NY Times title for this AP story: "Gunmen Angry at Cartoons Surround Gaza Office"

Perhaps if a few of these men had jobs, they might be focused on a few other things.

Someone please tell me what middle eastern militants are NOT angry at.

[SlowBoat407]

They ought to follow the example this country sets. When an offensive cartoon is published, a bunch of military guys get together and demand that the paper...

Oh, never mind.

Don't let them see the SpikeTV commercial where Moses beheads Mohammed with a stone tablet.

I think this whole islamic 'panties in a twist' is GREAT!

I clearly illustrates the repressive, ass-backwards societies which those islamofacsists embrace.

If they get so worked up over a stupid drawing - how can they expect people/nations discuss important matters with them?

[umgud]

In a statement read by one of the gunmen, the group demanded apologies from the governments of Norway, Denmark, France and Germany and called on Palestinians to boycott the products of these countries.

While they were at it, did they also ask for foreign aid to help their bankrupt gov't?

[garyhope]

I hope this brouhaha is just one more thing that hopefully will start wising up the Euroweenies to the danger in their midst of the insanity of Islam.

The Islamofascists want to kill every single one of us. The Muslims are all stark raving mad.

Where can I see this cartoon?

[SQUID]

Each other?

If I may quote another FReeper:

"This from people who still wipe their butts with their fingers"

[jazusamo]

These hypocrites threatening kidnapping and bodily harm over cartoons printed in another country are the same criminals who claim Islam is a religion of peace and the same nut cases who burn American and Israeli flags in the street while they shout "death to America." They are disgusting.

Don't take their aid $$$ either!

Muck Fohammed

Guaranteed most of these boys who get mad aren't even devout Muslims, they are fair weather believers who only pretend to believe so they can have a purpose in life. I bet most cannot read well enough to read the Koran and most cannot form a lucid sentence to pray their required 5 times a day.

[My2Cents]

The Danish newspapers could have done worse...They could have proclaimed that Islam is a false religion and that the "god" they worship is Satan.

[Camel Joe]

Has france surrendered yet?

[freedomson]

That makes me think that we oughta start calling them what they are:

Satan worshipers

[eureka!]
