Every single portrayal I've ever seen of Muslim Arabs (both terrorists and innocents) in American TV shows and movies, is a complete misrepresentation. If anyone wants to truly understand the key difference between Muslim Arab vs. Western culture, an incredibly accurate article came out yesterday. http://drsanity.blogspot.com/2006/02/shame-guilt-muslim-psyche-and-danish.html Western societies= Guilt Culture Muslim Arab societies= Shame Culture <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=975291>
The worst part is , only a couple of the cartoons had any merit. Near as i can tell, only one was funny, and one well drawn. Then again the danes aren't known for humour either, but it has to be asked-lets say the paper had published a series of serious portraits, in classic renaissance style or whatever, would the result be the same? Would it be equally insulting?
You're joking, right? The Boss of Iran is even less stable than that lunatic who runs North Korea. In his latest rant, he places the blame for this whole Danish Cartoon mess square on a Vast Jewish Conspiracy: 'The caricatures amounted to a âconspiracy by Zionists who were angry because of the victory of Hamas,â he said, referring to the Palestinian militant group that won a surprise landslide victory in last monthâs elections.' http://asia.news.yahoo.com/060207/ap/d8fk8db80.html It's not the poor muz's fault they rioted, burned down embassies and are ready to cut the heads off any Dane they can find, it's all the fault of the Jooooos! The cartoons were published months ago, so there's no way they could have prompted the Vast Jewish Conspiracy to drive the muz to rape and pillage.
NY Press Kills Cartoons; Staff Walks Out FILE UNDER: Newspapers The editorial staff of the alternative weekly New York Press walked out today, en masse, after the paper's publishers backed down from printing the Danish cartoons that have become the center of a global free-speech fight. Editor-in-Chief Harry Siegel emails, on behalf of the editorial staff: New York Press, like so many other publications, has suborned its own professed principles. For all the talk of freedom of speech, only the New York Sun locally and two other papers nationally have mustered the minimal courage needed to print simple and not especially offensive editorial cartoons that have been used as a pretext for great and greatly menacing violence directed against journalists, cartoonists, humanitarian aid workers, diplomats and others who represent the basic values and obligations of Western civilization. Having been ordered at the 11th hour to pull the now-infamous Danish cartoons from an issue dedicated to them, the editorial groupâconsisting of myself, managing editor Tim Marchman, arts editorJonathan Leaf and one-man city hall bureau Azi Paybarah, chose instead to resign our positions. We have no desire to be free speech martyrs, but it would have been nakedly hypocritical to avoid the same cartoons we'd criticized others for not running, cartoons that however absurdly have inspired arson, kidnapping and murder and forced cartoonists in at least two continents to go into hiding. Editors have already been forced to leave papers in Jordan and France for having run these cartoons. We have no illusions about the power of the Press (NY Press, we mean), but even on the far margins of the world-historical stage, we are not willing to side with the enemies of the values we hold dear, a free press not least among them. This was not an easy decision. I've been reading the Press since 1988 and have dreamed of running it for nearly as long. The paper's editorial staff has worked impossibly hard hours and has come quite a ways in only a few months towards restoring the paper's tarnished editorial reputation and credibility. I'm proud of the work we've done, and wish we'd had time to finish the job. I wish the Press all the best, and hope that under new ownership and leadership it can again be an invaluable read for all good Gothamites.

You won't see any big counter riots because the Jews, the target in this case, are bloating in front of their bloated TVs, or driving their bloated SUVs, like all the rest of the "don't really care enough about anything to jeopardize missing Desperate Housewives" bloats in the "civilized" world. Here's a link for ya, in case you're bored and don't know what you want to eat, lol. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/diet.fitness/02/07/health.fastfood.reut/index.html
That's not the reason at all. Once again, THIS is. Also, kudos to the <b>San Francisco Gate</b> for publishing the Danish drawings. Yes, you heard me- The SF Gate. A bunch of Birkinstock wearing homosexual liberal hippies apparently have more balls to stand up for freedom of speech/freedom of the press than nearly every single one of the nation's conservative & neocon journalists. :eek:
Lmao, that's not "standing up", that's doing something controversial and trying to boost sales tomorrow. Sorry, but the fear of missing something, of not having any fun, is why the West won't riot. We're busy with our toys.
If that is the case, then why are the other newspapers chickening out and not reprinting the "offensive" cartoons? After all, every newspaper wants to boost sales, right?
