This thing with Denmark and the cartoons is just getting silly. When a cartoon can drive a significant portion of a certian religious group to violence, it’s time for the world to take a long, hard look at things.
“Whoever defames our prophet should be executed,” said Ismail Hassan, 37, a tailor who marched through the pouring rain along with hundreds of others in the West Bank city of Ramallah. “Bin Laden our beloved, Denmark must be blown up,” protesters in Ramallah chanted.
These people are demanding to be treated with respect, but with beliefs like these (and no — it’s not just a few militants) it’s not going to happen any time soon. Much conflict lies ahead.
Much.
