Religion of peace, my fucking ass.
Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki puts ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed’ cartoonist Molly Norris on execution hitlist
A CHARISMATIC terror leader linked to the botched Times Square car bomb has placed the Seattle cartoonist who launched “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” on an execution hit list.
Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki – the radical who has also been cited as inspiring the Fort Hood, Tex., massacre and the plot by two New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers – singled out artist Molly Norris as a “prime target,” saying her “proper abode is hellfire.”
FBI officials have notified Norris and warned her they consider it a “very serious threat.”
In an English-language Al Qaeda magazine that calls itself “Inspire,” Awlaki damns Norris and eight others for “blasphemous caricatures” of the Prophet Muhammed. The other cartoonists, authors and journalists in Awlaki’s cross hairs are Swedish, Dutch and British citizens.
The 67-page terror rag is seen by terrorism experts as a bald new attempt to reach and recruit Muslim youth in the West.
“The medicine prescribed by the Messenger of Allah is the execution of those involved,” writes Awlaki, 39, a Las Cruces, N.M.-born American citizen.
“A soul that is so debased, as to enjoy the ridicule of the Messenger of Allah, the mercy to mankind; a soul that is so ungrateful towards its lord that it defames the Prophet of the religion Allah has chosen for his creation does not deserve life, does not deserve to breathe the air.”
Awlaki’s rant first appeared late last month in “Inspire,” which was posted to the Internet by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemeni branch linked to a Christmas Day bombing attempt on a U.S.-bound jet.
Initially, only three Web pages were accessible, leading to speculation it might be fake. But yesterday, the full edition was posted on jihadist Web forums, according to SITE Intelligence Group.
David Gomez, the FBI’s assistant special agent in charge of counterterrorism in Seattle, said Norris and others were warned of the “very serious threat.”
“We understand the absolute seriousness of a threat from an Al Qaeda-inspired magazine and are attempting to do everything in our power to assist the individuals on that list to effectively protect themselves and change their behavior to make themselves less of a target,” Gomez said.
Norris initially grabbed headlines in April when she published a satirical cartoon on her Web site that declared May 20 “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” as a way to mock Viacom and Comedy Central’s decision to censor an episode of “South Park” that showed the Prophet Muhammed dressed in a bear suit.
Soon after, the topic erupted on the Web with the start of a Facebook support group for Norris. In response, Pakistan blocked access to the social networking site as a fiery pro-and-con debate raged worldwide.
Norris eventually backed away from her cartoon and cause.
“I regret that I made my cartoon the way I made it,” she told the Seattle-based KING 5 TV.
Norris’ neighbor said yesterday he’s noticed an increased police presence on the street lined with modest Craftsman-style homes. No one answered the door at her home, where a blue baby swing hung from a tree outside.
Most of the “Inspire” entries are regurgitations of widely available jihadi propaganda, including translated speeches from Osama Bin Laden and tutorials on how to “Make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom.” Still, experts say the goal is clear: to reach a young, impressionable audience.
“It’s like Al Qaeda’s Tiger Beat,” said one senior U.S. counterterrorism official.

Do these people not realise that taking actions such as this, encourage people to criticise Islam more? Simply doing so anonymously in future.
Monday July 12th, 2010 @ 6:35pm
Fuck Islam.
Fuck Sharia Law.
Fuck Allah.
Fuck Mohammed.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 7:03am
what the hell are u talking about.
don’t you see what they made.
they make prophet’s cartoons and then you are scolding them.
do you know how the people who scolded mohammed (a.s) died.
if u dont regret what u said a curse will be upon you. and that curse will efect u.
and then u will be from the regretters (but very late)
maybe curse of God, of all angels and the curse of all muslims will be upon you. then no one, except God, will be able to protect you.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 7:12am
you’re funny labinot. A man beyond reason. Your beliefs are a joke.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 7:25am
then yor beliefs make your life scary and always being scared from death. you dont even want to go to bed and sleep alone, thinking of death.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 7:57am
Atheists aren’t afraid of death, we understand that it’s simply an end.
Once you die, that’s it.
Why would we be scared of no longer giving two shits about anything?
Now you’re making irrational inferences based on almost as little evidence as your religion has.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 8:28am
Who gave you this false notion that atheists are afraid of death?
Life under the banner of your religion has potential to be far more frightening.
Atheists view: You live –> you die. What you do in between matters.
Religious view: you live to serve –> you die hoping to be accepted into heaven. At this point only your soul matters. Fuck the family. Fuck your friends and loved ones. You can’t save their souls, only your own.
What a selfish outlook. Made worse by the backward cunts that go out in a bang, indiscriminately taking innocents with them, and somehow thinking this guarantees them a shortcut to heaven where they can fuck a harem of virgins.
