muslim need to live in the past is based on a romantic view pf that supposedly wonderful Islamic past, its achievements either misunderstood (how many were merely borrowins from China, or India, or pre-Islamic Iran? how many were the individual achievements of Arabic-using Christians and Jews, or of "Muslims" who were only one or two generations away from being Christians or Jews or Zoroastrians or even Hindus, and who, given the still considerable numbers of non-Muslims in the societies they inhabited, were greatly influenced by, raised within, a setting that was not really Muslim at all, but something else.

The Western contribution to that view that began with Chateaubriand ("Le Dernier des Abencerages") and Washington Irving ("Tales of the Alhambra") and extends right up to Maria Rosa Menocal's "Ornament of the World," with its ignorance of history (see that bibliography that fails to mention such essential scholars of Andalucia as Evariste Levi-Provencal).

But there is no need for this. One need only return to the texts of Islam, the Muslim commentaries on those texts, the historical works on Islamic conquests, the studies of those Western scholars premeditatingly denounced, as a group by Said in his malevolent and comically inaccurate "Orientalism," return to the views on Islam uttered not by ignoramusses but by the most educated and intelligent of European and American statesmen or thinkers, such as John Quincy Adams, and Tocqueville, and Churchill -- expressed freely, that is, until the last few decades, when the Curtain of Fear and Dullness descended, covering all.

No, it's an inculcated trait designed to yield prerogative advantage. Pioneered by Mohammed on the burning sand streets of Mecca, victimism is now used not just by Moslems, but also by Afro-Americans, meso-American aborigines (i.e., illegal aliens from Mexico and south), homosexuals, and other groups designated to be protected classes by our self-loathing Congress and our Marxist Supreme Court.

Posted by: atheling at September 15, 2007 1:36 PM

Since the threat was issued by Al Qaeda, then many people will simply dismiss it as typical of the most extreme sect of Islam, and not of Islam itself. It's the same old problem: The belief that Islam is essentially peaceful and that a small minority of extremists misunderstands their religion. What a comforting delusion!

Question of the day.

If only 1% or even 10% of all muslims are true terrorists out to destroy and enslave the world, than where does that leave the remaining 99% or 90% of muslims who do nothing to control their out of control brethren?

Perhaps they would be called collaborationists?

I dont trust any of them.

Posted by: Hungarian Crusader at September 15, 2007 2:03 PM

Man sure wish I could tap in to all that Arabian largesse! All I would have to do is grow a beard like Adam Gadahn, start hanging out at the Masjiid down the street and recite the shahadah a few times.

Get some of that free petro cash floating around. Can't you see the draw that this could have to the underclass and disinfranchised? Scary... No wonder so many cons are falling for it. Not falling, just hoping that they can get some of that petro cash!

Well that's all suppostion right. The WaPo tells us that. Wait there are lots of institutions, enterprises and political entities who don't have to become Muslim to get some of that largesse. Just spin it the right way and you keep your job, you get the contracts, you get elected...

But for how long? You probably won't be around when it becomes a problem? Right? Not your worry...

Just wait. Like Baát Yeór says: When they reach 10%,, you better start worrying.

Just thinking out loud...

Hungarian:

Exactly. I refuse to even argue the point anymore. They ALL have to own terrorism. The blood is on ALL of them. You may as well wander into a nuthouse and try to find a reasonable person as argue with Muslims. They have four backup lies for every lie. Lying and deception are systemic, and if it takes 9 liars per terrorist, well, that is all part of the plan.
It is no wonder they are defensive. You would be defensive too if the whole world looked upon you as a pox to humanity.

If I had my druthers, Western counter-bounties would be offered, or Western operators would make disappear those who issue death fatwas against persons whose only "crime" is criticism of Islam. When I say "make disappear," I mean either indefinitely into some hidden prison, or "permanently." Islamic violence and incitements to violence against journalists, cartoonists, teachers, writers, democratic politicians, feminists, you, and me, must be deterred. Or if deterrence is not possible, crushing the perpetrators should be.

Though even I think it was tasteless & unnecessary, this hyperreaction by islamists clearly shows their insecurity of their own beliefs...
...those who are confident and secure in their beliefs have no need to be hyperdefensive in their defense of the same...thus, it tells us rational folks they really aren't secure in their beliefs, and prone to scrutiny that will expose something they're not prepared to deal with...like fraud cults always do.

Posted by: jcom972 at September 15, 2007 7:03 PM

I have no idea why these Muslim idiots get pissed about someone making a cartoon about Islam. The whole damned religion is a laugh. Where else would a preacher call for a death? We need to stop putting up with their tantrums. Like any kid, they are asking for a hot ass (a spanking). Giving in to these protestations is the beginning of a flood of the same.

Good idea to make them "disappear." How about into a tight security mental ward.

After all, anyone who thinks their religion requires them to be complacent while other members are planning or conspiring to committing murders, is NUTS! Lock them up.

To order a killing like that, he better be ready to get what he gives. It's time we went on the offensive and started taking out those who conspire to commit murder. I don't care what god they are using to justify it.
Allah is NOT my God. My God says, "thou shalt not kill."
