Fair play to the Danes
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe...eut/index.html
I like this quote
"A Danish government can never apologize on behalf of a free and independent newspaper," he said. "This is basically a dispute between some Muslims and a newspaper."

Best political statement I've seen in a while from any country.
Also, looks like the US government picked the perfect time to go wobbly.

Re: Fair play to the Danes
Now that I look at this thread again I wish someone could explain something to me...
Muslems cannot eat bacon or drink alchols supposedly, nor can they make pcitures, statues, ect of their prophet.
Why then don't they go daft everytime someone eats a bacon sandwich - i fail to see the difference between a non-believer eating a bacon sarnie, or a non-believer drawing a pic of old mo'.
Can someone please explain the difference to me
