COPENHAGEN, DENMARK - Sparked by the publication of a satirical cartoon in a Danish newspaper depicting the prophet Mohammed as a terrorist, unprecedented rioting throughout the Islamic world has intensified to a dangerous point.
Thousands of Syrians took to the streets and torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus, and in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians stormed European buildings burning German and Danish flags, all a result of the Muslim anger to these cartoons.
Rioters across the Muslim world have been heard shouting, "With our blood and our souls we defend Mohammed, prophet of Allah." Many also carrying banners with the words, "There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah."
Iran's largest selling newspaper has chosen to tackle the West ideals of freedom of expression by launching a competition to find the twelve best cartoons about the Holocaust. The graphics editor of the Iranian newspaper said that the deliberately inflammatory contest would test out how committed Europeans were to the concept of freedom of expression, adding that the West had published these sacrilegious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression.
This Teheran newspaper publication of cartoons defaming Judaism and the Holocaust will not be the first such cartoons published throughout the Muslim world. Judaism and the Holocaust have been the target of many slanderous cartoons, articles, and editorials in the Islamic media across the world for many years.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
A firestorm across the Islamic world because of what they call blasphemy against Allah and his prophet Mohammed is a taste of things to come according to Bible prophecy. There is a mixed emotion among many media people as to whether they have the freedom of the press to publish a satirical cartoon with a derogatory image of the Muslim prophet Mohammed.
These publications have sparked the firestorm now raging across the Islamic world. The potential for this rioting by the Muslim worshippers to intensify seems to be coming to a head, even as the world media is rushing to apologize to the Islamic world. As is the case on all the reports on this newsletter, this story has a prophetic significance.
Bible prophecy speaks of a time yet future when those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be made fun of and Jesus Himself will be blasphemed even as the world is being judged, Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 16:8-11. The prophet Daniel predicts the Abomination of Desolation when Satan's agent, the Antichrist, claims to be God, Daniel 9:27, Second Thessalonians 2:4, and Matthew 24:15.
The Islamic world in a rage because of what they call blasphemy against Allah and Mohammed is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
