Firsties!
I’d like to introduce myself. I’m David Needleman and I’ll be posting on this blog with my dear friend James Harrell, a man with whom I’ve been friends since grade school. Since we argue so much, we figured we might as well take it where it belongs – the internet.
First things first, shall we? The litmus test of our day. Do you support free speech? Specifically, were you a Western journalist who caved to Islamic aggression and accommodated that 7th century barbarism by refusing to publish these innocuous cartoons? Do you reward intimidation with your silent assent?
I sure as fuck don’t.
Here they are for the world to see. H/T first of all to the original cartoonists and the Jyllands-Posten, and to http://face-of-muhammed.blogspot.com/, my source for the original images. If I’d been a cartoonist at the Jyllands-Posten, I would not have been this kind to Muhammed. I would have done something more deserving. More in spirit with Muhammed’s teachings and the actions of his followers. Especially as we see them practiced today, everyday, everywhere around the world. A little something like this:
Epitaph of the New York Times: The Sword is Mightier than the Pen.
What have we learned in the 4 years since the Muhammed cartoon controversy?
Chime in. I’ll start it off by reiterating that no matter how many times apologists for Islam say so, Islam is NOT a religion of peace. Additionaly, the Western left, our so-called intellectuals can’t fit Islam into their Sesame Street narratives. No effective intellectual defense against this barbarism has been mounted by our self-proclaimed bastions of free speech. New York Times? New Yorker? Washington Post? LA Times? Chicago Sun Tribune? CNN? Keith Olbermann? Cowards.
When do we get to hear from Jaime?
There is no internet in Harrell House, nor apparently is his iInternet working either.
