Those of you who are unaware of the affair started by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and its valiant refusal to give in to Muslim pressure: Read Robert Spencer's "Thou Shalt Not Draw" at FrontPage.
As I am writing this, I know of two other German Bloggers who followed the Brussels Journal's appeal: Politically Incorrect and Gegenstimme.

Consider it done!
Please note that Jyllands-Posten has not apologized for publishing the cartoons but for hurting the feelings of muslim people. On the contrary they underlined in their statement that they were fully within their right to post the cartoons in the first place and have made no promise of never doing anything similar in the future. I think it's a fair atnce to say, that the purpose of the publication wasn't to hurt peoples' feelings while at the same time fully upholding their right to freedom of speech.
"...the purpose of the publication wasn't to hurt peoples' feelings while at the same time fully upholding their right to freedom of speech."
I couldn't agree more! However, To live is to be hurt, isn't it? *I*, for one, got very few apologies for all the many times I was hurt. And I survived.
imagine what would happen, if something really bad happens, not only some pictures... they will bomb our ass?
"imagine what would happen, if something really bad happens, not only some pictures... they will bomb our ass?"
Do YOU think they wouldn't?
To PBS-Watcher:
Oh I forgot: I've blogrolled you!
It will be great if your Free Speech includes also free speech against Israel's crimes in Palestine.
When it comes to Israel, or if someone's opinion contradicts with the Jews, if you mention something about the holocoast in a way that the zionists do not like, it is not free speech anaymore.
If you want to stand for free speech and want peole to respect your democracy, have some more guts to stand against Israel.
Talking against Israel is met with an accusation of anti-semitism, if you question the holocoast, you will be punished by law in Europe,, but if you insult Islam,, it is free speech. This is Europe now.
Who said I am for "Free Speech"? In fact, I don't give a fig for it. All I want is not to be murdered by Muslim savages and Europe is doing very little to nothing to prevent it.

Betty, that only confirms my belief that we haven't seen the end of it yet. Not by far!
