#1 violent cartoon protest

So, it's a protest against violent cartoons? Or a cartoon protest against violence? Or a violent protest against cartoons? Or...?

/I just love English! No, really. What other language can give you so much ambiguity (intentional or otherwise). It's the perfect language for diplomacy.

#2 It is a violent protest by members of the religion of peace against cartoons that imply they are not peaceful.

#3 Over the years, there have been many examples of art, forms of speech that are deeply offensive to Christians. I haven't seen Christian youth start riots & torch buildings over it. These acts are not spontaneous but organized and use by jihad groups to foment trouble & further their cause. However, to their credit, I need see some Muslim clerics out in front of the crowd in the Christian neighborhood trying to stop them, pushing them back and in one case, it dragging a young man back (it looked like by his ear.)

#4 Wow, I don't think you could find as many Danish flags in Denmark as are parading of the streets of the ME.

Shouldn't there have been a boycott on Danish flags - surely they are produced in Denmark?

#5 Like a good protion of the inexpensive clothing on the market, I suspect the flags are produced in the sweatshops of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

#6 The sudden appearance of danish flags in Gaza, Lebanon,...'s backalleys for theses retards to burn/abuse is an another telltale sign of the planning behind theses "spontaneous" Peaceful-Protests-by-Pious-Muslim-Masses(tm), don't you think?
