“Outside the Danish embassy in London, demonstrators burned the Danish flag before ripping it apart. Scuffles broke out at Hyde Park Corner, as marchers clashed with a motorcyclist who called them “extremists”. He was protected by police as some demonstrators surrounded him.

Anjem Choudhary, one of the leaders of the demonstration, refused to condemn the threat of another suicide attack in London on the scale of the July 7 bombings as a result of the perceived insult to Islam. “I am not in the business of condoning or condemning,” he said. “The fact is that 7/7 was brought upon the people of London and Britain by the foreign policy of Tony Blair. There is no reason why there should not be more suicide bombings in London.”

Passersby stopped police officers to ask why the marchers were being allowed to carry banners threatening further suicide attacks in the city. One police officer replied: ‘Don’t worry. We are photographing them.’”

Right now they are exceeding their bandwidth, so you can’t see it.

Denigrating Mohammed plays right into the hands of the terrorists’ propaganda about the West’s contempt for Islam. It exacerbates the sense of inferiority and injury of many Muslims, and the terrorists rely on this sense of inferiority and injury in their recruiting.

The Western media would be better advised publish the anti-semitic and anti-Western cartoons shown in the Arab media.

I have a background in Soviet Studies. I always tried to find the Soviet media admitting what the Communist Party was doing. Because the media was a mode of communicatin with the Communist Party, these admissions could be found, albeit in distorted form. This way, I couldn’t be dismissed as “anti-soviet.”

Here are an that suggests that Western media show readers the disgusting cartoons in the Arab media, which is state-controlled:

“Muslims all over the world are outraged over a series of cartoons that have appeared in European newspapers in recent months that feature the prophet Mohammed in ways that suggest he condones terrorism….These same outraged folks, however, have yet to express a peep of protest over cartoons that routinely appear in the Arab press, which poke fun at the 9/11 attacks and the Holocaust.

Mideast media watchdog Tom Gross has collected on his Web site a few of the cartoons that keep some of these sensitive souls in stitches…One knee-slapper that ran Qatar’s Al-Watan newspaper nine months after the 9/11 attacks shows former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon watching as an Israeli plane crashes into the World Trade Center. The Arabic words alongside the Twin Towers are “The Peace”…Then there’s the cartoon that appeared in the Jordanian newspaper Ad-Dustur in October 2003, which depicted the railroad tracks to Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The punchline? Israeli flags have replaced the swastikas flying above the death camp – with a caption that reads: “Gaza Strip or the Israeli Annihilation Camp” …And for those who can’t appreciate the humor in that tableau, there’s always the cartoon that ran in Saudi Arabia’s Arab News in April 2002, which shows Prime Minister Sharon wielding a swastika-shaped axe to chop up Palestinian children”….As Mr. Gross notes: Most print media in the Arab world are under the full or partial control of the ruling regimes. “
