Democratic Oppression

Danish Muslims are demanding a retraction and an apology from a Copenhagen newspaper that printed 12 drawings of the prophet Mohammed, reports DR News, a practice that is forbidden under Islamic law.

Members of the Islamic community say the newspaper, Jyllands Posten, is abusing freedom of speech "to enable a democratic oppression of all Muslims in Denmark."

The editor of the paper says he printed the pictures because the western world has become too scared to discuss Islam openly. He says he has no intention of apologizing.

The Copenhagen Post says that since the drawings were published, the staff at the paper have been receiving death threats and been forced to add additional security at its offices.

Methinks they live in a democratic society and NOT under Islamic law..they should be as tolerant of others as they demand others are tolerant of them..

my personal sentiments are, to paraphrase a famous saying in these parts..."If you don't like Georgia (Denmark), head to the airport because Delta (Scandanavian Airlines) is ready when you are".

Guess what "Danish Muslims"! Ya'll live in a country which is NOT under Shariia law!! Umder DANISH law, it's A-OK to make a drawing of your "prophet". Deal with it or move to a country where Islamic law is practiced.

Huh? What a pile of bs that is!

The editor of the paper says he printed the pictures because the western world has become too scared to discuss Islam openly. He says he has no intention of apologizing.

Good for him. Hope he has a gun...But nonetheless, good for him.

The Copenhagen Post says that since the drawings were published, the staff at the paper have been receiving death threats and been forced to add additional security at its offices.

Gee, why doesn't that surprise me?

And why does Denmark even have a problem like this?
I'm guessing it has to do with politically correct, self hating immigration policies in the past.

I have argued that Islam needs to be reformed (which of course it can't) or outlawed.

But, lately, I am beginning to wonder if the natural brittleness of Islam is going to cause its death by natural causes.

Islam is its own worst enemy. That's a lot to hope for but...

By the way, I am a GA Dawg, also.

Sad to say he doesn't have a gun. When I lived in Denmark these poor liberal's had long since given them up to the government. Even need a hard to get permit for bird hunting. Great Danes?

I notice that the pictures were not shown in this piece. foxnews.com, I guess, is a little more correct than the Danish paper.

Any chance for a picture of Mohammed and a pig in, er, compromosing positions? That might get someone riled...
