Hmm, I am not having problems. I copied the item in my second post. It's a t-shirt someone is selling with the mohammed/bomb cartoon on the front.2sisters said:I'm having trouble getting the link to open. I'm not sure if it is just me or the link.
I saw some political cartoons (ironically) saying maybe all future wars will be fought with cartoons, lol! We just insult each other with cartoons and nothing else.KatherineQ said:Iran is encouraging the publication of Holocaust cartoons.
I think that might be a great idea - publish some really offensive stuff, then can we all get over this? Let muslims who are extremely offended publish something they think is the most offensive thing they can say right back at those who published the Mohammed cartoons, then let's get on with life.

Sheesh.

I am quoting myself here...because it is a very scary situation here in the nordic countries. Yes, there is alot of violence targeted at Denmark, Norway and Sweden......as well as any country that reprinted the original cartoon...which is not the one being shown on t-shirt or in Arabic newspapers.petra said:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060212/ap_on_re_mi_ea/prophet_drawings

This is just a basic , simple piece of background,
yes, flags are being burned, fires, shooting,,embassies trashed and people targeted.
travel has been banned for safety of the nordic citizens to many countries.
Although the cartoon may have been in bad taste, there isn't any excuse for the violent demonstrations; it says a lot about the nature of the countries in the Mideast, and even more about their leaders. Don't these demonstrators have jobs they should be working at?? For the leaders to not only condone the demonstrations, but encourage them, is simply not acceptable. Perhaps when they run out of flags to burn, and embassies to destroy, they will find themselves completely isolated from the rest of the world. Just because they don't believe in the freedoms, that the rest of cherish, isn't any reason for us to change. Do they really think they are going to gain our respect by the way they are acting??? I think not. They are just looking for any reason to shoot their guns, burn flags, and destroy buildings. Odd that they picked Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to demonstrate against--apparently they wanted to make sure they didn't leave anyone out, and wanted to be sure that everyone picked sides--no neutral countries in this conflict.petra said:I am quoting myself here...because it is a very scary situation here in the nordic countries.

It started back in Sept when a Dane was writing a childrens book on the Islamic faith...he sought out illustrators to draw some pictures of Mohammed and other symbols related to the Islamic faith. Apparently--in Islam, the last drawings of mohammed were in about the 1400's..it has basically been seen later as heresy to illustrate their prophet. No one would do the illustrations
for fear of reprecussions.
