Exactly. It's a stupid poll.

“ It now comes to light that Merete Eldrup, managing director of JP/Politikens Hus, the company that published the cartoons, is the wife of Anders Eldrup. Anders Eldrup is a Bilderberg member who has attended the last five Bilderberg meetings. The Bilderberg Group is a shadowy organization that meets once a year to steer global policy. It is now widely acknowledged that Bilderberg set the date for the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.”

The cartoon was published back in Sept. 2005 so why is it only NOW that the outrage is being expressed. Reasonable question, right? For now though, just hold that question in mind.

The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made no effort to hide his agenda. The top two of which is to “wipe Israel of the map”, and prepare the way for arrival of the 12th Imam/Mahdi. When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office, he brought into his inner circle another semi-clandestine group of radical Islamic Imam’s. Imam’s so radical that they “frightened” the former Iranian regime who were also fearfull
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would welcome them. That group is called the” Hojjatieh’s.”
As you’ll see when you read the linked article, that central to this groups doctrine is “its conviction that chaos must be created to hasten the coming of the Mahdi.”

Now back to the question of why the delay in outrage after the initial publication.

Immediately after that initial publication, local Danish Imam’s had a meeting with the Hojjatieh in Denmark to discuss any action to be taken.

If you’ve watched any of the news coverage of the protests and rioting, you may or may not have noted the prevalence of Danish flags available to the protestors for burning. There is NO WAY that many flags of one country being within a different country without there having been a preplanned and organized special order and shipment of those flags, all of which would have taken some time to do. Remember the central doctrine of the Hojjatieh and the intent of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which is to hasten the coming of the Mahdi through the use of chaos, a noted tool of Satan.

By the way, it has also been established that three of the cartoons felt most outrageous were never even published before there was already outrage over them. Hmmmmmmm

Another interesting point concerning the timing of these events.

Jan. 30th 2006 – Protests start on precisely the same day that the IAEA decided to refer Iran to the U.N. security council. Ahmadinejad promised beforehand of consequences to western nations if that happened.

[auboy]

True. [:-)

[benjibrowder]

Wow...you can pull resources better than I ever could. I somehow doubted that the protests were just coincidence...but wow. I have no doubt that Ahmadinejad had something to do with what's going on.

Hey, with them, it's any port in the storm. They don't NEED excuses to hate and kill anybody but they are gaining sympathy through this ridiculous uproar.(obviously, by the results of this one sided poll). You sympathizers, watch your backs. They be gunnin' for ya and you think you can make friends of them.

They have a mission and your head and my head are a part of it. They might can separate my head from my body but they can never separate me from my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Remember when that kooky artist displayed Jesus in a jar of urine. (Name started with "T" I think) We didn't like it but nobody got killed over it. We left it to the Lord to ferret out. Besides. we don't have pictures of Jesus anyway. Their so called prophet doesn't impress me one way or the other. Who cares! Not me. He sure is a hairy dude.

[SengirV]

I'm sure they want it ONLY for content pertaining to Muslims.

that one was faked by a Muslim

Y said it better than I did.

[Frwy]

That should be "You", not Y said it......

Those who are offended by the publications should limit themselves to nonviolent responses.

How about: Those who are offended by the publications should limit themselves to violence upon themselves.

1)We already knew that many Muslims would react this way, just as we know that if we drag a stick across the bars of a tiger's cage we will anger it.
2)We are witnessing an uneducated mass being manipulated for political ends by some Muslim leaders.
3)What purpose is served by fomenting a radicalization of Muslims, rather than build on the commonalities with those who seek civility?
4)Why will we side with libertine Europeans in their puerile sticking tongue out and hiding behind "freedom of expression"?
5)Why don't we act like grownups and resist the mocking of another's beliefs? Politics is always lampoonable, but not religion. If we wish to challenge religious beliefs, let us do it in charity and reasoned discourse. I'm Catholic, so I understand the centuries' long conflict with the heresy of Islam.

A lot of people, a growing number every day, also think so.
