Jerusalem Post | Gaza EU office shuts down over cartoon
I guess a Danish paper had a cartoon of Muhammad, with a bomb as a turban or something like that. Then, a French newspaper (before surrendering) reprinted the cartoon. Now, so surprisingly, Islamic extremists are threatening violence:
A leaflet signed by a Fatah militia and the Islamic Jihad said the EU office and churches in Gaza could come under attack and urged all French citizens to leave Gaza
Is this really the only way these people know how to react? All these people do is threaten and commit violent acts when they don't like something. They are out in the streets burning Danish flags, and yelling things. This again shows the hypocracy in the Muslim world. They are quick to take to the streets about what a paper in a country they are far from publishes.. but have no problem with killing civilians or Muslims cutting the heads off of people. Muhammad would be proud! You don't see Jews marching in the streets because non-Jews eat pork on Friday. You don't see Christians threating to blow people up because Muslims bow to another God. Nobody cared a few years ago when Muslims blew up giants statues of Buddha in Afghanistan. But, be damned if you publish a cartoon!!
I could understand protests, boycotts and angry letters. But, why always the threat of violence? These are stone age minds with weapons over there. I can understand the anger of feeling offended, but c'mon.. grow up.
