If all civilized countries publish this as Denmark, Norway, and now France did, we will defuse the Islamists.

I think I've seen one of these, the one with the bomb for a turban.

The cartoon struck me as anti-Islamist, not anti-Islam.

OK, does Freedom of Speech allow you to yell "Jihad" in a crowded theater?

Normally I'd say, if it were America, "How can they hate us more? Print 'em!" But in Islamo-France? Land of the Head Scarf? Man, this is gutsy, and doubly so for the French!

Well, it's not like they were shooting back at Germans or anything, but, yes, congrats to the French for an act of courage.

I too am having a hard time believing France published these cartoons---you go girl! Now, if we could only get the New York Slimes and their socialist brethren to follow suit.

Good news, BTW, FRANCE did not publish them. A newspaper in France did. I bet it is privately owned.

This website advocates that we boycott Legos made in Denmark because somehow that Saves the Whales. I couldn't get through all their stupid disclaimers etc to find out why. But they say, "STEP UP THE BOYCOTT AGAINST DENMARK ! DON'T BUY "LEGO" TOYS
FOR YOUR KIDS ! (see: http://www.ecop.info)"

NBC's "Book of Daniel" was pulled after decent people objected to it's content, tuned out, and swayed potential show sponsors. Islamonuts see a few cartoons and launch bomb threats. What a contrast.

I would love to have someone, SOMEONE from the MSM print these cartoons. Show some (courage). If every country would print these cartoons to show that we will not be blackmailed by these thugs, the Islam nuts can't go after all of us. They would go crazy, not that we could tell the difference.

Direct from AP Wire

BERLIN (AP) _ A German newspaper on Wednesday reproduced a controversial drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad, arguing that a ``right to blasphemy'' was anchored in democratic freedoms.

The drawing, which shows the prophet's turban transformed into a bomb, was one of several published in a Danish paper in September, which sparked outrage and boycotts in Islamic countries.

The caricatures offended Muslims both because of their critical content and because Islam forbids representations of Muhammad out of concern they could lead to idolatry.

But the German Welt daily put one of the drawings on its front page on Wednesday, saying the picture was ``harmless'' and regretting that the Danish Jyllands-Posten daily had apologized for causing offense. ``Democracy is the institutionalized form of freedom of expression,'' the paper said in a front-page commentary. ``There is no right to protection from satire in the West; there is a right to blasphemy.''

The French newspaper France-Soir also published the caricatures on Wednesday, saying that religious dogma has no place in a secular society.

"We are up against uncontrollable forces. It will take a huge effort to calm things down," he told Danish media after the offices of the paper which first published the controversial cartoons were evacuated following a bomb scare.

Rasmusen sounds like another knee jerk lib grab a$$. Doesn't he command an armed force? Place them on full alert and issue each man 200 rounds stupid.

These stupid politicians really make me angry. They actually equate the right of this reactionary bigoted minority to destroy their country with their citizens right to National Security.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, had expressed alarm on Tuesday at the wave of anger in the Muslim world prompted by the caricatures.

How I wish the Christian world would react in a similar manner whenever this gang of jackals and hyenas destroys one of our religious sites (church, monastery) in Kosovo or Bosnia.
