Cartoons Ignite Muslim Protests
posted Saturday, 4 February 2006
Some cartoons in a Danish newspaper have Muslims all over the world protesting.
The drawings of the Prophet Muhammed first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September but are being reprinted in papers across Europe and even on Jordan. One cartoon shows Muhammed wearing a turban fashioned into a bomb.
In Iraq, the country's top Shiite cleric denounced the drawings, which he describes as "horrific." Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani suggested militants have helped create "a distorted and dark image" of Islam. Umm.....actually Islam has created "a distorted and dark image" of Islam. You are all pissed off over a stupid cartoon but strapping a load of explosives to your 10-year-old and sending him into a public square to detonate himself is ok? I don't get it.
Damn, the truth hurts, doesn't it?
