That'd explain the taste, then. *laughs inappropriately*

My understanding is that most of these demonstrations are organized by a few radicals spreading lies about the cartoons to a largely illiterate, not too intelligent, population in the first place. So it probably doesn't mean anything. Anyway, the west is bored of this now.

I did hear that a radical cleric in the UK has issued a death threat - i mean fatwah - about the cartoonists. As usual, the government has behaved in a spineless fashion about it, and the BBC is beind all 'sensitive.'

Though I suppose being dead is better than being thought of as 'islamophobic.' :rolleyes:

Keep burning stuff down. Keep making death threats. It's time the world sees these primitive barbarians for what they really are.

BTW, I'm obviously not talking about all Muslims. Only the scum who think that they can dictate what does and doesn't get protected by the right of free speech to other sovereign nations.

They have to realize that Muhammad isn't sacred to our culture. Freedom is. We have to realize that there can be no compromising the central tenets of our societies in order to placate savages.

Nor has the Danish government's supporting party. They're trying to get some of the Imams deported now. If I got it right, they're accused with 'damaging Denmark's reputation'...

So much for freedom of speech.
