Let's generate more Mohammed cartoon outrage
(Miniature of Mohammed re-dedicating the Black Stone at the Kaaba. From Jami Al-Tawarikh ("The Universal History" written by Rashid Al-Din), a manuscript in the Library of the University of Edinburgh; illustrated in Tabriz, Persia, c. 1315.)
[ UPDATE: Ridicule updates in the extended entry. Also, this post got linked by Memeorandum, so if you hear of a fatwa against Kesher Talk please let me know. ]
One benefit of the Mohammed cartoon outrage is that it is generating a lot of justifiable ridicule. We in the civilized West have a fine tradition of what the British call "taking the piss" out of bullies and dictators and other self-important people. Even the French have engaged in this pastime.
Of course the blogosphere and its commercial outposts are taking advantage of this opportunity. I already mentioned the Infidel Bloggers Alliance Mohammed Cartoon Contest.
Metrospy is offering T-shirts showing one of the Danish cartoons. (A friend of mine has already promised to wear one to his upscale health club to annoy the ultralibs.)
Something Awful eavesdrops on a Muslim advice column:
Dear Muslim Man Complaint Box,There's more. Also:I saw on the TV that there is a show now with a woman host. This is not very bad by itself because the woman was dressed in accordance with the laws of Islam and did not expose herself and inflame the lust of any male guests. However, this woman was having a talk with guests and things got a bit out of control when the woman host said "no, I don't think so" to one of the guests. I was so mad I told my wife to drown herself in the bathtub while I finished watching the show. Then, later in the show, the host says "you are wrong" to a doctor! I could not believe it!
Please see if you could beat this woman with a chain and I thank you in advance.
Dear Muslim Man Complaint Box,
I like cowboys and I think that means I have to cut my hands off. That kind of sucks.
A bunch of retaliatory cartoons from I think Denmark.
Nobody expects the jihadi cartoonists!
Wow. Here's the mother lode of cartoons about the Muslim response to the Danish cartoons (plus a letter from Jyllands-Posten reporter Anders Raahauge).
A series of impressionistic drawings of Mohammed.
More pre-Danish political cartoons of Mohammed.
So why outrage over these cartoons, and why now, when they were published back in October? Because it's a setup.

I saw the link to here from the other story over at scribal terror. Your blog has a really interesting perspective to be sure. Living in the center of the bible belt I have had only minimal contact with any Jewish perspective. I think it's the heat, if you don't mind me saying. Texas is just plain hot.
Anyway, let me help add to the Muslim outrage over the cartoon. I had a post on our blog about the fact that Muhammad is depicted in the northern frieze inside the US Supreme Court, and has been there since 1930. I wonder when they'll get around to burning that down. Of course, we might react differently than the Dutch about that.

Actually, the site with reliatory cartoons is Belgian and in Dutch (apparently they live in Flanders). The Flemish (Dutch) papers have published the cartoons, but the Wallonian (French) papers have not.

IN ALL THIS MADNESS IT SEEMS THAT TOLLRANCE HAS BEEN THROWN OUT WITH THE THE USE OF DECORUM. I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE THAT BIGOTRY IS NOT CONDONED AS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE OUT THERE IS ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR ID'S (CHILDISH IMPULSE) AND USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. DON'T FORGET THE HOLOCUST, THIS IS HOW IT BEGAN AND IT WAS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE SEMETIC.
SHALOM.... INSELAH

There are hundreds of blog sites on the internet that are against leftist tyranny and muslim imperialism.
Most of them are "vent centers." People write in, vent outrage, buy a T shirt or mug, and feel like they have done something.
Few of the "activist" blogs have any concept of organizing opposition to the many sinister forces that are making us dance to their tunes.
Why?
Two reasons: Cowardice and ignorance.
I'm looking for people who want to work against the left and muslim imperialism.
Are any of you interests? Capable of working with others in a political activist group?
