| A number of other pseudo-countries also joined the fun. In Saudi Arabia, a very bored slave population boycotted Danish goods and the government withdrew its ambassador. Kuwait also withdrew its ambassador, and forced its state-controlled supermarket to stop selling Danish food. The Egyptian government( you guessed it) also declared that it would close its embassy and withdraw personnel. Experts on Danish-Islam relations are baffled as to how long Denmark can withstand this mass exodus of Armani wearing terrorists, to say nothing of the shame they must be feeling knowing that their cartoons force Muslims to starve themselves. According to news agencies, one of the cartoons portrayed Muhammad as �having a long gray beard and a sword, with a black rectangle covering his eyes.� Head clerics were outraged that geometric shapes could be so rude. Angry Palestinians who were not already protesting freedom decided to show their ire by burning Danish flags and declaring jihad on math. Much can be said about "freedom of speech" and "religious tolerance", but there is perhaps no better way to close this than by quoting the Newspaper�s official bullshit release: |
| �We at Jyllands-Posten feel regret because the issue has reached this level and we reiterate that we did not mean to insult anybody," |
| In stupid international news, the Libyan government is closing its embassy in Denmark over a recent newspaper publication which featured what were probably hilarious depictions of the �prophet� Muhammad. Libya�s foreign ministry released a statement which said that �because the Danish authorities have not taken a �responsible� stance on this issue, we have decided to close our embassy in Copenhagen.� Now, I�m not a muslimtologist, but I can only assume that taking a �responsible stance� in a country such as Libya can mean nothing short of DEATH BY SLOW TORTURE. As you well know, Muslim�s do not allow their mascot to be depicted in any way-funny or boring- for fear that impressionable Arab youth will fall into idolatry. And like all excellent newspapers would, the Jyllands-Posten has stated quite resolutely �fuck you� by refusing to apologize. This move is also in fact quite bold considering Islam had already firmly positioned its head up its ass by walking into the paper�s headquarters and threatening to murder the fourteen cartoonists( That's fourteen metric cartoonists, there being only twelve cartoons and all), one by one,if Denmark didn't either blow itself up or become Muslim. |
