The “insulting you and your faith is our freedom” crowds are starting to rile up.. on each other.
Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who depicted the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban, says he will sue the maker of an anti-Islam film.
Mr Westergaard says his cartoon, which sparked riots two years ago, was used in the film by Dutch politician Geert Wilders without permission.
LMAO. Wow Geert, your own league is punishing you before anybody else managed to.
The Danish journalists’ union is suing on his behalf for copyright violation.
“Wilders has the right to make his movie but he has not permission to use my drawing,” Mr Westergaard told Denmark’s TV2.
“This has nothing to do with freedom of speech,” he said. “I will not accept my cartoon being taken out of its original context and used in a completely different one.”
(..)
Just a side note, we usually don’t accept our holy book being taken out of its original context and used in a completely different one either.
Anyhoo, I can’t help smiling over this. Who needs violence, murder, and burning flags and embassies when the idiots can smash each others’ heads in on their own? In fact, all these people deserve is getting ignored. Soon enough, their works will end up right where they belong, on the manure heap of literary history, and the most basic mistake one can do is giving them any publicity at all.
I’ll be following this brawl though, it’s simply too hilarious to be ignored

Agree about ignoring them but what a hoot
hehe, i can realy understand that u go through trouble along with anger and fury when someone uses your holy book for nothing its meant to be.
look at the old testiment of the christian bilbe its not one bit better. Wilder just used what was easy to make commotion and reaction among the masses. in wich he succeded. the short film is watch all over the world, through wich the world see islam the same way Hitler viewed the jews. personaly i’m not religious myself, but i will fight to my death for everyone, be it jew, christian, muslim, hindu or buddhist, or any other religion, to have their right to choose their religion.
i consider myself more enlightened by most people, at least my age(mid 20’s) and ii cant see why Wilders film should affend as many people as it does. anyone who knows anything about religion, and specially islam, know that muslim cherrish peace and good will towards others people. And through goodness they will spread their religous believes, not through terror and violence. very enlightened man/woman will know that terror does not work when it comes to change the heart of mankind!!
on to other problems with the film, i dont doubt the sources of this film is wrong and i believe the footage is real, it seems as it representes a small fraction of extreme islamistic movements, not hte muslim world as a whole, therefor i wonder why the muslims with a more generous view of the world dont take a standdown against their warmonging kin.
btw i dont support USA with its socalled war on terror(wich is nothing more than a campaign to controll more oil…) and therefor dont flame for being western, at least come up with more original views than “all western are the devil”
i’m not aming this at the owner of this blog, as he/she seems to be reasonable enough, but on the other hand to people with more extremist views, but still has the ability to think over stuff beofre they act…
That really is a laugh riot…like we say here…There’s no honor among thieves. Well you get the point!
i do agree with your post, iit is not good to fight violence with violence…ignoring and leaving everythg to God is best thing
Hi there, been gone awhile…
Mr Wilders is a bloody amateur! what a crappy film. He also mistook the killer of Theo van Gogh for a Dutch rapper.
Mr. Westergaard is suing – not only Geert Wilders – but also some fringe Anti-Islamisation group in Denmark for unauthorized use of his cartoon… guote from memory ” I don’t want my cartoon to be the banner of some hate-group”
You may see [K.W.] as a throughly evil, Christian Zionist Crusader who devotes his whole life to fighting Muslims. Actually he’s an old Atheist, who has no understanding of religious feelings, but a great talent of satirizing ANYTHING that can be satirized.
Now let’s look at the bomb-in-turban cartoon once more, shall we ? In the eyes of K.W the violence (by a few Muslims) in the name of Islam comes from the Prophet (his ideas in the wrong heads can be explosive) in the eyes of G.W. it comes from the Qu’ran.
Ironically, there are crazy Jihadies out there who totally agree: it IS the way of the Prophet to kill anyone who opposes (what they believe to be ) Islam and the Qu’ran COMMANDS a believer to conquer the world “by the sword”.
But this has nothing to do with you and (I pray) the vast majority of people who happen to be Muslims or me or our Norwegian friend.
You don’t run around blowing shit up, so neither the cartoon nor the film has anything to do with you. Did you see the film BTW ?
Yeah I saw it as soon as it was announced. Much to my amusement, those verses are the same old usual suspects quoted again and again and again, taken out of a completely historical context and pinned onto an alleged doctrine.
However little this film has to do with me or the likes of me, it’s still
It confirms the old stereotype to people who believe there’s no such thing as a moderate Muslim. It perpetuates this image of the lurking enemy hidden in anybody who follows this religion, and antagonizes the very people you and I say have nothing to do with all that.
This leaves the fact aside that the film insults the book revered by just about any Muslim, violent or peaceful, fanatic or moderate, conservative or liberal, so it’s hardly surprising that no Muslim speaks out in support of this as free expression.
It’s just like painting a Swastika on a synagogue and wondering why every Jew gets mad at you.
Another important point is that it portrays the “Muslim peril” as one looming monolith, all driven by one motivation and for one goal, which is complete poppycock if you ask me. The ‘jihadies’ fighting throughout the world all have totally different motivations, inspirations and goals. The sectarian strife in Iraq is.. well.. sectarian. The “insurgency” in Iraq is about resisting the invasion (the only legit form of armed Jihad in fact). The Palestinian resistance is about land. The Muslim Brotherhood is about politics. The Taliban is about power. Saddam was after his own wealth and power as well. The list goes on and on and on..
So lumping them all together is just ignorant, and makes this threat look much worse than it actually is. And this is exactly the impression this sad excuse of a movie is giving.
Long rant over
“those verses are the same old usual suspects quoted again and again and again” exactly! The verses that can be abused by, well anyone with an agenda. As I see it these verses are about some very specific historical events and should be seen as such. Unfortunately both Jihadies and islamophobes put way to much importance to them.
This film has to do with you and yours, yes. But it’s not addressing you: it addresses those who’ve already made up their minds and those who nearly have. The rest of “us” don’t buy such cheap propaganda.
Just as this website doesn’t talk to this infidel but the angry Muslim who’s already dug himelf into the sand, so to speak.
I know it’s hurtful, but do you get my point ? “Fitna” speaks to “me” about “you” and the revolutionary caliphatalites speak to “you” about “me”. None of them are interested that we speak to each other.
