Do these two photos look similiar?
They should because they are the same! No, not a satire of Mohammed nor any other sacred Islamic figure but a photo of Jacques Barrot, a pig squealing contestant at the French Pig-Squealing Championships in Trie-sur-Baise’s annual festival. NeanderNews discovered this photo, taken by Bob Edme of AP, posted on an August 15, 2005 AP story seen here on MSNBC’s website.
As Gateway Pundit, Counter Terrorism Blog and others have reported Danish Imam Ahmad Abu Ladan, leader of The Islamic Society of Denmark, toured the middle east to create awareness of supposed anti-Islamic cartoons and included the above black and white photo as well as two other undocumented examples. Akhmad Akkari, spokesman of the tour, explained that the three drawings had been added to “give an insight in how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims.”
Akkari claimed he does not know the origin of the three pictures. He said they had been sent anonymously to Danish Muslims. However, when Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet asked if it could talk to these Muslims, Akkari refused to reveal their identity. BBC World aired a story on 1-30-2006 showing the three non-published images and claimed they had been published in Denmarks Jyllands-Posten, these images however had never been published in Jyllands-Posten.
NeanderNews wonders if Jacques knows what he has started? A big kudos to ‘The Celtic Semite’ for this great lead.
Hint: the Imam doesn't care about the true nature of the picture, so long as it suits his whackadoodle needs. None of the folks in his audience would be affected by this expose -- if they even saw it in the first place.
I dunno. Sure as shooting looks like Moo-ham-ate to me.
bump for truth.
I just heard about this story on the John Bachelor's Radio Show tonight, areafiftyone.
Anyone care to bet it won't run in the Slimes, WaPo, CNN or any of the Alphabet Networks?
Jack.
bttt
Edie Hill on Fox and Friends this morning talked about it a bit but they didn't show any pictures. This should be more in the front page section of every newspaper.
Fake but accurate..