The funny thing is, all these repressed suicide bombers are dying AS virgins because their religion denies them indulging their basic human emotions.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:03pm
GOD DAMN THIS ISLAMIC CARTOONS MAKERS.
WHAT THE HELL DID PROPHET MUHAMMED MADE YOU, THAT FOR EVERY “MUSLIM”S BAD BEHAIVOUR YOU ARE SCOLDING HIM.
WHY U ARE NOT SCOLDING OR BLAMING THAT PERSON WHO MADE IT, BUT DIRECTLY MOHAMMED(A.S.)
GOD’S CURSE BE UPON THESE WEBSITE’S MAKERS
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:18pm
This is my website.
Got a problem with that?
PS. Your curse means nothing to me.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:19pm
then why are u people scoldind Mohammed (a.s) but not the people who make terrorism.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 5:02pm
Please, read my first comment on this article, and you’ll understand that your fucked up religion is the problem, not the people targeted by it.
You people fucking disgust me. No, not muslims, people who identify the victim as the one to blame.
Use your head for once in your short and pathetic existence and try to understand what really is happening.
You moron, you fool, you filthy example of a human being.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 3:34pm
Well first off you need to understand that to non muslims, Mohammed was simply a pedophile with a large following. We don’t view him as a prophet so he isn’t exempt for criticism or ridicule any more than my self or you are. The cartoons ARE directed at the extremists. They have made it clear that if we critise Islam then we should be held to account by Islam law even though we are not Islam. The cartoons are a collective NO, we will not be bullied into submission and if you threaten us we will simply do it more.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 3:51pm
The all-capitals remind me that I don’t need to take your comments seriously. Go to your praying carpet.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 5:03pm
You moron, you fool, you filthy example of a human being.
Wednesday July 14th, 2010 @ 7:06am
It always boils down to this. Those who follow these infantile faiths, do so to achieve a sense of personal power.
If mohammed or allah were real deities, there would be no point in any human calling up some silly incantation – the deities would protect their own honor, on a daily basis. (That this does not happen, tells those of us who can think within the construct of logic, that these deities are pure fiction.)
Instead, we have a stupid little superstitious troll, calling upon the names of his invisible and impotent delusions for vengeance. Not for the sake of the deity, but to act as a divine proxy for his own foolish pride. It is the pious version of “I’m going to tell my mom on you!”
How utterly pathetic.

“We understand the absolute seriousness of a threat from an Al Qaeda-inspired magazine and are attempting to do everything in our power to assist the individuals on that list to effectively protect themselves and change their behavior to make themselves less of a target,” Gomez said.
Excuse me but what the fucking shit?
Those targeted by abuse are NOT TO FUCKING BLAME!
The abuser is to blame, change the fucking attitude and behaviour of the crazy fucking mulims!
What the fucking shit?!
This is a serious problem of identification, why the hell does this goddamn society always identify the target as the one to blame? What the fuck?!
If I do something that some asshole doesn’t like, and so he decides to kill me for it, it’s NOT MY FUCKING FAULT THAT HE KILLED ME! IT’S HIS GODDAMN FAULT! I pulled no fucking trigger!!
This is a perfect fucking example of this disease of a fucking culture and those who agree with this shit are just flat-out fucked in the head.
By telling the target that THEY have to change, you’re telling the fucking islamic dumbfucks that what they’re doing is acceptable and that it is right. Is this what we fucking want? To tell the insane and violent assfucks of the world that THEY’RE the ones who are right?
Seriously, this is just about the most disgusting thing I’ve ever read, and I’m sad to say I’m sure it will be topped within the year.
Fuck.
Monday July 12th, 2010 @ 9:53pm
Andre, you hit the nail right on the head. This is so ass-backwards it makes my head spin.
Monday July 12th, 2010 @ 10:10pm
Andre, I agree with you in principal completely, but I just thought that I’d point out that it is possible that that sentence is only referring to personal protective measures. Antiterrorism training is standard in the military and refers to adjusting your daily behaviors in order to keep a low profile and reduce your chance of being a target. They might only be advising her to do things like vary her route to work and keep alert for surveilliance, not necessarily restrict her expression of free speech. But if they are advising her to censor herself, well fuck’em. Oh yeah, and FUCK ISLAM.
