COPENHAGEN — A Danish press freedom group said today it is selling copies of a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad that caused outrage across the Muslim World.

Some 1,000 printed reproductions of a drawing depicting the prophet wearing a bomb-shaped turban are being sold for 1,400 kroner ($250) each, said Lars Hedegaard, chairman of the Danish Free Press Society.

It's rather depressing that Scandinavian liberals are willing to defy barbarians while some FReepers take up the cry of appeasement toward them....

What’s your opinion, is gaijin an “offensive” word or not? I think for it to be offensive people have to be offended. I don’t give a throw, so...

Naw...never really offended me, but then I’d be last to sign up for the Grievance Elite list, ya know? Some gaijin make a biiiig deal about abhoring that word, but...they’re all into that MultiCulti stuff and I never was.

I just took the word up and would use it quite freely, even as a gaijin.

I learned that old story about how the British taunted the colonists with Yankee Doodle —how they themselves took up the term, and sang it right back at the British, and that’s what I did.

Sometimes the term is used derisively, but...I just couldn’t care much.

There are some aspects of Japan that make me proud to be a gaijin, actually...

I have never actually seen the cartoon. Does anyone have a link to a pic of it or can they post it?
