#1 At some point the West needs to put Islam on notice that making such threats will cause them some serious grief. Should these cartoonists suffer any harm, an entire Muslim city needs to disappear. This constant menacing of free people is intolerable and there is no reason why we must put up with it. Allowing Islam to degrade the quality of our lives is a significant victory for them. That needs to change. We must become a far greater menace to them.

#3 How about if we match their bounties x10 for some of their loudmouths? We normally only go after the actual murderous types, seldom after the agitators and inciters in other countries.

How long do you think some Imam in Pakistan would last with a $1.5M bounty on his head? Heck, we could have half the radical Imams in Pakistan whacked for $1,500 each.

They wanted an orgy in blood? Okay, them first.

#4 I wouldn't give you five cents for the lot of them.

#5 I'm starting to see why Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam.

It's easier to coordinate the deaths of your enemies.

#6 'Moose, we've had a guy in Pakistan with a $25M or $50M price on his head for six years now, and no sale.

I think we'd do better offering a flock of goats or a herd of camels.

#7 Perhaps the bounty is so high they don't believe it's real?

#8 The high value military targets are surrounded with bodyguards and stay far away from crowds. What I'm talking about are the much lower level creeps who never do anything themselves, but encourage others to do it.

Think agitators, instigators and inciters.

Imams are a cowardly bunch. All you would really have to do is print out a bunch of flyers naming a bunch of them, with a price by each name in US dollars, and they would be beating down the door of the US embassy to proclaim how harmless they were and to submit utterly to their local government.

Then you let them prove it by elaborate advocating peace and democracy on Pakistani TV.

#9 And yes, they would be lying through their teeth, but it wouldn't matter. They would lose bushels of street cred to their followers.

Seafarious, all of the good-looking camels have been shipped off to Soddiland, where the price for the hawt camels is way over $100K, depending on the size, softness and configuration of their humps. (Did I just type that?)

#14 Though I do not speak Swedish, I've done a quick scan of the home pages of several Swedish online newspapers. This story is frontpage material with multiple links for each post, and most include the 'if slaughtered like a lamb' quote.

And the direct threat against Sweden's industrial giants has not been ignored; that makes the matter personal for everyone in the kingdom.

#15 Let's imagine for a moment the rage of people like Amanda Marcotte if Christian clergy were to advocate, and post rewards for, the slaughter of progressives. Let's imagine how much 'Christophobia' Amanda would show. We can all imagine that, right?

Now let's imagine Amanda doing the same thing when Muslim clergy advocate and post rewards for the slaughter of non-Muslims.

Nah, I can't imagine it either.

#16 "We can only hope that Muslims in Europe and in the Western world choose to distance themselves from this and support the idea of freedom of expression."

Muslims in Europe ought to disappear if they don't.

#17 "We can only hope that Muslims in Europe and in the Western world choose, etc, ............"

Like, we still giving them foks a choice?

6-7 years into a war, maybe more if you count OSL's declaration of war in about '98, these fokks still in the land of the free?

Beggars belief. Ship them out, it the only answer, even if it only stop one Cell of 5.

Make them fly mossie Air, enough taqqiya, fuck them off out of here, or intern.

Give em a real choice. FOAD, or just fuck off.

Hope for that, and I'll hope for a super model girlfriend.

Odds are, I'll get my wish first.

#21 Al-Qaida in Iraq in the past has carried out operations in Jordan and may have links to militant groups in Lebanon, but is not known to have any kind of presence in Europe.

I seem to recall much of Europe fussing at us because their jihadis were bringing back the training they'd got in Iraq, making them a serious threat to peace loving Europeans. Did I miss another memo?

#23 How about a counter-offer? Something like: "$150,000 for AQI leaders if slaughtered in a wood chipper".

To claim prize please bring videotape of slaughter, audio included, and bucket of DNA evidence. Double the reward if he screams for over five minutes after his feet disappear.
