Back to the OP, indeed, faceking
I find it compelling, no sad, that most Americans aren't reacting and outraged at the response of many Muslims (nee Bin Laden) to the Danish cartoon drawings. You are still in denial, if you think it's Iraq that has these ppl pissed off, you are in denial if you think "reaching across the aisle" and "change and hope" is our number one priority. For anyone here who is not 100/0 and not abstinent unless married... they want you and your lifestyle dead. Do any of you get that? Seriously. To think there is so much hang up on the Christian right (which is getting weaker by the decade), yet a truer threat exists, yet there's much "freedom of their beliefs" and/or "we need to make nice". What else did the entire country of Denmark do to cause such outrage/threats?

It was/is a political satire cartoon.
Outrage at Cartoons Still Tests the Danes - New York Times
Free speech is now a Hate Crime here in the UK too. The comedian Ben Elton has said the BBC is too "scared" to poke fun at Islam.
BBC is too scared to allow jokes about Islam, says Ben Elton | the Daily Mail
The British Broadcasting Corporation is a public service broadcaster, established by a Royal Charter and funded by the licence fee that is paid by UK households. An accompanying agreement recognises its editorial independence and sets out its public obligations in detail. However, in blatant contravention of this Charter, you will hear nothing criticising or even questioning the tenets of Islam within its broadcasts. The inexorable and undeniable Islamicisation of the whole of northern Europe is being accelerated by this shameful quiescence in the face of Islamic Fifth Columnists - most of them born here - who will literally stop at nothing to destroy us and everything we hold dear.
Denmark has several organizations working to stop the Islamists. One of the newest and most active is the SIAD, which roughly translates in English to Stop the Islamification of Denmark. SIAD is made up of ordinary Danes with a peaceful and democratic message to all. Yet the Danish Minister for Justice, Lene Espersen, is denying them the right to publicly and peacefully go out and demonstrate, for fear that they will create a public disorder by being attacked by Islamist groups.
Yes, you read that right. SIAD is prohibited from peacefully demonstrating because it will cause a violent reaction from others.
Espersen has declared emergency laws against SIAD, since courts have upheld their right to protest. On January 13, a peaceful SIAD meeting (not a protest) was broken up by Islamist gangs. Three SIAD members were hurt. What on earth is going on in Denmark? You cant voice your opinion peacefully because it will promote violence from a group that you are saying is violent.
I also find it disappointing that there does not seem to be more recognition that the jihadists are seeking destruction of everyone with whom they disagree and the imposition, by force, of their cruel laws on the world. ... The posters who have recounted actual experiences with individuals and/or governments that adhere to this ideology should be heeded. That is the real way of the world as they know.
amadeupname, it is frightening that we have learned nothing from the lessons from 1930s Germany as to how easily a vocal and politically sophisticated minority can come to power through the inaction of a silent majority. And Vince, you may have lived in a Muslim country for six years, but I am quite simply stunned that you are so naive as to blithely believe that
... They don't want me and my life style dead. I don't feel threatened at all. Of course Bin Ladin and his friends want us all dead. ... Your xenophobic opinions are only helping them. It smacks of the arrogant Northern European intolerance that I encounter all the time.
Vince, hello, wake-up call - they
do indeed want you and your lifestyle dead - and
then some:
If
anyone is still sceptical of that fact, then I
strongly urge you to watch Fitna.
Watch it now - it is 15 minutes long and has been removed from nearly every website by the cowards that I have referred to above.
Watch it this minute because as I said, Free speech is now a hate crime in northern Europe.
