Cartoon Anxiety in Tajikistan

Islam does not allow for any depiction of Muhammad or Allah, expecially cartoons.  Deemed an "insult to Islam" drawings poking fun at Islam result in rage, anger and usually a few deaths.  Kurt Westergaard, who published the Danish cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb on his head knows all too well how Islam acts towards any perceived insult to Muhammad, and is living under constant guard because of the threats to his life from the "religion of peace".

Now it appears that drawings of Jesus are an insult to Muslims, and Tajikistan is taking steps to prevent this disrespecting of Muslims and Islam.  No more Jesus pictures, you infidels!

Tajik authorities ban sales of Jesus cartoon
Dushanbe (AsiaNews) – Tajikistan’s Religious Affairs Committee banned the sale of a Jesus Christ cartoon in Khorog, the administrative centre of the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region, the BBC Persian service reported.

Claiming that the cartoon advocated a foreign religion, the Committee seized 20 copies of the cartoon from sellers. It later confirmed to Interfax that it had seized religious discs in Khorog but did not comment the matter.

All religions are equal in Islam, we are told by Islamic leaders.  Some are less equal than others.
