Join with the <a href="http://skender.be/supportdenmark/">Support Denmark</a> initiative: <blockquote>On the 30th of September 2005 the Danish newspaper <a href="http://www.jp.dk">Jyllands-Posten</a> published <a href="MohammedDrawings.jpg">12 cartoons</a> depicting the prophet Mohammed. Mohammedans raised a storm of protest and two artists went into hiding after receiving death threats. Islamic organisations demanded an apology from the Danish government and the incident turned into a world-wide diplomatic issue. The <a href="http://www.oic-oci.org/">OIC</a> (the Organisation of the Islamic Conference), <a href="http://www.coe.int/T/e/Com/about_coe/">the Council of Europe</a> and the <a href="http://www.ohchr.org/english/about/hc/arbour.htm">UN</a> all criticised the government of Denmark for not taking measures against the newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The Danish prime minister <a href="http://www.stm.dk/Index/mainstart.asp?o=6&n=0&s=2&str=stor">Anders Fogh Rasmussen</a> defended the freedom of the press and free speech and stated that any measures, if appropriate, could not be taken by the government but only by a court of law. Meanwhile in Islamic countries Danish flags are burned and Danish products are taken off the shelves. Several countries have withdrawn their ambassadors from Denmark and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4661572.stm">armed men attacked the office of the EU in the Gaza strip</a>.</blockquote> If we do not stand firm for freedom now, who will stand for us when we are the targets? Enough is enough; we have kow-towed to these Muslim extremists for too long; we have bent over backwards in the purpose of "religious sensitivity" to the point where our spines are near snapping; we must stand up for our freedoms and our heritage and resist this inevitable slide towards cultural suicide! G-d Bless the Jyllands-Posten, and its brave writers and editors.Avinoreply@blogger.com
