Sweden's Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, has met ambassadors from 22 Muslim countries in an effort to defuse a row about a Prophet Muhammad cartoon.

The cartoon, published in a Swedish newspaper last month, showed Prophet Muhammad's head on a dog's body. Several Muslim countries protested.

So the Washington Post was “wise” to refuse to run the recent Berke Breathed “Opus” comic strip? I don’t think so.

It is cowardice to Islamic supremacists. No other religion gets this respect and fear.

“No other religion gets this respect and fear.”

- True. One reason to this difference is the fact that a lot of Westerners fail to see that many Muslims lack, not only a true sense of religiousness, but also a true respect for national sovereignty.

If a Christian from, say, Belgium would mock Buddha in one way or another, some Buddhists might possibly complain to the Belgian government but Buddhist countries would hardly send hysterical delegations yelling about the need to alter Belgian legislation in the field of freedom of expression.

These Muslim ambassadors and their employers probably believe they are doing something intelligent as they most certainly will get support at home for their efforts to ‘correct’ the Swedish government. However, although my opinion is a partial one - being Swedish - I think one of the last countries any diplomat should try to portray as ‘intolerant’ towards minorities and ‘misguided’ in the area of citizen rights is Sweden.

These loud mouthed-regimes ought to consider this:

YOU are the ones for whom the bell toll.

It is hard to react to these articles without visuals, don't you think?

- Can’t argue with that. Just be sure not to hurt anyone’s feelings by depicting Muhammad and his followers as violent. After all, Islam is the religion of double stand.. sorry, PEACE.

Kill everyone who says Islam is violent!

Only the Muzzies would get burned up over a silly cartoon but not have a problem with stoning somebody to death or flying an airplane full of innocents into a building.

Sweden needs to grow a pair — or simply resign themselves to being the Islamist’s bitch, by simply assuming the hands on ankles position, permanently.

Militant Islamists MUST be declared “Persona non grata” and banned from all non-Islamic countries....

Every attempt to preempt National Laws to accommodate Islamists should be sufficient grounds to immediately expel all non citizen Muslims or to deny entry.

Until Islamists and the Islamic Republics provide non-Muslims equal treatment and “accommmodations” demanded by Muslims from non-Muslim lands — they should be told to pound sand and hit the road.

The civilized world in NOT required to commit suicide to prove our tolerance of others....

- I have no memories whatsoever of hearing Muslim complaints about atrocities committed by Muslims. But perhaps this is just because I suffer from Islamophobia. By the way, I also suspect I might be somewhat Naziphobic.
