Perhaps this all has to do with the fact that Denmark will preside over the Security Council when it considers the Iranian Nuke Program.

hmmm..the man is clearly demented with a clearly sick sense of religion and morality. I studied Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. and was never taught that Islam is about killing infidels, etc. Was taught do unto others as you would have them do unto you.. but this kind of peace loving, tolerant (and yes, majority) view of the Muslim religion does not sell newspapers nor does it generate skyrocketing TV ratings.

What obviously sells is the image of dark, bearded, veiled man, chanting some foreign language and making threats in a barbaric savage way...Oh, yes, and I forgot to mention that this disgusting man is from a region blessed with abundant and cheap oil reserves..

a colorful enemy is always needed; Cold War, it was the "Soviet Evil Empire" and now it is that mysteriously fanatical dark force called Islam.. Sadly, the majority of Muslims get subject to racist attacks and violence by those that equate them with the extremist and violent factions that get sensationalized by the media.

and remember: salam means peace in arabic, the original Koranic language.

I guess all it takes is bad apple to taint the rest.

Thx for your response...no insult intended for you.

But consider this...all people (Christians, Muslims, Jews) are forever tempted to go to the dark side. Pray to your Creator and your Salvation.

Ask your Creator to come to your aid (He will)...and ask Him who He is, and what the truth is.

Ask Him and be prepared to be shocked (and that applies to all of us...me most of all).

Pray and be willing to follow Him.

God bless...hang tough!

Dark Skies, this goading would not happen if Iran did not have nuclear weapons up and running and was ready for war. They are just begging for a fight using this stupid, silly excuse of cartoons for the Lord's sake! Their hypocritical and egregious behavior is showing the world what a joke militant Islam is.

I said it before, but it bears repeating. The United States remains the only power to have detonated nuclear warheads on a civilian population. And we did it twice. These guys are rank amateurs.

And before you accuse me of Bravado, empty posturing, etc., remember.

I know that the Islamicists are not afraid of death, so mutually assured destruction won't work.

But that's just fine, it won't be MUTUAL destruction.

They have three or four warheads, we have 5,000.

You do the math...

No cheers, unfortunately. Nukes cause unimaginable suffering if used.

I bet Ahmadinejad didn't consider that the protests would boomerang on him...or did he do the protests to ESCALATE the tension wrt the Security Council ?

I would like to know when we will reach our boiling point. I know that I have reached mine, I have no fear of them and never will. But fanfan is right when he said that the masses still don't understand what is really going on, so I wonder if this madness will ever end. Europe is a long way from getting on board, just look at the riots in France. The people were so fear stricken that it paralyzed the country, people holed up indoors and waited for the chaos to end. When it finally did, all I heard was the French blaming themselves for it. Ridiculous! At least Australia's not afraid, they have had enough! and the people there have shown they are willing to take a stand. This is clash of two very different civilizations that have never been able to, and never will be able to co-exist together harmoniously. Not that we didn't try.

No way! Is that so? Can we be THAT lucky?

Ah, the sweet, sweet irony.
