Chill out, turbaned dudes. Have a brewski, watch a little "Dhimmis Gone Wild" and enjoy one of these...

....the cartoons have caused Muslims in Calgary, and worldwide, unnecessary stress and heartache.

Muslims worldwide have caused unnecessary violence, destruction, and death.

ve defamed or slandered Canadian muslims and that probably requires the cartoons to be proven to be false representations of mohammed's character

Drawing on my limited knowledge of US tort law, in order to prove any defemation you need to show injury. Further you need standing, considering that Mohammed,if he existed, has been dead for a long time, therefore he cannot sue.

I think Muslims have caused a lot more people stress and heartache...who can I sue ?

A class action lawsuit against all nations subscribing to TROP...multiple lawsuits demanding punitive damages filed continuously until the b-st-rds are out of money!

Those savages of TROP have to learn that freedom works for others besides themselves!

"We see these cartoons as racist."

Are all Muslims from the same race?

If you are a non Arab Muslim you should pay very close attention to what this man said.

well good! And then the rest of europe can sue them for all the damage done during their rioting. And the media can sue them for taking up so much face time.

"but that the right thing to do wasn't to stage violent protests, but to hire Jewish lawyers and sue."

Do you think the ADL and CAIR are in cahoots with the ACLU? (rhetorical question).

We need to start doing what CAIR does here. "Polite email campaigns" in support of any publication brave enough enough to stand up to the Muslims.

Well..it get complex up here.

Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code make it a criminal offence to: advocate genocide, publicly incite hatred, wilfully promote hatred, against an "identifible" group. Muslims are such a group.

Levant and co. didn't advocate genocide, so they're ok there. But Canadian jurisprudence is very flexible on the "inciting hatred and willfully promoting hatred bit". If the courts or the government feel that restricting freedom of expression in order to preserve public order and peace is neccessary, they can.

The Conservatives are in charge in Ottawa, and they are unlikely to do anything legislative about this.Likewise, this happened in the glorious province of Alberta. So that's fine. The courts are a wildcard, but they recently allowed a pervert to retain and create pornographic images with children in them on account of his freedom of expression. If he could create an retain images outraging the basic nature of the young, I think the sensibilities of the Muslim community aren't going to cut it.

Your milage may vary. The courts up here are about as inconsistant and caprious as meth addicts attempting to put IKEA furniture together with Sanskrit instructions.

Yep, and boycott those too cowardly to take a stand. I sent emails to Jylland-Posten and Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen last week thanking them for their courage.

If you wish to chastise the Calgary Herald for not printing the cartoons, email them here.

Hysterical pic!!!

We see these cartoons as hurtful, and we see these cartoons as against our religion. There has been damages towards the Muslim community for their losing their peace of mind, and creating stress on people's heart."

The real damage is between the covers of the Koran. The rest was done during hate indoctrination as these poor muslim children go through Islamic schools.

Welcome to FR...the problem really isn't about cartoons, its about terrorism. In this case, muslims are threatening violence to quash freedom of speech in the west. The cartoons are simply a convenient vehicle.
