Terrorists cant stop Armies, Money and Oil.

This is a kind of weird situtation.

CNN wont even shop the cartoon image that started this all strickly as news(probably because it fears fo ts reporters lives), yet Muslim papers often run terrible anti-semetic images and no one bothers to complain.

I only could find one site posting the oh so evil image.

Personally I think the picture itself is silly(not funny) but I understand its insulting. However censorship at gun point is a bit more offensive.

The proper response to the complaint is as follows:

"What, you can't take a joke? Get over yourselves."

Given some of the abusive political cartoons that I have seen in my day of Jimmy Carter, Ronnie Ray Gun, WJ Clinton, Dick "Ski Slope Nose" Nixon and GW Bush, I want to know how some Muslim Arab schmoe gets an entitlement not to be poked fun of or caricatured. He doesn't, unless cowards back away from the exercise of free speech.

Gut check, Denmark. How will you handle this nonsense?

Whichever twit first coined the phrase "hate speech" needs to go to that special level of Hell, the one where they send child molesters and people who talk to loudly in the theatre. (Thanks, Shepard Book.)

Note the sense of entitlement in the statements whinging about this mockery. Whose script do you think they are reading from? Where was it first written? This is not a very original wheeze.

I am reminded of the tight arsed reaction to (milder) humor in the movie and the book "The Name Of The Rose" by Umberto Eco? I am also reminded of the old penalties for saying things nasty about a king, which was ruled as treason: drawn and quartered, et cetera.

How quaintly medeival. :P
