Yes, we all know how "hurt" Muslim sentiment has been by those Danish cartoons satirising Mohammad. And we all know that this hurt, expressed in violent demonstrations across the world, is sincere. After all, Islamic nations would never stoop to using cartoons for scurrilious purposes, would they?
These offensive images, taken from the Arab Press in Saudi Arabia and Egypt - our "allies" in the war aon terror, right?, vividly demonstrate the utter HYPOCRISY of those Islamists who now feign outrage when cartoons are published that they don't like. It seems that suggesting that Jews drink human blood is deemed fair play on the Arab Street, but Allah forbid that some cartoonist might point out that some of the followers of the ROP are a tad...violent???????????
Point well taken.
This type of image is common in the Arab Press, in a press that is always under some sort of government control. I have never heard a peep of protest from any Arab or Muslim source about it.
Some of the outrage is sincere, but it has been orchestrated by the worst sort of antisemetic bums, some of whom are govt officials.
BTW, it is to be noted that there have been no violent protests by any Jews or Israelis over these blood-libel cartoons, as opposed to the hysterical reaction to the printing of images of this Mohammad fellow.

Phantom,
I suspect you are right - it is the orchestrated whipping up of Muslim anger that SHOULD be gaining media scrutiny, it does here on the net, but big media chooses to downplay it and focus on the "hurt" - no mention of the blood libels that routinely fill the Arab press, no investigation...

We are at war. The enemy is amongst us. It's time to speak out and stand up. Troll and I attended a meeting that CAIR sponsored in Philly - there is no hope. We are dealing with insane people who are secure in their justification for killing us all.
