Swedish Cartoon Rage Rising

Brian C. Ledbetter · Friday, August 31. 2007 15:02
We're starting to see protests in Pakistan over Sweden's recent entry into the world of controversial cartooning. It could only be a matter of time before we see our old friend again.

Supporters of the Islamic Shabab-e-Milli youth group burn an effigy of the Swedish prime minister in Karachi August 31, 2007. About 20 members of a Pakistani Islamic youth group protested on Friday over a sketch of the Prophet Mohammad published in a Swedish newspaper, witnesses said. REUTERS/Athar Hussain (PAKISTAN)


For the record, the cartoons were only published in an online newspaper. It's nice to see the Associated Press ratcheting up the ol' Angst a touch with their creative editing. As always, more yummy effigy goodness follows the break.

"Sir" Salman Rushdie: Day Two

Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, June 19. 2007 11:27
The saga continues...

Pakistan's protesters chant slogans to condemn the British government for awarding a knighthood to Salman Rushdie in Karachi, Pakistan, Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Pakistan's government summoned the British ambassador Tuesday to protest the knighthood awarded to Salman Rushdie, denouncing the author as best known for 'offensive and insulting writings' against Islam.

"HAND OVER RUSHDEI TO PAKISTAN FOR TRAIL IN SHARIAT" (Bad Protest English-to-Regular English translation: "Hand Over Rushdie to Pakistan for Trial in Sharia!")

That's The Religion of Peace for ya, folks. Death is an appropriate punishment for writing a dreadfully boring book.

If this keeps up, I think we might have yet another DAY OF RAGE on our hands, and if it's going to rise to Day of Rage levels, it's bound to happen this Friday. Keep your eyes peeled for some Grade-A entertainment, folks!

Update: Eagle-eyed reader AMDScooter spotted a familiar face in the crowds! How'd I miss that??

________ stirs up Muslim anger

Brian C. Ledbetter · Friday, September 15. 2006 09:33
"Jihad is the hump of Islam."
Yeah, it's not really news, but the Pope's speech seems to have sparked Muslim protests world-wide.

More pleasantry from the Religion of the Perpetually Offended. Keep your eye on this article—I'll be posting the photos from these protests as soon as they come across the wire. It always seems that Muslims spend the entire year preparing to protest, much like lefties, so I'm confident that we'll have some spectacular material here soon!

The basic premise of modern Islam? "Think like us, or we'll kill you."

Find a picture in any paper that depicts a Christian like this.
There ya go. It truly is "the religion of peace," isn't it...?

UPDATE 16:11 EST: It seems that Hamas has joined the party. The sycophantic press, of course, is doing their best to present the protesters as helpless, unarmed civilians. We know better, though. Also, Confederate Yankee has noticed the "Hump" sign, and found it as amusing as we did. Continue reading »
