One of the cartoons he printed was the one with a bomb as a turban, chief editor Jihad Momani was sacked on friday for this reason.

Pathetic.
There is little to love about the Muslim world.

he added that people are protesting about images they haven't even seen.We keep hearing about the "man in the Arab street". So where does the mass of Muslims get there information?
It appears that everything is based on rumors.

I think the guy who drew the cartoons should go back and draw new cartoons of the protesters.

Amazing how blockheaded they are, isn't it? If that doesn't give those latte-sipping Euro girlymen a nasty start, nothing will. Yea, multiculti diversity! Yea, all cultures are equal!

Fools deserve nothing but gasoline and fire, and only fools would ever allow themselves to be violent over a cartoon. The idea that the worldpress talks about this anger as if it is legitiment is part of the problem. Stirring them up and getting them to overstep and get put in jail or killed is the best thing we can do for those types. Maybe that should be a Psyop strategy in the future, hire a bunch of cartoonists to produce defamatory books and then airdrop them into the streets of Iran. The place might just implode and save us the time.

Stirring them up and getting them to overstep and get put in jail or killed is the best thing we can do for those types. And then you can loudly condemn the King of Jordon for jailing and or killing them.
Sorry but I find inciting to riot to be a rather nasty sort of thing.

Yeah, they've shown themselves to be very similar to the Democrats, and give proof you wouldn't want to belong to either group.
