Boycott Denmark, urges ISESCO

Denmark.dk reports that the Islamic cultural organisation ISESCO has called on its 51 members to boycott Denmark over the Mohammed cartoons. ISESCO claims that it “represents the cultural conscience of the Islamic world.”

Abdul Aziz Othman al-Twaijri, the organisation’s secretary general:

We encourage the organisation’s members to boycott Denmark both economically and politically until Denmark presents an official apology for the drawings that have offended the world’s Muslims.

    xxx I’m not going to comment on any of the things you just wrote – but I will say just because Dani jumps inn I did not expect you to do so as given your former posts.
    Now to stay inside the “frame work” would you please comment on my post on a win – win situation?

  2. Jensen says:

    ups new name! Another Dane = Jensen – too many Danes!

    Well isn’t that nice. For someone demanding respect for your own idol, you sure do have a peculiar notion when it comes to showing respect to symbols that are dear to others.
    You might as well get used to seeing your precious idol being depicted in every-which-way. This has become a battle between freedom of expression and Islamic dogma.

  4. Dani says:

    XXX….Apparently you still dont get it ….but let me ask you this way …

    Where as I can justify what happened on the Danish side….Can you justify what happens on the muslim side ???

    Many people have been show in drawings and feelt hurt about it ….and I agree, that they have every right to step forward and say they dont like it and have been hurt. that I agree on …its what “freedom of speech ” is about. And yes you can boycott all you want.

    But when that is said….can you justify that threats on Danes….the burning of flags….the beating of Danish aid workers….the bomb threats…..the lie that is spread ….the Imams from Denmark clearly lieing to your ovn people.

    Is all this actions that you can justify….???

    Let me help you…There is two answers to this question “yes” or “no”.
    If you answer is “NO”, then there is still hope for things to get soloved. If you answer is “Yes” then you clearly have a problem with all the people of the western world and the laws and our way of living here. Then there in only one thing for you and those who thinks like you, to do. Go back to the countries that you come from and live your ways there and do what ever you wanna do as long as you keep it in your part of the world. Boycott all you want, but do it all the way and also say “NO” to humanitarian help from the western world.

    Antother thing I can tell you is, that this morning there was an interview (in the news) with an Imam in Denmark saying this:

    He said he was pleased with what the News paper have said in the matter and what the Danish PM have said. And that its the most that we can get from this matter (he know the meaning of “freedom of speech”) and that he in his fridays pray will talk about muslims to calm down.

    DAN u still dont get it from me as well.. go to my first comments and see what i did write, i said once and here is the sentence again : ” let s stop talking about danish products and arab oil and all these stuff” u get my way of thinking now.. am not supporting everyone to go back home either not buycott products because even if we want it we wont be able to do it.. every nation import and export, how could it be if not?
    am not blaming you DAN,am just trying to clarify some stuff for u.. u still dont get what our prophet means for us.. just seeing moslems prefer to die to defend the prophet lead u to know it.. nation confrontations is not a way to go through, and one way to avoid this is respecting the other, danish pple re not only chritians but also moslems and others..
    u said i may hate the western pple and way of life if i choose “yes” let me tell u that part of my family re chritians yes DAN they re germans.. and we live so perfect respecting each other and so on..

    you all know what happen in the world after 11/9, clashes between moslems and others, so why we re making such other problems, i swear that the magazine memebers know that putting these cartoons will burn the fire, and no one deny it.. they want to burn it so they do it..
    again DAN am not supporting the hate between all mankind.. be sure that we will live in peace again if everyone gets his right but with limit for not hurting the other.

    this a verse from the holy book “koran”

    [49.13] O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware.

  8. Dani says:

    XXX….I dont care what any religion says…I respect all man kind regardless of his or her religion. Untill the time that they show me that they aint worthy of my respect. And im telling you, I find it hard to keep my respect for the majority of muslims today. I have a job where I work with a lot of refugees from all over the world and I say that to let you know that im no rasists (just incase you should judge me as such).

