UPDATE: Here’s a video preview of Peaceful Death Threats, along with some commentary by me on my proof copy of the book.
My Introduction to my new book, Peaceful Death Threats:
If I didn’t draw Mohammad cartoons, Muslims would be peaceful?
Some Muslims actually believe that, and they act as if my “terrorism”, (yes, they call my cartoons “terrorism”, as you’ll see in the pages ahead) must be responded to in kind, with terrorism, even though they’re “peaceful”.
If you want to maintain your illusions that “Islam means peace” and that “99.9% of Muslims are peace-loving”, then this book is not for you, as you’re either a Muslim or you might as well make it official and become one. If you can’t imagine threatening to murder cartoonists over cartoons, then this book is for you.
Islam wasn’t “hijacked” by jihadists, peace was hijacked by Muslims. In my acceptance speech after I won the Mohammad cartoon contest, I asked the audience, “Why do you think we have this kind of security?”, and as the audience started to applaud, and even laugh, as they had a good idea where I was going with it, I said that it was because Islam did not mean peace. The Only reason any of us are talking about Islam is because it doesn’t mean peace. Islam hasn’t given us any reason to talk about it outside of our concern over it.
When a lone evil scumbag goes on a shooting spree in America, the “national conversation” is that it has something to do with America, that it says something about us, and that we all have to answer for it in some way. Only self-loathing leftists would define America by a small minority of evil scumbags. Yet when daily atrocities are committed by Muslims across the world, the “national conversation” crowd tells us that it “has nothing to do with Islam”, while also saying that we had it coming. They live for a chance to condemn America for things it’s not responsible for, and to exonerate Islam for things it is responsible for. These “national conversationalists” don’t want a conversation about Islam, about jihad, or about the truth. And the “national conversation” that needs to take place is about Islam and its calls for violence against non-Muslims.
As for “nice Muslims”, especially those in the West, they embody Western values that they fancifully attribute to Islam, and it’s left to “mean” people like me to have to point that fact out. The reason why many of us choose to define Islam by the behavior of its least devout Muslims is because devout Muslims are monsters. But of course, in this increasingly truthless world we’re living in, merely pointing that fact out makes me a monster.
I got a wave of death threats a few months ago from Muslims the likes of which I’ve never experienced, and my life has not been the same. Thousands of Muslims from across the world, with many from Pakistan, threatened to murder me after I was announced as the judge for a new Mohammad cartoon contest that Geert Wilders announced in the summer of 2018. Many of the threats were monotonous and I couldn’t keep up with all of them, as they came from all corners of the internet, from social media, email, YouTube, my blog, and I even got audio death threats in Facebook messenger. So the threats in this book are the “best” 400 of them.
Since I’ve been called “the most dangerous man in comics”, this book has the potential to be my most “dangerous” one yet, as it will make it more difficult for some among us to maintain their illusions about Islam and its “peaceful” followers. My “co-writers” in this book are average, everyday Muslims who think it’s normal to threaten to rape and murder a cartoonist over Mohammad cartoons. They and their culture are not to be “understood”, but condemned. This book is a good document to show that Islamic culture, at large, is a problem, and that Muslims at large want cartoonists who draw Mohammad to be murdered, by their hand, or by the hands of their more devout co-religionists. All of the thousands of Muslims who wrote me death threats want me dead, and those who didn’t write me would likely celebrate if I were murdered, or at “best”, would “understand” why I had to die. “Not all Muslims”? Not One Muslim wrote me to say, “I may not like what you do, and I may even hate it, but you have the right to draw whatever you want, and you shouldn’t be threatened or killed over it.”
Not one.
When the Muslims who’ve threatened me hear of this book, what do you think their response would be that their threats were published, and that they inspired 60 new Mohammad cartoons by me? More threats.
The threats in this book are from Muslim students, doctors, engineers, musicians, etc., and I think that will be a revelation for some, for those who still cling to the idea that it’s only “extremists” who are the problem, because seeing is believing. Seeing death threats along with the names and pictures of average Muslims might open some eyes.
After years of getting death threats, they’ve become white noise to me, in a way. They’re meant to scare me into silence and inaction, but I’m more likely to laugh at them than be terrified. But I do pause at times, at the casual, decadent evil of it all, and the mass support that it gets from far more Muslims than many would like to believe. What did Muslims do after the massacre of Charlie Hebdo? They callously ran over the dead bodies of the murdered innocents to defend Mohammad, who murdered innocents. Islam didn’t teach them to live and let live, despite whatever criticism came their way, Islam taught them that the answer to criticism is murder. That the first, natural, Islamic response is murder.
Regarding my new Mohammad cartoons in this book: I think it’s important to show Mohammad, the murderous figure who inspires Muslims to murder, alongside screenshots of the death threats over my Mohammad cartoons, which inspired even more Mohammad cartoons by me.
And to those who’ve dismissed me when I say that Hitler is Islam’s favorite Infidel, there were endless Muslims who expressed their admiration for Hitler to me, and I have a page of the “best” ones in this book, where I draw Hitler as Mohammad.
I’m well aware that most of these threats are just talk, however obscene that talk is, but unlike members of other groups, Muslims are more prone to back up their threats with violent action, and so I take their threats more seriously than I do the threats of others. And some of them get very specific and personal.
It’s one thing for Muslims to have their prohibitions, but it’s quite another thing for them to try to force their prohibitions on us. Since 9/11, we’ve waged war the way Muslims wage peace, and we’re gong to have to learn how to wage war, in order to have peace.
Peace.

