Aren't all cartoons meant to antagonize,stir,get reactions and for fun?
Why should muslims world wide ,be indifferent to them because they were told that they were bad 6 months after being published?

What and who incited them to kill,terrorise and destroy and who provided the new Danish flags and US flags?

Open your eyes of understanding, it is another plot to denigrate Christians and Christianity,western world and freedom of press. Come on!

Everyone stop Muslim bashing.

I agree about provoking thought etc, but what thoughts is this meant to provoke?

Say you go and draw things about the most important thing to me, i will be outraged too. They have a right to feel this way.

If cartoons are meant to degrade and anagonise, who are they entertaining? The target market MUST BE non muslim people like you who are afraid and perhaps racist. Give you narrow minded people a laugh at others expense.

This is dispicable and whether it is muslims or whoever, it is wrong.

Give these guys some understanding, and treat others how you would like to be treated. You dont need to be on any religious side of the fence to see that

None are so blind as those who cannot see, Dave.

This Letter : Alex Epstein from the ARI institute sums it up nicely:
http://www.aynrand.org/site/News2?JServSessionIdr010=ugiqv1saj1.app7a&page=NewsArticle&id=11771&news_iv_ctrl=1021

It was not published in the Green Weekly. Hmmmm I wonder why.

The whole cartoon affair was an exercise in hysterical stupidity and not worth all the time taken up with it.
The question should be asked,why did the Danish imams cart them all over Europe and the Middle East? What was their reason for doing so?What did they hope to gain from doing so?
The answers may be enlightening if someone answered the questions honestly.

Savagepencil,Leigh,dee,dobbadan and ALL, have all said what needs to be said,and the Alex Epstein article is spot on as well.
What bemuses me is that writers like Dave Smith and the gaggle of apologists for the Islamacists that have gone before on OLO have peddled the line that it is we who are wrong.
No Mr Smith it is you who are peddling rubbish. The dopey cartoons were first published in an Egyptian news paper. Further Ismalic art which they are continually telling us how wonderful it was/is, actually has innumerable depictions of Mo.
As for jokes about Mo, one only has to look at his record of complete deviancy to see what a joke this religion must be.
By the way we brought up three children all university graduates none of whom were into drugs et al, never in trouble with police and had no need for any sort of mainstream religion in order to be good people.
