Denmark is an example in terms of freedom of speech.

Iran is not.

So, am I to understand that muslims are refusing to apologize for acting like perfect prigs about the whole thing?

Some Europeans actually think Europe is worth protecting.

Proud to be a neighbor of Denmark (I live in Gothenburg, Sweden)!!

The Danes can apologize for some satirical cartoons when the Islamofascists apologize for carbombings, beheadings, stonings and baby killings.

I’m not holding my breath.

“So, am I to understand that muslims are refusing to apologize for acting like perfect prigs about the whole thing?”

- Well put.

Either, we believe in the superiority of basic human rights, or we obey medieval religious dogmas.

I am a Christian (a Swedish Lutheran), but I know what true democracy implies.

- Couldn’t agree more.

“Denmark? Testicles? Who’d of thought...”

- If you were able of awaking women of the past they wouldn’t exactly tell you Viking men lack testicles.

Or, ask women of today - If they bother to speak to men like you at all.

Believe me, we get our share.
