Stand up for Freedom of Speech

French paper reprints Danish Mohammad cartoons

A French newspaper reprinted on Wednesday a series of 12 Danish newspaper cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad that have sparked protests in the Muslim world and prompted Saudi Arabia to recall its ambassador from Denmark.

The France Soir daily said it had published the cartoons in the name of freedom of expression and to fight religious intolerance, saying a secular country like France could not be bound by the precepts of any religion.

There was no immediate reaction from Muslim leaders in France, which is home to the largest Islamic minority in Europe.

“The publication of 12 cartoons in the Danish press has shocked the Muslim world for whom the representation of Allah and his prophet is banned,” France Soir said in a front page comment below one of the controversial drawings.

“But because no religious dogma can impose its view on a democratic and secular society, France Soir publishes the incriminated cartoons,” it said.

The German paper Die Welt also re-printed them.die_welt.jpg

I’m not going to be one-upped by France Soir. Here they are. Two of the most objectionable full-size, followed by a strip of all twelve (click to expand). And, just to be and ‘equal-opportunity offender,’ I’ve also shown the infamous Piss Christ (which sparked a fair amount of bombast in 1987, but no boycotts, recalled ambassadors, or bomb threats.)

Will the NY Times, the London Times, La Prensa, La Repubblica, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, O Globo, the Buenos Aires Herald, and others also stand up for free speech? Looks like it! BBC NEWS: Muhammad cartoon row intensifies: France Soir, Germany’s Die Welt, La Stampa in Italy and El Periodico in Spain all carried some of the drawings.
The Jawa Report has been re-printing the cartoons for some time now. Good for Rusty et al. Our favorite Egyptian blogger, Sandmonkey, joins in with Let’s boycott the boycott. Michelle Malkin is on the case, with a re-print.
How about some other bloggers? Ann Althouse mentions the France Soir item, but doesn’t re-print the cartoons. Same with Instapundit. Seems to me, since we bloggers are all so “free-wheeling new media” and all that, we should not shrink from re-printing the actual cartoons. Except for Lefte bloggers; since this is not George Bush intimidating free speech, they don’t care; “it’s not my beat” they will claim.

    David,

    Did the “Religious Right get bent out of shape” about Piss Christ? Sure. I recall some news ont TV, and some speeches.

    As Reynolds noted, “if you want your religion not to be mocked, it helps to have a reputation for senseless violence.”

    That’s sort of why, I think, popular culture and many other things in this country have become a free-fire zone on Christians (although I am not one) and these same things clam up when it comes to Islamic countries.

    PRECISELY. It’s one thing to be offended–everyone’s offended by *something* on occasion (even me), but we (the civilized) don’t go on the attack when it happens.

    ENORMOUS difference between the Piss Christ reaction and this.

  9. David Anderson wrote:

    Well, I dont want to get into a pissing contest about this one since:

    1. I dont really care all that much about the subject, except to say all religions should be respected.

    But I will answer you with this:

    1. How many abortion clinics have been bombed by Right Wing Religios freaks.
    2. How many law enforcement officers and innocents have died.
    3. How many corporations and networks have been picketed, boycotted, etc. Because Right Wing Christians did not like something, Can you say “Disney likes Gay people,” etc.

    No, I dont like what the Islamist are doing, as I clearly said in my comment above. But there is a big difference. Islam is part of the government of some of the countries that protested, not simply the religion of it’s people. If we had a theocracy here and a major newspaper in some country ran Piss Christ Cartoons, I am sure our government would protest as well.. Shall I remind you of Congressional resolutions on “Freedom Fries.” The violence and threats of violence are simply part of the culture in that part of the world, and have as much to do with Macho Tribalism as they do with Islam.

    I am not going to run the damned cartoons, not because I support what the Muslims are doing, or that I have a liberal aversion to Freedom of the Press, but simply because I respect everyone’s religion and because unlike many who attack Islam without knowing a single Muslim, I have Muslim friends who are decent, hard working Americans who are as dedicated to their religion as I am to mine, and who despise what some have done to their religion. When you make fun of the Islamic Radicals by running cartoons of their prophet, you also offend those who may hold common ground with you on many issues, including terrorism, but who happen to believe in the Koran.

