norma Member Registered: 10/29/05 Posts: 286 Loc: western canada	you've all seen the angry protest marches, placards calling for death, beheadings in England. Danish and Norwegian embassies torched in Syria and now in Lebanon. Boycotts against Danish products. Ambassadors being recalled. And why ? Because cartoons 'insulted'. I dont know your opinions, but i am going to the store now and find myself some goodies to buy which come from Denmark !!

ladybug Member Registered: 09/22/05 Posts: 1402	I'll gladly buy some as well. Can you imagine how many people that cartoons in this country have offended? Their reaction seems a bit extreme to me.

In this case, the people who are doing the hating will use any excuse to riot and destroy because they hate anyone who doesn't believe the way they do. To be honest, it scares the life out of me!

norma Member Registered: 10/29/05 Posts: 286 Loc: western canada	Hope you like alot of cheese Mosspatch .... your right Ladybug, people of other faiths, and of no faith in our countries have often been offended and yet the reactions are not calls for violence, and the drawings causing the uproar are certainly mild. I dont blame you for being worried Jackie, so many people must be on edge right now, i imagine even moslems who disagree with the calls for violence are on edge, caught in the middle ..... if they speak out against their own, does that put them in jeopardy? It seems so far those who get hurt most often by extremist views are those of the same faith group..... but if they remain silent ........

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	These militant extremists would find another reason to act out and destroy. If it wasn't a cartoon it would be something else setting them off. These people are all crazy fanatics and they seem to be winning by the sheer insanity they display. Now don't get your panties in a knot, I don't mean the entire nation/population, I am merely referring to the small minority of trouble makers out there running amuck.....

Bluebird Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 2560 Loc: Pagosa Springs, Colorado	This makes me shake my head and wonder how the world would react if Christians lashed out in violence every time something offensive was written about Jesus. I think of all the plays, TV shows (watch South Park), songs, etc., that are so degrading to the Lord and His name. We get criticized if we boycott a show or product because of sacriliges against Jesus. In my opinion, this cartoon was an excuse to cause death and destruction.

AvalonBlondi Member Registered: 11/07/05 Posts: 1096 Loc: West Chester ,PA	I don't think they understand "peace" Bluebird...it doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary...they understand Hatred, violence, and murder...that's why we all need to reaffirm our own commitment to prayer...( in my humble opinion)
