<p>Interesting article. I haven’t researched this subject, so I don’t know all the details. I can see room for blame on both sides.</p>

<p>I’m not sure how credible or reliable this is, but I’ll post it anyway because I thought it was interesting. I found the link on Fark.com

<p>I’m not surprised at the lack of Muslim outrage for all of the activities listed above. What’s more disheartening was the lack of Western outrage when these things happened. When will we wake up??</p>

<p>I, for one, am planning to buy anything Danish.</p>

<p>there are three things you should not do either in public or nonpublic venues:</p>

<ol>
<li>Talk badly of someone’s Mother.</li>
<li>Politics while either you or someone else is holding a lethal weapon.</li>
<li>Some else’s religion unless you are immune against their rath in the name of God.</li>
</ol>

<p>

I can’t find anything made by the Danish. Do you have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Can you say Havarti??? Or how about:</p>

<p>** * Blue Castello
* Cream Havarti
* Danablu (Danish Blue)
* Danbo
* Danish Fontina
* Esrom
* Fynbo
* Havarti
* Maribo
* Molbo
* Mycella
* Saga

  • Samso **</p>

<p>Yeah, when Muslims become too radical, it’s very dangerous.
very very dangerous environment.
because they are too caught up in how much God will be “happy” with them, and they dont see the error of their logic.
you know, every religion gets made fun of, but this whole “burning of flags” is not the right way to tackle the problem.</p>

<p>“It rather looks as if the anger with which all Muslims are said to be burning needed some pretty determined stoking. Peter Mandelson, who seems to think that his job as European Trade Commissioner entitles him to pronounce on matters of faith and morals, accuses the papers that republished the cartoons of “adding fuel to the flames”; but those flames were lit (literally, as well as figuratively) by well-organised, radical Muslims who wanted other Muslims to get furious. How this network has operated would make a cracking piece of investigative journalism.”</p>

<p>If that’s indeed true. . that makes the whole situation even more ridiculous, there is seriously enough blood-shed in muslim countries, no need for more delirious radical muslims to start more problems.</p>

<p>I got so many pointless forwards to sign petitions and outrage against the cartoons and i ignored it all, no need to get all bent outta shape over a cartoon, geez. there are more important issues to worry about.</p>

<p>“I got so many pointless forwards to sign petitions and outrage against the cartoons and i ignored it all, no need to get all bent outta shape over a cartoon, geez. there are more important issues to worry about.”</p>

<p>Like poverty, lack of education and hope, the main reasons that the masses can be manipulated so well by their elites.</p>

<p>It is Trader Joe’s for me tomorrow. I am going on a Danish shopping spree. I will use all the money I have saved not buying French goods.</p>

<p>Seriously though while this all seems a trivial issue it has the potential of getting way out of control. There is serious backlash growing in the European street and the European political establishment is so overwhelmingly PC that there is no official way to vent this anger. With no “normal” outlet the backlash is apt to explode in violence which could spiral out of control.</p>

11

<p>This is a good example of why muslims in their community don’t speak out. If they do, they get arrested.</p>

<p>Here’s something else about the Danes. During WWII, they managed to rescue virtually all of the Danish Jews who were targeted for extermination camps by spiriting them out of the country or putting them into hiding. They were the ONLY European country where, when the Jews returned to their homes after the war, they found that their homes had been taken care of by their neighbors, and even their pets had been fed and cared for.</p>

<p>We’d better wake up soon. I happened to watch “Battleground” yesterday - a 1949 WWII movie about Bastogne. There is a great scene where a Lutheran Chaplain gives a sermon and speaks to the men - who are all starving and waiting for the Germans to come over the hill - that they have to remember why they were fighting fascism, that they had to remember this when they went home, and they couldn’t let anyone call them fools for fighting in the war against such evil" While listening, I couldn’t help substituting the word - “Islamofascist” for “fascist”. Unfortunately we’re in the same boat again and we’d better get to it.</p>

<p>This is a good time to pick up Konrad Lorenz book On Agggression and reread it. This clash of cultures is little more than primal tribalism not that it is any less dangerous for being so. Our technology of death has evolved faster than out social biological impulses. I fear if it wasn’t cartoons of a long dead pedarist that set this thing off it would be something equally ludicrous. Two schools of fish fighting over territory. One with a waxing population and the other a waning population.</p>

<p>“I can’t find anything made by the Danish. Do you have any suggestions?”</p>

<p>Well, you have a ton of danish pastries, very stylistic furniture, and wind turbines.</p>

16

<p>Get some Tuborg beer for your Superbowl party.</p>

17

<p>Danish ham, salt licorice (about a gazzilliom varieties), pickled herring of all kinds, aquavit (a necessary accompaniment of the herring), cheeses including good Danish blue and jarlsberg, beer (Tuborg), and butter coolies.</p>

<p>Beautiful and affordable watches available at U.S. department stores.</p>

19

<p>I just learned/realized that Lego originated in Denmark. If I built a bust of Muhammad with Lego building blocks, would that please Allah? How about if I put a fancy skagen watch on him? </p>

<p>Ahh, so many Danish pastries – so little time.</p>

<p>Don’t say or print anything against the muslims, but it’s OK for them to say or do anything they want against any other religion. Until the silent majority of muslims speaks out forcefully, there will be no stopping this. Jews and Christains speaking out against their reaction merely fuels the fire. Worse than cartoons have been heaped upon Jews and Christians throughout the centuries by muslims but that’s OK, because the whole world must be muslim.</p>
