| Gaza gunmen warn Denmark, Norway on Islam cartoons |
| 2006-01-30 |
| Palestinian gunmen said on Monday Danes and Norwegians visiting Gaza could be attacked unless their governments apologise after newspapers printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. Danish paper Jyllands-Posten's satirical images of Islam's founder sparked outrage across the Muslim world and prompted several Arab countries to close their embassies in Copenhagen. A Norwegian paper has run them too. Ten Palestinians armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers rallied outside the European Union headquarters in Gaza City and fired in the air, demanding an apology and warning Danes and Norwegians they would be at risk in Gaza. "We warn the citizens of the above-mentioned governments against not taking this warning seriously because our groups are ready to implement it across the Gaza Strip," one of the gunmen said, reading from a prepared statement. How about the Danes warning the muslims they have 24 hours to get the hell out of Denmark. |

| #10 So Hamas is going to attack European countries from their home base, while claiming they exist for the noble purpose of creating a national homeland. Any payment to those animals is nothing but a global jihad subsidy. |

| #9 "Hardest hit by the boycott was Danish-Swedish dairy product maker Arla Foods, with annual sales of 3 billion Danish crowns ($487 million) in the Middle East. The world's biggest maker of insulin, Novo Nordisk, also said it was affected. " "Must respect .. muhammed ... dont need ... insulin .... rosebud" |

| #8 The Rantburg Nation and the blogsphere should rise-up and demand that major US newspapers publish the cartoons as well. They are a legitimate story. Free press. Freedom of speach. Yadda, yadda. Let them try the "speaking truth to power" BS in a situation where it matters. |

| #6 We can fight back simply by laughing at them. This is known as the "Mel Brooks Theory of Ridiculing Insecure Monsters." He's been doing it with Nazis, basically, forever. |

| #3 Isn't that precious. We can fight back simply by laughing at them. I picture a camel mounting a burka clad woman with the caption "Happy New Year, Osama....from Mom and Dad" |

| #2 This is why the "Making Fun Of Mohammed" contest is so important. That is, ordinary people making and posting comics making fun of Mohammed, anonymously, on the P2P networks. The only rule is that filenames begin with "MFOM_". The winners are those whose cartoons are found by some Moslem, who then publicly seethes and threatens the anonymous person with death. The best part is that cartoons by leftists like Gary Trudeau and Ted Rall can have their dialogue balloons re-written. And wouldn't it be funny if after all of his slamming America, President Bush and the US military, Rall had a death sentence put on his head by the people he supports? I've alrady seen several such cartoons on Emule, Gnutella1 and Gnutella2. Just do a search for "MFOM". |
