In response to a cartoon suggesting that mohammeds teachings cause violence, there were world-wide riots, death threats (ongoing) embassy bombings and church-burnings.
Westergaard's cartoons perfectly express the growing Western image of muslims as intolerant, fanatical followers of a rabid death cult with a fondness for high explosives. And worldwide Islamic reaction to the cartoons suggests that his portrayal was accurate. Islam should heed this courageous messenger, not try to kill him.
My heart was so heavy after the publication of the notorious Mohammed cartoons. Even Europeans have been radicalized by the leadership in the Islam world.
What is really amusing about the fanatics is that they are so dense that it took them months to figure out that they should be offended....
I say good on the artist(s). In the US even Fox wouldn't show an image of Mohammud in "South Park" lest they cause offense. Submission indeed. Lately an HBO show has a guy pissing on a picture of Jesus. I'd like to see him try that with Mohammud!
If you don't stand up to fanatics they end up running your life.

What a nice doublespeak for "Denmark has failed to submit under Shariah".

Danish Moslems are even more humorless than the Leftists who invited them to Europe.

Did someone say "cognitive dissonance"?

May Allah/God save us all from simple/single-minded fanatics.

"drawings triggered an uproar a few months later"
