Islam - More Muslim Hypocrisy

Danish cartoons of Prophet Mohammed provoke outcry


London: A Danish experiment in testing ''the limits of freedom of speech'' with newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed has provoked an outcry. Thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets in protest at the caricatures, the newspaper that published them has received death threats and two of its cartoonists have been forced into hiding.

Jyllands-Posten, Denmark's leading daily, defied Islam's ban on images of the Prophet by printing cartoons by 12 different artists. In one, he is depicted as a sabre-wielding terrorist accompanied by women in burqas, in another, his turban appears to be a bomb and in a third, he is portrayed as a schoolboy by a blackboard.

The ambassadors of 11 Muslim countries called on the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen to take ''necessary steps'' against the ''defamation of Islam''.


But it's ok to glorify killing Israelis.

Suicide bombers on Iran kids' TV

Iranian state television has broadcast a cartoon that glorifies suicide bombings against Israelis, depicting a young boy blowing himself up after being told: "Go and show the Zionists how brave and heroic are the children of Palestine."

The cartoon, one of a series shown by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on "Jerusalem Day" nine days ago, presents the actions of a boy who kills himself to strike back against Israelis as a noble example for children to follow.

More professionally produced and graphic than previous Iranian propaganda aimed at children, the cartoon appears to be part of a campaign led by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to elevate the issue of the destruction of Israel. The day before the cartoon was shown, he declared at a World Without Zionism conference: "This stain of disgrace [Israel] will be wiped off the face of the world - and this is attainable."


Any other religion would call this child abuse - not Islam.
