Muhammed with a bomb in his turban

Seems a Danish newspaper published a dozen drawings of Muhammad in various more or less comic poses some time ago. Now all hell is braking loose in the Islamic society. According to Muslims its regarded gross blasphemy depicting Muhammad. Or God for that matter.

Now they are burning Danish flags all over the Arabic world. Boycotting Danish products and companies. Making all kind of threats. Not only against Denmark, but also Sweden and Norway. Apparently they donīt make any difference between the countries (or donīt know the difference ?).

The Danish government have made an official excuse but argue they were in their good right publishing the drawings due to the right of free speech in the Western society.

The Muslims claims blasphemy and capital punishment.

Its a crazy world, all right...

What about Holland and the Netherlands? Are they pissed off at the Dutch too?

I'd tell 'em "tough ****, we have free speech here, don't like it? Go home."

Too many people/countries/societies are trying too hard not to offend Muslims... I fear it will keep THEM from adapting to OUR societies.

All you blond white guys look the same anyhow.

All your flags look the same too!

Would Muhammad even wear a turban? I thought that was only Seihks (sp) from India.


(I spent some time in Scandinavia in June 03. Nice place. I hope to get back some day.)

Markus;

Don't take this wrong. I am sorta relieved that someone else is under the gun now. We have been the Muslim whipping post for so long, maybe there truly is enough love to go around.

Marcus,

I have family all over Denmark and have been watching this while I am in Europe on business. If the Danes give in to this it will be just like the Spanish after the bombing, where the terrorists feel that they can dictate to everyone they wish.

Agree with Michael. Its time to stand tough and tell them to piss off. They feel that its ok to draw cartoons of anyone in America all they want but when someone goes after their world they get childish.

It's ok to burn American flags in the interest of free speech, but mock Muhammed?! DEATH TO THE INFIDELS! The ones making noise hate us all anyway, so who give a $hit?
