I watched a CNN program that talked about this carving of Mohammed on the US supreme court building. Haven't seen it in person. The negationists will say that it is a carving of some random Mohammedan, not their prophet himself.
[color="#800080"](No they can't. It is admitted to be Mohammed, Allah's own Puppet. I mean the Prop Of islam - sorry that can't be because the prop of islam is allah. So I mean the prophet of islam. Did I get that right in the end? No no, I was right the first time: Mohammed, whose puppet is allah. That's better.)[/color]
But, that is considered haraam too, because on the "Day of Judgement" or Qayamat, Allah will command the sculptor to give life to the idol he created, failing which the sculptor is punished with Koranic torture!

(Peers into distance) Islamic storm's a-coming to wipe away Amrikkkan landmark building.
I wonder, is it time to snicker to myself like Beavis and Butthead already, or do I postpone it until the inevitable islamic jihad takes place (it might take some decades, so I will laugh now too in anticipation. I can see it before me: <sound of stone being TNT-ed as mohammed idol deservedly explodes into a thousand unflattering pieces> "By allaaaaaah! Where are the infidels that did this..." :islamaniac glares around blood-thirstily 
Then there will be Amrikkkan Negationism studies and a lot of amrikkkan patriots whining about what islam did to their history, which the rest of us will be forced to happily deny in order to even the score/redress the balance of their christolying.
Oh so much to look forward to.
(I wouldn't be quite so insensitive if christo-Amrikkka hadn't been quite such a pox-faced liar about the christoislamaniac record in Dharmic Bharatam. And if christo-Amrikkkans hadn't genocided the Native Americans and continue to short-change them every time.)

First the warning. Lego depicting adult content... All you underage persons, ask your heathen parents to check and approve first. Secularly sensitive people who get offended by the repulsive Mohammed factually copulating with his wives (such as baby Ayesha) but thought that MFH's profane fictions of allegedly Hindu Gods makes him an 'artist' - don't look. This may hurt your one-sided belief in "Freedom of Speech/Expression".
People who don't like graphic stuff, even if it gives islam what it deserves... Fair enough. Don't watch. (Though it's really only lego, how graphic can it really be.) Transcript of the funny text on the box is further down.
For the rest:

It's hysterical. Priceless.
And note the appropriately evil face on The Puppet Of Peace. But apparently he's not depicted hideously enough though, as Ali Sina himself explains (Sina used to be a muslim and probably has memorised the koran and hadiths by now, so he's in the know):

Quote:Have you ever thought why Muhammad disallowed his followers to depict him? In his later years, Muhammad suffered from the degenerative disease of achromegaly. Thanks to this disease his bones and cartilages grew disproportionately. His facial features were deformed. He looked like a monster. But Muhammad was also a narcissist and he was very concerned about his image. Consequently, he forbade his followers to depict him. He did not want the posterity to see how ugly he looked. If you want to really know how Muhammad looked, please read my book, Understanding Muhammad: A Psychobiography of Allahââ¬â¢s Prophet. I have unearthed his description, narrated by his nearest and dearest.
So, Islam's "Seal of the Prophets" looked on the outside as he was on the inside? How appropriate.
And now you all know how to depict the Puppet.

Quote:MANGALORE: Two newspaper houses in Mangalore have been attacked by un-identified groups of people at about 9.15 pm on Tuesday. They ransacked the offices of Jaya Kirana and Kannada Prabha and destroyed computers, electronic goods and furniture. At Kannada Prabha office they even tried to set the office on fire by lobbing a kerosene bomb.
This entire agiatation is supposed to be led by a kangressi muslim. The initial muslim riot started in Yeddyurappa's home district.

[size="6"]Pak should use US weapons only to fight al-Qaida: India to US[/size]
NEW DELHI: Voicing concern over America's reported decision to supply sophisticated weapons to Pakistan, Defence minister A K Antony on Thursday said the US should ensure that the "latest tranche of military aid" is used in fighting al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists and not against India.
" Given our bitter past experience of how Islamabad used such aid against India, Washington should ensure that the latest tranche of military aid is used only for the purpose of countering al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists and not against India," he said in a statement here.
According to reports, the United States has cleared the sale of a whole array of sophisticated weapons such as Laser Guided Bomb kits, surveillance drones and latest-model F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan to boost its forces capability to strike in remote tribal areas to take on Taliban and al-Qaida militants.
With this new arms aid, US counter-insurgency assistance fund for Pakistan is slated to increase to $1.2 billion in fiscal year 2011 from $700 million in the current fiscal.
Pakistan's military inventory comprises a significant chunk of US weapon systems and platforms including C-130 transport aircraft, F-16 fighter jets and Cobra gunship helicopters.
Pakistan has been operating the F-16 fighters since mid-80s and recently, the US had agreed to upgrade them to the Block-50/52 level.

