Denmark's apologies not good enough
Just about everybody in Denmark has expressed regret that the Mohammed Cartoons may have caused offense. But that isn't good enough. Denmark must kowtow really low before it will satisfy "Muslim preachers," namely one Tareq al—Suweidan.
This is of course an intimidation tactice, after the trumped—up "offense" at the perfectly innocent Mohammed cartoons. It is Muslim cultural imperialism. It means a surrender of free speech from now on out, to be followed by further demands. Why aren't Danish women wearing burqas? Why are they provoking Muslim men by showing their bodies? Why are Danish Gays out of the closet? And why do Danes put blasphemous ideas out on the Internet, where innocent Muslims can read them?
It won't end with Denmark.
