Pakistan's Foreign Ministry lodged a complaint with the Swedish Embassy in Islamabad on Aug. 30 over a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed published in a Swedish daily. The cartoon could ignite violent protests in Muslim countries and among Europe's Muslim population.

Watch out for more Islamic rage in Europe, probably followed by a backlash from the population and more PC training needed by the bureocrats.

Is the latest Mohammed cartoon as good as the “Itchy and Scratchy Show” or “Bugs Bunny”? Damn, I like a good cartoon now and then. And there making them is Pakistan now - wow.

Trouble is just brewing?

That ‘brew’ was trouble right from its inception in 1947!

I think the world’s Muslims need to attend Anger Management training.

The West should simply have a permanent, ever-changing display of Mohammed cartoons, at multiple locations in multiple countries. The cartoon displays should state that their purpose is not to anger Muslims, and not to denigrate Mohammed—but simply to desensitize Muslims to such displays, and teach them a lesson about freedom.

Some cultures consider such a depiction to be a work of art...

This cartoon stuff is like pennies-on-the-dollar warfare. Why build up the military when we can drive the enemy nuts (nuts-er?) with cartoons. May I suggest a Mohammed Cartoon Network?

I sure hope that the Pakis show their protest by cancelling their deal to buy 6 Swedish AWACS systems & shoot themselves in the foot.

The “religion of peace and tolerance” is upset again? Boo-hoo.
Let’s just hope people are learning to arm themselves so they can protect themselves from these nut bars, who are just proving Mohammad was a murderous baby raping bandit. After all, they model themselves in his image. Seems he was a goat humper too, and a butt bandit. How do we know? just follow a “devout” muslim around.

It could have been worse - they could have given it the body of a pig.

I’m offended and disgusted.........to degrade a dog in such a way is unexcusable.

Riddle me this Bat Man, if images of Muhammed are forbidden by the Koran, wouldn’t that mean that no one knows what Muhammed looks like? And if so, then how do these clowns know for sure that the depiction is truly that of Muhammed?
Inquiring minds would like to know!

I agree with you.
What it is a smart strategy to get your enemy to kill themselves!
On the other hand, the day the Muhammadans are no longer raising hell over free speech, they will have graduated to be fit to live in a civilized society.

Muhammad was a child molester, rapist and a sex maniac. To bring this point home I would love to see a a cartoon depicting Mu-Ham-Mad as a penis with a head of Muhammadan head. This one will really get them going. There is a good chance to see these idiots murdering several thousands of each others.