[size="6"]German Judge Scolds Bomb Plotters over their 'Strange Notion of Jihad'[/size]
![[Image: 201034102457639371_5.jpg]](http://english.aljazeera.net/mritems/Images//2010/3/4/201034102457639371_5.jpg)
Four men who confessed to planning bomb attacks on US targets in Germany have been convicted by a court in Duesseldorf of conspiracy to murder and of belonging to a foreign terrorist group.
The men were sentenced on Thursday to between five and 12 years in jail for the plot which they were planning when they were arrested in September 2007.
The three Germans and one Turk were to use three car bombs, each with 250kg of explosives, in the attacks.
The bomb explosions were to coincide with a vote in parliament on whether Germany should extend its military presence in Afghanistan in an attempt to influence public opinion against the country's mission there.
'Monstrous bloodbath'
The men were known as the "Sauerland group" after the area of western Germany where they were caught.
Police had been watching their rented holiday cottage for several months before swooping in to make the arrests.
Judge Ottmar Breidling, speaking at the conclusion of the 10-month trial, said the men aimed to kill at least 150 US soldiers stationed in Germany.
"You were planning a monstrous bloodbath that would have killed an unfathomable number of people," Breidling said.
"Never before had there been a terror attack of that dimension in Germany.
"You were blinded by a strange, hate-filled notion of jihad and you turned yourselves into angels of death in the name of Islam."
Breidling sentenced Fritz Gelowicz, the group's ringleader, to 12 years in jail.
He also handed Daniel Schneider a 12-year sentence because he fired at a police officer during an escape attempt.
Both men were converts to Islam.
The court also sentenced Adem Yilmaz, a Turkish citizen, to 11 years and Atilla Selek, a German citizen of Turkish origin, to five years.
'Extraordinary' insight
The four men, who were members of the radical Islamic Jihad Union, had identified discos and airports, as well as the US Ramstein air base, as possible targets.
Prosecutors had sought terms of between five and a half to 13 years.
Breidling said their confessions and their co-operation with prosecutors had reduced their prison sentences.
"The confessions have provided an extraordinary glimpse into the structures of Islamic terrorism," the judge said.
The CIA helped to foil the plot after months of close co-operation with German authorities, German media reported.
About 600 German investigators had started monitoring the group in early 2007, before arresting them on September 4 that year.

[size="6"]Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders makes strong showing in local polls[/size]
Mr Wilders's far-Right Party for Freedom (PVV) made a strong showing in local polls held Wednesday, while the traditionally strong Christian Democratic (CDA) and Labour (PvdA) parties lost support, early results showed. The PVV came first and second in the only two of 394 municipalities it contested.
It was the strongest party with 21.6 per cent of the vote in Almere, a city of 187,000 people near the capital Amsterdam previously won by the PvdA, and came second in the seat of government, The Hague - the Netherlands' third largest city with 442,000 residents.
"What is possible in The Hague and Almere is possible all over the country," said [size="3"]Mr Wilders, who is awaiting a hate speech trial for calling Islam a fascist religion and likening the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf[/size].
Mr Wilders was arrested and deported from Heathrow in February 2009 after the Home Office banned him on the grounds "that his presence in the UK could foster hatred and threaten community harmony in light of his anti-Muslim rhetoric".
This was the first municipal election for the PVV, with its mission of "fighting the Islamisation of the Netherlands".
The Netherlands' two biggest parties, the Christian Democratic Appeal and Labour Party, lost about two and six percentage points respectively with 93 per cent of the vote counted by Thursday morning, two weeks after their governing coalition collapsed at a national level.
The CDA of Jan Peter Balkenende, the outgoing prime minister, had dropped about two percentage points from 16.83 per cent in 2006.
The CDA and PvdA had been in government nationally until January 20, when Wouter Bos, then finance minister and vice premier, withdrew his Labour party from the coalition in a spat over extending the Netherlands' military presence in Afghanistan.

