61. #39
Johan Identitet ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (02.09.06)
I disagree completely with post #39. The "newspaper" is actually a magazine for far-rightist racist party in Sweden.
62. Blasfhemic drawings is normal in Scandinavia
PT ,   Norway   (02.10.06)
So printing some funny cartoons of jesus is not a problem. I use to live in Israel som ten years ago, and remember that they show "Life of Brian" on Easter holiday. And for me as a christian.. thats ok.. if it is ment as a provocation well... its a free world.
63. WHO STARTED THIS?
Odin ,   Norumbega   (02.10.06)
Danish muslims started this. They sendt some of there imams to the midle east, Turkey and other arab countries with the pictures and showed them to religious leaders. They even found some "new and worse" mohammed pictures, pictures that has nothing to with Muhammed. Why? they want to make this case as big as possible. They are lyers and speak with rwo tounges.
64. The Sweden democrats is not a racist party!
Andreas Ekström ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (02.10.06)
There are some people slandering the Sweden democrats (Sverigedemokraterna), and its political newspaper, SD-Kuriren. The sweden democrats is a nationalist party with a no regards of racial origin. The view the party has is that anyone who is culturally swedish, is swedish! The party even has a vice chairman that has a daughter who is adopted from india which futher should prove the partys view on race. Any member found to have racist views are very soon excluded from the party. And we are not a radical righist party either. We are proponents of a strong welfarestate as Sweden was during 1960-1970. I think that ynetnews.com has taken its information from swedish sources that uses the swedish left-wing extremist newspaper "expo" as source. Expo is run by people that idealies Stalin, Lenin, Mao and other communist murder regimes. Expo also cooperates with far left extremist that often are openly anti-semitic against jews and israel. Which clearly makes them an unobjectiv source. It would be better to use norweigan and danish sources instead since they are a lot more objectiv in their reportings.
65. Kudos to Sweden
MG ,   Norway   (02.10.06)
for finally supporting their neighbouring friends!
66. Long live the Freedom of speech!!!

Long live the Freedom of speech!!! Don't let the minorities force us to silence!!
67. why a religion?????
norwegian ,   trondheim   (02.10.06)
Why do we need a religion..? its all bullshit anyway.. Can understand that people can be so stupid..use theire lives for something that dont exsits.. Do something fun insted got dammit! waist of lives.. poor bastards
68. Danish Boycott
Mooshu ,   USA   (02.10.06)
I think those who believe that the radical Muslim position is unjust should seek to help Denmark by locating and buying Danish products in their own country. Muslims getting their nose all bent out of shape should see that doing so has produced many more cartoons and negative comments about them. I for one will purchase more Danish products to support Democracy over Tyranny and will respond to the Muslim boycott with one of my own against Islamic products and charities and give my hard earned income to those who are better deserving.
69. Re:Double-Standard Racism:
Mary ,   Canada   (02.10.06)
That is coz Lord Jesus is the real God. So it is justified
70. Its been taken down
lavendel ,   EU   (02.11.06)
The swedish site in question has been taken offline.
71. Extreme Swedish society
Anders Kellberg ,   Stockholm   (02.11.06)
The only reason that (explicitly anti-racist) party can be characterized as 'radical rightist' or 'xenophobic' is that the Swedish society: newspaper, parliament etc, has become so extreme. Extreme compared to neighboring countries and compared to how Sweden functioned just a couple decades ago. So, just simple common sense appears 'extreme' in comparison! George Orwell's 1984 isn't far away...
72. security police
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (02.11.06)
The swedish security police and the foreign ministry has broken swedish law and closed down the website. that freedom of press has been under threat in Sweden for a long time is widely known. But it hasn't been this bad before. Luckily even the mainstream media here, which is very leftist, is very critical of it and has slammed the goverment for doing this. So maybe the goverment will be forced to apologize, and they've been reported to the police also. I very much doubt this goverment can win the election in September now. in protests, many swedish bloogers are now spreading the mohammed-cartoons instead.
73. American Flag
penney ,   usa   (02.12.06)
I don't understand all of the fuss over the pics of Muhammad!! Muslims burn our American Flag, which is sacred to us, on a daily basis! Freedom of speech is a right!! We find humor in everything and we are not a bunch of stiffs!!
74. You're only as big...
Moronmad ,   Denver   (02.16.06)
as what it takes to anger you...I completely agree with post #20. Islam teaches that all non-Muslims are "infidels". It is a religion of intolerance, hatred and frustration of their own ignorance. Talk about repression, It reminds me of the crazy kid on the street I grew up on that would try anything to hurt those that didn't agree with him...he's now doing time.
