And you thought cartoon characters that inspire children to jump out of windows to see if they can fly were bad. "Pictured: The TV rabbit preaching hatred and telling young Muslims to 'kill and eat Jews,'" from the Daily Mail, July 23:
An Islamic TV station using a Bugs Bunny lookalike to preach hatred to children has been slammed by religious leaders in the UK who fear it could brainwash vulnerable British children.If that is the case, surely the Association of Muslim Schools -- and Muslims all around the world -- should unequivocally denounce Hamas as apostates.Assud the rabbit, who vows to 'kill and eat Jews' and glorifies the maiming of 'infidels' appears on Palestinian children's show, Tomorrow's Pioneers.
[...]In one episode, Assud admits stealing money and is seen begging for mercy after young viewers and parents phone in demanding his hands are cut off as punishment.
At that point the 11-year-old presenter intervenes - and rules that the bunny should only have his ears severed because he has repented.
The rabbit is played by an actor in fancy dress and is one of the main characters on the show broadcast in Gaza by the al-Aqsa channel - known as Hamas TV.
[...]The Association of Muslim Schools, which represents the UK's 143 Muslim schools, said it was opposed to any shows that incite violence.
Spokesman Dr Mohamed Mukadam said: 'It goes without saying that any programme which promotes the killing or injuring of human beings is wrong.
'Regardless of religion, shows that incite or inspire others to inflict violence of any kind should be condemned.
'Such shows are against the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, and we would urge people of all ages not to watch them.'
Set up as a regional station prior to the Palestinian elections in January 2006, al-Aqsa TV now airs on a satellite slot.It broadcasts what many call a mixture of news of Islamic propaganda, but has picked up a substantial following across the Arabic-speaking world.
[...]The show originally featured a Mickey Mouse-style character called Farfur who urged children to fight against the Jewish community and form a world Islamic state.
Farfur was later replaced by a bumble bee called Nahoul, who told viewers to 'follow the path of Islam, of martyrdom and of the Mujahideen'.
He was 'martyred' earlier this year and replaced by Assud, who tells children in his first episode: 'I, Assud, will get rid of the jews, Allah willing, and I will eat them up.'
In a discussion with 11-year-old host Saraa Barhoum, the young viewers are referred to as 'soldiers'.
Assud asks Saraa: 'We are all martyrdom-seekers, are we not?'.
To which she replies: 'Yes, we are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland.'
The phone-in show accepts calls from children as young as nine on topics about life in Palestine.
During one show broadcast in February, Assud vows to kill and eat all Danish people over the cartoon images of the Prophet Muhammad which appeared in a newspaper.
He also pledges to assassinate the illustrator and Saraa also agrees that she would martyr herself for the cause of Palestine.
[...]Al-Aqsa was today unavailable for comment.

"The phone-in show accepts calls from children as young as nine..."
Is this a mating service?
BTW, were flesh-eating rabbits created before, at the same time or after the spying squirrels and eviction rats?

In the sane world, carnivorous rabbits would give childern nightmares.

The scariest thing about this show is that Saraa may someday become an adult.

"Assud the rabbit, who vows to 'kill and eat Jews'..."
"What's up, doc"...
I know they want to kill Jews and every other infidel, but eat them as well? So in addition to being jehadi's, they want to be cannibals.
Is there no end?

For a long time I believed that cannabalism was one crime that Moslems could not be accused of. It seems I was mistaken.
But would a pork- and beer-fed Dane be halal? Perhaps kosher-observant Jews would be acceptable, but, still, they drink wine, so they're contaminated too. That leaves basically only other Moslems. A little roast suckling Sunni, anyone? Or maybe some Shia stew?
As an aside note, I'd be very wary about eating at any Moslem restaurant or fast-food stand. Who knows what the meat in that doner-kebab or those stuffed grape leaves really is?

At that point the 11-year-old presenter intervenes - and rules that the bunny should only have his ears severed because he has repentedTouching. But doesn't this constitute innovation (I forget the original term) in Islam, which is haram? And that too, coming from true-green (or black?) Hamas, rather than pink Fatah.
Anyway, has Assud lost his ears as yet? Updates, Memri viewers?

thanks wiki - it's bid'ah

Talk of Islamic cannibalism is foolish. When a rabbit eats a man, that is not cannibalism. Stoooopidism yes, but cannibalism no.
Monty Python was right, the rabbit is a killer!

Saraa has served with three costumed co-hosts to date--why hasn't this kid been married off yet? I understand that's the custom over there . . .

The bunny will go the same way as the mouse and the bee. I'm predicting that the bunny -- with or without his ears -- will be killed by either the Jews or the Christians.

True enough. But in this case the "rabbit" is clearly a stand-in for a human. It speaks a human language (Arabic, I suppose), and wears clothing. Real rabbits don't do those things either. And rabbits can't be considered thieves, but this one is threatened with the punishment Mohammad ordained for human thieves. Likewise, Farfur the rat, and Nahoul the bee were stand-in humans. They fought the evil Zionists and were "martyred". That sounds awfully like blasphemy to me: it suggests that animals can believe in Allah, and be good Moslems. If so, then maybe any animal can be a Moslem, and eating any meat is a form of cannibalism. At least it's eating a fellow-believer. Maybe Allah is trying to tell the Moslems something with the recent cases of "Allah" being written in the gristle of a beef-steak, or in the scales of a fish.
Or maybe they only eat the non-believing animals: a mufti questions the sheep or chicken about Islam before it is butchered, and if the creature doesn't respond "Allah akbar", then it's a non-believer, and fit for the slaughter. (Just like humans).

"Shia stew". Hilarious.
Thanks for the morning smile, ebonystone.

That stew tastes like shiite.

Well it's nice to know my tax goes to support such a place as palestine....
I feel quite sick and dirty now, knowing that my hard earned contribution to my country is spent on this.
I feel dirty because my government is funding death and hatred....
I talked to a moslem and he said that if I wash myself, I'll feel clean. Apparently, he washes several times a day so feels clean and pure at the same time as hating jews, infidels, women, etc, etc.