    David,

    “except to say all religions should be respected. I respect everyone’s religion … I have x friends who are decent, hard working Americans who are as dedicated to their religion as I am to mine,”

    Fine. I am a decent hard-working American, too. I hereby declare George W. Bush to be the Prophet of my new religion, The Third Church of High Wingnuttery.

    Now take down every last disrespectful post to the Prophet G. W. Bush, PBUH, that you have on your site.

    Do you see the problem here? If anyone can declare that “X” is their religion, and therefore ‘out-of-bounds’ and sacred, it sure is an effective mechanism for shutting up those who disagree. And THAT is whole point of my post. Those f*ckers cannot, on their own say-so, tell me what I can or cannot say, just because they declare it is their ‘religion.’ Nor can Eric Rudolph kill people on similar grounds.
    And, David, if you DO happen to piss me off, and not respect the Prophet GWB, I’m gonna fly a few airplanes into some buildings in San Jose. Just so you’re warned. :)

    PZ Myers went off on this subject, with his post, Planet of the Hats. But like any good Lefty, Myers (almost without exception) only complains about the perceived excesses of American Christians.

    There have been 2,842 American deaths as a result of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism in that time.

Well, I guess that makes up for a few burnt cities and approximately 5,000 torched cars. You know, Muslims have a lot nerve whining about being offended. It would seem that the French (and believe me it kills me to stick up for the French) got it a lot worse than Muslims, after all a bunch crazed Frogs didn’t go and burn down a Muslim city, just printed funny cartoons. That they ripped off from the Danes never the less.

    I can understand being upset over having your religion mocked, but is that what is happening? Most of the images presented do not appear to mock anything.

    Being upset doesn’t warrant advocating wanton murder like what happened in madrid or london, which has been done.

The more violent they respond to these cartoons the more it proves the point of the cartoons. In western society kids get picked on that don’t like getting picked on. Once you learn to laugh at yourself and move on with your life you stop getting picked on. The Muslim world needs to get over their crazy ideoligies that make their situations more desperate. They have to grow up. My dad told me once. If they laugh at you laugh with them before long they won’t laugh at you. Guess what it worked. Get over it Islam!

    They provide some very valid reasons to be disgusted with them and hate them. So, when someone posts cartoons about them, and they have the opportunity to show that they can take a joke, they want to stomp all over the free speech of everyone.

    The most disturbing event is not the cartoons, but the fact that muslims will go kidnapping people and send deadtraps because of cartoons of a guy who has been dead for centuries.

    If you draw a cartoon making fun of the president, of the christian god or the buddha, the most you would get is a tongue slashing and may be someone will call you a bidgot. But no one is going to try to kill you.

    This says a lot more about muslim as a religion that anything else.

I completely support the right of these newspapers to print such inflamatory material; however, institutions which are given such broad and unchecked powers have a huge responsibility not to abuse them. Whoever made the decision to print or reprint such material should have a heavy conscience. He or she made a terrible decision. I would never support any type of public reprimand because no law was broken, but a mistake was made and that mistake should be acknowledged by the paper(s). It is when people abuse our basic freedoms that these freedoms are questioned by the public and authorities. The editor needs a good lecture on the duties of public service.

You blow SH#$ up, decapitate people, and hang signs of violent warnings when protesting down the “free” streets that you live in. I think we are in the right to not like you.

We think your religion is demented. We don’t care if you came from Egypt, Iraq or Iran. Throughout all the articles I’ve read since this nonsence has kicked off is how outraged the Muslim society is and how discraceful it is to them. They are so very outraged by the depiction of Mohammud being depicted with a bomb on his head. Well, isn’t that what the crazy FU#$ preached? To kill the infidels? I have a question, who defines infidels in the Muslim religeon? Rember the crusaides when the Muslims went country to county “cleansing” the world of the “infidels”?!!

Now, with all that said, I do want to let everyone know that I have a very dear friend of mine who is Muslim. This does not affend him for he knows why I write these words. It is not that every Muslim is like what we see on T.V. Nor is it that every American is the way we are partrayed on T.V.

