They didn't physically describe the socialist woman on the opposing side.

Well, they did say she was a 17 year old red-head. So we know she is a Ginger.

But to continue with a full description, short, fat, smelly, covered in freckels and unattractive would not have made good press.

“We are here to protect our freedom of expression and express our criticism of a lenient government towards Muslim aggression against our freedom of expression,” Danish Front spokesman Julius Boergesoen, a tall, blond Dane, told AFP at the demonstration.

Classic AFP bias. Notice the subtle use of "tall, blond" right there to try and hook the reader on the "Aryan superman" angle. Obviously, according to AFP, Boergesoen is nothing more than a member of the modern-day Sturmabteilung marching against the Jew...uh, Muslim Untermenschen. Never mind the fact that he's not the one burning down Danish embassies and calling for beheadings.

They desribed some other woman as the redhead. Not the spokeswoman for the "Youth wing".

“This affair has gone much too far and it’s clearly the fault of the Danish government,” said Helle Mortensen, a 17-year-old redhead dressed in black. “Freedom of expression does not mean to hurt others,” she told AFP.

See how much freedom of expression you get when you're wrapped in a burkha, little girl.

You need an extremely low IQ to be part of the left that supports islam......Here is a clue they will slit your throats first because of your perceived low moral, yes you are even lower than Christians and Jews on their list who are at least 'people of the book'.

"They didn't physically describe the socialist woman on the opposing side."

Thats because she is short, hairy, and resembles a chimp. Socialists get upset whenever they hear the truth and either (a) they didn't want to hurt her feelings or (b) they were afraid she would firebomb the newspaper offices. ;o)

Some people really deserve to be slaves. It's a shame these things can't be rounded up, shipped off to the worst islamic hellhole on earth, and auctioned off in accordance with sharia law and custom.

Around 100 Danish Muslims had joined the left-wing demonstration “because we want to show the world that Muslims are not terrorists”, Bassen, a 20-year old demonstrator, told AFP.

That won't do it, bub. My suggestion is this: turn in Osama bin Laden, Ayman Zawahiri, al-Zarqawi, and their henchmen, disband al-Qaeda and Hamas, apologize for 911, the London bombings, Madrid, and the Isle of Bali, overthrow the madmen in Tehran, and demand the arrest of the Imams who've declared war over these cartoons. Then you might have something to argue about, at least.

Me too - if there's one thing I would have bet on it was that Euro lefties were all anti-religion and would see this as a Free Speech issue.

The most amazing idea is that the freedom of expression somehow immunizes the greater public from perceived or real insults. Freedom of expression necessarily implies that others will be "hurt" by one expressing oneself.

The problem, I think, is viewing the Muslim world through the lense of anything post Enlightenment---these people live in the 1200's or earlier.

“Freedom of expression does not mean to hurt others,”

"And only WE get to determine exactly what is hurtful to others."

More like they get to determine exactly which others' hurt is valid. I will bet they do not care about the hurt of Christians, Jews, conservatives, Americans....

But your point is valid. I will never forget that after the WTC atrocity, some young girl from NJ, with a Jewish name, screamed at a pro-Isamist demonstration that the Americans were crying over something of no more significance than a hangnail, compared to the sufferings of the poor Palis.

“Freedom of expression does not mean to hurt others,” she told AFP.

“We say no to the racist and ignorant Danish Front demonstration against Muslims in Denmark and in the world,” Daniel Savi, a local secretary of march organisers SFU, the youth wing of the Socialist People’s party, told AFP.

The twisting and turning of the left as they try to figure this one out has become SO entertaining.

We will be similarly entertained when the greens and the pro-immigration whack-jobs start in.

"This little teenie bopper needs to be in government class instead of showing her ignorance."

Or wearing one of those hideous burkas.
