Bombing of the Nairobi, Kenya, US embassy

On 7 August 1998 hundreds of people were killed and more than 4,000 injured in simultaneous truck bomb explosions at the United States embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The Egyptian Islamic Jihad members responsible for the bombings knew that at most only a dozen Americans worked at the embassies and that many times more Muslims would be killed; despite that, they were still willing to kill many Muslims even if only a few Americans died. The reason? Muslims who died would be rewarded in Paradise, so it doesn't matter how many died, Allah would sort it out.

iCharlie the Kosher Cocker-Spaniel: Happy Passover

A Muslim viewing this YouTube video of Charlie the Kosher Cocker-Spaniel might think it's an insult to Jews. That perhaps some anti-Semite put a Yarmulke on a dog to show that Jews are just like filthy dogs. But he would be wrong. Anyone looking at this video can tell it was scripted by a Jew. Who else would have this great sense of humor?

Looking at comments on blogs from obvious Muslims, we see them all singing the same song: Suppose it was Jesus who was mocked? News Flash to all Muslims and Imams over the world: You are reading from a script written by someone who has never been to the West. Christians do not riot when...

We have seen these posters before: "Behead those who insult Islam" and "Butcher those who mock Islam" and "Slay those who disrespect Islam". For the Muslim faithful, freedom of expression is an impediment to the spread of Islam and, in the case of the Danish Cartoons, an excuse by the kafirs to insult the Messenger of God, which insult is punishable by death:

In our primitive past, and I am only going back a mere few centuries, people did not tolerate other people's culture or beliefs. It was enough that you were different by only a scintilla of coloring or hairstyle or language or smell.

Iran's competition for cartoons mocking the Holocaust drew a pitiful 204 entries from around the world and although Iranian newspapers announced the results of the competition they barely gave it any decent coverage. Not a single one even bothered to publish the winning cartoon pictured here.

In the Muslim Paradise of Nigeria, peace-loving Nigerian Muslims offended by egregiously insulting, provocative, nasty, feces-laden, and blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad, Peace be upon Him, attacked violent Christians who directly supported and funded the Danish cartoonists.

Danish soldiers do not want to go to Iraq

I pulled the translation and text off a YAHOO Muslim community board, but the link they gave for the story merely brings me up to the home page of information.dk. I tried searching for keywords in the search box but I couldn't get any text that came up matching what you read below. It could be my Danish is rusty, I haven't used it since 1968 when I was last in Copenhagen.

A Manhattan judge has dismissed an Orthodox Jewish man's lawsuit, finding that a photo taken of him on a street and sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars is art — not commerce.
Emo Nussenzweig filed the suit on the grounds that his religion forbids photographs because they're graven images, according to his lawyer, Jay Goldberg. 'It puts him in a disgraceful light within his community,' Goldberg said.

From: AAP February 14, 2006 holocaust cartoon

I think most of the world is offensive. I find many things that the right and the left print is offensive. I find most primitive superstitions that interfere with my private life offensive. The whole of Islam is particularly offensive. However, I would never ask them to stop printing offensive cartoons. How else would we find out how they truly feel about Jews and the rest of the world if not for cartoons?
