What do the Holocaust and the making of Muhammad cartoons have to do with one another? For most normal thinking people they have nothing to do with each other but to the sensitive Muslim, they do!
‘Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the absence of an international policy against the generation of blasphemous content is a “collective failure” on part of the Muslim countries.
Addressing the Senate for the first time as prime minister on Monday 27 August, Imran Khan said his government will raise the matter before the United Nations. 
The Senate had passed a resolution to bring the UN’s attention to the matter regarding the announcement by the leader of Dutch Freedom Party and Parliamentarian Geert Wilders to hold a competition of blasphemous caricatures.
“Our government will raise the matter in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and ask the Muslim countries to come up with a collective policy that could then be brought up at international forums.”
“This should have been done years ago,” PM Khan said while giving the example of the Holocaust and how four European countries have jail sentences for “anyone who misquotes the figures of Holocaust. That is because they realise that this is something that hurts the sentiments of the Jewish community.”
“We need a similar policy for this matter so that people do not repeatedly hurt our sentiments.”’ https://www.amust.com.au/2018/08/imran-khan-on-wilders-blasphemous-cartoon-competition/
So, lying about how many Jews were murdered in the Holocaust is comparable to the sentiments of the sensitive Muslim when a cartoon of Muhammad is drawn! How absurd is that?!
Well, the sensitive feeling Muslim did not need to worry for the Muhammad cartoon competition was canceled.
‘Geert Wilders said the controversial contest would not go ahead following death threats and concerns other people could be put at risk.
“To avoid the risk of victims of Islamic violence, I have decided not to let the cartoon 
contest go ahead,” the far-right opposition politician said in a written statement.
Mr Wilders, who lived for years under round-the-clock protection because of death threats sparked by his fierce anti-Islam rhetoric, said he did not want others to be endangered by the contest he had planned for November.’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/muhammad-cartoon-competition-cancelled-geert-wilders-netherlands-a8515801.html
Does anyone see the irony in all this? It seems the sensitive feelings of Islamists supplant the freedom of non-Muslims!
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
I don’t know what you think but a good clean joke or cartoon can change one’s attitude and even their day! Well, the PC police are out to make sure jokes, cartoons and other forms of entertainment are what they believe is politically correct even if that means they are disgusting, dumb, dopey, and in Hillary Clinton’s words deplorable. For instance ‘During the January 16 episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, the Comedy Central host slimes Second Lady Karen Pence for teaching at a school that promotes “Biblical Morality.” Noah begins the segment by insinuating that both Karen and husband VP Mike Pence secretly have disturbing sexual fetishes. He jokes, “Moving on to other hiring news, Mike Pence’s wife Karen or ‘Mother’ as she’s called during their BDSM late-night kink sessions, announced she is going back to work.
Netflix’s first season of Sex Education pushes hard for pro-abortion propaganda in January. The show — about a son coming to terms with his mother being a sex advice columnist and eventually deciding to take up her mantle in his high school community — is no doubt steeped in progressive and new age-y sexual themes involving teenagers.
The worst theme involves female character Maeve undergoing an abortion, and the procedure is presented in a healthy, coming-of age way. After the procedure, Maeve meets up with Otis, a love interest who has brought her flowers to celebrate. She tells him, “Nothing says happy abortion like a bouquet.” https://www.lifenews.com/2019/02/11/33-tv-shows-in-january-slam-terrorist-trump-but-praise-abortion/
Well, in the Land Down Under the PC police wouldn’t think of stopping the above ‘garbage’ but they are slapping the hands of the cartoonists they believe are being racist.
For instance, ‘Another News Corp cartoonist is under fire for what has been described as a racist depiction of asylum seekers in Tuesday’s Daily Telegraph.
Warren Brown weighed into the debate on the medical evacuation of people from Manus
Island and Nauru detention centres with a cartoon that depicted a crazed Arab chasing a white, female health professional.
It also shows key backer of ‘medivac’ laws, independent MP and doctor Kerryn Phelps, reading the bill while telling the ‘refugee’ “do you mind not doing that until I’ve got the bill passed”.
