Yemeni Publisher Sentenced For Muhammad Cartoons

MOHAMMEDCHICS2.jpg

News.com.au:A YEMENI court has sentenced a journalist to a year in jail for reprinting Danish satirical caricatures of Islam's Prophet Mohammed which provoked outrage among Muslims around the world earlier this year. The court convicted Kamal al-Aalafi, editor-in-chief of the al-Rai al-Aam, of offending Prophet Mohammed and also ordered the independent weekly to close for six months, his lawyer Khaled al-Ansi said.

The cartoons, one of which depicted the Prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban, first appeared in a Danish daily in September 2005, sparking protests early in 2006 in which more than 50 people were killed in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

The editors of two other Yemeni publications, the Yemen Observer and al-Hurriya, are facing similar charges though President Ali Abdallah Saleh has promised to scrap jail terms for journalists convicted of violations in publishing.

Aalafi says that he reprinted the cartoons, seen by many Muslims as blasphemous, to raise awareness among Yemenis about what had appeared in the Danish press, not to insult Muslims.

Heh, I wonder what a deliberate inslult would get you? Like maybe this one or these deliberate insults here. Or how about pointing out the top ten problems with Sharia? Or maybe even that Islam is a fascist ideology that is spread by violence and oppression?

Fatwa?

Yeah, Yeah, we know, "Death to America!" Stick a sock in it bub.

Hat Tip: Big White Infidel.

2 Time for someone to come out with the Urinal scent blocks with the child molesting Prophet Mohammed's picture on them so we can Pi** him away instead of off. How about the rubber screens for urinal's, that way everyone will pi** on him several times per day.

3 Trying to run a modern country based on sharia law would be like trying to run a modern country based on the old testament.

4 You break the law, you pay the price.

Aren't you glad you live in a country where you still have some freedom of speech?

Well JC, it certainly wasn't due to lack of effort on their part.

See, PD, we're supposed to be GLAD America under Bush and Cheney isnt' like Cambodia under Pol Pot or the Soviet Union under Stalin. Of course that's like being GLAD someone poked out only one of your eyes instead of blinding you, but let's not bring that up.

7 Yeah..you notice all those leftist hyperventilating chicken littles
have faded into the woodwork. You know the ones who spent the last 5
years screaming that democracy is dead and we are now living in a
totalitarian fascist theocracy.

8 John Lyin:


America bases many of its laws and traditions on the Old Testament. If you don't like it, head to Iran, or the worker's paradise in North Korea.


Christianity and Christians do not claim their religion is meant to impose all laws and dictate every aspect of your life. Only islam and Marxists do that. No wonder you worship them.


Try to exhale, retard.

As of Nov 8th, we "chicken littles" have realized that we will be able to begin to restore democracy and the rule of law, at the highest levels, to America.

The dark cloud is lifting and the sun is beginning to shine thru, again.

The restoration will begin in January.

To celebrate, we will be having roasted lame duck.

When we, finally, hear President Moron's secret "plan", I'm sure that all Americans will be on board.

Oh, I forgot, President Moron's secret "plan" is now on hold, while his daddy's buddies try to figure out how to make chicken soup out of chicken shit.

16 Piddle Dork admires the Yemeni authorities for screwing that editor, and would love to see the same thing happen to any American who questions the left's failed social engineering project. He's salivating over thre witch hunts the Dhimmiecrats are planning to carry out after January 1st.


I guess all that chicke- shit soup he's been eating rotted away his last few brain cells.
