Al Qaeda Offers Bounty for Murder of Swedish Cartoonist
Saturday, September 15, 2007

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
CAIRO, Egypt ? The leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq offered money for the murder of a Swedish cartoonist and his editor who recently produced images deemed insulting to Islam, according to a statement carried by Islamist Web sites Saturday.

In a half hour audio file entitled "They plotted yet God too was plotting," Abu Omar al-Baghdadi also named the other insurgent groups in Iraq that Al Qaeda was fighting and promised new attacks, particularly against the minority Yazidi sect.

"We are calling for the assassination of cartoonist Lars Vilks who dared insult our Prophet, peace be upon him, and we announce a reward during this generous month of Ramadan of $100,000 for the one who kills this criminal," the transcript on the Web site said.

The Al Qaeda leader upped the reward for Vilks' death to $150,000 if he was "slaughtered like a lamb" and offered $50,000 for the killing of the editor of Nerikes Allehanda, the Swedish paper that printed Vilks' cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad with a dog's body on Aug. 19.

Vilks said from Sweden he believed the matter of his cartoons had been blown out of proportion.

"We have a real problem here," Vilks told The Associated Press by telephone. "We can only hope that Muslims in Europe and in the Western world choose to distance themselves from this and support the idea of freedom of expression."

Ulf Johansson, editor in chief of Nerikes Allehanda, said he took the bounty "more seriously" than other threats he had received. "This is more explicit. It's not every day somebody puts a price on your head."

Johansson said he had contacted the police and that they had already started work on the threat.

Aside from a few scattered protests and condemnations by Muslim countries, the reaction to the cartoon has been muted, in contrast to last year's fiery protests that erupted in several Muslim countries after a Danish newspaper published 12 cartoons of Muhammad that were reprinted in a range of Western media.

In an attempt to defuse the tensions caused by the cartoon in both Sweden and abroad, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt last week invited 22 Sweden-based ambassadors from Muslim countries to talk about the sketch.

Reinfeldt expressed regret at the hurt it may have caused, but said that according to Swedish law it is not up to politicians to punish the free press.

Al-Baghdadi added in his message that if the "crusader state of Sweden" didn't apologize, his organization would also attack major companies.

"We know how to force you to retreat and apologize and if you don't, wait for us to strike the economy of your giant companies including Ericsson, Scania, Volvo, Ikea, and Electrolux," he said.

No photo has ever appeared of al-Baghdadi, whom the U.S. describes as a fictitious character used to give an Iraqi face to an organization dominated by foreigners.

The U.S. has said that under interrogation, a top Al-Qaeda member revealed that al-Baghdadi's speeches are read by an actor.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq in the past has carried out operations in Jordan and may have links to militant groups in Lebanon, but is not known to have any kind of presence in Europe.

You cant be fucking serious? It seems most people on GFY have the education of a 3 year old. Muhammed was the last prophet not the only prophet, there were loads of prophets including Jesus and Moses, the first one being Adam. I'm not a Muslim and i'm not ignorant enough to not know that, wow.

And I'm just saying why was he special over the others before him? I stopped believing in the Easter Bunny way before I stopped believing in Santa Claus. I stopped believing in the Tooth Fairy because I lost all my teeth and just forgot about it. Then again, I was a child. Now I see no difference between any of it.

Does your 13 year old brother think the earth is flat?

Seriously though, I'm not knocking a "belief" as it's adjustable. If your brother currently believes in what he believes, that's fine and dandy. However, if he starts having faith in it and can't see any other point of view to the point he grows up and starts forcing those views on siblings and those around him, then your brother will suck as a human being. Guess time will tell.

I gathered that from your last post: "Because he was the last prophet and recieved the Qur'an, my 13 year old brother could of worked that out."

The whole "last prophet" thing led me to jump to conclusions, I guess. If my posts offended, I apologize.

Dont worry buzzy is a tough guy, he would never get offended at something so funny.

Gotta love the way that Fox news doesn't give credit to the AP authoring reporter (Maggie Michael, in this case) or any of the contributing writers (for this article - Louise Nordstrom) in the by-line.

That aside, though... this is pretty jacked up.

I think you know exactly what he was getting at and chose to simply big note yourself. He (psili) was merely showing his frustration at the fact that people shouldn't buy into all this dribble (religion). Or even buy into a religion enough for it to run/ruin their lives.

The thread was about Islam, I posted about it. Next time I'll be more indiscriminate about my religion bashing. Again, I apologize as long as it's someone's "beliefs" and goes no further.

It's only further proof that all civilized countries need to fight Islamofascists.

If it helps to persuade Sweden to do more in this global fight, it may be a good thing.
