... We Cannot Forget The Drinks ...

A Pakistani cleric announced Friday a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew Prophet Muhammad, as thousands joined street protests and Denmark temporarily closed its embassy and advised its citizens to leave the country.
Police confined the former leader of an Islamic militant group to his home to prevent him from addressing supporters over the cartoons, amid fears he could incite violence, after riots this week killed five people.
Security forces were out in strength, particularly around government offices and Western businesses, as Muslims streamed onto the streets after Friday prayers. More than 200 people were detained, but most gatherings were peaceful.
In neighboring India, police used batons and tear gas to disperse thousands of angry worshippers who rioted in the southern city of Hyderabad. They burned Danish flags, pelted police with stones, and looted shops. Hundreds more protested in Bangladesh.
In the northwestern Pakistan city of Peshawar, prayer leader Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi announced the bounty for killing a cartoonist to about 1,000 people outside the Mohabat Khan mosque.
Qureshi said the mosque and his religious school would give $25,000 and a car, while a local jewelers' association would give another $1 million. No representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer.
"This is a unanimous decision by all imams (prayer leaders) of Islam that whoever insults the prophet deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize," Qureshi said.
Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement. He did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures.
A Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, first printed the prophet pictures by 12 cartoonists in September. The newspaper has since apologized to Muslims for the cartoons, one of them showing Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban with an ignited fuse. Other Western newspapers, mostly in Europe, have reprinted the pictures, asserting their news value and the right to freedom of expression.
In Islamabad, former U.S. President Bill Clinton criticized the cartoons but said Muslims wasted an opportunity to build better ties with the West by holding violent protests.
"I can tell you, most people in the United States deeply respect Islam ... and most people in Europe do," he said on a visit to sign an HIV- AIDS project by his foundation.
Denmark announced it had temporarily closed its embassy in Pakistan. It also advised against all travel to Pakistan and urged Danes still in the country to leave.
"We have decided to do so because of the general security situation in the country," Foreign Ministry spokesman Lars Thuesen said.
Denmark has already temporarily closed its embassies in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Indonesia after anti-Danish protests and threats against staff.
Pakistan, meanwhile, recalled its ambassador to Denmark for "consultations" about the cartoons, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
Unrest over the cartoons has spiraled in Pakistan, even as it has ebbed in the rest of Asia and in the Middle East. Big riots in Lahore and Peshawar this week caused millions of dollars in damage, as hundreds of vehicles were burned and protesters targeted numerous U.S. and other foreign-brand businesses, including KFC, McDonald's, Citibank, Holiday Inn and Norwegian cell phone company Telenor.
Intelligence officials have said scores of members of radical and militant Islamic groups, such as Jamaat al-Dawat, joined the unruly protests in Lahore on Tuesday and had incited violence in a bid to undermine President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's government.
On Friday, police confined Jamaat al-Dawat's leader, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, to his home in Lahore to stop him from addressing supporters in the city of Faisalabad, about 75 miles away, his spokesman Yahya Mujahid said.
Saeed used to lead Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, a militant group closely associated with Jamaat al-Dawat and banned by Musharraf four years ago.
A senior police official in Lahore who confirmed Saeed's detention said the government had ordered police to restrict the movement of all religious leaders who might address rallies and to round up religious activists "who could be any threat to law and order."
The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter with media because of its sensitivity.
Police used tear gas and batons in isolated incidents at Friday's protests, but generally they were free of violence. About 7,000 protested in Rawalpindi, 5,000 in the southwestern city of Quetta and 5,000 in Karachi.
Michelle Malkin notes that the Dread Pundit Bluto recalled this from 2002:
Nightly, following the Salat Traweeh, listen to the renowned Islamic Scholar from Peshawar, Pakistan, MAULANA YOUSEF QURESHI. The Maulana will be at the MDQ New Mosque for the remainder of the most Blessed RAMADHAN. The Maulana is very well known in Pakistan, especially in the NWF. He is presently the KHATEEB at the famous MASJID MUHABAT KHAN in PESHAWAR.
