How dare these Muslims tell the free world what we can and cannot do...if they don%u2019t like how we live, they can stay in their own country.
Islam should be banned in Western civilization.

I''m glad they printed the picture. I see this story did not do so.

Well, OK, then since my religion worships Heat Miser and any profane use of the word "fire" is blasphemy, and don''t try to tell me it isn''t, infidel, well then I guess they got it coming to them when I blow them up with the power of Heat Miser concentrated in a wad of holy C4.

at least the Danes still have freedom of press.

"America bombs it''s own towers for fun and profit"

I''ll bet...LOL!

Next week, they plan to sent reporters out to yell fire in a theater. And if no news and attention comes to Denmark, they''ll try it by actually setting fires.

Enthusiasm test? The war on terror is losing it''s spunk... how about a war on the Danish. Wooden shoes... come on, these people are uncivilized and backward... go get ''em US military!

Well, good for the newspaper. I don''t know when these nuts are going to figure out that people can disagree with each other, even despise another person actions, or words, we can fuss and fight, and even not speak to each other. But to run around killing people unless they are directly threatening your life is insane.

If rioting, mayhem, and murder result from publishing the cartoon, you can be sure that the Muslim apologists and sympathiers will be out in full force defending the Muslim reaction. Spend some time reading what is posted and you can soon make a list of who they are. Sadly, a cartoon means more to them than human life. Is this the difference between modern western culture and the Muslim world?

The Danes are near the forfront of anti Muslim bigotry and the Danish Queen and the Lutherin State Religion lead the way.

The queen, quoted in a authorised biography, said people had to take the "challenge" of Islam seriously.

"We have let this issue float around for too long, because we are tolerant and rather lazy," she said.
The queen said Muslims should learn Danish properly, so they would not feel excluded from society.

In the book Margrethe, written by journalist Annelise Bistrup, the queen is quoted as voicing disapproval of "these people for whom religion is their entire life".

Calling for opposition to radical Islam, she said: "We have to run the risk of being labelled in an unflattering way, because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."

More than 400,000 of Denmark''s 5.4 million inhabitants are immigrants, but only about 150,000 are Muslims, amounting to 3% of the population.

However, that still makes them the second-largest religious group in Denmark behind the Lutheran-Evangelical Church, of which the queen is supreme governor and to which 85% of the population belong.

The Danish Queen was at pains in her autobiography to minimize the role her father, the Danish King, played in standing up for the Danish Jews against the Nazis.

jncc1701: the point of your post, however, was really about religion in the public/ political sphere, so I almost completely am on board with you there. Not 100%, unless you''d agree, for example, that the civil-rights movement was politics of a kind, and M.L. King was political in his way. If you agreed with that, and agreed that his openly politico-religious appeal was pretty groovy and quite alright, then I''m with you 100%.

jncc1701, there is much difference between the "priests who are the enemies of liberty" (I agree in essence) and the doers of right who are guided by the love of god. To cast off god as "Zeus or Santa" is, well, OK it''s a da*n funny line, guy, you made me laugh, but still. This is not wisdom.
