Maybe somene can dig up a pic of the "Piss Christ"

"The press is free in Denmark, nobody may interfere. If there has been an insulting publication, then the issue must be dealt by the courts,"

So Denmark does NOT have freedom of speech. Any offensive comment can get you before a judge.

Hey, at least they aren't killing each other and rioting this time. Thats an improvement.

[Murtyo]

in free societies slander and libel are against the law. that, i'm sure is what the PM was refering to.

[kublia khan]

"found outrageous by the world;"

Really? first I heard about it, and for the record I'm not outraged.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

An investigation by the United Nations followed.

I was worried that this horrid problem of insulting Muslims would not be rectified but now I see that the United Nations is involved and I feel confident that there will be JUSTICE.

Justice for Muslims that is.

[Abathar]

Its all euro gobbledygook for "Don't poke the bear, DON'T POKE THE BEAR!!!"

I have heard that based on current birth rates and immigration that Denmark will be an Islamic Republic by 2040 with France soon to follow.

I would guess that many see the trend and are already gravitating to the new power elite.

Is it against the law to slander someone who's been dead for 800 years? If that's the PM is concerned about, Denmark is full of nuts.

[RebelBanker]

Actually, I happen to think this series is pretty funny. I guess I am lucky I am not in Denmark...

[dhs12345]

Sounds like a race between the Muslims becoming mainstream and "civilized" before they gain critical mass.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

Is it against the law to slander someone who's been dead for 800 years?

The problem is that there can be no image of Mohammed drawn. So I think under Sharia Law this is a death offense.

[Texas WOP]

Denmarkistan and Frankistan. Did it to themselves....

[BeAllYouCanBe]

Denmarkistan

Hey, can cammels live that far north?

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

"Danish Ambassadors Warn Rasmussen: Insult to Religion not Freedom"

I suppose they mean any religion other than Christianity.

[Texas WOP]

Would you like one hump or two with your cammel Sir?

[tarator]

The problem is that there can be no image of Mohammed drawn.

Islam forbids drawing an image of any living thing. The civilized world has been ignoring that for centuries.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

any religion other than Christianity

Well; Western Civilization, Democratic Governments, Danish Culture, Independent Thinking to name some of the evils that are open to criticism. Any medival 12th century backward societies are of course off limits.
