And a little cartoon shall lead them?

Now the Muslims went and done it. They have unleashed the full wrath and ire of the liberal elite. From here:

CAIRO (Reuters) - Outrage spread in the Middle East on Thursday after more European newspapers published cartoons that Muslims say insult Islam and the Prophet Mohammad.

Tunisia and Morocco banned copies of the French tabloid France Soir, which on Wednesday reprinted cartoons originally published by Danish daily Jyllands-Posten last September. Muslims consider any images of Mohammad to be blasphemous.

In the Gulf state of Qatar, the Carrefour supermarket said it had stopped selling products from Denmark.

Presidents Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran joined the criticism of the cartoons, which have provoked widespread protests and boycotts against Denmark.

"Muslims should display firm reaction to such disgraceful acts," state television quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in a telephone conversation with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

But despite the many protests by Islamists and Islamist nations, many publications have nonetheless published the cartoons:

Publications that printed part or all of controversial cartoon

Jyllands-Posten (Danish); WeekendAvisen (Danish); Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (German); Magazinet (Norwegian); Brussels Journal (Belgium); DV (Icelandic); Die Tageszeitung (German); France Soir (French); Die Welt (German); Tagesspiegel(German); Berliner Zeitung (German); La Stampa(Italian); El Periodico(Spanish); Volkskrant (Dutch); NRC Handelsblad (Dutch); Elsevier (Dutch); Die Zeit (German); al-Shihan (Jordanian); Le Soir (Belgium); Le Monde (French); BBC (UK);

Curiously gone now is the tolerance; the sensitivity in which the liberal elites have given Islam safe harbor since 9/11.

Which begs the question--why the sudden backlash against Islam by the elite liberal media?

After all, any enemy of George W. Bush and conservative America has been, at the very least, considered good propaganda. The mainstream liberal media have become their own versions of "Al Jazeera light", and have as much as said that Muslim aggression has been our own fault; that our efforts to create a free Iraq have merely fueled the insurgency and their aggression, and have left the innocent Muslims no choice but to blow themselves up, splattering the remains of innocent men, women and children all over the walls of a crowded marketplace or even an ice cream shop. Surely the Muslims have had no other choice when faced with the imperialist might of the United States in an unjust occupation.

So why the backlash now?

When it comes down to it, it is the liberal elite "culture of self" that I alluded to in a post the other day. The main thing that the self-absorbed liberal elite hold dear, above all else, is their personal freedoms (i.e., freedom of expression, freedom of debauchery, freedom of perversity, freedom of infanticide). The Muslim uproar against the cartoons are simply a threat to their personal freedom of expression.

The beheading of innocents? All in a day's work. Suicide bombings at weddings, funerals or a crowded marketplace? Justifiable homicide to end an unjust imperialist occupation.

But when muslims start messing with their freedom of self-expression??

All bets are off!


Muslims of the world--you have done it now. You have awaken the ire of a sleeping giant.

You think that a scorned woman was bad.

You have now incurred the wrath of the leftist moonbat.

Be very afraid.
