Do you have any idea why this has suddenly become an issue. Were the cartoons recently re-printed?
Some in the West who are in a position to know are beginning to say this whole thing looks orchrestrated. Kind of strange the large number of Danish flags found on hand for burning in front of the TV cameras.
Something isn't adding up.
It's become an "issue" because they're always looking for an "issue" so they can riot, burn, destroy, hurt, maim, and kill. They come to the West for freedoms they're not allowed in their hell-holes in the middle east, and then they try to turn the West into the same kind of hell-holes they left behind. Throw them all out, build a wall around them, and let them stew in their own juices.
The Islamic Society of Denmark made up a couple more fake cartoons and went on a trip to incite violence throughout the Middle East (in their words: to promote awareness).
They were originally printed a few months ago, and were re-printed in Europe last week.
The cartoons were published 5 months ago!! The controversy has been stirred up by a bunch of western-based mullahs. The whole issue is a gigantic hoax.
Yes, the Muslims finally realized what an ugly MOFO Mohammad really was ;-)

It took them 4 months to get the Danish flags manufactured and distributed. This "outrage" was orchestrated from the get go. Mainly, to divert attention from Syria and Iran.

The complained-of cartoons first appeared in October; they have provoked such fury only now. As reported in this newspaper yesterday, it turns out that a group of Danish imams circulated the images to brethren in Muslim countries. When they did so, they included in their package three other, much more offensive cartoons which had not appeared in Jyllands-Posten but were lumped together so that many thought they had.
