"Inciting religious or ethnical hate in such a way cannot be accepted." (!)
I will spread those cartoons wherever i'm able to, thank you Mr. Cooper.

GBR and US have troops in Iraq. US and GBR wants Turkey in the EU. GBR and US prepare new war in Iran, but do not want to give the impression it is for racist/cultural/religious reasons.
On the other hand, and without GBR's participiation, today presidents from seven european countries have united and condemend Muslim reaction to the practicing of freedom of speech, while chancellor Merkel got adressed by Ahmadinejadh, saying that as a woman that she is she better should not open her mouth. yesterday Merkel had a short but sharp exchange of words with Iran's envoy to the Munich conference for security, and indirectly compared Ahmadinejadh to the Nazis.
