| Men Angry at Drawings Surround Gaza Office | |
| 2006-02-02 | |
Armed militants angered by a cartoon drawing of the Prophet Muhammad published in European media surrounded EU offices in Gaza Thursday and threatened to kidnap foreigners as outrage over the caricatures spread across the Islamic world. Any excuse to kidnap infidels About a dozen gunmen with ties to the Fatah Party approached the office of the EU Commission. Three jumped on the outer wall and the rest took up positions at the entrance. Will the EU finally realize the stupidity of funding the Paleos? Nah. In a statement read by one of the gunmen, the group demanded apologies from the governments of Norway, Denmark, France and Germany and called on Palestinians to boycott the products of these countries. Of course, the EUroweenies will bend over... Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank city of Nablus said they were searching apartments for foreigners from several European countries to try to kidnap them to protest the drawings. The claim by the gunmen could not immediately be verified independently. Is there anything that does not offend mooselimbs? | |

| #10 Unfortunately I can't draw, but could someone put together a cartoon of Mo holding a lollypop out to a nine-year old and title it "Mo courts his Last Wife". |

| #8 Tell you what, someone print up some Koran toilet paper and I'll use it. I'll pay extra for it. Tell the Muslim world to STFU and we'll consider withdrawing it from the market. Until then, the Suras can kiss my @ss until it shines. Another blog site had a superb quote about the Titanic collision that is happening between a society that protects the right to give great offense and a religion that takes great offense at the least slight. See how they like the toilet paper. |

| #6 This is really great illustration of Islamist intolerance it is waking some lefties. No, it's not. A hell of a lot of them are saying the cartoons are "racist", are saying that, hey, if the Muslims don't want Mohammed depicted, then we should respect their wishes and not do it. We're talking about people who weren't woken up after 9/11, or Bali, or Beslan, or Madrid, or 7/7, or all the arrests around Europe, or the terror campaign in Iraq that specifically targets civilians and not military, despite claiming to be resisting military occupation. Why do you think this will wake them up? They'll do as I've already seen them doing -- excuse it, then blame the victims. |

| #5 Been watching this story develop for some time now it's really grown legs. The cartoons were FIRST published in the wake of the Islamist execution of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh who made a film critical of Islam. His co-filmmaker is living in hiding. The Danish newspaper put out the idea that cartoonists would not be brave enough to depict the Prophet as freedom of speech has been compromised. 12 cartoonists did. 2 of them are now living in hiding. This is really great illustration of Islamist intolerance it is waking some lefties. |

| #4 I smell business opportunity. Why not combine Mo cartoons and flushing qurans ala Mohammed toilet paper. Infinitely better than 3 small rocks and fun for the entire family. |

| #1 I guess that flushing Q'u'o'r'a'n's is passe now, so it's on to cartoons. Maybe the next shot over the bow to spin some turbans should be an Islamic adaption of Itchy and Scratchy from the Simpsons. |
