The infamous cartoons from the Danish newspaper “Jyllands-Posten” featuring the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban with a bomb in it is now a reality. There have been 5 reported “turban bomb” incidents in the last 7 months. The irony is in the previous violent response to the original cartoons. There was an immense amount of Muslim anger and violence in the depiction of their prophet. Now hardline fundamentalist Muslims are playing right into the Dutch cartoonist’s hands. They’re putting bombs in their turbans and blowing people up. Horrifically Awesome Irony….. Kurt Westergaard, the Danish artist who drew the “turban bomb” cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad that sparked violent protests across the Muslim world, says he has “no regrets about the caricature that changed his life”. He lives under death threats that seem to be more than just words. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service arrested three men suspected of planning to kill him and continue to hold a watchful eye over this constantly threatened cartoonist.
The most recent turban bomb was in the assassination of Former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani.

Former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, whose emotional and tempestuous funeral took place only hours ago, was assassinated this week in Kabul as part of an elaborate plot. As The New York Times reports today, Taliban members spent months wooing Afghan officials and pretending that the Quetta Shura, the Taliban leadership council in Pakistan, was ready for peace talks with the Afghan government’s High Peace Council, which Rabbani led. A Quetta Shura emissary then stayed at a peace council guesthouse and presented council members with a CD promising peace, only to detonate explosives hidden in his turban as he greeted Rabbani in his home and embraced him. Peace council member Rahmatullah Wahidyar, who was injured in the attack, tells the Times that when he regained consciousness, “I saw the guy lying at my feet, and I saw his body without his head.”
The turban bomb, according to a Reuters report earlier this month, represents a new tactic for insurgents in Afghanistan. In fact, Rabbani’s death marks the fourth time the strategy has been used since July 14, when a suicide bomber concealing explosives in his turban blew himself up outside a memorial service for Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, in Kandahar. Subsequent turban attacks killed Kandahar mayor Ghulam Haider Hamidi and targeted the Helmand Military Corps Center on Afghanistan’s Independence Day. In early August, Karzai urged the country’s religious leaders to “convince militants not to use turbans and other religious attire to carry out suicide bombings, not to target mosques and to make them aware that suicide was un-Islamic,” according to Reuters. Meanwhile, guards at some government ministries in Kabul began asking men to remove their turbans for security checks.

It was a Danish newspaper, not a Dutch newspaper.
And also what it only says is that again alot of Muslims don’t know what there own religion forbids them to do.
Because the hardest punichment someone will recieve from Allah is taking others peoples life. Especially if there are innocent people dying with it. Wich is almost always the case. Certainly when it is not for people to judge how bad other people are. It is only for Allah to judge not for them. I wish people could just first read all the facts
