The theme/moral of every episode can be written on his pasty cheeks and you could call it Off 'is Ass Space.

Okay, apparently according to al jazeera, the Taliban has offered a bounty of 100 kg of gold for the death of the cartoonist.

Not only that, but they are also offering 8kg of gold for the death of each Danish, Norwegian and German soldier.

I would laugh if it weren't so serious. :icon27:

woah 100kg of gold is 1.8m usd

[seremtan]

No really, you missed it utterly.

no, really, i didn't. you're referring to the obvious surface interpretation. i was referring to what was behind it

Exactly.

There is no hidden interpretation of that cartoon.

The items listed are perceptions of islam, it in no way states that islam is all any of the things listed.

[Geebs]

It's pretty double edged, actually. They are attributing a lot of things to islam which are actually the policies of political regimes

That only matters if you're 18.

So, basically the powerful neocons and the extreme israeli nationalists are behind this cartoon controversy shit. And the muslim pretty much played into that effort. I wonder if someone dares make a cartoon shitting on Israel, or on the neocons and publish that in a major US paper. God, theres an urgent need to regime change both in Washington and a major shuffle of power in the middle east. Neocons can pretty much fuck off right now.

Come to think of it, if this is a question of insulting each other's sacred cows, why isnt there a newspaper or similar publication making fun of the bullshit american troops invading Iraq? Like, I dunno, US soldiers crucified upside down, or US troops revolving like pigs in pools of iraqui oil? Or dick cheney taking a leak in an iraqui oil reserve?

[busetibi]

or maybe a bunch of mullas hoeing into spare ribs?

wtf, are you blind or something? During the Iraq war almost daily there was at least one newspaper here in Holland alone carrying a cartoon where the US is ridiculed.

lol. there has been movies, cartoons, books of every evil act(well most)commited by the western world. we have no problems whatsoever ridiculing ourselfs to the extreme. maybe it's because were not afraid to take a look deep down inside.

"westerners" put up with this kind of bullshit for hundreds of years from the christians. people being killed for questioning others truths. why the fuck would we put up with it again from islam?

i think you overstate the amount of self-criticism indulged in within western culture. we like to congratulate ourselves on our allegedly unique ability to be self-critical but from the outside (i.e. the perspective of our victims) this just looks like a complete joke

if "we" are so self-critical about our own evil acts, then why do "we" still carry them out?

[seremtan]

these are pretty weak, frankly

[busetibi]

because "we" at least are human.

So what you're saying is you don't read the newspaper?

[Dave]

Damn, how many more examples of newspaper cartoons depicting American newspapers attacking Christianity, Jews and the government do we need?

[Dave]

these are pretty weak, frankly

I doubt they were in any decent publications