    Apparently you still dont get the picture although I do see one word in your text that I see some light in “respect”. Regardless of what has happen ….is it respect to threaten other people…burning there flags and threaten with bombs or bombing churcses ??? That surely isnt respect nor does it call out for communication….does it ???

    Regardless of what I or anyone else think of the cartoons….dont make this about religion. Religion has no part in it ….dont mix it …see the big picture (can see you have a problem with it…but try). Its about time that the muslim stops mixing in religion every time you have a problem. Use that respect you talk so highly of ….or is it just words ???

    Every time the west does something that isnt acording to the muslim way of living …you steer up trouble…NewsFlash…this is the west and its our laws and rules that counts here. Let me give you an ex.:

    Muslim woman can go with there face covered here and do as they want, you dont see us stoning or beating them up. I would like to see what happens if a western woman did that in a muslim country. She wouldnt make it back home alive. But…and here comes the word you like talking about “respect”….when we go to another country….we respect the laws and the way of living there as everyone should if they choose to settle down in another country.

    I dont see why you dont get it nor the many other people….but let me try turning it around. If something happens in a muslim country, like the time with the woman that was stoned to death. Should we (the west) have reacted in the same way as you (the muslim) react now ….or was it good that we at that time used the diplomatic way through communication ????

    The muslim world and people put this matter where it is ….You guys handeled it all wrong, even now some muslims things its getting out of control. This matter should have been handeled by the muslim organisations in Denmark, by communication and no other way.

    In the western world ….we do respect people and there different backgrounds….and if we do something thats against the laws there is a very good court system to deal with that. And that is where the muslim community should have handled this matter …no where else. You (the muslim) took this thing to far, its time for you to get things down to a human level and deal with it that way. The point of no return is very close and will be crossed if anyone person will get hurt or any violent action is taken against any human in this matter. Hopefully we all can agree on, that we dont want that to happen.

  9. Jensen says:

    Xxx I have been tying to be settle with you so fare – but I see no chance you your self are going to follow the example suggested by Fahad – so here goes…

    Stop imposing your religion on us – we don’t wont it or it’s dogma – we did not impose those cartoons on you! They were published in a DANISH news paper – one could ask the question how does a Danish news paper make it to the Middle East as it hardly makes it to our neighboring countries?

    I know some fanatic Danish Muslims have been touring the Middle East with false cartoons and statements – but the fact of the matter is that YOU wish this to get big – YOU wish to impose your religious dogma on us – YOU are ones wanting this to get violent – YOU, YOU, YOU and YOU! – not us!

    Now WE want YOU to respect and tolerate our society in our country – I don’t know if you have hard that democratic countries are allowed to decide how to run their own countries! WE respect and tolerate the rules of your countries when we go there – no freedom for expressing, no democracy… – you would never find a Dane not following the local law when being a visitor! – well guess it will take some time before you se any Danish in the Arab world given your complete intolerance!

  10. xxx says:

    brother or sister DAN, we have some issues that we re not agree with:

    1 : since u talk about word ” respect” for moslems they see that these cartoons re not respect of the other persons . and u say it s just cartoons which doesnt mean anything to islam . so this is the first issue.

    2 : u dont like the react from the moslems, and they see it the less they can do to defend their religious values.

    3 : u say that u work with non danish people and u re not racist, i didnt say u re racist… as i am not, i studied with koreans and other africans and also europeans, and am not racist as well, and they feel so confortable here… the problem is that u have a bad image about arab countries u know why bcos of the media.. the media is the danger fact in our days..
    ps : make a earch in google about AGADIR (morocco) city where i live and see how many tourists come here..

    4 : brother or sister dan, if moslem women can do what they want there, like putting scarf and so on, come to morocco and see how moroccans deal with forgein pple, maybe more than the locals, they re treated great here, they enjoy life here..especialy now, the sun is shining everyday while it s frozen there.. again not get all the news from media…try to ask and meet pple who were here urself..if moslems bring some stuff that is unknown there like the way of wearing clothes and so so, also the earopeans re bringing many stuff to moslem countries, exemple, the way of wearing clothes,, clothes which not covering there all bodies and this is not fit to islam,, but they do what they want and they re welcomed here, they re free,, also wine which is not allowed for msolems, but they have it here and they enjoy it i mean the europeans..and so on u see now.. they re all feel better here..

