Support Denmark - Drink Carlsberg

Newspapers across Europe Wednesday reprinted the controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide protests two years ago.
The move came one day after Danish authorities arrested three people allegedly plotting a “terror-related assassination” of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist behind the drawing.
I will never understand how you can protest a violent depiction of your religion by being violent. However, it is not particular to the Muslim faith that logic and reason do not enter into the equation. In my short time blogging, I’ve come across quite a few evangelical Christian bloggers through comments that they have posted on my site or trolling. The circular logic and reason that they employ to argue their points is mind boggling in itself; I can never follow along. I suppose that’s what home school does to you.
One of the plotters in this case was Danish. He will be tried. The other two are Tunisian. They will be deported. Apparently the plot was intercepted too early in the process to bring charges against the Tunisians, but I find it appropriate justice that they will be forced to leave the country. They had an opportunity to live in a modernized country and experience the benefits that go with it yet they squandered it. Why should you enjoy the benefits of of modernity while at the same time you try to take society back to the dark ages? Again, the logic makes no sense.