    Wow, what a concept! So this is what a Blog is huh? Anyhow, I love it. I can see it now, Bloggers ignite World War III. That’s ok, I’m down with it. I’m sick and tired of this terrorist ****. These evil f’ing people need to stop killing other people! I’m very happy for whatever religion anyone is into, but it’s not my religion, so stop being so goddamn righteous. After 911 I picked up one book to learn what I could about Militant Islam. The one thing that stuck with me is that the Muslim religion calls for completely taking over the land for which it is practiced… and very clearly includes the government. Since this contradicts everything I’ve ever been taught about separation of church and state, I have concluded that as much as I cannot stand religous intolerance, I’m not sure that I can recogice Muslim as a religion at all. … at least not within the framework of my beliefs. So what does that leave us with… I guess just a huge faction of people that try as they might will never achieve what their religion calls for on a free and democratic land. Oh yeah, and by the way, a certain faction of that group is made up of a bunch of psycho cold blooded, cowardly, calculating murderers. And by the way, I’ve met some fantastic Muslim people in my life and for the most part, it seems like a very pleasant religion. However, I will not be happy until I see the Muslim population publicly denouncing what the terrorists continue to do. I know this happens to a small degree, but I need to see a dramatic increase, and in fact I would actually like to see some action. Why don’t the good Muslims go kill the crazy ones? If my own brother went crazy and started killing people, I’d take him out myself. It would suck I’m sure, but I would do it. Ok, my last thought, I promise. To be fair, I was raised Italian Catholic. Baptized, First Communion, CCD and finally Confirmation. I am still religious in my own right to this day, at the age of 36. However, it is a very private thing with me. I do not attend church, but I do pray and I do have faith. I do not pretend to understand it completely because I’m smart enough to know that not everyone can be right (meaning all religions think they know how it all went down… BS!) but I do consider myself at least somewhat Religious. The thing is… I may have been going to church to this day but frankly, I was absolutely disgusted years ago when I learned of widespread coverup on the part of the Church for all the crazy sick priests diddling little boys. For Christ sake, I have a 4 year old son! I’m done with the church. I will readily admit that the Catholic Church helped to make me a better person. It kept me in line and it made me want to be a good person. I feel like I’m a good person today and alway do un to others, but I’m still down on organized religion. I’ve turned my back on organized religion and intend to leave it to the young (because I don’t think it can hurt) and to the weak minded. Maybe it is time some other people take a good hard look at their religion too.

    ok, I’m confused, who is Get Bent talking about? Who is the imposter? I hope he’s not talking about me for chiming in with my own 2 cents, but I’m new to this and last night was my first posting. To be clear, I also think making fun of someone’s religion is disgusting, but does not come close to trumping freedom of speech and expression. Though the cartoon was in poor taste, I think it brought a bigger problem to the surface. I’m scared of all Muslims now and I shouldn’t have to be. Now that this can of worms is open, I say we ride it out. I say you bloggers do what the military cannot or will not. Teach these crazy people how to keep their religion to themselves. If we piss them off enough, maybe they’ll come out of their holes so we can kill them. … the militant ones that is. By the way, I heard that the Arab world called for the death of the Danish Cartoonist and anyone that had anything to do with it. In America, this kind of threat is illegal and the people who issued the threat should be punished. The Law of the land must always supercede religion and as long as the Muslim world has that backwards, there will always be a faction of Muslims that constitute a global threat to the “civilized” world.

Yes freedom of speach is part of the danish culture, however since when do some of the muslim nations give there people the “right” of this freedom of speach,by letting them demostrate ??? The danish government never needed to give a dane permission to demostrate, because the danes are born free. And the danes have never needed to become violent, to get there point across, they just excercise there right to freedom of speach and expression.

    Do not express regret it is morally correct and one should not at all be regretful over any thing that humiliates? We are human and must conform to our dignity and principle together; whether soles are being lost. It will never be noteworthy even if it has been realized that how many people are expired in demonstration. I sense, this is the pattern we are going to leave for our forthcoming age bands. Our upcoming generations will inherit such uncivilized rivalries and disparities. Children are being toauht that they should never apologize even if humanity is losing life because of your action. It does not really matter for us whether these cartoon are contributing in the tendency of the hostile-battles and extremism, and of course, it is the abet to humiliate every religion of the world by making the cartoons of each other religious peoples in vulgar postures.

