I will not argue with you that the cartoons may have been in poor taste.....but to burn embassies and loot Christian shops as a reaction to those cartoons........sorry but that's way over the top for me. The radical Muslims have done much worse and you don't see Americans and Europeans burning their embassies. I agree, but that's not what I'm talking about. We are not "all Danes", unless we all want to propagate material that 20% of the world finds blasphemous. We are "all Danes" because we oppose the kind of censorship that the Muslims are advocating. I would be upset if a Dane went to Cairo and started posting those cartoons in papers in Egypt. It would be rude. However, doing it in Denmark is perfectly permissable. I don't think Danes have to live by Muslim rules when they are in their own country, abiding by their own laws. Besides, what about the Shia would reside in Muslim countries like Jordan or Egypt? Are they prevented from depicting Mohammad even though its permitted in their branch of the Muslim religion? Again, I think the Muslims protest too much. The cartoons were published in Sept. Why are they upset in February, nearly 6 months later? To coin a phrase......something is rotten in Denmark and it ain't those cartoons IMO.
