"Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is
why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him,"
he told the BBC News website."

Well Hell! If Islam is all that and a bag of chips, then there is no
problem right! After all a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity would surely see the man's conversion as being from his heart!..Oh wait! This latest breaking bulletin.. the trial judge was stoned on black opiated hashish.. he did not mean that.. he meant "Death to the Infidel Apostate Dog"! That is what I thought he meant..
because if Islam was truly that tolerant.. this would not even be a topic for conversation
..Right? Right!
The USA is wasting.."How many billions" trying to turn toads into princes
or civilize rats into people?...Why? NUKE THEM! Just get all the ones who want to be Christian out first! Then NUKE their SORRY
BUMS!
After that there will be peaceful, tolerant,
kind men and women of integrity there..but they will NOT BE MUSLIM!

Odin be Praised!  Baldur Save Us!

"The Prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert from

Islam should be killed if they refuse to come back," says Ansarullah
Mawlafizada, the trial judge.

"Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is
why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him,"
he told the BBC News website."

"According to Islamic law he
should be sentenced to death
because God has clearly stated
that Christianity is forbidden in our land," says Mohammed
Qadir, another worshipper.

US President George Bush says he is "deeply troubled" by the case.
That cuts no ice with Mr Qadir.

"Who is America to tell us what to do? If Karzai listens to
them there will be jihad (holy war)."

yup, you danes can unite and the rest of europe. You can always auction out your MUSLIMS at E BAY! maybe that will help you get back economically because of the boycotts...a barrel of oil for every muslim...sounds like a good idea! since they treat their women like property, we should do the same to them. they do make good drones or target practice at the shooting range!

Well well well, after being caught on tape by French television, Imam Ahmed Akkari have suddenly developed an understanding of Danish humour, apparently his remark about sending two people who should blow up Danish politician Naser Khader and his ministry if he ever got into the government, was just a joke. It was just a part of that dark satirical Danish humour, well how about that, statements about blowing several people up is humour (still cartoons of the prophet are not!!), then can we assume that the riots, burning of embassies, burning of the Danish flag, boycotts of Danish companies, bounties on the cartoonist heads, are all just Muslims interpretations of Danish humour. If that’s the case I’m looking forward to the day where the Danes truly unite, develop their sense of humour to the Muslims level and then play a big joke on the Muslims by sending them all home to the Middle East countries.

Hello there,

I couldn't agree more with your post! I find it truly laughable that anyone from the WaBenzi tribe can point a finger at "Western" failings, when it comes to dealing with cultural threats.
The heart of this horrific poltically correct European and American behaviour has at its roots, the long defunct slave trade. White guilt at the fact of slavery quite literally immobilizes the vast majority of white Europeans and white Americans. Should anyone actually stand up on their hind legs and declare that behaviour "X" from a muslim or a black person is wrong, criminal, or even negative in some way, they are immediately accused of being a "racist" and/or a "bigot."
Mind you, if some of those individuals with a "public footing" would garner some smarts, they would point out that Arab and then Muslim cultures had been slaving for nearly 15 CENTURIES prior to one of Prince Henry's navigators rounding the Northern Cape, it might begin a dialogue.
That is of course, if we can get anyone to actually hear the fact that Modern Slavery practiced by Muslims, is STILL ongoing today.
Don't hold your breath, I shan't.
Thank you for reading this post!
Ave´ Caesare´ salutamus morituri te!!!

for those in academia, politics, media, nations and groups who defend ISLAM as a tolerant and peaceful religion.
Afghanistan has just shown more PROOF of the LIES of ISLAM!
the so called moderates keep on saying in the media and books like manual for dummies learning islam. these propogandist muslim scholars go out of their way to LIE and say the SHARIA is not part of the koran but yet they all PRACTICE it and actually belief in it in PRIVATE. the lie, deception and manipulation tactics of the muslim authorities worldwide irregardless which muslim country it comes from.
if you are not a muslim, the eyes of a muslim, you should die. tired of the lies and excuses and blaming of others by muslim. the world should have woken up hundreds of years ago. Islam or muslims do not fit with the rest of the world. their system belongs in another planet or they should be exterminated from the face of the earth or there will be no world! if you are a muslim and you turn away to another belief or non belief such as a christian, automatic death sentence, yet we in the west ACCEPT ISLAM to live among us and they can choose to BRAINWASH people in JOINING ISLAM, yet if it's REVERSE it's a death sentence. So for you atheist, YOU are next on the MUSLIM AGENDA of exterminating anyone who is not a muslim. Jews first, christian second, hindus third, buddhist fourth and on and on and YOU AETHEISTS are next! so the fundamental question is, SHOULD THE WORLD ALLOW ISLAM TO EXIST? I SAY NO!
THEY ARE A THREAT TO THE WORLD COMMUNITY AND MUST BE DESTROYED BEFORE THEY ATTEMPT TO DESTROY EVERYONE!

Where DO they find the time?

In psychiatry it's called "displacement".

Bob Doney

Ah yes... the moral authority of African diplomates.

In the middle of a day filled with their usual workload of enabling local genocide and monitoring the attendant kick-back payments into their Swiss bank accounts, they somehow
find the time to issue lectures on ethnic and religious tolerance to a continent where, unlike their own, rape and murder are actually considered "crimes."

Where DO they find the time?

Islam is in direct conflict with several provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Previously under the Taliban, anybody considered an apostate was subject to torture and death. Right now you have a legal proceeding that's underway in Afghanistan and we urge that that legal proceeding take place in a transparent matter and we're going to watch the case closely.

Now who was it that said there is no compulsion in religion?

There is a very good comment on the lego poster at the website of Elsevier (in Dutch).
Note that the ensemble of grey puzzle pieces on the poster looks like a crude map of Danmark.

http://www.elsevier.nl/opinie/weblog/asp/weblogId/4/index.html

Rahman is believed to have converted from Islam to Christianity while working as a medical aid worker for an international Christian group helping Afghan refugees in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.

He then moved to Germany for nine years before returning to Kabul in 2002, after the ouster of the hard-line Taliban regime.

Police arrested him last month after discovering him in possession of a Bible during questioning over a dispute for custody of his two daughters. Prosecutors have offered to drop the charges if Rahman converts back to Islam, but he has refused

So I guess this means that those who follow islam truly are a noble breed..sensitive, caring, tolerant, merciful and peaceful.. RIGHT!
Specious, mad dogs looks like to me!

Odin be Praised!  Baldur Save Us!

International concern
A Western diplomat in Kabul and a human rights advocate — both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter — said the government was desperately searching for a way to drop the case because of the reaction it has caused.

The United States, Britain and other countries that have troops in Afghanistan have voiced concern about Rahman’s fate.

The Bush administration Tuesday issued a subdued appeal to Kabul to let Rahman practice his faith in safety. German Roman Catholic Cardinal Karl Lehmann said the trial sent an “alarming signal” about freedom of worship in Afghanistan.

The case is believed to be the first of its kind in Afghanistan and highlights a struggle between religious conservatives and reformists over what shape Islam should take there four years after the ouster of the fundamentalist Taliban regime.

Afghanistan’s constitution is based on Shariah law, which is interpreted by many Muslims to require that any Muslim who rejects Islam be sentenced to death. The state-sponsored Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has called for Rahman to be punished, arguing he clearly violated Islamic law.

Many demand severe punishment
The case has received widespread attention in Afghanistan where many people are demanding Rahman be severely punished.

“For 30 years, we have fought religious wars in this country and there is no way we are going to allow an Afghan to insult us by becoming Christian,” said Mohammed Jan, 38, who lives opposite Rahman’s father, Abdul Manan, in Kabul. “This has brought so much shame.”

KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan man facing a possible death penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity may be mentally unfit to stand trial, a state prosecutor said Wednesday.

Abdul Rahman, 41, has been charged with rejecting Islam, a crime under this country’s Islamic laws. His trial started last week and he confessed to becoming a Christian 16 years ago. If convicted, he could be executed.

But prosecutor Sarinwal Zamari said questions have been raised about his mental fitness

We think he could be mad. He is not a normal person. He doesn’t talk like a normal person,” he told The Associated Press.

Moayuddin Baluch, a religious adviser to President Hamid Karzai, said Rahman would undergo a psychological examination.

“Doctors must examine him,” he said. “If he is mentally unfit, definitely Islam has no claim to punish him. He must be forgiven. The case must be dropped.”

It was not immediately clear when he would be examined or when the trial would resume. Authorities have barred attempts by the AP to see Rahman and he is not believed to have a lawyer

when you dont like what you see, cry 'racism'. when you dont like what you hear, cry 'islamophobe'. by all means, dont adress the criticism or examine the ironic truth within the cartoons and certainly dont stand in defense of the freedoms that you obviously take for granted, that millions died for freedoms YOU HAVE. when you are alarmed at what you disagree with, draw a ridiculous comparison, present it as fact or an emotionally charged accusation, and pray that some sucker will connect the imaginary dots and join your side. yea... that'll work.

In reply to the previous poster, substitute the word ISLAM with DENMARK and you will have hit the bulls-eye. :

"Racism, intollerance and ignorance DOES take many shapes, and ISLAM IS one of them... "

This one is not from Jyllens-Posten. It's from gringoman.com

I am not sure what you mean by:
"Articles must be read in a context. The UN context is missing - since Lego is company and not a country."

In my oppinion ignorance is the foundation for racism, and intolerance is not exactly a guideline for less ignorance. I know my blog is not constructive, and it is not trying to be. I am simply stating my frustration with living in a country that seems to care less and less about other beliefs than its own.

I KNOW Denmark is a liberal country where people are not generally racist, believe me, I will move out or go into politics if that happens, but sometimes you need to shake up things to start discussions like this one. Cool with all the reactions and comments, im loving it!

And btw... Racism, intollerance and ignorance DOES take many shapes, and Denmark IS one of them...

I expect of those who wants to settle in Denmark that they have done their homework and chosen Denmark as their new country, because they like our way of life and wants to be a part of it and that they are willing to learn the langue/respect our traditions/follow our laws/ are able to support themselves etc. etc., if that’s racism well then I’m a racist to my deepest darkest inner core and damn proud of it.

If I’m an Islamofobe when I question a belief system which is build on a book that states that all of other faiths are infidels and whose followers look upon all others as infidels and are willing to use terror, death threats and violence against anybody who do not see things their way, and whose followers in Denmark now demand that we submit to their laws and way of life, then I’m one proud Islamofobe.

In my opinion, if you immigrate to a country and you feel that country’s way of life doesn’t suit you, well then have the damn courtesy to leave it for a place more to your liking, instead of making a parallel society and impose your beliefs on the native people.

I for one prefer to be a racist/Islamofobe, because in my opinion that’s a lot better than being a dhimmi.

Lego does not break easily. Neither does Denmark:

http://www.post-boks.dk/images/obs.jpg

Jonas – from my point of view you are very welcome to call Denmark racist – it’s your right to express your self. I could only wish you would offer some constructive criticism instead of just resorting to name calling – but that’s your right – anyhow in Denmark!

I just wonder if the UN is...

gets cold feet after publishing the French cartoon.   The Editor of Y Llan, Revd Meurig Williams has resigned.   The Church in Wales is an offshoot of the Church of England which was disestablished in the 1920s.

Articles must be read in a context. The UN context is missing - since Lego is company and not a country.

About your new blog - well intolerance have many shapes. The publication of some drawing, don't have anything to with racism. It's just showing us all, how intolerant some Muslims are - and how they act.

When Muslims is offended they are yalling, racism. You are just doing the same. Not arguing - or defending your views.

Take a look at the poster i created in reply to the UN poster:
http://jonaswho.blogspot.com/2006/03/racism-takes-many-shapes.html
/Jonas

Personally I think it is great that the until now Useless Nuts have chosen to use a LEGO block on that kind of poster, because there is no way this is a coincidence and now they have actually proven that it is OK to use political/satirical pictures/cartoons to make your points of view known, so go ahead newspapers and TV stations of the western world, now you can try and show some backbone like the many websites that have taken a stand, get all those Mohammed pics reprinted on the pages and shown on the screens and let people form their own opinion and at the same time say a big NO to Islamic censorship which endangers the same freedom of expression of which you are actually making a living, there is no longer cause for concern, the United Muslims…. ups I mean the United Nations are behind you. And by the way don’t be discouraged just because you might think it is not very nice to generalise, the UN poster OK´s that too

I can’t believe the nerve of these guys – putting a LEGO on that racism poster! – how the hell do you even get the idée of associating a toymaker with racism?

http://www.ohchr.org/english/events/racism/

There can only be one way to interpreted this – at first they accused us (the Danes) of being blasphemous and started a boycott. Now when that did not work to their intent, they put a Lego on a racism poster – by using the best know Danish brand they wish to brand all of Denmark as a racist country! Of course they won’t succeed – but it has to be an all time low tying to take children hostage like this.

This is beyond me… - and hopefully many others as well!

UN???????????? what a waste!

UN is a joke. You cannot make international laws based on islamic demand, it will lead to a world war! U.S. will never go for that since the 1st amendment of freedom of speech is sacred to americans, why else you think overwhelming americans opposed the U.A.E port deal that muslims were trying to sneak into the U.S. the muslims here try to protest in colleges to no avail. if they acted physically like they do in muslim countries, they would be shot and arrested by many angry people of non muslim communities. China and russia would never allow for it cause they are communist even russia is more communist in it's approach. the idiot kofi annan would go for it cause he's of african descent who seem to accept islam. most people in the world could care less about islam. too many religions and too many different beliefs. muslims are in the losing end cause they will cause a world war 3 if they can pushing their agenda and eventually the world will attack them militarily. i guess they are quick to go collect 72 virgins per person.

Things look bleak for the Danes now that our easily bruised, sensitive and fragile muslim friends have invoked that dynamo of action, the U.N., to champion their cause and soothe their howls of pain over this cartoon atrocity.

Yes, only an organization with the hallowed reputation of the U.N. could give this issue, this atrocity, the urgent attention and gravitas it deserves, placing it rightfully ahead of other such superficial matters that dare compete for its mighty attentions, such as the famine and genocide along the Chad-Sudan border.

I've 3 little children. They like Lego and many other children do. So, let's buy more Lego to support Danmark!!!

Jan vos

The Allah commission has already taken position against Danmark in a not-to-subtle way, by connecting graphically the meme of 'racism' to Lego, a well-known Danish product. The poster suggests that racism takes shape in a particular way in Danmark. In this way, the so-called "International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination" (March 21) is used in order to attack Danmark, and freedom of speech in general.
http://www.ohchr.org/english/events/racism/

Is there really any prohibition against antisemitic speech in Europe? One certainly could have fooled me as there seems to be a fair amount these days. Of course perhaps the commenter is referring to Holocaust Denial in Austrial and Germany.

As well, it might be pointed out that Europeans might be correctly concerned about antisemitic talk, having recently killed six million Jews.

I suspect that if Europe had killed six million Muslims it might be similarly sensitive.

Freedom of expression is NOT to be stifled in any way, you pointy earred weasel!
Just because the West does not dictate to their "media" as the muslim
world does . does not make it wrong. Nor has ANY points of expressions of "shari'ia law" have ANY business in the west. If you people want the traditional things so Baaadly then get a camel back to the villages full of offal you left from. Instead of sitting on decent folks backs and sucking up every thing you can get your hands on all the whilst complaining, moaning and whining about how awful it is here in the West!
you cannot do that at home either can you?

