1. Danes have convictions and balls--hooray for them!
(02.16.08)
They could teach the British appeasers a thing or two about not allowing themselves to be intimidated by Islamist fanatics.
2. Not again!....
(02.16.08)
3. Is the west innocent ?
Jean Van Daem   (02.16.08)
The West is indeed in a War of Civilizations which will not be contained unless Islam is put back to its primitive beginnings. If you inventory the Arab Muslim nations, you will see that these people are contained only by a strong man ruling with an iron hand. Every time they gained freedom, it is inevitably followed by riots, massive killings and power struggles between the war lords and, when possible, as with the Taliban savage rules of Islam, suppressing all. Woman are simply chattel, to be used to breed like animals. Is the West innocent in the advancement of a killer religion and its people? Absolutely not! We sold to them in pure greed the best/worst of our weapons' designed to kill in volume. We trained the Muslim killers to kill with greater skill. We brought them into our military camps to teach advanced methods of terror with missiles, explosives, gas - coupled with other technologies of communication. When they turned on us, as did Bin Laden, our CIA was surprised with the "Law of Unintended Consequences" or “Blowback" in the trade jargon of spies as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/long-before-911-long-before-1948.html
4. Ah yes, everyone is steadily starting to awaken
Cameron ,   USA   (02.16.08)
Murder over cartoons. The shameful lunacy of it all.
5. Hope Solana not going Iran to tender apology to Ayatollahs!
KMR ,   Overseas   (02.16.08)
6. Danish Dynamite - good going..
The Good Guys ,   Goodland   (02.16.08)
Wake up Europe before it´s too late. These Satanists aren´t only aiming to kill Jews. You are a easier target than them and will be served as dessert. Once Israel is gone, the front line of Jihad warfare will advance to the EU. Don´t trust me, just listen to what is being preached to the 20 million Muslims in your mosques. Wake Up!
7. Now why cant the rest of the world be like the Danes?
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (02.16.08)

Okay, this does it - for some time now, I've wanted to visit Copenhagen .. I'm planning my trip for this Spring! Thank you Denmark for your integrity - I know I'm going to feel at home away from home.
13. LEt the cartoons fly
AMERICAN   (02.16.08)
OF all of us. that includes those ones of jews that arent very flattering to jews or israel. I am all for freedom of speech, but if you are going to applaud a cartoon muslims find offensive, you better be preprare for cartoons jews always complain about being anti-semitic to be made mainstream.
14. thank you denmark...
mıhael ,   turkey   (02.16.08)
15. You should see...
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.16.08)
what happens After the beast releaves itself at the doorway.
16. Consider it a 'valentine'
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.16.08)
17. #13
J ,   USA   (02.16.08)
Come on. There isn't one edition of muslim newspapers without caricatures of Jews or Christians or Hindus or non-Muslim Africans etc. That is the ultimate hypocrisy of this. That the ones becoming upset and are ready to kill are the same ones that have no problem dressing up Jews with every disgraceful insult possible. #13, please. They are simply flying already.
18. Denmark & the Jews
James ,   New York, USA   (02.16.08)
Denmark has historically been good to the Jews. We will not forget, and neither will the almighty. Thank you.
19. Time for Israel and every western country to publish cartoon
Free world   (02.16.08)
20. To #13 So-Called "AMERICAN" :
Another American ,   USA   (02.16.08)
There are no shortage of anti-semetic cartoons in the Arabic Media, which the Arab world heartily applauds too, and you don't see Jewish people burning down embassies or threatening cartoonists with beheading. THAT IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE.I personally applaud the Danish people for standing up for freedom of the press, not for printing caricatures of Mohammed.
21. Speech shall be Free
greykangaroo ,   Sydney   (02.17.08)
The Danes are the only ones with any balls - good on them!
22. THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS BURN YOUR FLAG.
Scott   (02.17.08)
This is how these primitives work, race to the streets with placards and banners, screaming 'death to ...whoever' . These communities are sick, hate-filled bombs waiting to explode over religious beliefs (again).
23. We are proud!
Christian ,   Norway   (02.17.08)
Your are a good neigbour Denmark, i'm proud of you! Go ahead, front the freedom of our western countries. Israel you are in our thinkings. Bless you, and hope to visit again very soon!!
24. Denmark
Ira Allen ,   Rutlan, VT USA   (02.17.08)
Let's all stand behind Denmark in it's stand against Islamic fascism. Long live Denmark.
25. Thats what I call guts!
Scott ,   NY, NY   (02.17.08)
26. The rest of the world could learn a lesson from this....
Joe ,   Seattle   (02.17.08)
Freedom is speech is great.... we should use it more often. Maybe every newspaper should print those cartoons.
27. Tony Blair could learn from Denmark
Jeffrey ,   Boston, USA   (02.17.08)
28. To #13 and others of this equivalency problem...
Micha   (02.17.08)
not everything is "anti" whatever. The fact is, Islam has been hijacked for ideological reasons. To have created and disaplayed the cartoon for editorial reasons was good. To just show hatred to others through caricature is in poor taste and is trruly "anti" that whatever. Let's not make everything equivalent. Can we learn to do that? Think for once in a while.
29. danish are the only brave nation in the world.
ygalg   (02.17.08)
where other nations lost their guts. (israel included)
30. Good on you Danes....Rest of the world take note
freejay ,   Israel   (02.17.08)
on how to treat the islamic threats. If only here in Israel, we had a courageous government like this to stand up to these islamic terrorists. I want to see every paper in the world publish these cartoons, and show that freedom of speech is a common right!
