KILL THE CARTOONISTS

Cartoon Jihad continues.

Via Breitbart/AP:

A Pakistani cleric announced Friday a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew Prophet Muhammad, as thousands joined street protests and Denmark temporarily closed its embassy and advised its citizens to leave the country.

Police confined the former leader of an Islamic militant group to his home to prevent him from addressing supporters over the cartoons, amid fears he could incite violence, after riots this week killed five people…

… In the northwestern Pakistan city of Peshawar, prayer leader Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi announced the bounty for killing a cartoonist to about 1,000 people outside the Mohabat Khan mosque.

Qureshi said the mosque and his religious school would give $25,000 and a car, while a local jewelers’ association would give another $1 million. No representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer.

“This is a unanimous decision by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize,” Qureshi said.

Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement. He did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures.

*New* The Dread Pundit Bluto notes that Quereshi has visited upstate New York to give inspirational talks to American Muslims.

Riehl World View has a death threat video targeting the editors of the editors of the Norwegian magazine “Magazinet”. Here are video frames of the editors with gun scope sights superimposed over their faces:

And via the Global Issues Report, which I received from a tipster, here is a graphic posted on Alommh.net, a pro-Al-Qaida forum used by a number of Salafi and Iraqi militant groups.

It features a Kalashnikov rifle, the Koran, a banner with the Shuhadah prayer (There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his Prophet), and the following text: “The Global Day for protesting in front of the Danish Embassy to protest offenses to our Prophet, Monday morning February 13. Participate and Support your Prophet. Blood and blood, destruction and destruction to the enemies of Allah.”

The forum challenged its members: “Since Danish embassies are all over the Muslim world, why don’t we burn them down with everyone inside?”

Planck’s Constant has a question about the cartoon bounty: “I wonder how much of that money comes from American Muslim Charities?”
