TROP my arse BUMP!
Millions of islamderthals mysteriously burst into flame. Mushroom cloud seen in area but is not belived to be the cause.
Has a credible news organization reported this yet? This is an article in a Pakistani publication that refers to an article in a Saudi newspaper.
Don't you just hate it when the Saudis prematurely report on a murder they have not yet committed.
What do the local papers over in your region say about this?

Jyllands-Posten Editorin-Chief Carsten Juste says he agrees with the view that Denmark's becoming Europe's standard-setter for freedom of expression - 63 years after being the only European country whose Jews were rescued from the Nazis - was somewhat accidental.

It doesn't appear to be on the website of Jyllands Posten.
