Michelle Malkin is starting another furor with this post . She's right - they better step up security at the Supreme Court or expect bombs and protests there. Yup. Muhammad with a sword. Frozen in marble on a wall of America's highest court in the land. And Michelle links to this archive of depictions of Mohammad throughout history. And guess who has done a whole lotta depicting of the Prophet? Muslim artists. It's even more evidence that this is a trumped up protest to achieve political ends. As Richard Baehr notes, It seems far more than coincidental that the Danish cartoon controversy was heated to full boil by Muslim provocateurs (including Danish Muslims who created and circulated additional and significantly more inflammatory cartoons to stoke up the Muslim world’s reaction) in the week after the Hamas election, and just before the IAEA was considering recommending that the Security Council examine Iran’s nuclear program. In other words, at a point when the Europeans seemed ready to sanction both Iran and the Palestinians, a new issue diverted their eyes with the cartoon riots- self preservation. While Danish products have been removed from many store shelves in Middle East and other Muslim countries, there seems to have been a run on one Danish product: their national flag. After all, you need to have one in order to burn it. It seems strange that all these flags were ready for this crisis to get hot, as several keen observers have noted. Who sells Danish flags in the Arab world, after all? I would have never thought that they would be so readily available. Were the flags manufactured in advance for the ritual burning ceremonies this week? The strange plethora of Danish flags also may be evidence of something more than coincidence in the timing of this new crisis. Much like after the 9/11 attacks, the flag burnings and demonstrations in the Palestinian territories seemed as much an act of celebration, as defiance (street theatre for the world media). Richard just emailed me to note that Denmark is scheduled to take its place in rotation as head of the Security Council just as the Security Council is set to discuss Iran's nukes. Coincidence? You decide.
