Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Palestinians” call female cartoonist “Zionist agent,” “traitor” and “prostitute” for criticizing Hamas and Islamic Jihad

But surely only a Tiny Minority of Extremists support Hamas and Islamic Jihad, right? Surely the Vast Majority of Moderates rushed to her aid, didn’t they?

“Female Palestinian cartoonist threatened after critique of Islamic Jihad, Hamas,” by Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post, January 23 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

[A] Palestinian cartoonist has come under fire because she published a cartoon that enraged Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

The controversial cartoon refers to Hamas efforts to rein in Islamic Jihad’s military wing, Al-Quds Battalions, whose members are believed to have been behind recent rocket and mortar attacks from the Gaza Strip.

The cartoon by Majedah Shaheen depicts Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh asking his dog to “calm down.” The dog represents the Al-Quds Battalions.

Following strong condemnations and threats, Shaheen published an apology on her Facebook account.

“I wish to apologize for the cartoon I published about Hamas and the Al-Quds Battalions,” she wrote. “My intention was to relay a message in a clear and firm manner. But there are many who prefer to deal with the issue in an artificial manner instead of making an attempt to understand the idea behind it.”

The apology has failed to calm many Palestinians, who posted abusive comments against her on Facebook, denouncing her has a “Zionist agent,” “traitor” and “prostitute.”

    They don’t want an apology–they want blood, and to demonize her in the process; which is such a typical mohammedan response.

    Life without integrity and truth is not worth living. The lies of Islam, the circular reasoning, the assassinations will not hold. With the internet there is no escape from the truth. There will be more like Majedah Shaheen. She is not alone. So she will never be silenced. The counterjihad is going to increase as Islam implodes on its own lies. In the end, every Islamic dictatorship is the same. They all imitate Mohammed who was assassinated by his two closest associates, Abu Bakr and Omar. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

    I wouldn’t worry about Hamas, it will be soon eliminated.

    “Gaza is our next stop,” an anonymous egyptian senior official declared, and he explained that it was necessary to topple Hamas to smash the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

    Ridicule of islam and mohammed should be a primary weapon. Islam cannot stand up to the truth or a sense of humor.

    ……………………………..

    Of course they do.

    ……………………………..

    I wouldn’t count on it—of course, cartoonists who dare to criticize Islam have found few real supporters, even in the West…

    Of course, Hamas is not really anti-Jihad terrorism, either.

    And how do Muslims respond? As they do to everything else, with threats and worse…

    I hope this cartoonist is able to stay safe.

    Is this the same Ismael Haniyeh who sent his sister’s husband to Isreal for medical treatment. Not to Egypt , Saudi Arabia , Dubai , Syria , Iran but ISRAEL. The hypocrisy of these pieces of sh*t is staggering beyond belief.
