The desecration of Islamic sanctities by a Danish newspaper and the subsequent repetition of this contemptuous act by other European publications reveal that their print media is controlled by the Zionist lobby and those who are hostile toward Islam.
After Denmark published cartoons to insult Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), publications in Norway, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Poland and New Zealand also reprinted the same in defense of the so-called freedom of speech.
They promptly forget the fire and fury their leaders recently unleashed when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad questioned their prejudices regarding the Holocaust of Jews.
Muslim nations must immediately and strongly confront this move. They must confront the instigators of hate, animosity and unrest with vigilance and unity.
The countries that insulted Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) should face the full brunt of Muslim anger so that they apologize and do not dare to repeat such insolent acts. The Muslim world has many tools for punishing their adversaries.
Muslims are the biggest consumer of western products and the largest supplier of fossil fuel.
A ban on the import of western goods will hit them where it hurts most. It will cost them jobs and hamper their economic growth.
Let’s, for instance, consider the volume of Iran’s trade with the European Union, which reached 20 billion euros in 2004. It stood at 13.8 billion euros in 2002. The EU is the largest trade partner of Iran and handles about one-third of Iranian transactions. In other words, some 32 percent of the total Iranian imports and exports are with Europeans.
It is worth mentioning here that the trade balance of other Islamic countries with the EU also follows the same pattern. Hence, boycotting Western goods can be the best move to force the European countries, which insulted Islamic sanctities, to apologize to Muslims and make them prevent the recurrence of such incidents in future.
And, Congress won't approve drilling in Alaska.
I fart in Mohammed's general direction.
Yeah, well, something to remember by. Check out the list of video links regarding Islam, Muslims and terrorists.

IF THEY DON'T IMPORT IT, THEY AIN'T GOT IT. JUST CRAP IN THE SAND.
Exuse my ignorance, but what is PBUH ?
For those who were disheartened to hear the State Department's official position regarding the Islamic cartoon matter, the press has misrepresented their official position (no surprise).
The statement in its entirety can be read here:

Thanks to prairiebreeze for this:
Please take a look at some further analysis about the State Dept statement.
Right Wing Nuthouse calls it more of an example of laziness and poor writing ability on the media's part. For instance he says:
So just where did the State Department get it wrong? They stand up for free speech. They recognize that the cartoons offended Muslims. They tell the idiots in the Middle East to look to their own portrayals of Jews and Christians before going off half cocked about the Mohamed cartoons. And they call upon everyone to settle down.
But all we got from press reports was the fact that the State Department seems to be condemning the Danes and other European publications for running the offending cartoons and an obligatory nod to the First Amendment.
Also on this Little Green Footballs link Charles posts the transcript from the actual briefing of Scott McCormack at State Dept. He gives a MUCH fuller explanation to the State Dept's stance on the situation with Denmark than was initially reported by the press. AND, btw, reported word for word by three different reporters.

Iran is simply begging for it.Keep pushing.Just like Saddam.BTW,while were taking out suspected Iranian nuclear R+D sites,we may as well take out key military sites and the navy:).I've read there is a substantial opposition in Iran,and this could "grease the wheels".Iran is getting stale.
Uh, there are a few slight differences. Ahmadinejad is the president of Iran, not a newspaper editor. And, rather than being humorous or satirical in his comments about Jews and Israel, he was being serious.
