A few examples without linking to them coz I don't feel like getting a hidden post would be the one who within a day or so of the Charlie Hedbo massacre had their routine of outright saying that most Muslims are extremists cut short by a 5th hidden post and a well deserved timeout. There's been a few I've seen where when someone points out that most Muslims aren't extremists they arrive in a thread with links to RW crap like religionofpeace.com along with supposed 'facts' on how most Muslims do support extreme things. Or the one we both saw yesterday where someone said in response to the anti-Muslim rallies in Germany that Muslims reap what they sow. While it's in no way more than a small but vocal number of DUers, they're long-term ones and pretty easily distinguishable from others who genuinely don't like religion but sometimes express themselves a bit poorly.

Thank you for the cartoons. "All is forgiven" The Western press is going to be in even more Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #6

Do you think the "All is Forgiven" cover is provocative towards Muslims? oberliner Jan 2015 #7

Since "All is Forgiven" is the headline I think there are two similar messages in the cartoon. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #11

When you qualify that they didn't deserve to die with a, "but" Desert805 Jan 2015 #17

I agree with what you are saying here oberliner Jan 2015 #19

To my ears (eyes), it's implying they didn't deserve to die, except for this one reason a little bit Desert805 Jan 2015 #20

Great cartoons. cwydro Jan 2015 #13

I did. Thanks. 840high Jan 2015 #33

I went to the link. There's no attribution on any of the cartoons, but one is definitely not from ND-Dem Jan 2015 #36

They are all Cabu's cartoons oberliner Jan 2015 #43

yes. my point was that the op presents these cartoons as though representative ND-Dem Jan 2015 #48

That said, they are really interesting cartoons oberliner Jan 2015 #49

i don't disagree. but throughout the thread there are posters using these cartoons for a ND-Dem Jan 2015 #51
