US sides with Muslims in cartoon dispute
Yahoo! News ^ | 02/03/06 | Yahoo! News

Posted on 02/03/2006 9:04:55 AM PST by thesharkboy

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington on Friday condemned caricatures in European newspapers of Islam's Prophet Mohammad, siding with Muslims who are outraged that the publications put press freedom over respect for religion.

"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.

"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable."

See post 258.

It's worth noting that we went from "Death to the Jews", which didn't get much attention, to "Death to America", which got some attention in America, sympathy in Europe, "Death to the Danes, Norwegians, French, Germans, et al"

"Liberating Iraq is not worth the cost, if the price to be payed, is the loss of our own liberty.

IMHO."

Then you understand nothing, no one is losing liberty except those that choose to appease rather than standing and fighting. You, IMHO do not understand Americans or America either, when the chips are down, we will stand for liberty wherever a seed of it can grow. There are still enough of us left, thank God, to advance the cause of liberty.

you're a doll! thank you, thank you.

ah but alas, I can never run for president because I was not born here, though I was adopted by a U.S. military family stationed in Germany when I was but a wee thing of 6 weeks old. I am a naturalized citizen, not US born. But my blood is true, blue-blooded American. My dad served this country for almost 30 years before he died shortly after coming home from 'Nam. He went thru WWII, Korea and 'Nam twice and he'd be crapping in his grave if he could see what has become of this great country that he fought so hard for.

Argghhhh

I knew a public school somewhere was teaching Islam, probably along with copies of the Koran.

But that same teacher brings a Bible to class and all "hell" breaks loose.

Oh, "State Department". That explains it.

While I am normally a big fan of privitization, and fear expanded government control, it would not bother me if some day the United States Government nationalized the State Department and made it a part of the Government, and ran it in such a way that it served the people of the United States.

ok... it's time to clean house at the state department.

i'd say fire 90% of the people there and start over.

Tell me that I just didn't read that! O.K., it's now official that the State Department has officially gone over to the side of the Islamofascists. Condi really is a big letdown!

When will we all see a retraction stating that our Department of State erred in its interpretation of free speech? What time is Dr, Rice's news conference regarding this?
