Shame on you, New Zealand!

[SandRat]

Helen Clark --- You're No Margret Thatcher! The best I can say is that you Dishonor all of the fallen KIWI warriors from past wars by being a weak - sister Socialist.

[BW2221]

Helen Clark is a wuss.

[wildcatf4f3]

"doesn't do much for bringging communities together"

PUKE

"The Iranian president has warned of a review and cancellation of economic contracts with countries where the cartoons have been published.

"For New Zealand it could mean the death of a $100 million dollar trade, which includes dairy, wool, meat, and manufacturing."

[ncountylee]

Old red Helen should keep her pie hole shut.

[facedown]

She's Labour. What do you expect?

[Tzimisce]

Yeah, you're right - it's not a freedom of press/speech issue.

This is about controlling what people say, think and talk. There's a BIG difference between not being allowed to run these cartoons and free speech.

And since brown skinned people of the world are mad (instead of white guys), this is a tolerance/racism issue...

[null and void]

Hey Shaggy! Beautify the world, send Helen a Burqa...

[KJC1]

I think we should see an actual transcript. Anyone have it?

After the hoopla about what the State Dept ACTUALLY said versus what the media reported, I think it's only fair that we hit the NZ PM on what she actually said, if appropriate.

I guess I'll search for one in the meantime. If she did say what the article represented it is DISGUSTING. Giving in to extortion.

[Cowboy Bob]

Whenever the going gets tough, the Liberals surrender. We all saw that during the Alito confirmation process. I wish the Republicans would finally realize this.

[YOUGOTIT]

If this is not a freedom issue and we surrender on this issue what do we surrender next. What is the next thing that Islam thinks the west does that their religion forbids? Uncovered women. So ladies if we surrender on this issue get ready with your berkas or some other covering because that will be next. Islam hates western women and their freedom.

[helives]

"She says she respects the newspapers' freedom to print the cartoons, and now people have to respect the right of Muslims to be upset about it".........

upset??......... are you kidding?

and why is it I dont hear the "western" muslims denoucing the rioting, kids carry signs saying "behead those who insult Islam" and babies with "I luv Al-Qaeda" hats on, who are our friends and a peacefull loving people, you know, the ones who live in the west

If I moved to a country and didnt like it I would move...
Why is it that muslims move to western countries and then try to get us to change our christian heritige and continually complain about our land and custom but they dont go back to the wonderful Islamic state they left behind

bottom line a muslim is a muslim and are like oil in water in a christian land.........multiculturalism BAA HUMBUG!!

Praise be to Jesus

[SeaBiscuit]

Surrender Monkey!

[VeniVidiVici]

Wow! Whoda thunk Muslims lived in New Zealand.

[snarks_when_bored]

She says the cartoons have stirred racist feelings.

Ms Rahman is mistaken in two ways. In the first place, muslims aren't a race. In the second place, the reactions of muslims to the cartoons are the source of the trouble. If muslims had simply ignored them, the cartoons would've soon been forgotten (after all, they were first published last September). Moreover, in some quarters, muslims would've received praise for their restraint (it's a measure of where we are today that if people who are usually quick to anger somehow manage not to get angry, many rush to praise them for their restraint).

[School of Rational Thought]

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.

[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...

[pabianice]

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

[NWO Slave]

Michelle Malkin has posted the 12 cartoons on her website.

Pitiful deary, prepare to have your Kiwi peeled..
