This story hasn't gained much traction over here and its been going on since September or so. The Arab world is having a hissy fit over some cartoons that a Danish news paper published featuring Mohammad. Some countries have threatened to expel Danish diplomats (I think the Saudies did). They are protesting and boycotting Danish goods and services. A few Danes have been beaten up and some stores have been vandalized. The usual Arab street routine, etc, etc.

I've seen the cartoons and they seem pretty mild but to the cartoonist seems like a jerk to me. That being said it's the papers right to publish them if they feel like it. Some Muslim countries are trying to pressure the Prime minister (Rasmussen) into apologizing. He has ignored them and said "he has no control over Denmark’s press “and nor do I want such"

Yup. Its Denmark AND Norway. Same deal for both except the norwegian government has not apologised for something a paper has done.

We have freedom of speach here

Have they not taken a look at what Arabic cartoonists and commentators spew every day?

Talk about a bunch of homicidal, lunatic hypocrites.

Reminds me of a pot and kettle I once knew...

I think they do have more to apologize to us "unbelievers" than the danes to them.

They are burning our flag and threatening to use terror and kill norwegians in muslim countries..

They can threaten all they want. A nation cant apologise for something an individual or a company has done so they wont get it.

LOL
Welcome to our world.

Hope you enjoy the stay these arab muslims tend to hold a grudge for a while.

Hell they've been pissed off at the Jews for almost 2,000 years because they they refused to recognise a kid from a mixed relationship as one of their own.

anyone know were to find the comics?

Did they compare Mohamad to joseph smith or L ron Hubbard? Both more modern con men who started their own religions.

Nothing new here either dreid..

Today 3 people have recieved death threats here because of this. A muslim woman that defends our right for free speach, the editor of the christian paper that printed it, and the the leader of the norwegian press organisation.

A few years back the Norwegian publisher of Satanic Verses or whatever had afew attempts on his life. He went on a tv debate today and defended his actions and also that of this latest thing. He will prolly get another fatwa or whatever they call it.

Takes abit more than this to scare us frozen seal murdering whale killers.

An LA AM Talkshow host is getting similar treatment.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/01/27/ap/national/mainD8FCQ6NG2.shtml

Basically he made a joke about the human traffic jam at the hajj that killed 300+. He said they needed a helicopter traffic guy then did a short skit on Ali in the sky.

This is the second time he's had muslims on his butt. Last March he did this skit:

Quote

With us is that great constitutional scholar -- the Iraqi constitutional scholar -- Muhammad Barak Farud Kaffi: (phonetic spelling) Mr. Muhammad, would share with us some of the provisions in that constitution that very few of us are aware of.

"Muhammad": Yeah, I brought a couple of pages to read to you.

Handel: Okay.

"Muhammad": We, the people of Iraq, in order to form a more perfect union, promote injustice, ensure domestic anarchy, provide for a radical religious fundamentalist theocracy, promote the subjugation of women and secure the blessing of the almighty Allah for ourselves and our prosperity, do ordain and establish this interim constitution of the new Iraq. Sounds very familiar, doesn't it?

Handel : It does. I'm surprised. You took a lot of it from the United States, didn't you, sir?

"Muhammad": Yes, and we will take more of your money.

Handel: Yes, thank you.

"Muhammad": Article One, Section One: All legislative powers are herein granted and shall be vested in Grand Ayatollah Ali Al Sistani, who will personally see to it that personal freedom and civil rights be set back 1,000 years.

Section Two: Death to the Jews, death to the Jews, death to the Jews.

Section Three: The House of Representatives shall be composed of [unintelligible] of American-hating terrorists who shall conduct a war of attrition for one thousand years or until the infidel is eradicated from the planet entirely, whichever comes first.

Section Four: Kill all Jews, death to Israel, kill all Jews.

(pause) Handel: Thank You.

"Muhammad" : Section Five. Handel: Oh, there's more? Go ahead, yes, go ahead.

"Muhammad": Section Five, every martyr in the name of Allah will be given 72 virgins upon entry into heaven. The virgins, however, will not be hairy Iraqi women but lovely Japanese schoolgirls. This will be personally guaranteed in the name of Allah.

Section Six: The Hebrew must die, free Palestine, the Hebrew must die.

Section Seven: All western teachings shall be from this day banned throughout Iraq, especially the infidel custom of bathing on a regular basis.

Section Eight: Death to the Zionist conspiracy, death to the Zionist conspiracy, death to the Zionist conspiracy.

Section Nine: All homosexual marriages are expressly prohibited and are punishable by death; however civil unions between consenting Iraqi adults and loving camels and goats will be recognized.

Section Ten, See Sections Two, Four, Six, and Eight.

(LAUGHTER)

The Danish are probably the most courteous people I've met... Or, 2 of the 3 Danes I've met, the third was a hooligan.

But the Danes I've met are the kindest people on earth (except in AH, I've got shot down by 'em a lot), their comedic abilities have been blown out of proportions in this case - IMhO...
