bizarre...

[ScaniaBoy]

When are these idiots going to understand that it is not islamophobia that's on the rise, it is the islamics who hate Christians and Jews and all Western values.

[ScaniaBoy]

the Conservatives, declaring that they partially agreed with a group of former ambassadors and ministers public criticism of the decision

Yet another country with mostly CINO. Luckily in Denmark there is the Danish People's Party (Det Danske Folkeparti) that keeps the other non-socialists in check. They know that if they are too liberal when it comes to immigration the Danske Folkeparti would grow even larger, and could easily become the largest party in Denmark.

Right on. What a hypocritical SOB this Euro-weenie is. Have you any idea how vile the anti-jewish, anti-western propoganda can be in the Muslim press? Where is this idiots outrage at that?

Oh, I forgot. What is euphemistically called "incitement" against Israel and the Jews in the Muslim world is nothing more than the legitimate outrage of the aggreived muslim victims of western colonialism. My mistake.

'I am a Catholic myself, and if anyone had created a drawing of a holy Christian symbol with a bomb and a message about death, I would personally take it as an insult,' he said.

How many Catholic priests and Reformed pastors gave Sunday sermons last week about how important it was that Jews be destroyed and Israel wiped from the map?

How many caravans were attacked by Jesus and His Apostles?

How many people did Jesus and His Apostles slaughter in the streets of Jerusalem when Jesus returned there in triumph?

Where in the New Testament does it state that Christians are required to engage in holy wars?

[Misterioso]

Denmark has relatively free speech, then.

'I am a Catholic myself, and if anyone had created a drawing of a holy Christian symbol with a bomb and a message about death, I would personally take it as an insult,' he said. as would I, cause that would be slanderous.... but in this case.....

[JCEccles]

It is bizarre.

Does the pictorial representation have to look at least vaguely like a bearded middle eastern male to insult Islam? What are the rules here?

If I draw a stick figure and label it "Muhammad" have I insulted Islam?

If I draw a snake and label it "Muhammad" have I insulted Islam?

If I name a pig "MuHAMmad" and draw a picture of it have I doubly insulted Islam?

[ScaniaBoy]

You got it in one!

:-)


(But it really is tragic that these idiotic hypocrites have any say at all in a post 9/11 world. )

[ScaniaBoy]

I'm sure there is a fatwah headed you way.

(At least for the MuHAMmad - Me, I'm ROFL)

[YOUGOTIT]

Hey EU Islam wants you out of the way! When will you learn that they want to take over and put you in chains or have you convert.

"But it really is tragic that these idiotic hypocrites have any say at all in a post 9/11 world. "

Yep. It is beginning to look a lot like the 1930's to me. Hope the West is up to the challenge once again.

I've Emailed some of the cartoons to 8 Arab Embassies asking for their position but have not had a response yet.

[Publius6961]

Dear Franco Frattini:

You need to get a life.
Being hypersensitive to words or cartoons is such a juvenile reaction that it's embarrassing to see any adult from any country obsessing about it.

The fact that primitive, mass-murdering maggots react violently to it should be enough to give you pause. Instead of supporting such an infantile reaction on a cultural level!

[yankeedame]

The European Commission criticises a daily newspaper's Mohammed cartoons for opening the door to hate and radicalisation

You're kidding! You mean they're actually going after some Muslim group that publish...What?... Oh...Okay...I get it....

[kimosabe31]

'Honestly, these kinds of drawings can add to the growing Islamophobia in Europe,' Frattini said. 'I fully respect the freedom of speech, but, excuse me, one should avoid making any statement like this, which only arouses and incites to the growing radicalisation..."

But excuse me, this a..hole is clueless regarding the 1400 year bloody history of islam. I trust he'll be equally sensitive to muslim feelings as they are sawing his freaking head off. I wonder what impact something like that would have? Suppose al qaeda kidnapped a dozen or so high ranking elitist politically correct european and/or US officials and beheaded them in kind of an al jazeera muslim family special. Would these same he/she's (those that hadn't yet been beheaded) still be demanding that we all mind our manners when speaking about muslims? An interesting question I thought.

What is euphemistically called "incitement" against Israel and the Jews in the Muslim world is nothing more than the legitimate outrage of the aggreived muslim victims of western colonialism. My mistake.

That reminds me. Italy had a long and unflattering presence in Ethiopia and environs. If "reaction" to "colonial" grievances is justified, why isn't Ethiopia aflame with hate against Italy?

Cartoons heck. . . here's a photo of the pedophile prophet:

When are these idiots going to understand that it is not islamophobia that's on the rise, it is the islamics, communists, and perverts, who hate Christians and Jews and individual liberty all Western values.

[joshhiggins]

it is not islamophobia that's on the rise

They are falling all over themselves trying to stop a drawing of Mohammed from being published.

It sure looks like Islamophobia to me.
