Police in New York are investigating whether a car bomb in Times Square was targeted on the makers of South Park over a controversial depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.

The device, which failed to detonate, was left near the offices of Viacom, which owns the irreverent cartoon series. Last month postings on an Islamic website warned the creators of South Park – Matt Stone and Trey Parker – that they could face violent reprisals after an episode of the show featured Muhammad in a bear suit.

[…] On the other hand, as for Comedy Central, it is clear their act of cowardice did not protect anybody from those who are determined to attack. Will they respond with more censorship, or decide now is the time for the gloves to come off? […] Times Square car bomb: Alert street vendor summoned police over smoking SUV

Framväxten av högerpopulism och islamofobi i Europa- kan Sverige gå en annan väg? Dramaturgin och de retoriska figurerna som SD använder för att fiska röster är ingenting nytt utan välbekanta och beprövade metoder som används av andra partier i Europa. Med öppna ögon ser vi hur dessa metoder (muslimknappen) används. Finns det för Sverige någon annan väg att bemöta högerpopulismens framfart eller kommer vi se samma walk-over seger här?

Britisk politi: Union Jack “racistisk”

Mere konsekvent kan et land næppe undergrave sig selv. Der er selvfølgelig en oplagt parallel i mistænkeliggørelsen af Dannebrog herhjemme, og associeringen af flaget med Dansk Folkeparti, men det er formentlig kun i Storbritannien og Sverige at de nationale farver kan medføre løftede pegefingre fra myndighederne (LFPC).

A pensioner who put up a red, white and blue election poster telling voters to kick out MPs was accused of racism by police. After being inundated by canvassing politcians, Roy Newman, 74, decided to tell other voters: ‘GET THE LOT OUT.’ But 90 minutes after he put up the homemade sign up in an upstairs room at his house, two police officers arrived and threatened with arrest.

They said the Union Jack-coloured lettering on a white background could be considered ‘racist’. He was told there had been a single complaint and he was ordered to remove it or change it otherwise he would end up in court .
