I am stunned!! Well done, Europe. Rising, ever so slowly, to the challenge. Amazing.

In some of the pictures, Muhammad was shown to be wearing women's attire

I bet that really got their burnooses in a twist.

Here's a commentary:
Heiliger Zorn (german)

and an other article which shows the printed caricature:
Mohammed-Karikaturen: Dänische Zeitung gibt sich geschlagen (german)

Yet more information is available on Leon de Winter's excellent blog The Free West (english).

Here's an other article in "Der Spiegel" that mentions "FreeRepublic" ;-)

But have you read it? The dumb Spiegel believes posting the pics online could mean "dramatic consequences" for the two German hostages in Iraq! I´d laugh about it if it weren´t to cry. So silly! Would they wear headscarfs if that could save the hostage´s lives?? We cannot and should not change because of criminals! We´re not giving in to bankrobbers, who take hostages - so why should we give in to terrorists? "Don´t bend, don´t break, it´s MY life and it´s now or never, I ain´t gonna live forever", to quote good ole Jon. Each hostage taken has to be considered as lost. If we can get them out with forces, or if the terrorists release them for nothing - fine. But never give them your little finger.

Yes, I did and I agree with you that it deserves a "Barf Alert". I just posted the link because it mentioned FreeRepublic.

It's too bad he lived when he did: he would have fit perfectly in today's submissive, transvestite culture.

Probably could've taught them a few tricks in SF.
