Danish Muslims Sought Help from Arabs (by using 3 FALSE CARTOONS)
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 12:50 PM by Julius Civitatus
This is just unreal. Apparently, a commission of Danish Muslims toured the Middle East (specially Egypt), seeking support for their outrage against the cartoons published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

What has now been revealed is that this commission ADDED 3 FALSE CARTOONS, extremely offensive, that the Jyllands-Posten never published (and I doubt would ever published, due to their pornographic nature). So, in order to add fuel to the fire, they had to add three extremely offensive cartoons THAT WERE NEVER PART OF THE 12 CARTOONS PUBLISHED by Jyllands-Posten.

Here's the report from Spiegel:


Alienated Danish Muslims Sought Help from Arabs


http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,398624,00.html

....

Quist says the dossier they shared in Egypt may have been far more damaging than the Jyllands-Posten episode -- and it may have further exacerbated misgivings between Denmark and the Arab world. In addition to the now notorious caricatures published by the newspaper which have now spread like wildfire in the blogosphere, it also included patently offensive anti-Muslim images that had been sent to the group by other Muslims living in Denmark. The origins or authenticity of the images haven't been confirmed, but their content was nevertheless damaging. Quist says the dossier included three obscene caricatures -- one showed Muhammad as a pedophile, another as a pig and the last depicted a praying Muslim being raped by a dog.


Here you have the links to the extremely offensive FALSE cartoons that sparked the outrage (NOTE: may not be office-safe):

Seems to me that, in order to incite this furore over some Western country offending their religious sensitivities, they had to LIE by adding a bunch of FALSE cartoons that were never published by the Jyllands-Posten.

Just a few questions, off the top of my head:

- Why they did that? Why the felt the need to incite this rage?
- Did they really want to start an out of control outrage?
- Why NOW? The cartoons were published in SEPTEMBER 2005? Why this timing?

2. Did you know the cartoons originally provoked no violence? They were
re-released when they didn't provoke the desired outrage and violence the first time!

Further, the original editors said they published those offensive cartoons with the intent of spurring religious dialog BUT THEY REFUSED TO PRINT CARTOONS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY>

Now do you get the picture?

Of course the Mediawhores in Europe are trying to divert attention from their own culpability.

10. I've been trying to find this exact kind of info to pass on to others
Could you point me to an article or link that explains what you just explained? I'd much appreciate it, as I'm kinda' late in coming to the details of this topic, but I've got people asking me my views and for info on it. I'd like to get educated as to the timeline and chain of events before I get back to them on their inquiries. Thanks in advance for any info you pass on.

3. Yeah, this is what I've been referring to for a couple of days
with more details than I had at the time.

Why did they do that? They wanted much larger outrage. Whether or not it would be "out of control", who knows. Once the Saudi papers got involved it got out of the Danes' control, that's for sure.

4. Does anyone remember this from Dec 2005

A play about the prophet Mohammed by the celebrated writer Voltaire has sparked outrage on the part of Muslims in the eastern French region of Gex, and in neighboring Switzerland.

5. Another piece of the puzzle...
Ha-HA...the whole time we are thinking the Muslims are going ape shit over the 'printed' cartoons, when in fact, the cartoons they are pissed about are one's that were not even printed and rejected by the Danish publisher!! These three cartoons sound more like 'Freeper' art work rather than serious political comment.

Do you think that it might be because Denmark is on the Security Council and the US is trying to line up support for an Iran attack?

United Republic of Tanzania, Argentina, Denmark, Ghana, Greece, Japan,
Peru, Qatar, Slovakia
United States Permanent Member
China Permanent Member
France Permanent Member
United Kingdom Permanent Member
Russian Federation Permanent Member

The following countries began their two-year membership term on 1 January 2006: Congo Ghana Peru Qatar Slovakia

(Side Note: Congo??--um--the UN definitely needs an overhaul)

8. Correction: those 3 mysterious cartoons had nothing to do with newspaper
Edited on Tue Feb-07-06 01:58 PM by Julius Civitatus
They were not "rejected" by the Jiland-Posten. Apparently the Muslim delegation added them to the cartoons that were actually published, in oder to spark outrage in Egypt. They don't know yet where those graphics come from, but I agree with your statement that they certainly look like "Freeper art", or something you'd find at LGF.

Also, you make a very, very good point about Denmark being part of the UN Security Council. All of the sudden these cartoons, published back in September 05, cause riots all over the Muslim world, on the very same week the UN decides the response to Iran's actions regarding their uranium enrichment.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

12. Aha!! I knew I saw that poor xerox copy image somewhere!
Why have so many latched onto this "3 other cartoons" story which is so obviously false? The first two images were obviously photographs (As seen above) and the other was so crudely drawn, I'd gather that it was something whipped up for this story going around...

9. Iran, maybe?
This certainly takes Iran's nuclear defiance off the headlines... and Denmark is a member of the UN security council.

11. New York Times also mentioned it in their editorial
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/opinion/07tue2.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

The cartoons were largely unnoticed outside Denmark until a group of Muslim leaders there made a point of circulating them, along with drawings far more offensive than the relatively mild stuff actually printed by the paper, Jyllands-Posten. It's far from the first time that an almost-forgotten incident has been dredged up to score points with the public during politically sensitive times.

13. Good catch --- Muslims can be CIA too, can't they?
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. The Bad Guys are in charge and on the loose.
