US blasts cartoons of Prophet Mohammed

The United States blasted the publication by European newspapers of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as unacceptable incitement to religious or ethnic hatred.

"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the beliefs of Muslims," State Department spokesman Justin Higgins said when queried about the furore sparked by the cartoons which first appeared in a Danish newspaper.

"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression but it must be coupled with press responsibility," Higgins told AFP.

"Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable. We call for tolerance and respect for all communities and for their religious beliefs and practices."

The cartoons have caused an international furore, with protests in many Muslim nations and from Muslim political leaders.

While many European newspapers have turned the publication into a free speech debate no major US newspaper has published the cartoons.

Editors at several US news organizations told AFP they were covering the escalating row but had decided not to reprint them or air them on television out of respect for their readers or viewers.

Funny, they don't come out and say anything when you see nasty political cartoons that could be construed as offensive to Christians, thats all good!

Bunch of RoP sympathizers in the State Dept. Fuckers, RoPers would take their heads just as quick, a point that is lost to liberal PC fucks....

Man, this pisses me off....

I've said it before, but with assholes like this around....learn to figure out where east is, and buy some prayer rugs, cause they are selling out the country to the RoP....

they are missing the boat here. muslims hate the west in general. expressing respect for their relgion and its beliefs and rules only makes us look weak which is like blood to a shark. best thing we could do is simply express the general opinion that we have no other comment to make other than freedom of speech and expression is part of the fabric of western civilization leave it at that.

nothing we can say or do will improve the wests image to muslims..

is amazing to see the european's back each other on this and to have our govt express a negative opinion about their actions...

As much as we'd apparently all like to "kill 'em all", the U.S. must still work with Muslim allies in the WOT.  There's no good reason to piss them all off yet.

Quoted: I am not impressed by the US State Department position on this... ANdy

Me neither.

I kind of expected better when Denmark was one of only FIVE countries that sent troops to actively participate in the war against Iraq, and has had troops on the ground all along.

Frankly, I am STUNNED and depressed at such a statement from the U.S. State Department.

State can occasionally be a bunch of pansies, and sometimes think they're a law unto themselves.

I don't much care for 'em.

"When your enemy is angry, irritate him."  The Art of War, Sun Tzu

We should be publishing photoshopped pictures of Osama bin Laden eating pork at a whore house, while a Jewish woman wipes her ass with a Quran. This bullshit about not stirring up the ragheads that would right now love to kill us all is too much.  

How about some propaganda films of them blowing up mosques and killing children? Or beating women that wanted to vote or go to school? Maybe the CIA should start its own network in the Middle East and put out the US message. Remember Radio Marti or Radio Free Europe?  Don't forget Tokyo Rose and Hanoi Hanna. You can fight a PC war, but you sure as hell can't WIN a PC war.  

Fuck 'em. We have plenty of ammo to send them all to meet Allah. Let God sort 'em out.

Picture my ass, put that on a t-shirt and it will sell itself.

More Cartoons of Mohammed

I wonder if the Islamic protestors see the irony of responding to their being depicted as terrorist by acting like one.

Note that SOME of those "cartoons" are FAKES (namely the really offensive ones), that were never published in any newspapers, but that assholes muslim leaders from Denmark took around the middle east and showed people, CLAIMING that this was the kind of stuff they see all the time in Danish newspapers.

This whole thing pretty much blew over back in October, but then these muslim leaders from Denmark deliberately went to the muslim world to try to create outrage and anger against Denmark.  It is disgraceful, and some of my friends are seriously saying that the consider it treason.  After all, if going to another country and deliberealy trying to CREATE anger and hostility so that they will want to hurt your country and kill your contrymen isn't treason, what is?

Nothing qualifies as treason anymore.

Exactly.  Of course, a PC violation is sure to be held in contempt.
