Looks like the radical Muslim response has been swift, with chants of "Death to..." heard around Gaza.

I'm having mixed feelings about this one. What do ya'll think is more important? Freedom of speech or respect of other's religions??
This isn't the cartoon that has caused the uproar, but poor taste none the less.

But disrespecting other's religion isn't the problem; it's the reaction and repercussions from those that are offended.

I agree on the latter part, that is the problem.

Here are the comics. Some of them are pretty good: http://www.di2.nu/files/Muhammed_car...ds_Posten.html I especially liked the virgin one.
Within the last week a number of other European papers which, in support of the Danish paper, reprinted the drawings. It's pissing off quite a few folks.
What I find funny is that these Muslims honestly believe the Government of Denmark (and now other EU countries) need to appease to their needs and requests.
Tit for tat, *******s! We'll stop exercising our free speech rights when you do something worthwhile to stop terrorism. The attached picture pretty much sums it all up for me...

The ironic rage of the Muslim world increases! Makes sense to protest a caricature of Mohammad with a bomb his head by threatening to blow up buildings and kill innocent EU civilians! Yay! You see, it's this type of consistent and large scale crap from that part of the world that makes me want to slap a derogatory label on them that lojasmo would attack me for.
Couldn't have said it better for this case. I'm so tired of those savages.

After Theodore Van Gogh's (grand nephew of the painter) was murdered for making a provocative film about radical Islam called Submission a Dutch Senator proclaimed, "We have been tolerant of the intolerant for too long."
