"Dan J.S." wrote in message ... After reading about Denmark and their problems with the Arabs I have found a few ways to support the country. OK....stop the special bus at the next corner, open the window, and tell me about your delusion: 1) A (typically) stupid Christian publication starts this whole mess by publishing a picture that offends an (equally) stupid bunch of Muslims. 2) The Danish government responds by saying it supports free speech, instead of saying "Hey...you got a problem with that cartoon? Take it up with these shmucks". By doing so, it creates an image of solidarity with the shmucks. The audience is...guess who? Religious fanatics in the Middle East, precisely equivalent to the morons who published the cartoons. No brains on either side. Free speech and separation of church & state? Alien concepts. The Muslim shmucks assume that the Danish government is arm in arm with the Christian shmucks. Great. 3) The Danish government sees its holdings around the world being attacked, and you think we should say one friggin' word in its support, when it could've distanced itself from the PRIVATELY RUN PUBLICATION that started the mess? If Forbes Magazine, or Time or Newseek had published the cartoons first, you would've come up with all sorts of reasons why "it's different". But, a Christian publication somehow deserves "support" when its actions generate conflict. Bull****. i forgot islam - new religion of liberals No, robot. You assume a Christian newspaper is somehow superior because the details of that religion's sins occurred just a bit too far in the past to be accurately chronicled by web links. Too bad. The two religions are the same. yes, Christians are running around burning down buildings when anyone makes fun of them. Plus, most of the papers were not Christian. Don't turn this around like some Christian newspaper is targeting Islam. How about the daily jew cartoons that Islamic newspaper publish. Where is the outrage there? Islamists are idiots. Perhaps Israelis (and Jews in general) realize that cartoons don't matter. If they did, there'd be a whole slew of American political cartoonists in prison by now, or at least their phones would be tapped. I'm not defending the current violence against Danish properties, by the way. I *do* object to any attempt on your president's part to make political hay out of the situation. Sort of like Jimmy Carter and other Democrats did during Mrs. King's funeral yesterday? What a shameful display on their part. Yeah, I heard about that. Inexcusable and obnoxious. Shameful political rally's at funerals and memorials seems to be the Democrats MO now........remember the Wellstone Memorial service? No....don't recall that one. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLI...orial.fallout/ |