Recalled what, you ask? There is nothing there. Au contraire, this is a report from the Islamic Valley events card. Islamic Valley was held nearby the New York State Capitol region. Furthermore, Bluto points out that Islamic Valley is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Islamic training center uncovered by Dr. Shackleford of the Jawa Report.
Disturbing report from WND about terror groups using Islamic schools in the U.S. as a front for their recruitment and training activities.
I'm *shocked*. Thanks to Nicholas for sending this link:
The Pakistani terrorist group Jamaat ul Fuqra is using Islamic schools in the United States as training facilities, confirms a joint investigative report by an intelligence think tank and an independent reporter.
A covert visit to an encampment in the Catskill Mountains near Hancock, N.Y., called "Islamberg" found neighboring residents deeply concerned about military-style training taking place there but frustrated by the lack of attention from federal authorities, said the report by the Northeast Intelligence Network, which worked with an Internet blogger, "CP," to publish an interim report.
The neighbors interviewed, who asked not to be identified, said they feared retaliation if they were to make a report to law enforcement officials.
"We see children – small children run around over there when they should be in school," one neighbor said. "We hear bursts of gunfire all of the time, and we know that there is military-like training going on there. Those people are armed and dangerous." ...
Jamaat ul-Fuqra, or "community of the impoverished," was formed by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in New York in 1980. Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr," has stated his objective is to "purify" Islam through violence.
Gilani also is the founder of a village in South Carolina called "Holy Islamville."
The encampment in Hancock, N.Y., is run by a front for Jamaat ul-Fuqra called Muslims of the Americas Inc., which operates a school known as the International Quranic Open University Inc....
Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in the U.S.
The group seeks to counter "excessive Western influence on Islam" through any means necessary, publicly embracing the ideology that violence is a significant part of its quest to purify Islam. The enemies of Islam, the group says, are all non-Muslims and any Muslim who does not follow the tenets of fundamentalist Islam as detailed in the Quran.
Jamaat ul-Fuqra openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in compounds where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority.
According to the report, there appear to be more than two dozen "Jamaats," or private communities, loosely connected and scattered throughout the U.S. with an estimated 5,000 members.
And for more, check out The Politics of CP's extensive coverage here.
And there is more over at Little Green Footballs. It seems as though we have a tennis star, who is Muslim who has refused to enter into a doubles match with an Israeli out of fear of retribution from the vaunted "religion of peace." In addition to that, Danish soccer players are supposed to play a match in Israel, and are reluctant to go there. Why? You guessed it, the "religion of peace." Charles has the links to both stories. Go read them, especially about the tennis player who is a star in her native India, and has been receiving death threats for wearing the appropriate unifmorm to play her game. PATHETIC!
Also, visit Riehl World View for the link to the video with two Danish editors with a scope-sight superimposed over their faces; a clear-cut death threat.
Michelle also points out a pro al-Qaeda forum that has the following message on their site:
"The Global Day for protesting in front of the Danish Embassy to protest offenses to our Prophet, Monday morning February 13. Participate and Support your Prophet. Blood and blood, destruction and destruction to the enemies of Allah."
In addition to that, there was also this on that site:
"Since Danish embassies are all over the Muslim world, why don’t we burn them down with everyone inside?"
Classy, is it not? These people are acting like this because cartoons were drawn of Mohammed, which basically conveys the messages that they act like this. Oh yes, that is the way to change people's minds about your religion. I hope they understand that they are only making things worse for themselves. This is not helping their cause at all, and when push comes to shove, they will lose. And no, there will be link to that site on The Asylum. If you want the link to see it for yourself, go to Michelle's site.
But, I share the same question with our readers that was posed by one of Michelle's readers. I do wonder how much of that million dollar bounty is going to come from Muslim Charities around the world, and even here in America. I do hope we are closely watching groups like CAIR, and preventing them from funneling that money to these bloodthirsty animals.

I've noticed how often the leaders of Islam is mentioned. Most clerics and Imams (leaders) are behind the riots and deaths. They are very good at manipulating the people including us. Rawriter
