"Remember what the Jews have done to our people." The page reviews World War I, for which the Jews are held responsible, then states: "Now for the first time, World Jewry openly says what it wants: 'Germany must die!'"

Of course they are. But further, they will do a 'wonderful' job of demonizing Muslims and Islam generally in the minds of the easily led,

"Uncivilised ruffians." This from a hypocrite who rationalizes dropping cluster bombs on children and calls torture "frat house hazing".

Add to their commentary Charles Moore's question in the Telegraph: How did all the Danish flags suddenly materialize for burning in Gaza and elsewhere? Moore writes: Why were those Danish flags to hand? Who built up the stockpile so that they could be quickly dragged out right across the Muslim world and burnt where television cameras would come and look? The more you study this story of "spontaneous" Muslim rage, the odder it seems. The complained-of cartoons first appeared in October; they have provoked such fury only now. As reported in this newspaper yesterday, it turns out that a group of Danish imams circulated the images to brethren in Muslim countries. When they did so, they included in their package three other, much more offensive cartoons which had not appeared in Jyllands-Posten but were lumped together so that many thought they had. It rather looks as if the anger with which all Muslims are said to be burning needed some pretty determined stoking.

Kind of reminds me of a little dog with a stuffed animal.

You have, over the years I have read you on this blog, advocated and supported violent means to dubious ends.

Of course, a few cartoons should force the 1% (or less) of Muslims who are engaging in that behavior to reconsider their views and reform...

There is no bit of speech, no matter how vile or insidious, that could drive me to violence.

"Would this sort of thing be possible in your neighborhood? Why not?"

"Don't you think that there is something more to this than just a very large group of people spanning several countries having a psychotic break,"

And of course he was immediately arrested.

"From your response it is clear that you have no interest in thinking about the context other than these people are bad 'culture deficit'. So much for discussion."

"Relative to what? To whose culture?"

"What is right and proper in one culture may not be in another. And vice versa."

Have you noticed a warm wet feeling on your ankle? ;-)

As I did in another inaccurate charge you recently made, I challenge you to prove that. But you won't, having made the attack you will just quietly withdraw.

Or are you saying that since it is (probably) 1% or less, we should just expect them to riot, burn, kidnap, etc.?

Would it be okay if they rioted in protest of some of the numerous vile attacks on Christianity?

And while the deaths of these pilgrims was a mere blip on the traditional western media's radar, it was a huge story in the Muslim world.  Most of the pilgrims who were killed came from poorer countries such as Pakistan, where the Hajj is a very big story.  Even the most objective news stories were suddenly casting Saudi Arabia in a very bad light and they decided to do something about it. Their plan was to go on a major offensive against the Danish cartoons.  The 350 pilgrims were killed on January 12 and soon after, Saudi newspapers (which are all controlled by the state) began running up to 4 articles per day condemning the Danish cartoons.  The Saudi government asked for a formal apology from Denmark.  When that was not forthcoming, they began calling for world-wide protests.

It is being alleged in some quarters that the controversy over the Danish caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad is somehow artificial or whipped up months later by the Saudis. This is not true. The controversy began in Denmark itself among the 180,000 Danish Muslims.

The complained-of cartoons first appeared in October; they have provoked such fury only now. As reported in this newspaper yesterday, it turns out that a group of Danish imams circulated the images to brethren in Muslim countries. When they did so, they included in their package three other, much more offensive cartoons which had not appeared in Jyllands-Posten but were lumped together so that many thought they had.

a Danish author was unable to find an illustrator for her book on the Prophet Muhammad, since Islam forbids pictorial representations of the prophet and illustrators were afraid of a Muslim backlash.

The conservative daily then asked 40 cartoonists to provide such pictures and it subsequently published all 12 cartoons received in response, some of which depicted the prophet in an unflattering manner.

Last week, as many as 5,000 Muslims demonstrated in Copenhagen against the newspaper and the drawings, which depicted Muhammad in different settings. In one of the drawings, he appeared with a turban shaped like a bomb strapped to his head.

Imagine the reaction in the bible belt from the Robertsons and Falwells and their maniacal followers if Al Jazeera were to publish caricatures of Jesus Christ piloting a helicopter raining white phosphorus down onto women and children in Fallujah.

Before I launch into this report, I want to underline that few places in the Muslim world have seen violence over the caricatures, so far mainly Damascus and Beirut (which are unexpected in this regard.) Protests in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and elsewhere have been nonviolent. This is not to play down the seriousness of what happened in Damascus and Beirut over the weekend--acts which can only inspire horror and condemnation--only to set it in context. There are 1.5 billion Muslims. A lot of Muslim countries saw no protests at all. In some places, as in Pakistan, they were anemic. The caricature protests are resonating with local politics and anti-imperialism in ways distinctive to each Muslim country. The protests therefore are probably not mostly purely about religion.

"The situation was like a crocodile meeting a helpless child, powerless except for his screams. Does the crocodile understand a conversation that doesn't include a weapon? And the whole world saw and heard but it didn't respond."

So the Moslems, led by such people as these Imams, I won't call them Danish, stir the pot and no one calls them on it.
