Berlin Worried About 'Muhammad Cartoon Contest'

A far-right group in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is running a 'Muslim cartoon contest' and plans to display the works outside mosques. The move has alarmed authorities which fear it could incite violence and hurt German interests abroad, similar to the backlash that followed the 2005 publication of cartoons in Danish newspapers. The German government has voiced concern that far-right activists in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia may incite violence with plans to hold a so-called "Muhammad cartoon contest" and to stage demonstrations outside mosques in the run-up to a regional election there on May 13.

Let’s be sure to blame the cartoonists for the violence, too.

It will be hard to top this one. It's a classic.

Indeed. If I had any artistif abilities, I'd contribute something even if I could never top the above.

We either have free speech and a free press or we do not. People on the right, especially socially conservative Christians have to put up with all kinds of organic refuse (sp), and the world goes on. The press knows they can cover gay rights advocates shouting profanities at Christian high school students and nobody is going to get blown up, shot or stabbed, but they are chicken-(organic refuses) when it comes to printing anything unapproved about that murderous pedophile pagan and his band of faithful followers. (who are willing to blow themselves up to meet girls)

The MSM makes me want to puke.

I read this and I see images of collecting worms by shocking the wet ground, of how they capture carp for tagging by shocking the water and how you get rid of those pesky microscopic fruit flies with a fake piece of fruit with an attractant.

I can also see in the near future all across America plastered upon everything, on all the TV channels Islamic mockery, all in the efforts to draw the Moslems out.

Thanks Nachum.

If a cartoon can "incite violence" (that's a quote from the article), it's time they rid the society of Muzzies.

Considering how things work nowadays they will
probably outlaw cartoons.
