Much respect to the Scandinavian media for not caving in to these bullies!
Last year it was Denmark, this year Sweden is at the center of attention. Appearantly, Al Quaeda "enjoyed" one of the new cartoons so much that it's offering a $100,000 to the person who assasinates the cartoon's creator: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6996553.stm
I'd be all for having the Swedish newspaper offer larger sums of money for anyone who assasinates Al-Qaeda leaders.

Sweden has taken more Iraqi refugees than any other country. Yet here we are being pushed to brink of a clash of civilizations.

Lars Vilks is ed. And so is the editor who approved the publication. I read about this yesterday.
Not only does Mr. Vilks have to live with the prospect of being murdered, but murdered by getting his throat slit. Ugh.
God be with him.

Maybe thats why, the increased exposure to the Iraqi people. Why are Muslim countries protesting anyway? It's not nice to have the urinate extracted outof your prophet I know but it isnt your country to boss around.

To be fair, if you were a cartoonist, or a newspaper owner, what on Earth would convince you to publish a cartoon of a dog with Mohammed's face on it?! What did they think would happen?! I don't know whether this is an issue over free speech or deliberate attempt to stir up trouble...?
Still, rioting over a cartoon is pretty daft...
:cool: <------ Mohammed?
:clown: <------ Mohammed?
:thepirate <------ Mohammed?
:eyespop: <------ Mohammed?
Now will I be getting my throat cut?!
:eyes: (Not Mohammed!)

Hopefully you're safe at least on this board to do that kind of thing, George ;)

He's an interesting character that's for sure.
He shows up at all sorts of protests like this.
