		<description>Joe,

It was a logistics problem.  Takes a while to order and recieve all of those Danish flags.  Then there is the problem of getting those signs printed in English when CNN covers the riots.

Certain flags like US, French and German they keep in stock and the reaction time is quicker.

		<description>Hey Ian,Why don&#039;t you enter the contest and move to Iran? I bet you, Ahmadinejad, and the Ayatollah would be excellent bedfellows! And when Jesus comes back to kick ass, I&#039;ll give Him your address. :)

		<description>You should thank God that Jesus was nothing like Muhammed. Because us Christians don&#039;t advocate killing anybody, while the Infallible Great Prophet Muhammed and his ilk advocates killing anyone and everyone who don&#039;t agree with his religious views! They can&#039;t even take a joke without burning something. Is this anything new? well no. You see had it not been for Charles Martel &quot;the hammer&quot; fighting off the invading Muslim horde in the 12th century A.D. All Europe would have been Muslim, and I think you know what kind of world it would have been like today had it turned out that way. Draw your own conclusions.

		<description>Hi ALL,

It seems as if turnabout is fair play! I don&#039;t want any muslims in White Nations but I do admire the Iranians for tell the truth about the big lie, the lie of the mythical jewish &quot;holocauSt&quot;!

IRAN&#039;S largest selling newspaper announced today it was holding a contest on cartoons of the Holocaust in response to the publishing in European papers of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

&quot;It will be an international cartoon contest about the Holocaust,&quot; said Farid Mortazavi, the graphics editor for Hamshahri newspaper - which is published by Teheran&#039;s conservative municipality.He said the plan was to turn the tables on the assertion that newspapers can print offensive material in the name of freedom of expression.

&quot;The Western papers printed these sacrilegious cartoons on the pretext of freedom of expression, so let&#039;s see if they mean what they say and also print these Holocaust cartoons,&quot; he said.

Iran&#039;s fiercely anti-Israeli regime is supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionist historians, who maintain the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe&#039;s Jews as well as other groups during World War II has been either invented or exaggerated.

Iran&#039;s hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad prompted international anger when he dismissed the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe&#039;s Jews as a &quot;myth&quot; used to justify the creation of Israel.

Advertisement:Mr Mortazavi said tomorrow&#039;s edition of the paper will invite cartoonists to enter the competition, with &quot;private individuals&quot; offering gold coins to the best 12 artists - the same number of cartoons that appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.Last week, the Iranian foreign ministry also invited British Prime Minister Tony Blair to Teheran to take part in a planned conference on the Holocaust, even though the idea has been branded by Mr Blair as &quot;shocking, ridiculous, stupid&quot;.

Mr Blair also said Mr Ahmadinejad &quot;should come and see the evidence of the Holocaust himself in the countries of Europe&quot;, to which Iran responded by saying it was willing to send a team of &quot;independent investigators&quot;.

		<description>What about all the times the media makes fun of and utterly blasphemes the God of Christianity? Do you see a majority of Christians going out with assault rifles and burning embassies and killing people? Makes you wonder if indeed the prophet Muhammed was really an advocate for peace like his followers claim huh? Then again I wouldnt expect that from a 7th century polygamist who spread his belief through violence and intimidation.

		<description>All it takes is the realization that any organization that proselytes by killing infidels is not a true religion.

Muslim extremists need to be treated like the unlawful murderers that they are.

Every newspaper in the world should print the stupid cartoons, dunk them in urine, spread feces over them.

Screw the damned muslim extremeists.  People who are afraid of them now will have ten times as much to be afraid of in the future if those radicals aren&#039;t stopped now.

And as for all you appeasers who wondered after 9/11  -- &quot;Why do they hate us.  Let us reform our evil ways.&quot;  -- Forget it. You are infidels.  They will kill you at the first chance.

The muslim religion is unable to deal with the modern world.  It either needs to grow up or be eliminated.

Other religions have learned how to coexist with each other in a peaceful exchange of ideas. Muslims need to grow up.

		<description>cookie: The scary thing about what is going on is that it is being pushed by the Muslim religious leaders. And it is justified in their holy book.

To be fair, let&#039;s differentiate this from acts of a lone wacko who may be a Christian acting alone and certainly against scripture when he bombs an abortion clinic.

It certainly makes one wonder about the common sense of the Muslim sheople. They can be worked into a destructive frenzy by their religious leaders over a cartoon!

It should also serve to illustrate what kind of enemy we are facing, and the lengths that we may need to go to defeat them. We should be very concerned.

		<description>What I really hate about any religious fundamentalists, whether they are Muslims burning embassies or &quot;Christians&quot; bombing abortion clinics, is that their actions go against the teachings of their God.

Jesus taught peace and love and teaching the other cheek, and I&#039;m sure Muhammad taught similar things.  It&#039;s just a shame we don&#039;t pay attention to those things and instead try to kill each other.

		<description>What really gets me is that there was no Muslim uproar when &#039;extremists&#039; shot schoolchildren in Beslan or when they started flying planes into buildings.  Draw one insensitive cartoon and WOW!

The only sense you can make of it is that most of the countries with riots are not free societies.  So the various states are probably behind the &#039;outrage&#039; for their own reasons.

		<description>Hmm, things are becoming bizzare!

&quot;People in Europe are not allowed to do...free historical examination of the Second World War and the holocaust and freely express an opinion on it that is different than the dominating dogmatic line. Any attempt to have deviant historical examination of the holocaust will earn you the title of revisionist, anti-Semite and a jail sentence....Yes Arabs and Muslims are uptight when you touch their religious and national symbols, but Europe had made of political correctness and the cult of the Holocaust and Jew-worshiping its alternative religion and is even more uptight when you touch that. Europeans might not respect their flags, and they might laugh [at] Jesus and Mary but if you touch their new religious symbols, they will bombard you with indignation and persecute you in the best European inquisition tradition.

&quot;I am for the absolute freedom of speech everywhere, and that&#039;s why I call upon every free sole among Arabs to use the Danish flag as a substitute for toilet paper. To illustrate every wall with graffiti making fun of everything Europe holds as holy: dancing rabbis on the carcasses of Palestinian children, hoax gas-chambers built in Hollywood in 1946 with Steven Spielberg&#039;s approval stamp, and Aids spreading faggots. Let us defend the absolute freedom of speech altogether, wouldn&#039;t that be a noble cause?&quot; Mr. Jahjah

		<description>Tell some more jokes, please. Maybe our government can scare Osama Bin Laden out of hiding!So far ....... we have gotten more resistance from the jokes than we have our army!

Makes you wonder when we can declare another end of major fighting again and how we can keep our new democracy from having jokes, if we last that long?

		<description>This is what worries me -- you do something they find offensive to their beliefs, and it&#039;s &quot;up against the wall - all infidels must die for their blasphemy!&quot;

		<description>It was just a joke ... for Christ&#039;s sake!  It&#039;s just a joke!What would they do if they saw a violent cartoon like Tom and Jerry or The Roadrunner?

Some people need to take in some precious air and appreciate their devine maker.  The one that made a sense of humor!
