It is becoming more and more clear that the whole excitement about the cartoons is one big constructed media event.

  1. It is far from true that Mohammed has never been depicted. In the past hundreds of paintings, drawings and other images of Mohammed have been created over the centuries, with nary a word of complaint from the Muslim world. Follow this link to a Mohammed Image Archive.
  2. The cartoons which were send to the middle-east as ‘proof’ of the our blasphamies included some pictures which were never published by the Danish newspaper. Instead they included pictures of a Pig-Squealing Championship (follow this link).
