Muhammad Cartoon Hoax: Difference between revisions

The extra images were accepted by several major News outlets (including the [[Australia|Australian]] network SBS and the [[United Kingdom|British]] BBC, who later admitted their mistake)<ref>[http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/778 BBC Admits Fatal Negligence] - The Brussels Journal, February 8, 2006</ref> as being part of the original twelve Jyllands-Posten images. It is quite shocking that these huge news organisations could fail to do some simple fact-checking before broadcasting factually incorrect information about such sensitive issues.  

According to the BBC, the source of these images (through their own admission) has been traced back to the delegation of Danish Muslim leaders themselves.<ref>"...''This picture, a fuzzy grey photocopy, can now be traced back (suspicion having been confirmed by an admission) to a delegation of Danish Muslim leaders who went to the Middle East in November to publicise the cartoons. The visit was organised by Abu Laban, a leading Muslim figure in Denmark''..." - [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4686536.stm A clash of rights and responsibilities], Paul Reynolds, World Affairs correspondent, BBC News, February 6, 2006</ref> The delegation claimed they were sent to Danish Muslims, but failed to verify where and to whom they were sent.

Many suspect that it was in fact the Muslim leaders who produced these images in an attempt to heighten Muslim aggression towards the original Danish publication. This would not be surprising, considering [[lying]] is [[Lying and Deception in Islam|permitted in Islam]], and [[Muslims Caught Using Deception|other Muslim leaders]] such as Omar Bakri Mohammed and Noor Ramjanally have no qualms about doing such things. Whatever the case may be, the actions of the delegation (by promoting the relatively unknown images to Muslim countries) and these additional and infinitely more offensive images, have no doubt contributed greatly to the massive and senseless world-wide death-toll.
