من: آره دختر جون. الان میام دارم برات آب میارم.

من: خوب مانی! چی رو برات بکنم؟

دختر کوچولو: نه مانی. خودم کندیدم.

Den 30 september 2005 offentliggjorde den Danske avis Jyllands-posten 12 karikatur tegninger af profeten Mohammed. Mohammeddanerer rejste en storm af protester og 2 af tegnerene gik under jorden efter at have modtaget døds trusler. De Islamiske organisationer forlangte en undskyldning fra den danske regering og hændelsen udviklede sig til en verdens-omspændende diplomatisk krise. Organisationen "Den Islamiske konference", Europa rådet og FN kritiserede den Danske regering for ikke at have iværksat repressalier mod Jyllands-posten. Den Danske Statsminister Anders Fogh Rasmussen forsvarede pressefriheden samt ytringsfriheden og fastslog at eventuelle represialier, hvis nogen, ikke kan iværksættes af regeringen men kun i en dansk retssal. I mellemtiden afbrændes det Danske flag og Danske produkter tages ned fra hylderne i flere islamiske lande. Mange lande har hjemkaldt deres Ambassadører fra Danmark og bevæbnede mænd har angrebet EU's kontor i Gaza striben.

On the 30th of September 2005 the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed. Mohammedans raised a storm of protest and two artists went into hiding after receiving death threats. Islamic organisations demanded an apology from the Danish government and the incident turned into a world-wide diplomatic issue. The OIC (the Organisation of the Islamic Conference), the Council of Europe and the UN all criticised the government of Denmark for not taking measures against the newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen defended the freedom of the press and free speech and stated that any measures, if appropriate, could not be taken by the government but only by a court of law. Meanwhile in Islamic countries Danish flags are burned and Danish products are taken off the shelves. Several countries have withdrawn their ambassadors from Denmark and armed men attacked the office of the EU in the Gaza strip.

The Iranian bus drivers are detained in Evin prison when protesting for their wages. Iranian media are forced to keep silent on Tehran Bus drivers. The Iranian bloggers, those with conscious choice, are supporting the cause a.k.a. human rights!

Elham Afrotan and six other journalists employed by the provincial weekly Tamadone Hormozgan, who were arrested on 29 January for "insulting Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic" face heavy prison sentences if not the death penalty.

...more on When Iran's Supreme leader is MISTAKE-PROOF BY DESIGN!

Freedom of speech comes with responsible behavior. It doesn't mean thrusting racism up Muslims' face by demeaning what is holy to them and all these in the name of Freedom of Speech!! These cartoons are politically incorrect. We never see a cartoon of Christ having bombs around his head (he was from the Middle East after all!) Or two Jews sitting in Auschwitz speaking about who will taste better! A racist cartoonist draws politically incorrect cartoons! At the same time... what is surprising is that we never see such reaction when there is a beheading, stoning, and execution in the name of Islam!!

I had linked to this on November-6th-05 but again.. it's here.

Jyllands-Posten: Muslimer overalt i verden er blevet såret over Muhammed-tegningerne. Men nu skal vi arbejde os ud af krisen, sagde Abu Laban under fredagsbønnen i København.

Translation: Muslims around the world are heated/frustrated over Muhammad’s cartoons. But.. now we have to walk ourselves out of the crises, said Abu Laban in Friday’s prayer in Copenhagen

I say: let us see!
jeg siger: lad os se!

Pooya Dayanim said that there are plans underway now for the entire union of 17,000 to go on strike Friday in solidarity with their co-workers now in prison. "The workers in Iran are denied the most basic of human rights. The right to work, to earn a living, and be able to negotiate their salaries. The fact they are asking for labor rights and being tortured and detained and their infant children are being dragged with them to prison is a dramatic example of human rights violations in Iran," he said.