Late on Tuesday afternoon, the cartoon had yet to appear on The Daily Telegraph website or Brown’s social media platforms.
Online, the criticism was scathing, with many posters on Twitter noting that News Corporation has form in depicting racial stereotypes.’
Now, is it wrong to draw a cartoon depicting the way some may perceive what is being played out in Parliament and what the result might be? This cartoon may be telling the truth but even if it is not should it be banned? However, there probably would be no ‘scathing criticism’ about any cartoon if it was portraying a conservative politician seeking to pass a bill and a person carrying a Bible!
However, I digress for this ‘…latest controversy comes after veteran Herald-Sun cartoonist Mark Knight rejected suggestions last September that his depiction of American tennis champion Serena Williams was racist, saying those condemning him were “making stuff up”.
HIs contentious cartoon came after Williams lost to Japan’s Naomi Osaka after being given three code violations. Mr. Knight’s cartoon shows Williams stamping on her racquet with a dummy on the ground and the umpire telling Osaka, “Can you just let her win?”.
The outrage that following the work prompted the newspaper to publish a front page full of Mr. Knight’s cartoons saying “Welcome to PC world. Satire free zone”.
To date, there has been no Press Council adjudication on complaints made about that cartoon.
In 2016, the late cartoonist with The Australian, Bill Leak escaped sanction from the Press 
Council over a cartoon depicting an Aboriginal father unable to recall his son’s name.‘ https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2019/02/12/criticism-racist-news-corp-cartoon/?utm_source=Adestra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=PM%20Update%2020190212
Let’s be frank, not all cartoons, not all jokes, and not all books are created equal. The point is, who or what is the Australian Press Council to say what a cartoonist should draw or not draw? You nor I have to watch a television programme, read an article or look at a cartoon if we do not want to! So far anyway, we aren’t forced to! There are many articles, jokes, tv shows, ads, cartoons, etc. etc. that are offensive to Christian conservatives but are they going to do what Muslims did to Charlie Hebdo? No, they are not!
However, in this writer’s opinion, if those in charge of television programming and printed cartoons had some true blue old fashioned character some of the rubbish written, verbalized, and put on air today would soon disappear. Now, that’s only my opinion!
As more and more states in the USA and other Western nations legalize marijuana the truth concerning its effect on individuals, families and entire nations is never really told. Here are the last four paragraphs of an article that gives some insight into the truth of the matter.
‘For centuries, people worldwide have understood that cannabis causes mental illness and violence—just as they’ve known that opiates cause addiction and overdose. Hard data on the relationship between marijuana and madness dates back 150 years, to British asylum registers in India. Yet 20 years ago, the United States moved to encourage wider use of cannabis and opiates.
In both cases, we decided we could outsmart these drugs—that we could have their benefits without their costs. And in both cases we were wrong. Opiates are riskier, and the overdose deaths they cause a more imminent crisis, so we have focused on those. But soon enough the mental illness and violence that follow cannabis use will also be too widespread to ignore.
Whether to use cannabis, or any drug, is a personal decision. Whether cannabis should be legal is a political issue. But its precise legal status is far less important than making sure that anyone who uses it is aware of its risks. Most cigarette smokers don’t die of lung cancer. But we have made it widely known that cigarettes cause cancer, full stop. Most people who drink and drive don’t have fatal accidents. But we have highlighted the cases of those who do.
We need equally unambiguous and well-funded advertising campaigns on the risks of cannabis. Instead, we are now in the worst of all worlds. Marijuana is legal in some states, illegal in others, dangerously potent, and sold without warnings everywhere.’ https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/marijuana-mental-illness-violence/?appeal_code=MK119EM1&sc=MK119EM1&utm_campaign=imprimis&utm_source=housefile&utm_medium=email&utm_content=january2019marijuana&_hsenc=p2ANqtz–4MUtHAbZmCylWVK6ObF7mwREI4LT62YUz9SjpJKs6uKDNk0sxHoA_aRMMp2J_jh_gMwcAFEZqADQOufpFsS4UfPhMGQ&_hsmi=69315155
