Cartoons from the Arab World

While we’re all talking about cartoons, perhaps angry Muslims can take but a moment to reflect on their own history of offensive artwork that was circulated by the Arab press.

Tom Gross reports:

“A selection of cartoons from the media of seven Arab countries (Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Syria and Egypt) and from the Palestinian Authority is displayed below. A number of these countries are regarded as moderate or allied to the West. Most print media in the Arab world are under the full or partial control of the ruling regimes.”(Hat tip: Newsmax)

Here’s a great example:

Arab Cartoons: Sharon 9/11

In this cartoon, from Al-Watan newspaper in Qatar (June 23, 2002), Ariel Sharon is shown watching on the sidelines as an Israeli plane crashes into New York’s World Trade Center. The Arabic words alongside the Twin Towers are “The Peace.” This cartoon restates the widely held myth in the Arab world that Israel and the Jews were responsible for the 9/11 attacks which were in fact carried out by al-Qaeda.

But we’re not talking about people that care about the facts.
Just carnage.

    Now, I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I don’t think that Methodists or Catholics or Jews did any of these things. And now just what is it you want the rag-heads to do now? Isn’t that like the fox watching the hen house?.
