The Freethinker publishes cartoon special

March 8th, 2006 by Monitor

The March issue of the UK’s secular-humanist monthly, The Freethinker, is a “religious cartoons special edition”, featuring several Mo-toon fever inspired cartoons, a couple of Jesus-on-the-cross funnies, Jesus and Mo, one of the original “Danish twelve” (the “ran out of virgins” one – “turban bomb” and “horn head” were reprinted in the November 2005 issue, to a noticeable absence of outrage), and articles by Irshad Manji and Ibn Warraq, among other things.

The other side of the argument is also presented. Shaykh Riyad Nadwion’s It’s a Question of Love, Newsnight, not Fear! is reproduced from the MCB’s website. Plus some of Irshad Manji’s hate mail for good measure.

The Freethinker publishes cartoons

Closing one instance of free speech is a good reason to create a whole bunch more.

How long before the islamic Nazis go for this magazine then?

And the appeaser, Straw, makes whingeing noises about “offence” ??

MediaWatchWatch was set up in January 2005 in reaction to the religious campaign against the BBC's broadcasting of Jerry Springer: the Opera.

We keep an eye on those groups and individuals who, in order to protect their beliefs from offence, seek to limit freedom of expression. And we make fun of them.
