PARIS (Reuters) - An international row over newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad gathered pace on Thursday as more European dailies printed controversial Danish caricatures and Muslims increased pressure to stop them.

A dozen Palestinian gunmen surrounded European Union offices in the Gaza Strip demanding an apology for the cartoons, one of which shows Islam's founder wearing a bomb-shaped turban. Muslims consider any images of Mohammad to be blasphemous.
Palestinian gunmen kidnapped and later released a German from a hotel in the West Bank city of Nablus, witnesses said.

FREE SPEECH VERSUS TABOOS IN ISLAM?
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the issue had gone beyond a row between Copenhagen and the Muslim world and now centered on Western free speech versus taboos in Islam, which is now the second religion in many European countries.
"We are talking about an issue with fundamental significance to how democracies work," Rasmussen told the Copenhagen daily Politiken. "One can safely say it is now an even bigger issue."

And again, the majority owner is Egyptian.
Le Monde jumped into the fray with a front page cartoon of its own.
The gu picked to replace the Soir editor quit in protest.
And, btw, our own state department weaseled, while, so far as I know the French governement didn't.
Their changing gears now. Watch what's next with caution..
HOW did he even get those to fit like that?!! F'en islamic IDIOT! Glad he's fighting for them.
"It was a long and very well written assessment which basically said that overall they're worthless."
I have heard several U.S. commanders describe their shooting as "pray and spray". Apparently they close their eyes, pray and shoot all at once. Not exactly effective. Not surprising that the majority of our casualties are from IEDs.
Very ironic. But everything in the radical Muslim line of thought and action strikes me as off kilter.
Maybe Allah doesn't like him any more than we do.
Oh, now that's just wrong...for his sake. Good one..my ribs still hurt.
I saw that too.
Thanks - you can't let these b@st@rds make you stop laughing.
I believe the managing editor is a mooslim.
Something doesn't look right in that photo.
Does he have the ammo belt loaded backwards in the drum magazine?
Disregard my post.
(Other Freepers picked up on it right away.)
Other FReepers have said he does. Read further up in the thread. Much speculation about the latest version of the Islamic suicide machine.
The problem is their religion defines all non-believers as second class citizens or worse..if you try to convince them otherwise, that would mean their religion is not true and therefore you are wrong, no matter what. They will never allow non-muslims to be considered equal, it flies in the face of mohammed and his version of truisms (i.e., lies). Get ready, the world is going to be rockin' for a long time as long as the mohammedans live in the West, they won't let it alone and will continue to fester and be a thorn in our side unless they convert or leave, neither of which they will do. If the West wishes to survive, it will have to force the muslims to leave, wipe them out or we capitulate, those are the only choices, otherwise the West will continue to experience this antagonism. Don't believe me? Ask the Israelis, the Fillipinos, the Indians, etc.
Muslims are going to have to make some changes to their religion or come changes are going to be made for them.
" By the way, is it true that the Godly, Holy Mohammed took a "wife" of nine years old?"
This little tidbit has been circulating around the 'net for a while.
He didn't actually marry the girl when she was 9. He married her when she was 6 years old. He came to collect her when she was 9 and consumate the marriage.
Somehow if you are a muslim, this means it is not childmolestation. If you are intolorant enough to think (and speak)it is so, then you must have your head chopped off.
Its the religion of Peace after all.
Oh, and being dragged off your bike on your way to work and repeatedly stabbed is also appropriate.
Islam is a disease.
