From Slate and the Blogosphere:

Picturing Mohammed
By Bidisha Banerjee
Posted Monday, Feb. 6, 2006, at 7:29 PM ET

***********************AN EXCERPT ****************************

Global Voices' roundup and translations of Arab bloggers' reaction reflect the divisions within the Muslim world. Saudi Arabian Raed Al Saeed's excoriates the rioters: "Shame on you. You turned the efforts of millions from a peaceful actions like the boycotting to this barbarism, to turn the Muslims from peaceful protestors to ignorant barbarians who do not know the difference between Denmark, Chile and Sweden." Ahmed, a Syrian hard-liner, blames the Danish and Norwegian governments: "They should understand that the reason is their ignorance, which we do not accept, even if a sword is held on our necks, and even if we have to burn whole of Denmark and Norway."

The following sentence from your excellent post explains it ALL:

**If that decision should occur, when the UN Security Council gets round to considering what form of sanctions to impose on Iran, guess to whom chairmanship of the Council will have passed. You’ve got it... plucky little Denmark. ****

Thanks for ping. Sure looks like this little incident is not going to go away. Hopefully it will lead to further isolation of the real bad muslim apples as more muslims in westernized and perhaps muslim countries open up to say it is all over play. What kills this clowns more then anything is when everyone simply ignores them. Sadly the L/MSM cannot stop playing up to the goons. They aid them on a daily basis.

This event, above all else should demonstrate once and for all that Islam and Muslims are not fit for inclusion in a civilized society.

Yes, once we gratefully accept their yoke and submit to the rule of the imams, they will, in their infinite generosity, respect our practices as long as we pay the dhimmi tax.

Maybe... If the local imam gets a burr in his saddle, though, all bets are off, and the tax will have to have supplemental payments to remain in effect...
