You've been left in the dust. Another visitor here already confirmed that
the cartoons were re-published by some Christian publication.


from Wikipedia:
"....Magazinet is a conservative Protestant Norwegian newspaper which is
published three times a week. Its average daily circulation as of 2004 is
5,307 copies."

Not even a daily - obviously a huge player in the world of journalism. Of
course, what no one is reporting is that after the initial publication
LAST SEPTEMBER, there was so little response, so little reaction from the
world at large (including muslim populations) that a European group of
Islamic leaders sent a delegation to Egypt and other mid-eastern countries
to try to whip up some outrage. It was only in response to this renewed
pressure that Magazinet republished the cartoons. What your seeing in the
news is pure Hollywood. The fact is that nobody cared at all until the
robed and bearded mad dogs started spewing their crap from every available
mosque.




True. But tell me two things, please:

1) Are you able to find the first thing I said about all this in this
thread?

If yes:

2) Briefly, what do you think my point was in my first post?
