Flemming Rose, culture editor of the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, has an excellent piece defending his decision to commission and publish the Mohammed Cartoons.
Childish. Irresponsible. Hate speech. A provocation just for the sake of provocation. A PR stunt. Critics of 12 cartoons of the prophet Muhammad I decided to publish in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten have [...]

Last Tuesday, during or immediately after my appearance on Fox News Channel to discuss the Mohammed Cartoons, this blog was hit by a large, foreign-based denial of service attack. Last night, my hosting service notified me that it is receiving ongoing threats from individuals vowing to take down this site–and others along with it–which will [...]

Abu Laban, the Danish imam who stoked Cartoon Jihad in the Middle East by spreading a dossier stuffed with the 12 Jyllands-Posten Mohammed Cartoons and unrelated propaganda, is under fire. The Danes, including moderate Muslims fed up with the bile, are fighting back.
Jim Hoft has video, news round-up, and lots of background links.

There is much buzz this weekend about comments that conservative author/columnist Ann Coulter made at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, a speech which I missed due to a book signing at the same event.
Ann used the term “raghead” when describing what our homeland security policies should be: “I think our motto should be [...]

Jim Lindgren at The Volokh Conspiracy has an interesting post examining the caption in the above anti-Muslim cartoon. It was one of three pieces of art disseminated by two-tongued, terror-sympathizing Danish imams, who tried to blame the anonymous Muslim-bashing cartoons and photos on Danes in the wake of the Jyllands-Posten’s publication of the [...]

The Cartoon Jihadists are winning…

Malaysia:
The Malaysian government shut down on Thursday a local newspaper after it published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, the official Bernama news agency said. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is also the internal security minister, ordered the indefinite shutdown of The Sarawak Tribune with immediate effect, Bernama said. “Internal Security [...]

There’s an interesting debate brewing in Denmark over food served in the country’s public schools. Since 2001, the government has approved only halal meat (food acceptable to Muslims) for children’s hot lunches.
Looks like that’s going to change now.

The Islamists’ Bogus Anti-Muslim Art (Large images here, here, and here)

Danish TV station, DR 1, aired a valuable news segment yesterday on the manufacturing of the Cartoon Jihad yesterday.
The station took the BBC to task for erroneously attributing the now-infamous French pig-squealing contest photo–exploited by a delegation of Danish imams to foment fear of anti-Muslim [...]

We should learn from the stand Denmark has taken against double-talking radical imams who pose fraudulently as “moderate” peacemakers (via the Jyllands-Posten):
Political criticism of local imams in recent days has led the integration minister to exclude the muslim clerics from discussions of the integration of Muslims into Danish society.
Some imams have reportedly offered statements to [...]

Gunnar in Denmark e-mails that an American professor in Dubai was fired for displaying the Forbidden Cartoons to her students. Here’s the Islamist Khaleej Times article on the firing:

In addition to [...]

I appeared tonight on Fox News Channel’s Hannity and Colmes for an all-too-brief segment on the Mohammed Cartoons. Before I drove to the Washington, D.C., studio, I stopped by a Kinko’s store, printed out the cartoons, and pasted them onto a piece of poster board. I then used my short time on the airwaves to [...]

Kudos to the Philadelphia Inquirer for braving the forces of political correctness, foreign and domestic, and publishing one of the forbidden Muhammad cartoons. The point that needs to be hammered again and again is that the newspaper did not publish the cartoon to deliberately offend Muslims or to make an anti-Islamist statement, but [...]

Dennis Nixon at NeanderNews thinks he has traced the origins of one of the bogus Muhammad cartoons disseminated by radical Danish imams in December:

The top photo was reportedly included in the Danish imams’ propaganda and attributed falsely to the Jyllands-Posten. The bottom photo is from–well, read it for yourselves over at NeanderNews.
More from Jim [...]

Inflamed Islamists and their uninformed apologists have demonized the Danish cartoonists responsible for the Muhammad Cartoons. But look at their actions–and compare them with those of their firebomb-wielding, death sentence-issuing critics.
Judith Apter Klinghoffer points to this Jyllands-Posten report that Franz Füchsel, who drew this cartoon, has decided to put his drawing of Muhammed up [...]

Since I first mentioned Judith Apter Klinghoffer and Little Green Football’s idea to “Buy Danish” to support Denmark in the cartoon wars, a bunch of new websites and campaigns have been launched. I’ve compiled a few resources below. A special request for those of you getting ready to stock up for Super Bowl Sunday: Skip [...]

Blogger E.L. Core e-mailed me with an excellent idea for a Mohammed Cartoons “Blogburst“:
Hi, Michelle. I’m sure I’m not the only small-time blogger who decided to post the cartoons. I actually came out of an indefinite blog suspension just to do that. Maybe you could invite other bloggers to send you a link to their [...]

Guess which side they chose?
The United States blasted the publication by European newspapers of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as unacceptable incitement to religious or ethnic hatred.

Watch out. The London Telegraph reports:
A leading Islamic cleric called for an “international day of anger” today over publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, and a Danish activist predicted that deadly violence could break out in Europe “at any minute”.
As more European newspapers reprinted the cartoons, what started off as a row between Denmark’s [...]
