"Here are the cartoons if you're interested in seeing what the fussis about, Or does it actually matter to liberals who ordinarily claim to be such champions of the rights of man?" I live in Denmark and find your argument irrelevant.

Young Guy gets ticket to SOLD OUT Superbowl. His seat is in a poor position. Sees older man in the best position down below with one spare seat next to him. Younger guy walks down to older guy and says..."Hello there. I noticed you have a spare seat. May I take it?" "Yes, I suppose so" said the older guy. Young guy: "Say, why is such a valuable seat empty?" "Well, my wife and I used to come to the superbowl every year for 25 years. But she died and now I am here alone". The young guy felt so bad for him but still perplexed, he asked: "But wasnt there any family members or good friends that you could have offered the seat to?" Older man replies, eyes fixed on the action ahead: "No, they're all at the funeral".

Good post. The free world and free press must lampoon Allah and the Muslim religion until mulsims can laugh at themselves. The alternative is for the free world to convert to the Muslim religion and behead the cartoonist and publisher in public for blasphemy.

Liberals against free speech, just a few more steps until the final disintegration of the Democratic Party. As George would say, "I'm speechless, I'm absolutely without speech". <g>

This link shows that Mohammed has been depicted for centuries on paintings and drawings. So WHY the childish and destructive Muslim behavior now? Islamic depictions of Mohammed zombietime.com (hattip Carolyn!)

SHAME! Y'know... I read that response in the news this morning and I distinctly recall that we also stated that, while we find the cartoons offensive, we also believe anti-christian and anti-semitic cartoons to be offensive as well and that they should not be condoned. But we also stated that violent demonstration was unacceptable as well. Hawk
