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

I believe so.

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


OK....stop the special bus at the next corner, open the window, and tell
me about your delusion:

I've never had any success at determining the point of gratuitous wise-ass
remarks.

1) A (typically) stupid Christian publication starts this whole mess by
publishing a picture that offends an (equally) stupid bunch of Muslims.

Point indeterminate. Apart from the continued wise-ass, anti-religious
sarcasm (which is pointless on its face), your statement is simply wrong.
The [small, inneffectual] Christian publication did NOT start the whole
mess. The original publication of the cartoons in question first occurred
over four months ago in the Jyllands-Posten, a national, non-aligned
newspaper published in Copenhagen. If any "whole mess" was started, it was
at the behest of the muslim representatives who travelled to the mid-east
with thy sole purpose of stirring up trouble.

2) The Danish government responds by saying it supports free speech,

And your suggestion is what? The Danish government should alter one of the
basic tenets of its own government in response to pressure from a small
group of lunatic religious whackos?


3) The Danish government sees its holdings around the world being
attacked, and you think we should say one friggin' word in its support,

What is your position? That we should NOT support the preservation of free
expression in a friendly nation, simply because they COULD have caved to
terrorist demands but chose not to? ARE YOU SERIOUS?????

Anyway --- your original point? I don't know. Though I usually disagree
with you, you usually have a point. I can't figure this one.
