At the risk of getting my head chewed off - probably, yes. A lot of moderates have also been offended by the same cartoons, but it's always the vocal minority who get on the news.

Give it a couple of weeks and it'll all blow over.

As somebody said, where were the offended protesters when muslim groups distributed a video of an infidel having his head cut off in the name of Islam?

The point is that there was no insult to Muhammed. Why on earth would anyone want to insult a 6th century character??? The cartoons were not directed at the Prohphet but at modern Islamic fundamantalism. Unfortunately the irrational dickheads have a childlike literalism that does not allow them to see the difference.

What about the money....

While everyone's concerned with getting one over on the muslims, Arla foods of Denmark are losing a million pounds a day. They've also laid off members of staff.

Freedom of speech comes with immense responsibility. Gratuitous publishing of a few pics will have an economic effect, even if it's only for a short while.

Rupert Murdoch has business interests in the middle east, including Israel. His staff know who pays their wages!

So what's your point, Larry? What do you think should have happened in this situation?

A point that was ably made by Ian Hislop on Newsnight Review last night. The reaction to a cartoon satirising fundamentalists as blood-thirsty intolerants was to behave as blood-thirsty intolerants. And as Ian Hislop knows more than most, it isn't libel if it's true.

I was informed that this unauthorized visiport was a hotbed of crimethink and oldspeak.

I have been assigned to monitor this unauthorized visiport and report any untruth or malquote.

As you know citizen Luciferbox, what you are suggesting is doublethink at the very least, if not crimethink and you will be invited to a NL Joycamp for correctthink.

THE PARTY decrees that we must tolerate our Muslim co-thinks in their FAIR and reasonable opinions that all Oceanians should be beheaded, burned alive or bombed. TO THINK NOTSO IS CRIMETHINK and NOTFAIR.

Now redirect your thought-viewer to the Ingsoc Visiport (www.labour.org.uk) and lovejoy Tony BB Liar's DAYORDER.

TBB is watching.

Sorry, citizen, I shall be reporting to my nearest Nu Labour re-education centre (aka city academy) first thing in the morning.

Credit Where Credit's Due

A march in which protesters chanted violent anti-Western slogans such as "7/7 is on its way" should have been banned, a leading British Muslim said. Asghar Bukhari said the demonstration in London on Friday should have been stopped by police because the group had been advocating violence.

The chairman of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee said the protesters "did not represent British Muslims". Mr Bukhari told the BBC News website: "The placards and chants were disgraceful and disgusting, Muslims do not feel that way.

"I condemn them without reservation, these people are less representative of Muslims than the BNP are of the British people."

Seems that Ashgar Bukhari has got more balls than Straw or Mandelson. But, oh, hold on a moment, a few seconds later he's hedging his bets: "It's irrelevant whether it's Muslims causing hatred or anyone else - freedom of speech has to be responsible", said Bukhari.

Oh lookie here, further to earlier questions about why the police let a bunch of crazed zealots march through central London calling for the death of infidels, it seems they were busy arresting people in possession of offensive cartoons...

Police later said two men had been arrested near the embassy during the protest. "They were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace, after a search by officers found leaflets including cartoons of the prophet Mohammed," a Met spokeswoman said.

Still, there is at least one thing I might agree with...

He [a speaker at the demonstration] called on "the governments of the Muslim world to completely sever all contact with European governments" until they had "controlled the media".

Heres an ironic thought... make anti UK thoughts / speeches / actions punishable by beheading...

The actual concept of what is 'anti UK' would be interpreted to involve 'anything a mulsim says while inciting violence', and their execution would be outsourced to a private company to ensure efficiency, and broadcast on TV by decree

Its either that or compulsory dousing in pig fat on the way to the dole office / immigration office to put the buggers off living here.
