    problem is in islam it is a sin to have an image of the prophet. stupid cartoons but the editor was far stupider to publish them.

    Does anyone have links to the cartoons that caused the riots,
    I refer not to these 12 but to others that were allegedly shown by Danish muslims back home.

    It took a very long time to fan the flames..

    Anyone got that farside cartoon where you know who hears a knock on the door ?

    Yeah there are all the spelling variations of muhammad etc. - but most of it is infantile and involved goats :rolleyes: and is very offensive mainly because it isn't funny.

    Muhammad, Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet ?
    He must be signing on !

    Still he don't have as many birthdays as Mrs Windsor .

    still haven't found these cartoons

    Actually it's the first "anti-west" one I've seen that is funny rather than just trying to have shock value.

    You find that funny?

    In fairness, the (supposed*) retaliation is disproportionate...
    Muslims: "you print a picture of a Prophet (Not deity, nor is there a specific, or explicit ban in the Koran on images of the Prophet Muhammad. So, we print a picture of a 20th century fascists in bed with a minor, belonging to a race which he and his followers persecuted."
    ..sounds fair...

    * Arab publications have been printing anti-Jewish stuff for decades

    Relative to the other "anti-west" and the majority of "anti-islam" cartoons I've seen. Again all the others are just shock value devoid of any humour.

    TBH the muslim cartoons against the Jews aren't doing them any favours, because many rasists in the west would be anti-jewish too. Also there is the very valid point that the laws of libel and slander could be used by holocoust survivors because these events are in living memory for some people. Most of Mohammad's immediate family are no longer with us.

    You'd think there would be some half-decent anti-danish cartoons by now

    If only those protestors got the treatment like the 1950s Irish got...

    "NO DOGS OR IRISH" springs to mind.

    Idiots the lot of them. Protesting about cartoons! What next, the RSPCA will protest at Tom and Jerry, looking to have them banned because they employ cruelty to cats!

    GROW UP! - Wasters the lot of them.
