German weekly SPIEGEL claims that the late Muhammad cartoonist Kurt Westergaard is responsible for Islamic terror

De mortuis nil nisi bene.One should only tell good things about the deceased. Of course, this principle cannot always be adhered to. But the way the magazine “SPIEGEL” yesterday presented the story of the impact of the Mohammed cartoons on the occasion of the death of Kurt Westergaard in a teaser is as repulsive as it is typical for the general Islam-appeasement of the German mainstream media.

Translation: His cartoon of Mohammed caused worldwide riots with many deaths, and the attack on “Charlie Hebdo” is also indirectly attributed to it: Now the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard has died.

The journalist and lawyer Arnd Diringer commented aptly on Twitter: “The riots with numerous deaths and the attack on “Charlie Hebdo” are thus the result of a few pictures and not the result of a murderous ideology and deeds of its supporters.

It’s just something different whether you depict Christ as a pig on the cross or sell the Piss Christ dipped in urine as art or whether you cartoon the murderer, warmonger and child molester Mohammed. In the latter case, it is obviously understandable for MSM like SPIEGEL if the “faithful” are outraged and cut the throat of someone or other or shoot him or blow him up.

The non-Muslim has to show more sensitivity. If he knows how deeply he is hurting noble Muslim hearts and yet still insults the No. 1 religion of mercy with satire and caricature, the blood of the victims of profoundly devout Muslims is on the hands of the provocative offender. Anyone who does not understand this is Islamophobic and a racist. And anyone who even publicly disagrees with this assessment is in all likelihood also a Nazi or worse.

E.g. an old white and Christian fundamentalist who cannot stand justified criticism of his own religion – covered by artistic freedom – and therefore displays lack of solidarity towards Muslims when they defend themselves against blasphemous writings and images with the necessary hardness.
