The protest concerned a cartoon by artist Lars Vilks, which showed the head of Muhammad on the body of a dog.

Just think how upset the muzzies would be if the artist had drawn the head of Muhammad on the body of a PIG.

What gets me is the logic -

No one is ever supposed to make an “image of Muhammed” (though I make one every day then flush it).

So, supposedly, no image has ever been made.

How do the rage boys know what Muhammed looks like,
and therefore, how do they know that this cartoon is “Muhammed”?

What was said:
"Regrettably, the tendency among some Europeans to mix the freedom of expression with an outright and deliberate insult to 1.3 billion Muslims in the world is on the rise"...

What was meant:

"Fortunately, the tendency among most Muslims to nix the freedom of expression with an outright and deliberate threat to 4.7 billion non-Muslims in the world is on the rise"...

I'll believe there are really 1.3 billion Muslims in the world when there's no more death penalty for converting to something else, and no Dhimmitude, in Muslim countries.

Before the Swedes apologize for this cartoon, how ‘bout the Muslims apologize for their ongoing violence, persecution, beheading, and terrorizing of the Christians and other “infidels” since the 7th century.
