Demonstrative Demonstrations

Once again, the Gazans are busy whining and seething. This time, they're busy complaining about the republication of the Mohammad cartoons, which happened two weeks ago after Danish authorities cracked an assassination plot against Kurt Westergaard, one of the cartoonists.

Flags were burned, and the demonstrators expressed their ire against the likes of Denmark, the US, and Wikipedia (which refuses to stop publication of the cartoons at the heart of the matter). Brian at Snapped Shot has photos of the ongoing demonstrations. Michelle Malkin has more. The editors have done their best to crop the heck out of the photos to sanitize the messages of hatred and venom.

They're busy burning effigies of Westergaard (and jumping over the flaming carcass?) in Pakistan [ed: added location for clarity]. Seriously. What is this about? Getty Images has a whole bunch of these types of photos.

I have to wonder just how many of the protesters actually know what Wikipedia is.

Demonstrations also took place in Indonesia and Kuwait, where one of the signs indicated that the demonstrators are more than willing to sacrifice their sons for the cause. How comforting.



Syria warns that the cartoons will lead to a religious war. Right, as though the ongoing jihad against the West by the Islamic co-religionists is to be ignored?

UPDATE:
Jammie notes that the Islamists are sure to start complaining about snack foods before long. You see, some actually use alcohol to tease out additional flavors, but are in minute quantities so are therefore not included on ingredient lists.

A tiny amount of alcohol is used in some products as a chemical agent to extract flavour.

The use of alcohol was discovered by Besharat Rehman, who owns a halal supermarket in Bradford, and reported in the Eastern Eye. Mr Rehman said: “Our suppliers were unaware of the alcohol. Walkers must make it clear on the packaging so customers can make an informed choice.”

Shuja Shafi, who chairs the food standards committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, said that he intended to investigate. “Certainly we would find it very offensive to have eaten food with alcohol.”

Right, it would be offensive to eat foods containing alcohol, but you don't seem to have a problem with co-religionists turning into suicide bombers and slaughtering innocents. I find that highly offensive.

UPDATE:
Charles at LGF points out that the AP is busy calling the protestors torching Danish flags human rights activists. George Orwell would be proud.

Does that make me a human rights activist according to the AP if I publish the Mohammad cartoons to protest the jihadis who blow stuff up in the name of Allah? I didn't think so.
