It will take a really big 9-11 on European soil to get the Europeans awake.
The Islamists killed Van Gogh in Holland and the Dutch did very little.
Norway and Denmark are obviously not mad that their embassies are being destroyed.
Like when Clinton did little after the Cole and our embassies were bombed, etc. The DUmmies think that this war is still some misunderstanding.
LOL..poor Mr. Murrow.
Exactly...well said. I did not think of that perspective.
I was in Haifa during the Summer of 2002, at the height of the 2nd Intifada. Some of us put our money where our mouths are.
It's not about cartoons. It's about a religion that seeks world domination via bloody conquest. The cartoons are a random spark that landed in a sea of gasoline.
Must be a friendly game since israel for the first time in her history was admitted to the preliminary phase of the World Cup and was miserably eliminated. Even though she did not qualify for the Asian Conference she was lumped together with the European Conference in the preliminary phase. Israel Football is amaturish and wonder why the Danish are playing them.
"It's hypocrisy and cowardice both. "
It's a bogus excuse. Instead of admitting that they are appeasing the Muslims by shunning Israel, an ongoing goal of Muslims (see academic boycotts, product boycotts) they are couching it in terms of player safety.
Israel would have better security than almost anywhere else. They always do.
"Not Danish protestors...either Mooslems/Communists waved those banners. Definitely not Danes."
What makes you say they are not Danes?
Europe is rife with anti-Israel sentiment. A European poll in 2003 voted Israel the "biggest threat to world peace." All Muslims? I don't think so!
Being anti-Israel is one thing.
Being stupid in one post after another is something else.

There is history here, post Madrid bombing --
"With the refusal of the Spanish basketball team Valencia to travel to Tel Aviv, ostensibly for fear of terrorist violence, one might have thought that Spain would be off the terrorists’ list of targets. After all, if terrorist threats in Israel could effectively compel a team to forfeit an important game rather than travel into danger, the limited victory of 3/11 could be seen to be magnified many times over. Further, if the Spanish refusal to play in Tel Aviv was in part an expression of political preferences, as witnessed by the placards that appeared in Spain throughout the season calling for the team to boycott Tel Aviv, the double appeasement of terrorists should have reaped at least some rewards for the Spanish population."

Also -
Olympic gold medal favourite, Iran's Arash Miresmaeili, has definitely forfeited his first round clash with Israel's Ehud Vaks - in what a Tehranian official called a political boycott - and judo officials are today considering what sanctions to impose on Iran. [no sanctions]

This will amount to a Boycott. Plenty of sports related boycott activity.

All Muslims? I don't think so!

Bomb threats and violence? All Mooslems. To believe otherwise is to believe in the tooth fairy.
Denmark's 'weakness manifesting' is more than wierd here; it is simply obscene and pathetic.
How do the Danish say. . .'roll over'. . .
ahh with a correction. . .that should be 'the Danes'. . .save 'the Danish' for breakfast. . .
another correction bump. . '.weird' . . .
I've got an idea. Ship the Mohammedans back to their caves.
At the turnstyle show them a picture of one of the cartoons - if they explode, don't let 'em in. QED
