The cartoon jihadists never forget

By Michelle Malkin • May 12, 2010 10:12 AM

In August 2007, I blogged about this little cartoon depicting Mohammed as a dog:

The religion of perpetual outrage swung into action against the Swedish artist who drew the image, Lars Vilks.

Vilks hit the nail on the head at the time:

Vilks said he made the drawings after being invited to contribute to an art exhibition in central Sweden on the theme of dogs.

“To begin with, the message was to make a critical contribution on the dog theme, but it took another direction,” Vilks told AP in a phone interview. “Why can you not criticize Islam when you can criticize other religions?”

Three years later, the cartoon jihadists are still raging against Vilks for speaking truth to sharia power:

A Swedish artist who angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a dog was assaulted Tuesday while giving a university lecture about the limits of artistic freedom.

Lars Vilks told The Associated Press a man in the front row ran up to him and head-butted him during a lecture, breaking his glasses but leaving him uninjured. It wasn’t immediately clear what happened to the attacker.

Vilks has faced numerous threats over his controversial drawing of Muhammad with a dog’s body, but Tuesday’s incident was the first time he has been physically assaulted.

Earlier this year U.S. investigators said Vilks was the target of an alleged murder plot involving Colleen LaRose, an American woman who dubbed herself “Jihad Jane,” and who now faces life in prison. She had pleaded not guilty.

Allahpundit has the video.

Remember: The Religion of Perpetual Outrage hates all infidels. The targeting of Mohammed cartoonists is a lingering pretext to demonstrate that centuries-old, Koran-inspired hatred. If it isn’t cartoons, it’s always something else. From fresco rage to book rage to film rage to beauty pageant rage to Koran-dropping rage to cartoon rage to Pope rage, to ceramic Mohammed bobbleheads, it never ends.

They never forget and they never forgive. Which is why we must never submit.

Lan astaslem: Arabic for “I will not submit/surrender”

Vilks stands firm:

While Vilks escaped the incident with broken glasses and a degree of shock, he said it raised concerns about the freedom of expression at Sweden’s oldest and most prestigious institute of higher learning.

“What you get is a mob deciding what can be discussed at the university,” Vilks told The Associated Press, adding he was ready to repeat the lecture if re-invited.

“I’m ready to go up again,” he said. “This must be carried through. You cannot allow it to be stopped.”

Kagan Argued for Government ‘Redistribution of Speech’

“If there is an ‘overabundance’ of an idea in the absence of direct governmental action — which there well might be when compared with some ideal state of public debate — then action disfavoring that idea might ‘un-skew,’ rather than skew, public discourse,” Kagan wrote.

Instead, the Supreme Court should focus on whether a speaker’s message is harming the public, argued Kagan in her article.

While Kagan does not offer an exhaustive definition of ‘harm,’ she does offer examples of speech that may be regulated, such as incitement to violence, hate-speech, threatening or “fighting” words.

What do you want to bet that that would only be applied against conservative Christians and Jews, but never against violent, threatening Muslims who attack speakers and incite their peers to violence, raising their fist and angrily shouting “Allahu Akbar!”

“I find it very distasteful, this use of religion to incite hatred and fear.“

Said by a Muslim, about a Jew.
(Of course.)

How about finding the use of Islam “to incite hatred and fear” distasteful?!?
