#2 'Cartoons reflect Europe's Islamophobia'

...and the Muzzies' reaction to them validates it-- in spades.

#3 The Islamacists are delighted at the thought that Europe is afraid of Islam.

#4 Yeah, but what those Muslims don't understand is that Europeans aren't afraid of what Muslims might do to them; they're afraid of what they might have to do to the Muslims if things continue.

No one, but NO ONE, does violence like Europeans do. History has made them the all-time, world-class Grand Masters at profligate, genocidal carnage, and no one is more acutely aware of it than they-- and they do NOT want to repeat that history.

And that is where the fear comes from.

#5 The Oslo process was not a peace process. It was a process of deception and cheating and lies...

Well, I agree with him on that point. But our perspective may be a wee bit different.

#6 This nut has victimization down to a garment. He wears that garment every day for all to see. And he is correct, Paleos are children of a lesser God. Children of a Greater God get jobs, build a prosperous life style and save for a comfortable retirement. Victimization be damned.

#7 Dave D - Here's a reference - not sure how accurate it is regards non-Civil War stats... Where it lists Civil War battles, it's utter and total bullshit, grossly understated. Must've been written by a Russian... I leave it to others to critique for accuracy.

#8 Guys, I reckon the cartoon explosion is manufactured and organised by Qaida.

This is groundwork for their next attack.

WOT is a culture war not a military war for them.

They will smack us and it will be something unforgivable like Beslan, but the turbans don't want to be unpopular with the street as they've been lately.

So they have to whip up anti-west blasphemy hatred first to harden the muslim street's hearts and make it harder for us to get co-operation in hunting down the bad guys.

Look at it tactically: what have they got to gain from this?

everything: make the Muslim masses seethe, get more money, more recruits, more sympathy.

Reports were radical imams slipped in 3 offensive cartoons not even published in the Dane paper and put them about to whip up hatred.

Be on super red hot high alert.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

#9 Anon1, that is an interesting perspective based on thoughtful analysis. Yes, we all better be watching our six at this point.

#10 anon1 - I share your "bad feeling".

#11 One question on the why now Anon...Wasn't this whole thing sparked when multiple papers in several countries reprinted the cartoons? What was the impetus for doing that? The Imams weren't seething (and eye rolling, can't do one without the other, it just wouldn't do. Why they go together like eggs and bacon, or pork and beans or...well, you get the picture) over something months old, they were seething over the reprints I beleive. But, again, why were they reprinted. Was it because of threats to the Danish paper or the cartoonists? I know it was a statement of solidarity, but I don't know the spark that caused the other papers to do it.

#12 IIUC the Danish Islamacists tried to get the government to prevent the cartoons being published, and/or afterwards for an apology. Didn't get what they wanted, at which point they began the campaign to plan the uprisings pious protests.

#13 'Cartoons reflect Europe's Islamophobia'

Damn straight they do.

And - as is obvious by the islamos rioting, arson, and threats of murder and terrorism over a cartoon - they're absolutely right.

Next question?

#14 "...and people's right not to be insulted...we are living in a global village now...Americans were duped into believing that Bush was doing the right thing...We maybe weak politically, but we certainly are not stupid..."

In a different venue you might think the speaker was...uh nevermind.

#15 Europe's Islamophobia'

Phobia: An unreasonable sort of fear that can cause avoidance and panic.

Perhaps it's not as unreasonable as some people would like us to think?

You have a good point-they are getting more Muslims behind them with this-and your trepidation as well as that of others is certainly well-placed, but that must strengthen our resolve. 'Hearts and minds' was probably doomed from the beginning. We cannot hide from this fight now, folks. We should be at the forefront, but instead we are letting little Denmark do it for us. Yes, that's a first, and it's about time Europe woke up and carried its weight, but it is shameful that we are shirking our responsibility in confronting this HEAD-ON.

#17 From Melaniephillips.com:

But who wanted or caused the heat to become so turned up and why at that this particular moment? The clue to the answers to this second question lies in a second event almost certain to occur to today, if it has not already happened by the time this blog gets posted. This is the likely decision today in Vienna by the International Atomic Energy Agency to report Iran to the UN Security Council for continuing with its programme of nuclear research. If that decision should occur, when the UN Security Council gets round to considering what form of sanctions to impose on Iran, guess to whom chairmanship of the Council will have passed. You’ve got it... plucky little Denmark.

Suddenly, the pieces fall into shape. The rumpus suddenly escalated, complete with fabricated offensive cartoons, to so enflame Muslim opinion that Denmark could be intimidated directly through a threatened Muslim boycott of its goods, or indirectly by the EU fearful of a wider boycott, into voting in favour of Iran.

#18 Excellent analysis by you. Big mistake by them.
