They did it. It is over with. They need to step up and be men even if they are frightened. Enough of the tail between the legs stuff.

I hope Scott Adams isn't Danish.

The newspaper's culture editor, Fleming Rose, says he intended simply to test cartoonists to see if they were self-censoring their work, out of fear of violence from Islamic radicals. He cited a Danish comedian, who said in an interview that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Koran. "Some Muslims try to impose their religious taboos in the public domain," said Mr. Rose. "In my book, that's not asking for my respect, it's asking for my submission."
The Danish press has more guts than the American press.

Individuals are not typically equiped to fight one-man wars. The law will punish you faster than the actual terrorist who is out to kill you.
To: xjcsa
now why would these cartoonists feel they have to go into hiding? from what? from whom? we all know that Islam is loving, peaceful... just ask the Dutch film maker who...oh, that's right, you can't. He was knifed to death...

Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, president of the Danish Union of Journalists, told The Times: They are keeping a very low profile. They are very concerned about their safety. They feel a big responsibility on their shoulders. Its blown up so big. It is tough for them.
Message to Christians who are sick and tired of having their religion bashed by the left. If you threaten to "exterminate" them, they'll back down.

said Mr. Rose. "In my book, that's not asking for my respect, it's asking for my submission." this is the whole ball of wax - and not just with this one incident. This is what they plan - submission - of all of us, to Islam.
Submission, in all things, is the prime tenant of Islam. Muslims are instructed on every action in their lives - they have learned submission from the cradle. Obey or die.
They plan to rule the world -= and they have patiently infiltrated (some call it immigrated) every country. Those who are peaceful, when it comes to marching orders from their imams - well, you can see what they will do - look at the newsreels.

"clash of civilizations"???
They don't have a civilization
To: johniegrad
Yeah, right. Ever had a COUNTRY out for your neck? Ask Salmon Rushdie. We just need to do the Ann Coulter thing. Bomb 'em, invade 'em, convert 'em to Christianity.

It's time to turn things around. It is any practitioner of that murderous ideology called mainstream Islam who should be forced into hiding. Every civilized human being should join the hunt. Find these rabid dogs and make sure they never again threaten or harm anyone. I'm not advocating any particular fate for them. Just get them out of every civilized nation.

Heck, after the Theo van Gogh murder, I can't think that any
Dane would feel truly safe while the Islamics are still around.

They still won't get it.
An entire ideology is infecting numerous radicals and maybe its not the only way but its the only way any one has discussed so far but an established presence in the region such as Iraq could very well change the perception of western civilization.
After all, folks for decades have been taught in schools of the evils of western people while using money that is donated by the western governments to fund such teachings.
Just imagine if Americans and other western civilizations would act so barbarically to jest and satire.
Chevy Chase would have been dragged through the streets naked and his eyes would have been ripped out back in the 70s.
But G W is a bad guy.
Barbaric animals and ignorant arrogant simpletons get all of the attention.

I would suggest carrying a personal firearm and knowing how to use it; but are handguns illegal in Denmark?

I can't believe these barbarians are all worked up over a cartoon of Mohammad.
To: doug from upland
I'm sure he'd liked to but he'd need an extra 'pair' to do that sort of thing, since his are reserved for his boy-toy.
