Surly's Soap Box

There is so much info out there on the Mohammad cartoon thing. Some of it really makes me angry because it really shows what we are dealing with here: Religious fanatics intent on destroying the free world. There is no other way to look at it.
This is not about misunderstanding or insensitivity.
This is not about poverty.
There are people at work whose intent is to, once again, destroy the free world. Like this guy (from Gateway Pundit):

Imam Ahmad Abu Laban, the man behind this whole Danish cartoon controversy, not only faked obscene cartoons on his trip to the Middle East, but also:

* Entertained the "Blind Sheikh" behind the first World Trade Center attacks
* Praised Osma Bin Laden after 9-11 Attacks
* Preached he "Shed no tears" after 9-11 Attacks
* Accused of giving Political support to Osama bin Laden's network
* Accused of giving Financial support to Osama bin Laden's network
* Joined with 225 Islamic Radicals to form Global Jihadist Group in 2003
* Said that Theo van Gogh - "Had it coming!"
* Called on his flock to Give Their Lives to Global Jihad for Palestinians
* Met with Sheikh Qaradawi in Saudi Arabia who has legalized the murder of American soldiers in Iraq

Imam Ahmad Abu Laban, the leader of the Islamic Society of Denmark toured the Middle-East to "create awareness" about the 12 cartoons that were published in Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, on September 30, 2005...

See, the original dozen cartoons that were published weren't quite provocative enough, so he came up with three others that were, well, disgusting. I won't print them here because it's not necessary. You can find them on other sites if you are committed to seeing them.

There is only one reason to do something like that: To cause trouble. This man is listened to in the muslim world. And they need to deal with him. Infact, if he did come up with these pictures on his own, he should meet the end he has prescribed for others.

Err...I mean hate. Once again, in an effort to keep blacks from thinking for themselves, to keep them on the plantation, a 'leader' has tried to strike fear and generate hatred because they lack any real vision or answers.

Civil rights activist and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond delivered a blistering partisan speech at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina last night, equating the Republican Party with the Nazi Party and characterizing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor, Colin Powell, as "tokens."

Ah yes, taking his lead from Harry Belafonte, tearing down people who have climbed up in the world through means other than as entertainers and lawyers. Remember: Hard work is not a virtue! Fame and Fortune can only be won through dancing, singing and acting, or through being a lawyer.

But there was a ray of hope:

The talk so infuriated at least one black family in attendance among the 900 in the auditorium that they got up and walked out in protest.

"He went on and on name calling," said Lee Wilson. "I walked out in the middle of his speech with my wife and three kids"

Maybe someday an entire crowd of blacks will stand up and turn their backs on scum like this. Then maybe people will quit booking them.
