Danish Muslims Drew the Cartoons that Caused the Violence

Here is a little-known aspect of the current violence being committed by the Muslim community at large in relation to 12 editorial drawing printed in the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten.

Basically, in order to escalate into crisis mode the cartoon situation after months of not getting a rise out of anyone....the Danish Muslim delegation (Danish Muslim imams and intellectuals) CREATED intentionally offensive drawings of Mohammed as a pig (especially offensive to non-pork eating Muslims) and then traveled to the Middle East to anger Muslim political leaders and average citizens. This they did against the country they ran to FROM the Middle East and which gave them asylum and a life in a country with one of the highest standards of living in the world. Some, like Pia Kjærsgaard of the Danish People's Party, see it as an act of treason.

....and Muslim leaders in Denmark are saying one thing in Denmark and another in Arabic on the Middle Eastern media.

Fabricated cartoons worsened Danish controversy

The controversy over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed is expanding, as more Muslims join the boycott and protests against Denmark and various European newspapers decide to publish the cartoons, mostly out of solidarity with Jyllands Posten and to make a strong political stand. One issue that puzzles many Danes is the timing of this outburst. The cartoons were published in September: Why have the protests erupted from Muslims worldwide only now? The person who knows the answer to this question is Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban, a man that the Washington Post has recently profiled as “one of Denmark's most prominent imams.”

Last November, Abu Laban, a 60-year-old Palestinian who had served as translator and assistant to top Gamaa Islamiya leader Talaal Fouad Qassimy during the mid-1990s and has been connected by Danish intelligence to other Islamists operating in the country, put together a delegation that traveled to the Middle East to discuss the issue of the cartoons with senior officials and prominent Islamic scholars. The delegation met with Arab League Secretary Amr Moussa, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi, and Sunni Islam’s most influential scholar, Yusuf al Qaradawi. "We want to internationalize this issue so that the Danish government will realize that the cartoons were insulting, not only to Muslims in Denmark, but also to Muslims worldwide," said Abu Laban.

On its face, it would appear as if nothing were wrong. However, the Danish Muslim delegation showed much more than the 12 cartoons published by Jyllands Posten. In the booklet it presented during its tour of the Middle East, the delegation included other cartoons of Mohammed that were highly offensive, including one where the Prophet has a pig face. But these additional pictures were NOT published by the newspaper, but were completely fabricated by the delegation and inserted in the booklet (which has been obtained and made available to me by Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet). The delegation has claimed that the differentiation was made to their interlocutors, even though the claim has not been independently verified. In any case, the action was a deliberate malicious and irresponsible deed carried out by a notorious Islamist who in another situation had said that “mockery against Mohamed deserves death penalty.” And in a quintessential exercise in taqiya, Abu Laban has praised the boycott of Danish goods on al Jazeera, while condemning it on Danish TV.

Gun-toting Muslims also stormed and burned the Danish, Chilean and Swedish embassy offices to the ground and went after the Norwegian Embassy, in Syria. Fortunately, they were uable to murder the embassy staff as they had been awarned and vacated the building. The Syrian government says it could not do anything to protect the embassy. They continue to run around looking for Danes and Norwegians to murder. How, by their actions, are they disproving the violent image of Mohmammed as portrayed in one of the 12 original cartoons? They seem to be only proving it to be true, very true.
