South Africa: Islamic cleric calls for free speech restrictions over Motoons
“So it is made out, George Bush-style, that you are either for freedom of expression or against it!” Yep. “Zapiro: Drawing the Line: Zubair Bayat,” from Dispatch Online, May 29: [...] Two things are wrong with Zapiro’s cartoon. Firstly, any attempt to depict him in illustration is an attempt…
South African paper that published Motoon: “We regret the offense caused by the cartoon and the pain experienced by many Muslims around the country.”
Honestly: Pain? If a cartoon is that much of a source of emotional suffering — especially compared to the crimes committed daily by what we’re told are “hijackers” and “misunderstanders” of Islam — your priorities are seriously out of order, to say the least. And that again proves the…
And now, a moment of moral equivalence from the Iranian media
The implication here is absurd, but predictable. That is, the notion that 6,000,000 Jews killed in the Holocaust, as well as the millions of members of other groups the Nazis attempted to exterminate, is an atrocity equal to a cartoon about Muhammad, or jokes about Islam in general. Frankly,…

Note also the sense of entitlement to special treatment. “Muslims urged to react,” from iAfrica, May 22…

This case offers proof yet again of Sam Harris’ observation (quoted by Brad Thor here): The position of the Muslim community in the face of all provocations seems to be: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you. Of course, the…
South African cartoonist gets death threats for drawing in which Muhammad tells shrink, “Other prophets have followers with a sense of humor!”
Another worthy item for our Thank You For Proving Our Point Department. “Cartoon gets Zapiro death threats,” by Bianca Capazorio for the South African Press Agency and Reuters, May 22 (thanks to Rick): Days after an alleged al-Qaeda operative detailed sketchy plans to attack World Cup teams over cartoons…
Muslims try to burn down Motoonist Lars Vilks’ house
Worth committing arson for Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks has enraged Islamic supremacists by drawing the cartoon of Muhammad above. There have been multiple attempts on his life, and now this. Swedish language story here (thanks to Fröken Sverige). Will the West defend the freedom of speech?…
