Can't take a joke

Michelle Malkin blogged Brussels Journal reports on how a Danish newspaper and its cartoonists are being threatened by Muslim extremists for publishing cartoons about the prophet Muhammad deemed offensive

The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten is being protected by security guards and several cartoonists have gone into hiding after the newspaper published a series of twelve cartoons about the prophet Muhammad. According to the Islam it is blasphemous to make images of the prophet. Muslim fundamentalists have threatened to bomb the paper’s offices and kill the cartoonists.

The newspaper published the cartoons when a Danish author complained that he could find no-one to illustrate his book about Muhammad. Jyllands-Posten wondered whether there were more cases of self-censorship regarding Islam in Denmark and asked twelve illustrators to draw the prophet for them. Carsten Juste, the paper’s editor, said the cartoons were a test of whether the threat of Islamic terrorism had limited the freedom of expression in Denmark.


If they don't want us to laugh at them, they should stop being so funny.

I believe you have a few more, and particularly more "religious leaders" spreading and inciting violence

we are to respect your religion but your disbelieve must have limits.

I dont understand your point

Not all Muslim are terrorist.

I recognize that. In fact I would be willing to bet that 90% of the world's Moslems just want to live in peace. But the other 10% is giving your faith a very bad name.

there are people out there which use Islam as shield to attack.I vow to the god of mine and yours they are not Muslims.

The more that you and those like you stand up and denounce them, the better it will be.