    DAN, am not against u or whatever else.. we have different background so what we should do is to respect each other as u said and i did as well..

  11. xxx says:

    Jensen :
    make sure my brother that i am not imposing my religion on you.. and am proud to be a moslems and no can change it..

    Something is very wrong with this site – the following it suppose to be in the post above:

    well – then what is the problem about Mohammed cartoons in Denmark?

  16. majid says:

    I would like to advise all non-Muslims to read about Islam. There are plenty of good websites and some of them I would suggest are: http://www.sultan.org/articles/prophetmuhammad.html, http://www.islamtoday.com, http://www.wefound.org/texts/Muhammad_files/Muhammad3.htm . I suppose, not knowing about Islam is a major concern these days with most of the non-Muslims.

  17. Dani says:

    Maj…You should read some of my posted messages course for some reason you stil havent gotten the big picture yet. For some unknown reason moste of the Muslim people are just as bad at seeing it.

    All this is not about religion, you guys are dragging it into the debate.

    And apparently now you are burning buildings down to ….STOP ALL YOUR SHIT AND BEHAVE LIKE GROWNUPS.

    YOU ARE STANDING ON THE LINE OF “POINT OF NO RETURN” DONT CROSS IT !!!

  18. Tario says:

    IF all what happen is so called expression of freedom, why then Roma football supporter showing their support for their team the
    fascist way, they have been banned for further 2 matches. I challenge the Dansih newspaper to caricature the holocaust meth,
    is n’t it forbidden in most European countries, so am I lagging here, where is this so called freedom, or is it only in my back yard.

  19. Dani says:

    In my eyes you muslim people just crossed “The point of no return”.

    Burning and attacing the Danish Embassy. Trashing UN offices.

    Where is the respect you all talk about ….what a joke ….you dont know the word. You are the one that need to say you are sorry. Nothing justifys your actions.

    I see no peace in your actions. Not even close.

    You just lost all my respect.

  20. Dani says:

    You guys (muslim people) are not even close to beeing human …I Have just seen a news repport, where schools made small kids hold Danish flag that where burning…Damn …you guys are sick. Making kids do that ….you should be ashamed. And dont give me a speech about religion….becourse thats just plain sick.

    I have so much contemt for you guys at the moment and your actions, thats Im lost for words.

    Keep it up and you will get the rest of the world against you.

    No need to comment on this, the only action that will be accepted is you guys backing of and calming down.

  21. xxx says:

    slow down dan, we re not human u said , what a respect is this? yeh yeh u have reason “freedom of speech” no one can stop u… u watch tv , u see newspapers then u get ur self anger then u fill the white pages here with ur unrespecting comments, by the way thank u.. i see that u re not even a believer bcos u never try to appoligize as the vatecan members themselves said that the cartoons were unacceptable. ok u may not trusting ur religion as well but u do with the magazine, so believe what all reported in magazines and the media, as i told u re addicted with the media..

    by the way a danish company have lost 1.8 millions $ everyday, so tell them to get it back from the magazine drawers.. u see u started not repsecting us and here as well we can turn it back to u..

    so calm down and take things so suriously, and if u see that ur self is right then congratulations..

    be sure that this non human being who write u here now has a chritian’s wife whiche is not like u and we live in peace. ur head is full of hate..

    if u re not a beliver go and learn something about religion b4 u put ur comments here… learn learn then u can win..

    if u see ur danish flags burns which i dont want to see as well, go to history and learn again to see how europeans countries occupied us in the 20 century and destroy everything here in our land..and learn how they made nations slaves to them..if moslems burn ur flag right now even bcos of one reason go back again to history how the european occupation burnt the big library in egypt centuries ago and they stole thousands of books ..

    if u learn u can see that moslems occupied spain b4 it but make sure and learn again to know that we brought to spain, light of sciences and prosperity so go and learn history..

    u see how did u make my comment now, so am i a human being or not now.

    gd luck

  22. Dani says:

    XXX….I’ll make you a promise….the day you actually read and comment on what I have written on this site ..I’ll make 3 X’s in my calender. Course so far you have avoided that ….like every time anyone speak to a muslim.

