Its over for Palestine..

Yep.. Now they\'ve finally done it.


THEY BURNED THE DANISH FLAG!

Do they know what they have unleashed upon themselves? The WRATH of SAMWISE .  

If you want the back-story its basically this:

A Danish newspaper (Jyllands-Posten) published a provocative cartoon of the Muslim Prophet Muhammed, the same cartoon was later used in an Norwegian newspaper.

This has sparked a crisis between these two nations (and probably us (Sweden) aswell since they cant seem to tell us apart ) and some Muslim countries. For example; Libya has closed its embassy in Denmark, and Scandinavians have been told to leave the Gazastrip within 72 hours.

I haven’t seen the cartoon myself, Samwise do you know where I can find them?


Haha, I love the handwritten “SELL”.

Lazy SOB.  Easy to find, because of all the controversy.

They\'re only hurting themselves by cutting off trade with those nations.

Surprised those guys burning the flag are able to get their hands on a Euro newspaper, much less read it.

Who\'s the white guy in the bottom cartoon?

Funny how the door doesn\'t swing both ways. They can do it to one country and publish shit like that but when that country does it to them, they are in an uproar. I think they now see how it feels to be on the receiving end.

Those comics are freaking HILARIOUS.

I think it\'s because Molems in Denmark has told people in their home country what happend. And they told other people etc. I mean, they\'re probably all related.

I\'m quite surprised what an uproar this has caused. It happened months ago and besides a few people being pissed, it didn\'t seem too bad. And now suddenly almost every Islamic country is boycotting Danish products.

At least it\'s only 1% of our annual exports, so even if ALL our products were boycotted, I don\'t think it\'d have much impact. Still, it bothers me.

Eh, unless you get a shitload of people boycotting, it is just gonna be like when the Americans were boycotting France. It was just pointless and didn\'t hurt them.

I can\'t believe the paper apologized!  Sammy, you warned us about our freedoms being lost!?!?!

Oh the wonders of blogs...

Hungary sides with Denmark. Says the Hungarian foreign minister: "To us, freedom of speech is a cornerstone of a functioning democracy". The arab reaction is "unfitting".

In the arab parts of Palestine, the Danish representative office in Ramallah was fired on yesterday, and today demonstrations burned pictures of, among others, prime minister Fogh, US president Bush and Israeli prime minister Olmert.

 
In Iraq, a terrorist has issued a fatwa against the Danish battalion stationed there.

In Sudan, the foreign minister has urged "all sudanese companies and institutions to stop the omport of Danish products".

In Bahrain, the parliament has passed a resolution calling for boycott of Danish goods, and demanding apologies from the Danish government and the Danish queen.

A like resolution from the Egyptian parliament has brought EU trade commisioner Peter Mandelson to threaten opening an investigation into it, since government-sponsored boycotts are a breach of WTO-rules.

At the same time the Council of Arab Ministers of the Interior representing 17 arab ministers has demanded the Danish government punish those responsible for the 12 drawings.
Suicide bombers are threatening attacks on Denmark.

In Denmark, things are heating up, too:

Tuesday afternoon saw the web versions of papers Politiken and Ekstrabladet crash again after another hacker attack.

Likewise tuesday afternoon, the editorial offices of Jyllands-Posten in Århus and Copenhagen were evacuated after an english-speaking person telephoned in a bomb threat. About 300 employees were evacuated.

Prime minister Fogh urges against any counter-boycot of moslems in Denmark, as text messages are circulating calling for one such.

At the same time, Danish internal intelligence is urging against following any of the calls for demonstrations against the islamic aggression.

Yes its a rightwing Danish blog, but that is all you Danes have to fight against these bearded, turban wearing crazies.

They apologized for hurting their feelings so to speak, they didn\'t apologize for bringing the drawings. Both the paper and the Danish government has stood their ground on the issue of freedom of speech.

they really need to grow a damn sense of humor. I bet the only thing they laugh at is when people they hate die.

as for the issue..my respect for that whole region (sweden, denmark..all the same to me,lol) went up. Plus they have some of the best metal bands.

Thanks FatalXception.

Having seen those drawings I find the situation even more hilarious! I mean.. no.. There is no understanding this. Fanatics (not exclusive to Islam btw).

Taking things a weee bit to far, AYE?
Apology from the queen?
Next, deport all pigs or we will never forgive you. No more bacon for Denmark.

Remember the Atlantic Wall and the concept of Fortress Europe?  I think you guys need to reevaluate that concept somewhere near Greece.

Hehe.. Maybe.

We already have a \'fortress sweden\'  according to one of our newspaper artists.



I think he makes fun of the Swedes negativity twoards anything which has to do with Europe.

He has made some good peices.


Very true.

This one is for Giga.

After browsing through numerous posts on this subject through various boards from all leanings almost everyone outside of the Muslim world is in agreement on this.  This is freedom of speech and what is building up here is a war of cultures - free society vs. Islam.

Now we have numerous European papers reprinting the cartoons - good for them.  I guess what pisses me off the most is that Muslims as a whole think the rest of the world should abide by their rules and customs.  These people aren\'t whining about the fact that he has a bomb on his head they are going nuts over his image alone!  

Islam is in desperate need of a Renaissance, much like what Europe had back at the end of the middle ages.
