[news] The Danish Cartoons & the American Neo-Con

[Mostly Water - mostlywater.org = news.resist.ca]

(L)et’s look at the guy who started this whole cartoon escapade. He’s Flemming Rose, the cultural editor of the Danish newspaper...(T)here is absolutely no mention of the fact that Rose is a close confederate of arch-Islamophobe Daniel Pipes...How bad is Pipes? He wants the utter military obliteration of the Palestinians; indeed, from the Muslim world, his racism is about as blatant as that of the Holocaust denying Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Pipes’ frequent outbursts of racism...earned him a Bush nomination to the U.S. Institute of Peace, a congressionally funded think tank. Rose came to America to commune with Pipes in 2004, and it was after that meeting the cartoon gambit materialized.
