Merry Christmas from the Prophet

For some people, one fatwa isn't enough. Not satisfied with just publishing cartoons of Mohammed and writing a musical about him, Lars Vilks has now produced a Mohammed Christmas card.

After the Swedish Postal Service refused to deliver copies of a newspaper containing Vilks's original cartoons,  the Danish Free Press Society asked him to design a Christmas card for their members. Which he did.

Danish blogger Zonka translates the greeting as The Prophet wishes a Merry Christmas.

It's probably too late to order some to send to your friends this Christmas. They might do a re-print next year though.

Cool

It's just a pity that this cartoonist isn't actually very good. Looks like a 5 year old drew it!

How good do you expect the rotten old bastard to look after being dead for 1400 years?

That's a rubbish cartoon actually, but it gives me the chance to repost a couple of posts from my own forum which may well be relevent or if not, just intersting.

'Right I have just joined my second ever forum, the Islamic Society of a very well known university in London, an unfortunate necessity given that I am writing a paper on Islamic financial instruments.
Thought I had better familairise myself with the forum rules, and most things "is not allowed".
No# 2 below beggars belief, though. Bear in mind this is a university in 2007, where it might be hoped some light had somehow found its way in:

Please familiarise yourselves with the forum rules regarding gender relations.

It gets better asi n his next post, we have this.....

'I feel a bit of a traitor reporting on it but what is currently causing fever in the hen coop amongst the, university-educated, forum members is the discovery of a mummified dinosaur which scientists say could be 64m years old, thus making it 63.98m years older than the world actuallly is. The consternation, disbelief and cock-wringing this has set off is frightening to behold.'

Maybe there was an Islamic Darwin but they chopped his fingers off before he could put anything to paper.
