'This is not just about cartoons, but standing up for our values'

TIMES ONLINE ^ | 01/31/06 | Anthony Browne

[Meadow Muffin]

The Muslims MUST be slapped down. The last time they tried this garbage was in the 1300 - 1400 time frame and the Crusades took no prisoners. Evidently the Muslims do not want any other person or nation to say anything against them..it may be time for another crusade or we will all pay a dear price.

[the final gentleman]

Why are the cartoons not available here on Free Republic?

Or has everyone seen them but me?

[msnimje]

And standing up to the bullies!

[minus_273]

For those interested, lgf is really covering this and spearheading an effort to buy danish

[JOHANNES801]

Good idea,I have always supported teir women now I will try to do the same for the country,.

Every major paper in the West prints these drawings on their editorial page in unison in defense of free speech. Why doesn't Anthony Browne tell us what the Times intends to do about it?

[JakeSladder]

Yes, but Islam is a peaceful religion...

(sarc/off)

[snarks_when_bored]

The Jyllands-Posten newspaper should allow other newspapers to reprint the cartoons without copyright restrictions. Then other major newspapers in Denmark and in other countries should reprint the cartoons as an expression of solidarity with the Jyllands-Posten newspaper and of freedom of speech.

Let muslims howl at their crescent moon as they try to extinguish free expression in a thousand newspapers rather than just one.

I bought a Danish this morning. Cheese, I think.

But seriously, the mooslims have been getting pretty brazen since 9-11. Trash-talking other beliefs, demanding islam be only praised, never critized.

It's time to take a stand. You're either with US! Or you're one of THEM.

[Max in Utah]

Saudi Arabia and Libya have withdrawn their ambassadors to Denmark...

Over some cartoons! Unbelievable. How many more muslim immigrants do you think Europe will accept until they finally realize that Mad Mo's minions are incompatible with modern civilization?

[samadams2000]

And to think some people look down on the Crusades...??

[ApplegateRanch]

As protests continued for a second day in Gaza with shouts of “Death to Denmark”

DEATH TO ISLAMOFASCISTS!

[Alouette]

And, not from the Danish media, but let's not leave out:

[DelphiUser]

>>Good idea,I have always supported their women now I will try to do the same for the country,.

I support their pasties ;-)

[DelphiUser]

pasties = pastries @#$%#$% Spell check, wheres the proof read button!

As protests continued for a second day in Gaza with shouts of “Death to Denmark

If an unemployable turdkicker shouts in Gaza, does anybody care? Or hear?

I know,I know, only when aided and abetted by the antique media.

[The Fop]

Let's not forget that in 2002, during the height of the Palestinian uprising, an Italian cartoonist won some sort of award for the best political cartoon for a cartoon that appeared on the front page of an Italian newspaper (La Stampa) that showed an Israeli tank heading towards the baby Jesus, and the baby Jesus says "surely, you're not going to kill me again".

I would think that all people who laughed at and applauded this cartoon, which was offensive to Jews and many Christians, are showing their solidarity with this Danish cartoonist. Or are they all in hiding, quaking in their boots over the threat of Muslim boycotts and death threats.

Riots in Paris, bombs in London, a Dutch filmaker murdered, and now this. The bible says "G-d curses those who curse the Jews". Expulsions, ghettoes, the Holocaust, unabashed support for Palestinian terrorists.... Europe has a long history of cursing the Jews. I can't help thinking that their current "Muslim problem" is their punishment.

Well don't expect a second Richard the Lionheart to set forth from Britain, they are too busy passing legislation to muzzle any criticism of Islam as "hate speech" as we speak.
