BAGHDAD - Iraq’s transport ministry said on Sunday it had frozen contracts with Denmark and Norway in protest against blasphemous cartoons published in the countries’ newspapers.
“This decision was taken to protest the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad and we will not accept any reconstruction money from Denmark or Norway,” said a spokesman on behalf of Transport Minister Salam Al Malaki.
The spokesman said he did not know the value of contracts between Iraq and Denmark and Norway. Denmark has more than 500 troops in Iraq.
The uproar over the cartoons, which first appeared in a Danish newspaper and were reprinted in other European countries, has swept across the Muslim world.
What do they import here?
We have pried open the soft underbelly of the beast!
Don't stop now!
DRAW MORE CARTOONS!!!
Then the world will begin to see this trash for the Nazis that they are.
DRAW MORE CARTOONS!!!
ALL ARTISTS TO THEIR PALLETTES!

Danish bloggers are having a field day...
While looking at the mob of angry islamo-facists with behead those that insult Islam signs...
I picture Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz singing, "We represent the lollipop league, the lollipop league, the lollipop league. And in the name of the lollipop league... we wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land."
Try it... it works well.
Just overlay the Jihadists with Munchkins and do the song.
See how it works for you.
Somebody needs to do a cartoon with Mohammed bent over, with his burka hiked up exposing his bare butt, pointing to his butt saying, “I got you're 72 virgins right here.”
And then we need to have T-shirts made with this cartoon.
Food: cheese
Beer: Carlsberg
Misc.: Lego model sets (these are GREAT as gifts for kids)
It is really a bummer to see an Iraqi official joining this ridiculous crap. Damn.
Well, seems to me- that Iraq still does not understand freedom of speech. The Iraqis need to behave like big boys and girls and not let a cartoon make them mad. There are more important things in life than a cartoon.
If they cut off the Danes- the Americans need to cut off their money to the Iraqis.
Thanks. I used to play with Legos as kid.
Thanks. I'll start looking for stuff from Denmark.
Havarti cheese. Get some for the game tonight!
Especially when we consider the fat that 500 Danes are fighting for Iraqi peace right now!!
Militant groups on Sunday called for attacks on Danish troops in Iraq and people from all countries where blasphemous cartoons have been published.
In an Internet statement, the Islamic Army of Iraq, which has claimed responsibility for killing foreign hostages, urged militants to kidnap Danes and “cut them into as many pieces as the number of newspapers that printed the cartoons”.
Yep- that is all we need going on in Iraq right now.

Thanks.
It's a "hands off" subject with us and our Iraqi counterparts right now. We aren't touching that topic with a ten foot pole around them and they seem to feel the same way.
Leos are great!
When I was a kid we didn't have doors on our bedrooms. A field of legos spread on the floor at night would keep my brothers from entering. Those things hurt, big-time, when stepped on.
Yep!!!
Allegra! How are you? It's good to see your post.
Bah, Muslims make me sick.. frig em.
Actually this might be a fairly prudent move. Molify the locals by enacting a fairly innocuous order.
