A vast majority of Muslims are uneducated and believe everything they are told by their religious leaders. If the clerics tell them to protest, they do it. The fact that any religion can manipulate people into such fanatics is frightening. I am certain that it does not state in any religious book that you should kill fellow human beings. In actual fact by doing that you are destroying God's creation.

There will be a second Holy War and only God will help us. This is way to crazy.........

and by the way it not anti islam cartoons... it wasn't posted like that anyway

Firstly, the cartoons should not have been published. Free speech is precious, vital and something that we strived long and hard to achieve. But with rights, come responsibilities, and these cartoons display a seriously irresponsible attitude.

Secondly, the protests should not have been conducted using violence, racism, and demonisation of the whole population and governments of those countries whose newspapers chose to publish them. The protests will only fan the flames of extremism on both sides.

I can't see why a danish newspaper can't print those cartoons. Denmark is a very liberal country. It's not that it was printed to the hole world. The world only knew about it when a "danish" Iman Abu Laban gathered a party and went to the middle east to complain. at least they could have complained in DK first. There he showed them (the middle east guys) pictures that haven't been brought in the paper and told them things that never had happened. He had already admitted that what he told them was the truth +VAT. I think this should have stayed as a national issue and not international. my guess is that 99% percent of the protestors don't really know what they are protesting about. all the translation and qoutings in the middle east are way out of limits. They qoute our Queen to be Anti Islam which she is not. some of the qoutes they come up with are even more fun than thos drawings. I can't help not thinking of the Iraqi information minister can't remember his name. Goebbels is pure water in comparison.
I hope this case will end soon as I don't think it is fair that danish citizen which don't anything to do with these drawing has to loose their jobs and fear for their life when going abroad. my 50cents

I also feel sometimes that these Islamic extremists are big attention
seekers, they'd do anything to get taped and shown on TV, burn flags,
destroy buildings, whatever little excuse they get. They live in their
own "magical","religious" world, where they are the only right ones,
surrounded by infidels, sure it must be annoying when the infidels
publish cartoons dissing them. Diplomacy is not a strong site for
Islam though, so they resort to direct actions first, before they sit
down to think about what's going on. Burn, kill, destroy, sit down to
think(?) about the consequences later...

I think if someone draws caricatures of Christ, Vatican will nuke'em

Imagine if these extremists had nuclear weapons as their disposal,
good bye Denmark!

I think it's time to create a new religion for the masses, for the
ones who don't want to ponder "why we're here?" for themselves, a peaceful
one, based on quantum physics and call it Quantianity or Quantam or
something... and let the church be the internet. I think the internet
is gonna be the only thing opposing the next world war, it's not easy
to misinform. The users of internet have the ability to view events from different
perspectives, not only what the local media or the government say,
which automatically makes them one step wiser, if they are not
ignorant of course...

You know what Iran's answer to this is? Make an international competition for the
best Holocaust caricature, now Israel is gonna Nuke em, just wait....

personnally ı dont see anything wrong with these cartoons and muslims have right to protest and display their revolt but of course in a peacufull way .
but couldnt the publisher and the cartoonist see the forthcoming ,extreme protests?this ı dont believe ...the situation is not as innocent as it seems.

I think Stuff is right to question the motives of those who have published the cartoons. They cry freedom of speech, but certainly the Norwegian editor who published them is the same guy that was screaming "blasphemy" when a Jesus parody was published a few years back. It makes one wonder about these people's agenda...

When all that's said and done, I think that if it wans't for its seriousness, the reaction is quite comical.
The home drawn flags that are being burned wouldn't be out of place in a Norwegian kindergarten.
The "I can insult you but you can't insult me" attitude (check out the anti-jewish caricatures that moslems have been producing for years)
The stupid campaign in Iran where they have a competition to see who can make worse (holocaust) cartoons than the Mohamed-drawings.
Describing the Danish queen as a pig.

All quite childish stuff really. It would give us all a good laugh if they wern't burning embassies - also a quite childish reaction, not exactly what you'd call a constructive dialogue. It seems to be a case of "I must be right because I shout loudest"
