Say what you will about the courage of the Euros, but it is the European press that has the balls to challenge the muslims. In our country the press and the left will only attack Christianity. For some reason the left is always quiet when it comes to Islam but not in Europe. Papers in France,Germany, Spain and Switzerland have all backed the Danes and repreinted all of the cartoons about the prophet Muhammed (I am not sure on the spelling because it changes all the time). pics
This is courageous and needs to be done. Of course the Muslims are going ape shit. They are boycotting Danish goods and some are escalating to violence. article
CNN does not have the balls to show the photos, they have them blurred out when covering the story.
"A Danish government can never apologise on behalf of a free and independent newspaper. This is basically a dispute between some Muslims and a newspaper," said Danish PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
Compare that to the US governments position.
"Inciting religious or ethnic hatred in this manner is not acceptable," said State Department press officer Janelle Hironimus.
Now compare to Egypts ambassador to Denmark
"Mona Omar Attia, Egypt's ambassador to Denmark, said after a meeting with Rasmussen that she was satisfied with the position of the Danish government but noted the prime minister had said he could not interfere with the press. 'This means the whole story will continue and that we are back to square one again. The government of Denmark has to do something to appease the Muslim world,' Attia said."
Do they now?
And to the Arab street.
"Whoever defames our prophet should be executed," said Ismail Hassan, 37, a tailor who marched through the pouring rain along with hundreds of others in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
"Bin Laden our beloved, Denmark must be blown up," protesters in Ramallah chanted.

Good post. Disturbing pics.
The US media cracks me up. I have seen the cartoons and admit they are in bad taste. That being said, I don't understnd why CNN won't show them. When movies or obscure Broadway plays claiming Jesus was a homosexual or that he had an affair with Mary Magdelene are showing, CNN and other media groups are abuzz about them. They show clips, interview the actors and crew, etc, etc.
As far as the protests are concerned, I am glad they are happening. I think Europe really needs a wake-up call. There is still a big part of the Euro popuation that is sympathic, or at least indifferent, to the the cause of radical Islam. Now we have riots, embassy burnings, etc - all over a cartoon. Hopefully, the Euros are paying attention.
