Here's hoping that the Danes and the Norwegians will learn to embrace their "inner Vikings".

More incitement:

JEDDAH,Arab News: An influential imam of the Grand Mosque in Makkah proclaimed a new spirit of defiance among Muslims after worldwide protests over cartoons denigrating the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in European newspapers.

“A great new spirit is flowing through the body of the Islamic Ummah... The world can no longer ignore this Ummah and its feelings,” Saleh Bin-Humaid said while delivering his Friday sermon.

“The nation has worked hard in support of its Prophet Muhammad in recent days. It is the right of every Muslim to show joy at this defense of our beloved Prophet,” he told hundreds of thousands of faithful who packed the Grand Mosque.

Bin-Humaid commended the leading role played by Saudi Arabia in campaigns protesting the provocative cartoons. The Kingdom withdrew its ambassador to Denmark, saying the government had not done enough to assuage anger over the cartoons published last September in the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.

Egyptian cleric Youssef Al-Qaradawi, told worshippers in Qatar: “The whole nation must be angry and rise up to show their anger... Anger is a must, we are not a nation of donkeys. We are a nation of lions.”

Fire bombing the home of Linus Torvolds will not win them any friends on the internet.

I believe the French still fly the F8.

Those F8s are "Foched", aren't they?

[ChadGore]

blah blah blah . . . so much blather.

*Nothing* justifies the simultaneous fire bombing of Norwegian, Swedish, Denmark, and Chilean embassies in your country.

Bad move, Syria.

[RightWhale]

Not yet; if our leaders can continue to perform political miracles, maybe never. Keep your powder dry.

[El Gato]

Fire bombing the building that contains the embassies of Sweeden, Denmark, and Chile is a terroist act.

In a country run like Syria, it's an act of war.

[El Gato]

Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Chile to join the coalition of the willing?

Denmark was already a member with troops on the ground in Iraq. Norway I'm not sure about. Chile? fuggit about it. Sweden is usually neutral and probably will deem this collateral damage from an attack on the Danish embassy. But then again you never know, and you don't want to be around a PO'd square head.

[ChadGore]

This is wild!

the body of the Islamic Ummah.

That's beginning to have a real nice ring to it.

[AndyJackson]

I had one, but the homeowners association made me get rid of it.

If you had one of those you would find your HOA being suddenly very polite and compliant.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

I guess I'm not seeing it. Please tell me what you see?

A blue television camera.

[El Gato]

we are not a nation of donkeys. We are a nation of lions.”

You look and act more like donkeys, but either comparison is really a severe insult .... to donkeys and/or lions.

[ChadGore]

I think it's very important for the State department to refer to this as a simultaneous fire bombing on long standing neutral countries.

Sweden?

Norway?

Capt Annemette Hommel and the others were convicted of verbal humiliation and forcing prisoners to maintain painful postures during interrogation.

Now every miliatry recruit in the free world can take his DI to trial before the World Court.
