Maybe the media execs were thinking about whether our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan would be in more peril if American press outlets reproduced the cartoons.

Sure, it's that sensibility that kept all of them from publishing the Abu Ghraib photos.
Have you heard the Muslim spokesman who said he demands that "new rules" be established in Europe that make everybody play by Muslim standards?

I did not hear that specific quote, but it is evident that many of them in Europe and America think that way. Their goal is the islamization of the West.
If the Muslims that live in Denmark refuse to become Danish but insist that they allow to be Muslim outside of Danish rule of law, then how much longer can Denmark survive.
The author says that is being xenophobic. No it's not.
There is a difference between not liking foreigners and refusing to surrender your culture.
The same goes for the French and the British and the Swedes...
Do they surrender to this growing alien culture and be content to be a minority in their own country.
It seems to be they have chosen to fight... and they have a fight on their hands. May they Europeans endure and win this clash of civilizations.
A lead-in to the story?
Your comments and where you stand on the issue?
Re your #16 -
I've seen photos of that picture (which has been widely used in satirical portrayals of "Mohammed") from Iraq some time ago, and as I recall it is not supposed to be the "prophet" at all, but some famous Immam who lived a few hundred years ago and is highly revered by some sect or another of Islam.
Sort of like a "Saint", I guess.
Perhaps someone who knows more about Moslem history than i do could comment?
Re #27 -
In the more urban, metrosexual abcesses of socialized America, the PC liberals might be ready to capitulate to the "offended" Muzlim demands and bend their knee to the headsman's block...
But the America I know, where the trees grow and pickup trucks roll and people don't mind getting their hands dirty - you go telling someone what they have to or must not do, and they are apt to look you square in the eye, flip you the bird, and say "Make me, @$$XXX!".
Perhaps it's a similar spirit of defiance that some Danes are showing in response to the demands of the cutthroats to stop "offending" them.
They just start cranking out MORE Islammocrastic "cartoons", and make them even more vulgar, insulting, and tawdry.
Sort of like saying; "Make us, ragheads!"
The proverbial gauntlet is thrown right back into the offended Immam's faces... and they are not going to like that one bit, now are they?
The thing is, CAN militant Islam "make them" stifle their satire, punish them for their audacity, or make their government or management make them cease and desist?
They sure are trying!
How far will the Jihhadist thugs go to impose their will not only on the press, but on all of Europe... or the rest of the World, for that matter?
Once the precident is set that we must never "offend" Islam, then what will they find "offensive" next, pray tell?
European and American women without burquas?
The ringing of church bells anywhere a Muslim might hear them?
The very existance of a Synagog anywhere?
Will anything short of total submission to Sharia Law by all of Humankind become mortally "offensive" to them?
Stay tuned sports fans; only time will tell.
Just remember; when you are more afraid of the consequences of violating Sharia law than you are of the consequences of violating the legitimate statuatory law of your own Nation or community, then guess what?;
You've just lost, Dhimmie.
But I think that a few probably unarmed and vunerable Danish cartoonists are trying to "draw" (pun intended) a proverbial line in the sand... where a lot of their (as well as our own) "leaders" don't dare to.
And as much as I don't really go along with knocking anyone's religion, I've gotta respect their spunk.
Maybe it's high time for a few more lines in the sand, eh wot?
