If you do not like jokes that are related to religion you should move to the moon, and if you want to boycut countries that are maiking fun and jokes of muslims, you should boycut the rest of the world. Good luck mate.

I don't need to live in the moon to protect what i believe is right, this earth is for all of us and i am welling to live and tell over and over that offending any religion on this earth is not a nice thing to do.

first of all

the drawings was ONE newspapers work!

second - the danish newspapers NEVER speak bad about the muslim world

NO they defend the muslims. the conflict in palesteine is allways spoken good about - the danish goverment post millions of dollars in the area to help the muslims build a better world for them self

now we see that they burn flags and bouycot danish products … becourse of a stupid newspaper…. AND ONLY ONE newspaper.

the danish goverment has no comment towards this matter - as they HAVE to defend the freedom of speech as its in the constitution. As they say - the newspaper can print what ever they want, but under the law. So if anyone has a problem - go to the court as the goverment CANT do anything or shouldnt do anything

i think its stupid - and yes it is igorent as we today have seen muslims calling danish people for animals and basterds becourse of the drawings… EVENTHOUGH its not what the danish population or the danish goverment think and feels - its one fricking newspaper

in denmark Arlas problems might mean that 150 people loose their job

in the middel east Arlas problems might mean that 2000 people living in saudi arabia or other middel eastern areas, loose their job. try to think about it, these 2000 people in the middle east are not Danes. They are locals..DOOH who is fucked up now

this matter is very cretical and sienstive to all muslem and sur the news paper they know that
thired ; your queen and government refuse to apologize to muslem officialy so do you think this is wise ??? the benifit of all danish traders equal this stubed newspaper ??? and do you think its a royal behavior that all muslem is hurts with the most valiable thing from danish news paper and the queen refuse to apologize !!!!!! sorry garbage queen .. freedom of speak
realy i'm sad because this can make your country as target for what you make them a trrorest

Here in the US, polititians are always having to appologize of remarks that offend some mimorities. I cannot say I was aware of the offense Muslims had over the depiction of Mohammed. But if I unknowingly offended another religion in that way, I would appologize. I think the paper should appologize even if they didn't understand the offense.

I don't agree with your hostilities or those of Rami. No, I don't think we are all going to live here in harmony, but there is no reason to further the anger. I am not for peace at any cost, I think the US needs to stay in Iraq so we can slap the snot out of the Iranian and Syrian Governments. I have several friends from Iran, but their leaders are terrible.

ya mate you can earn shit loads

freedom of speech does not mean you can insult people. but i guess the so called"civilized" people do not care about anybody but themselves. I m glad this happened becase it proves to me that we muslims are the best in the world. I am a plaestinian and my father never taught me to disrespect jewish pzople. on the contrary we have a lot of respect to all prophets including Ibrahim, Jacob, Issac, and Jesus, may allah bless them all. so for all my musmims brothers, you must be happy that you are musliml and ask allah to make all people muslims. to the danish people, please tech your kids how to truly care about others

please dont let this conflict excalate further. its twelve pictures………. if I were a muslim i would laugh and think they arent very clever at jyllands posten i wont have anything to do with them no more, at least if you cant let this case blow over boycut jyllands posten they were the ones posting the pictures not the danish government.

From many Muslims, cartoonish excess

By Mona Eltahawy
Commentary by
Tuesday, January 24, 2006

Can we finally admit that Muslims have blown out of all proportion their outrage over 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad published in a Danish newspaper last September? In the latest twist, last week both the Organization for the Islamic Conference and the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned a Norwegian newspaper for reprinting the drawings - a decision the publication defended as protecting freedom of expression.

The initial printing of the cartoons in Denmark led to death threats being issued against the artists, demonstrations in Kashmir, and condemnation from 11 countries. What did any of this achieve but prove the original point of the newspaper's culture editor, that artists in Europe were censoring themselves because they feared Muslim reaction? He commissioned the cartoons after hearing that Danish artists were too scared to illustrate a children's book about the prophet.