Here’s where I will be signing the book, on the opening page, first page, title page.

And to those who’ve dismissed me when I say that Hitler is Islam’s favorite Infidel, there were endless Muslims who expressed their admiration for Hitler to me,
I sort of dabble in WW2 history and you would be amazed how much Nazi propaganda, photos, books, and other paraphernalia was found by American GI Joes and British Tommies when they advanced against Axis forces in North Africa.
gravenimage says
Yes–pious Muslims *hate* Infidels, but are willing to make an exception for possibly the most evil man in history. This says a lot.
Naildriver says
The most evil was Mohammed(PUBH not): and Muslims are expected to emulate him as the most virtuous.
Certainly the use of scapegoats, as the Jews; and employing man’s natural inclinations to lust, greed, hate, violence, fear, and lies etc, to sustain and perpetuate his power, were most successfully employed by Mohammed This to the degradation of millions upon millions of people, and the ruination and deaths of those millions who opposed him, with their cultures destroyed by his minions.
gravenimage says
This is certainly true, Naildriver.
Indiana Tom says
My favorite image of Mohammad. This guy is the picture perfect image of his ancestor.

Whitey Mo
My favorite teaching about muhammed{after the Cross-dressing sahih Bukhari 2442}….
“When Ubaydullah saw him he said “This muhammed of yours is FAT and a DWARF”
Abu Dawud 40:4731
wow!
Is that Perfect Mo?He seems to have let himself go….
Do you know what is the WORST possible depiction in islam of muhammed the whitest man of all time,the most terrible insult,so terrible that it merited immediate execution…?
“Whoever says the prophet is BLACK is killed.The prophet was NOT BLACK”
Ash shifa
So any depiction of muhammed{APFh,allah prays for him} as a BLACK man is absolutely out of the question{probably because in islam satan is a BLACK man(ibn ishaq 243)}
Imagine the riots in Pakistan if the truth about muhammed was know{Ubaydullah’s startling revelation which belies the idea of muhammed the Perfect Man}and a cartoon of muhammed as a BLACK man appeared.
Drawing a picture of muhammed is bad enough.
Drawing a picture of muhammed as a BLACK MAN is unforgivable and demands the death penalty.
Ahmed: So, I saw that Ubaydullah said muhammed was a Fat Dwarf:is that OK to say?
Ali: well,it is in Abu Dawud 40 so we can’t deny it:it is part of official islamic teachings.
Ahmed: say,do you think muhammed was a….. BLACK MAN?
muslims: KILL him!Cut his head off,burn his house down and kill all his farm animals!Ahmed has insulted our holy “prophet”!”The prophet was NOT BLACK”!Death is the only solution!
Indiana Tom says
Someone really needs to draw this episode.

I extend to you again, Bosch Fawstin, my admiration for your talent, your keen insight into what Islam really is about and your courage. For those who cherish freedom and truth, your name should be well known among such people.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks, Wellington.

Hear, hear!

Thanks, Bosch, for caring about freedom so much. Love and hugs.

