It has been so easy for so many in the West to miss the point of the Muhammad cartoon controversy. In the wake of the jihad attack on the AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas in May, so many people who should have known better said, “Well, you deliberately provoked them. You poked them in the eye. You have the freedom of speech, yes, but you shouldn’t go around mocking other people’s religions.”
Very well, but the point of the event was not in the least to mock Islam or insult Muslims. The point was to say to the Islamic supremacist bullies who were killing people and threatening to kill more if they drew cartoons that we would not submit to violent intimidation. The point was to say that we would not enable, reward and encourage that violent intimidation by giving in to the bully. Everyone should have supported that — instead of handing the foes of free speech and free society yet another victory, which is what all too many people did.
Now Adel Daoud, accused of plotting jihad mass murder, is facing new accusations that he seriously injured a fellow inmate over a cartoon of Muhammad. This article doesn’t say whether the inmate drew one or simply approved of its being done, but it’s the same either way: Adel Daoud, by assaulting this man, demonstrates once again what’s at stake: either we submit before the Adel Daouds of the world, and say, “Please don’t hurt us, we won’t draw Muhammad anymore,” and thereby establish the principle that Islamic supremacists can get us to do what they want by means of threats and murder, or we stand in defiance of this evil.
It’s one or the other. There is, ultimately, no third choice.
“Chicago Terrorism Suspect Accused of Assaulting Inmate,” Associated Press, August 18, 2015:
A suburban Chicago man awaiting trial on terrorism charges has been indicted on charges of assaulting a fellow inmate at a federal jail in Chicago.
Adel Daoud appeared in U.S. District Court on Tuesday for an initial hearing in the new case. He faces five counts related to the alleged assault, including that he used a makeshift weapon and that the alleged victim was seriously injured.
Defense attorney Thomas Durkin told a judge that the alleged attack was prompted by Daoud’s anger over a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.
Daoud has denied that he accepted a phony car bomb from an undercover FBI agent, parked it by a downtown Chicago bar and pressed a trigger. He’s also accused of trying to have that FBI agent killed following his arrest.

Scholars Are Asking: Was The “Prophet” Muhammad Actually A DINOSAUR?
An obscure yet eminent theolinguist has recently determined that the Quranic word Kafir, mistakenly translated as “Infidel” or “Disbeliever” for many centuries until today, was in fact originally used by the “Prophet” Muhammad simply to mean a Non-Dinosaur.
But after Muhammad died, human beings eventually gained control of Muhammad’s religion, and deviously changed the meaning of the word Kafir, thereby turning Islam completely away from its original purpose as conceived and revealed by the “Prophet” Muhammad — who simply desired to slay or subjugate the pesky Non-Dinosaurs.

You should apologize to innocent Dinosaurs who might be offended.
Oops You can’t do that because they are dead too, just like the Islamic Profession of Hate and Islam that has no soul or spiritual dimension and cannot survive for on minute in the full light of day without enemies to feed off just to rationalize its existence.
Much like bacteria.

Jay Boo, you just gave me my first laugh of the day! 🙂 The rest of your comment is also perfect.

Reverence for Islam’s mascot — or just nominal (Desperation)?
Presumably the reason for violence is to display their deep “reverence” of Muhammad.
Given Muhammad’s disgraceful lifestyle choices and the very fragile foundation of his hoax of Islam it is understandable why Muslims would be exceedingly defensive at the slightest criticism of Muhammad that threatens to shake Islam foundation to its rotted core resting on a pile of dead bodies beneath a layer of Islamic green fungus.
This explains the insecure Muslim preemptive use of attributes PBUH and SAW to give the impression that the honoree in question is above all reproach lest anyone might suspect otherwise.

The other inmate might not have been Caucasian, either. Just a thought and reflection.

