This one seems to me almost like more of a childish provocation to pressure some extremist muslims to react, because this cartoons have been published time and time again! Not that I do not defend freedom of the press, but by such actions as these, those who wants some of the muslims to act violently, so they get further reasons to feed the tensions that already exists, and thereafter can demand stronger and harder measures against muslims, if they get the reaction they hope for. To me this seems unnessasary and not very clever to do. Why not leave those drawings out, everybody knows what their view is by now!

Purveyors of Islam will not be satisfied until they have pushed the entire world past the brink, and into all-out globar war with the secular west. And all of this is over a collection of Stone and Bronze Age claims that are not supported by evidence of any sort. Religion, of any kind, must not be allowed to dictate social or civil behavior to those who don't subscribe to their fairy tales.

1. The OIC is looking at things through a religious perspective. 2. Secular Europeans, and other people, should respect religious leaders and items ( Koran etc. ). 3. All religions should have an open mind and a slight sense of humour and tolerance.
