OSLO (Reuters) - Norway has advised its Middle East embassies to voice regret that an Oslo-based newspaper ran cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad, including one in which he seems to be carrying a bomb in a turban, a draft letter said.

The small Christian newspaper Magazinet ran on Jan. 10 a reprint of 12 portraits of Mohammad from Denmark's largest newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

Some Middle Eastern countries have already criticised Denmark over the cartoons as Islam considers images of prophets disrespectful and caricatures blasphemous.

The ROP copntinues to show its true committment to freedom. For anyhone who hasn't seen the cartoons, here's a link to them, which I post every time there's a post about this, since the ROLP's attempt to suppress them is so completely vile and disgraceful. http://www.newspaperindex.com/blog/wp-images/Mohammed-drawings-newspaper.jpg

So, what's with the Viking blood? Pretty darned diluted these days. Glad we left when we did (1880).

UD ber sine ambassader beklage Mohammed-bildene. Men ikke snakke høyt om det til norsk presse.

The foreign department has askeed their embassies to apologize for the mohammed cartoons, but not to tell the Norwegian press.

The article goes on to see that leading Norwegian politicians have sharply criticized the attitude of the foreign dept. and demanded that the prime minister hold the same stance as the Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

I am sure the Norwegian people will react to this and what the foreign dept. is doing. I lived there for 17 years.

Those cartoons should be printed EVERY DAY in every newspaper in the world.
