                        Same s**t happens in the south here in the US all the time. I wouldn't get to concerned unless it becomes apparent that the anger truly does escalate to action.
Sadly, its forever going to be a fact that there will always be people who relish inciting chaos.

                        Well, what denmark made, is really cruel, they humilated us so badly, by drawing our prophet and making fun of our religion, islam, and or prophet, mohammed, and i heard that they are truely burning the denmark flag, plus boycotting loads of products, which i really liked ie choclates and cheese products...
But the problem here is that none of our leaders stand up against that act...
Well, that drawing really made me mad,its all over emails talking about denmark, the drawer,and the drawing itself...
also, i didnt like the way they humilated us, its not the first time, for we had alot of other cruel humilation against our religion...
Well, i just hope bin laden wont go all nuts and start blowing the denmark out...
What he does is nothing related to islam ( killing innocents ) ...

                        As an outsider who hasn't the foggiest idea whats going on let me just say that if the USA boycotted every country whom said something offensive to us, we truly would be a self sufficient nation since we would be left with absolutely no one but ourselves. :rolleyes:
IMO, boycotting for a simple notion of "He said,She said" is a bit silly.
/ 2cents
On topic: can anyone post a link to this supposed offensive comment? I'd like to determine its level of offensiveness for myself.

                        Prolly just me being outside the loop but, I see no issues. At least nothing to get worked up over. I am not saying its not a serious issue, just not my issue.
/me bows out.

                        The image of Jesus Christ gets defamed quite regularly... Christians don't like it, but they generally don't react quite this way... if there was ever a case of a tempest in a teacup, this is it!

                        I can't see why these people are so offended. If anything, I should be
offended because 5 of them tried to blow me up in the subway 2 months
ago, I
should be offended because they deny the divine origin of Christ, I
should be offended by the way they hide behind a Holy War to justify
the unjustifiable, I should be offended by the way they disrespect
western culture but expect respect in return, I should be offended by
the way they keep getting
offended for no good reason, and so on. They give Islam a bad name, and that's something worth being offended by.

                        I'm from Denmark, and to anyone who isn't well informed off what actually happened, here is some facts:
It started with some cartoons of the Islamic Prophet, Muhammed, which actually made some muslims in Denmark mad, but it really didn't turn into anything special.
Half a year later, some muslims from Denmark decided to travel to the Islamic countries to get backup from those who believed in the same as them.
Unfortunately, there was spread mis-information about that Jyllands-posten (The news-paper who made the cartoons) were owned by the Danish Government and stuff.
Then in the new-year speech, the Danish Prime-minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, talked about how he disliked the way the freedom of speech were used by Jyllands-posten were used, but it wasn't illegal. The speech were translated into Arabic (and more) and were sent to the ambassedours (03 in English for this mis-spell :smile: ) in the Islamic countries, but it didn't seem to quite get through.
Some time later the Danish prime-minister were invited to a meeting with some Ambassedours, which was TOLD to be about how to sort the problem, which he dismissed. Though lately, he told it was about how to punish Jyllands-posten for their drawings.
Then the Islamic people wanted an apologie from the Danish population (Bulls**t, not all Danes are Christian) and thereby the Danish government, because they were chosen by the Danish people. (BULLs**t, again)
Somewhere about this time the buycuttings began.
Then the Prime-minister told them that this had NOTHING to do with Denmark, but with Jyllands-posten.
Now the Islamic people want the Danish government to accuse Jyllands-posten for breaking the Danish law, but they haven't f**kING GOT INTO THEIR HEADS THAT THERE IS ONE LAW ABOUT THIS, AND IT ACTUALLY ALLOWS THEM TO MAKE THOSE CARTOONS. (Sorry got a little upset)
Though, it's not all their fault, Jylland-posten started it, but they can't understand that an understanding from our prime-minister is all they can get!
AND there has been a SMS going around Denmark that all Islamic stores here in Denmark should be buycutted, which i personally find quite humorous.
I will continue buying in Islamic stores though because 1: The muslims here in Denmark have nothing to do with it and 2: that would mean no pizza :smile:

                        --A reply for the recent post of jeffjohnvol...
The Quran never stated anything like this...I dont care if people make up their own words and call it from the quran...I dont belive your rubbish jeffjohnvol, iv read the quran and finished alot of times, and i never read anything about what you qouted...so please, dont tell others that quran shows that islam is the only religion that is going to grant it's believers "Heaven" ..When you dont know absolutely what your talking about, the holy quran is a holy book, just like the bible, that doesnt contain any of your sayings...

I found what he had to say, and his link interresting.. that is all.
Oh and or the record I think the bible is full of poopy too. I am not a Christian nor am I am islamic.. I am however a PEGAN, with Druid beliefs.
Oh and I have a good idea what I am talking about.. I have studied to some extent most major religions, in hopes of finding what it is I believe. So I have a pretty good understanding. if I dont, I try to..

                        Well come on now.. you must admit getting all upset over a cartoon and wanting to make a terrorist atack on a country because of something so silly is pretty STOOPID.
To boycott a whole country over something so simple and stupid, is silly to me. Just as silly as saying get a grip or well come kick your buttocks. And that was my point.
Just like Bill O'reily wanting to BOYCOTT France because they are back stabbing weenies and got caught with there pants down in IRAQ is just as stupid and silly.
They didnt beleive in our war.. because, well they had some money interrest there. And as a seperate country they should be able to say no we wont help you yanks.. thanks for saving our butt in WWI, WWII, and VIET NAM etc.. but were just not gonna support you here.
EDIT:FRAGGARD your so right.. lol

                        See moneyshot, thats what i mean, you, and few others, think that only muslims get revenge by blowing innocents up...thats not even islamic, and who does this kind of thing, he betrayed what God told us to do...( not to kill other humans for no reason ie innocents )
And about the Boycotting thingy, this is the only thing the citizens can do, because our leaders wont act nor do anything towards what happened...And about the wars, we couldn't have fought anyone, i simply dont know why, but i guess cuzz we were busy in an old war, and that we are weak...i admit it, we are. 
Even if we did have the power to support you...what will we get ?? A war against Iraq ?? ...
But i cant change your mind dude, everyone has his own opinion, and i respect that . . .

You really can't.

                        All blocking would be internal - besides, it's their right as sovreign nations to do so.
Don't fly us (US/UK/EU) as some kind of beacon of freedom and example
for the world, when we're quite clearly not. Just the other day whilst
Google was portrayed as sleeping with the enemy for aiding Chinas
"great firewall", they were also repelling agents from the Department
of Justice trying to get logs of searches made within the US.
And as far as I know Dubai is a good example of progressive Arabic
government - one of the jewels in the crown of the UAE. Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait also are making steps to liberalising their process of selecting
representation.
TBH it all boils down to us trying to impose our ideals on cultures
totally alien to our ethics and lifestyles. Freedom of speech? How
about we stop persecuting people for being "rogue states" and
practicing "bad examples" of government when that is their right in the
first place.
