The Cartoon Jihad - In Two

Here's a fine counterpart to my recent "Trans-Shipments, Toons & Tipping Points" piece from the razor-sharp pens of Cox and Forkum. I'd put them in the Top 10 of editorial cartoonists in America, and stuff like this is why. Clck the cartoons to see them full-size on CoxandForkum.com, along with their accompanying posts:

Christopher Hitchens and Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali remind us why this matters so. But if you really want it driven home, read Tim Blair. Let's just say this isn't the first time we've faced something like this.

They'll show anti-Semitic cartoons openly, too....

Statement of the Massachusetts ACLU on Mohammed cartoons.

While it is the undoubted right of any news organ to voluntarily refrain from publishing anything�including for reasons of self-imposed taste or sensitivity to the deeply held beliefs of individuals or groups�it is not truly a voluntary act when a newspaper decides not to publish in the face of realistically perceived threats of violence.

This is a good statement, even though it features a capitalized "Prophet Mohammed". In my opinion, you have to be at least as good a prophet as Isaiah to rate a capitalized title.

I eagerly await Casey Kassem's "Prophets Top 40" show... wait, no I don't.

But it would make a fine throw-in for a Simpsons episode that features the Flanders' house.

I didn't start this cartoon war, but I intend to finish it.

One of Mohammed pease be upoun him Nation

It is a SAD thing that an artist want to do somthing BAD by some little pics.

Islam is every where & whats in the pics is not going to take any thing from us (I mean) nothing going to be changed its the opposite the people who were not having a strong faith of mohammed they are so faithfull now & the people who are not muslims they want to know who is this man & when they read about him they find the trouth they find what there souls are missing.

so in the end we are not losing any thing, and beleve me our reaction is not going to be easy.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
