But you took my comment the wrong way, what I meant was many other people do things that upset or offend, but do you see others reacting in such a way? No you don't, that was the point I was making.

You're too closed minded to look at or accept other peoples view points, many of which are justified, logical and sensical.
Chocoholic wrote:So I'll just say this, yes the paper were wrong for publishing the cartoons, but you cannot punish and entire nation for a few peoples mistakes, and the violent reactions are a disgrace, as has been said many muslims missed the chance to deal with it in a proper manner - so you condon the guy in Pakistan putting a bounty on the cartoonists head? Way to go to reinforce bad opinions about muslims and Islam! Plus the boycotts have put the jobs of 1000 Muslims in the region in jepordy, so they're being punished too! Way to go to look after your own!
Chocoholic wrote:Well the Danish paper did print an apology, so why is this not done with now?
Don't bring wars and stuff into the depate, it has nothing to do with it and just ends up sidetracking the issue.
Yes a whole nation is being punished for a few peoples mistakes. And no the Danish PM should not apologise, he is not responsible for what the paper publishes, if he were to apologise it's like being big brother and goes against the concept, once again, of free speech. So it was always down to the paper to directly apologise for it's actions - it's done that.
End of.
well think twice cos there will b repercussions like protest and boycott....not burning embassies
