Perhaps so. The whole matter is very complicated. Most of the protesteres against the drawings haven't actuallye seen them - or they have been shown many more drawings, that was never published in Denmark. Some demontrations are actually about something quite different - either local political issues or about Denmarks - and other Western countries presence in Afganistan and Iraq, which has very litle to do with a small, unfortunate Danish newspaper. But you are right, some things don't add up. In Denmark it's illegal to say racist things - people have been punished for this. And it can be illegal to call somebody else a racist, without good cause. (The Nazi's were b.t.w. racists not only in their language, art etc. but certainly in action as well). But it is obviously not really illegal to offend muslims! As I said - it's very complicated. And I'm not able to analyse it properly. Who is BTW. My aim was just to point out, that when religion and politics are combined - you get a very dangereous mixture. Regards Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk
