Check out the twisted logic in the quote from the knucklehead at the bottom of the article: ************************************************************* http://sympaticomsn.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060210/muslim_rallies_060210 Asian Muslims hold biggest rallies yet CTV.ca News Staff Massive rallies were held throughout Asia and the rest of the world Friday, as the furor over cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad appeared to be spreading. Thousands of protesters burned Danish flags and chanted anit-American and anti-Israeli slogans in the largest rallies on the Asian continent since the protests against the cartoons began about a week ago. ... "I am calling on all religious men not to attack the embassies of the foreigners," senior Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami told Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran in comments broadcast live on state radio. "Chanting slogans, staging protests and condemning such measures are holy ... but I feel that they want their embassies to be set on fire so they can say that they are innocent," he said. "Take this excuse away from them." ************************************************************* And you just know that embassies that go out without their heads covered are practically asking for it, the sluts. "No, don't burn it." "Come on, come on; you know you want it." Geoff
Listen, he's doing the right thing- expressing reasons not to burn the embassies in a way the protesters would understand.
Actually that's a good point. It seems apparently obvious that these protesters can't comprehend the simple fact that burning these embassys is not a cool thing to do. Good thinking Batman.
Giving a bogus reason to get something done, not unlike Bush- oops! I said it! omg, i'm so sorry, did i just compare the Ayatollah to the President of the Untied States? Omg, wow, i think i soiled myself in fear and confusion...
Well this is exavtly what Denmark is doing and saying over these embassies being burnt . Makes sense to me as Denmark intentionally caused trouble over these cartoons . You see how it works Denmark shifts blame and responsibility of these riots from themselves and onto the victims .
You blame Denmark as a whole? Yeah, that's a good idea. Nice to see people are still painting people with the same brush these days, tis rude to be excluding people. So, what about these cartoon riots against Norweigen ambassies? Or the US base? What about the rather bemused Chilean government who has lost an embassy because of this? Yeah, these rioters are completely innocent for burning down The Damascus building over a doodle. Denmark did not intentionally cause anything. This was over five months ago and the newspaper said cartoons were published in has a very low circulation. Someone on the Muslim side of the fence has been hitting the beehive trying to get this kind of reaction out of people. If these rioters would just stop for a few minutes, take some deep breaths and think this whole thing might just blow over like it's supposed to. The only people making this worse are the ones in the streets burning shit! And do all these rioters have jobs? Surely they have better things to do with their time. Man, they must have some generous employers!
Yes Denmark was behind this provocation . Here is the provocation , making this cartoon quest into a competition , with the design of creating a furor with the moslems . Provoking the unconcerned moslem minority into action , when these cartoon failed to whip up the expected frenzy they extended the provocation. And this is where the rightwing xenophobic Danish goverment jumps in , deliberately forestalling any attempt to stop the outrage in the beginning . Here is a telling example of this papers history , Nazi sympathies and Quisling abetting . And here is the papers provocative campaign against Moslems which were just a lie . An editor-in-chief resigns over another racst campaign led by this paper .
Well, that's true in a sense. Not that Denmark wants their embassies burned, but when their embassies do get burned, it shifts all the blame on Muslims rather than the originators who sparked and fueled the problem, the Danes. Someone else mentioned Bush, and yep, that's the exact style tactics Karl Rove uses to get way with some of the crap they do. Shift the blame elsewhere and you can get away with anything. Not that the Danes are trying to shift the blame, the Muslims are just digging themselves deeper and deeper into the ground. They sure do have a lot of rope to hang themselves with now. - N
Oh, Brian. Just when I think you can't get any dumber... You always know just what to say. Thankyou. Geoff
And the original source for Brian's rage? A Socialist International newspaper. Fuck, I'm socialist and even I won't have anything to do with those guys. Brian, I hope you're able to find somewhere to vent your anger. Is there an embassy handy? Geoff
No, you are wrong. Denmark has nothing to do with this 'provocation'. The people that did it just happened to be from Denmark. You can't go around blaming a whole nation for something a few people did, this isn't the middle ages anymore. The middle east is boycotting Danish products. Why? Did Lurpak secretly go to the newspaper "Go on, print the cartoon for shits and giggles!"
I don't give a fuck if the Denmark Prime Minister unvield the cartoons himself in the middle of downtown Tehran, the point is people are rioting, killing, and burning down embassies over a fucking cartoon! Stop with your conspiracy theories and address the main issue, these people are fucking dumbasses. Someone just drop a missle on the idiots and call it a day. These rioters represent the epitome of Human stupidity.
