There are more effective ways of resolving things with Moslams than “peaceful dialogue.” Your ancestors knwe how, look deep inside yourselves...
...And no one in Syria has a Capital One card either!

COPENHAGEN: Denmark and Norway said yesterday that their nationals had begun to leave Syria after protesters torched the buildings housing their embassies there in events the Danish foreign minister said were “beyond comprehension”.
Danes were also told to leave Lebanon and Norwegians there were advised to remain indoors, after protesters in Beirut attacked the Danish consulate in protest against the publication of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) cartoons in both countries.
“I am horrified to see the way violence and attacks are spreading throughout the Middle East,” Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller told reporters yesterday. “The actions in Lebanon and Syria yesterday are beyond comprehension and totally unacceptable,” he said.
Some of the 70 Danes living in Syria left the country late on Saturday and others departed yesterday, foreign ministry spokesman Lars Thuesen said. Those who had not yet left were advised to stay indoors “until we have found a way to get them out of there”, he said. The Danish government is not currently providing transport for those wanting to leave but has offered assistance, he said.
Thuesen said some Danes were reluctant to leave Syria as the situation appeared to calm down somewhat yesterday. But the foreign ministry insisted: “The situation is still critical for Danes there. Those who opt to stay must be very careful”.
“We have been working all night to contact our people and get them out (of Syria),” Norwegian foreign ministry spokesman Oeystein Boe said. Of the up to 90 Norwegian nationals in Syria, 12 left Damascus for Oslo via Vienna, while 26 Norwegian families opted to stay in Syria for now.
Norwegian embassy staff, including the ambassador, were operating from a hotel in the Syrian capital under police protection. Following the violent protest in Syria and further attacks in Lebanon, where the Danish embassy was set ablaze, Norway told all its embassies in Muslim countries to tighten security.
“We have sent out a precaution order to embassies in the Middle East and other countries with a large Muslim population to review their security contingency plans, to get in touch with the authorities and ask for extended security,” Boe said.
Norway also told its nationals living in Lebanon to remain indoors but has not, as yet, advised them to leave the country. Denmark’s Stig Moeller said he was worried about the proportions the protests had taken. “It is now a case that is much bigger than the issues of the drawings. Forces outside the political systems are now setting the agenda,” he said.
Stig Moeller said he had asked the Syrian and Lebanese governments to investigate the events, which he said went beyond damaging the relationship between those governments and Denmark. “It’s damaging the whole diplomatic system if countries cannot be sure that their embassies are safe,” he said.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Danes gathered in Copenhagen yesterday to appeal for “peaceful dialogue” to resolve the row. Local artists, couples and families assembled on the capital’s main square in a demonstration that organisers said was “apolitical and independent of different religious beliefs and cultures”.
Separating wheat from chaff?
The only thing that will save the Danes, and Europe as a whole, is if the islamonazis continue to protest violently. Had they waited 5 years, all of Europe would have been theirs.
The cartoons were the excuse these Muslims were waiting for. Prayers these folks get out safely.
How dare the Danish publish cartoons suggesting Islam is violent religion.
Good, now can we get the muslims to leave Denmark and Norway? And the US, Australia, and England for thet matter?
Oh shucks.
But where can we put them? :)
Looks like reality hasn't mugged quite everyone yet . . .
Another silver lining is- once all the foreigners are out we can bomb the hell out of them.
That island where they film "LOST" might be one place.
...And no one in Syria has a Capital One card either!
They did the same thing here on 9-11 by tipping their hand and misunderestimating George Bush.
We were clueless as to what was going on . The Muslims had all the time and money they wanted to set up cells and get prepared to give us a real pasting but they went about 5 years too early. - tom
If they are truly wise the Danes will force them out.
It will cleanse the country and lower taxes.
ROTFLOL!!! That's GOOD! Silly me, I was just going to say, "Where they came from". As in any middle Eastern country. I like your idea better.
I have not yet found a "Bombhead Mohammed" t-shirt, but I want one. Meantime, I content myself by taping a Danish flag on my rear window. Perhaps this month instead of writing a check, I will buy $50 worth of Leggos for a kid. Never knew Leggos were Danish until this blew up.
Religion of peace my *ss, "By their works shall ye know them".
But where can we put them?
