Suicide is not to my taste, so only a Katana over here - and that is locked in the bank. Only my bow I have at home. Not the most practical tool of self-defense while riding bus or subway :lol:

Bush has declared support for Denmark now. :yep: Things may indeed be escalating (and yes, troops fired on protesters in Afghanistan and have killed at least two).

Norways pulling the troops out of Afganistan now.
Man... What can I say. If those people on streets burning stuff had jobs, none of this would happen. It's amazing how bloody childish the world is. It's a CARTOON! GET OVER IT. |

I heard on the news tonight that Norwegian troops in Afghanistan had some problems with fierce demonstrations around their compound and asked for air support from the Dutch. We sent 2 F-16's which first made a very low pass over the demonstrators and, being informed that some hard core demonstraters were still closing in on the Norwegian compound, then demonstrated to the crowd that a 20 mm Gatling gun can take you faster to heaven then an F-16 itself (but that there would not be much left of you to enjoy any virgins). The demonstrators - being fully convinced by the 20 mm strafing - then decided to spread in a hurry. |
I think we can establish that, on a deeper level, it's not about those cartoons. There exists a more or less general dislike of the West in Islamistic countries. These cartoons were simply a spark that has grown to a fire under nursing of some leaders, religious and political, who has brought it to the inflammable material of this dislike and people's general uncontentness in these areas.
Norway is making no sign of pulling out of Afghanistan. There were some rumors floating, after the attack on Nortwegian ISAF-forces, but Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has said in a press conference that pulling out is not an option. Making and printing those cartoons, was, in my opinion, wrong, but not illegal. Some of the reactions to it has been both wrong and illegal. Still, it is sad that this debate is run by extremists on both sides. From Norwegian media, I have gotten the impression that there does exist moderates in the countries that criticize and attack us. I believe this to be true. To quote Norwegian politician Torbjørn Jagland. "Moderates of all countries, unite!" |

That the hate is stirred and channeled from interested circles is no excuse. What hysteric attitude of mind must an ideology teach to the people, so that they are so easy to be set into silly-mode and display such an ammount of irrational childish behavior? |

Why didnt the world blow up, when rumors suffaced that prison guards at guantanamo was flushing Korans down the toilet??? Maybe because the same people who are lashing out at Denmark wouldnt dare do the same to the US. Denmark is just an easy outlet for rage and frustration these days. Syria is still proclaming that the danish prime minister should apologize....geeeesss...are they thickheaded??!?!?! :damn: |

Ironically, after all of this, I find the bomb-turban Mohammed cartoon gained a whole new meaning, whenever I look at it, I can't avoid but laugh, because now that cartoon is more real than ever.
