Toon hoax exposed
American blog Neandernews has discoverd the source of one of the three “extra” cartoons distributed by Danish imams in their successful attempt to stir up outrage in the Middle East.
The image on the left was one of the three added by the imams, allegedly showing Mohammed as a pig. It is actually a grainy photocopy of the image on the right, which is a photo of Jacques Barrot, a contestant at the French Pig-Squealing Championships in August 2005.

Abu-Laban claims his material clearly made the distinction between published and not published, but he could not show that distinction to Simon in his own copy of the dossier. Was his intent to stir up passions? “We didn’t give it to the media. Don’t forget this point,” says Abu-Laban. To which Simon replies, “I am the media and I have it.” Posted by Paul in Denmark (February 18, 2006 at 7:33 pm) […]