[size="6"]Iranian Spiritual Leader: Nukes are a Religious Obligation[/size]
(IsraelNN.com) Ayatollah Masbah Yazdi, the spiritual teacher of Iranââ¬â¢s dictator Mahmoud Ahmedinajad, says that the acquisition of nuclear weapons is a religious obligation. So reports the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), headquartered in Ramat HaSharon.
Yazdi, considered one of the leading religious thinkers in Iran, authored a book in which he wrote that attaining the ability to independently produce ââ¬Åspecial combat means of a specific typeââ¬Â is not only a military obligation for Iran, but also a religious one.
Yazdi wrote that the countryââ¬â¢s leaders need not fear the financial costs of producing atomic weapons, as these would be more than compensated for by the ââ¬ÅDivine and Messianic aidââ¬Â that would result.

[size="6"]Saudi Woman Gets 300 Lashes, Jail for Complaints[/size]
A Saudi woman who filed harassment claims in Saudi Arabia without being accompanied by a male relative has been sentenced to 300 lashes and 18 months in jail, Human Rights Watch said.
Sawsan Salim lodged a series of complaints in 2007 at government offices and in court in the northern region of Qasim in which she alleged harassment by local officials, the New York-based rights group said. She was sentenced in January on charges of making ââ¬Åspurious complaintsââ¬Â against government officials and appearing ââ¬Åwithout a male guardian,ââ¬Â the group said in an e-mailed statement received today.
ââ¬Å In Saudi Arabia, being a woman going about her legitimate business without a manââ¬â¢s protection is apparently a crime,ââ¬Â Nadya Khalife, womenââ¬â¢s rights researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in the statement. ââ¬ÅThe government needs to free Sawsan Salim and keep its promise to end this discriminatory system.ââ¬Â
Saudi Arabia, which maintains a code of Islamic morals, said in June at a meeting of the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council that it would end the male-guardianship rule, said Human Rights Watch.
The system requires women to get permission from a male relative to go to classes, work, to travel, open a bank account or receive non-emergency medical care. It also requires a woman to be accompanied by a male guardian to conduct public business, HRW said.
Wahhabism, a Sunni Muslim movement, is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia, the only country in the world that doesnââ¬â¢t allow women to drive on public roads.

Trust Ahmad Dhani when it comes to making controversial public statements. The Indonesian music genius, who is the force behind super rock band Dewa 19, has publicly supported polygamy in a heated debate with a Muslim women's movement leader in Jakarta.
"Polygamy in Islam doesn't degrade women," the spiritually inclined Dhani told Detik Hot. "Any Muslim woman who objects to it is insulting Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Prophet Muhammad, who was a polygamist, was fair to all his wives."
Maria Ulfah, the outspoken leader of PP Fatayat NU said: "Do not equate ourselves with the prophet, Mr Ahmad Dhani.
"He was willing to marry an 80-year-old widow. But our men today mostly want to marry more than one wife because of sex."

[size="6"]UK Muslim Leader: Islam NOT a Religion of Peace[/size]
CBN News traveled to London to talk with Anjem Choudary, a leading Muslim radical who says Islamic teachings are what shaped his pro-jihad message.
Although both George W. Bush and Barack Obama have declared that Islam is a religion of peace, Choudary begs to differ.
A Religion of Peace?
[size="5"]"You can't say that Islam is a religion of peace," Choudary told CBN News. "Because Islam does not mean peace. Islam means submission. So the Muslim is one who submits. There is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam."[/size]
[size="4"]Choudary is the leader of Islam4UK, a group recently banned in Britain under the country's counter-terrorism laws. He wants Islamic Sharia law to rule the United Kingdom and is working to make that dream a reality.[/size]
He has praised the 9/11 hijackers and has called for the execution of Pope Benedict. He also stirred controversy recently when video emerged of him converting a 10-year-old British boy to Islam.
Yet he openly praises violent jihad.
[size="4"]"The Koran is full of, you know, jihad is the most talked about duty in the Koran other than tawhid -- belief," he said. "Nothing else is mentioned more than the topic of fighting."[/size]
[size="3"]Several former members of Choudary's group have been arrested on terrorism charges.[/size]
"A very significant amount of former al-Muhajiroun people were involved in terrorist plots against this country," London-based terrorism expert Peter Neumann said.
CBN News asked Choudary for his thoughts on the 7/7 bombings on London's transport system, and whether he condemned them.
"For the people who carried it out, it was legitimate," he replied. "If you look at the will of the 7/7 bombers Mohammed Siddique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, they would be justified. And there are many verses from the Koran and many statements to say that's the Islamic argument. And that is a difficult Islamic argument to refute. And there are many scholars who support that argument as well."
Choudary says his group is merely following core Islamic teachings and that Islam is much more than a religion.
"This particular belief is more than just a religion," he declared. "It is not just a spiritual belief. It is, in fact, an ideology which you believe in and you struggle for and you are willing even to die for, because you believe in that: That is your whole life."