    Untill you people learn to get along with eachother (ex. Iraks invation and Irak vs. Iran and so on) do not even try to lecture anyone else and dont try to force your way of living on to us.

  23. xxx says:

    never said to u be a msolem or not i just tried to make u and others how do we love our prophet and defend him.and it makes us crying to see these cartoon,tell me would u like to see some1 cry in front of u ? ,plz just tell me what does it mean to put a bomb on a prophet picture, a prophet who was chosen by god and u do that with him,,, it s not really fair brother dan ..

  24. Jensen says:

    re: xxx
    What is up with you and being stuck in the History books – get over it and wake up and smell the present!

    From rereading all the post here I get the idée that some of the Muslims who have been participating in here – are trying to tell us all what a wonderful person Mohammed was and what a peaceful religion Islam is.

    Well then could you please explain to my how come several thousand Muslims today burned down the Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Chili embassies in Syria?

    You know what – skip Denmark and Norway (both countries have published the cartoons – But what about Sweden and Chili? Non of these countries have seen or printed the Mohammed cartoons?

    Ps. Don’t go out of your way to ansaw any questions we ask you…

  25. majid says:

    “One of the greatest things that makes a Muslim proud is his belief and love of the Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention). Muslims believe in all the Messengers and the Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention, and do not distinguish between any of them — except that our Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is the last and final messenger and prophet, and he is the best of them. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is the first one for whom the gates of Paradise will be opened; belief in him, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is the way to Paradise, as no one among those who were born after his prophethood, will be permitted entry (i.e. to Paradise) unless they had believed in him, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.”

  26. Dani says:

    You guys are so sick and you keep proving that there not likely will be peace on earth as long as you handel yourself as un-human as you do.

    you act like children with no upbringing, that doesnt know right from wrong.

    No matter how right or wrong the drawing or anything is, there is no justifying your violent actions at all ….you keep proving that by your violent ways of handling yourself.

    beond reach.

  27. xxx says:

    jensen read the last comment from majid to know what our prophet is.
    well i would like to tell you that am not a spoksman of the poeple in surya am here in morocco far away from there. if they burn swidish or chili flags so they have their reasons, who knows what the embassies there would say about our prophet as well, freedom of speech as u claim to call it can made it again.

    i would smell the present and taste it, and at this moment i smell the smoke of the israli’s strike on gaza last night, this what u want to know right now, this is what i smell mr jensen.

    try to be quite and if u want to know the source of the danish problem accept or not we were living in peace till the dane magazine burn the fire and they make it spreaded around the world.. am not blaming the whole danemark and its people.. peace be with them but those who hurt our hearts by these cartoons i wish they get to realize that there freedom has passed its limit to bleed the others..

  28. xxx says:

    Dear All

    I’ve read all ur comments & here is some items i really want to ask those who believe in freedom of speech:
    1- Why the free speech should include insulting each others believe?
    2- why they never speech about the good & positive things?
    3- how come we get blind when we should use our pen for all human rights & gather all peoples together inspite of making space ?
    4- You all believe that Muslim countires looks like a place without freedom , but one question araise here to me & need an answer :” where is the freedom when in France they do not allowed girls with scarf to go educating?”
    why u’re all wants to make our issues big deal but when it gets to yours it’s nothing .
    If you want to judge plz be my guest & wash your eyes before saying any thing else.
    maybe if u had read about our graet prophet’s life you never said such words & accept it.
    i fill sorry for all of these people for their ignorance.

  30. Dani says:

    Nadia…Why dont you relate some of the question I have giving. Course you are so way off base there.

