Dude, that's just not true... Check your sources before you post something!
What our queen said, was that we should find a way to oppose the NEGATIVE sides of islam, not that crap you just posted. And please don't insult the queen, she is a representation of the people of Denmark, not the govornment.
just for making my view clear. I do not think that the reaction of moslems is OK. actionly I hate this behaiviour, and it is a shame. But I know at the same time in which culture and under which conditions these people are living, most of these people have nothing else in their mind exept "americans and the west hate us" "they try to destroy Islam" "Americans help Israel" "Americans are in Irak". because of this I am not surprised how a part of "moslems" are reacting.
Kindly remove these please.
It's seems that a lot of you have failed to see the point of the article. It is stating that the whole racas surrounding this isn't as blown as it seems. Most muslims don't support this, infact there is mention of gov'ts being involved in instigating matters.
Another point I'd like to make is that unfortunately this whole freedom of press has gotten way out of hand. If you accept cartoons of Jesus then that's fine; you want to draw up naughty pictures of your mothers and sisters, that's fine, but leave ours out. You advertize peace in the world? You want the whole world to sing democracy? Is this your way of inviting people into your "home"? Just think about it for a second. Yes it is allowed b/c of freedom of speech/press, but seriously, you're only causing people to move away from you.

Sadomin....that avatar is not funny at all....what is funny is your stereotyping of others and thier right to thier speech and views. I am an Arab-american & i have lived 20 years in america and the rest here in the middle east. I can say for my self that i have seen the good & bad from both places. One thing is that Politics is allways getting mixed up with religion these days. Okay America is only here for the oil but we all know that there are far greater concerns than just oil.
I read arab newspapers daily and i have yet to see any religious images of any of the prophets. The only images are that of political figures. When people are given the freedom of speech they should take in to consideration how thier actions will react. If the Danish people dont want to appologies thats all them. Also for the burning and destruction of embassies caused by angry muslims. That i also condone. But one thing i dont is the lack of respect they have towards Islam. Never in my life have i seen such an act. It is beyond disrespectfull...it is out right dirty. This act shows the immaturity of Newspapers and there image. I have never seen any images of jesus or anyother prophet used as an idol of bad imagery....only in western media.
To make my point very clear. The right of Freedom of speech lies on a very thin line& should not be takin for granted.
No, you do accept them, that's why they are everywhere. By now you are all used to it, it's an accepted aberration now. Point is, these people who are reacting are just looking for reasons to react and we all know that. I bet 99% of them couldn't sit down and write a whole page over why they're upset. Second, what this article shows is that most people are not on the streets and burning embassies, and everyone should know that.
I dont think Ive heard Denmark preach Democracy. But anyways different countries have different rules concerning freedom of speech. And while it does sometimes suck when what people have to say offends you. You do have the right to disagree and protest in a civilized manner. And with these rights you can be assured that youre voice will be heard. But people do not have the right to this:
