Here's a video clip of an extraordinary exchange between one of CNN International's anchors and the Muslim Council of Britain, Abdurahmen Jafar. Skirting around the fact that there has been an "extreme" and "violent" response is naive.
Anchor: It seems that has taken on a life of it's own. I mean you see in some Palestinian territories, for instance, in Gaza, where Europeans are being told to stay indoors, that they're at risk. And it's kind of taken on this dimension, that seems, from the outside, violent.
Instead of a thoughtful response, Jafar says the publication of the cartoons is equal to this extremism, and then compares the cartoons' publication to Hitler's depictions of the Jews in pre-war Germany.
Jafar: It's very sorry and it's very sad that I think extremists on both sides. Muslims are extremely angry, and Europeans are using this to ferment. Both sides we have people. There is no monopoly over evil or hatred. I think this is a very sad time. You would see cartoons exactly like this just before Nazi Hitler arrived, when they depicted Jews and when they depicted rabbis in horendous caricatures.

Who cares what he says. The Danes aren't cutting anyone's heads off.
You mean the same way they depict Jews today throughout the Muslim world? Hypocrite.
This is typical of these people. They are very good at creating the conditions and shifting the blame. Most are like a cancer in the body as they are to the world.
The world better wake up to the fact that there is only one world view for these fanatics.
THere are plenty of examples of cartoons ridiculing Chridstians, Jews, minoroties, etc.
However, the only people who allow CARTOONS to lead to rioting and death are mooslims.
ISLAM = INTOLERANCE
Wow! I'm not up yet.
I know. (The spell-checker is my friend)
We've got to start playing hardball with these creeps. The US government is considering giving Hamas money, as long as they don't allow Iranian money. Your Federal government at work.
These folks do this ALL THE TIME: create the problem and then blame anyone who isn't "muslim" for the problem.
Muslims are the only people rioting, burning, raping, blowing up people and themselves, flying planes into buildings, ranting and raving at everyone else. I just read that there are STILL burning cars in France and that they are STILL being burned by muslims who are 'angry' and such (aren't they always?).
What has islam done that does not involve force and threat?
I'm also curious as to when muslims are going to start acknowledging that muhammad had sexual relationship with a nine year old CHILD, among other acts of defilement and corruption.
Muhammad was almost certainly a paranoid schizophrenic. He was not a holy man.
And, Mohammud's words are not those of God's.
Name it for what it is.
When brains are soaked in ideology, (whatever the ideology) said brains become incapable of rational thought.
DISCUSSION ABOUT:
"Danish Cartoons (Are) Like Nazi Depictions" per British Muslim Council (with video link)
This issue is congealing to an "Islam versus the World of Infidels" one and here we see and hear more of the nonsense being spoken just yesterday in the U.K. as "reprimand" to everyone else for "insulting Muslims".

"Muslims are extremely angry"
And what are they angry about. When they kill Christians and Jews and any others the left gives them a pass so why are they angry at the truth??????????
We have found the enemy's soft underbelly!
DRAW MORE CARTOONS!
Frankly, I'm not dismayed by the fact that the cartoonists take a dim view of Mohamed.
B I N G O !
Hmmmm.... I don't remember the German Jews hijacking airplanes and running them into tall buildings. I don't remember German Jews blowing themselves up in crowded restaurants.
