Because Islam is such a friend of press freedom, right?
Shaukat Khawja is complaining that the Jooooooooos only allow freedom of the press for themselves:link-icon:. It’s a perennial theme for the perpetually aggrieved blogger who calls himself ‘Rehmat’; the Joooooos are at fault for everything, and are responsible for everybody else’s shortcomings.
Oh, and the Joooooos are also out to denigrate everyone else’s Religion.
And look at this allegation: the Israeli Mossad was actually responsible for the Muhammed cartoons published in Denmark.
Shaukat is also up in arms over the insults directed at Jesus in the recent movie the Da Vinci Code, produced by (the Jew!) Brian Grazer. And while I appreciate Shaukat’s defence of Christ, I might point out that the Koran — which I can only assume Rehmat holds in high regard — does little better than the poor prose of Dan Brown when it comes to giving due glory to Jesus.
After all, the Koran denies Jesus’ divinity and asserts that He did not die upon the Cross. That’s about as insulting to Christian beliefs as anything portrayed in some crappy movie starring Tom Hanks‘ bad haircut.
