View Full Version : Islamic Leader Calls for "International Day of Anger"

From http://www.spectator.co.uk/online_article.php?id=152 :
the BBC announces that the head of the International Association of Muslim Scholars has called for an "international day of anger" about the cartoons. It did not name this scholar, or tell us who he is. He is Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. According to Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, Qaradawi is like Pope John XXIII for Catholics, "the most progressive force for change" in the Muslim world.
Yet if you look up Qaradawi's pronouncements, you find that he sympathises with the judicial killing of homosexuals, and wants the rejection of dialogue with Jews in favour of "the sword and the rifle". He is very keen on suicide bombing, especially if the people who blow themselves up are children - "we have the children bomb".
As the article says, when these guys have a "day of anger", how can you tell the difference?

yeh, I'll be glad if they have one day of anger, get it out of their systems, and go back to being calm, cool and collected.

Jihad for a day. I'll accept that. On certain conditions (like, I get to fight back on the same day...)
Not being a registered user of The Spectator, I didn't get to see WHEN this day is due to happen.
I just wanna be prepared...

I wonder how much of this is due to the pandering to the "righteous anger" of the supposed Koran abuse at Gitmo. I wonder if that "scandal" had been dismissed as it should have been, if this would even be an issue now.

So, they gonna wait for it to die down and then build it up again?
Can I have an international day of anger to protest against the fact the majority of religions tell me I'm going to hell because I'm an atheist?

I don't understand why sometimes uploading images doesn't work.

You have suggested a causal link between the actions of Westerners and the burning of embassies. Therefore, what you actually mean is:
(1) Burning down embassies is a legitimate form of protest.
(2) Muslims are animals who have no free will.
(3) You are a racist.
This decision is final. No statement you make concerning your opinions will be taken into consideration, 'cos I get to decide what you think, 'cos I have Magical Superpowers.

La-la-la, I can't hear you.

Yeah, but Klingon broads are way hotter. That, and they show off that warrior cleavage.

I think they spent that day of anger when they burned down the Danish Embassy. How about a new idea? How about a day of anger for perverting Islam? When is the last time you've seen a protest against Islamic extremists? It just seems to me that the word "responsibility" doesn't translate well into arabic.

How about a day of not burning down embassies?
Or perhaps a day of humor would be great. It seems like some people need it. :p
