Just curious if any American papers have published the photos? All we hear are the European papers. NBC tonight did a story on it and the reporter went OUT of his way to say "we arent going to broadcast the pictures for sensitivty reasons".
Pouring gasoline always works in putting out fires
Apparently, a newspaper in Greenland has also printed them. I guess that is technically Denmark though.
It was kind of funny listening to the editor. He mentioned there was ONE muslim in Greenland, that worked at a local factory.
They reckoned they could deal with any one-man riots :-)
Cheers.
I am waiting for the person who gets the tattoo.
Instant fame and then government protection, you know it is going to happen.
Most of the space available is currently reserved for 'Bush Is Evil' or 'Cut and Run' stories.
"We're the American press, we just do our agenda, that's all you need to know, we don't need no stinking cartoons".
LMFAO
By the way, CNN showed the cartoons digitally hidden. Fox News showed the cartoons in full. That should tell you something.
Did any of you see this? The link is the thread. When the site opens up, give it time to open pictures before you scroll down. There are many.

Yeah, you're right. Far better that we do whatever is necessary to appease the muslims and put this fire out as soon as possible.
Just because they win this challenge with our Constitutional rights doesn't mean they'll expect to win again.
Besides, we'll always have our memories, and the knowledge that we peacefully rolled over, I mean, put the fire out.
Goodnight, Neville.
Here is an interesting cartoon web site. I do not see any of the current cartoons about the islamists and their terroristic prophet.

Since they are all over the internet, there is no need for the MSM to "offend" Muslims by publishing them...
After all, it is easier to firebomb the offices of the NYTimes or ABC than it is to destroy a couple thousand bloggers...
Easy to duck the question, How does the cartooons help our guys in Iraq?
To my knowledge, none of the MSM have reproduced the cartoons.
The same media which didn't mind inflaming the Muslims with pictures of Abu Graib now doesn't want to inflame Muslims about the cartoons because the Muslims wouldn't be angry at America but at another country.
Not that the MSM wants Muslims to hate America or anything. /sarcasm
They don't. Either does the fact that these so-called religious people are so weak in their faith that they feel the need to threaten and kill people who say anything against it. To boot, they've been reacting that way for over a thousand years.
Our soldiers don't need to be babysat by our media - though a little bit of positive reporting once in awhile would be nice. They are in no more danger today than they were last week than they were last year. And our guys and gals still have the better weapons.
The people on the bad side in this war could care less about cartoons, they could care less how much we roll over for them. They want us DEAD. Every single one of us who doesn't play their game and pray to their prophet.
You know what? I'm wrong - those cartoons DO help our soldiers. The people that get all bent out of shape to the point of threatening our people and installations or actively attacking them are now the enemy instead of a hidden threat. This mess will bring those sneaky ones into the sites of a well-armed soldier.
Our guys in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world would be helped by having half our population support them instead of calling them rapists and murderers and torture-loving animals. They don't need a bunch of apologists, they don't need us wimping out. They need us standing proudly at their backs, ready to defend their rights so they have a country to come home to.
It DOES suggest that Europe's trying to face a real problem. Finally. I'm proud of them in this regard, that so many European papers are going to a unified presentation with Denmark as to their understanding of what "media" means.
I am really curious as to just what degree that the Greta Van Susteren extensive, if not obsessive, coverage of the Natalie story and Aruba has had on the nation of Denmark, BECAUSE it seems to have encouraged them to get more involved in their own socio-politics.
It's a GOOD THING, if that's the case. A very, very good outcome to a very sad and terrible story from Aruba. It's certainly focused a lot of Western attention on the "Dutch system of government" needless to say, and to their culture.
Or perhaps "we will make every exception possible for Islam, because after 9/11, we found a religion that we could respect."
