| [Ben]: | Muhammed cartoons causing an uproar | Discuss This [4 comments so far] View Comments | This is very interesting situation. There are a few thousand stories on it out there, but I'll be quoting from this article.
A couple of European newspapers print some cartoons that depict the Muslim prophet Muhammed. The Islamic world gets up in arms and starts threatening all of Europe. A few newspapers printing cartoons has led to bomb throwing, calls for murder and destruction of entire nations and more.
Here are some cute responses from some extremist Muslims found in a single ABC article:
| "Whoever defames our prophet should be executed." |
| "Bin Laden our beloved, Denmark must be blown up." |
| "If they want a war of religions, we are ready." |
| "We are ready to redeem you with our souls and our blood our beloved prophet," they chanted. "Down, Down Denmark." |
| "Hands that reach Islam must be broken." |
| "Death to Denmark" and "Death to France." |
| "Long live Islam, destroy our enemies." |
Either Islam is going to succeed in censoring western media, or this is going to get bloody.
