Rampaging Syrian Muslims Torch Danish Embassy

Submitted by ZPO

Edited by Shal

According to a recent report on CNN furor in the Muslim world continues over some caricatures of the prophet Mohammed published by a Danish newpaper last September. Since that time Palestinian gunmen have raided the Gaza offices of the EU, a Hamas leader has stated:

"We should have killed them, we should have required just punishment for those who respect neither religion nor its holiest symbols."



Violent protests have broken out in several nations.

Since the original publication, several other European newspapers and magazines have reprinted the cartoons in a demonstration of the free press in action.

Today, protesters in Syria broke through police barricades and torched the Danish embassy in Damascus. Elsewhere, demonstrators have clashed with police by throwing sticks and stones.

It seems somewhat hypocritical that while Muslims claim the right to burn foreign flags, burn foreign leaders in effigy, issue fatwah calling for the murder of both foreigners and their own citizens, and claim freedom of speech and the press in their own countries; they fail to extend the same freedoms to the citizens of other countries within those other countries own borders.

By assaulting and burning the embassies of multiple foreign nations (both Chile and Sweden had their embassies in the same building) these Muslims have moved dangerously close to a replay of 1979 Tehran.

Of these Muslims. Let us not confuse a vast group of people with different opinions for a massive singular entity.

All right look. Let's get this straight. To "them" it's not just a cartoon. It is absolutlely forbidden to depict Allah or the prophet Mohammed. Not just a little bit forbidden, but REALLY forbidden. Are these particular boneheads taking it way too far? Fuck yeah. But let's not pretend that it was just a cartoon.

Enough with the good muslim, bad muslim rap, I think it's safe to say most people here don't mind a person practicing any religion as long as they have respect and tolerance for others. A zealot is a zealot though. I hold them in as much contempt as I hold Pat Robertson, et al.

Of course it isn't a cartoon to "them" that's my fucking point! In reality it's a black and white picture with a little caption.

unless you are saying that freedom of speach has limits.
i would agree, though not many others would.

so... which is it: is it "just" a cartoon of "just" freedom of speach?

Christians have gotten their panties in a twist over similar things (to their credit they didn't burn down the theatre).
