SOLIDARITY FOREVER

danish005.jpg

I swore I wasn’t going to publish any of the Mohammed cartoons on this website, mostly out of respect for the religion itself but also because I didn’t really see the need.

If one were to examine every word I’ve written about the Cartoon Jihad, they would find an uncompromising support for freedom of speech. I never criticized anyone’s right to publish them. And where I originally believed that as a matter of empathizing with people who experienced pain at the thought of the prophet being mocked, I have since been enlightened as the so-called moderates shamelessly began to use the controversy for their own ends by using publicity surrounding the violence as a way to draw attention to their own concerns.

But I still had no intention of publishing these cartoons. Until today.

There is a group of Muslim hackers who have declared war on websites that have dared show the offending cartoons. They have attacked more than 1800 Danish websites alone, defacing them with their barely literate scrawl.

And now…they’re coming after us.

One of the on-line leaders in the movement to show solidarity with the Danes and other newspapers around the world who have dared to show the cartoons has been Michelle Malkin. Last Tuesday Mrs. Malkin was subjected to a foreign based denial of service attack. And last night, her hosting company passed along some disturbing news:

Last night, my hosting service notified me that it is receiving ongoing threats from individuals vowing to take down this site—and others along with it—which will presumably continue until I take down the cartoons. For now, we are on guard and continuing with business as usual. But you should know there’s something much wider and deeper going on.

Go to Michelle’s site and read up on the effort of these cyber jihadists and ask yourself; Can I afford to sit on the sidelines any longer? There is a time and a place for everything. This is a time for outright defiance. It is a time for solidarity not just with Malkin but with every blogger, right or left, and every website that publishes these cartoons. This has gone way beyond any kind of cultural sensitivity issue or respect for the belief of others. It is now our beliefs that are under attack and we simply must defend them.

So I proudly join those who feature these cartoons on their websites. A little late to the party perhaps. But I promise not to be a wallflower.

    Rick:
    Thank you for your position with this entry. It is a confusing world we face today. While reading this entry and your previous entries, you see such disparity in the Muslim world.

    On one hand you see Lebanon struggling to free itself of the Syrian yoke, and you applaud their struggles. You want to stand up and cheer when young Hariri calls for unity “We meet here today in March 14 square, there are no Muslims and there are no Christians, there are only Lebanese screaming ‘Lebanon first.’ There is no place amongst us for criminals … there is no place among us for the symbols of the security apparatus.”

    And then you see this ridiculous contrived controversy over a series of cartoons. It is maddening. But it is symptomatic of the Muslim world. Two things are certain regarding this in my mind – We need to continue to stand up and cheer for the Hariris of the world and at the same time stand up against the Dhimmitude that would be imposed upon us by the Islamo-Fascists.

    Beautiful, Rick. MOST of us citizens are behind you all the way. Now, how about the MSM?

    Bravo Steve! Well said.

    You might be interested to know that at that rally, young Hariri as well as several religious leaders condemned the violence and the burning of the Danish embassy.

    But what about some news on Cheney’s attempted homicide and cover-up? sarcasm on. Gregory and Milbank are disgraces.

    I wonder how this would all be playing out on the blogosphere now if the UN and EU actually were able to take control of Internet from US?

    I applaud you for putting out the pictures. Does anyone else see the hypocrisy of NY Slimes now publishing more Abu Graib crap or recent repeat of the pi$$ christ and Mary in elephant dung while ignoring the Danish cartoons and even Gore spewing prevarications in Saudi Arabia. Hey MSM, how about telling us how much Algore was paid by the terrorist-enablers?

    Scimitars attack the internet

    Michelle Malkin reports that Islamic computer hackers have been trying to attack free speech on the internet, in revenge for publishing the Mohammed cartoons, and have even tried to target her own website as well.
