I really dont understand the big deal.
What would happen if someone did the same thing with the christian god? Not much I would think.

Some people (guess who) just take their religion way too serious.

Thanks for contributing links, Pfeil.

Haven't been able to find them myself.

Yes it's incredible what a drawing. And these look real amateurish.

Because the Swedes handle it without being so stubborn and refuse meeting the ambassadors. Like the Danes did.

You could look at it that way... or you could say good on the Danes for defending their free speech and not succumbing to religious people's 'demands' like the rest of us.

It doesn't matter. Most (if not all) of those who protests, haven't even seen the drawings. They've only been told that they're bad, by their spiritual leader. At least that's what happened with the danish cartoons. Massive protests over some drawings that were not even real. Like the now famous "pig snout" picture. Not even published by Jyllandsposten, and not even a drawing. But muslims were told a lot of lies. I'm not surprised if they made someone believe that the danish primeminister himself made that "pig snout" drawing, and planned on making a new version of the Koran with the "pig snout" picture as the front cover...

It will be interesting to see how this one turns out. So far I don't think any of the cartoon have been all that amusing to look at. If any one finds any more please to post them. If some people want to start a big protest or a riot over a cartoon it might as well be for a good cartoon.

The cartoons are as tasteless as the many caricatures of western leaders produced by islamists and used to belittle the west.

It has been done for many years, I remember the portrayal of the Japanese in WW II, among others, it is stereotyping and while some may get a laugh, it is mostly produced to mock and belittle the enemy, dehumanize them, and for the most part it works, those who seek an easy out will easily identify with this type of propaganda and reinforce their own hatred of others.

It has been and will continue to be a useful tool in times of conflict.

To think that Muslims should be exempt from this practice is foolish.

If they are so sensitive to such propaganda, they should be equally upset that those of their faith would produce the same type of propaganda to denegrate those whose ideals conflict with their own.

I hope other countries follow the Swedish lead and print many, many cartoons of their false prophet.

We have to just get over trying to group hug these people of Islamic faith into anything but what they are. People who just want to kill others of different faith, even within there own cult.

I would like to see these people rioting in the streets and killing themselves over this disgrace of Allah.

Folks, these people have declared war on Western culture and modern society. I'm not some angry American still fuming over 9/11, but a realists that does believe that something has to be done, AND not just in Iraq. I won't say what really needs to be done as it would "offend" many people who still think that a smile wins over the crowd.

Sweden, the home of the real free press...

How humane of you.

You know what's the difference between the mentality of people like you and those who riot in the streets over this? Nothing.
