More Mohamed cartoons - In a Jordanian newspaper !?..... I thought islam prohibits that?

Now this is interesting http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/story.asp?j=171471868&p=y7y47z574, you know how all the moon bat, islamic nutballs are screaming about the mohamid cartoons... (Scroll down into the earlier links to view them , along with other mohamid cartoons) well now it seems that a Jordanian newspaper, the Arabic weekly Shihan, ran three of the 12 cartoons, including the one that depicts Muhammed as wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a burning fuse.

The headline in the Jordanian newspaper said: This is how the Danish newspaper portrayed Prophet Muhammad, may Gods blessing and peace be upon him.

So now of course I expect all moonbat muslims to now run screaming through their streets threatening death to the Jordanian newspaper publishers, demanding a formal apology from the Jordanianian government, and of course a call for boycotting anything and everything from Jordan....


...any moment now....Just wait..... o'cmon now, ..Well maybe not.....


On another note... I am so proud to be of Baltic origins.... Go Vika, Go!... Thanks to http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/

David Rennie reports from The Telegraph about the “Sound of Europe” summit, just ended in Salzburg. It had an unexpected shot in the arm for America. Or perhaps it would be better described as a warning shot over the bow of Old Europe by New Europe — mind your manners, Grandpa.

A lefty newspaper editor “drawlingly invited” Latvia’s president to agree with his assessment that the new EU members from eastern and central Europe was too pro-American to be considered proper Europeans.

Having listened to the anti- American cant and condescension, Vaika Vike-Freiberga was fed up:

The editor chose the wrong target to bully. Latvia may be small, but its woman president Vaika Vike-Freiberga survived wartime air raids, a childhood in refugee camps and five decades of exile, first in French Morocco, then more comfortably in Canada, as a psychology professor. Mrs Vike-Frieberga let it rip.....

.....

"I am amazed by the speed with which Europe has forgotten that it was rescued during World War Two when the Americans entered the fight. The contribution of the trans-Atlantic link to European security is something that Europeans have long taken for granted. But since the corridor to Berlin [was secured] right after the war, right up to the great debates and conflict in Germany about having intercontinental ballistic missiles or not, Europe has felt quite comfortable under the umbrella of security that Nato offered, and that means the trans-Atlantic link.

"By the way I'd like to remind people here that when you see row upon row of white crosses in the fields of Flanders and North of France, those are also Canadians, thousands of Canadian soldiers who died for the freedom of Europe, for the freedom of the Netherlands, of France, and of Italy.

"The trans-Atlantic link is intrinsic, it goes back to Europe bringing its ideas and ideals to the North American continent - along with smallpox and the common cold and the extinction of the native peoples, naturally - they brought both destruction and ideals. North America has developed different models of the same European values that they inherited. The idea that we have somehow two systems that are inimical, I find extraordinarily strange.

"We have this division that was introduced between Old Europe and New Europe, talked about by Mr Rumsfeld. Well, when Mr Rumsfeld was asked about this at the beginnings of the second Bush administration, he said: 'That was the old Rumsfeld who made that distinction, the new Rumsfeld would like to leave it behind.

’”She offered a question of her own. "What is it that Old Europe is worried about, with respect to New Europe? That we are friendly with America? All that we have asked is to be part of Nato, and part of the security umbrella that Europe has enjoyed for half a century.

" At this point, she turned to face the audience directly. "You lived in democracies for longer times than we," she began. Scattered clapping began to be heard. "Austria, by the way, came very close to being in the same situation as Latvia. Be grateful for your fate, don't complain," she said, this time to swelling applause.

She went on: "Throughout the years, in parts of Europe, intellectuals and even politicians were enamoured with the idea of Marxism and even some thought the Soviet Union was an embodiment of what Socialism and the protection of the worker was all about. America was more realistic. America looked on us as captive nations. We were captive nations, and we are now free."

As I said, Vika, you makes me proud! Now , maybe some of my readers will also have a better understanding of me, and why with my baltic background I feel so strongly about freedoms that others take for granted!
