A SAUDI-owned pan-Arab newspaper printed a full page apology from Jyllands-Posten, the Danish daily that first published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed unleashing a wave of fury from Muslims worldwide.
"These drawings apparently hurt millions of Muslims around the world, so we now offer our apology and deep regret for what happened because it is far from the paper's intention," said the statement titled "Apology" in big bold letters addressed to Muslim citizens and printed in Asharq al-Awasat.
It was signed by the paper's editor-in-chief Carsten Juste and was also posted in Arabic on Jyllands-Posten's website under a link titled "A new formulation for the apology."

They caved. They bloody caved.
Of all people they should remember the lesson of history:
Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.

Riots, fires, death bounties... and the Muslims get exactly what they asked for!
No doubt, they will (with good reason) adopt the exact same strategy in future scenarios.

Tolerating Islamist intolerance
EXCERPTS:
Crucially, it is precisely this tolerance of intolerance that has allowed vocal and violent radicalised Islamist minorities to silence Muslim majorities and to transform the global image of Islam into the grotesque parody of the faith that the Danish cartoons sought - perhaps indelicately - to reflect.
Europe would be, not only foolish, but suicidal, if it succumbs to this terrorism and coercion to invent new curbs on the media and on the freedom of speech.

A SAUDI-owned pan-Arab newspaper printed a full page apology from Jyllands-Posten, the Danish daily that first published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed Interesting. Meanwhile, Flemming Rose, the culture editor of the same Danish newspaper (Jyllands-Posten), released this superb editorial, which was not apologetic at all, and explained the importance of being able to publish such things: Why I Published Those Cartoons
Excerpt:
But if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. [...]
The lesson from the Cold War is: If you give in to totalitarian impulses once, new demands follow. The West prevailed in the Cold War because we stood by our fundamental values and did not appease totalitarian tyrants.

I think that they are coming under pressure from the trade lobby, as European firms, in general, are losing billions in trade contracts.
Aust and NZ cheese manufacturers, this week, signed big contracts for the Middle East. So big, that they are worried about how to meet the demand. But such a good market opportunity can't be missed.
The huge French dairy outfit "Puk" (yes, that is their real name!) has been withdrawn all across the region, because of the association with Denmark. I bet the Chairman of that firm never wants to hear the word "cartoon" again.

The funny thing was all the hoopla from Islamic countries had no impact of any kind in Europe or Denmark in particular. The bright Muslim mobs burned men, women, tires, buildings and whatever else in their own countries. It brought their own irrelevance into stark focus.
Why in the hell is the editor apologizing and handing them a victory now?
To: Aussie Dasher
Well, I don't know if they wimped out or not. I could not find anything on the website including the apology in Arabic (not that I could read it) or in fact anything in Arabic at all.
Then there are apologies like: I am sorry I did it, it was a mistake, and I will never do it again." But there is also "I am sorry you were offended as that is not what was intended but it was the right thing to do." No way to know right now just what was said.
To: Aussie Dasher
"These drawings apparently hurt millions of Muslims around the world..." No, they didn't. These people live to get offended and riot, and are as happy pigs in sh/t whenever given an excuse to do so.

Drawn lines vs. Threats of murder (which have been carried out by the way). Which is more offensive? Danes don`t owe one scintilla of a syllable of an apology to these pigs, and until these pigs renounce murder as their #1 way to solve problems (which they will never do) and apologise (which they will never do), these drawings can only be seen as one thing: Justice. When killers are allowed respect, victims can only be shown the opposite. They don`t like them cartoons? F `em! I don`t like your beheadings Mohammed!
