Now that we are back on-line…. I think there is no better way to kick off the return of GayPatriot with a statement supporting freedom of speech. (h/t- Michelle Malkin)
We are proud to reprint the Mohammed Cartoon as a show of solidarity with Denmark and the cartoonist who faces death by Islamists.
The reported target of the alleged plot was Kurt Westergaard, one of 12 cartoonists commissioned by the Jyllands-Posten newspaper to produce caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed two years ago.
Westergaard’s cartoon, which was reprinted by Jyllands-Posten today, was seen at the time as the most controversial, as it depicted the prophet with a bomb in his turban. “The security service has not wanted to run any risks and chose to act at a very early stage,†Jacob Scharf, Denmark’s police intelligence service chief, said. “Tonight’s operation has been a preventive measure.â€
Police raided several addresses at 5am this morning, detaining five men – three Danish nationals and two foreigners.
I shall not submit.

Submit? What do you mean, submit?
Myself, I’ve simply given up circulating Mohammed cartoons for Lent, er, I mean Christian Ramadan.
Right on!
If you visit the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, you can have a look at the Holy Relics of Islam which one of the Sultans stole from the Egyptians. There is a hair from “The Prophet’s” beard. There is a piece of rock that bears the imprint of “The Prophet’s” bare foot. There are articles of “The Prophet’s” clothing. A man sits in a cage and reads the Koran into a microphone as he continuously bobs.
When you visit Christian sites in Turkey you quickly discover that the Islamists scratched out the eyes of paintings, mosaics and carvings. Often, they just obliterated the faces as a short cut.
But wait! The ancient Islamic art depicting scenes from the Old Testament features well drawn faces and a wonderful style. Also, the Turks favor a blown glass trinket that is a circle of blue glass with a white glass center with a black glass in the middle. These can range from the size of a bean to platter size mass. They have a loop for hanging and are representations of “The Eye of Abraham.”
This whole rejection of the face of “The Prophet” and the schizophrenic reaction to the icons of Christianity while portraying Old Testament people with complete abandon only attests to the lack of coherent logic in the teachings of the Imams.
When one depicts the face of “The Prophet” he is simply disobeying a dark ages interpretation of a branch of barbarians who swept North Africa with the command of convert or be slaughtered or enslaved.
Why should any self-respecting Westerner give that “tradition” a second thought? There is no doubt that the murderous goons on the radical side of Islam are deadly serious. But so were the SS, the Pol Pot children and the Manson “family.”
Until Islamists stand up against the lunatics among them, they will all remain suspect.
Right on, Helio. My Greek ancestors did not submit after the fall of Constantinople in 1453…and neither do I.
I TOO WILL NOT SUBMIT!

Oh, my – all this seething and whining over some foolish cartoons – just wait until they find out I’m working on “Mohammad the Musical – On Iceâ€!  We’re trying to get Tonya Harding – the ‘knee capper’ – to play Mohammad. She’s a natural for the role. Fatwa issued on Vera in 5…4…3…2…
Where’s the "after" panel?
I am gay and Jewish. I’ll probably be one of the first they come for.I will not submit.
I "love" (actually not) the Telegraph’s euphemism, "three Danish nationals and two foreigners." It obviously means three Christian extremist, ethnic Danes and a couple Slovakian atheists. Right?
This is from the Telegraph – supposed to be one of the more conservative, responsible papers.
The BBC is marginally more honest: "Two Tunisians and a Dane of Moroccan origin had been arrested… ‘to prevent a murder linked to terrorism’."
Can we please just tell the truth? These vicious terrorists, determined to murder in order to prevent free speech, were Muslim, Muslim, Muslim.
"I TOO WILL NOT SUBMIT!"
Peter, I love that about you! (And TGC. And NDT. And some others.)
