Iran Parliament Demands Punishment Of Denmark And Netherlands
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian lawmakers have urged the president to review ties with Denmark and the Netherlands over reprints of satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in Danish and Dutch newspapers, state radio said on Monday.
Protests and rioting erupted in 2006 in Muslim countries around the world when the cartoons, one showing the Prophet with a turban resembling a bomb, first appeared in a Danish daily. At least 50 people were killed and three Danish embassies attacked.
Most Muslims consider depictions of the Prophet Mohammad offensive.
Danish newspapers republished one of the drawings of the Prophet last week in protest against what they said was a plot to murder the cartoonist who drew it.
In a letter to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, some 215 lawmakers of Iran’s 290-seat assembly said Iran should review trade and political links with Denmark and the Netherlands to respond to “an anti-Islamic and Islamophobic current” in Holland and Denmark.
“We, representatives of the honorable Iranian nation, condemn this devil measure. We ask the president … to seriously review Iran’s political and trade ties with these countries,” the lawmakers said in the letter.

One hundred years from now the historians will say that islamofacism was eliminated during “The Cartoon Wars”.

Simple, really …
MOVE BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRIES!!!
Then it’ll be easier for TPTB (us …) to find you and give you the wonderful “parting gifts” we’ve been holding for you, without [confusing] you with the Dutch people who are finally waking from their appeasement slumber.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:01 amIf it wasnt this it would just be something else. these muslims are always bitching about something. So i dont think you should ever take steps to not “offend” because they are just a bunch of babies. Always looking for a reason to justify their actions.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:35 amPathetic and so very predictable. Go Denmark and Holland. Let the push back begin against these barbaric animals. I hope this starts a trend and immigration from ANY muslim country is stopped. Make them stay in the cesspools of their own making.
February 18th, 2008 at 8:49 amSo much for Islam being a religion of peace, understanding, and tolerance. (According to CAIR)
Go Denmark!
February 18th, 2008 at 9:37 amI say we should punish them back
February 18th, 2008 at 10:00 amIts interesting how peaceful Muslims have such predictably violent reactions to everything they don’t like. Trying to make a case for Islamic peacefulness based on the facts must be awfully difficult. One would have to prove that each case was not affected by Islam (to either a greater or lesser degree). In fact, one would have to prove that Islam was simply coincidental to each case. To me, that sounds like an awfully tall order when most, if not all, of these cases involves the words “allahu akbar”.
February 18th, 2008 at 10:18 amThe dmonic nation of Iraniac is asking for it big time. No kow-towing to these punks. Time to resist and put up a fight. Get some Danes. You’re fantastic Dutchmen and women. Stand tall for freedom and piss on these Islamic scumbags.
February 18th, 2008 at 10:39 amlet me get this right. Muslims want to go around killing and bombing out of anger towards Denmark,because the cartoon depicted their silly prophet as someone who promotes kiling and bombing?
point made Denmark.
