THE publication of caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammed was the trigger for a failed attempt to bomb passenger trains in Germany, police have concluded.

One of the main suspects, Youssef Mohammed el Hajdib, who was arrested in Germany on August 16, "interpreted (the cartoons) as an insult to Islam by the western world,'' Joerg Ziercke, the director of Germany's federal police, told Focus magazine in an interview to be published on Monday.

He and the other main suspect in the failed plot, Jihad Hamad, who was arrested in Lebanon on August 24, were also influenced by the killing of the al-Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in June, the police chief said.

El Hajdib and Hamad are suspected of having hidden bombs in suitcases on two regional trains in Germany. In all five men have been arrested as part of the investigation, three in Lebanon and two in Germany.

No sense of humor in these sand monkees.


Who wants to go to a heaven that isn't any fun?

[kjo]

These people are barbarians, plain and simple. We have to blow them back into the seventh century where they belong.

[OneRatToGo]

Just one more indication that those cartoons were right on target!

[ncountylee]

Wonder if German papers even published the cartoons? Of course, that would not matter to these Mad Moe followers.

[kinoxi]

Cartoons make them kill. Everything was fine until some evil cartoonist offended their delicate sensibilities. You see it's not islam, it's that blasted printing press. Everything will calm down just as soon as we submit and regress to the 7th century. God I hate islam.

Like this one?

Anybody know where I can find some printable versions of any of these cartoons?

[johnny7]

Bullshiite... the fazools had every intention of doing it anyway.

[Explorer24]

There's always an excuse.

[observer5]

I guess the Mooslime, with Mohammed as their leader, are the only ones allowed to offend everyone else....

Littles jackasses follow one big Scumbag, Mohammed! (Crap be upon him)

Terrorists are dingbats!

Let's give the ignorant Mahometan baboons a REAL reason to be angry at us.

They were going to blow people up because of cartoons? Actually, they were going to blow people up because Islamatics are blood-thirsty psychopaths.

Yeah, sure, this is only a tiny minority of a religion that is doing this.

BS! There seems to be an endless supply of both terrorists, potential terrorists and terror supporters. This is a war with islam and if the "peaceful" moslems don't want to be included in the war then they should either actively eliminate those who are "hijacking" their religion or be included with what appears to be the majority of muslims in the war with civilization.

There seems to be four types of muslims: retired terrorists (the old), current terrorists (the majority), future terrorists (the young) and potential terrorists (the "moderates").

I'm inclined to include them all as one until it can be otherwise proven -- and hard actions, not nice words are what will prove it otherwise.

These guys are hilarious!

Their agenda to kill the infidel proceeded these cartoons . I say give them their 72 virgins as quickly as possible and I hope they look like Madelin Albirght and Barbara Mikulski .

[Lady Jag]

Come on, little Muslim thingy, you!

[lionheart 247365]

Penguins for peace ??

[Lady Jag]

Virgins for hunting Muslims?

They "interpret" the cartoons to be an assault on Islam but the wanton murder of innocent people is NOT an assault on Islam?

These freaks need to die in large numbers and right soon.

[msnimje]

This whole cartoon thing is weird because I had an argument several years ago with a leftist telling me we are in their cross-hairs because of the US government's actions.

I said, "They would find their motivation to kill and destroy on the back of a cereal box." I had no idea how right I was.

Yeah, sure it was. If it wasn't that, it was something else. I've never seen a people who look so hard for reasons to be offended.

[Prime Choice]

Gee...I wonder what cartoons sparked the Muslim attack on the USS Cole, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, etc...etc...etc...

Just wondering about all this makes me hungry for a grilled moHAMmed-and-cheese sammich!

[LukeL]

I have wondered, since no paintings of Mohammed exist, how do they know when it is suppose to be Mohammed in a cartoon? By this logic anyone named Mohammed is an infidel and should be killed because they are themselves a depiction of the holy prophet.

[WashingtonStateRepublican]

Mad Muslims are such funny people. If a little cartoon depicting a child molester..("their self proclaimed prophet") upsets them, then I would recommend providing them with a secluded island all to themselves where they can peacefully blow themselves up.

[verum ago]

wtf?! are they blaming the bombing on the cartoons?

[csvset]

wtf?! are they blaming the bombing on the cartoons?

Of course!

* Plan B was to blame it on Qur'an desecration at Gitmo.

[El Gato]

Anybody in Texas got a newspaper that would reprint the offending cartoons? Maybe we can suck a bunch of these Jihadies in, and deal with 'em Texas style. Not that we don't have considerable numbers of them in Arlington, Dallas, and Houston.

[El Gato]

They "interpret" the cartoons to be an assault on Islam but the wanton murder of innocent people is NOT an assault on Islam?

Of course not. "Islam" means "submission", not "peace" as some would have you believe. Now submission can be voluntary, but with the Jihadies, it's submit or die. I prefer that they do the dying. I work to ensure that outcome whenever I can.

[msnimje]

"Islam" means "submission", not "peace" as some would have you believe.

I have been wondering why a religion that REALLY strives for peace would have to come up with a team motto like "religion of Peace?"

[mcg2000]

How do these guys rationlize throwing around "the ol' pigskin"??