    Answer to no. 1 and 2:
    That is done to ….the freedom of speech alsow include talk about the good things. But the muslim people just dont wanna know about that. Becourse you cant talk bad or make any violent things about that. Here is just one good thing Denmark did for your muslim brothers, the earthquake not long ago in pakistan. In Denmark we had and Aid consert and raised a lot of money to help them. One of the highest amount in Denmark.

    When we use freedom of speech we dont go around and threaten people ….We dont brun flags or embassies. Who’s the peacefull people ….???

    Answer to no. 3:
    Your people get blind, All we see from you are voilent and hatefull acts. Please tell me one good thing you did for anyone but yourself ??

    Answer to no. 4:
    Yes that we see, no freedom and no peace.
    If people dont like the laws in a country, Leave that country, how hard can that be ???

    Every muslim not living in Denmark …I urge you to read all that happened in this matter and not only what you get from your media. Then you would know that its the Imams of Denmark that went to your countries and spreaded lies (and yes this has been proven) about Denmark, to further there own agenda.

    So now we know that muslim (main part) lies, threaden people, burn flags and embassies, Beat up aid workers, Make bomb threats …..I dont see the peace loving people you talk so much about …WHere are they ???

    Not even your own muslims people in Denmark supports your violent act.
    They attends peacefull demonstrations …together with the Danes.

    Nadia …you talk about ignorance…..what a joke ….what a conceited people you are, if you think that.

  31. xxx says:

    mrs dan, i think u would never change ur mind. and i think u re not representing the whole danish citizens. there re danish who would say “yes we appologise” and there some who would say ” no we wont” included you.
    ok u know if we start write here comment till next year we would never get an agreement.
    we moslems re 1.8 bilion, u may say we re all out of control, and could 1.8 bilion moslem say that you re right? of course no.
    i have gave u many exemples to read and get an idea but u didnt accept any.
    we have background that is islam and u may have nothing to base on. if ur danish law is perfect for u so live with it and i wish u good luck.

  32. Dani says:

    XXX…its mr. to you ….And yes you are right ….we will never agree, becourse so far you have not even answered one of my questions on this side …you have avoided them all specially them that would misscredit the muslim actions. But I have answered and even reached out….and still no answeres from you…Shows it all.

    Yes I prefere the Danish laws and thanks for your good luck. So stop trying to dictate what we can and can not do in Denmark. At least we dont do all the violent things that the muslim people have shown the world for to long.

    Can tell you that all the places I have seen …it says that there is 1.3 and NOT 1.8 Bill moslims. But the way you are killing eachother no wonder the number is going down.

    BTW…look at what I write in my post no. 130 ….In answer 3 : Where are and what are any good things ???

    And….
    To answer no. 4 : Where are those peace loving muslims ???

    Ohh and an answer to what you have said earlier on here …I love the weather here in Denmark ….incl. the cold. Anyone that doesnt like it or can respect the way we handle ourself in the west, DONT COME. Dont get me wrong ….everyone is welcome here…if they accept our laws and way of living. We dont force anything on you, you are free to do as you please within the laws. We dont welcome you with flag burnings, violent threats, bombing churches, nor do we kidnap you.

    That we welcome anyone ….is to me respect for others ….I yet fail to see your point about the muslim people having respect for others by your violent actions ( yet another of my questions you didnt reflect on).

    Im done…

  33. xxx says:

    look dan, i gave a questions and i didnt get an answers and i ve answered many time but u never be satisfied, i would nt answer bcos u would never accept it.

    ur say “I yet fail to see your point about the muslim people having respect for others by your violent actions ( yet another of my questions you didnt reflect on).” wow my violent actions thx for judgement, make sure i never burn a flag and burn anything else.

    u said that moslem’s number will go down.. how and islam is the most growing religion all over the world.

    ur misconceptions about islam lead u to be blind . u know nothing about islam that s why u say whatever.. i told u to learn and then judge ” dont judge islam by people but judge people by islam” first know what is islam then say this is moslem and this is not .. dont blame islam bcos of some poeple reactions..

