“Any insult to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) is an insult to more than 1bn Muslims and an act like this must never be allowed to be repeated,” said Hamid Karzai, Afghan president, strong western ally and moderate Muslim leader.

However he added, Calling for the annihilation of Jews, calling America Satan and Blowing up statues of Buddha in my own land are OK

Your link hits the nail on the head.

Throughout time there never has been an issue about depictions.

But now in our PC times, it is a matter of whining and victim-hood for all to cave in.

Can Porky Pig cartoons be next?

The link in the Malkin page to historical images of Muchmed is really fascinating.

Apparently some of the Euros are getting fed up with all of the Muzzie intimidation and bullying, and are going out of their way to "offend" them even more...
Perhaps as a way to express their collective "appreciation" for how the Middle Eastern immigrants have been treating their hosts lately.

What the Islammonazis do about it could be interesting.
They are certainly not known for their sense of humor, are they?

Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceuticals company.

I think that is the world's largest manufacturer of halal innsulin.

That means now that Moslem diabetics will have to inject pork insulin. Or just die.

Mohamed only ate pork after he had sex with it.

Don't forget the pork had to be underage.

What does not make sense is, that if the issue was having, publishing or otherwise propagating images of Mohammed - now because of the actions of angry and upset Muslims, just about everyone in the world has seen these cartoons. If not for them, then it may just have quietly faded away. So - I wonder who is really doing the religious disservice here?

Beheadings, suicide bombers, terrorism, 9/11, etc. are all OK...but don't you DARE draw Mohammed!

There is one solution to the problem--especially the last item on the list:

ONE INBOUND!!!

PC sensitivity for jihadist victimhood is going to be the death of the West.

They will probably riot over this Popeye cartoon as well, since he beats the evil Arabs.
