More outrage over a stupid cartoon than over rape and terrorism carried out in their name.

You got that right! Funny how thoughts of innocent little children (not to mention adult men and women) getting blown to pieces in some cafe they all run around and shout Allah meathead BS, but over a cartoon you'd think someone had just done to them what they do to the rest of the world.

"I also find myself wondering how the artistic left would react if conservative Christians behaved more like these Muslims."

May we never find out.

Violent responses are effective in quieting unwanted voices among the masses who have no convictions upon which their lives are built, but eternal matters are far more than temporal hardships. Christians serve the God of the Bible, who says that He is the one true God and there is none other.

To claim that Allah is the same God because both Islam and Christianity, as well as Judaism, trace their roots back to Abraham is contradicted by Islamic teachings. To make sense of the Koran and elevate Muhammad as "the greatest prophet" requires contradicting the key teachings of the Bible and the foundations of Christianity.

Therefore, if one believes the Bible to be true, the Koran, Hadith and Islam CAN NOT be true.

Ipso fact, Allah is not God, and if it is anything at all it MUCT be Satan, which makes sense considering the history of destruction and determination to keep the saving truth found in Christianity away from its followers at all costs.

Christians, on the other hand, are called to share the truth in love and without fear of it being held up to the light of comparison.

Islam is eternal darkness. The way it is "defended" in acts such as those described in the article attests to that fact.

Moslems are constantly carping about Christians eating pork.

Danes run one of the world's greatest and most productive pork ranges.

Why is a Moslem even in Denmark ~ didn't they ever stop and think about being surrounded by pigs.

"This will be used by regimes who resent Western pressures to reform to say that the West is waging a war against Muslims and doesn't have their best interests at heart," Sulaiman al-Hattlan, a Dubai-based Saudi writer, told The Associated Press.

At statements like this should be used to show just how deranged Islam causes a mind to become.

I just don't understand the mindset that would have an ambassador recalled because one newspaper, with no connection to the government in power, decides to publish a cartoon you don't like. It makes no sense to me whatsover. I used to volunteer with kindergartners. This sounds like what would happen if you let some of the less mature kids I worked with take charge of a the foreign policy of a nation.

Islamic tradition bars any depiction of the prophet, favorable or otherwise.

In most, if not all, of the West, "Islamic tradition" only governs Islamics. Not Christians, not Jews, not Hindus, and not Buddhists. Speaking of which, where was all this concern for religious traditions of groups other than ones own when the Taliban blew up the ancient Buddha statues? Hmmm? Some folks like images of their "gods" (Although Buddha is not thought of as a God, AFAIK.)

Of course, in Islamic countries, Islamic traditions and "laws" govern all.

I am outraged that Muslims prefer to keep both their horrificly ugly women and their hot young babes draped in the same head scarfs.

It is highly offensive to me that soap is a four-letter word to most middle eastern skunks!!

My favorite cartoon is the one where Muhammad says, "Stop, stop, we ran out of virgins!"to the hoard of suicide bombers walking into heaven.

Don't let this hit a newspaper. They might recall all the ambassadors to the US, and boycott all american products.

These maggots can sure dish it out, but they can't take it.

Muslim men are extremely insecure about their manhood....

generally they are a bunch of cowardly buggerers.

Muslims prefer abortions when the young women are of dating age.

The so-called artistic left are very much like Muslims.

They are intolerant of decency and morality.

They are insecure and filled with hate.

Its way funnier asking for pork in an islamic restaurant in Little Islam. The faces you see on their faces are just priceless especially during Ramadhan where pork is a big no no.

The brave press should defend free speech they so love to exercise in so many noxious ways, by publishing those cartoons about Muhammed in every world newspaper.

They have no tolerance for freedoms and treat women and "infidels" as non humans.

Check out this little ditty.

It's a real hoot. And it's true.

If this has their panties in a bunch, wait until the unveiling of the fabulously enlightened artwork, "Piss Mohammed."

Make sure that you use pig urine for that one, will ya?
