#1 Apologizing for hurting feelings (not a huge sacrifice-a simple PR move) versus apologizing for free speech (didn't happen, thank God for Danish nerve).

We need a big "buy Danish" campaign.

#2 How about a smiley face prophet to smooth it over?

#3 We sincerely apologise for any offence caused.

#4 Interesting! It's considered "freedom of speech" to insult a prophet of God in the west. But to speak out against jews is "anti-semitism" and "a breach of human rights". (Western logic!)

#6 To some a prophet, to others a desert barbarian who promoted subjugation of women, child abuse, slavery, looting and plundering, dishonesty... Those who would threaten murder over a cartoon are clearly homicidal lunatics.

#7 No only if you are actually an anti-semite. I think liberal who jews suck. I don't think they suck just because they are Jewish. They suck because socialist and commies of all stripes suck IMNSHO. See QED. I think anti-semites and Holocaust deniers suck because they are evil.

#8 They will teach me to proof read better, some day.

No only if you are actually an anti-semite. I think liberal who jews suck. I think liberals whom are Jews suck. I don't think they suck just because they are Jewish. They suck because socialist and commies of all stripes suck IMNSHO. See QED. I think anti-semites and Holocaust deniers suck because they are evil.

#9 A cartoon.

I'm still waiting for the reciprocal apology for the spew from mosques each day - double on Friday - about the infidels and the joooos.

Still waiting for the big stand-up and shout down of foaming Wahabis and and Salafists and their law.

The apology to their women and children for the appalling abuse.

Yeah.... real sorry about the cartoons.

My local councillor had a much worse muck-raking than the cartoons shown. Not even quite as funny.

She's OK wit dat. Why we sweating this at diplomatic levels. The insanity grows.
