A religious cartoon that finally makes sense:

And, it's offensive to several religions!

(Thank you, vito-excalibur!)

The origin of one of the fake "cartoons" has been solved:

Just in case anyone thinks I support Bush or the war in Iraq, I'd like to take the opportunity to clear that up:

That is all.

While doing some more reading about the whole "Death to Denmark" thing from the extremist Muslim groups, I came across a series of blogs urging people to "Buy Danish" goods, in an effort to help offset the bullying boycott from Arab countries.

Here's a list of Danish businesses and brands to patronize:

• LEGO

• Tuborg Beer (Buy some for me, too!)
• Carlsberg Beer
• White Clover Dairy - They are owned by Arla, one of the Danish companies being boycotted.
• The Danish Food Shop
• Danish Deli Food
• Danish Porcelin Imports
• Dansk Dinnerware and Glassware

Here are some banners for your website or blog. There's a cool corner logo there, along with Javascript code to place it in the upper right of any page. It is the same one that's on the upper right corner of this website at the time of this writing.

Here is a link to one of the more popular blog entires on the topic.

Please, won't somebody think of the cows?

Tailen made an awesome LJ post that goes into all sorts of details on what happened regarding this whole issue.

My thoughts on this whole thing:

The strength of the reaction rather surprised me. Before reading the above post, I had wondered if folks with an agenda were inflaming the situation just to push a political agenda. Sadly, it seems that it is indeed the case.

In fact, the folks who started it all were Muslims that live in... Denmark! They moved to the country so they could escape oppression, then engaged in their very own form of oppression by trying to bully their own country's government into censoring an independent newspaper. Talk about being a bunch of complete and total hippocrates.