Monday July 12th, 2010 @ 10:18pm
Based on events past, I’d say it’s unlikely they just want her to remain hidden, and that they are more than likely being sympathetic to islam out of fear and advising that she silence herself.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 1:35pm
Atheists gave it
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 1:55pm
Not really. You just pulled that three-worded sentence out of your ass, because you’re an asinine and contemptible foolish fool. Now, let me fix your ass up: a person who is afraid of death is a necrophobic, and it doesn’t really matter if you’re an Atheist or not…
Usually, it’s the people that worry about not succeeding to heaven and instead burning in hell that become necrophobic. But, most Atheists don’t worry about heaven nor hell, because no religion has shown any proof of accuracy with logic and science! So, why worry about these insane myths? Only weak-minded people worry about it.
Enjoy your life, build your ‘heaven’ for innocent people in need (if you can), and stand up to the forces of ‘hell’ (the wars in the Middle East and the hypocrisy here in America).
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:17pm
Nope. I don’t fear death. I don’t welcome it, but I certainly don’t fear it since I know that I will die one day.
If anything, I think YOU fear death, which is why you believe in Allah. You fear death, and so you want to think that you will live on forever even after this life. There is no logical reason to believe you will, but here you are, telling me that you know with certainty that Allah exists and that you will live forever with him……
I’m not the crazy one, you are.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:15pm
there is one saying:
small crimes to small judgment
big crimes to big judgement
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:48pm
Explain the relevance of this bullshit.
What the hell does this have to do with death or the fear of death?
Better yet, give up.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:23pm
maybe nothing. i said it.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 6:17pm
Unlike the Religious, the only constant amongst Atheists is the lack of belief in God(s). So what you are saying is complete rubbish..
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:30pm
i liked you here. God blesses You. You wrote Allah with cappital A.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 2:53pm
Don’t think too much of it, I was merely following the standards of English grammar.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 3:03pm
then,,,, good for you.
i am not good ata English, i am a foreign learner. my mother tounge is albanian
Wednesday July 14th, 2010 @ 10:38pm
Have you considered using an Arabic-to-English translator at the very least?
Friday July 16th, 2010 @ 12:55pm
Or an Albanian-English translator? Sorry Greenworld, different languages.
Tuesday July 13th, 2010 @ 3:37pm
allah.
muslim.
islam.
mohammed.
OK. There, all in lowercase to show how much I despise your religion.
Wednesday July 14th, 2010 @ 4:12am
allah.
muslim.
islam.
mohammed.
How easy it is to piss off the religious. Brilliant (sort-of) :)
Just thought I’d join in and show my support.
Faith, superstition and fear are all pathetic grounds for morality – get out of the 7th Century for fuck’s sake, labinot!
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:32pm
at least not below animals
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:45pm
Nor above them, we are animals.
Get this through your head, you feeble-minded mammal.
Friday July 16th, 2010 @ 1:29pm
Labinot, you really need to do some serious study, mate. You seem to be utterly clueless about anything other than your (meteorite-)rock-worshipping, superstitious cult. It’s a shame you’re offended, but you always will be if you don’t shut your mouth and get the courage to doubt and challenge yourself. To paraphrase the great Ross Noble: “Islam is just retarded as Christianity, so expect to be offended”
Wednesday July 14th, 2010 @ 3:11pm
I’d have to say when it comes to death, do I fear it? No. Do I fear the MANNER in which I will someday die, heck yeah! Maybe I’m a wimp- but I don’t want to go out in a blaze of glory, but I don’t want to languish in some crappy hospital for years on end, unable to communicate. I want to go quick and (moderatly) painlessly, preferably in my sleep or mid rant, making my arguement of the moment totally the last word. (After all, who’s gonna continue to debate a dead guy to his face? Besides a major loser, I mean.) I look at it as me wanting an easy death. And that has nothing to do with religion, it has everything to do with the fact that I don’t like pain! =)
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:07pm
thanks to God we have praying carpet to rest our selves. not night clubs, or alcohol, or prostitute.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:47pm
Is this another generalization of atheism?
All atheists are clubbers, alcoholics, and solicitors of prostitution?
You really are a moron.
In case you haven’t noticed I’m tired of playing nice with you, you don’t listen to anything but the voices in your head.
Get checked in to a mental health clinic, you need help.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:58pm
thank u for advice
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 4:59pm
you to behave your words. cause you are using offensive words.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:03pm
You’re using offensive stupid.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:11pm
no
i am just saying my beliefs.
unless almost all the world are stupid believing to God.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:11pm
I think the comment I happened to post at the same time as this one responds to it perfectly.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:11pm
Quite frankly you’re also making offensive accusations, pushing offensive beliefs and morals, and simply the magnitude of your sheer stupidity is offensive to me, as I have to accept the fact that you are of the same species as me, and can still be so incredibly moronic.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:20pm
you are asaying me ‘moron’. i dont know what it means. however it may be an offensive word.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:22pm
A moron is someone who is stupid, foolish, idiotic, any one of these words can be put in it’s place and the meaning remains the same.
