— DrewM Perhaps they will be killed last.
Politiken issued the apology after settling with a Saudi lawyer representing eight Muslim groups that complained after the cartoon was reprinted by 11 Danish papers in solidarity with the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who received death threats last year.Outrage at the move was led by DenmarkÂ’s Prime Minister and by Mr Westergaard, 74, who survived an alleged assassination attempt by an Islamic axeman at his home last month.
Politiken responded that it was apologising for the offence caused, not the decision to publish, in an attempt to reduce tensions with the Muslim world.
...In a statement, Politiken said that it “recognises and deplores” that Muslims were offended by the caricature. “We apologise to anyone who was offended by our decision to reprint the cartoon drawing,” it said.
Toeger Seidenfaden, the Politiken editor in chief, added that the paper was apologising for the offence caused by the cartoon, not the decision to reprint it. “We have the right to print Kurt Westergaard's drawings, we have the right to print the original 12 drawings, we have the right to print all the caricatures in the world,” he said. “We apologise for the offence which the reprint has caused. That is what we apologise for.”
He said that Politiken considered the statement a “unique chance” to foster dialogue on the issue and reduce tensions between Denmark and the Muslim world.
Yes, the chance to sell out core values to thugs is "unique" and apparently must be taken whenever one has the chance.
The other newspapers who ran the cartoons are rather pissed at Politiken for breaking ranks and selling out. It's no doubt made it much more dangerous for those defending the core principles of western civilization. The first crack is usually the hardest one to get but once it happens the rest are easier. People always remember the first to toss others under the bus but it gets easier once the precedent is set. Now the Islamists know it's not a question of whether pressure will work, just how much.
Thanks to Politiken, the pressure will no doubt be upped on the rest. But they should be fine because these things always work out well for those who sell out.

Can you name one time that ANY muslim ever apologized for anything?
I can't think of a single instance where a muslim individual or muslim group or organization apologized. Not one.

Why would they apologize? Their acts are perfect; demanded by Allah, the creator of the universe. Duh! Our very existence is an affront to their god.

Mohammed sucked, and Mohammedans suck.
It just can't be said often enough.
I sometimes wonder if it will ever come time for "Operation Last Crusade", and I don't mean Indiana Jones either. From Bosina to Zanzibar and from Morocco to the southern Phillippines, either wipe them out or reform them. Turn Mecca and Medina and Qom into nuclear test sites and turn every mosque into a bacon and sausage BBQ shop.
All the Great Powers put together coudl do it.
Will the Euros get some nads?
Will the Russkies and Chinese decide that Islamunist uprisings in Chechnya and Xinjiang are worse than using Iran to tweak Uncle Sam?
Will India suffer one bombing too many?

The cartoons were not the offense that they should be apologizing for. It's this apology for which they should be ashamed. This pathetic, sniveling behavior does nothing but encourage the vile muslim scum to demand even more. The only thing that will work against these muslim trash, to quiet their constant moaning, bitching, and complaining will be the liberal application of truncheons and bullets.
This will get worse. Here's a sample of what is to come:

However, based on the history of the cult founded by the Pedophile Who's Name Be Praised, I reserve the right to call them what they are, a bunch of dark age barbarians.
I'll change my tune the day they allow a religion other than their own to worship freely in one of their own "Holy Cities" as we allow them.

The Left consistently compares social conservatives to Islamists, both in goals and methods. But it appears that if social conservatives were to engage in the same sort of methods as Islamists, the Left would give in on all of the social issues in question on a fairly short period of time.
So not only is the Left lying when they make the assertion that there is no substantive difference between conservatives and Islamists, they are absolutely depending on their lie being wholly and totally false.
It is certainly an odd state of affairs.

If you don't already know about them, 'Jihadwatch' and The Gates of Vienna ( .blogspot.com ) do a great job of monitoring the slow death-rattle of European civilization
This is what dupes like Chuckie Johnson don't get. What Europe needs is a hardcore backlash. Parties like Vlaams Belang are an understandable, perhaps necessary, part of the Euro backlash. Even the head of the "British National Party" told his fellow neo-Nazi lunkheads something to the effect of "We've got a bigger problem than Jews now..."

Well, taking a step back, Mohammed created perhaps the perfect religion for a warlord. It is not by accident that he took a group of scattered and weak brigands and merchants and was able to forge a empire that equaled the great powers of the day.

It's true, and it's not just against the Jews. Malmo has suffered a huge increase in rape and other violent crime, owing to the influx of muslim vermin.
I don't have a link, but have read elsewhere that Swedish girls, who may be the world's most promiscuous, have taken in large numbers to wearing modern day chastity belts - anti-rape belts to protect themselves. It's not blonde nordic aryans who are causing this unsettling fashion trend. We all know who it is. On the rare occassion that the police manage to catch one of the rapist, they will ask them why they did it - and they admit that it's an act of cultural war against the Swedes.

Hell, even Comedy Central did its part to destroy Western freedoms when it censored the Cartoon Wars episode of South Park ("Comedy Central refuses to broadcast an image of the Prophet Mohammed,"
Funny thing is that in that entire season I think there was an image of the prophet mohammed. At the end of the opening title sequence they had a crowd of characters in the background. The Mohammed character from the religious superfriends episode is back there everytime.

It's a nice thought, but the problem with ruling people who don't want you to rule them is that they never get tired of resisting, but you get tired of ruling. You can never extract enough out of them to make it worth it.
There is a reason that the United States doesn't have a problem with the native poeple conquered during the march westward. It's because there are not enough of them left to raise a fuss. That is what needs to happen in the middle east and every other muslim nation. Not conquest and subjugation - but true colonization and population replacement. Alas - the people of our culture, the greatest that has ever been, are the ones on the receiving end of that right now. It is we who are being steadily supplanted. It's sickening. I would rather see every one of my friends and family members in the grave, and indeed the destruction of the entire earth, rather than suffer them to live under Islam.

Which makes me wonder if the Red Chinese will ever decide to solve their gender imbalance by killing Muslim men and taking their women. This would be a test of Chinese ethnocentrism, of course, and Red Chinese domination of Indonesia would probably be politically intolerable to the United States.
