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? Is it? This is news to me. I haven't heard this from any Shia. 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. This is all discussion of the reaction, which was not my point. I was discussing the Dane's decision to publish the offensive material. That also is wrong, albeit legal, and I am not going to side with the Danes in upsetting 20% of the world's population just because some idiots in the poorest repressed parts of the world aren't advanced enough to put together a civilized reaction to the offensive material. I agree the reaction was wrong. That's obvious. It's not that interesting to shoot the fish in the barrel....
