"The jihadists were referred to by CNN as "demonstrators."

No, they're rioters, and dangerous ones. Is CNN going to be cowed again by force?

I wonder if members of the religion of peace had anything to do with the church burnings that happened in the south the other day.

That is also what I am reading in the latest reports coming from the Lebanese press. In fact the Lebanese Prime Minister is holding an emergency session for the cabinet and he said that there were thugs sent to create chaos and violence under the cover of demonstrations.

I just hope that these events will wake Europe to the danger of Islamic extremism and fascism and at the same time I am very worried that the islamic terrorist cells in Europe will begin their campaign of terror in Europe.

re: Jihadi Demonstrators

In a recent article about the Hamas landslide victory in the PA, Mark Steyn noted that "In 2002 the New York Times published a photograph of Palestinian suicide bombers all dressed up and ready to blow, and captioned it "Hamas activists." Take my advice and try not to be standing too near the Hamas activist when he activates himself."

Yes indeed more cartoons including trading card size ones, post them on the internet some that anyone can get them . On one side a rude cartoon of the false prophet Mohammed (pig sh*t be upon him) & on the other side a simply ad stating collect them all boys & girls & remember that you to can help prevent the next mad muslim bloodbath . Sort of a variation of the old Smokey the Bear ads .

Hypocrites all of them. Muslim papers constantly offend (and threaten) Jews worldwide with their hatred almost daily in their publications. Shall we also mention the worldwide broadcast of the beheading videos? They offend the world, and fake outrage for the sake of promoting violence in the name of Islam. Will they grow up anytime soon? It's a CARTOON for heaven's sake!!!!

Exactly- I may get her to pack a rifle-calibre as well.

I offer peace- to any Muslim who stays home, minds their own business, and doesn't do anything stupid like pick up a gun and shout "Death to America!"
All the rest of you Muslims- you do the work of Shaithen, not Allah. And we will send you to be judged by Allah himself as soon as we possibly can.

Ever notice that these signs always seem to be in English? Not arabic. And notice that in this case, not in Danish.

Give them credit for being media-savvy.

Basically, though, it shows how these people are just a big bunch of attention whores exploiting the incident to stir up trouble.

The thugs in Beirut climbed up each flight of the stairwell of the consulate building and set fire to each floor. FOX said that when they got to the top floor, having burned all of the lower floors, they had to be rescued by the embassy guards. They are so incredibly (insert own adjective here) stupid - they didn't know that if they burned the lower floors first they'd be stuck on the top floor!?!?!

Call me cynical... call me jaded... call me bitter, but frankly, I would have enjoyed seeing footage of those bastards hanging out of the broken upper-floor windows, flames licking at their backs, until, in utter desperation, they began leaping to their deaths.

The building collapsing in flames, carrying with it those who managed to hold off without jumping... would have been the icing on the cake.

Those vermin are way overdue for a dose of their own medicine, and they seem to be working overtime to ensure the receipt of a prescription. Good grief, burning their way to the top of a highrise and finding themselves trapped on the top floors... Is that irony, or is that irony???

If this is the culture War CNN is clearly on the other side. While embassies burned, CNN lovingly explained the rioters point of view. They started referring to the Koran as the Holy Quaran during the toilet incident, another which outraged Islam.

Now they refer to Muhammad as the Prophet Mohammad. They who smirk at the mention of Christ, Christianity, Judaism, are outright reverent at anything Islamic.

It's not just CNN. On the Fox News morning show this AM, the guy on the right went out of his way to suck up to these terrorists, rationalizing their crimes. He later -- in a very roundabout way -- fessed up to being scared of them and not wanting to offend or inflame them.

That's what it's come down to. The muslims have succeeded in cowing the west, intimidating "the land of the free" into kissing islamic ass, lest they be "offended" -- and bruddah, EVERYTHING "an infidel" does will "offend" them. That lesson has apparently not sunk in yet.

Meanwhile, we -- "the civilized world" -- are effectively held in check by the madmen.

This does not bode well for civilization.

I say give these muzzie idiots exactly what they want: total isolation from the civilized world. That would include, of course, cutting off diplomatic ties, and all financial aid, to any regime that tolerates this insane, bullsh*t behavior.

Let the bastards eat sand. Maybe Old Mo can save them; he is such a kind and tolerant sort. Truth is, most of these protestors are too friggin' ignorant and illiterate to have ever studied the quran, and follow any towel-wearing, berobed "revered muslim cleric" that appeals to their basest instincts.

Why can't Europe, and millions of our own citizenry, not see that this insanity is at the boiling point? To ignore it is suicide.

I absolutely agree with you! Oh would I love to see Western Europe & the U.S. do exactly that and simply yank all our embassy personnel AND our financial aid from any Muslim/Islamic countries that are currently responsible for allowing & instigating violence against our embassies and our citizens. I would absolutely love to grant these raging Islamic lunatics their wishes and yank everything out of their putrid countries. I would be willing to bet that the moment these lunatic Islamic countries realize they are about to lose their food supplies and their financial aid, the violence would suddenly disappear & be muted in those countries. I wish our Western nations would do exactly that!

About your post #50.

This is HIGHLY inappropriate.

The thread is about Muslim terror, not Monica Lewinsky.

Oh--wait--I get it, militant Islam SUCKS. OK :-)

Cheers!

Nobody could be that crazy.

Unfortunately yes they could and they will. However I think they Muslim/Islamic/terrorists/countries are really testing Western nations to see how far they can go in intimidating free press & especially our will power in standing strong and RETALIATING against Islamic terror & violence. So far the Danes are doing a good job in standing (virtually alone) in resisting the international pressure by Western nations (including the U.S.) to condemn the exercise of free press even when it offends the crazy lunatic Muslims.
