“Hot new fad on the planet.” Plus: Tracking and identifying the dhimmi press.

The case of the Koran-flusher. Update: Criminal complaint added.

The manufactured outrage over Britain’s knighting of Salman Rushdie continues. It’s Friday prayer time. Mosques in Pakistan and Kashmir have stocked up on extra matches, effigies, and yes, American flags. Plus: Islamic Rage Boy is back!

The Religion of Perpetual Outrage strikes again.

***update and bumped to the top: Zawahiri rings in the new year with a call to jihad for the Religion of Perpetual Outrage***

It began with the Danish cartoons. It ended with the flying imams. 2006 was a banner year for the Religion of Perpetual Outrage. Twelve turbulent months of fist-waving, embassy-burning, fatwa-issuing mayhem, intimidation, and [...]

The verdict is in on Yemeni editor Muhammad Assadi of the Yemen Observer, who faced a possible death sentence for publishing the Mohammed Cartoons earlier this year. It’s a small relief, but still a fundamental travesty. Via BBC:

I’m going offline the rest of the day, but had to blog this.

The Danish cartoonists aren’t the only ones living in fear for offending the global jihadi mob. Now, French philosophy professor and secondary school teacher Robert Redeker is under police protection for penning a piece [...]

Scene from Idomeneo: Banned in Germany
The first thing to remember when reading about the cancellation of Mozart’s Idomeneo in Germany and the opera house Deutsche Oper’s kowtowing to Islamic bullies is that jihadists hate Western art and music.
They hate love songs.
They hate Muslim female pop stars.
They hate church frescos. And poems. And illustrations of [...]

THE former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey of Clifton has issued his own challenge to “violent” Islam in a lecture in which he defends the Pope’s “extraordinarily [...]

…is that when we watch them insult the Pope with stupid, violent animated cartoons like this (hat tip: Gerald A.):

…we don’t go burning down their mosques and shooting their imams and incinerating their children and slicing their throats and repeatedly smacking the world over the head with a “Christianity Is Peace” placard dripping in blood.

Now, [...]

Target of jihad
It all seems so familiar, doesn’t it (via Yahoo.com):

***updated with new Mo Cartoon tie to Germany bombing plot***

Remember them? Indonesian Muslims during Mo Cartoon rage
You may wonder, after seven months, why the Mohammed Cartoons graphic remains in the top-right corner of this blog. It’s because while most of the dhimmi press may have “moved on,” the jihadists have not. And some of the [...]

First, take a look at mob scenes across the Muslim world this weekend, ostensibly–ostensibly–in response to the civilian deaths in Qana, Lebanon (via Yahoo! News). Angry Muslims from Beirut to Gaza to Lahore are setting fire to American and Israeli flags. Burning effigies of Western leaders. Raising their voices in death chants:

Remember?
It’s the one-year anniversary of the 7/7 London jihadi bombings. Pajamas Media has extensive, extended coverage throughout the day. Andrew Ian Dodge expresses my feelings today:
“I am still incensed that the Muslim community spends more time whingeing about “islamophobia” than they do trying to route out extremism. I am incensed that whenever question about terrorist [...]

Finally, a major liberal American publication takes the plunge and dares to print the Mohammed Cartoons in full. Better late than never (the conservative Weekly Standard published the cartoons in its Feb. 20, 2006 issue). Hat tip: reader O., who read about the story via Danish TV 2 Nyhederne.

I mentioned Mohammed depicted in classical artwork earlier this week when the latest cartoon jihad erupted in Italy. Matthias Storme at The Brussels Journal posts photos of another depiction of Mohammed, a 17th century sculpture housed at a Belgian church, that is sure to set off the jihadists:
