Question

That cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb on his head?

If there aren't any pictures of the prophet in existence because it's
against muslim law, then how do all those extremist muslims know it is
*their* Mohammed? It could be Verdigris with a white robe on for all
they know.

 

Except, IIRC, one of the other representational figures mentions him by
name.

There's loads of muslims called Mohammed. He could have been a bloke
from Bradford called Mohammed Khan.

I don't know the answer to that, but FWIW the latest Private Eye
[1] has a description and analysis of all 12 cartoons on page 6.




[1] Mine arrived today by subscription- it's dated 17th Feb,
Valentine picture of Brown and Blair on the front. I guess it'll
hit the newsstands tomorrow or Friday.

Except that it's just not true

Looks like he's planting a bomb in that second picture :O

 

Pieces be upon him ...

 

If publishing the cartoons makes enough moslems enraged, then
reflective: "Hang on! This isn't us, this is the way other see us,
perhaps we'd be better shopping the extremist bastards who have hijacked
Islam.", then they'll not have been in vain.

Private Eye has a picture of the demo last week.

There's a woman holding up a poster saying BEHEAD THOSE WHO
INSULT ISLAM. There's a bloke in a hoodie holding up a poster
saying MASSACRE THOSE WHO INSULT ISLAM.

And there's a bloke shouting: "How dare these cartoonists
stereotype Muslims as violent, aggressive and filled with hate
towards the West!"