Message of Western cultural Marxists: “We KNOW Muslims are dark-skinned barbarians! That’s why we don’t expect them to live up to our civilized standards of behavior! We EXPECT Muslim to behave like savages! They can’t help it. We must TOLERATE their lack of tolerance!”
In other words, let the savages wreck the place…and Westerners will take it like a man.

so true , its like we are living in a dream
but what do you expect
if not for jihad watch where would we find this stuff at
Judi says
ich – Dream……more like a nightmare!
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer–the bigotry of low expectations.
Of course, we have no reason to expect civilized behavior from Mohammedans–but that doesn’t mean that we should enable their barbarism or censor ourselves so that they won’t be “offended”.
Angemon says
Indeed.

“the point of the event was not in the least to mock Islam or insult Muslims.”
I have to question this. I understand that the purpose was to stand up for free speech but most of the cartoons did actually mock Mohammed, who is the centre of Islam as far as I can see. Not that I object to that. In fact I think it’s our duty to ridicule the ridiculous and the Mo/Allah combo certainly is that.
vlparker says
The point was to tell ISIS, al qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezballah and all the rest of the Islamic supremacists to go to hell. You will not tell us what we can and cannot draw. Period.
Infidel Task Force says
THIS is Islam. We will reach a point that people will say: “Stop with the Mohammed cartoons. DO you want us all dead?”
And once we stop drawing and displaying Mohammed cartoons, what will be next?
New Fatwas from ISIS: (Satire folks. Don’t panic)
1)Any store, market or shop selling pork products will be attacked and the people inside killed for Allah
2) All dogs shall be put down. Owners found with a dog shall find Allah and both will be put down)
3) Every woman on this planet shall wear the burqa or face death.
4) Everything possible for eating will be HALAL certified. Those opposing will feel the wrath of Allah.
5) No more statements of Islamic blasphemy.
6) All anti Islamic web sites will be attacked and shut down.
This is just the beginning. People of every nation will obey Mohammeds laws or face death.)
(OK, like I said. The above is just satire. But what if Mohammed cartoons is just the beginning. What if some of the above actually start coming true? Then what do we do? Kneel down and accept? Or do we finally start to fight back? Do you think they’ll stop at cartoons?) -BBJ
ich says

Of course, this is not satire, ITF. This is *exactly* what life is like under Shari’ah, and we are edging closer to it all the time, even here in the (so far) free West.
pdxnag says
What about all those people who “provoke” Putin and then magically cease to provoke anybody any more? Was it their own damn fault for opposing tyranny? It is perfectly acceptable to oppose tyranny and tyrants long before they secure an unshakable grip on “government.”
gravenimage says
We need to oppose tyranny everywhere, pdxnag. Islam is by far the worst threat of tyranny in the world today, but it is not the only one.
Westman says
This fellow, Adel Daoud, doesn’t seem to know that when you’ve dug yourself into a hole, it’s time to stop digging. It’s the usual hyrophobia syndrome – bite every infidel until put down.

There’s nothing quite like a Mahound cartoon to make Mahoundians furious…Pure fury is a gift from Allah..
When someone in the institution expresses pure fury, they are strapped to a bed and injected with happy juice…We don’t allow no pure fury around here, that’s why we have bingo games, finger painting and checkers, lots and lots of checkers to calm the savage breast…If that doesn’t work it’s ‘shock treatments’…
Mulakush says
The point was to expose the idiotic nature of Islamic ideas for many purposes:
-Help move Muslims forward.
-Help move societies mired in Islam abandon reckless beliefs and move forward.
-By extension, make this entire planet a better place to live.
D.C. Watson says
Ridicule those who constantly demonstrate through their words and deeds that they deserve to be ridiculed. Those who cannot co-exist in modern society should not be appeased, but be shown the door. An asshole is an asshole, and if they wish to not be called one, they should refrain from behaving like one. The 1400 year-long history of this this bologna sandwich belief system and its founder have done nothing to deserve the world’s respect, and the free people of this world owe it nothing.

one would think the jailers would have learned to keep the moslems to themselves by now – that mixing them with unbelievers is deadly to the unbelievers