    by the way i knew a danish girl who embraced islam, u know what is her wish : to leave danemark and live in moslem country..i always wonder why, and now one reason has appeared , freedom of speech that hurt others.

    if u like moslmes to leave ur country i would say i want the eauropeans to stay here in morocco.. even they do not respect our islamic law ( not drinking wine, not eating pork,not having illegal sex,”homosexuality” also not being naked in our public streets…..)

    the matter is not answering ur questions the matter is that u wont accept..

    i have one question : would ur freedom of speach lead u to support hitler and what he did? even it hurts the others.. can u?

  34. Lorenzo L. Gallo says:

    As an Italian man who has lived in Denmark for some years (and found the Danes quit less good-natured than I expected), I must remind you that ‘Jyllandsposten’ is a fanatic right-wing newspaper and it was just trying to give a hand to the right-wing government of Denmark, stranded in the Iraqi bloodbath, with some good old racism and islamophobic prejudices.
    Unfortunately, the matter went out of hand, but they obtained to offend the feelings of millions of muslims all over the world and proving to them that the European so-called “democracies” only care for religious feelings when they concide with the majority of the population (well, the Sohah proved it quite clearly – it surely wasn’t started by muslims).
    Have you seen the drawings? Maybe if you had, you wouldn’t be so keen on them. And Christians surely wouldn’t have tolerated them if they had concerned Jesus. Did you know that last year in my country, in the heart of the EU, there was a wave of prosecutions against some “blasphemous” (anti-catholic) websites? So please spare us that “liberty of speech in the Western World”-nonsense … let us rather join ourselves with the muslim people against this vile aggression, acknowledging that we must condem the violence of acts in Syria and elsewher, but the violence of words and images in western countries as well.

  35. Dani says:

    XXX…If you knew what “Freedom of speech” meant ….you would know that you are allowed to say what you want ….as long as you dont threaten anyone else. Hitler would be allowed to speak his mind as long as he didnt threaten other people, nor groupe of people. But since he couldnt and didnt …then nope ….But if anyone stayes within the law then everyone can speak here also without anything happening to them.

    One of the writers on http://www.tightladies.com/blog2/blog2.htm made an excellent point pertaining to the boundries of free speech versus the respect for religious beliefs.

  39. xxx says:

    Chap : it is a pure english and if u dont understand it, take a dectionary or have a translator.

    Lorenzo L. Gallo : thank u very much for more explainations, i think DAN doesnt know what the meaning of religions bcos he has never tasted it. then he could say whatever about prophets and so on. ur freedom of speech may even draw jesus in such bad ways… it s unacceptable..those who were chosen by god to bring us his message finnaly reported in newspapers in ways that u dont even want to ur slef mr DAN.

    DAN : i hope hope hope u get the point. and i hope hope hope that the response of the moslems would be so peacefull.. but to blame all moslems bcos of what happen in surya and lebanon that s not fair. moslems re not only in surya and lebanon but from the atlantic ocean till the east asia..

    we moslem, whatever our nation’s law is we would never be able to make cartoons like these in danmark about our prophet, juses,moses ….. peace be upon all of them.

    I say boycott the Danmarxs, it would be better if every Muslim would also boycott the newspapers involved, especially when it comes to thier reporters journalists, theres a lot of them in Pakistan, Iraq, Iran Palestine, just refuse to be interviewed by these reporters dont offer them any comments, boycotting Danmarkist products, lets be serious I dont even know what they make, but hurt thier Newspapers, dont boy a single product that is advertised in those papers….

