Iran summons Swedish envoy over cartoon
2007-08-28
Iran summoned a Swedish diplomat to its Foreign Ministry on Monday to protest against a blasphemous cartoon of Holy Prophet (PTUI PBUH) in a Swedish newspaper, the Swedish Foreign Ministry said.

“Gunilla von Bahr, Sweden’s charge d’affaires, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry today where she received a protest from the Iranian government,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anna Bjoerkander said.The Iranian government told Von Bahr the cartoon was “offensive to Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]”, Bjoerkander said, refusing to disclose any further details of the meeting. The cartoon was drawn by Swedish artist Lars Vilks.

#3  Sweden is a swamp of Islamic radicalism and they just can't bring themselves to do anything about it. We have a friend who is a doctor (OB/GYN) in Malmo and she is petrified everytime a muslim woman comes into her clinic. Of course, the reason is the woman brings her man and he has to be dealt with first. If it was up to our friend (a very typical liberal Swede) she would deport them all just so she can get a good nights sleep and not have to worry about having her throat cut if she somehow ended up insulting the man by asking him to leave the room for the examination.

Permit me to observe that in light of how offensive Iran's sponsorship of the Holocaust denial cartoons was, this is less than even weak tea. Yet another well-justified reason on the ever-lengthening laundry list of reasons to kick Iran's worthless ass back to the stone age Pre-Cambrian Period.