    At this point of phase world is persisting not to be bore and it is evidential since there has been such anxiety in the human’s psyche in history. But it is of course exhilarating when there are more foes and fights. Similar to Hitler, he was such a human being who used to feel affection for Jews in Nazi. However verily, Hitler upheld his principle and integrity this is utterly right that the principle of falling in love with Jews is not preserved in Europe at present now it looks as if they are prone to forget the old principles but yet integrity is preserved. On the obstinate this historical principle is preserved in shape of banning two Muslims’ news channels in Europe.

    In civilized world Human is allowed to say whatever aspiration is, it is the freedom of speech and the struggle of considerable generations. Now human is able to say whatever appears in the intelligence. The struggle of ages have allowed a son to identify her mother a ‘*****’, father a ‘butcher’, and to a religion a piece of …….. Now those who are having an utterance in opposition to it are undeniably ignorant immoral swine. These protestors have to be taught more and of course now they are in need of being tamed as per contemporary human moral manners.

  62. Backwater hick wrote:

    I have several comments. I am too lazy to figure out who said what for most of what I am responding to.
    1. “Cannot name a moderate muslim country” Very thoughtful response. I think I can name one moderate Muslim country. One moderate Muslim country — Malaysia.(They are not governed by Shi’ra, so most would not call them a Muslim country, but then extremeists say a Muslim country does not exist on the planet.) Protested peacefully and the head dude called for calm. They have terrorists, and they are dealing with them. The Muslim people of this multi-ethnic country were noble and dignified in their reaction. I am not from that part of the World so do let me know if Malaysia does not qualify.

    2. Also John, (if I seem to pick on you — it is because your response contained the most reason, so I actually read it.) There were problems in the part of the ME when Mohammed came to be. He was sort of a response to those problems. When the Prophet was alive, all was well. He was very progressive for the time he lived in. For example, some of his wives were veiled, but it was not a rule for all Muslims. Those things came later. It was a combination of evolution and infighting — The Shi’as, I think, trace their lineage back to Fatima daughter of Mohammed. (Ironic, when you think about it.) So basically it came down to who would lead Islam. Also there was some outside influences that crept into Islam. The Assyrians poluted the Persians (after Darius, I think) and that evolved into the extreme version practiced by roughly 1 percent of the 1.3 Muslims on the planet today.

    3. “Arabs stupid” — At the very least, Arabs gave us Algerbra, written law, and, some scholars say, geometry. Arabs had running water, libraries and government when my some of my ancestors were still going to battle painted blue and eating still beating human hearts wrenched from fresh conquests.

    4. I think we need to come up with a differnt term for those people who profess to be Muslim but who kill other Muslims, people of the book, and innocents and then rationalize that behavior later. These Muslim pretenders behead Iraqi truck drivers after subduing and tying up the un armed man and then call that act “heroic.” The pretenders have been whipped up into a frenzy with some help from the U.S. but mostly by some slick media manipulation that blames the U.S. for all their ills. Irony there is Hamas won its election with help from U.S. monies. Hospitals were built, senior citizen care centers were created with money from the U.S. government and charities. Still, the U.S. is the devil to them. However, hate us though they may, only a small minority of those who despise us strap bombs to their chest and blow up school children a la Beslin. I will call them Pretenders.

    5. “Denmark a desert?” Not likely. In fact the Danes have proven as recently as the second World War that they are at least unique problem solvers and skilled tacticians who can work and stick together. Also, the forebearers of the Danes were never taken by the Romans where as practically every other region in Europe, Asia Minor (to include parts of the middle east) were ruled by the Romans at some time. Then there is the whole Viking think. It would be foolish to underestimate these people.

    6. The Egyptians managed to quell most of Al Queda, I wish we could crack the code on that.

    7. “Can’t say no in Arabic” Generalizations are never wise. I am a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman from a small back water Southern town, and I can say no (and even some complete sentences!) in Modern Standard Arabic, Pashtun, German, French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and Korean.

    8. “Afraid of Islam?” Nope, I just get coldly angry at the pretenders. They should hope I don’t become a “fundamentalist” — See number 3.

    All catastrophic beliefs, Nazism, Communism, etc. are catastrophic only when they’re protected from freedom of speech.

    How many Jews died when Nazism is no longer protected from freedom of speech? Nowhere close to 6 millions.