While one cartoon was particularly offensive because it showed the prophet as wearing a turban with a bomb attached to it, a great deal of the anger had to do with the mere depiction of the prophet. Muslims seem to forget that just because they are prohibited from representing the prophet in any way, this does not apply to everybody else. Even with regards to the egregious cartoon showing the prophet with a bomb, Muslim reaction was exaggerated. This should have remained an internal Danish issue. Muslim groups in Denmark have been pursuing a legal course and have vowed to appeal a prosecutor's refusal to file charges against the newspaper.

Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen was right not to intervene, insisting the government has no say over media - the argument used by Arab leaders when they are asked about anti-Semitism in their media, by the way. But in a New Year's speech, Rasmussen condemned "any expression, action or indication that attempts to demonize groups of people on the basis of their religion or ethnic background."

What should have remained a local issue turned into a diplomatic uproar that Muslims otherwise rarely provoke when fighting for their rights around the world. Perhaps the Muslim governments who spearheaded the campaign - led by Egypt - felt this was an easy way to

burnish their Islamic credentials at a time when domestic Islamists are stronger than they have been in many years.

Must we really boycott Danish products, as one e-mail I received exhorted? And why did an audience member at last month's Arab Thought Foundation conference in Dubai insist on delivering a lecture on the Danish cartoons, instead of focusing on the topic of the panel, namely Arab media and terrorism? Of all the issues that plague the Muslim world today, are our priorities cartoons published in a newspaper in a country inhabited by less than 6 million people? If we really want to pick a fight with the West, have we forgotten that 500 Muslim men continue to be detained without charge at the makeshift prison run by the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which last week marked its fourth anniversary?
http://www.dailystar.com.lb

Here are a few facts we should remember. However offensive any of the 12 cartoons were, they did not incite violence against Muslims. For an example of incitement, though, one must go back a few weeks before the cartoons were published. In August, the Danish authorities withdrew for three months the broadcasting license of a Copenhagen radio station after it called for the extermination of Muslims. Those were real threats and the government protected Muslims - the same government later condemned for not punishing the newspaper that published the cartoons.

Second, the cartoon incident belongs at the very center of the kind of debate that Muslims must have in the European countries where they live - particularly after the Madrid train bombings of 2003 and the London subway bombings of 2005. While right-wing anti-immigration groups whip up Islamophobia in Denmark, Muslim communities wallow in denial over the increasing role of their own extremists.

As just one example, last August Fadi Abdullatif, the spokesman for the Danish branch of the militant Hizb-ut-Tahrir organization, was charged with calling for the killing of members of the Danish government. He distributed leaflets calling on Muslims in Denmark to go to Fallujah in Iraq and fight the Americans, and to kill their own leaders if they obstructed them. Police in Denmark have been on alert since the London bombings, after which at least three extremist Web sites warned that Denmark could be the next target. There are 500 Danish troops working alongside American and British troops in Iraq.

Not only does Hizb-ut-Tahrir, an organization banned in many Muslim countries, have a branch in Denmark, but Abdullatif has a history of calling for violence that he then justifies by referring to freedom of speech - the very notion the Danish newspaper made use of to publish the cartoons. In October 2002, Abdullatif was found guilty of distributing racist propaganda after Hizb-ut-Tahrir handed out leaflets that made threats against Jews by citing verses from the Koran. He was given a 60-day suspended sentence.

Abdullatif used the Koran to justify incitement to violence! And we still wonder why people associate Islam with violence?

Muslims must honestly examine why there is such a huge gap between the way we imagine Islam and our prophet, and the way both are seen by others. Our offended sensibilities must not be limited to the Danish newspaper or the cartoonist, but to those like Fadi Abdullatif whose actions should be regarded as just as offensive to Islam and to our reverence for the prophet. Otherwise, we are all responsible for those Danish cartoons.

The US reduced troops last month by 20,000 not 20%. This is because they sent 20,000 extra just for the election. They damn sure didn't come home out of fear. I am not against Islam. If you read my words, I am against the governments of Iran and Syria. I have friends from Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Turkey and Israel. I have nothing against any people of the world for their race or religion. Iran and Syria are run by fanatics that are supporting terrorist.
