I have to ask. Islamofacists are pissed because of cartoons that depict the so-called "prophet" Mohammad. They burn buildings and threaten physical violence and mayhem in retaliation for the caricatures and the mainstream media gives them front page attention. When they destroy synagogues and produce cartoons and tv programing depicting Jews as pigs and the usual sterotypical caricatures and noone protests. You sure as hell don't see Jews burning down buildings and threatening to behead people over it. Why do Islamofacists receive a free pass from the mainstream media? Usual lopsided reporting on the part of CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. No real big surprise there, huh?
When a crucifix was presented in a jar of urine, it was considered art. Below, I would like to present The Rogue Jew's version of art...Enjoy!
* Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
* A Muslim attacks a missionary children’s school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.
* Let’s go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage
* Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.
* Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.
* Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage … but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Perhaps when the Islamonazis begin to find beheading a young christian girl offensive or flying planes into buildings as offensive as they are to me, then perhaps my level of sensitivity will rise, but till then...Let them eat ham!

IMO, the people behind the cartoon have the same mentality who want the Talmud abolished as hate literature, are responsible for the Happy Holidays FUD replacing Merry Christmas, etc...
A consistently increasing trend utilized by the left has been the enforcement of extremists religious-like “morality (PC and atheism)” and exploiting the secular nature of western democracies with the intent of eroding support of competing ideologies (please keep in mind that this very same mentality has killed more people in the last century then the combined concerned religions of the last millennial)
If I were in the “game”, I'd likely suggest a symbolic 2 week boycott of the Danish publisher, the ownership, all holdings and printings by religious leaders and members concerned with their own religious freedoms. (heh, imagine if the pope asked for a voluntary 2 week boycott of a product to show solidarity in respect of religion).
Possible benefits- The unified buying power is truly enormous, especially when rights of dignity or expression are infringed on by the state or company.
Offering in-road to slowly acclimatize populations to secular governments. Mistakes will happen and can be capitalized on so long as they are truly accidental =P.
This is assuming that secular governments or at least a willingness by governments to commit to basic human rights (including expression) in the Arab world is a goal
Danish authority's condemnation was a mistake, the paper is responsible for making a poor choice, not the government. By offering an apology, they implied responsibility and gave a authoritative figurehead to blame. At best, they should have said it was tasteless and would not have been a first choice. Their royalty should stick with what it knows and killed a cousin or something.
though i really do think that the muslim reactions to this caricature is quite outrageous, and also considering the fact that it was a marginal right-wing christian paper who printed them in norway, just complete crazy, it is a point that the danish editor refused to print caricatures/comi drawing depicting jesus because he felt this might upset christians, bu gladly depicted caricatures of muhammed ... so i find it hard to believe his intensions were anywhere near "good" ...
still ... the reactions are crazy. totally crazy.
