I hope you know that Allah is just the muslim word for God. If you don't, please learn. So by saying there is no Allah, you are saying there is no God. Shame on you.

I do have a question for you. Have you ever read the holy book of the Islamic religion? Just wondering.

And yes, I'm a Christian. I think bible thumpers like you need to step down off your soap box as well and learn to take your head out of your asses and see what's actually going on in the world, not just the country. Look around on some news websites that AREN'T from the USA. You'll see a lot more is going on than you think. "Oh, but we're not allowed to know that, so I'm not going to look," you say. Fine, keep your head up your ass then. I'm a firm believer in natural selection. :0)

Actually, I do believe it was laws passed WAY BEFORE any president of this time was in office, ya know, about how it's illegal to kill people? I guess that's just in the morality of people once it's a law in a place you live in...

Please stop saying things out of stupidity. You make my brain want to cry.

Fabulously written.....Thank You

Lady - your comment showed neither respect nor intelligence.

Please only appologize for voting in Bush (and fiends).

I originally hadn't thought much of Clinton, but have come to truely respect the man as he stands for greater causes of mankind. I also agree with a previous made comment above (#77314) that he's the greatest President since Kennedy.

One can't argue with facts such as the US economy performing well during the Clinton years, and his approval rating being the highest since Eisenhower.

In the aftermath of the Danish cartoon fiasco, two things are abundantly clear. First, that Islam continues to be
a very dangerous and violent religion. Secondly, the hypocrisy of a majority of Muslims apparently knows no bounds.
Even those that openly agree with freedoms of speech and press are quick to condemn anyone that actually has
the audacity to excercise either. "Responsibility' and "restraint" are cautioned where the chance of offending a Muslim
may arise. We are also lectured, on both sides, to be more "tolerant" toward those of the Islamic faith.
Recently, a letter in the Boston Globe by Tariq Ramadan (" At the crossroad of Islam, the West", Feb.9,2006)
enlightened us with the following: "...Western societies, unlike muslim-majority countries, have grown accustomed to
derision, irony, and criticism of religious symbols, the Pope, Jesus Christ, and even God. Even though Muslims do
not share this attitude...". Mr. Ramadan is either delusional or simply blinded by a religion that has turned so many into
madmen, as evidenced in the last four months of violence, over a cartoon drawing.
Let us start with the fact that not only are Muslims throughout the Middle East and their Governments openly critical
of other religions, they routinely persecute those that worship outside the Islamic faith. Christians are detained, tortured,

raped, executed. Their homes are ransacked and often destroyed. In 2000, Arabs demolished Joseph's tomb, torching
the ancient shrine and murdering a rabbi who tried to save a Torah from the flames. In 2001, the Taliban destroyed
two priceless 1500 year old statues of Buddha in a wonderful example of tolerance. It is also a fact that radical Islamics
are among the most intolerant people on the planet, yet the rest of the non-Muslim world should walk on eggshells
lest we offend their thin-skinned sensibilities. Say something derogatory about Mohammed? They'll cut your head off.
Handle the Koran the wrong way? They'll cut off your hands. This is a classic example of, " Do as I say, not as I do".

Non-Islamic worshipers have endured far worse than unflattering cartoons over the years. For example, in 1989,

under the guise of "art", photographer Andres Serrano shocked and outraged many Christians with a photograph



of a crucifix submerged in urine called, "Piss Christ". Other offensive books and movies, "The last temptation of Christ",
"The passion of the Christ", and "The DaVinci Code", have upset and insulted Christians and Jews worldwide.

Were buildings burned? People killed in violent protests? Demands for the executions of the people responsible for

these blasphemies? None.Civilized people do not do such things. Unfortunately for Theo Van Gogh, he didn't





concern himself with the ramifications of insulting the Muslim world. After releasing his 10 minute movie-short,
"Submission", which criticized the treatment of Muslim women under Islam, he was brutally murdered in broad daylight.
Shot repeatedly and begging for his life, Mohammed Bouyeri proceeded to hack at Van Gogh's throat with a large knife,
nearly decapitating him. He then attached a 5 page letter of protest, with a list of prominent Dutch citizens to be murdered,
to Van Gogh's chest with the same knife. Bouyeri, in a courtroom confession, vowed to repeat this act, if given the chance.
Clutching a Koran, he stated, " The law compels me to chop off the head of anyone who insults Allah or the prophet."






