Twisted # 1
A Danish newspaper publishes a cartoon which, among other things, portrays Muhammed with a bomb in his turban, hinting that Muslims are prone to violence.
Muslims duly set fire to / threaten / bomb the newspaper’s headquarters as well as any other Danish building that they happen to be close to.
Twisted # 2
Danish newspaper exercises its right to free speech by publishing cartoons.
Muslims in Denmark and other European countries excercise their right to free speech by protesting against the newspaper’s right to free speech.
Twisted # 3
Muslims immigrate to Europe, presumably because they choose to do so, presumably because they expect a better here.
They then protest against the very foundations that make this society better than what they left.
Do these people think at all?
And what I really wonder is, how many of them know that they are protesting against cartoons – how many are out there just because their neighbour is? And how many have actually seen the thing they are protesting against?
(The cartoons are available here.)