Odin be Praised!  Baldur Save Us!

European Muslim:
 
We do understand...you do not.
 

“Freedom of speech shouldn’t be absolute,” said Habib al-Jaffry, an Islamic scholar from Yemen, noting that many European countries don’t allow anti-Semitic speech. “We must come to an understanding of rules governing freedom of expression.”

I never knew.. I never knew.. the Israelis and the Americans.. oh my gods.. of course that has to be it!
Being Native American Indian I am simple and never saw that. I have been an unwitting dupe, a pawn and all this time I thought it was because muslims were lying scum, treacherous, murdering dogs and no good and my Scandinavian is a wonderful man, who had saved me from such horrors.. All this time it was really a ruse. I have been treated horribly by Westerners, I never knew..this is so sad. I think I will go console myself with a Danish ham and cheese sandwich, an icy cold carlsberg and my Scandinavian mate. He will know what to do. I guess I truly love being subjugated by the West.. I can see no other alternatives!
All that time pure prejudice, that was all! I am glad we had this chat.. racism is an ugly thing.. so ugly sometimes we do not even know we have been victimized by it or are the oppressors even.

Odin be Praised!  Baldur Save Us!

You know Defender.. I understand how you can feel that way. Recently in a chat room during a heated discussion a
muslim psychologist told me that the reason why I was against muslims is that in my previous
marriage to a muslim, I as a former colonial was suffering from the need to be racially subjugated and exploited. I was of course, not able to accept the freeing of my psyche from such bondage, that things such as the hijab, accepting islam and being obedient to it. Not seeing how in islam a woman is cared for tenderly and with honor as well as being cherished.
That these feelings had been left indelibly upon me by my country of birth. Furthermore,
that I had been so indoctrinated
into such things that when kind, loving muslims had tried to show me the way I had lashed out in a sadly yet all too recognizably
inappropriate manner.
It seems I am suffering from a form of Stockholm Syndrome, in that I am identifying all my angers and hatred against muslims which has been placed there by America and the Israelis. ( Who knew!) That furthermore in choosing a new Scandinavian mate I have acquiesced for my need to be subjugated by aa member of a "Master Race" so that I will be able to accept the inferior role of servitude placed on me by same.
Only by embracing islam and throwing off these hateful chains will I be able to truly be free within the bonds of society.

History is repeeting itselfs.

Now the Muslim world is trying - with some kind of succes, to get UN to play their race card, like Muslims do everywhere. When some one is critical to the Muslims religion and their Sharia Law, Muslims are offended and saying it's racism.

Now UN is using a Lego brick - the symbol is very clear, since Lego is a Danish company. What would come next ... is every children who playing with Lego's racists and is every children who are using Lego's supporting JyllandsPostens Cartoons.

Of course the Muslim organisations are taking this to the UN, they are already backed by the UN racism observer Doudou Diène (Senegal), who in a fresh report calls the cartoons the worst expression of growing hate against Islam since 2001, he says they are based on old time prejudice and connects Islam with terror!!! Ooh I see it now this is of course completely nonsense, the cartoon wasn’t political/satirical, it was a declaration of war against innocent Muslims, it is all a big conspiracy thought out by Danes, Israelis, Americans and Aussies, since it is only in the cartoonist and the racist Danish peoples mind that Muslims are blowing people up, taking hostages and beheading them, trying to impose their beliefs on anybody who is not Muslim etc. etc., it is totally unjustified in any way to connect Islam with terrorism. Why oh why are we doing this terrible thing, aah we are of course jealous of the vastly superior Muslim communities and are afraid they will make us join the 21st century in which they are so far ahead that we will not be able to exist on an equal level.

Notice how OHCHR have used a block of LEGO on the "Racism takes many shapes"-poster on their website? What an amusing coincidence.

Bwaha haha ha ......
