Tripoli Defines as “Provocative” Qaddafi Cartoons
2006-05-04
Tripoli expressed its protest against the 12 cartoons of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi published in Bulgarian newspaper Novinar defining them as “provocative and improvident”, online edition of TV station Al Jazeera comments.

In relation to this the Libyan embassy to Bulgaria handed a protest note to the Bulgarian government. On his part Bulgaria’s President Georgi Parvanov apologized to the Libyan Ambassador to Sofia Zaher bin Shaaban and assured him it was an “isolated case” which will not influence the good relations between the two countries, Al Jazeera notes.

Toon rage quickly followed by submissive postures from Euro governments. Anyone see a pattern developing here? When will they make their first big push against an American cartoon? Perhaps Comedy Central's preemptive capitulation deferred the first good opportunity.

#5  Does he look like "Moon Over Parador" in them, or Joan Crawford?

#4  If the cartoons are only "provacative", then the cartoonists will just have to work harder.

#2  5 Bulgarian nurses. 2 claimed to have been raped in prison. The Libyan health system reused needles and the infidels were convenient scapegoats for stupid Libyan policies.

Hostages are exactly what they are. The Libyans are demanding a $1 billion per nurse to release them.

#1  If I'm not mistaken, Bulgaria is the home country of the two nurses literally taken in hostage after having been judged guilty for spreading aids in Libya ('coz it's the only way it would appear and spread in Magnificent Libya), along with a paleo doctor IIRC.

So...

- charging innocent people (come on, do you really believe that Dark Conspiracy against libyan kiddies?) and holding them in jail until a reparation (ransom) has been paid by their country, all the while mistreating them (the two women have been tortured, and one even said she had been tortured with dogs, something some people have understood like she was raped by dogs, won't go into that) => OK (hey, you're the Master Religion, after all!)

- publishing cartoons about the loony dictator responsible for this mess, and much, much more, from terror to african countries destabilisation => BAD, you've got to apologize, kufr.

Seems Gaddhaffy was right in his al jizz speech yesterday. Islam will come to europe, victorious.
