A Muslim cleric in Australia has called for the beheading of Dutch politician Geert Wilders. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100903/wl_nm/us_dutch_wilders But it's Wilders who is spreading hate, intolerance, and extremism. Right... got it.

"Draw Mohammed Day" is May 20. This started as a minor joke by a small-print newspaper journalist that is taking on a life of its own. As a Marine, an American, and an artist, Comedy Central's censorship of the South Park episodes are triply offensive to me, not to mention the violent...

Now this is getting ridiculous http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/19/security-brief-radical-islamic-web-site-takes-on-south-park/?hpt=Sbin He was in a freaking bear suit for ****'s sake. Actually, he wasn't in a bear suit, because it's a freaking drawing. Islamists need a sense of humor, and fast.

Geert Wilders used Kurt Westergaard's famous Muhammad-with-a-bomb-in-his-hair cartoon in "Fitna" without permission. After Kurt Westergaard complained and threatened with legal action, Geert Wilders reluctantly agreed to remove the cartoon from the film. Kurt Westergaard has now made a cartoon...

Erik Abild Sørensen, one of the Muhammed Cartoonists, has died. He was 89. Story here. His cartoon.

You may remember a rare event when the Prophet Mohammed was depicted with a bomb on his bonnet. Over here in London, some Islamists got their pants in a twist, and marched upon the street in their fantastic London accents declaring Britain (As remember, these guys do not see themselves as...

More insanity from the Religion of Perpetual Outrage. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article2947734.ece

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6972093.stm Yet another published cartoon of Mohammed -- this time as a dog. Watch out for worldwide rioting and mayhem.

At TAM5, Hitchens mentioned the corporate cowardice of Borders (in regards to the Danish cartoons issue) and suggested there are other merchants to do business with. It was essentially a call to boycott Borders. But what if you wind up doing business with merchants who were equally weak-willed...

What's this? And this? How about this? Answer: They are all paintings of Muhammad done by Muslim artists.

Well, maybe not quite the whole world. yahoo I think their president wants their country to commit economic suicide. What is it with people from that area and their fascination with suicide as some sort of problem solver?

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Hundreds of Syrian demonstrators stormed the Danish Embassy in Damascus Saturday and set fire to the building, witnesses said. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/02/04/syria.cartoon.ap/index.html
