And you thought the Islamomaniacal outrage over cartoons had ended with the Muslim shakedown of Molly Norris’ ‘Everybody Draw Muhammad Day’

Muslim death threats on cartoonists like Molly Norris forced her to change her name and go into hiding. But cartoon outrage never dies, it just gets redirected at anyone who dares to exercise freedom of expression by drawing an image of the paedophile prophet Muhammad.
(One would think that even inbred Muslim morons would come to realize that by protesting these cartoons and threatening the people who created them, their outrage gets the cartoons far more public attention than they ever would have had if they simply ignored them )
BBC Now, the president of a London university atheist society has resigned over a row about an image of the Prophet Muhammad. The society at University College London (UCL) published an image on its Facebook page showing “Jesus and Mo” having a drink at a bar.
The atheist group was asked by the UCL union to remove it, but refused and started a petition defending its freedom of expression. A student Muslim group began a counter-petition asking for its removal.
UCL’s Atheist, Secularist and Humanist society said its president Robbie Yellon was stepping down to be replaced by former vice president Michael Thor. ”Robbie stepped aside because he signed up as president to organise events and run a student society.” ”He did not appreciate the stress he would be under when dealing with a controversy like this, so he wanted to make way for someone else.”
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association association is continuing with its protest against the image, saying it has wider implications.
Adam Walker, the association’s national spokesperson, said the two student groups had worked well together in the past and said the offence was unnecessary. ”There is no need to print these things other than to cause offence and history has told us that these things cause offence.”
The image that started the controversy was taken from an online satirical comic called Jesus and Mo. The twice-weekly comic strip, running since 2005, depicts Jesus and what creators say is a “body double” of Muhammad talking to a barmaid.
The row has prompted debate on the internet with prominent academic and author Richard Dawkins backing the atheist society. UCL Union (UCLU) said in a statement: “The atheist society has agreed they will take more consideration when drawing up publicity for future events.
“The society was asked to remove the image because UCLU aims to foster good relations between different groups of students and create a safe environment where all students can benefit from societies regardless of their religious or other beliefs.”
love the cartoons.too bad Muslims don’t have a sense of humor.
So, the morale of the story is ” If you want to effectively protest something, threaten the opposing group with violence.” can you imsgine the outcry should a Christian group threatened violence?
British Acadamia as well as the law enforcement community should just come out and admit that they are afraid of the Muslims. At least they could set the record straight. One cannot begin to solve a problem until one can acknowledge that problem.
Regardless of their religious beliefs? Do they mean we should accept the religion of Head Hunters, too? Libtards!
I’d call Robbie a wimp for resigning but it would be a cheap shot to tweak someone for quitting a job I wouldn’t have had the nerve to try doing in the first place.
Since trying to police people’s feelings is irrational, people can’t be blamed for feeling “offended”. Or even saying they are offended. But when no facts are involved and no living person is being libeled or slandered, when in fact the target of the satire quite possibly never existed at all (see Robert Spencer’s new book “Did Mohammed Exist?”), no one’s rights are being violated, so that’s where it ends. There are no “wider implications”. No one has the right to try to silence people because what they are saying or drawing “offends” someone else’s belief in a fantasy figure whose existence they cannot prove. Any attempt to do so is to violate the basic human right of each person to expression their own convictions.
I’m repeating the obvious here because the Thugs and Goons at CAIR who are monitoring this cannot possible hear it often enough. though they will never get it through their thick rag-ged skull. Here’s the rules: If you choose to believe that, say, Batman is real and that you must do what Batman has ordered you to do so you can go live in a super Batcave on Jupiter after you die, with 72 rechargeable virgin Catwomen, that is your business. If someone points out to you that Batman is a fantasy character and your beliefs are irrational you can pull the biggest temper tantrum you like, but you may NOT physically attack or interfere with the rights of that person who has hurt your feelings. That’s the way grownups play. You’ll understand when you’re older.
Meanwhile, UCL union obviously doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the beliefs of the atheists; only the “hurt feelings” of the religious, specifically the Muslims count. That piles hypocrisy and cowardice on top of their willingness to violate the rights of the athiest students at the whim and whine of the ragheads.
What’s the plural of “putz”?
RRA, putzes.
I wish an artist would take some pig shit, throw in some dog shit, and mold it into the shape of Mo. Disgusting? Absolutely. But an apt rendition of that filthy piece of shit “prophet?” Hell yes!
Cranky, I like your style! There are 1.5 billion Muslims,I suspect a fair percentage who are Muslim not of their own free will) 4.5 Billion who AREN’T Muslim. Why are we, the NonMuslims being forced to cowtow to the whims of this absurd minority?
someone should pay this cartoonist to do a .pdf cartoon book free to email to all so that the message can be spread that Islam is Evil to human freedom. The message needs to get out there. and it would be so easy to email to muzzies too!
Ron, you nailed it!!! The dialogue of those cartoons is extremely good. Together, the drawings and the words effectively convey a true message about Islam.
Anything that graphically exposes Moe’s arrogance, vanity, moral failings & vulnerability with great clarity deserves to go viral.
Ron, a great idea, Emailing it to the Muslims would be the best part!
1. Did the Atheists publish all of the panels displayed here?
2. If not, how much did they display?
3. What is the source URL where we can read the entire series?

Good information! How can we increase the Moslem readership of these matters?
The more Moslems read contrary information, the more will discover the deceptive nature of this Death Cult.
LMAO. Cartoons are great. More needed.
Cartoons prove that Mozzies deify Mohammed.
They claim that Allah has no partners, but in fact Mo is more sacrosanct than Allah.
Allah is actually the partner of Mohammed…Mohammed is the god Mozzies worship and Allah is his sock puppet.
Brilliant cartoons! I’d only seen the first of these previously, but the rest will be posted on my site very shortly.
I read the cartoons every week and I love them! They occasionally bring Moses in as well–what a toot. As for the Muslims, they need to either get a sense of humour or shut up. No school or organization should put up with Muslims demanding special treatment. I am sick of free speech being stifled for the sake of Islam, and Islam alone! Get rid of Muslims and there is no problem…
OK. It says “http://barenakedislam.com in the browser, so why does it still say “Proudly powered by WordPress” at the bottom of the page?
DG, it is powered by WP as in I bought their software. But it is not hosted by WP, the big difference.
I’m shocked by all these racist and islamophobic comments on this website. I wonder how many of you ever read the Quran or at least parts of it and try to actually understand what the religion and the people are about. Sure, there are parts in the Quran that don’t go with the modern understanding of human rights. But what about the Bible? Exactly, the same. Just because there are extremist Muslims in the world doesn’t mean that all Muslims are extremists and try to kill innocent people. I thought history showed us in many examples what outcomes racism and hate create. Yet it seems that a lot of people haven’t understood that yet. What we should do is encounter, talk to each other and try to understand the people we live with. But I guess it is just too easy to believe populist media and think in black and white patterns.
“Islam came after Christianity – Christianity is HUNDREDS of years older than Islam – and is similar to Christianity in many, many ways. Hence The Koran is just a spurious carbon-copy of The Bible, with “Jesus Christ” scratched out everywhere it appears and “Mohammed” scribbled in. Anyone who can denounce Christianity and espouse Islam with a straight face is obviously unsound.”
I have *many* friends who make this very argument, and I’d like to know how sound it is. Thanks.
