VIDEO: CARTOON JIHAD DEBATE ON FOX NEWS

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 5, 2006 08:40 PM

The panel on Fox News Sunday discussed the Cartoon Jihad earlier today. Brit Hume nailed it:

What is striking about this is what offends these Muslims who are protesting and these imams. Does the slaughter of innocent people in many parts of the world in the name of Allah offend them? Is that a sacrilege worthy of protest? No, not in the least. No, cartoons published five months ago in a -what- for people who live in Gaza and Damascus is an unknown and unheard-of newspaper–that’s what’s offending them. Not to mention, of course, the kinds of slurs against Christians and against the Jewish faith that are regularly spread abroad in the Arab world by the mass media and by these imams.

This is really a disgrace. And it is a disgrace not least because of the obvious, howling double standard involved here. The really great sins are ignored. And this trivia is protested.

Even liberal Juan Williams seems to get it. Condemning the Islamist violence, he commented:

…I pray that I don’t say anything offensive to Muslims here this morning, but I gotta say it looks to me like evidence of a very weak religion when people somehow can’t stand a cartoon.
