February 8, 2006: Cartoon Jihad Hits New Lows: Arab European League Continues to Bottom Feed

The cartoon jihad continues to hit new lows, with this morning’s cartoon from the Arab European League, a group of Muslims located in Belgium.

Please note that I am not displaying the cartoons on this page, because they will be offensive to most. However, I am including links to a page containing the cartoons.

This morning's cartoon features two frames. The first shows a big, burly African man standing next to a doctor, who tells him to “go easy on her”. The second frame shows an emaciated African woman lying across a medical examination table. The doctor tells her “We think we’ve found the remedy so you’d be able to feel again.”

As a side note, the reaction to this cartoon has been interesting. Based upon the comments posted about the cartoon on various message boards, it appears that those in the West are interpreting the cartoon to mean that the woman is about to be raped.

But comments from the Arabic language message boards are finding a different message in the cartoon. One comment pretty much sums up the comments made by the posters, most apparently men, on the jihadi board: “The doctors know that a real man can cure it and they are sending a real man, a mohahid in, to show her”.

This cartoon shows two businessmen arguing next to a pile of bones labeled “Auswitch”. One man says “We have to get the Goooo somehow!” The second man looks at the pile of bones and says “I don’t think they are Jews.”

Over the past few days the group has posted a series of cartoons that by almost any standards would be considered offensive. So far we’ve seen the following cartoons:

This cartoon featured an emaciated Anne Frank in bed with Adolph Hitler. Hitler tells Frank to “Write this one in your Diary”.

This cartoon appears to be poking fun at Gay marriage. It shows what appears to be a wedding between a woman and a donkey. The man performing the ceremony says “I declare you um? Huban… Animal and wife.”

This cartoon showing Steven Spielberg on the phone asking for help on his new project titled “Holocaust”. The response: “I don’t think I have that much of imagination Stevem sorry.”

The cartoons are being served on from a webserver based in California, on IP address 67.15.14.50 which is assigned to Everyone’s Internet, a webhost that has previously been associated with terrorist websites.
