Its both ironic and funny. The reason that there is not supposed to be any type of image of Mohammed is that it is feared it will lead to idolatry, of which the definition is: Blind or excessive devotion to something


I wonder if islamic countries consider it excessive devotion to completely wig out, burn things and have people killed over islam. Probably not or there is some justification for it all.

It just means I'll buy more Danish pastries.

LOL this is like "Freedom Fries"

The Koran itself has become a subject of idolatry, but you would never be able to explain that concept to some of these freaks burning down their fellow countrymen's places of employment.

"We hate you Danes, so we will destroy this American franchise and put Achmed's family out in the street now that he no longer is employed. That will teach you to blaspheme."

An Islamic Cleric has now formed a collective that is offering 1 million dollars for the death of said cartoonists.

Interesting, but his response is if we can put a bounty on Bin Laden then it's only fair if he puts one on the cartoonists.

Curious how the 'toons are equal to a man responsible for so much death.

Fandros

Man, those backwards A-rabs are so behind. Our highest congress of legislators renamed food as a snipe against a foreign country years ago!

Welcome to last year Iranians? :p

It's the sort of opportunism that runs rampant in clerical circles when something like this (the cartoon thing) crops up. The cleric boosts his street cred with the fanatics, acquires funding from supporters in the shadows and -- should one of the cartoonists be murdered through all this -- claims Allah struck the man down, reinforcing the cycle. Once they equate the cartoons with blasphemy, anything is open for comparison.

Liberty cabbage anyone?

The irony of protesting cartoons poking fun at Muslims' prediliction to violence by being violent is lost on them.

And those wise enough to speak against this folly risk their lives in doing so (this, I think, is a large part why we don't hear more voices defiant against these protests).

A Rose of Mohammed by any other name is still a Danish pastry. I mean Rose of Mohammed.

If ignorance is bliss, these are some damn ecstatic SoB's.