It looks very interesting and informative. And the faces are enough to give one nightmares. isalm is a nightmare, and a day mare too. Thanks for exposing it in such an illustrative way.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks, somehistory
somehistory says
You know how h clinton when meeting with the oic in 2011, said they would need to “shame” Americans into silence due to the First Amendment….
Well, I think your book should shame moslims into leaving islam, seeing as how it is murder on any grounds…they should all be so very ashamed. If not enough to leave it, enough to behave themselves in a humane and reasonable manner. Perhaps some will.
James Lincoln says
Bosch Fawstin says:
“Islam hasn’t given us any reason to talk about it outside of our concern over it.”
Living in the United States as a US citizen / medical student prior to the 1979 Iranian revolution, I knew nothing about Islam. My priorities were women, cars, beer, rock ‘n roll – and, surprisingly, keeping up with my studies. I hardly even read the newspaper.
I wish that I still had the luxury of knowing nothing about Islam, but those days are long gone.
somehistory says
James Lincoln
I too, was rather ignorant of islam during those years. Working and taking care of a young family, no time for television. or newspapers Even the hostage thing in Iran didn’t hit me as a “religious” thing, but more of a “hate America”…like many other places have expressed at different times. I have since watched many television shows made during those years and am amazed at the number of times moslims were mentioned, but without any real information. Much like saying, horses, dogs, birds, and dinosaurs without giving any facts on the latter.
It would be great if islam were benign and we didn’t need to know. But not knowing is really dangerous.
gravenimage says
Agreed, James. Most people here would have no more interest in Islam than in other non-Western faiths such as Hinduism or Zoroastrianism–and probably less than in Buddhism–were it not for the terrible threat it presents.
eduardo odraude says
I just ordered a signed copy.
Bosch, I’ve collected a few dozen links to news stories about public figures (artists, teachers, comedians, writers, scientists) and public institutions (museums, universities) admitting to self-censorship in response to death threats from Muslims. I expect there are hundreds of news stories out there about this. I wonder if in future you would find such a collection of news stories useful for an expansion of this comic book. If so, I’d send you the links I’ve collected.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks, Eduardo, and my next book, after I release the fourth issue of Pigman, is called Islam Bitches, which is just that, caricatures and quotes from the worst Islam Bitches in the world, from actors to politicians, etc., But I would like a link to your collection, as it could prove useful.
gravenimage says
I am glad to see you calling out this cringing dhimmitude, Bosch. Look forward to reading the book.

Bosch Fawstin: Peaceful Death Threats
……………….
I’m really glad to see this story here! After the last story about Bosch Fawstin’s work–“Bosch Fawstin: My Mohammad Cartoons Vol. 2” from last week–I thought that it would be great if Jihad Watch covered this book, as well. I’ve had the book myself for a few weeks now.
“Peaceful Death Threats” is a disturbing and deeply troubling book–it is also, thanks to Fawstin’s talent and brave sense of humor and irony, immensely entertaining. It is also full of his witty illustrations
It is also notable how much of a piece these death threats are, even though they come from many parts of the world, differing levels of competency with the English language, and from male and female Muslims, young and old. The brutality of many of these threats–many of which go into gruesome detail, and often also include threats of rape and harm to loved ones and family members–are striking. Many also include images of guns, bloody knives, Hitler, and dead Jews in concentration camps. Also striking is the sense of victimhood–that cartoons are “hurting” Muslims, and that they are hence forced to issue death threats, even thought they are supposedly so “peaceful”.
Another thing that is revealed is the essential impotency of so many Muslims–these threats are full of ludicrous false heroics and empty posturing.
Finally, the most striking of all thing to me was what these interminable messages–there are over 400 in the book, and many more that Fawstin received that were not included–is that as Fawstin notes not a *single* Muslim wrote to say that he defended the cartoonist’s right to freedom of speech. Telling.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks, GI, as always, for your kind words, and for your support. And I particularly appreciate that you found Peaceful Death Threats to be entertaining, all things considered, because it was for me. It’s Mad that people threaten to Murder over cartoons, and while we need to defend ourselves from such savages, we also have to mock them.
gravenimage says
I agree, Bosch–there is so much worthy of being mocked here.
And during WWII, part of the effort against the Fascists was mocking Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, and all their evil stupidity. It should be the same with Islam.
Wellington says
Enthusiastically seconded, gravenimage. Next best thing to crushing evil is to mock it.

All readers of JW must read this article. Robert Spencer may also read this. very wonderfully written..

James says
So the condemnation is not for the shooter, but for those unutterable monsters and enemies of the human race Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller.
Such perverse refusal to condemn the Religion Of Terror seems to be typical of Western Dhimmis. It is not remotely a rational reaction. Sane people do not suck up to, defend, pander to, and invite further hordes of those who wish to destroy their culture and rape, sodomise, traffick in, murder, subjugate, mutilate. torture. enslave, crucify, burn, drown, vehicular jihadify, and blow up them.
Carolyne says
The Muslim’s standard answer to anything which offends them (which is most everything) is “I keel you.”. I think if I had heard George Bush say “Islam is a religion of peace” one more time I would have upchucked. But then I don’t have money invested in Saudi Arabia.
UNCLE VLADDI says
I just ordered me one!
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks, UV, I appreciate your support.
commonsense says
I just ordered a copy, myself. Couldn’t resist. Bosch Fawstin is an exceedingly brave individual, and I wish to lend my support by purchasing this book. Ironically, as an ex-Muslim, Fawstin knows that his gift for illustration would be disparaged and suppressed under Islam. I find it unfathomable that a talented illustrator and commercially successful musician – the lunatic convert to Islam formerly known as Cat Stevens – would embrace a religion whose theology bans him from engaging in either pursuit, although he seems to get around this proscription on music as entertainment by using his performance gigs as a form of da’wa.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thanks for ordering it, commonsense, I appreciate it.
