It was ill-advised to publish the photos in the first place, but once that was done no one should ever think about censoring them.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

2) The majority of Muslims aren't too apt to "get" Western attempts at humor or satire, especially those in areas where a grade-school education is like having a PhD here in the US...
Any idiot should have been able to discern that this would cause an uproar. I personally thought it was rather funny and marginally appropriate, but I'm about as PC as a Playboy pinup at a daycare facility.
OK, first off, doesn't anybody see the double standard that the Muslims are putting forward here. It's OK for them to call everybody else infidels, mock their religion (i.e. the reference to the Egyptian cartoon of the rabbi drinking blood), & behead them in the name of allah. But if you draw a picture of their profit - even depicted in a positive way, it's cause for boycott, uproar, riot, & death threats.
I'm sorry, but those people are f'd up. The only thing that can save them from annihilation is education. Even then, I'm not so sure...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

To me, it proves one thing.
Those crazy ass sons of [censored] are neaderthals living in the 21st century. All this time Europe thought they would play the innocent game and stand-by, but guess what, the extremists don't care who you are or where you come from, USA or not, they'll go crazy on yo ass.
It was about time Europe shook a little in their boots again. Last time it happened in Spain...
How's that for politically correct?

I'm frankly glad the newspaper had the balls to publish these cartoons. It's great to see somebody is not afraid to say exactly what they think, and I think the cartoons are spot-on.
Would you feel the same way if the newspaper published anti-gay cartoons?
thats different, don't want to offend the butt dart players
If they did make/run a cartoon like that, I could see some peaceful demonstrating if it was really bad.
BUT I highly doubt some would storm their embassy and start destroying things!
Now if I was in charge of security at an embassy that was being attacked, I would let off a few rounds into a couple fools breaking in.
Heard some Army cats talking about something like that in Iraq. They said their FOB was handing out money not too long after the invasion. When they ran out one day, people got mad and started to riot and bust down the gates. Someone mowed down the first row or two of the people gaining entry. They sure as hell backed off after that!

I'm suprised that american people here that think of Islam as satanic haven't published these images and more, just to piss off the muslim world.
Something like: "If we piss them off enough, they will do something that will allow us to bomb the hell out of them."
Those people are hatemongers/warmongers.
