I must ask, what the hell do we have to do with the cartoons, now Extreamists have gone from blaming Denmark, to the West, and then to the USA ? What posses their minds to relate the americans to the Cartoons ?

A Egyptian newspaper with the queen of Denmark as a belly dancer.

I hardly doubt any Danes will boycot Egyptian products because of this, burn their flag in the streets or attack their embassy in Copenhagen.

Why does any anti-western movement always end up anti-american, if you go way back to it, when the first WTC bombing was (In 93), what did we do to deserve that ? Save Kuwait ?

I believe it's because we support Israel.. the supreme enemy of many Muslim nations.

Forgot bout that, The middle east hates Israel, but didnt Egypt and Syria come to terms with israel ?

look at it this way:

their just wasting their own money buying the flags to burn. Until they start burning down embassies it's just their loss.

But that newspaper was pretty stupid to publish that cartoon in the first place.

After Iran is "dealt with," I'm sure we'll see who Israel wants to go after next. My guess is Syria, along with all available Muslim nations. As for Egypt, I don't know. I'm sure we'll see in time.

Well what do you want,.... they are middleeast yahoos without a brain among an entire popluace, for generations they just hate and hate it's all they have left. Fuckin Slobs!
If alla came down right now and told them to cut the shit and smell the roses and create instead of destroy they still wouldnt do it. They won't because HATE is all that these simple life forms have left remove that and what do you have left? Love understanding, careing, intimacy, laughter, creativity, writing, art, music, film making, basically challenges,.... and thats the LAST thing they want unless its a sure bet like killing off civies.

I think Israel should just call in it massive reservist army and go about killing all the extreamists. That would end it, then they could bomb the Iranian Uranium plant like they did to Sadamm.

Actuallt, I saw a story on this, an interview... I can see if I find the link again.

Anyway, the short version to explain some of the mystery:
The subject of the interview was an arab merchant. He said that when the story about the cartoons broke back in september/october last year, he knew there would be trouble so he started to stock up on danish flags. And when the norwegian paper re-published the cartoons, he ordered some norwegian flags as well. (Probably made in China the lot of them.) So when the demonstrations started and the flag-burning began it wasn't difficult for protesters to get their hands on the flags, and the merchant has made quite a profit on the whole thing. And he's probably not the only one to have seen this comming.

Don't you just love capitalism? ;)

Mmmm... Money :fluffle:

...right... Really that blind, eh?

Egypt and Jordan both have treaties with Israel. I don't believe Saudi Arabia does, but I could be mistaken. Syria is a constant threat to Israel. Hell, for years they've been mortaring across the border after all. They're a haven for terrorists. A real shame considering they have the oldest constantly inhabited city in the world. I'd love to visit it.

Too bad they were converted to Islam by force centuries ago like Egypt and every other non-Arabian country. :(

Thats a bit misleading. Thats like saying Europe was 'forced to convert to Christianity'.

People have a choice to live amongst others of the same ilk. If they don't want to live amongst other Muslims, then they move away. No one is 'forced'.

Are the companies that make these flags publicly traded companies? If so, can someone please give me their stock symbol. I have money laying around in my Schwaab moneymarket fund I'd like to spend on something. My investment past is mixed with me gaining on Walgreens, but also getting fucked in the ass on Sun Microsystems.

Don't watch that poor excuse of a 'film' called Munich.

What do you expect, coming from a lying Jew like Speilberg. He is hardly a source to use in this is he?

The best thing America can do is to overturn the Jewish lobby that holds hostage your nation and government and cut your ties with that cesspool called 'Israel'.

Why should America waste it's money and the lives of it's soldiers fighting Arab nations to defend a spinless race that keeps asking for handouts and using emotional blackmail on all nations with the lies about the so-called 'genocide' that Germany did to them during WW2.

I pray for the day Iran's Ahmedinejad makes good on his promise to wipe out 'Israel'.

I dont see the popint of burning flags-who does it offend.

The flag doesn't belong to the country-it belongs to the person who purchased the flag- so in actual fact the person burning the flag is burning their own flag.

On behalf of Danes everywhere, I demand apologies from every nation that let in the gang of ME touring Danish Imams. They did nothing but spread lies in the hopes of creating the current situation.
I demand apologies from every single Muslim, dead or living, that ever was, for proving half-arsed satire right.

And if I get apologies for that, I'll procede to burn down every ME embassy in my country, and in every other country I can find. And if anyone objects & calls me violent & unreasonable, I'll go protest in the streets, waving a banner that reads "Behead all who claims I'm violent & unreasonable."


- that was sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell. The point being that current riots, killings & regular protests, makes no sense at all.

What posses their minds to relate the americans to the Cartoons ?easy!
the cartoons were published, because denmark has been infiltrated by zionist agents, that have taken controll of the press. zionist agents could infiltrate denmark, because the nazi germans were forced out of denmark and ultimately forced to end their antizionist activities and this was all caused because the usa assaulted the antizionist germans.
so it is all the usas fault.

...'It was then that I saw him across the crowded plaza, he exuded an air of self-assuredness and strength mixed with an underlying gentleness, I felt my passion grow stronger as he torched an American flag.

As the burning fabric flapped around his muscular, well-formed shoulders I knew that I was in love. He stood with a halo of flames around his flowing hair which blew in the wind like wind blown thingies and my heart leapt like a caged bird set free for the first time.

And then, for the first time, he saw me. Time seemed to slow. He walked towards me, never once breaking eye-contact, until we stood barely a hand's-width apart.

It was then that he leaned forwards and whispered with dulcet tones into my ear: "Death to the American infidels"...'

It would also appear that you are offering an opinion(s) that you cannot support with fact(s).

As for burning US flags. I can only assume it went like this:

As I understand it, that "protest" was against the Philidelphia Inquirer's decision to publish the cartoons. I suspect that a significant factor in the decision to "protest" was driven by simple Anti-Americanism. This is nothing new, unfortunately.

1. Homophobes are usually homosexual.
2. Therefore those with a particular hatred of a group are probably a member of that group.
3. Most of the world hates America.
4. Ergo, most of the world is American.