  41. Lorenzo L. Gallo says:

    I’ve heard a lot of racist mumblings these days, sometimes even by close associates; the commonest was: “This (burning and attacks) wouldn’t happen in our country”. This is not true. It did happen, and it could happen again just any time. Human beings are the same everywhere, bad and good, god-fearing and god-hating and (mostly) fearing their own God and hating anyone else’s.
    I just want to say to anybody, muslims or christians or atheists, that the true enemy for mankind are those faceless people that preach hatred, be they newspaper owners or mob leaders. I suggest that we rather unite all in the affection and respect for each other, against these monsters that want to dominate the world by dividing it up into small closed communities, that intensely dislike each other.
    To all muslim friends on this discussion, and to the Danes as well, I would also like to make a present of this sentence by author Carsten Jensen that describes my exact feelings, and could be applied not only to Denmark, but to Italy, Israel or any other country: “Jeg vil ikke leve i et land, som for at kunne elske sig selv er nødt til at bilde sig ind, at det er bedre end alle andre” (“I don’t want to live in a country, which can only love itself by imagining to be better than all others”).

    This is the reaction you will have just before an inferior culture hits its grave.
    The illiterate pack can not resist the forces of reason much longer.
    Their women will take to Western customs and their men will become weak.
    We should hit their women with education, their children with MTV and entertainment, and finally,
    their men with bombs, if needed.

  43. xxx says:

    R.Nalland : how offensive you are, freedom of speech allows you to say all that. read this beautiful verse : ” And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit” coran verse.
    so i have to deal with u by the best way,and for u, u can hit our women,hit our children,hit our men ,do whatever. but be sure that there re always a pure moslems that doesnt care to all these poisons u ve said.

    and islam still remains the most growing religion all over the world and no 1 deny that.

    of course your speech doesnt affect me and never change my view point toward peacefull chritians jews and all the rest. u re not representing them.

    may god guides you.

    I am horrified by racist comments in this thread. I wonder whether the time has come to shut it down, before some “Europeans” bring even more shame to the name of Europe, reminding the rest of the world that modern racism was born in here.
    I cannot apologize for what other people have said through no fault of mine, but I would like to ensure our muslim friends that I feel revulsion for these racist madmen and I’m not the only one.
    Of course, I may not feel confortable with all aspects of some islamic cultures (such as the position of women in present day Saudi Arabia, etc.), but I don’t feel I have the right to come and preach you what is right and what is wrong, especially after so much evil has been worked by western peoples troughout their history.
    By the way, did you know the Danes have been some of the most efficient slave traders in the 18th century? There is a very informative book by Thorkild Hansen called “Ships of slaves” that will inform our muslim friends on how democratic Danes were back then. It took just three centuries for a Dane to see how wrong his ancestors were…

  45. xxx says:

    Lorenzo L. Gallo : brother lorenzo, i still believe as many other moslems that there re always great persons like you that s why we dont blame all.. about dane history,i read about it, i know what their ships have done in the medeteranian sea through centuries ago, but in fact i dont want to mention that bcos the present danes have not responsabilities about it.. what we have to think about right now is building bridges of love and success.. thanks again brother lorenzo

    Hvis du er så utilfreds med Danmark og Europa, Så kan jeg ikke forstå at du stadig er her. Hvad laver du her så ??
    For det er da tydeligt at du ikke har det særligt godt, så hvis jeg var dig og havde det så dårligt et sted ville jeg da ikke ønske at være det sted.

  47. Lorenzo L. Gallo says:

    Dan, It was very impolite of you to speak your language in an international conversation, so I’ll reply to you first in Danish, then in English:
    Det var længe siden, da jeg vendte tilbage til Italien fra Danmark, og dets “bløde” rasismus. Man kan godt mærke, at jeg har nu begyndt at glemme sproget. Med Italien står del hele dog anderledes: det er mit land. Jeg er utilfreds med dets nuværende tilstand, men jeg vil og skal arbejde for at gøre mit land et bedre sted at live i for alle, uanset hudfarve, religion m.m. Og det burde Danskerne også gøre, synes jeg. Men det vedrører mig ikke længere.
    “It was long since I’ve come back to Italy from Denmark and its “soft” racism. One can easily see, that I have started to forget how to speak Danish. With Italy, though, the whole matter stands differently: it is my country. I’m not satisfied with its present situation, but I want and must work in order to make my land a better place to live in for everybody, no matter his/her skin colour, religion etc. Danes should do the same, in my opinion. But it doesn’t concern me any longer”.

