These people: Muslims who called for murder in public get jail time

It's official. There's a them. These people are Muslims, who seem to feel that calling for murder and terrorism in public should be A-OK. These people are not sane.

The latest example of Muslim insanity occurred during the sentencing of Muslims who got arrested during a protest at the Danish embassy back when cartoons of Muhammad appeared in a Danish newspaper. Remember that crap? This was my response to the cartoon flap. Anyway, during the protests I couldn't believe Muslims were in the streets calling for the overthrow of Britain and worse things.

From the BBC:

    Four men have been jailed for their part in protests outside the Danish embassy in London, against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

    Mizanur Rahman, 24, Umran Javed, 27, and Abdul Muhid, 24, were each jailed for six years for soliciting to murder after telling a crowd to bomb the UK.

    A fourth man, Abdul Saleem, 32, was jailed for four years for stirring up racial hatred at the protest in 2006.

    [...]

    Outside the sentencing hearing, a group of around 40 demonstrators waved placards with slogans including "Muslims Under Siege".

Several things caught my eye in the story:

1. Why do the media call Muhammad "Prophet Muhammad"? I'm not the first to ask the question. But why? Why not call Jesus "Jesus, Son of God?" Clearly the media is willing to take the word of Muslims for the prophet thing, but discard the Christian claim about Jeebus. As a staunch atheist, peace can be upon my ass.

2. Why would anyone get so bent out of shape over a cartoon in the first place? What is wrong with them?

3. Why would the protesters at the sentencing claim to be "under seige"? Well, it's because they feel their people should be able to call for murder and terrorism. That's just fine with them!

4. I'm stunned there were any arrests at all. London is called Londonistan for a reason. That these Muslims were arrested, let alone charged, convicted and sentenced, is a case of porcine aviation.

    Father-of-five and BT engineer Saleem was cleared of soliciting murder at his trial in February, but convicted of stirring up racial hatred.

    Saleem, from Poplar, east London, chanted, "7/7 on its way" and "Europe, you will pay with your blood".

An engineer! How many stories about engineers, architects, and doctors will we have to see before "progressives" will begin to understand that poverty is not a trigger for terrorism? (And if it was, it's still wrong.)

    The men had denied having extremist views and said they were simply following others rather than leading the protests.

Of course they denied having extremist views. Calling for murder and terror is moderate in their world.