Over sixteen years since he was condemned to death by Ayatollah Khomeini, with a million dollar bounty on his head,
Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" still guarantees someone a healthy stipend for his death. (It was doubled in 1997,
and increased to 2.8 million in 1999 by Ayatollah Sanei.) Even the former peace-loving 70's pop idol, Cat Stevens (a.k.a.
Yusuf Islam), writer of such ballads as "Peace Train", and "Morning has broken", supported the Fatwa against Rushdie,
"...the Qur'an makes it clear, if someone defames the prophet, then he must die...". What kind of religion could convert a
person from peace,love and freedom for all, to condoning murder over written words?
Tolerance and respect are reciprocal in life. You get what you give, as it is said. Muslim leaders "worry" about
the widening chasm betweem Islam and the West. Every incident that plays itself out on the world stage, as with this
latest cartoon debacle, adds another block in the wall separating the Muslim world from the rest. You cannot threaten
people with death every time you perceive an insult to something you hold dear. The civilized world will not tolerate it.
As Muslims continue to settle in foreign lands, they are going to have to accept and live with the fact that there are people
the world over, of all races and religious denominations, that are rude, insulting, intolerant, and predisposed to stereo-
types, racial, religious or otherwise. Rational discourse and reasonable protests are acceptable means in dealing with
ignorance. If, indeed, the majority of Muslims worldwide are peace loving and tolerant, as some claim, the problem is
that the rest of the world doesn't hear you. We instead hear the bombs, the murders and the constant death threats and
chants calling for the destruction of anything non-Muslim. We hear the imams, clerics, and political leaders inciting the
populace into a maniacal rage. Because of all of these examples, violence is indelibly linked to Islam, yet Muslim leaders
can't seem to understand why their religion is disrespected around the world. We cant' hear the moderates among you,
for your silence is deafening.
If it's apologies, respect, and tolerance they want, they had better clean up their own backyard first. Only then will the wall
between these cultures begin to come down.

Cartoons were Offensive. IF cartoonist could continue stay with his job in that company means not only cartoonist faulty a whole understanding of a nation guilty. Secondly Muslims believe Abraham, Moses and Jesus were past prophets before Muhammad. Therefore they can not against or rude to this reality. If so they`ll be exported from Islam. After that guilt they`ll be no muslim anymore. That is the rule of Islam. We are not disrespect to other religions. Thirdly if Jesus was drawed same way in a cartoon whereever in the world, I`m sure all Europe was filling the streets demanding apology. Think again Mel Gibson storied what Jews people did to Jesus when he was alive. He story all the reality but after that some of christians and whole Jews protest the movie. You think muslims do not have the right of defence? Moreover infront of a journalism understanding like they can swear to whoever`s honor or respect and they do not need to pay any. No Limitless journalism. Yes to Limitless researcher journalism that brings the fact from behind all stealth doors. Building nations work of care, share and respect to each other. Don`t forget that!

Listen, I don't believe in your Muhammad, and you cant tell me to do what I want to inside this free europe! Until you have a woman-imam heading national sermons in Saudi Arabia - shut up!

i agree that there should be respect for religious beliefs, but why should the Islamic people not respect the beliefs of others? Why should other countries, like Denmark, be forced to adopt the principles of another nation?
Ok, the cartoons were offensive and you are right in saying that not enough thought was put into the idea. You say that they "should've considered the severe consequences". i don't think the Danes considered all Muslims to be terrorists - which is how many are behaving.
Why punish a whole nation for a few peoples mistakes?

If someone suggests that Muhammad has something to do with terror - why then, go out and burn, beat up, and threat people with beheading: didn't you just prove the cartoons point there?

Do your religion contain the notion of logic?

Well - I can tell you a lot of eurpopean executives have been paying for his lifestyle - but not anymore... you dont invite Mugabe either, do you?

The intolerance the Islamic extremists show with their barbaric killing, stems from a mind not quite developed enough to comprehend any 'belief' but their own.. couple this narrow-mindedness with endless teachings (from birth) that everyone who believes differently than themselves are evil-- and ironically, you get pure evil. Which is what these animals are (the Islamic Extremests). They haven't the mentality to even attempt to understand another's beleif system, so there is no point in arguing with such ignorance-- they are lost in their own pile of garbage and are evidently content on forever using their stupid 'belief system' as an excuse to vent their hatred, jealosy and uncontrolled anger by cowardly bombing innocent people from underneath their hiding places (cowards always hide- then and only then strike- slithering back into their holes like an evil snake).
Waht is left to do with these cowardly and close-minded animals? Strike first before they are given yet another chance to lift their numb heads from underneath their latest hiding place. Oh yes, we are already doing that. More power to those of us "open-minded" enough to realize that this 'strike first' approach is, thus far, our only alternative in effectively dealing with such ignorant and small-minded people. Amen.

I totally agree with sahar.
Suicide bombers: what about all the innocent people that have been killed over the past 60 years in Palestine?..and now Iraq, what about those innocent people? what did they do? And if you are calling these "Islamic Extremests" cowardly bombers...why dont you first take a look at how the Israeli's slay the Palestenians with their huge tanks and machine guns while the Palestenians fight back with a couple of stones in their hand. And when the war started in Iraq, the Americans were just bombing the country way up high from their planes and weren't brave enough to get down there and fight. This is what I call "cowardly killing innocent people from underneath their hiding places- slithering back into their holes like an evil snake".