[size="6"]Dutch politician Geert Wilders in UK to show Islam film[/size]
Controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders has arrived in the UK to show his anti-Islam film after overturning a ban on entering the country.
Mr Wilders, who has been accused of Islamaphobia, leads the Freedom Party.
He will show his film Fitna to MPs and peers as a guest of Baroness Cox and UK Independence Party leader Lord Pearson.
Mr Wilders attempted to enter the UK last February, but was ordered to fly back to the Netherlands hours later. The ban was overturned in October.
The Freedom Party recently made major gains in local elections in the Netherlands, becoming the biggest party in the medium-sized city of Almere and the second largest in The Hague, which is the country's political capital.
The Dutch MP has called the Koran a "fascist book".
His film caused outrage across the Muslim world when it was posted on the internet in 2008.
Controversial film
Fitna's opening scenes show a copy of the Koran followed by footage of the 9/11 attacks in the US and the bombings in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005.
Mr Wilders has had 24-hour protection for the past five years after receiving death threats for his views.
There was no sign of any protests when Mr Wilders arrived at London's Heathrow airport on Friday morning.
However, demonstrators are expected at Westminster later.
The Dutch politician had been due to show his film at the House of Lords last year when the then home secretary Jacqui Smith said his presence had the potential to "threaten community harmony and therefore public safety", prompting the ban on him entering the country.
Explaining his controversial views last October, Mr Wilders said: "I have a problem with the Islamic ideology, the Islamic culture, because I feel that the more Islam that we get in our societies, the less freedom that we get."
Lord Pearson, who invited Mr Wilders, has condemned radical Islam as a "world domination movement".
In a pre-election interview last month, Lord Pearson described the Dutch politician as a "friend" and denied accusations that his own party was "radical" after it called for face coverings - such as the veil worn by some Muslim women - to be banned.
He asked: "Is it radical to wish to protect British society and our Judeo-Christian culture from the growing influence of radical Islam?"
Lord Pearson, who has insisted that his party is "absolutely non-racist" and made clear he was not referring to moderate Muslims, argued that the political establishment is "asleep" to the expansionist aims of radical Islam.

[size="6"]Judge who upheld death sentence of Aftab Ansari threatened[/size]
KOLKATA: Justice Kalidas Mukherjee, one of the two Calcutta High Court judges who upheld the death sentence of don Aftab Ansari in the 2002 Amercian Center case, has received a threat letter following which his security has been enhanced, police said.
The judge filed a complaint yesterday on threats held out to him for upholding Ansari's death sentence on February five, deputy commissioner of Kolkata Police, detective department, Damayanti Sen said.
"We are verifying the contents of the letter addressed to the judge and the sender's identity and motive," she said.
Sen said that adequate security was provided to the judge.
According to police sources, the typed letter warned that the judge "had not done the right thing" by upholding the death sentence.
This was the first instance of a high court judge receiving a threat letter, they said. The High Court on February five upheld the death sentences of Ansari and another accused Jamiluddin Nasir awarded by a trial court.

[size="6"]'Support for Husain giving up Indian citizenship unfortunate'[/size]
NEW DELHI: Calling the support for M F Husain on the issue of his giving up Indian citizenship as "unfortunate", spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravishankar said one cannot accept blatant insult to the heroes of its land.
"It's unfortunate that there is much hue and cry about M F Lucian giving up Indian citizenship. While India has a policy of free expression, one cannot accept blatant insult to heroes of its land," he said in a statement here.
Ravishankar said it was the intention behind one's creativity which is questionable.
"Will M F Husian show the same creativity and the same spirit with Islamic heroes and would he, then, be able to retain his Qatari citizenship?" he asked.
He also said one fails to understand why there should be different criteria for Slaman Rushdie and Taslima Nasreen on the one hand and Husain on the other.
