It appears that the Muslims understand the importance of taking the offense in a compromise world.

They have taken a significant step in seizing political power this weekend.

The norwegian govt too is leftist and surrendered rather early unlike the courageous Danish one.

Yup, and it kept their embassy from being burned.

Eh? What? It was???

*nevermind*

[purpleland]

Socialist feminist leaders, like NZPM Helen Clark, like France's Vichy presidentress Chirac, give in to Muslim extortions. Americans has better be very informed and very scrutinizing of politicians up for re-election or election in 2006. It is TIME for American citizens to let politicians know that the U.S. government is for, by and of the People. Not of, for and by special interests, abortion and homosexual rights. I am too angry...

I guess "kiwi sh*t" means the same as "chicken sh*t."

Michelle Malkin has posted the 12 cartoons on her website.

[goodnesswins]

HA....if enough nations publish....guess that would make a reverse "boycott."

[Uriah_lost]

I think we should pursue this for real...

[sageb1]

"Wow! Whoda thunk Muslims lived in New Zealand."

Deliberate positioning.

[Little Bill]

Mr.(Note the correct title) Clark would pander to a frog if it kept him in power,

[sageb1]

Cheer up. At least Betty Friedan has left the room.

[purpleland]

"Cheer up. At least Betty Friedan has left the room."

I know so little about Friedan and other notable feminists...even though I am an independently liberated female who never burned a bra, never took drugs nor worshiped at the abortion altar - never in synck with groupthink. I am an old fashioned "feminist". Just cannot stand effete & feminist career politicians!

Pitiful deary, prepare to have your Kiwi peeled..

Thank yew...

No freedom of the press for New Zealand! DUers take note: perfect retirement home after you lose the 2008 election.

[NZerFromHK]

To the DUers: you will be welcome here with open arms. But first, here are a few questions the New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS) are interested:

1) Did you graduate high school English, and get 650 out of 800 for SAT Writing? Or alternatively, getting a B+ or better in college freshman English?

2) Do you understand and enjoy watching rugby?

3) Are you willing to abandon hamburger and Budweiser, and drink Steinlagar, eat fish and chips and meat pies?

4) Are you aware of the distinctiveness of British culture from the generic Western culture which forms Americans' perception of the Western heritage?

5) Are you willing to accept that based on ancient Anglo-French rivalry, that we have nothing to learn from the French, including its cuisines?

6) Do you accept Maori as a cultural foundation for New Zealand?

7) Do you accept that New Zealand cannot be multicultural nor exclusively British monocultural, but is bicultural with two foundational peoples (British and Maori)?

8) Do you accept free trade and pacifism at the same time?

9) Do you accept all illegal immigrants identified must be repatriated?

10) Are you capable of speaking English without the American twangs?

Unfortunately, she is a paragon of free speech compared to Pope Benedict who completely and shamelessly sold out.

[binkdeville]

Cutting peoples friggin heads off with dull knives doesn't bring communities together either.

[cyborg]
