Scotsman ^

Posted on 01/27/2006 12:09:24 PM PST by LibWhacker

SAUDI Arabia has recalled its ambassador to Denmark, saying the government had not taken enough action over newspaper cartoons seen as mocking Islam and Mohammad.

"[We] recalled the ambassador in light of the Danish government's lack of attention to insulting the Prophet Mohammad by its newspapers," a government official said.

Headline I'd like to see:

"Denmark recalls ambassador from Saudi Arabia due to the prohibition of the Christian and Jewish faiths in that country."

(I'm not holding my breath)

If the Saudis don't like an open Western democracy, then Denmark ought to treat Muslims exactly the way Saudi Arabia treats Christians. Fair is fair.

This whole cartoon saga is just sick.... Denmark must not back down.

Norway is also involved now after a couple of our newspapers reprinted the Danish cartoons....

The Norwegian foreing department has sent a letter to Norwegian embassies in the arab world telling them to condemn the cartoons...

Just nausaeting....

Cheers.

Well, give credit to some of our newspapers who dared to publish the cartoons. I have yet to see them in the American media...

That said, what can you expect from our current socialist government....

Here's to 2009 and a regime change in Oslo. And seriously, I think we might be in for a real change then.

Cheers.

The Danes ought to give the Saudi ambassador a clear message to take back home to the muslim princes of hypocrisy:

"Bite me!"
