An audio message has appeared on the internet, apparently recorded by Abu Omar-al-Baghdadi who the Americans believe is leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, offering a reward for the murder of Lars Vilks.

Vilks is the Swedish newspaper cartoonist who chooses to express his right to freedom of expression by publishing cartoons of the muslim prophet Muhammad and whose cartoons caused “spontaneous” worldwide protests last year.  The protests were so spontaneous that they happened several months after the cartoons were published, all happened at the same time and the ring-leaders even managed to find plentiful supplies of Swedish flags to burn.

Anyway, I digress.  The Jihadi’s have offered a $100,000 reward for his murder and $150,000 if he is “slaughtered like a lamb”.  I don’t prescribe to the increasingly vocal minority who want an outright ban on Islam in England but I do believe that it’s time the establishment stopped perpetuating the myth that Islam is a religion of peace (it says that to be a good muslim you have to kill non-believers for a start, we’re lucky that most muslims don’t follow their religion too literally) stopped elevating the “muslim community” above other “communities” and stopped giving state support to muslim religious groups.
