Oh, wait! They did! I think they give way too much power to those cartoons. I'll show my support for Denmark; I should start buying Band and Olufsen. Give mig en øl! Tuborg!

I think they give way too much power to those cartoons.

I’ll show my support for Denmark; I should start buying Band and Olufsen.

Give mig en øl! Tuborg!

Here or there, all a religious person need do if they are offended is turn the channel or the page, and Presto! it's gone. As for Christian Fundamentalist pushing their views <i>outside</i> the country, exhibit "B" is the "abstinence" clauses forced on AIDS workers to get American money. <em>Fair enough. - SF</em> It wasnt supposed to be an attack on Fundamentalists, Christian or Muslim, but a demonstration of people throwing their weight around for religious reasons.

As exhibit "A" I give you the show "The Book Of Daniel", pulled from the air due to religious furor. <em>I guess we part company, here. I often find Christian Fundamentalists obnoxious and arrogant, and as a Christian myself, they embarrass me. But this is their country, and they have every right to bring their views to the table, and to throw their economic weight around. Like every other lousy special interest group. And I believe Muslims have the right to be pissed and offended by the cartoons. They just don't have the right to demand that people in other countries give a shit. And you of course, are absolutely entitled to not like Christian Fundamentalists. ;-) Please feel free to elaborate on your feelings. It's an interesting dialogue. - SF</em> Not really that different from Christian Fundamentalists, except there isnt quite as large of a threat of bombing by the Christians.
