Hey all,

Have you guys seen this story? A Danish newspaper printed several cartoons of Mohammed last September and this has led to complaints to the UN, death threats, and boycotts of Danish goods in some Arab nations (which is how I first saw the story on ILENN, because many of the news stories say boycott Danish products including ... LEGO ...). Then this morning I saw it in the Post because several other European newspapers reran the cartoons in solidarity with the Danish paper, and apparently the editor of one French paper got sacked over this. You can see the cartoons in question on this blog.

(...) Here is a bigger archive of Mohamed cartoons over the ages, up to the present.

		Re: Danish cartoons outrage some Moslem groups and nations
(...) I don't normally check out off-topic. Glad I did. I have no interest or knowledge in the religious beliefs of other people and nor should I be required too. So if I see a news report that believers in some religion about which I know nothing (...) (18 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
