See?

The Norwegian magazine that thought it'd be a good idea to print these pictures is a christian magazine, of course.

People who don't know the difference between 'freedom of speech' and 'utter lack of respect for others' should not be surprised when said others express their freedom of speech in the form of boycotts and flag burnings and such.

On behalf of my country, I am ashamed of the idiots amongst us.

And also a symbol that is Not Supposed To Be Depicted.

It's the attitude of the Norwegian publisher (we have the right to express ourselves through doing this!) that has me riled up the most.

Well, the Muslim people who aren't overreacting irrationally are at their leisure to feel ashamed of the ones who are, of course. I'm just expressing my opinion of certain magazine editors.
