ACCIDENTAL HERO
Having taken the bold decision to publish one of those cartoons, Courier-Mail editor David Fagan has been curiously reluctant to comment. Why?
Because, according to one of my News Ltd. spies, the decision to publish wasn’t a bold one at all. Fagan didn’t even know about it. A sub-editor simply noticed a gap on the layout, and filled it with one of the cartoons.
Haaaa, haaaa, haaaa, haaaa, ROFL
Find out who the sub was - we’re issuing a fatwa of our own:Cold frosty beer supplied by Nick and Nora.

“A striking example of Arab racial arrogance is the way their middle-aged men, often married, come to Hyderabad to pick up our young Muslim daughters, pay their parents, go through nikah (marriage rites),enjoy them for some months or years and then dump them. Have you ever heard of an Indian Muslim marrying an Arab woman and treating her the same way?”
Dance Mohammed Dance.
Also, as Tim’s link is hard to remember, if anyone is looking for a copy of the cartoons, refer them to muhammadcartoons.com which hosts the complete collection (not to be confused with drawmohammed.com which has more contemporary cartoons).
#5 - Well… Mo can ‘blow’ if he wants to - I just hope it’s not while i’m giving him one.

The chief editor of Peta tabloid, Imam Tri Karso Hadi, was named a suspect Thursday by Bekasi Police for reprinting a caricature depicting the Prophet Muhammad.“We have named him a suspect. We haven’t detained him yet, because we haven’t finished questioning him,” Bekasi Police chief of detectives Comr. Suwondo Nainggolan told The Jakarta Post.
The tabloid ran the caricature to accompany an article about the nationwide unrest following the publication of drawings—showing the image of the Prophet—by a Danish daily last September.
Imam was charged under Article 156 of the Criminal Code on religious blasphemy, which carries a maximum punishment of five years’ imprisonment.—

Ins’t it basically the same defence that Islamic fascists use - it’s always someone elses fault!

From Michelle Malkin:
In Poland, Machina magazine published cover art of pop celebrity Madonna’s face superimposed on the Virgin Mary this week. The face of one of her children is superimposed on the figure of the baby Jesus.
That is highly offensive. Mrs Richie is nothing more than an aging has-been hack.

Along with your standard bras and g-strings, they also carry a few of the more…. alternative items. Latex underwear, fishnet stockings, body paint (iirc) light fetish stuff.
That’s what I recall from when I visited one last in 99.

Dream on Mr mohammed blow-up doll! I’ve seen you nekkid - it’s more like a junior button mushroom.Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2006 02 10 at 03:54 AM • permalinkThe Sarawak Tribune has been shut down ‘indefinitely’ by the Malaysian government for publishing the cartoons.
Interesting that Sarawak (on Borneo) is the only state in Malaysia that doesn’t have a Malay Muslim majority.
A little message to the Chinese and indigenous peoples (Murut, Iban etc) that big brother in KL is watching.
The governments of Malaysia and Indonesia are fond of sending “messages” to their Chinese minorities.
Hooray! Having been a copy editor for years (what we Yanks call subeditors) I’m glad to see one strike a blow for freedom.

\\>:o(>Posted by Monroe Doctrine on 2006 02 10 at 10:26 AM • permalinkI’m the last person to know what goes on in a news organization, but isn’t Mr. Fagan going to have to explain to his boss why he wasn’t paying attention? And isn’t he going to squirm at having to explain himself to his progressive friends at cocktail parties?
And won’t future historians have a field day (assuming they’re objective types and not the lefty squishies prevalent today) when they write the history of the Cartoon War?

Does me not hearing about it mean it ain’t happening?

leunig
about the Danish cartoons. Leunig includes this, self-pityingly:
I note, without surprise, that a couple of prominent Australian media personalities who loudly advocated the Iraq war and who have publicly called for my internment, and that I be taken down because of my cartooning freedom, are now vigorously championing the rights of the Danish cartoonists. Very suspicious!
well leunig, who are these two prominent Australian media personalities. Please cite their actual words you complain of (are they Siamese twins speaking in unison, by the way?) Why haven’t you named them? There is nothing easier or more gutless than attacking anonymous targets - no names, no packdrill (for Leunig).
And then this:
I am also suspicious of the motivation behind the commissioning of the famous Danish cartoons. I suspect that hatred may lie at the heart of the matter, even though hatred is a condition the West increasingly disowns.The anti-cartoon riot story, as ugly as it is, must surely be the consequence not only of a handful of dull cartoon cliches, but of the accumulated anger resulting from the humiliation, persecution and suffering inflicted on Islam by the West. The cartoons are taunts, probably deliberate, to an aggrieved and traumatised spiritual community who feel at the mercy of the West’s contempt, ignorance and ruthless military might.
As Dorothy Parker once wrote: ”“Tonstant Weader fwowed up.”Leunatig is representative of the self-hate crowd who urges on Muslims to do what they do best against the West and his own collegues, slash and burn, be-head and murder, send their children to commit suicide murder as a sacrifice to their own rage and greed. Here is Looney Lunny, champion of free speech and artistic expression, letting his hypocrisy hang out before all.
