I have to give the Danish one thing, they have guts. I guess if there is enough of them, the Muslims will get confused over which buildings to burn down.
Danish state TV on Friday aired amateur video footage showing young members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples’ party engaged in a competition to draw humiliating cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
The video images have surfaced little more than a year after a Danish paper published cartoons of the Prophet that sparked violent protests worldwide.
The images, filmed by artist Martin Rosengaard Knudsen who posed as a member of the party for several months to document attitudes among young members, show a number of young people drinking, singing and drawing cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad.
Well, they can’t say they do not know what to expect. I wonder if they will be able (or willing) to move some form of mass publication. If anyone sends me the cartoons I would be more than happy to post them for the world to see.
The faces of the young people were blurred in most of the footage. One cartoon appeared to depict the Prophet Mohammad as a camel, urinating and drinking beer. The competition took place in early August, according to Danish media.
Another cartoon strip aired in the partly masked footage on state TV seemed to show the prophet Mohammad surrounded by beer bottles and included an image of an explosion.
Well, if the mild ones last year got that response, this one should really cause a stink. The larger part of me disagrees with this approach. Intentionally offending someone is not a pillar of rational thought. On the other hand, the Muslims have been reacting to any perceived offence for so long, that this response was inevitable.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
