Danish Cartoonist Puts Terror Blame Where It Belongs

Islamo-Fascist's seem to have some difficulty in hitting targets in countries outside of Asia because of George W. Bush's efforts to combat terror at its source. Today, radical Islamist scum targeted the Danish embassy in Pakistan killing many:

Copenhagen - A bombing Monday outside the Danish embassy in Pakistan believed to have claimed at least eight lives was condemned by Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Rasmussen said it was a "cowardly attack" and "strongly condemned" it, but he did not know who had carried out the attack or its motive.

The Danish premier said Pakistani authorities, including President Pervez Musharraf, had conveyed condolences to Denmark, and he had conveyed Copenhagen's condolences and offered Danish assistance to the victims of the bombing.

Of course, the left will look for the ambiguous "root causes" and will start with the Mohammed cartoons as the reason for the attack. The fact that provocation is not needed and that these fanatics will kill non-Muslims because their religion calls for it will escape them as is always the case.

However, one cartoonist lays the blame exactly where it belongs:

Copenhagen - Danish newspaper cartoonist Kurt Westergaard said he did not feel responsible for Monday's bombing of the Danish embassy in Pakistan, but deplored the deaths and injuries. "I have no influence over what fanatics do. But that people have been killed is really painful,"

Westergaard told the online edition of newspaper BT.

Westergaard's cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed depicted with a bomb in his turban was one of 12 published in newspapers that sparked violent protests in 2006 by Muslims worldwide and triggered a boycott of Danish goods.

Leading Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoons in February after Danish security police said they had averted an alleged plot to murder Westergaard.

Pakistan was one of the countries were protests were reported after the republication.

"My cartoon illustrates how some parts of a big religion, Islam, can inspire terrorism. The drawing has meant that I have been a target of the terrorists wish to kill me - and now this in Pakistan," he added.

Westergaard said he "could not personally take responsibility" if his cartoon had played a role in the car bombing of the embassy in Islamabad.

As well he shouldn't. Any right-thinking person would look past their hatred of Bush and the war on terrorism and see that this was a cowardly act meant to kill as many people as possible without regard to whether or not they've evr met Westergaard. In other words, it was a hate crime (yes, hate crimes can actually be perpetrated against white Danes and not always American minorities or homosexuals. That has many liberals scratching their heads I'm sure).

The war is far from over even if the constant pressure applied to al-Qaeda and other terror groups has resulted in a marked decline in terror attacks.