  48. Faith says:

    Since when freedom of speech is a right to offend the principle of a religion? In the US if you offend anyone based on his
    ethnic background or his/her religion you will be prosecuted for discrimination. Now, give me one good reason as to why
    Muslims should not be angry? A picture speaks a thousand words; as all of you know; then how come you claim in this case
    “It’s only a cartoon”? It’s not just a cartoon, it’s an insult to a religion and all its followers. You are not asked to
    become a Muslim or believe in its profit but that doesn’t give you the right to insult it either. It’s just not right…

    For those who claim holocaust cartoons is just as bad, I tell them, since when holocaust has become the face of Moses? Think about it.

  49. Jensen says:

    Lorenzo… what a load of s…!

    You wouldn’t know freedom of expression if t hit you in your face – do you really think Catholic censorship is a justification for Muslim censorship or the other way around?

    Hmm well if you know so mush about Denmark surely you know we would never accept either Catholic or Muslim censorship! Seems to me like you are trying to justify your Italian censorship by an all out religious censorship – and if that doesn’t work you can always play the racist card! Nice one Lorenzo – you are doing really good!

    Italy – in the canter of Europe?

    I believe Churchill’s words were “the soft underbelly of Europe” – now I’m not one for judging an entire nation on the basis of one mistake – but it seems to me that you fit the descriptions just fine. No backbone and no sense of democratic values, what a waste!

    I can’t believe I’m sitting here and listening to this from an Italian – I have so many fine Italian friends that support Denmark and democracy – well just goes to show that religion can shot the eyes on even on of the finest people of Europe.

    xxx: go through all the post’s ones again and ansaw anything you did not jet ansaw – and stop pointing fingers at others just because you’ve been made – now get at it!

  50. Dani says:

    To Faith and all other muslim person that still didnt get what this is all about og is just to ignorant to get it.

    Fist read this link:
    http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=5&article_id=21654

    There is no one that has said you (muslims) shouldnt be offended by the cartoons. NO ONE …its okay you are.

    And those of you that is offended should let people know that is offends you.

    That is what democracy is all about and is how we do things in the civilized world. We dont have to agree on everything, but we (the western world) knows how to talk to eachother.

    An ex.:
    “Here its not the “kid” that scream the loudest or makes riotsin the class, that gets his way, He disturbes the communication in the class, so that no one else can talk. Thats why he gets send out side of the class room. So that everyone else in the class can continue communicationg with eachother.”

    But what is NOT okay is and witch is beond contempt is:

    – Boycotting Danish products for something a News paper did. (that does not hurt(non violent way) the newspaper, but only the people of denmark, companies and even your own people)

    – Those threats that is made against every Dane.

    – The voilent acts against Denmark and the Danish people.

    – Burning of the Danish Flag.

    – Spreading lie about Denmark.

    – Making bomb threats toward Danish interests.

    – Calling for holy war on Danmark and its people.

    I do not care how angry, mad and offended you are at the cartoonsor anything else …NOTHING …I mean NOTHING that is justifying your voilent actions NOTHING.

    I say that to you …and I would say the same to anyone else that would make the same uncivilized actions.

    Again, NOTHING justifies actions like that. And it surprices me you arent abel to see that.

    And dont give me the “its the fanatic” people doing it, that might be, th you have an obligation to speak up and get the voilence stopped, NOW.

    News:
    A News paper in Iran making a cartoon competition, Damn you people are behaving like small kids with no upbringing. What a joke and dobbelt standard.

    Its so childish and will NOT bring you understanding, just the opporsite. The same goes for the violent actions.

    Even your own people are hurt by this, among them are two writers that where suppose to give a speech in Denmark. Theny cancelled becourse they are afraid of the consequence when they return home.

    You guys crossed “the point of no return” by all your actions. Your job is now, to get back across the line and let dialog talk and NOT violence and threating actions.

    I hope you get my point now, Course if not you are beond human, cililized and intelligent reach.
