Fucking Islamists AKA Muhammed Drawings

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Late in 2005 the [Danish Newspaper Jyllands Posten published] 12 satirical caricatures of the Islamic prophet Muhammad on September 30, 2005, including one suggesting he had a bomb in his turban. The drawings were printed in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten as a satirical illustration to go along an article on self-censorship and freedom of speech, commenting on the fact that no artist was willing to illustrate a childrens book by the Danish writer Kåre Bluitgen about Muhammad without remaining anonymous, allegedly for fear of revenge from extremist Muslims, as depicting Muhammad is prohibited according to Islamic belief.

While the newspaper maintains that the drawings were an exercise in free speech, many Muslims in Denmark and further afield viewed them as a provocation. Two newspaper cartoonists were reportedly driven into hiding after death threats were issued against them and the paper has revised and heightened its security procedures.

International consequences:
- On January 30th, five Palestinian gunmen stormed the EU office in Gaza City, while ten gunmen armed with assault rifles, anti-tank weaponry and grenade launchers, stood outside and demanded an apology for the drawings. No shots were fire, nor was there any injuries. The gunmen left after approximately fifteen minutes.
- Islamic Jihad gives Danes, Norwegians and Swedes 48 hours to leave the Gaza Strip.
- Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades gives Danes and Swedes 72 hours to leave the area.
- OIC (Organization of Islamic conferences) are headed to the UN with a resolution that forbids attacks on religious beliefs.
- The flag of Denmark has been burned in Nablus and Hebron in Palestine.
Serveral countries have recalled their ambassadors, and Danish media are reporting on serveral attacks on Danish citizens in the middle east, and the entire middle east are boycotting Danish products.

WHAT IS IT THOSE FUCKING IDIOTS DON'T GET? the Danish goverment can't do jack, freedom of speach is embedded in the constitution, it would take atleast 1 - 2 years to change this, besides it would require a referendom, and the vast majority are not going to vote for a law that limits freedom of speach anyway. It was printed in a fucking independent newspaper, not in any public source.

They can burn our flag and boycott our products all that they like, but physically harm Danes because some newspaper printed something. Fucking nutjobs, just because they have currupt totalitarian regimes in complete control of their press, and they for the pittyfull lack of IQ accept it, shouldn't mean that we have too.

GAH! im soooooo angry!
