Monkeys On Endangered Species List?

You can't really call it a clash of civilizations since we are talking about monkeys here, but the infidels at Infinite Monkeys have certainly kicked up a Shiite storm with their recent series of posts daring to depict the Prophet Mohammed:

-All Your Image Are Belong To Us

-The Left Hook is For Infidels Only

-Moo-Hammad: Udderly Ridiculous (my fav)

-Mo-HAM-med: The Porcine Prophet

-Moo-Hammed?

Reading some of the comments at the posts (assuming they are real), you have to wonder how "infinite" this group of simians will turn out to be.

The Monkey's shrieking of course was precipitated by the real story of Jihad Against Danish Newspaper:

Islam is no laughing matter. The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten is being protected by security guards and several cartoonists have gone into hiding after the newspaper published a series of twelve cartoons (see them all here, halfway the article) about the prophet Muhammad. According to the Islam it is blasphemous to make images of the prophet. Muslim fundamentalists have threatened to bomb the paper's offices and kill the cartoonists.

The newspaper published the cartoons when a Danish author complained that he could find no-one to illustrate his book about Muhammad. Jyllands-Posten wondered whether there were more cases of self-censorship regarding Islam in Denmark and asked twelve illustrators to draw the prophet for them. Carsten Juste, the paper's editor, said the cartoons were a test of whether the threat of Islamic terrorism had limited the freedom of expression in Denmark.


Intolerant Muslims? Who would have thunk it?
