The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu today strongly condemned the publication of the book entitled “Tyranny of Silence” in Denmark. The book contains a compilation of denigrating caricatures and cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) published by the Jyllands Posten in 2005 which aroused worldwide condemnation and denunciation, and caused hurt and insult to the sentiments of Muslims around the world.
The OIC Secretary General expressed his dismay and disappointment at the release of the book despite the fact that he and some other leaders of the Muslim countries had personally addressed letters to the Foreign Minister of Denmark urging the intervention of the Danish government against the publication due to the highly provocative and inciting contents of the book. He reiterated his position when the Foreign Minister of Denmark called on him to discuss the issue at the sidelines of the 65th session of the UN General Assembly.
Emphasizing the moral responsibility of the political leadership of Denmark in this regard, the Secretary General said that the publication of the book was a deliberate attempt to incite prejudices and animosity which would undermine the ongoing efforts of the international community for promoting understanding and peaceful coexistence among peoples of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
He said that "Violence weakens us" (link above), a striking statement that leads to think he is not worried about people actually harmed by enraged Muslims, but rather about how the public opinion perceives those Muslims. There is no prejudice or animosity in publishing those cartoons, and there would never have been any problem with them, if they wouldn't have ended in violence. The alleged prejudices wouldn't have even existed if (an important part of) Muslims wouldn't have got enraged or have justified that because of the alleged "insults" to Mohammed.
But who is responsible for the violence? The cartoons? Or the violent people?

What if they object tomorrow against movies and next week to theatre performances and the next month to Music concerts and the list may go on endlessly cause intolerance never stops it just go's on.
Yep, that's right. We have been living with Mohammed cartoons for 5 years now and the controversy doesn't seem to have an end. Riots, violence, deaths, beaten and hurt people, damages to cars, buses and other property, etc.
And everything because some people just draw Mohammed. o_O It's so stupid and immature.
Stupid and immature to us, but not to them. They are more than willing to fight, torture, and die for the 'honor' of their 7th. century murderous, pedophile, profit.
We must realize that there is really no common ground nor basis for dialogue with these fiends.
They only talk from a position of weakness, when they attain a position of strength all talk ceases if you know what I mean.

No doubt, cjk, no doubt. But that is not going to prevent me from telling how immature and stupid I continue seeing it... ;)

Yes, absolutely. But we consider that a position of "strenght" is just having a majority. For them, it's just to have the sufficient number to threat and to riot if threats are not effective, so to stop any measure they don't agree with.
To the respectable, impeccably dressed, well-heeled, accomplished Professor Ihsanoglu, Secretary of the OIC:
KISS. MY. ASS. You filthy fly-covered camel-riding, woman-flogging, baby-raping, murdering, deceiving, whining, arrogant, tyrannical piece of goat shit. Because that is what you are under your veneer of civilization and sanity, Professor Ihsanoglu: a Dark Age tribal thug with a bloody scimitar stuck between your teeth like the filthy "prophet" you mindlessly try to emulate.
DO NOT DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHAT WE CAN READ OR WRITE OR WATCH OR THINK. THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU A CRIMINAL WHO BELONGS IN A CAGE BEHIND BARS.
Please can we pledge from now on to never give these thugs any sort of respect or acknowledgment of their empty, meaningless titles. What they want is our obedience and submission, by any means necessary. None of them rises above the status of a toothless "tribal elder" in some islam-ridden hellhole muttering fatwas while sitting cross-legged on a dirt floor.
Rule #1: Don't Effing Cooperate.
Correlation to Rule #1: Do not show "Respect" where no respect is due.
We seem to be in complete agreement Claudia.
I have the same respect for that a-hole that you do RRA, nothing but despite/contempt for all of them.
