The ever excellent Zombietime comments about the Danish Jyllands-Posten cartoon kerfuffle and notes that the thing that has the Islamist's knickers in a twist is that this is an image of Mohamed which is supposed to be forbidden.
Funny thing though, Zombietime has a wonderful collection of Islamic depictions of Mo'boy. Here is one:
The chunk of meteorite that Mo' is "blessing" is what is enshrined in the Kaaba -- the black cube building at Meca. The building that was engineered and project managed by Bechtel and the construction project that got BinLaden construction off the ground financially and politically. A more perfect ground zero I cannot think of! Zombietime has a lot of other collections of images of Mohamed -- European Medieval and Renaissance Images, Dante's Inferno, French Book Covers, Modern Satirical Cartoons and much much more (including the original Danish cartoons). This whole flap is a perfect example of how these thugs really understand our psychology and are manipulating the public image to garner sympathy. The riots are not spontaneous, people are bussed in, reporters are called, the riot happens and then everyone goes home...
Miniature of Mohamed re-dedicating the Black Stone at the Kaaba. From Jami Al-Tawarikh ("The Universal History" written by Rashid Al-Din), a manuscript in the Library of the University of Edinburgh; illustrated in Tabriz, Persia, c. 1315.
This is wrong . And thats it ,. These pictures should not be published , since there are no pictures of Prophet Muhammed (p.b.u.h) . No clear evidence of how he looks. and specially after knowing how hurtful it can be , these things should not be taken as a joke and Cartoons / Comics etc. should be kept seperate from Religion.
