Excuse me for being picky, but shouldn't that be HUGH manatee?

Ouch. Yeah it had to be. I just replied to it by the way. Thanks for the link.

I may get flamed for this, but I do understand the Muslims' indignation over their perceived attack on their religious symbols & leaders. I don't like to see religion in general maligned, whether or not it's my own. Usually, that's an atheist's game.

However, I do not have much active sympathy for the Muslims, given their own abysmal human rights record & their own harassment of other religious & ethnic groups (not to mention women). It's the very "freedom of expression" in the West that allows them to spew their own invectives. If the comics must be banned, so too should their mullahs.

“The paper’s act is ridiculous and irresponsible,” added Al-Arabi Kashat, the imam Al-Dawa mosque in Paris.

Well, at least no one died or got physically hurt.

Some Danish companies have been hard-hit by the boycott. Here an Egyptian employee removes Danish products from supermarket shelves.

Soon the only thing on Islamic supermarket shelves will be camel pet food.