Friday July 16th, 2010 @ 10:27am
I wouldn’t call you a moron libinot. Ignorant and incredibly nieve would be more apt. I also don’t hate you, I simply pity you for your blind devotion to a dying, out dated religion and its dangerous teachings.
Monday July 19th, 2010 @ 7:32pm
Look it up. In the English dictionary.
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:24pm
are u eglish? what is your nationality
Thursday July 15th, 2010 @ 5:25pm
Irrelevant strawman.
Please try again.

Sunday July 18th, 2010 @ 6:25pm
Should people be allowed to kill an animal for the sole purpose of revenge for killing another
Monday July 19th, 2010 @ 9:35pm
There is neither a facepalm large enough to give, nor a fire large enough for these people to go die in.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 2:11pm
really!!!!????? i didnt think that also you feel pitty for those who believe. really i wouldnt. i also feel pitty for you. i also dont hate you. i don’t even have permissin to hate you.
islam tells us to hate the bad habbits but not to hate people. do u know that some muslims who are really devoted cry a lot because of people that dont believe to the Creator, because they dont know the feeling of joy of believing to God. and they ask God a lot to guide them in the tru way. really it is. and maybe you think that muslims are all cruel and without mercy, but they just may seem like that. because muslim shuldn’t kneel to the unbelievers, but to each other they are very modest, they really are very merciful.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 2:41pm
Gotta get permission to have feelings?
That’s pretty fucking stupid.
Do you need permission to go to the bathroom too? Or to have a snack?
You really don’t see this as slavery?
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 7:14pm
come on…i deidnt mean such this. i meant it is not good to hate people but love them. islam teaches us to love people. that’s what i meant. cause of course people have feelings so sometimes they may hate sometimes love.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 7:44pm
Well that’s the thing, islam doesn’t actually teach anything specific. It’s all up to an individual’s interpretation of what he reads. Do you know why this is? Because humans thought it up, humans wrote it, and humans are reading it.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 6:25pm
Labinot you do not need permission to think or feel anything, it is YOUR choice.
I also do not think that all muslims are cruel or without compassion.
I have many good friends and even family who are happy to be muslim, and I respect them.
I respect the people but absolutely not the religion. Or any other intrusive religion.
Finally, I don’t hate you. I just think that Je ke shum per te mesuar.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 10:54pm
yes it is my choice to feel. it is humankind’s choice.
i know i have to learn much. i read, but people as much as they learn they understand that the less they know. there is turkish a poet’s saying:
“knowing means understanding yourself
if you didn’t understand yourself then what do you need to read this much.”
what do u think that the world without religion would be. dont you know that many people dont do crimes because of God.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 11:06pm
You’re going to have to try again here, there are far too many extra words in a few of these sentences to understand what you’re saying.
All I could gather was that you’re saying the more you read, the less you know, which is complete garbage.
As for what the world would be like without religion, it would be substantially more peaceful than it is with religion. Nobody would be killed in the name of some nonexistent superbeing, nobody would be stoned to death because of some insane laws from a book written by people who pretend it was written by that same superbeing, wars would not be waged over “holy land” such as the situation in Palestine/Israel, and millions upon millions of people would not be killed in “holy crusades” in the name of supposed supernatural deities.
We can’t say what would be, but we can most certainly say what wouldn’t be.
Wednesday July 21st, 2010 @ 7:00am
I can think of only one scenario from my personal experience where belief in god has been beneficial. A friend of mine has been very depressed and even considered suicide.
The only thing that stopped her is the fear of god and belief that suicide is a sin.
I think in her case, that “leash” has served her well, but that is one small example that helped one person.
Religion as a whole is a far more destructive force than people like to admit.
Tuesday July 20th, 2010 @ 5:51pm
Awlaki is a prime example of the DEATH CULT of WORLD TERRORISM.
Everyone has seen what these people believe in: killing those who disagree openly with them.
Why do we have to have Islam anywhere?
It does nothing positive anywhere in the world. There have been three lethal jihad attacks every single day of the year since 9-11.
Wednesday July 21st, 2010 @ 5:36am
labinot, I approach you as one that believes in both science and religion. I wish to explain to you that the reason people are displeased with the current state of the islamist belief is basically what you see here in this very forum. That when someone has a differeing opinion to the religion of islam, and voices their oppinion or opposition, they should be silenced. These forums belong to people that dont believe in Islam, but give equal right to you to be able to say what you believe. The courtesy should be returned that they should be able to say what they want without retribution. Censorship is dangerous to all.
It is for you to forgive your neighbour, and let God do the judgment when the time comes, not to take that judgment into your own hands.
