UK Islamic group condemns website featuring cartoons of Muhammad and Jesus, issues veiled threat

“Insisting that it respects freedom of speech and artistic expression, the MAB however questioned ‘the wisdom of any individual or organization that places at risk the dignity and values of anyone else, even if they might not hold those values.'” What is unwise about doing such a thing? Why, you might get blown up or beheaded.

“UK Islamic group condemns website featuring cartoons of Prophet Mohamed and Jesus,” by Amer Sultan for Ahram Online, January 21:

One of the most influential Islamic organisations in the UK has slammed a website that publishes cartoons featuring Prophet Mohamed and Jesus.

The website, Jesus and Mo, features a weekly comic strip in which the two prophets debate and joke about the central tenets of Islam and Christianity.

The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) published a statement saying that the images were “extremely offensive to believers” of the two faiths and “potentially inflammatory,” and urged the website’s operators to take down the comics at once.

The MAB added that the depiction of the two prophets was “as insulting as those published in Denmark,” referring to the 12 editorial cartoons depicting Prophet Mohamed that were printed in a Danish newspaper in 2005, sparking widespread anger and protests.

Insisting that it respects freedom of speech and artistic expression, the MAB however questioned “the wisdom of any individual or organization that places at risk the dignity and values of anyone else, even if they might not hold those values.”

Threat noted.

    A show of hands on agreement that this group, the MAB, should insist that all followers of Islam should take a long look in the mirror prior to :

    “questioned [ing] ‘the wisdom of any individual or organization [like Islam] that places at risk the dignity and values of anyone else”

    mohammedans may be offended, but Jesus is not …

    After-all Jesus forgave those that crucified Him:

    Question: “Why did Jesus say ‘Father, forgive them’ on the cross?”

    Answer: Jesus’ words “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing” are found in Luke 23:34. Jesus looked down from the cross upon the scene that was most distressing to Him. The Roman soldiers were casting lots for His clothing (John 19:23–24); the criminals on the crosses to either side of Him were reviling Him (Matthew 27:44); the religious leaders were mocking Him (Matthew 27:41–43); and the crowd was blaspheming Him (Matthew 27:39). Jesus looked down upon this most unworthy lot and said, “Father, forgive them.” How could this be?

    It is in fact ISLAM that “places at risk the dignity and values of ” everyone else. May the MAB choke on its own drivel.

    I so care how the Muslim Association of Dumb-ass (MAD) wants British culture to develop.

    I will always be grateful to the MAB.

    I didn’t know ‘Jesus and Mo’ existed! Now I’ve got years of hilarious cartoons to read!

    Thanks, Mohammedan Ar*se Bangers!

    Living in India and the Middle East I see how the Muslims do not respect the values of others! But constantly demean others!

    They are trying to impose Sharia blasphemy laws upon UK without anyone’s consent.

    Sharia insists dirty kafirs (like you) may not ‘MENTION’ Mohammed, let alone find fault with his actions, words or character. If you find any fault with Mohammed, any Muslim may behead you without any punishment. They are making a death threat. We cannot have people in the West who have laws they consider make them in charge of speech! Muslims ALL want to destroy our freedom and way of life. They ALL do, but only a few have the guts to admit it openly.

    The ‘insult’ in the cartoon was to the majority of MUSLIMS who are at best functionally illiterate and DON’T READ BOOKS or anything else. The cartoon PERFECTLY CAPTURES the delusion of Muslims that ‘IF IT ISN’T IN THE KORAN, IT IS SUPERFLUOUS!’

    To quote Stephen Fry:
    “You’re offended, so fucking what?”

    Mortimer, it’s time we took back ownership of the word “kafir” much as “African-Americans” have taken back ownership of the “n” word…be a proud kafir!

    All this “offend” dignity, risk being “inflammatory,” etc. (1) Does everyone know the work of psychologist Nicolai Sennels? He says the “locus of control” of many people in the West is internal, we (at least should) monitor our own responses, whereas with some other groups… the locus is external. As in, like, “s/he made me beat up or rape etc.” (2) Plus maybe a second cause is theo-historical, the need to respect, not blaspheme, etc. Well anyhow S. Fry’s comment “You’re offended, so fxckxng what?” goes on my list of Zingers for the Counter-Jihadists……
