Video Targets Cartoonists
Hmmm...is this getting out of hand, yet?

Link

A video was released today that shows the cartoonists of the controversial cartoon threatened with their lives. The faces of the of the cartoonists are covered by sniper targets, also the video orders Muslims to continue boycotting Danish products. The video originates from a forum that is often used by known terror groups.

1. Did any Christians ever threaten Money Python for "Life of Brian"
I'm pretty sure some were REALLY PISSED back in the day.

2. This is terrifying and disgusting.

Violent reaction to these cartoons is doing harm to Islam.

3. threatening to kill people
who state that Islam is a terrorist's religion only proves their point

4. At some point the apologists for
Islamists will finally be sufficiently embarrassed to STFU.

I doubt this will do it, however.

7. If the assassinations of people associated with Rushdie
didn't do it, nothing would really shut these apologists up. Sadly.

5. Wait a minute - if they "hate" America so much, why don't we ever see
videos like this with Bush or Tony Blair in the "crosshairs"? Seriously? I mean, who do "they" think is a bigger threat to "Islam", George W. Bush / Tony Blair, or a couple of nerdy newspaper cartoonists?

Something doesn't smell right to me. This whole controversy seems too contrived. I sense a psy-op.

Don't the Islamic people know when someone is yanking their chain (the cartoons)?
Don't the Westerners know when someone is yanking their chain (these extremist videos)?

I'm just saying...
